相关段落: Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness. Isenberg’s recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that (20) managers’ intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This (25) intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an (30) “Aha!” experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods (35) for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a (40) plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns. 99. Which of the following best exemplifies “an ‘Aha!’ experience” (lines 29-30) as it is presented in the passage? (A) A manager risks taking an action whose outcome is unpredictable to discover whether the action changes the problem at hand. (B) A manager performs well-learned and familiar behavior patterns in creative and uncharacteristic ways to solve a problem. (C) A manager suddenly connects seemingly unrelated facts and experiences to create a pattern relevant to the problem at hand. (D) A manager rapidly identifies the methodology used to compile data yielded by systematic analysis. (E) A manager swiftly decides which of several sets of tactics to implement in order to deal with the contingencies suggested by a problem. 红线部分出现了data、practice,并未出现fact、experience,而且pattern出现在second function里,所以我排除了c。D中出现了data而且个人感觉文中也没有明显的提出Aha的结果是pattern还是methodology所以就选了D。 OG对c、d的解释是这样的: C Correct. Through an intuitive appreciation of the subtle interrelationships of disparate facts and experiences, the manager all at once perceives the coherent overarching pattern or picture formed by the interconnections, which lines 28-29 define as the “Aha!” experience. D Lines 31-35 show that managers do possess this ability, but it does not culminate in an “Aha!” experience. 各位帮我解解惑,实在想不通了。 |
