But what may not be so familiar will be the increasing number of women who are looking ac
17、tively for advancement of for a new job in your offices. This woman may be equipped with professional skills and perhaps valuable experience, she will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr. Seldom Seen of the Assistant Vice Presidents Girl Friday, who is the only one who comes in on Saturda
18、y. She is the symbol of what I call the Second Wave of Feminism. She is the modern woman who is determined to be. Her forerunner was the radical feminist who interpreted her trapped position as a female as oppression by the master class of men. Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role
19、 for women in order that men could have the career and the opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of society. Thus the radical feminist held that women through history had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children. S
20、ometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life. The radical feminists found strength in banding together. Coming to recognize each other for the first time, they could explore their own identities, realize their own power,
21、and view the male and his system as the common enemy. The first phases of feminism in the last five years often took on this militant, class-warfare tone. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persistence that aroused and intrigued many of th
22、e brightest and most able women in the country. Consciousness-raising groups allowed women to explore both their identities and their dreams and the two were often found in direct conflict. What is the stereotyped role of American women? Marriage. A son. Two daughters. Breakfast. Ironing. Lunch. Bow
23、ling, maybe a garden club of for the very daring, non-credit courses in ceramics. Perhaps an occasional cocktail party. Dinner. Football or baseball on TV. Each day the same. Never any growth in expectations unless it is growth because the husband has succeeded. The inevitable question: “Is that all
24、 there is to life?“ The rapid growth of many feminist organizations attests to the fact that these radical feminists had touched some vital nerves. The magazine “Ms. “ was born in the year of the death of the magazine “Life. “ But too often the consciousness-raising sessions became ends in themselve
25、s. Too often sexism reversed itself and man-hating was encouraged. Many had been with the male chauvinist. It is not difficult, therefore, to detect a trend toward moderation. Consciousness-raising increasingly is regarded as a means to independence and fulfillment, rather than a ceremony of fulfill
26、ment itself. Genuine independence can be realized through competence, through finding a career, through the use of education. Remember that for many decades the education of women was not supposed to be useful. 31 What was the main idea of this passage? （ A） The Second Wave of Feminist. （ B） Womens
27、Independent Spirits. （ C） The Unity of Women. （ D） The Action of Union. 32 What was the authors attitude toward the radical? （ A） He supported it wholeheartedly. （ B） He opposed it strongly. （ C） He disapproved to some extent. （ D） He ignored it completely. 33 What does the word “militant“ mean? （ A
28、） Aggressive. （ B） Ambitions. （ C） Progressive. （ D） Independent. 34 What was the radical feminists view point about the male? （ A） Women were exploited by the male. （ B） Women were independent of the male. （ C） Womens lives were deprived by the male. （ D） The male were their common enemy. 35 What i
29、s the role of the American women according to the fourth paragraph? （ A） The traditional role. （ B） The stable role. （ C） The ambitious role. （ D） The exaggerated role. 35 The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessi
30、ng the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed “intuition“ to manage a network of interrelated pro
31、blems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise; and to integrate action into the process of thinking. Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor g
32、rasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness. Isenbergs recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five d
33、istinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third fun
34、ction of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an “Aha!“ experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and
35、tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to(违反 , 背道而驰 )their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to enge
36、nder a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns. One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that “ thinking“ is inseparable from acting. Since managers often “know“ what
37、 is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but b
38、y acting and analyzing in close concert. Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more about an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue.
39、 One implication of thinking/ acting cycles is that action is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementing the solution. 36 Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the passage? （ A） An assertion is made and a specific supporting example is giv
40、en. （ B） A conventional model is dismissed and an alternative introduced. （ C） The results of recent research are introduced and summarized （ D） Two opposing points of view are presented and evaluated. 37 The passage suggests which of the following about the “writers on management“ mentioned in line
41、 1, paragraph 2? （ A） They have criticized managers for not following the classical rational model of decision analysis. （ B） They have not based their analyses on a sufficiently large sample of actual managers. （ C） They have relied in drawing their conclusions on what managers say rather than on w
42、hat managers do. （ D） They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions. 38 According to the passage, senior managers use intuition in all of the following ways EXCEPT to_. （ A） speed up of the creation of a solution to a problem （ B） identify a problem （ C） bring toget
43、her disparate facts （ D） stipulate clear goals 39 It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following would most probably be one major difference in behavior between Manager X, who uses intuition to reach decisions, and Manager Y, who uses only formal decision analysis? （ A） Manager X an
44、alyzes first and then acts; Manager Y does not. （ B） Manager X checks possible solutions to a problem by systematic analysis; Manager Y does not. （ C） Manager X takes action in order to arrive at the solution to a problem; Manager Y does not. （ D） Manager Y draws on years of hands-on experience in c
45、reating a solution to a problem; Manager X does not. 40 The passage provides support for which of the following statements? （ A） Managers who rely on intuition are more successful than those who rely on formal decision analysis. （ B） Managers cannot justify their intuitive decisions. （ C） Managers i
46、ntuition works contrary to their rational and analytical skills. （ D） Intuition enables managers to employ their practical experience more efficiently. 40 In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scien
47、tists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion. A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict
48、 events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may
49、 be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected. Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said; “ Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of
