A.frequentlydevelopinnewareasB.alwaysstaypureandpowerful

【答案】D

【解析】推理判斷題。由第一段“1amcertainthattheabilitytoconnectwithandrelatetoothers-empathyinits

purestform-istheforcethatmovesbusinessesfbrward.”可知，與他人聯(lián)系和交流的能力共情

最純粹的形式——是推動(dòng)企業(yè)向前發(fā)展的力量。所以判斷出如果一個(gè)公司要獲得成功，它必須為

其它人著想。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

62.Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethat.

A.empathygenerallydependsonlogicalreasons

B.supportsfromothershelptoachieveambitions

towardourgoals”可知，我們每個(gè)人都需要他人的支持，才能取得積極的成果,推動(dòng)我們實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。

所以判斷出，他人的支持有助于實(shí)現(xiàn)抱負(fù)。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

anorganismiscausedbythechangeofarelatedobject.Businesssuccessdependsonempathetic

leaderswhoareabletoadapt,buildonthestrengthsaroundthem,andrelatetotheirenvironment.“可

知，一個(gè)被稱為共同進(jìn)化的生物學(xué)原理解釋了生物體的適應(yīng)是由相關(guān)物體的變化引起的。成功取

決于富有同情心的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，他們能夠適應(yīng)環(huán)境，利用周圍的優(yōu)勢(shì)，并與周圍的環(huán)境相聯(lián)系。所以判

斷出C選項(xiàng)“校長(zhǎng)承諾在學(xué)校遷往農(nóng)村后靈活安排工作時(shí)間”能最好地說明共同進(jìn)化原理。故C

選項(xiàng)正確。

以整個(gè)短文都在闡述共情策略和企業(yè)成功之間的關(guān)系。故判斷出短文最佳的標(biāo)題為“共情策略與

企業(yè)成功”。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
