【答案解析】[解析] 80-82 Good morning and welcome My name's Keith Prentice and I've been asked to address the conference today on the subject of teamwork. "Top management team" is a phrase we hear day in and day out, but does it have a meaning? Management executives don't work together in anything like the same way as a football team or a string quartet These are real teams-people who work together with the same goal in mind. Executive boards are far more political,with at least as much conflict as cooperation. Their decisions are the result of many arguments, intensive bargaining and often bad-tempered compromises. But they work frequently in the complete absence of team spirit. [词汇] Their decisions are the result of…他们的决定是……的结果 I've been asked to address the conference today on the subject of…今天我被要求在会议上做关于……的报告→接受了演讲请求/要求的意思 中级问题 我们可以很容易地找到本段话的主题,演讲者要说的是有关团队合作的内容。当然,从文章开头部分提到的今天演讲的主题(on the subject of teamwork)也能够找到本题的解答线索。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】中级问题 从文章的中间部分以后,听到以Executive boards are为开头的句子,就要作好在后面寻找答案的准备。因为前面谈到的都是有关董事会议的内容。如果想一听到with at least as much conflict as cooperation这样的句子就反应出它的意思,不仅要多练习听力,还要提高对于英文的理解能力。看都看不懂的内容,是不可能听得懂的。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】高级问题 题目中提示的需要特别留意的关键点是real point。文章的中间部分有一句These are real teams的判断的话,接着后面给出了进一步的说明。真正的团队是拥有相同目标的人们在一起共同努力。
