  • 第13题:

    (b) Explain what is meant by McGregor’s

    (i) Theory X; (5 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) Douglas McGregor has suggested that the managers’ view of the individuals’ attitude to work can be divided into two categories, which he called Theory X and Theory Y. The style. of management adopted will stem from the view taken as to how subordinates behave. However, these two typologies are not distinct; they do in fact represent the two ends of a continuum.
    (i) Theory X is based on traditional organisational thinking. It assumes that the average person is basically indolent and has an inherent dislike of work which should be avoided at all costs. The individual lacks ambition, shuns responsibility, has no ambition and is resistant to change. This theory holds that the individual seeks only security and is driven solely by self-interest. It follows that because of this dislike of work, most have to be directed, controlled, organised or coerced. Management is based on fear and punishment and will have an exploitative or authoritarian style. This reflects the thinking of the classical school of management, based on a scientific approach, specialisation, standardisation and obedience to superiors.

    Few men,____________,can make so many inventions as Edison.

    A.if ever
    B.if at all
    C.if any
    D.if anything

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查词组辨析。这四个词组都用作插入语,常与little,few,rarely,seldom等连用,具有否定的意义。if any为省略语(=if there is/are any at all),意为“如果有的话;即使有……也”。例如本题句意为“像爱迪生那样做出这么多发明创造的人,即使有的话也不多”。 if ever“如果有过或即使有过的话”;if at all“即使……也”;if anything意为“如果说有什么不同的话,若要说,相反”等,通常表示委婉的语气或表示把握不大的看法,或用于否定结构之后表示“相反”的意思。

  • 第20题:

    单选题
    _____ all the inventions have in common is _____ they have succeeded.
    A

    That; what

    B

    What; that

    C

    That; that

    D

    What; what


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    句意:所有发明的共性是它们都成功了。all the inventions have in common不是一个完整的句子,缺少宾语,所以要用what引导作have的宾语。what等同于the thing(s) that/which。they have succeeded是一个完整的句子,succeed为不及物动词,用that引导,故为B。
