答案句:Being an information technology, or IT, worker is not a job I envy.
参考译文:成为一名信息技术(IT)工作者并不是我羡慕的工作。
定位线索:题干“What does the author say about working in IT”→答案句取自首段“Being an information technology, or IT, worker is not a job I envy.”;文中“not a job I envy”对应选项B“It does not appeal to him”(不吸引他)。
解析:题干问作者对IT工作的看法,答案句直接说“不是一份我羡慕的工作”,即不吸引他,对应B。A项“被许多人羡慕”与原文相反;C项“经济回报高”和D项“与他的能力不匹配”在原文中均未提及,属无中生有。

答案:C
答案句:According to a recent survey, employees who have a job reliant on IT support consider IT a major source of job dissatisfaction.
参考译文:根据最近的一项调查,依赖IT支持的工作的员工认为IT是工作不满的主要来源。
定位线索:题干“What is the finding of a recent survey on employees who have a job reliant on IT support”→答案句取自第2段“According to a recent survey, employees who have a job reliant on IT support consider IT a major source of job dissatisfaction.”;文中“a major source of job dissatisfaction”对应选项C“Many employees are deeply frustrated by IT”(许多员工对IT深感沮丧)。
解析:题干直接定位到第2段调查发现,答案句指出员工认为IT是工作不满的主要来源,即对IT深感沮丧,对应C。A项“IT帮助提高生产力”和B项“IT帮助改善质量控制”与原文第2段“productivity deteriorating or quality control non-existent”相反;D项“大多数员工在工作中严重依赖IT”是调查对象的前提而非发现,答非所问。

- A. Consider the various expectations of their customers.
- B. Draw up a list of the efficiencies to be promised.

答案:D
答案句:This occurs when business leaders implement IT initiatives with little consideration of how those changes will impact the end user.
参考译文:这种情况发生在企业领导者实施IT计划时很少考虑这些变化将如何影响最终用户。
定位线索:题干“What should business leaders do before implementing new IT initiatives”→答案句取自第3段“This occurs when business leaders implement IT initiatives with little consideration of how those changes will impact the end user.”;文中“little consideration of how those changes will impact the end user”对应选项D“Think about the possible effects on their employees”(考虑对员工的可能影响)。
解析:题干问实施新IT计划前领导者应做什么,答案句指出问题在于“很少考虑对最终用户的影响”,反推应多考虑,对应D。A项“考虑客户的各种期望”偷换概念,原文是“end user”(最终用户)即员工而非客户;B项“列出承诺的效率清单”和C项“评估培训员工的成本”在原文中均未提及,属无中生有。

定位线索:题干“How can a business help improve its employees' experience in using IT”→答案句取自末段“businesses need to set up their IT infrastructure so that it is designed to fit in with their employees' work”;文中“fit in with their employees' work”对应选项A“By designing systems that suit their needs”(通过设计适合他们需求的系统)。
解析:题干问企业如何改善员工使用IT的体验,答案句明确说应设计IT基础设施以符合员工工作,对应A。B项“确保员工心理健康”在原文中未提及,属无中生有;C项“调整员工工作以适应IT系统”与原文“rather than adjust their work”直接相反;D项“提供定期在职培训”在原文中未提及,属无中生有。
