［A］ “I just dont know how to motivate them to do a better job。 Were in a budget crunch and I have absolutely no financial rewards at my disposal。 In fact； well probably have to lay some people off in the near future。 Its hard for me to make the job interesting and challenging because it isnt －its boring； routine paperwork； and there isnt much you can do about it。
［B］ “Finally； I cant say to them that their promotions will hinge on the
excellence of their paperwork。 First of all； they know its not true。If their performance is adequate； most are more likely to get promoted just by
staying on the force a certain number of years than for some specific
outstanding act。 Second； they were trained to do the job they do out in the
streets； not to fill out forms。 All through their career it is the arrests
and intervetions that get noticed。
［C］ “Ive got a real problem with my officers。 They e on the force as
young； inexperienced men； and we send them out on the street； either in cars or on a beat； They seem to like the contact they have with the public； the action involved in crime prevention； and the apprehension of criminals。 They also like helping people out at fires； accidents； and other emergencies。
［D］ “Some people have suggested a number of things like using conviction records as a performance criterion。 However； we know thats not fair－too many other things are involved。 Bad paperwork increases the chance that you lose in court； but good paperwork doesnt necessarily mean youll win。 We tried setting up team petitions based on the excellence of the reports；
but the guys caught on to that pretty quickly。 No one was getting any type
of reward for winning the petition； and they figured why should they
labor when there was no payoff。
［E］ “The problem occurs when they get back to the station。 They hate to do the paperwork； and because they dislike it； the job is frequently put off or done inadequately。 This lack of attention hurts us later on when we get
to court。 We need clear； factual reports。 They must be highly detailed and
unambiguous。 As soon as one part of a report is shown to be inadequate or incorrect； the rest of the report is suspect。 Poor reporting probably causes us to lose more cases than any other factor。
［F］ “So I just dont know What to do。 Ive been groping in the dark in a
number of years。 And I hope that this seminar will shed some light on this
problem of mine and help me out in my future work。”
［G］ A large metropolitan city government was putting on a number of
seminars for administrators； managers and/or executives of various
departments throughout the city。 At one of these sessions the topic to be
discussed was motivation－how we can get public servants motivated to do a
good job。 The difficulty of a police captain became the central focus of the
discussion。

文章导读
首段说的是：一个大都市的市政府召开各部门管理人员研讨会。有一个研讨会讨论的话
题是如何激励公务员做好工作。在讨论中，一位警察局警长遇到的难题成了谈论的焦
点。除了这段话，其他段的话都有引号，表明是某人说的话。尾段说到：“所以我不知
道如何是好。多年来我一直在黑暗中探索。我希望这次研讨会能给我的难题带来启示，能帮我应对未来的工作。”很明显，这是发言的总结句。结合第一段的内容，我们可以知道，引号里的话是警察局警长的话，而整篇文章主要讲的是他面临的难题。
答案与解析
41【答案】C
【解析】A到E段，哪一段像发言的起始段呢？这就要看是哪一段把讨论的话题引入。这里可以主要看每段的第一句话。会发现C段第一句话直截了当地点出话题：“Ive got a real problem with my officers”，而且与首段的最后一句连接自然，所以可以判定41题空中应该填C。
42【答案】E
【解析】C段的第一句话后，警长开始评价他的队员。这一段的内容较为正面。因为警长说“有一个难题”，按逻辑顺序，下一段落应该出现转折，提出职员中存在的问题。依照这样的思路，我们在剩下的段落中寻找，可以发现下一段选E连接最自然。
43【答案】A
【解析】本文的主题是警长遇到的“难题”，既然第二题已经知道了警长遇到的难题是They hate to do the paperwork。（他们不喜欢写公文），那么，如果进行适当的推理，下文就应该以“I”做主语，来具体阐述警长自己的困惑之所在了。选项A以第一人称“I”开头，在逻辑上非常合适。
44【答案】B
【解析】
段落之间的关联词语非常重要，选项B中的第一个词Finally就是一个非常重要的线索词。其实，选项A是警长遇到的第一个困惑，而选项B是他遇到的第二个困惑。因为本文是一篇发言，所以，在连接词上可以相对随意些，无论是Second也好还是Finally也好，都能表示出先后顺序来。
45【答案】D
【解析】警长是毫无办法。难道就一点办法都没有吗？其他人是怎么看的？在D段中，警长提到有人建议通过胜诉记录来评价，他们也进行过小组之间的比赛，但是没有什么效果。所以，警长殷切地希望能在研讨会上得到启发和帮助。按照这样的思路，这些段落就组成了一篇通顺、完整的文章。
提示：考生在做这样的题型时，如果没有把握，可以多列出几种可能的顺序，然后根据这些顺序重读文章，看是否思路顺畅。完成此类题目关键是把握文章的主要话题和基本的逻辑顺序。
答案：
G 41。C 42。E 43。A 44。B 45。D F

The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order。 For Questions 4145；you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list AG to fill in each numbered box。 The first and the last paragraphs have been placed for you in Boxes。 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1。（10 points）
［A］ Foremost on every potential buyers list of concerns is debt。 The average South
Korean pany is leveraged four times over its equity； which is why so many are desperate to liquidate assets。 But because Koreas currency lost half its value last year； many Korean executives believe—mistakenly—that foreign buyers wi
ll find their wares attractive in spite of their debts； analysts says。
［B］ Despite such aversion to foreign ownership； some deals are going through。 Directors of Bank of Asia are believed to have approved the sale of a stake in their midsized bank to Dutch bank ABNAmro。 For the Bank of Thailand； the central bank； the ABNAmro deal will send a muchneeded signal that the country is weling foreign capital。
［C］ “The attitude of Koreans is that only foreigners will pay the price they are as
k
ing；” says Daniel Harwood of ABNAmro Asia in Seoul。 But foreigners are look
ing
at these business and saying “How can I make a profit；” not “Oh； its cheap； and Ill buy it。” No one will take over these panies unless they can restructure。
［D］ Survival is usually uppermost in the minds of panies with their backs to the wall； even if that entails being reduced to a minority stake。 In Thailand； however； most ailing panies seem loathe to admit that their conditions may be fatal。 “They arent realistic；” says Henry Conell； Goldman Sachs Hong Kongbased partner in charge of direct investment in Asia。 “Nobody is about to say
to them； you will be gone。”
［E］ In south Korea； interest from foreigners has focused more on the countrys manufacturers。 But； the number of actual purchases； like those in Thailand； is small。 In any event； bigticket crossborder mergers and acquisitions are bound to take time。 Indeed； analysts say the main reason for the dearth of deals so far is due to diligence： foreign investors must thoroughly familiarize themselves with panies they might buy。 “You cant do this stuff overnight；” says a senior official at a large Western bank in Seoul。
［F］ Still； the number of deals is growing by the day。 On February 19； Samsung Heavy Industries simultaneously sold its excavator division to Swedens Volvo Construction Equipment and its forklift operation to the United States Clark Martirial Handling。 Earlier； the chemical giant Hanwha group sold two affiliates to its Japanese and German partners。 Despite the slow start； no one doubts that the bargains at Korea Inc。 are for real。
［G］ Thai businesses unwillingness to sell hasnt been helped by the governments own ambivalence。 While Finance Minister Tarrin Nimmanahaeminda is mitted to attracting foreign money to Thailand； Deputy Prime Minister Supachai Panitchpakdi seems less so。 “We dont want foreign firms to e and buy out our businesses。 We want them to e； buy shares； and operate firms—and sell them after making profits；” he told the local media recently。 “This will give Thais a chance to buy them back。”

答案与解析
41【答案】G
【解析】从本文首段的In Thailand； however； most ailing panies seem loathe to admit that their conditions may be fatal。 可知泰国许多企业的一种消极应对困境的态度。而在五个备选项中，G项中包含泰国政府对于企业生存的观点阐释，使其与首段有效衔接，为正确选项。
42【答案】B
【解析】本段首句提到“尽管对外国所有权存在这些厌恶，一些交易仍在进行。”这与上段末句所提及的泰国副首相Supachai对于“我们不愿外国公司进来并购买我们的企业……”是同意承接，B项为此题最佳选项。
43【答案】E
【解析】在剩余选项中进行比较，可知接下来的行文应是过渡到韩国公司被国外投资者收购的一些情况介绍上，而E项的。。。 like those in Thailand；。。。 正好是一关键的文意过渡表述段落。E项为此题最佳选项。
44【答案】A
【解析】上段阐释了外国投资者对韩国企业的跨边界并购交易数量少的现实情况，而A段首句阐释的潜在的购买者最担心的是债务正好是交易数量少的一个有效说明。A项为此题最佳答案。
45【答案】C
【解析】末段具体举例说明了外国投资者购买韩国企业的交易数量与日俱增，上段末说明了韩企老总错误地认为外商会被其产品吸引而不顾及其债务。而C项中的Daniel Harwood 的观点正好把两个段落有效联系起来。

［A］ See yourself as successful。If I could plug into the minds of my patients and lis
ten to the statements they make to themselves；I am convinced that the majority o
f them would be negative：“Im running late again as usual。”“My hair looks te
rrible this morning。”“That was a stupid remark I made—she probably thinks I
m
a dummy。”Since thousands of these messages flash across our brains every day； it is small wonder that the result is a diminished selfimage。
［B］ Author and editor Norman Cousins wrote：“People are never more inse
cure than when they bee obsessed with their fears at the expense of their dre
ams。”There is no doubt that if we can envision beneficial things happening；they
have a way of actually occurring。
［C］ Stevens finally had a hearttoheart talk with herself：“I realized that I simpl
y wasnt a wit or an intellectual and that I could succeed only as myself。I bega
n listening and asking questions at parties instead of trying to impress the gue
sts。When I spoke；I tried to contribute；not to shine。Almost at once I started to
feel a new warmth in my social contacts。They liked the real me better。”If we a
re true to our instincts；most of us will find that we naturally develop certain
trademarks。The discovery and expression of that uniqueness is one reason we are
on this planet。Resisting conformity and developing some small eccentricities a
re among the steps to independence and selfconfidence。
［D］ Many of us get interested in a field；but then the going gets tough；we see that
other people are more successful；and we bee discouraged and quit。But it is of
ten the boring；repetitive sharpening of our skills that wi
