Question

【題目】Team Building

Almost no one can get away from “teams” that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:

【1】

There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realize the value and significance of their functions. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive.

Open Communication

【2】 For example, they may discuss a sensitive topic. Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? In the case, any individual voice is by no means a sure thing. So an honest discussion is expected to make sure all the members agree on.

Respect to All Team Members

It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. 【3】 People that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.

Conflict Solving

Disagreements are natural and, in fact, heated debate should be encouraged. 【4】 Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a dispute that involves only two people, so “under-the-table” method may be effective.

Leadership

【5】 A good organizer should be able to play to individuals’ strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. He must be skilled in motivating people, sharing responsibility and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. Successful team working is marked by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.

A.Measuring Progress against Goals.

B.Common Goals with Challenging Target.

C.Most high-performing teams are well organized.

D.This is not only discouraging, it also makes no sense.

E.A team made up only of “yes men” can make disastrous decisions.

F.Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths.

G.Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了充分發(fā)揮團(tuán)隊(duì)潛力之前需要采取的一些措施。

【1】

該段提到：團(tuán)隊(duì)的存在必須有明確的理由。所有成員都應(yīng)該認(rèn)識到其功能的價(jià)值和意義。他們希望實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)應(yīng)該是可以實(shí)現(xiàn)的，但同時(shí)要足夠艱苦和鼓舞人心，以吸引成員，讓他們保持動(dòng)力。因此，該段主要提到的就是一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)要有共同的目標(biāo)，同時(shí)這些目標(biāo)還要有一定的難度，還要能鼓舞人心。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，B選項(xiàng)（共同的目標(biāo)和具有挑戰(zhàn)性的目標(biāo)）表達(dá)此意。故選B。

【2】

空后提到：例如：他們可能討論一個(gè)敏感的話題。他們應(yīng)該在團(tuán)隊(duì)中保留自己的結(jié)論，還是與其他員工分享?在這種情況下，任何個(gè)人的聲音都不是必然的。因此，需要進(jìn)行坦誠的討論，以確保所有成員都同意。結(jié)合所給例子和該段小標(biāo)題（公開的交流）可知，空處仍然要表達(dá)“鼓勵(lì)團(tuán)隊(duì)成員表達(dá)自己的看法，進(jìn)行坦誠的討論”這個(gè)意思。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，G選項(xiàng)（團(tuán)隊(duì)成員必須能夠自由地表達(dá)他們的意見，而不害怕被批評）表達(dá)此意。故選G。

【3】

空前提到：人們很容易認(rèn)為，一個(gè)資歷較淺的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員可能比經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員貢獻(xiàn)更少。而該段標(biāo)題為：尊重所有的成員。那么，空處應(yīng)該表達(dá)對空前所提想法的駁斥。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，D選項(xiàng)（這不僅令人沮喪，而且毫無意義）符合語境。故選D。

【4】

空前提到：分歧是自然的，事實(shí)上，應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)激烈的辯論�？蘸筇岬剑阂虼�，應(yīng)該有一些關(guān)于如何處理冗長的分歧的規(guī)定。該空承上啟下，E選項(xiàng)（一個(gè)僅由唯唯諾諾的人組成的團(tuán)隊(duì)可能會(huì)做出災(zāi)難性的決定）符合語境。故選E。

【5】

空后提到：一個(gè)好的組織者應(yīng)該能夠發(fā)揮個(gè)人的長處，幫助他們克服弱點(diǎn)。空處引起下文，應(yīng)該提到和“組織”有關(guān)的內(nèi)容。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，C選項(xiàng)（大多數(shù)高績效的團(tuán)隊(duì)都組織得很好）符合語境。故選C。
