单选题1.【C1】
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】推理判断题。本题主语缺失，看起来毫无头绪，但是分析一下下句：Culture expresses goals…和本句正好是完全一样的结构，再加上第一句就提到了本段重点讲述的两个方面：Strategy and culture…，因此答案呼之欲出，应该选择[B]。
单选题2.【C2】
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】语义分析题。可以根据语义分析应该选择哪一个介词。这个空的前面也有提示，这里与前面的短语expresses goals through values是并列关系，因此这里应该选择的介词也是through，其他介词也不能与guide搭配，且意思不当，因此应该选择[C]。
【答案解析】推理判断题。分析文章的结构，从一开始就讲了两个部分，第一个是strategy，第二是culture。从这句话开始，讲到了第二点culture。而作者在第一段第一句就提到了Strategy and culture are among the primary levers at top leaders’disposal…，而且此空之前也没有哪里对strategy有别的定义。因此这里提到的Culture，however，is a more elusive______就应该选择lever，即[A]。
