1.「答案」D

「考点解析」这是一道归纳推导题。

本题题干中的seniormanagers暗示本题的答案信息在第三段,因为第三段首句包含题干中的seniormanagers。

通过仔细阅读和理解本段中所谈到的五点,我们可推导出本题的正确选项是选项D.本题选项A、B、C所涉及的内容分别在本段的第五点、第一点和第三点提到。

考生在解题时一定要学会认真归纳和总结原文所表达的每一层含义。

2.「答案」D

「考点解析」这是一道句间关系题。

题干已将本题的答案信息圈定在第二段。

本段中的第二句是本题答案信息的最主要来源,通过阅读和理解此句,我们可推导出本题的正确选项是D.考生在解题时一定要适当理解上下句之间的关系。

3.「答案」C

「考点解析」本题是一道审题定位题。

题干中的whousesintuitiontoreachdecisions暗示本题的答案信息在第四段,因为第四段首句含有和题干中whousesintuitiontoreachdecisions大致相同的theintuitivestyleofexecutivemanagement。

通过仔细阅读和理解第四段的每一句话,我们可发现第四段的第一句话都在强调act（行动）,可见本题的正确选项应该是强调行动的选项C.本题的答案信息来源是第四段的第二句话。

考生在解题时一定要首先准确地审题定位,然后要善于归纳和理解原文中的中心主旨信息。

4.「答案」D

「考点解析」本题是一道审题定位题。

题干中并没有明确指出本题答案信息在原文的准确位置。

在这种情况下,考生往往迷失解题思路。

在考生迷失解题思路时一定要牢记全文中心主旨,并且抓住各段的核心句。

本文的中心主旨句在第一段的尾句。

如果考生能够抓住第一段的尾句,并结合第三段的第四、五句,就可以推导出本题的正确选项应该是D.考生在解题时,尤其是在迷失解题思路时,一定要首先抓全文的中心主旨句,同时还要抓一些明确表示启承转合关系的句子结构。

5.「答案」B

「考点解析」本题是一道段落结构题。

第一句话中的donot和第二句句首的rather是破解本题的关键。

抓住这两个关键就可以推导出本题的正确选项应该是B.考生在解题时一定要注意表示否定的词语以及表示启承转合的词语,更要注意句子之间的相互关系。
