What does it mean to compete?

27、 According to the dictionary, competition is the attempt to outdo someone else, to be (46) (good) or achieve more than someone else. Most living things, including humans, seem to have an inborn trait (47) pushes them to compete. This is probably (48) (connect) to the instinct for survival. What is c

28、ooperation, then? What does it mean to cooperate? Is cooperation of any use to humans? The dictionary tells us that cooperation is the process of working together for a common purpose or goal. That is, people are willing to work together, and they have (49) (basic) the same purpose in mind. Like com

29、petitiveness, (50) (cooperative) also seems to come at birth because all living things perform better and achieve more when (51) (work) together. Do you doubt this? Just look at a colony of ants or a flock of geese during migration. When is it good to cooperate, and when is it good to (52) ? Does th

30、e answer to this depend on the area or circumstances? For example, is competition more important in sports? Or does it depend on the specific sport, for example? In school, do students perform better in a competitive environment or in a cooperative one? Within families, is competition amongst brothe

31、rs and sisters normal and natural? Can families function without at least some cooperation? If so, how? For centuries, researchers, educators, and (53) (psychology) and philosophers have been trying to answer questions like these, but so far no one is completely sure. We dont really know (54) one is

32、 more useful or more important than the other or not. In general, humans appear to be both competitive and cooperative, but the happiest humans seem to achieve a good (55) between the two.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、Part Reading Compe(总题数：4，分数：20

33、.00)Section A Before the Consultants Arrive Management consultants are advisers hired by a company to help improve overall operations. They do not usually focus on one or two functions within the company they advise. Rather, they aim to see a bigger picture and assess the interrelationship of all. T

34、heir arrival presents both great opportunity and great risk. (56) Advance steps taken by the management of the client company play a big role in determining which it will be. The greatest value of external consultants is the perspective of a group of informed outsiders. They must be familiar with th

35、e basic standards of quality within the clients field without being immersed in the firms internal rivalries, social cliques, or unexamined corporate traditions. One possible trap (57) here would be a lack of true independence, perhaps because of personal or business relationships with someone insid

36、e the client company. A consultant who is an old college buddy of the accounting manager is not likely to fairly evaluate the accounting department. Such connections are not hard to screen for, but the screening has to be done thoroughly and out in the open before the consultants even set foot on si

37、te. Making sure the management consultants are adequately informed is a harder problem. One assumes they have the professional qualifications to do the job, but their specialized knowledge of the firm is only as good as what they discover once they begin (60) their interviews among company employees

38、. If an employee sees the management consultants as a threat, whatever he or she says is unreliable.

Full frankness, the thinking goes, could cause me to lose some of my privileges, my stature, or

39、 (at worst) my job. My solutions: manipulate the truth so I look really good. To head off such unhelpful sentiments, any company contracting with management consultants should begin talking up the enterprise at least two months in advance. The message should be, “This is an opportunity, not an inves

40、tigation. “ Convince employees that the outside review is their chance to influence the future direction of the company. Lay out in advance a set of rules for protecting the anonymity (匿名) of employees. Supervisors should not be able to link any individual to any particular point of view unless he o

41、r she wants. (58) Since distortions of the truth could also include unfair negative statements about ones “enemies“ within the firm, the system must also protect employees from complaint-bearing colleagues. Most management consultants have calibrated (校准) their data-gathering tools to weed out venge

42、ful (报复的) attacks, but the company should emphasize in advance that the consultants report will contain no references to individuals. Furthermore, the consulting team must be reminded to apply a strict standard of evidence, so that no apparent weakness in the company even shows up in the report unle
