第13题：

5P'sapproachtoinnovationisdifferentbecauseitallowsresearchers

to

A.workformorethanonecompany.

B.workonavarietyofproducts.

C.workwithgroupsinotherorganizations.

D.workaloneaswellasinateam

参考答案：D

答案解析：

第二段谈到5P公司独特的革新方法，第三段还谈到“…theycanworkontheir

ownorinagroup”。可见该公司允许其研究人员在公司内部单独丁作，或者

在公司内部以团体形成工作。

第14题：

MarkPetersaysitcanbedifficultforcompaniestobeinnovativebecause

thisinvolves

A.givingmorepowertotheaccountants.

B.employingalotofmanagers.

C.beingorderlyandorganized.

D.beingpreparedtotakerisks.

参考答案：D

答案解析：

第一段谈到MarkPeter认为大公司只有创新才能生存。然而经营一个有所创新

的公司很难。A,B项含义不符，C太片面，只有D概括全面。

第15题：

When5Phasanewideaittriesto

A.sellitonlyinnewmarkets.

B.sellitinmarketsitalreadycontrols.

C.thinkofdifferentwaysofexploitingit.

D.keepitsecretaslongaspossible.

参考答案：C

答案解析：

第四段提出创新是5P立足之本，而且他们“takeanideaandseehowmany

7

applicationsit，sgot”,此点与C含义吻合。

第16题：

ThewritersaysthatthePost-itnotewasinventedasaresultof

A.aresearcher，sowninitiative.

B.researchcarriedoutbyagroup.

C.researchoriginallydoneonanotherproduct.

D.amanager，sinnovativeidea.

参考答案：A

答案解析：

文章第三段说，研究人员85%时间用来做项目；15%用来自由工作，而post-itnote

正来自这15%时间。也就是说post-itnote是个人主动开发出的。

第17题：

Theresearchersat5Pneedtobepeoplewho

A.feelrelaxedabouttheirwork.

B.haveanindividualapproachtoproblems.

C.areacademicallygifted.

D.arewillingtostaywiththecompanyforalongtime.

参考答案：B

答案解析：

最后一段说5P要聘peoplewhothinkforthemselves,这与B中havean

individualapproachtoproblems含义一致。

第18题：

5PseesthePacingPlusprogramas

A.somethingothercompaniesarelikelytocopy.

B.anopportunitytotakeoversomeofitscompetition.

C.adeparturefromitspreviousapproach.

D.awayofsolvingcertainproblems.

参考答案：c

答案解析：

第五段谈到：5P把pacingplus计划看做是对新思想的追求，他们希望自己所

追求的新思想者Bleadtotheestablishmentofcompletelynewbusinesso

可见5P是把pacingplusprogram看做是和先前工作方法的脱钩。
