As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one,office designers have come up with (42)alternativesto the traditional work environments of the past.The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible"strategic management environments."These (43)innovative solutions are to meant to support better organizational performances.
As employee hierarchies (等级制度) have flattened or decreased,office designers‘response to this change has been to move open-plain areas to more desirable locations within the office,and create fewer formal private offices.The need for increased flexibility has also been (44)confirmedby changes in work station design.Offices and work spaces often are not (45)assignedto a given person on a permanent basis because of changes to method of working,new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks,storage,and equipment within the workstation.Another important design goal is communication,which designers have improved by lowering the walls that (46)separate workstations.Designers have also created informal gathering places,and upgraded employees'(47)access to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often (48)conflictingdemands,including budgetary limits,employee hierarchies,and technological innovation(especially in relation to computerization).These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors(内饰) that in some way enhance,establish,or promote a company‘s image and will enable employees to (49)functionat their best.All these (50)elementsof office design are related.The most successful office designs are like a good marriage--the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.
分析 本文是一篇说明文,用词偏向商务主题是"办公室设计与员工工作表现的相关联系".被精心设计的办公室能树立公司良好的形象,提高员工工作效率,给他人留下好印象留住潜在顾客.新的办公室设计立足创造战略管理环境,在办公室内创设更理想的位置,减少正式的私人办公室,加强灵活性,考虑办公用桌的扩展、移动、储存等功能,降低墙高便于交流,增设非正式的聚会场所,增加人文关怀.力求改革创新公司内在软件建设:预算限制,员工层次和技术革新等方面,极力打造公司形象,积极提高员工工作潜力.总之,成功的办公室设计就像一场婚姻至关重要.
解答 41.prospective 并列连词or前后词性要一致,由此判断该空需要填一个形容词,且根据意
思potential为潜在的意思一同与该形容词修饰customers,在意思上承接得上的是prospective,意思同样为"有可能可以与之成交"的客户.故填prospective.
42.alternatives 考查alternatives与to搭配的意思,即:除开…外的选择是….to后面搭配的是the traditional work environments of the past,traditional和the past按时了这是需要被摒弃的内容,符合"排除在外"这个意思.故填alternatives.
43.innovative 考查上下文理解,createdmore flexible"strategic management environments这
个词组暗示了"更好的"解决方案,所以下文用innovative,"有创意的"可以匹配这个意思.
故填innovative.
44.confirmed 考查被动语态和词义句意理解,意思是"更具灵活性的需求在现实公共场所里的变化中得到印证",confirm是"确认"之意,故符合句意.故填confirmed.
45.assigned 考查被动语态、前后词义、句意理解,该句意思是办公室和工作区的…都不是
永久给到一个人的,只有"分配"这个意思才能还原原句,故用assigned.
46.separate 考查词义理解,separate是"分开"、"分离"或"隔开"的意思,符合原句意思.故填separate.
47.access 考查固定搭配以及词义理解,access to 表示"可以接触到"、"能够获得",原句意
思是"设计者要改进哪些员工来往密集的场所比如复印间和咖啡间",员工与这两个场所是
"去到"、"接触到"的关系.故填access.
48.conflicting 考查并列连词前后的词语搭配,and并列的应该为同样结构的词,即:现在
分词式的形容词,并且前后词义属于同一个语义层面,competing为"竞争的",conflicting为
"相互碰撞冲突的",正好符合原句意思.故填conflicting.
49.function 考查不定式、名词动词同形以及词义理解,看到不定式符号to,就知
道此空应填动词原形,除了access,separate可以作动词原形外,就剩下function,function这个常以名词词性出现的词也有动词词性,后面搭配的at theirbest,可以先联想一下"doone's best"或"try one'sbest",这样就不难推理出此空想填的是跟"发挥"、"表现"有点意思类似的词了,而function作动词的词义为"起作用",故填function.
50.elements 考查名词复数用法以及词义理解,该词处于最后一段,按照常理,此处行文应该到了文章的末段,虽然也不能有十足的把握说这篇文章已经完结,有可能也为节选.但是看到"allof these",可以不难看出暗示,这里到了总结性的部分,有"综上所述"的意味,且后面要跟可数复数名词,elements这个词正好符合词性要求,且也符合句意.故填elements.
点评 解答此类题目可遵循以下步骤:第一步,通读全文,了解文章大意,获得整体印象,同时初选出一批较有把握的答案.第二步,边核对初选答案边补填留下的空格.如果短文难度较大,则可复读几遍,核对和确定答案.有些空一时决定不了,可作个记号,待复查时再确定. 第三步,复查定稿.从整体理解角度出发,仔细审核答案,确保意义上、语法上没有错误,同时对遗留下来的少数几个空格作最后选择.
