《2025年资源库高中英语人教版》

What does the phrase "In the wrong hands" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. If read by someone poorly educated.
B. If rewritten by someone ill-intentioned.
C. If written by someone less competent.
D. If translated by someone unacademic.

答案： C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的“such a book could prove as complicated to process ... but, thankfully, Campbell ... two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable”可知，有的人很难理解这种关于人工智能的书籍，他们看这种书就像看计算机代码一样，而坎贝尔有二十多年的专业经验，可以把晦涩难懂的内容转化成容易理解的内容，即坎贝尔的专业能力过硬；根据下文中的“but, thankfully”可知，前后构成转折关系，故画线短语指的是“如果是一个能力较弱的人编写这类书籍”。
