题目解答

答案

材料核心在于“82%的员工认为社交媒体能改善工作关系，60%认为其支持决策过程”。这表明大多数员工对社交媒体持积极态度（A项）。B项未提效率，C项非重点，D项未提及工作时间使用。综合分析，A项最符合材料内容。 答案：A. Most employees think positively of it.

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对材料核心观点的提炼能力，需要准确识别研究数据背后的结论。
解题思路：通过分析材料中具体数据（82%、60%）的描述，判断员工对社交媒体的态度，并排除干扰选项。
关键点：数据直接指向员工的积极评价，而非具体功能（如效率、连接行为）或时间使用情况。

材料中明确提到：

  1. 82%的员工认为社交媒体能改善工作关系
  2. 60%的员工认为社交媒体能支持决策过程

这两组数据均表明员工对社交媒体持正面态度。选项分析如下：

  • A选项（Most employees think positively of it）直接对应数据中的“improve work relationships”和“support decision-making”，是核心结论。
  • B选项（improve work efficiency）未被材料提及，属于过度推断。
  • C选项（enable connections）描述的是行为结果，而非研究的核心态度评价。
  • D选项（spend much work time）材料中仅提到“connecting during work hours”，未涉及时间占比。
