【評(píng)析】
這篇閱讀理解的主題是講商務(wù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能，關(guān)鍵詞兩個(gè)：leadership和business�？忌�要理解這篇文章，就需要抓住這兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞，并且認(rèn)真領(lǐng)會(huì)作者所闡述的這二者之間的關(guān)系。

開篇第一句即指出領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能在當(dāng)今競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的重要地位，是排名第二的重要詞匯，并指出原因。隨后進(jìn)一步指出，研究領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能的專家們會(huì)毫不猶豫地指出“做事情的方式”影響結(jié)果的成功與否，并且暗示著做事方式的對(duì)與錯(cuò)。最后，作者引用了曾經(jīng)是一位出色管理人Peter
Drucker總結(jié)的一句話：管理是將事情做對(duì)，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)是做對(duì)的事情。意即在Peter
Drucker看來(lái)，優(yōu)秀的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人需要擅長(zhǎng)做對(duì)的事情。以上都是先前存在的對(duì)商務(wù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能的一些看法。

隨后第二段，作者就將話題一轉(zhuǎn) ，指出Stephen Covey在其暢銷書中提出的觀點(diǎn)開始引起人們反思先前對(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能的理解。Stephen
Covey指出先前的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能都是以人的性格和個(gè)性為中心，而他則倡導(dǎo)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人必須了解實(shí)現(xiàn)高效的普遍原則，并且強(qiáng)調(diào)了領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人要想在工作中有杰出表現(xiàn)，先實(shí)現(xiàn)良好的自我管理是至關(guān)重要的。在此基礎(chǔ)上，作者水到渠成地指出，要達(dá)到業(yè)務(wù)目標(biāo)，必須要對(duì)自己的目標(biāo)和重視的東西有清楚的認(rèn)識(shí)。最后，作者總結(jié)出，商務(wù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能就是要將首要的事情放在首要位置，這就暗示著在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)他人之前，你要先對(duì)自己的價(jià)值觀、能力和優(yōu)勢(shì)有清楚的認(rèn)識(shí)，并且要讓自己在別人看來(lái)是值得信任的。換句話說(shuō)，優(yōu)秀的商務(wù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)要十分了解自己，并且要能贏得他人的信任。

本文選自國(guó)外網(wǎng)站www.slate.com上面的一篇文章，主標(biāo)題為“Trade Is the New
Plastics”，副標(biāo)題為Young Americans need to learn to sell and buy overseas.
講的是關(guān)于美國(guó)貿(mào)易方面的問(wèn)題，屬于閱讀題�？嫉慕�(jīng)濟(jì)方面的話題范圍。
從難度上來(lái)講，本文不算是一篇很難的閱讀題，涉及到的陌生詞和比較偏的單詞并不是太多。但是考生在做題的時(shí)候，還是要保持謹(jǐn)慎。
在答題的時(shí)候，大家還是按照以往的做題方式，先通過(guò)題目中的關(guān)鍵詞到原文中定位。在定位的時(shí)候，可以略讀，但要抓住重要信息點(diǎn)。此外，but等轉(zhuǎn)折詞之后會(huì)是經(jīng)�？嫉降目键c(diǎn)，因此，53題則通過(guò)“But
there's another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the
figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession。。。but
an economic expansion.”這一句的信息點(diǎn)選出答案。
54題則定位到“The rising tide of trade is also
good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those
that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price—agricultural
goods, mining, metals, oil.”
55題，考生要特別注意，不可因?yàn)椤癘ne great challenge for the
U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer
demand.”這一句中有slack一詞，就錯(cuò)誤的選擇了D。其實(shí)正確答案是C選項(xiàng)。
56.題考查作者的建議，主要是擴(kuò)大市場(chǎng)份額。因此答案選B。

這是一篇議論文。文章開頭就提供了一個(gè)背景，即英國(guó)的大學(xué)在將知識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)化成產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的能力方面不斷的遭受著批評(píng)。第二段提到了UK
National Stem Cell Network，即英國(guó)國(guó)家干細(xì)胞網(wǎng)絡(luò)，發(fā)出了這樣的警告：如果沒有資金和立法支持的話，英國(guó)將在干細(xì)胞研究方面失去領(lǐng)軍地位。
第三段，作者針對(duì)這個(gè)批評(píng)，提出了相反的看法，并以最近的一個(gè)研究數(shù)據(jù)作支撐：對(duì)比澳洲，加拿大，美國(guó)和英國(guó)的高校及研究所，英國(guó)在商業(yè)化活動(dòng)的指標(biāo)上還是處于地位的。第四段作者從國(guó)家政策層面來(lái)分析，認(rèn)為過(guò)去十年的政策介入也對(duì)英國(guó)大學(xué)的表現(xiàn)產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。第五段講述，研究資金的偏態(tài)分布不僅僅是英國(guó)獨(dú)有的，其他經(jīng)濟(jì)體也存在這樣的問(wèn)題。在英國(guó)，不到25%的大學(xué)卻擁有75%的研究資金。但同時(shí)，這些大學(xué)也是培養(yǎng)博士生最多的，產(chǎn)生的科學(xué)著作、專利和授權(quán)收入最多的機(jī)構(gòu)�？梢姡�這種將資源集中的政策造就了研究型和商業(yè)型相結(jié)合的優(yōu)秀的大學(xué)。第六段，作者提到這些研究型高校的核心目標(biāo)就是將研究成果利益化。接著在第七、八兩段里，講述了這些高校能夠?yàn)橛��?guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的復(fù)蘇做些什么，即加快技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)換和研究院教育水平。
