參考答案及解析

《TroublewithTeamwork》,團(tuán)隊合作的麻煩。文章講了團(tuán)隊的

重要性和許多團(tuán)隊存在的問題，以及怎么樣才能打造一個勝利有效的

團(tuán)隊。

第十三題，問文章開頭針對團(tuán)隊合作做了什么論點。第一段是強(qiáng)

調(diào)團(tuán)隊合作的重要性，太多的個人成果會顯得這個人不是個合格的團(tuán)

隊成員。選答案要理解第一句話的含義：Recruiterssaythat

candidateswhocangiveexamplesofworktheyhavedoneas

membersofasuccessfulteamareinasstrongapositionasthose

whocanpointtosignificantindividualachievement.聘請者說

能夠給出自己作為一個勝利團(tuán)隊成員的例子的候選人同那些指出重

要的個人成果的人具有同樣重要的地位。言下之意，擁有團(tuán)隊成員的

經(jīng)受也很重要。所以選D,作為一個團(tuán)隊成員如今被視為必要的管理

技巧。A、B、C都沒有提到。

第十四題，問公司內(nèi)部的團(tuán)隊合作是作為對什么的回應(yīng)。也就是

千里之行，始于足下。

問團(tuán)隊合作的目的是什么，答案是其次段的這么一句：teamsprovide

adynamicmeetingplacewhereideascanbesharedandexpertise

morecarefullytargetedatimportantbusinessissues團(tuán)隊供

應(yīng)了一個動態(tài)的會議場所，使得思想可以共享，技能可以更加認(rèn)真的

對準(zhǔn)重要的商業(yè)問題。這句里的dynamicmeetingplace可以對應(yīng)于

B段的changingworkpractice。

第十五題，問在第三段DrBandy示意什么。答案是她的一句原

話：Formingteamsandhavingmeetingshas,shesays,becomean

endinitself,almostregardlessofpurpose.形成團(tuán)隊然后開會

成了它本身的終點，幾乎不管目的是什么。也就是說許多團(tuán)隊的建立

是沒有意義的，多余的。選C,一些團(tuán)隊被不必要的創(chuàng)建了。

第十六題，問認(rèn)為團(tuán)隊合作在體育領(lǐng)域里更有效的緣由是什么。

第四段講當(dāng)一群正確的人被組合到一起時會產(chǎn)生一種高于這些人個

人力量的力氣，在體育競賽里就是如此。這一題的答案是第四段的最

終一句：fewbusinesssituationshaveasclearasetof

objectives,orasclearcriteriaofsuccessorfailure,as

winningamatch,v很少有企業(yè)能像贏得一場競賽一樣有一系列清楚

的目標(biāo)，或者是對勝利或失敗有清楚的評判準(zhǔn)則。也就是A選項所說

的：知道他們想要實現(xiàn)什么。whattheywanttoachieve可以對應(yīng)

于asetofobjectiveso

第十七題，問這兩個人同意當(dāng)一個商業(yè)團(tuán)隊被創(chuàng)立時人們沒有把
