GWD-1-Q33 to Q35:  (原GWD-10-Q33 -Q35旅行社业另辟蹊径走向全球化）

(This passage was excerpted from material

published in 1993.)

       Like many other industries, the

travel industry is under increasing

            pressure to expand globally in order

Line      to keep pace with its corporate cus-

  (5)      tomers, who have globalized their

operations in response to market

pressure, competitor actions, and

changing supplier relations.  But it is

difficult for service organizations to

 (10)     globalize.  Global expansion through

acquisition is usually expensive, and

expansion through internal growth is

time-consuming and sometimes

impossible in markets that are not

 (15)     actively growing.  Some service indus-

try companies, in fact, regard these

traditional routes to global expansion

as inappropriate for service industries

because of their special need to pre-

 (20)     serve local responsiveness through

            local presence and expertise.  One

            travel agency has eschewed the tra-

ditional route altogether.  A survivor

of the changes that swept the travel

 (25)     industry as a result of the deregulation

of the airlines in 1978－changes that

included dramatic growth in the cor-

porate demand for travel services,

as well as extensive restructuring and

 (30)     consolidation within the travel industry－

this agency adopted a unique structure

for globalization.  Rather than expand

            by attempting to develop its own offices

abroad, which would require the devel-

 (35)     opment of local travel management

expertise sufficient to capture foreign

markets, the company solved its

globalization dilemma effectively by

forging alliances with the best foreign

 (40)     partners it could find.  The resulting

cooperative alliance of independent

agencies now comprises 32 partners

spanning 37 countries.

这题以前的讨论帖我都看过了，算是以前ＮＮ已经琢磨蛮透了。我在这把一些定位点补上。有不明白的可以参考楼下的几个连接。整体来说这是一个比较简单的文章，较短且题目大部分是定位题。麻烦的是只有一段，所以整篇起承转合都在一起定位比较烦而且只考了三题所以读的慢的话，还是有可能超时的。

当然有时间的话，只有一段的文章最好还是读完。但是如果时间真的不够读重点句后还是可以直接做题的。尤其是放在verbal 的尾巴。(Q33-35) 有时候时间可能不够。　

文章重点在前两句已经点出，刚好是一个叙述立刻就一个观点转折。　

Like many other industries, the travel industry is under increasing pressure to expand globally in order　to keep pace with its corporate customers, who have globalized their operations in response to market pressure, competitor actions, and changing supplier relations.  But it is difficult for service organizations to globalize. 

看到这其实就可以打住了。再看整篇结论。　

The resulting cooperative alliance of independent　agencies now comprises 32 partner　spanning 37 countries.

看到这其实文章走向已经猜的出来。前面说travel agency 需要 expand globally, 再提到service organization　全球化有困难。最后又提到 international cooperative alliance. 应该可以猜到正常来说文章从第二句后会开始解释为何服务业全球化有困难，说不定会举例，再来由结论的"resulting" 可以得到之前应该是个例子。所以整篇的脉络应该是解释完为何服务业全球化有困难后，提出了因为上述所说的困难，所以改为使用alliance 的方法而不是自己去expand globally,　进而提出例子去支持，最后结论。　

虽然这样不能完全答题，但是定位来说其实应该会容易些。尤其是在没时间读完文章的情况下。
