题目解答
答案
解析
这道题目要求我们理解作者对商界人士决策方式的描述。题目中的关键句子是：“People in business often make decisions based on their own personal feelings or instincts.” 这句话明确指出，商界人士经常根据自己的个人感受或直觉来做决策。
选项分析
A) Strive to make sense of some unknown forces.
- 这个选项的意思是“努力理解一些未知的力量”。虽然作者提到了“unknown force”，但并没有说商界人士在努力理解这些力量，所以这个选项不符合题意。
B) Avoid being driven by their own feelings.
- 这个选项的意思是“避免被自己的感受所驱动”。这与原文的意思相反，原文明确指出商界人士经常根据自己的感受来做决策，所以这个选项不正确。
C) Draw on a vast wealth of past experience.
- 这个选项的意思是“借鉴丰富的过去经验”。虽然这可能是商界人士做决策的一种方式，但原文并没有提到这一点，所以这个选项不正确。
D) Rely on instincts in decision-making.
- 这个选项的意思是“在决策中依赖直觉”。这与原文中的“make decisions based on their own personal feelings or instincts”完全一致，所以这个选项是正确的。
答案
D) Rely on instincts in decision-making.
解析
本题考查对原文关键信息的提取能力。题目要求判断作者认为商界人士在决策时通常会做什么。解题核心在于抓住原文中的核心短语“based on their own personal feelings or instincts”，即商界人士依赖个人感受或直觉做决策。需注意选项中与原文表述高度一致的选项。
关键句定位：原文明确指出“People in business often make decisions based on their own personal feelings or instincts”，即商界人士常根据个人感受或直觉做决策。
选项分析：
- A. Strive to make sense of some unknown forces
原文中“unknown force”仅用于描述“被未知力量引导”的现象，但商界人士的行为是“依赖本能或情感”，而非“努力理解未知力量”，故排除。 - B. Avoid being driven by their own feelings
与原文矛盾，原文强调“基于个人情感做决策”，而非“避免被情感驱动”，故排除。 - C. Draw on a vast wealth of past experience
原文未提及“借鉴过去经验”，属于无关选项，排除。 - D. Rely on instincts in decision-making
与原文“based on instincts”完全对应，正确。
