1) The hierarchy of needs is an idea associated with one man, Abraham Maslow, the most influential humanist ever to have worked in industry.It is a theory about the way in which people are motivated. 2) The theory arose out of a sense that classic economics was not giving managers much help because it failed to take into account the complexity of human motivation. Maslow divided needs into five:  · Physiological needs: hunger, thirst, sex and sleep. Food and drinks manufacturers operate to satisfy needs in this area, as do prostitutes and tobacco growers.  · Safety needs: job security, protection from harm and the avoidance of risk. At this level an individual’s thoughts turn to insurance, burglar alarms and savings deposits.  · Social needs: the affection of family and friendship. These are satisfied by such things as weddings, sophisticated restaurants and telecommunications.  · Esteem needs (also called ego needs), divided into internal needs, such as self-respect and sense of achievement, and external needs, such as status and recognition. Industries focused on this level include the sports industry and activity holidays.  · Self-actualization, famously described by Maslow: “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately happy. What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization.” Self-actualization is different from the other levels of need in at least one important respect: it is never finished, never fully satisfied. 3)It is, as Shakespeare put it, “as if increase of appetite grows by what it feeds on”.  An individual’s position in the hierarchy is constantly shifting and any single act may satisfy needs at different levels. Thus having a drink at a bar with a friend may be satisfying both a thirst and a need for friendship (levels one and three). Single industries can be aimed at satisfying needs at different levels. For example, a hotel may provide food to satisfy level one, a nearby restaurant to satisfy level three, and special weekend tours of interesting sites to satisfy level five.  The hierarchy is not absolute. It is affected by the general environment in which the individual lives. The extent to which social needs are met in the workplace, for instance, varies according to culture. 4) In Japan the corporate organization is an important source of a man’s sense of belonging (although not of a woman’s); in the West it is much less so.One of Maslow’s early disciples was a Californian company called NLS (Non-Linear Systems). In the early 1960s it dismantled its assembly line and replaced it with production teams of six or seven workers in order to increase their motivation. 5) Each team was responsible for the entire production process, and they worked in areas that they decorated according to their own taste. A host of other innovations (such as dispensing with time cards) revolutionized the company. Profits and productivity soared, but Maslow remained skeptical. He worried that his ideas were being too easily “taken as gospel truth, without any real examination of their reliability”.(此文选自The Economist 2008年刊)

参考答案和解析
正确答案:
(1)【答案】提到需求层次理论,我们便会想到迄今为止在人类学研究领域最富影响力的一个人——亚伯拉罕·马斯洛。
【解析】本句是一个单句:The hierarchy of needs is an idea associated with one man,句中one man有两个同位语,因此重点在确定句子的顺序。首先,根据中英文行文差异:英文先出最重要信息,然后才是次要信息,最后是补充信息,中文正好与之相反可知,本句主语之后首先出现的应该是man的第二个同位语,然后是第一个同位语;其次,注意industry此处不是表示“工业”,而是指“某研究领域”。
(2)【答案】古典经济学因为没能考虑到人类复杂的动机和需求,所以不能给管理者提供多少帮助,需求理论便应运而生。
【解析】本句由主句+定语从句构成,其中定语从句有状语从句,需理清句子顺序。首先,和上题一样的方法确定译句的顺序,because从句最先译出,然后是定语从句中的主句,最后是主句;其次,音译汉时,记住一定先出主语,故classic economics最先译;最后,本句the complexity of human motivation中,将抽象名词complexity根据其形容词词根译为“复杂的”,此处涉及到英译汉“偏正互换”的技巧,原文用human motivation修饰complexity,本该是“人类动机的复杂性”,但根据中文特点,则译为“复杂的人类动机”,即改变两者地位,使译文更加地道。
(3)【答案】如莎士比亚所说,在这个方面,“吃得越好,胃口也就越好”。
【解析】本句由单句+方式状语从句构成,只是状语插入到主句当中了,因此,应先确定句子顺序,重点是主句后半句的翻译。首先,次要信息as放句首,接着出主句;其次,主句中it可以用代词“不抽象不具体”的译法,即不抽象译为“它”,也不具体译为“自我实现”使译文累赘,可译为不抽象不具体的“这方面”;最后,引言中按照动作发生的先后顺序进行翻译。
(4)【答案】在日本,对于一个男人,公司是归属感的一个重要来源(虽然对于女人不是这样);而在西方,这种情况则远非如此。
【解析】本句由两个并列单句组成,翻译时注意单句之间的衔接。首先,句中的man应该用本义“男性”,这样与woman相对应;其次,第二句中it代指上一句所提到的现象,故不抽象不具体地译为“这种情况”,so 也是上句提到的情况,译成“如此”,避免重复;最后,两句之间根据内容可以判断是对比关系,用转折连词“而,但是”是文意更加流畅。
(5)【答案】每个小组都对整个生产过程负责,并且他们工作的地方是按照他们自己喜欢的风格装修的。
【解析】本句由and连接两句子构成,是并列关系,故可按原文顺序直接译,注意第二句中定语从句的翻译。

  • 第1题:

    Adam Smith, a writer in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England.

    "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform. two or three of them."

    Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.

    There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce, more of what they already have.

    According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to______.

    A.take advantage of the division of labor

    B.explain the causes of the division of labor

    C.understand the effects of the division of labor

    D.introduce the division of labor into England

    5 Your manager has heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory and how it has some relevance to motivational techniques.

    Required:

    (a) Explain Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. (10 marks)


    正确答案:

    5 The way in which managers’ duties are undertaken can significantly influence the satisfaction that employees derive from their work. Abraham Maslow suggested that individuals have a hierarchy of personal needs which are identifiable, universally applicable and can be satisfied in the workplace. Understanding this concept provides guidance to management as to the appropriateness of
    motivational techniques.
    (a) Maslow’s theory of motivation is a content theory. Its basic idea is that each individual has a set of needs which have to be
    satisfied in a set order of priority.
    Maslow suggested that individuals have five needs:
    Self-actualisation
    (or self fulfilment)
    Esteem needs
    (or ego)
    Social needs
    Safety needs
    Physiological needs
    These needs are arranged in a hierarchy of importance and movement is upwards, from physiological needs to selfactualisation.Any individual will always want more; each need must be satisfied before the next is sought. However – andcritically so far as motivation in the workplace is concerned – a satisfied need is no longer a motivator.
    The theory is usually presented in the shape of a triangle, with physiological needs at its base and self-actualisation at itsapex. The triangle shape has a clear significance. As an individual moves up toward the apex, the needs thin out, that isphysiological needs are far greater than self-actualisation needs. For many individuals, reaching social needs is often thehighest need to be satisfied. The theory is sometimes presented as a staircase; again with self-actualisation at the top. Thissecond diagrammatic form. reflects the application of the theory to more modern situations, where it can reasonably beassumed that those within the organisation have already achieved physiological and safety needs. For such individuals, socialand esteem needs may well be greater.
    Physiological needs are the basic survival needs which, although part of the theory, probably have less relevance today. Theseneeds are usually seen as food, shelter (which is sometimes noted as a safety need), warmth and clothing.
    Safety needs are the desire for security, order, certainty and predictability in life and freedom from threat. The above two so-called ‘lower order needs’ dominate until satisfied.
    Social needs are the gregarious needs of mankind, the need for friendship, relationships and affection. This is often seen as the desire to be part of a family.
    Esteem needs are the desire for recognition and respect, often associated with status, especially in the modern world.
    Self-actualisation (self fulfilment) is the ultimate goal. Once this state is achieved the individual has fulfilled personal potential.
    However, later work by Maslow has suggested that there are two additional needs; freedom of enquiry (free speech and justice) and knowledge (the need to explore and learn). These additional needs are a further development of social needs and recognise the changing nature of modern life.

    Topic 4:Talk about Virtue  Questions for reference:  1) What virtues can you name?  2) Which one do you think it the most important one?  3) What should we do in order to establish concept of honor and disgrace among people?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Talk about Virtue.
    We must uphold these core virtues including diligence, honesty, justice and responsibility. Traditionally, we Chinese admire the virtue of plain living and hard struggle. The vital importance is also placed on honesty and justice.
    In my eyes, however, responsibility tops our priority. To shoulder some heavy responsibilities, we must keep a style of plain living and hard struggle. Responsibility also means honesty and justice. Everyone must assume a set of responsibilities. For example, we college students must take the responsibility for pursuing the impressive academic performance. But an army of students plant themselves in online games, an activity which compels them to shun huge responsibilities.
    The virtue of responsibility is strongly associated with the “Eight Dos and Don’ts” moral campaign in full swing. Under this slogan, everyone must take on his/her own responsibilities and dedicate to his/her own position. Unquestionably, everyone must promote the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

  • 第14题:

    Text 4 Humor, which ought to give rise to only the most light-hearted and ** feelings, can often stir up vehemence and animosity. Evidently it is dearer to us than we realize. Men will take almost any kind of criticism except the observation that they have no sense of humour. A man will admit to being a coward or a liar or a thief or a poor mechanic or a bad swimmer, but tell him he as a dreadful sense of humour and you might as well have slandered his mother. Even if he is civilized enough to pretend to make light of your statement, he will still secretly believe that he has not only a good sense of humour but are superior to most. He has, in other words, a completely blind spot on the subject. This is all the more surprising when you consider that not one man in ten million can give you any kind of intelligent answer as to what humour is or why he laughs.

    One day when I was about twelve years old, it occurred to me to wonder about the phenomenon of laughter. At first I thought it is easy enough to see what I laugh at and why I am amused, but why at such times do I open my mouth and exhale in jerking gasps and wrinkle up my eyes and throw back my head and halloo like an animal? Why do I not instead rap four times on the top of my head or whistle or whirl about?

    That was over twenty years ago and I am still wondering, except that I now no longer even take my first assumption for granted, I no longer clearly understand why I laugh at what amuses me nor why things are amusing. I have illustrious company in my confusion, of course, Many of the great minds of history have brought their power of concentration to bear on the mystery of humour, and, to date, their conclusions are so contradictory and ephemeral that they cannot possibly be classified as scientific.

    Many definitions of the comic are incomplete and many are simply rewording of things we already know. Aristotle, for example, defined the ridiculous as that which is incongruous but represents neither **er nor pain. But that seems to me to be a most inadequate sort of observation, for of at this minute I insert here the word rutabagas, I have introduced something in congruous, something not funny. Of course, it must be admitted that Aristotle did not claim that every painless in congruity is ridiculous but as soon as we have gone as far as this admission, we begin to see that we have come to grips with a ghost when we think have it pinned, it suddenly appears behind us, mocking us.

    An all-embracing definition of humour has been attempted by many philosophers, but no definition, no formula had ever been devised that is entirely satisfactory. Aristotle's definition has come to be known loosely as the "disappointment" theory, or the "frustrated expectation", but he also, discussed another theory borrowed in part from Plato which states that the pleasure we derive in laughing is an enjoyment of the misfortune of others, due to a momentary feeling of superiority or gratified vanity in appreciation of the fact that we ourselves are not in the observed predicament.

    第36题:Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?

    [A] People don't like to be considered as one with no sense of humour.

    [B] People will give you a satisfactory answer to what humour is.

    [C] People would like to be a liar or a coward.

    [D] People can make light of other's comment on their sense of humour.


    正确答案:A
    本题的相关信息在文章第一段。作者讲到:人们可以承认自己有其他方面的缺点,但要说他的幽默感差极了,这跟诋毁他母亲一样令他痛苦。由此可见,本题的正确答案应当为A。其他几个选项的意思均与原文内容不符。

  • 第16题:

    Passage 1
    In his book The Tipping Point,Malcolm Gladwell argues that"social epidemics"are driven in?large part by the actions of a tiny minority of special individuals,often called influentials,who are?unusually informed,persuasive,or well-connected.The idea is intuitively compelling,but it doesn′t?explain how ideas actually spread.
    The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible-sounding but largely untested?theory called the"two-step flow of communication":Information flows from the media to the?influentials and from them to everyone else.Marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it?suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials,those selected people will do most of?the work for them.The theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of certain?looks,brands,or neighborhoods.In many such cases,a cursory search for causes finds that some?small group of people was wearing,promoting,or developing whatever it is before anyone else paid?attention.Anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people?can drive trends.
    In their recent work,however,some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials?have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed.In fact,they don′t seem to be?required of all.
    The researchers′argument stems from a simple observation about social influence:With the?exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey--whose outsize presence is primarily a function of?media,not interpersonal,influence--even the most influential members of a population simply don′t?interact with that many others.Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who,according to?the two-step-flow theory,are supposed to drive social epidemics,by influencing their friends and?colleagues directly.For a social epidemic to occur,however,each person so affected must then?influence his or her own acquaintances,who must in turn influence theirs,and so on;and just how?many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential.If people?in the network just two degrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant,for example,the?cascade of change won′t propagate very far or affect many people.
    Building on the basic truth about interpersonal influence,the researchers studied the dynamics?of social influence by conducting thousands of computer simulations of populations,manipulating a?number of variables relating to people′s ability to influence others and their tendency to be?influenced.They found that the principal requirement for what is called"global cascades"—the?widespread propagation of influence through networks--is the presence not of a few influentials but,rather,of a critical mass of easily influenced people.

    The underlined phrase"these people"in Paragraph 4 refers to the ones who__________.查看材料

  • 第17题:

    Text 3 In his book The Tipping Point,Malcolm Gladwell argues that social epidemics are driven in large part by the acting of a tiny minority of special individuals,often called influentials,who are unusually informed,persuasive,or well-connected.The idea is intuitively compelling,but it doesn't explain how ideas actually spread.The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible sounding but largely untested theory called the"two step flow of communication":Information flows from the media to the influentials and from them to everyone else.Marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials,those selected people will do most of the work for them.The theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of certain looks,brands,or neighborhoods.In many such cases,a cursory search for causes finds that some small group of people was wearing,promoting,or developing whatever it is before anyone else paid attention.Anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people can drive trends In their recent work,however,some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed.In fact,they don't seem to be required of all.The researchers'argument stems from a simple observing about social influence,with the exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey—whose outsize presence is primarily a function of media,not interpersonal,influence—even the most influential members of a population simply don't interact with that many others.Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who,according to the two-step-flow theory,are supposed to drive social epidemics by influencing their friends and colleagues directly.For a social epidemic to occur,however,each person so affected,must then influence his or her own acquaintances,who must in turn influence theirs,and so on;and just how many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential.If people in the network just two degrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant,for example,the cascade of change won't propagate very far or affect many people.Building on the basic truth about interpersonal influence,the researchers studied the dynamics of populations manipulating a number of variables relating of populations,manipulating a number of variables relating to people's ability to influence others and their tendency to be influenced.Our work shows that the principal requirement for what we call"global cascades"–the widespread propagation of influence through networks–is the presence not of a few influentials but,rather,of a critical mass of easily influenced people.34.The underlined phrase"these people"in paragraph 4 refers to the ones who

    根据题干,线索大致定位到第三四段,但是第三段并没有清晰的找到题解,而接下来的第四段,由该段最后一句清晰推理出了影响范围与社会互动的密切关系,影响能否传播下去,关键在于社会大众是否愿意互动,积极参与其中。A选项充分的表明了这一点。B、C、D三个选项的说法按照常识判断都可能正确,但是不是文章要阐述的内容,所以排除。【补充】本文并不是简单的考查研究人员观察到的事实,而是考查从事实中推出的结论,因此正确答案不容易直接选出,用排除法做题。

    此句意为“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件再好不过。”B项control“控制,管理”;C项contact“使接触”;D项direct“管理,指挥,导演”;而A项treat可与介词as搭配,意为“把……当做……”,与句意相符。故选A。
    考查介词。此句句意为“用一个简单的系统来收集和存储信息”,A项with “随着,支持,和…在一起”;B项by“通过,依据,经由”;D项through“通过,穿过,凭借”,C项 for“为了,为,适合于”符合句意,故选C。
    此句意为“……越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,A项track“轨道,总计,小道”;B项path“道路”;C项road“公路,马路”;D项way“方法,方向”,get in your way是固定格配,意思是“阻档你的道路”。故选D。
    get started,固定搭配,意为“开始,被启动”。故选A。
    考查情态动词的用法。此句意为“但谁知道你会发现什么呢?” C项ought 有应当之意,而D项must引导一般疑问句,表示“必须做某事”,与句意不符。此句是对未来的可能性的一种反问,所以B选项might符合句意。故选B。
