单选题
Questions are based on the following passage.
Job hunting is never easy, but what if data could be used to make the process a little less stressful?Companies such as Linkedln and Monster．com hold vast amounts of information on people's professional lives, but there is one organization that surpasses them all: the federal government．Although rich and comprehensive, government labor data can often be hard to access, bound by red tape and cloaked in jargon.
"With today's technologies, we can do a lot more to build open dam sets for skills," said Aneesh Chopra, the White House's first chief technology officer and founder of Arlington-based start-up Hunch Analytics．During his tenure, Chopra's role involved making government dam more accessible．It's a mission he has continued after his departure, assembling a band of public officials, tech entrepreneurs and think-tank analysts whose focus is firmly on the labor market.
A robust economic recovery tempered by flat wages has reinforced the need to connect Americans with higher-paying technology jobs, according to the White House．That was the rationale behind the President's new initiative, announced last week, to train and hire Americans for more than 500,000 unfilled information teclmology jobs through partnerships with local communities.
"There's not a standard, real-time, modem way to identify all the skills our economy needs in play today．Worlfforce and talent planners have a daunting job in ensuring they have a 'ready-now' workforce, so the more dam they can get, the better informed they are．" said Leighanne Levensaler, senior vice president of products at Workday, a human resources software company that was involved in the project.
The closest thing to a standard national database is the Labor Department's Occupational Information Network Website, known as O * Net．Built in the 1990s, the site compiles dam on more than 900 occupations, with details about job skills, average compensation and a search tool to find jobs by state．But although the site is continually updated, it has been slow to keep pace with the changing job market, according to Chopra and Levensaler.
A push to modernize O * Net is the group's next big undertaking．The President's 2016 budget proposal includes a $ 5 million request to study and test approaches "to modernize and potentially streamline dam collection" for O * Net． The measure seeks to provide " up-to-date coverage of occupations and skills, particularly for high-growth, changing industries．" Chopra convened a roundtable of government officials, academics and private-sector executives last month to discuss measures to improve O * Net．Workday and LinkedIn are among the companies interested in the effort-- which is still at a conceptual stage, Chopra said.
To open-dam advocates such as Chopra, there's no better time to harness the power of information for the economy．"No one company, no matter how amazing they are, has the capacity to get every employer in America to open up their skills data for every job posting," he said．"The government has the capacity to convene stakeholders to open up the dam．"
In what respect is the company database inferior to that of federal government?

A．Amplitude.
B．Accessibility．
C．Integrity．
D．Authority.

参考答案A

解析:
全文翻译
找工作从来都不容易。但是，如果可以用数据来使这个过程不那么令人紧张会怎么样呢?
(61)像领英和Monster．com这样的公司掌握着人们大量的职业生涯信息，但是还有一个机构超过所有这些公司：联邦政府。尽管政府的人力资源数据既丰富又全面，但却用红胶带封存，以行话隐匿，难以利用。
(62)“依靠目前的科技，我们可以为技术领域建立开放数据体系做更多的事情”，第一位白宫首席技术官和以阿灵顿为基地的初创公司汉驰分析的创始人安尼什·乔布拉说道。在其任职期间，乔布拉的任务就包括了让囊分析师，他们的关注点一直在人力市场上。
根据白宫的信息，强劲的经济复苏与偏低的工资水平强化了将美国人与高薪技术岗位相连接的需求。上周发布的总统新动议背后的理论基础正是要通过与当地社区的合作，培训和雇用美国人，以填补超过50万信息技术岗位的空缺。
“识别当今经济所需的全部技能并没有一个标准的、实时的和现代的办法。(63)劳务与人才规划者们肩负着令人生畏的任务，他们要确保可以拥有‘随时准备着的’人力资源。所以，他们得到的数据越多，就越能获得更多的信息”。参与此项目的人力资源软件公司工作日的高级产品副总裁雷格娜·菜文斯勒说道。
最接近全国标准数据库的是劳工部的行业信息网站，也被称之为0*Net。该网站建于20世纪90年代，囊括了超过900个行业的数据，包括工作技能细节、平均工资以及各州求职搜索引擎。(64一1)然而，尽管这个网站不断更新，但在乔布拉和莱文斯勒看来，它仍然赶不上瞬息万变的人才市场的步伐。
促使O*Net现代化的推动力来自于这个团队的下一个重大举措。2016年总统预算提案包括要求斥资500万美元以满足研究和测试O*Net“现代化以及数据收集潜在简单化”方法的需要。(64—2)这一举措旨在提供“行业与技能，特别是高增长和持续变化行业的实时信息覆盖。”乔布拉上个月召集了一个政府官员、学术界和私有企业执行官们的圆粟会议，讨论改进O*Net的措施。工作日和领英等公司对于这一举措也十分感兴趣，不过该举措尚处在概念阶段，乔布拉说。
对于像乔布拉这样支持公开数据的支持者而言，现在确实是利用信息的力量服务经济的最佳时期。他说，(65)“任何一个公司，无论他们有多么了不起，也没有能力让美国的每一个雁主开放他们的技术数据发布到求职信息网上。政府有能力将这些利益相关者聚集起来以开放数据。”
由题干中的company database和federal government定位到第二段首句：Companies suchas LinkedIn and Monster．coin hold vast amounts of information on people’s professional fives，butthere is one organization that surpasses them all：the federal government．
详解：事实细节题。第二段首句明确指出，像领英和Monster．com这样的公司掌握着人们大量的职业生涯信息，但是还有一个机构超过所有这些公司：联邦政府。可见，公司数据库是在丰富性方面不及联邦政府数据库，故答案为A.。B.“可及性”，这一点在第二段第二句提到过，但作者指出，恰恰是在可及性方面联邦政府数据库不及公司数据库，故排除；C.“完整性”，作者虽然在该段中提到了政府数据库的完整性，但并没有在这方面将两种数据库加以比较，故排除；D.“权威性”，文中没有提及这一点，故排除。
