6．One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar．"Brutus was not an honorable man，"he said．"He was a traitor（叛徒）．And he murdered someone in cold blood．"The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him．He made a bad decision，they said-at least as it was presented by Shakespeare-to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar．And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind，Caesar was nevertheless his superior．"You have to endeavor，"the executives said，"our policy is to obey the chain of command．"
During the last few years，business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare's wisdom for profitable ends．None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman，well-known advisers to the White House，who started up a training company called"Movers and Shakespeares"．They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers，and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business．They conduct between 30and 40workshops annually，focusing on half a dozen different plays，mostly for corporations，but also for government agencies．
The workshops all take the same form，focusing on a single play as a kind of case study，and using individual scenes as specific lessons．In Julius Caesar，sly provocation（狡詐的挑唆） of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism．
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature，the programmes，contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background．Their workshop on Henry V，for example，includes a helpful explanation of Henry's winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt．But they do come to the text with a few biases （偏向）：their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power．Instead，they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader．And at the workshop on Caesar，Mr．Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus，saying"the noblest Roman of them all"couldn't make his mind up about things．
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related Caesar's pride，which led to his murder，and Brutus's mistakes in leading the after the murder，they said，raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss？

分析 這篇文章的內(nèi)容和莎士比亞相關(guān)，講述了Adelmans夫婦開辦莎士比亞文學(xué)作品鑒賞機(jī)構(gòu)，吸納企業(yè)執(zhí)行官們研修莎翁作品，借此提升他們的企業(yè)管理能力的故事．在過去幾年，商業(yè)執(zhí)行官和作家們找到了一種新的方式來勸導(dǎo)行政體系，美國探索利用了莎士比亞的智慧來產(chǎn)生客觀效益．發(fā)揮到極致的莫過于Kenneth和Carol Adelman夫婦了，他們是著名的白宮建議人，建立了一個名為"movers and shakespeares"的培訓(xùn)公司．他們是非專業(yè)的莎士比亞研究者和推崇者，并將其高昂的激情用于商業(yè)管理培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目中．他們每年都會承辦30到40場研討會，專著于討論不同的莎士比亞著作．大部分為了企業(yè)而舉辦，但也有政府要員參與．
解答 73、A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．第一段中，提到"The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him．"其實(shí)就是"what all the executives thought of Brutus"的另一種說法，相當(dāng)于同意替換．所以大家全部贊同Brutus是個殘忍的人．本題難度不髙．故答案選A．
74、B．推理判斷題．Adelmans夫婦設(shè)立"Moversand Shakespeares"的目的可以從第二、第三段中找到蹤跡．雖然第二段中沒有明確說明，但我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣一句"and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business．"最后定位在"management training business"三個關(guān)鍵詞上．我們再從答案中找到類似表達(dá)，發(fā)現(xiàn)B選頂?shù)谋磉_(dá)與原文意思最為接近．這對夫婦設(shè)立這個莎翁作品研習(xí)機(jī)構(gòu)就是為了向那些企業(yè)管理人員提供一些新鮮的視角和方法，從莎翁的文學(xué)作品中學(xué)到一些企業(yè)管理和員工激勵等的理論和精髓．本題稍有難度．故答案選B．
75、A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．通過關(guān)鍵詞Henry V，我們快速鎖定第四段．第四段幾乎全段都在討論設(shè)立莎翁文學(xué)作品研讀機(jī)構(gòu)的目的．小說中的亨利五世濫用職權(quán)，但研讀機(jī)構(gòu)故意忽略了這一點(diǎn)，而更加側(cè)重亨利五世勇于抓住機(jī)會并成長為一名杰出領(lǐng)袖的部分．另外，工坊向大家剖析了亨利五世打贏the Battle of Agincourt戰(zhàn)役的戰(zhàn)略．A選頂正是強(qiáng)調(diào)了抓住機(jī)會（進(jìn)而成長為領(lǐng)袖）的重要性，為最佳選頂．B選頂鼓勵大師級的領(lǐng)袖們?yōu)榱顺晒π杼崆爸\劃．C選頂闡釋了管理中偏見的危害．D選頂警告管理者們不要濫用職權(quán)，與原文意義恰恰相反．本題定位雖較為容易，但要想得到正確答案，還需要思考思考．稍有難度．綜上所述，故答案選A．
76、D．推理判斷題．看四個答案．A選頂提到的內(nèi)容在剛才講亨利五世小說研讀機(jī)構(gòu)時提到過（第四段），但語意已經(jīng)被改的面目全非，說莎翁小說研讀機(jī)構(gòu)的項(xiàng)目有失偏頗，因?yàn)橹魅斯呀?jīng)被無限放大．與原文嚴(yán)重不符．B選頂指出機(jī)構(gòu)的企業(yè)家學(xué)員們對莎翁戲劇中的很多內(nèi)容感到厭煩，這與原文不符．假若發(fā)現(xiàn)厭煩，就沒有必要參加此研修班了．C選頂指出如果Adelmans夫婦是專業(yè)學(xué)者，或許能夠賺更多錢．這點(diǎn)原文中沒有暗示．可以排除．D選頂提到莎士比亞在管理領(lǐng)域起了重要作用．綜上所述，只有D選頂符合題意．故答案選D．
77、D．標(biāo)題判斷題．需要總結(jié)一下莎士比亞戲劇在本文中究竟是什么．此題有難度，干擾頂太多．A．莎翁戲劇讓企管人員重新思考企業(yè)文化．B．莎翁戲劇是商業(yè)成功的關(guān)鍵秘訣，過分夸大了戲劇的作用．C．莎翁戲劇為企業(yè)激勵上了一課，涵蓋面略窄．D．莎翁戲�。簯騽∮�(xùn)練帶來戲劇化的結(jié)果，dramatic用詞巧妙，雙關(guān)．綜合考慮，故答案選D．
點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇有關(guān)于歷史文化的閱讀．題目結(jié)構(gòu)：兩道推理判斷題，兩道細(xì)節(jié)理解題和一道標(biāo)題判斷題．本篇閱讀稍有難度，需好好理解，平時可以多訓(xùn)練自己重點(diǎn)信息定位的能力，注重提髙自己的辨析能力，全部選對，則不是難事．
