5.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(餐飲) 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.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇教育類夾敘夾議文章,講述了作者通過教學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)教育存在的問題-有了豐富的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境,及新的學(xué)習(xí)方法,才能有創(chuàng)造性的研究氛圍.
解答 68.D.判斷推理題.根據(jù)文章第二段"Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy,better than inventing and creating";可知學(xué)生結(jié)合知識(shí)和批判性思維解決問題不被認(rèn)為是缺乏創(chuàng)作;故選D.
69.C.詞義猜測(cè)題.第五段的第2句"this new government program"中this 指代前面的"thousand-talent scheme",而scheme和 program為同義詞,C中project 為program同義詞;故選C.
70.B.推理判斷題.文中沒有直接表達(dá)出來,根據(jù)最后一句得出,"even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this."中this 指的是China's learning environment存在的問題即problem,也是指It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness這個(gè)問題;故選B.
71.A.主旨判斷題.從整體和最后一段判斷,整篇文章是講關(guān)于教育出現(xiàn)的問題-有了豐富的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境,及新的學(xué)習(xí)方法,才能有創(chuàng)造性的研究氛圍;故選A.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
