【評析】
這篇閱讀理解的主題是講商務(wù)領(lǐng)導才能，關(guān)鍵詞兩個：leadership和business�？忌斫膺@篇文章，就需要抓住這兩個關(guān)鍵詞，并且認真領(lǐng)會作者所闡述的這二者之間的關(guān)系。
開篇第一句即指出領(lǐng)導才能在當今競爭激烈的商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的重要地位，是排名第二的重要詞匯，并指出原因。隨后進一步指出，研究領(lǐng)導才能的專家們會毫不猶豫地指出“做事情的方式”影響結(jié)果的成功與否，并且暗示著做事方式的對與錯。最后，作者引用了曾經(jīng)是一位出色管理人Peter
Drucker總結(jié)的一句話：管理是將事情做對，領(lǐng)導是做對的事情。意即在Peter
Drucker看來，優(yōu)秀的領(lǐng)導人需要擅長做對的事情。以上都是先前存在的對商務(wù)領(lǐng)導才能的一些看法。
隨后第二段，作者就將話題一轉(zhuǎn) ，指出Stephen Covey在其暢銷書中提出的觀點開始引起人們反思先前對領(lǐng)導才能的理解。Stephen
Covey指出先前的領(lǐng)導才能都是以人的性格和個性為中心，而他則倡導領(lǐng)導人必須了解實現(xiàn)高效的普遍原則，并且強調(diào)了領(lǐng)導人要想在工作中有杰出表現(xiàn)，先實現(xiàn)良好的自我管理是至關(guān)重要的。在此基礎(chǔ)上，作者水到渠成地指出，要達到業(yè)務(wù)目標，必須要對自己的目標和重視的東西有清楚的認識。最后，作者總結(jié)出，商務(wù)領(lǐng)導才能就是要將首要的事情放在首要位置，這就暗示著在領(lǐng)導他人之前，你要先對自己的價值觀、能力和優(yōu)勢有清楚的認識，并且要讓自己在別人看來是值得信任的。換句話說，優(yōu)秀的商務(wù)領(lǐng)導要十分了解自己，并且要能贏得他人的信任。

本文選自國外網(wǎng)站www.slate.com上面的一篇文章，主標題為“Trade Is the New
Plastics”，副標題為Young Americans need to learn to sell and buy overseas.
講的是關(guān)于美國貿(mào)易方面的問題，屬于閱讀題常考的經(jīng)濟方面的話題范圍。
從難度上來講，本文不算是一篇很難的閱讀題，涉及到的陌生詞和比較偏的單詞并不是太多。但是考生在做題的時候，還是要保持謹慎。
在答題的時候，大家還是按照以往的做題方式，先通過題目中的關(guān)鍵詞到原文中定位。在定位的時候，可以略讀，但要抓住重要信息點。此外，but等轉(zhuǎn)折詞之后會是經(jīng)常考到的考點，因此，53題則通過“But
there's another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the
figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession。。。but
an economic expansion.”這一句的信息點選出答案。
54題則定位到“The rising tide of trade is also
good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those
that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price—agricultural
goods, mining, metals, oil.”
55題，考生要特別注意，不可因為“One great challenge for the
U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer
demand.”這一句中有slack一詞，就錯誤的選擇了D。其實正確答案是C選項。
56.題考查作者的建議，主要是擴大市場份額。因此答案選B。

【解析】
這是一篇議論文。文章開頭就提供了一個背景，即英國的大學在將知識轉(zhuǎn)化成產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的能力方面不斷的遭受著批評。第二段提到了UK
National Stem Cell Network，即英國國家干細胞網(wǎng)絡(luò)，發(fā)出了這樣的警告：如果沒有資金和立法支持的話，英國將在干細胞研究方面失去領(lǐng)軍地位。
第三段，作者針對這個批評，提出了相反的看法，并以最近的一個研究數(shù)據(jù)作支撐：對比澳洲，加拿大，美國和英國的高校及研究所，英國在商業(yè)化活動的指標上還是處于地位的。第四段作者從國家政策層面來分析，認為過去十年的政策介入也對英國大學的表現(xiàn)產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。第五段講述，研究資金的偏態(tài)分布不僅僅是英國獨有的，其他經(jīng)濟體也存在這樣的問題。在英國，不到25%的大學卻擁有75%的研究資金。但同時，這些大學也是培養(yǎng)博士生最多的，產(chǎn)生的科學著作、專利和授權(quán)收入最多的機構(gòu)。可見，這種將資源集中的政策造就了研究型和商業(yè)型相結(jié)合的優(yōu)秀的大學。第六段，作者提到這些研究型高校的核心目標就是將研究成果利益化。接著在第七、八兩段里，講述了這些高校能夠為英國經(jīng)濟的復蘇做些什么，即加快技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)換和研究院教育水平。
