阅读理解：根据文章内容，判断正误。
Jack Welch Leading Organizational Change at GE
When Jack Welch, the Chairman and CEO at General Electric (GE) retired in 2001, he could look back at a very successful career. He became CEO in 1981 at the age of 45. At that time, GE had a very complex organizational structure with considerably bureaucratic rules.
One of his first changes was to initiate a strategy formulation process with the guideline that each of the businesses should be number 1 or 2 in their respective areas. If this was not the case, managers had the options of fixing the problem, selling their particular business, or closing it. In an effort to streamline the organization, Welch removed the sector level and eliminated thousands of salaried and hourly employee positions.
The restructuring was followed by changing the organizational culture and the managerial styles of GE"s managers. One such program was the Work-Out（群策群力）.Groups of managers were assembled to share their views openly in three-day sessions. At the beginning of the meetings, the superior presented the challenges for his or her organizational unit. Then the superior had to leave, requesting the groups to find solutions to the problems. Facilitators (会议主持人) helped these discussions. On the last day, the superior was presented with proposed solutions. He or she then had three choices: to accept the proposal, not to accept it, or to collect more information. This process put great pressure on the superior to make decisions.
Another program to improve effectiveness and efficiency was Best Practices. The aim was to learn from other companies how they obtained customer satisfaction, how they related to their suppliers, and in what ways they developed new products. This helped the GE people to focus on the processes in their operations that would improve the company"s performance.
Jack Welch was personally involved in developing managers at GE"s training center in Crotonville. Leaders, Welch suggested, are not only those who achieve results but also those who share the values of the company.
正确选T，错误选F。
1. Jack Welch retired at the age of 65. T
2. Jack Welch insisted that each of the businesses should be at least number 3 in their respective area. F
3. If the business could not meet Welch"s change requirements, its manager had 3choices. T
4. The restructuring went before changing the organizational culture and the managerial styles of GE"s managers. T
5. The Work Out lasted a week. F
解析：
1. 这是一道简单计算题。从第一段可知，Jack Welch1981年45岁时担任CEO,时隔20年于2001年退休，退休时应是45 20=65岁，所以选T。
2. 这是一道细节题。从原文第二段可知：Jack Welch坚持认为，每个企业应该在各自相关领域至少名列第一或第二，与题干“第三”的意思相悖，所以选F。
3. 这是一道细节题。该题题意是：如果企业达不到Welch的改革要求，企业经理有三个选择，与原文中第二段中的the options of fixing the problem, selling their particular business, or closing it的意思相符合，所以选T。
4. 这是一道细节题。该题题意是：先进行重组然后再进行企业文化和经理作风的改革，与原文第三段第一句The restructuring was followed by changing the organizational culture and the managerial styles of GE"s managers.的意思相符，所以选T。
5. 这是一道细节题。该题题意是：经理们有一周的时间集思广益，与文章第三段的“三天”in three-day sessions.的意思不相符合，所以选F。
试题 22
完型填空, 选择正确的词汇。
What is museum? A museum is a good place to keep old and beautiful things. A museum may be a place to learn about science. A museum can be a place ( about ) art of Indians or animals. What is inside a museum? Some museums have old cars and airplanes. Many museums have pictures and statues （雕像）. Others have rocks and old bones. One museum even has
( a ) coal mine inside! Many cities have museums. Some very small ( towns ) have museums, too. Indianapolis has a ( children’s) museum. Children do not have to pay to get in. Children go to the museum often. They like to look at the dinosaur bones. They see a white bear ten feet tall. They go inside an old log cabin （小木屋）. On Saturday, Indianapolis children can (hear)
talks about animals and trees. They see movies.
解析：
1. 从前后句意关系看，此处要表述的是“关于印第安人的艺术及动物”这样的含义。about表示“关于、涉及”，on也可以理解为“关于”，但更贴切的含义是“就…而论”或“论及…”。所以答案是about。
2. 因为本句的主语是泛指性的one museum，后边提及的东西也属于泛指性质的可数名词，且coal mine是第一次提及，所以用a这个不定冠词才符合语法要求。因此答案是a。
3. 因为前一句刚提到过cities， 与其相对应的应该是小城镇，而从常识上讲，住家一般不可能有博物馆。而C选项提到国家，范围又太宽泛，通常国家不分大小，一般都会有博物馆的，所以不能用做对照。特别是下一句提到了印第安纳波利斯这样的小地方，更说明该空应该指“towns”。所以答案是towns。
4. 本题考核的是用child这个词来修饰后边的museum一词时的用法。由于博物馆是对公众的，所以不可能用单数的child，同时博物馆是专为孩子们开设的，因此含有一种“孩子们的”这样的所有关系，这样就需要用带有所有关系的children"s。因此答案是children"s。
5. listen是不及物动词，后面不能直接用名词作宾语，所以可以排除选项A；情态动词can后只能跟动词原词，所以排除选项B；本句的意思是“能听到”，符合句义。所以答案是hear。
