问题 Artificial intelligence,or AI,is called artificial for a good reason.Facebook made that point last week by ending its attempt to rely heavily on software algorithms to select news items for its 2 billion users.It announced Jan.19 that the Facebook"community"will be asked to rank news outlets by their trustworthiness.This reader feedback will promote"high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground"in a world with"so much division,"said chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.The first surveys have started in the United States and will soon expand to other countries.The company plans to include the local news outlets of users in its surveys.Like many digital platforms that act as news providers,Facebook had great faith in a belief that programmed electrons in computer servers can discern qualities of thought such as trust,fairness,and honesty.Even in respected newsrooms,however,these traits of character require constant upkeep among journalists and feedback from paying customers.Good judgment on news relies on orders of consciousness beyond what a machine can do.Rather than move toward becoming a hands-on gatekeeper of news,Facebook now hopes its"diverse and representative"sampling of users can lead to a ranking of news outlets-and that would bring a measure of objectivity in its news feed.The company may be in the news business but it has chosen to outsource news credibility to the collective wisdom of individuals and their ability to distinguish truth from falsehood.By placing its trust in people as seekers of truth,Facebook could earn greater trust from its users.This is also a lesson for many companies,especially digital platforms or those in the media business.According to the latest survey of trust in institutions worldwide by Edelman communications firm,"media has become the least-trusted institution for the first time,"more so than other businesses or government.In particular,the US is"enduring an unprecedented crisis of trust"among many of its institutions,says Richard Edelman,president and CEO of Edelman."The root cause of this fall is the lack of objective facts and rational discourse,"he adds.Facebook's shift away from computer-driven news selection is a welcome step toward restoring trust in the overall business of news.This is not a new problem."Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,"wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1807.Yet the Digital Age has forced the issue of trust for news providers.By inviting readers to participate in solving this problem,Facebook has itself set a new bar for earning trust.To which of the following would Mark Zuckerberg most probably agree?A.Common grounds among users are the sources of high quality news.B.Programmed electrons can make good judgment on news quality.C.Computers can not replace human beings in news selection.D.Reader feedback is not needed in respected newsrooms.
选项 A.Common grounds among users are the sources of high quality news.
B.Programmed electrons can make good judgment on news quality.
C.Computers can not replace human beings in news selection.
D.Reader feedback is not needed in respected newsrooms.
答案 C
解析 本题就扎克伯格的观点设问，实质考查Facebook转变新闻筛选方式的原因和目的，可将解题范围锁定第二、三段。第三段末句指出，对新闻的良好判断依赖于超越机器能力的意识逻辑（orders of consciousness beyond what a machine can do）．即：离不开人类判断．C.正确。[解题技巧]A.将第二段①句“高质量新闻促进用户共同感的建立”偷换为“用户间的共同感促进高质量新闻产生”。B.对第三段①句“程序化元件具有鉴别思想品质的能力”断章取义：however之后已转折指出，（即便如此）用户反馈等依然不可缺少。D.对第三段②句“即便是备受尊敬的新闻编辑室也需要（require）付费用户的不断反馈”篡改为与之相反的信息（is not needed）。
