The Special Forces Club, founded in 1945 in London by former members of the Special Operations Fxecutive,is a reminder that some things are more important than money. But the world of money is hard to ignore. Harrods, a posh department store, is just around the corner. A Russian oligarch is noisily building a palace across the road. Many members have to think about making a living now that the army is shrinking. They wonder; are the skills that are celebrated inside the club useful in the world outside its windows?
Once upon a time, business could not get enough of the smell of cordite. Tycoons referred to themselves as "captains of industry" and crafted "strategics"(from the Greek word for "general")for their troops. They talked of waging "war" on their rivals. They relaxed by reading Sun Tzu’s "The Art of War". But more recently attitudes have changed. Businesspeople argue that military-style command-and-control systems are out of date in a world of knowledge’ workers and fluid alliances.
This argument provokes
derision
in the Special Forces Club. Sir. Michael Rose, a retired general who spent part of his career with Britain’s SAS(Special Air Service), points out that the special forces have always embraced currently trendy management nostrums such as "empowerment" and " high-performance teams". People who are dropped behind enemy lines have no choice but to rely on their own wits and make the most of limited resources. Sir. Michael also points out that the regular forces have followed the special forces in introducing a "mission-command approach"—that is, a commander defines the overall mission but then leaves the officers on the ground to decide how to execute it.
Plenty of retired officers argue that businesspeople have much to learn from the armed services. For example, business theorists increasingly emphasizes the importance of corporate culture, yet many new businesses do a dismal job of nurturing it. The military services, by contrast, have been adept at preserving their culture at a time of social turmoil. Granted, they have sometimes been slow to change. America only lifted the ban on openly gay troops in 2011, and on women in combat last month. But still, armies are much better than other institutions at building a lifelong esprit de corps. Military mottoes make strong men cry: " The few, the proud" ; " Who dares wins". Most corporate mission statements make desk warriors cringe with embarrassment.
What would be the best title for the text?
选项
A、Business has much to learn from the armed forces.
B、Special Forces Club offers mission-command approach.
C、Military skills are out of date in today’s business world.
D、Military skills are essential to the success of the corporate.
答案
A
解析
主题题。原文定位:主题句和主体词,本文没有明显的主题句,所以先看主体词:business,military。同意替换:[A]、[C]、[D]三个选项都包含有原文的主体词或同意替换词。由于[B]选项包含有细节,故可首先排除;选项[C]说军事技能过时,这只是一部分人的观点;文章中心靠后,要表达的是[A]选项的含义:商界可以向军界学习很多;[D]选项有一定的迷惑性,不过熟悉真题的同学都应该知道:essential就是个倒霉孩子,必须要文章中有这样的表述才可能成为正确答案,如果没有这样的表述是绝对不能选择的!
