题目解答

答案

1~5 CABAB

解析

  1. 考查要点：本题主要考查对文章中关键短语的理解、对沟通链步骤的识别、对“Chinese whispers”概念的辨析、对术语“allocative success”的定义掌握，以及根据段落推断因果关系的能力。
  2. 解题思路：
    • 第1题：需结合上下文理解短语“confirming reception of the sent messages”的核心含义，关键点在于明确“正确接收者”和“正确理解”两个维度。
    • 第2题：需回忆沟通链的基本步骤（如构思、发送、接收、反馈等），重点判断哪一步符合故事中“将军正确传达命令”的逻辑。
    • 第3题：需结合常识判断“Chinese whispers”是通过耳语传递信息的游戏，而非与中国人相关。
    • 第4题：需根据“allocative success”的字面含义（分配成功）推断其指信息正确流向目标部门。
    • 第5题：需联系最后一段中“human failure”的后果，重点抓住“部门间沟通不畅”这一核心结果。

第1题

关键点：短语“confirming reception of the sent messages”需拆解为“确认接收方收到消息”和“确认消息被正确理解”。

  • 选项C（确保正确接收者正确理解）同时涵盖“正确接收者”和“正确理解”两个维度，而A仅强调接收者正确性，B仅强调理解正确性，均不全面。

第2题

关键点：沟通链的正确步骤应为“构思→发送→接收→反馈”。

  • 故事中“将军直接向士兵下令”跳过了中间层级的“接收与反馈”，说明“发送”是关键正确步骤（选项E）。

第3题

关键点：“Chinese whispers”是英语习语，指多人通过耳语传递信息导致错误累积的游戏，与中国人无关。

  • 选项H（耳语传话游戏）直接对应定义。

第4题

关键点：“allocative”意为“分配”，“success”指成功。

  • “正确信息流向正确部门”（选项J）最符合“分配成功”的语境。

第5题

关键点：最后一段指出“人类失误会导致信息传递中断”。

  • “部门间沟通不畅”（选项N）是直接结果，其他选项与段落内容无关。
