30、hfully七、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Much has been written about the potential for management to become isolated from customers and employees. This phenomenon often occurs not just within top management, but also within middle management.Ive seen this isolation phenom

31、enon in many companies. The symptoms are quite apparent: Managers spend a great deal of time talking to themselves and studying operating numbers. They spend precious little time with customers or with employees, trying to understand the system of the business. And when they do spend time with them,

32、 they often do not probe deeply into needs, concerns, and opportunities. This phenomenon, often referred to as being “internally focused“, can be tremendously insidious (隐伏陷害的).Although the need for understanding and spending time with customers has been well documented, I find few managers spending

33、 time in the field. The benefits of doing so are clear. A visit with your counterparts at customers distribution centers, for example, not only builds relation ships that can prove useful when problems arise, but also uncovers numerous opportunities to enhance(增进，提高) your performance and deepen your

34、 companys linkage with those customers.There are many ways to connect with and understand employee perspectives(观点，看法). Some companies have found formal sessions in which senior managers solicit (恳求，请求) ideas from employees to be very useful. These can be run either as focus groups or as structured

35、discussions.Managers also should exploit every opportunity to gather organizational knowledge from employees. Some successful managers collect employees opinions by what often is referred to as “managing by walking around“ or the “10-minute cup of coffee“. They, may, for example, go to employees off

36、ices and solicit their opinions. Or at lunch or when they take a cup of coffee, they “mix with the troops“ and solicit their input.Rather than talk about the latest game, you can solicit employees ideas by asking questions like: What are you working on? Hows it going? Whats good about our organizati

37、on? What could be better? How could we better serve our customers or improve our processes? What do you think we should be doing differently?Youll be surprised at how valuable a “10-minute cup of coffee“ together with a brief conversation with an employee can be. It will make you a more effective ma

38、nager.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, the phrase “tremendously insidious“ (Par（分数：2.00）A.2) is used here to de scribe the phenomenon that _.A. managers do not make any efforts to ask for employees opinionsB. managers seldom stay with customers to get information about business operationC. man

39、agers spend much time studying the digital data of their business operationD. managers make little contact with customers or employees(2).The following are the ways to connect with and understand employees ideas EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.focus groups or structured discussionsB.managing by walking aroundC.t

40、alking and working with employeesD.asking questions about what they concern about(3).The expression “10-minute cup of coffee“ most probably means that _.（分数：2.00）A.some managers often drink a cup of coffee with employees for 10 minutesB.some managers collect employees opinion by stopping and talking

41、 with them for a short whileC.some managers buy cups of coffee for employees, trying to talk with them for 10 minutesD.some managers are very generous to share the same kind of coffee with employees(4).In this passage, the authors attitude towards “managing by walking around“ is _.（分数：2.00）A.approvi

42、ngB.questioningC.objectiveD.critical九、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Divorces in Japan have more than doubled, from just over 95 000 in 1970 to 206 955 in 1996, according to health ministry statistics. One in three Japanese marriages now ends in divorce.Atsuko Okano was in one of those failed marriages.

43、Three years ago, she found herself alone in her 30s, with children to raise and a future full of question marks and social shame. But she al so saw an opening and became a consultant helping people like herself.“My husband was cheating on me,“ she recalls. “I did everything to bring him back to me b

44、ut it didnt work, so I dumped him.“ Such frankness is a major characteristic of Japans recently divorced and a striking break with the past.Divorced people particularly womenhave long been looked down upon in Japan, where self-sacrifice and family stability are regarded ms ideals. In the past, bored

45、 housewives remained bored. Philandering(逢场作戏) husbands philandered without being blamed. The security of the family unit was the most important thing. Now, young Japanese are increasingly choosing satisfaction in life over the demands of tradition, and more women are financially independent. As a r

46、esult, Japanese divorce rates are flying. Experts attribute this to the erosion of a long-standing double standard that granted divorced men respectability, but branded(打标记) divorced women as damaged goods.Over the past decade, growing numbers of highly educated and successful professional women hav

47、e challenged that assumption by turning their backs on unhappy marriages and disregarding the taboo(禁忌) of divorce. The majority of divorce proceedings now are initiated by women.（分数：8.00）(1).This passage mainly talks about the fact that, nowadays, Japanese women _.（分数：2.00）A.are granted respectabil

48、ity after they get divorcedB.are becoming brave enough to challenge the taboo of divorceC.still regard the security of the family unit as very importantD.are becoming more financially independent(2).It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that Atsuko Okano _.（分数：2.00）A.had some children to raiseB.was ve

49、ry confident with her futureC.was not greatly respected by Japanese societyD.might have found a job to help divorced people(3).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the rising rate of Japanese divorces?（分数：2.00）A.Self-sacrifice and family stability are not much appreciated in Japan as before.B.More women can support themselves financially.C.Divorced men
