In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed. "Knowledge is power" may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.

　　61. From the passage we can infer that__.

　　[A]electronic mail will soon play a dominant role in transmitting messages

　　[B] it will become more difficult for people to keep secrets in an information era

　　[C]people will spend less time holding meetings or conferences

　　[D] events will be reported on the spot mainly through satellites

　　[答案] A

　　[解题思路]

　　本文可将选项与原文一一对应进行排除。首先B选项的相关内容在原文中没有提及，属于干扰选项，可以排除。C选项对应于原文第四段第五句话“Expertise can be shared world wide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and/or jobs to travel to a distant conference site”(人们通过电话会议就可以分享专业知识，会议参与者们不需要离开自己的住所或者工作岗位去遥远的会场就可以讨论和解决存在争议的问题)，可见减少的时间是去参加会议的旅途时间，而不是开会时间本身，因此C选项也是错误答案。D选项对应于第四段第四句话“Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence”(人造卫星进一步发展了通信能力，可以对各个事件进行现场报道)，文章指出卫星可以提高现场直播的能力，但D选项将原文的表述倒过来讲，现场直播是否主要通过卫星进行就不得而知了，因此D选项也是错误答案。A选项对应于第四段第三句话“Telecommunications developments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and very shortly, electronic mail to bombard people with multitudes of messages”(电信技术的发展使得电视和无线电发送信息，而且很快电子邮件会不断地给人们送来大量的信息)，选项表述符合原文，因此是正确答案。
