Passage 4
I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China,every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It’s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.
76. Why does the author feel disappointed at his students? A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service. B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains. C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic. D. Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness.

专业英语预测试卷一
参考答案
I. 答案及解析 1.【解析】选[B]。近义辨析题。所填词与potery形成语义场同现,选项[B]realm除了有王国的意思外,还有领域,范围的意思,尤指活动或研究的领域,realm of poety表示诗歌领域,符合句意,所以[B]是答案。
【题意】这位年轻的诗人正在诗歌领域得到认可。 2. 【解析】选[D]。考查非限制性定语从句。题干中,逗号前面是一个完整的独立分句,逗号后面又有谓语动词的出现,且缺乏能够作为引导词的逻辑主语,并且没有连词连接两个分句,由此可以判断后面的分句只能是一个非限制性的定语从句,再根据result和survey两者的关系,具有从属关系,介词of属于所属的范围,所以正确答案应该是选项[D] 3. 【解析】选[B]。考查限制性定语从句中关系代词做宾语时省略的用法。从句子结构来看空白处应为限制性定语从句。在这句话中,先行词是cities,并在定语从句中充当visit的宾语,关系代词that 可以省略。
【题意】我从来没去过罗马,但它是我想去的美丽的城市之一。 4. 【解析】选[B]。考查限制性定语从句中先行词和关联词的用法。通读全句,意思为“我的小弟弟们对我的故事书里读到的内容非常感兴趣”。在本题中,空白处不仅仅缺少关系代词,而且也缺少先行词。All做先行词时,不能用which,故选择[B]all that。
【题意】我的小弟弟们对我在故事书里读到的所有内容都非常感兴趣。 5. 【解析】选[D]。考查原因状语从句的语法。前后两个分句构成因果关系,故选择[D]
【题意】既然所有的资料都准备好了,我们应该立刻开始这项新的任务。 6. 【解析】选[C]。考查时间状语从句中连词的用法。在这句话中,空白处要填的意思应该是“就在那时”,能表达这个意思的只有[C]when。不够熟悉,该结构的意思是“某人正在...,这时...”。其他三个选项均不具备这样的用法。再如,The students were talking loudly to each other in the classroom when the teacher came in。 7. 【解析】选[D]。考查让步状语从句的用法。针对状语从句的考题,需要仔细分析句子之间在结构以及意义上的关系。根据句子的意思,前句讲的是“人们记住他主要是因为他发明了电话”,后句是“亚历山大.贝尔毕生致力于帮助聋人”,意义上是转折关系,故选择[D] 【题意】尽管亚历山大.贝尔主要是因为发明了电话而被世人铭记,但是他一生都致力于帮助失聪的人。 8. 【解析】选[B]。考查such....that和so...that用法的区别。Such...that“如此这样...以至于”和so...that“如此...以至于”都是用来引导结果状语从句,根据修饰的中心词为不可数名词weather,故选[B]
【题意】昨天天气很温和,因此我们去海边。 9. 【解析】选[A]。考查条件状语从句的用法。本题的考点主要测试词组if only 引导的条件状语从句。选项[A]if only的意思是“若.........那该多好啊,真希望...,只要”,例:If only I know “要是我知道该多好!“,符合题意。
【题意】我确信只要他多加注意,他就能通过这次考试。 10. 【解析】选[A]。考查让步状语从句的用法。本题的考点是考查由however引导的让步状语从句。这里however= no matter how ,其后跟形容词或副词,此外句中的固定搭配have an effect on ....的意思是“对.....有影响”
【题意】不管葡萄酒看起来多么温和,它对饮酒的人总会产生影响。 11. 【解析】选[C]。考查在It is (high,about)time that 句型中,虚拟语气的用法。其中that 可以省略,这个句型的意思是“该做.....的时候了”,有催促的意味。关键在于it is (high,about)time that从句中的虚拟语

气用一般过去时,故选[C]
【题意】外面黑了,难道你不认为我们现在该回家了吗? 12. 【解析】选[A]。考查wish引导的宾语从句中的虚拟语气的用法。在本句中,后一句的时态(一般过去时)表明了这是过去发生的事情,动词wish是对过去发生的事情进行虚拟。当wish表示对过去的事实表示一种不可能实现的愿望时,宾语从句中的谓语用Had+过去分词,也可以用could /would+have+过去分词,所以选[A]
【题意】我真希望我没有设法修理那辆自行车,我只是把事情变得更糟了。 13. 【解析】选[D]。考查wish 引导宾语从句的虚拟语气用法。后面一句的时态(一般现推断出,该句表达对现在和未来的期望。当wish表达对现在和未来的期望时,它所引起的宾语从句的谓语:系动词一律用were,行为动词可以用过去式,或者有would/could/might+动词原形,所以正确答案为D 【题意】我希望约翰能起早点,他现在每天上学都迟到。 14.【解析】选[A]。考查现在分词作表语的用法。 【题意】他对这个问题的反应非常令人失望。 15. 【解析】选[C]。考查不定式的用法。本题中的动词fail与动词不定式连用时的意思是“没能,不做,忘记,疏忽”,从选项以及句子的意义看,[C]符合句意。
【题意】令我感到非常失望的是那个学生虽然下了功夫,但是没有通过托福考试。 16. 【解析】选[A]。本题的考点是考查词组be supposed to 的用法,该短语的意思是“估计,应该”,其后接动词不定式。在动词不定式中,动词的动作如果发生在主句动词之前应采用不定式的完成式,即to have done .此外,leave for是“去往”的意思。 【题意】我的弟弟估计上周已经去法国了。 17. 【解析】选[B]。考查独立主格做介词宾语的用法。
【题意】这个可怜的妇人在街上满无目的地走着,臂弯里抱着一个熟睡的婴儿。 18. 【解析】选[D]。考查独立主格作介词宾语的用法。
【题意】他们将一台机器放入地下来探测金子以及其他珍贵的金属。 19. 【解析】选[C]。独立主格做介词宾语的用法。
【题意】一到那天,很多人就聚集在纪念碑下庆祝。 20.【解析】选[B]。逻辑关系题。所填词与nonhuman organ形成语义场同现,选项[B]foreign “自外部的,外来的”,符合句意,所以[B]为答案。 21.【答案】B
