真题来历：e1-2011text2

when liam mcgee departed as president of bank of america in august, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company." broadcasting his ambition was "very much my decision," mcgee says. within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of hartford financial services group, which named him ceo and chairman on september 29.

mcgee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. it also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. and mcgee isn't alone. in recent weeks the no. 2 executives at avon and american express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a ceo post. as boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on. a turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.

?

as the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. in the third quarter, ceo turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the

leaders they had, according to liberum research. as the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.

?

the decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. for years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive ceo candidates are the ones who must be poached. says korn ferry senior partner dennis carey:"i can't think of a single search i've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting ceos first."

those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickly. ellen marram quit as chief of tropicana a decade ago, saying she wanted to be a ceo. it was a year before she became head of a tiny internet-based commodities exchange. robert willumstad left citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a ceo. he finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.

?

many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. the financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. "the traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are, but that's been fundamentally inverted," says one headhunter. "the people who've been hurt the worst are those who've stayed too long."

26. when mcgee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being______

[a] arrogant.

[b] frank.

[c] self-centered.

[d] impulsive.

?

27. according to paragraph 2, senior executives' quitting may be spurred by______

[a] their expectation of better financial status.

[b] their need to reflect on their private life.

[c] their strained relations with the boards.

[d] their pursuit of new career goals.

?

28. the word "poached" (line 3, paragraph 4) most probably means_____

[a] approved of.

[b] attended to.

[c] hunted for.

[d] guarded against.

?

29. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____

[a] top performers used to cling to their posts.

[b] loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.

[c] top performers care more about reputations.

[d] it's safer

to stick to the traditional rules.

?

30. which of the following is the best title for the text?

[a] ceos: where to go?

[b] ceos: all the way up?

[c] top managers jump without a net

[d] the only way out for top performers

答案解析：

26.[b]?
题干问：mcgee宣告离任时，是以啥姿势体现出来的？

看到题干中的要害词mcgee和departure，咱们把答案出处定位于第一段的第一句：when liam mcgee departed as president of bank of america in august, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. “当liam mcgee8月份辞去美国银行行长一职时，他的理由直白得令人讶异。”这句话中的straight up“直爽，坦率”就是答案。假定不太断定straight up的意思，那就往后看，看到rather than...in the usual vague excuses“与以往不置可否的理由不一样”后，咱们也可以判别出straight up是啥意思了。?

找到答案出处后，咱们接下来判别四个选项：a项的arrogant意为“狂妄的，自傲的”；b项的frank意为“坦率的”，契合straight up所要表达的意思，是正确答案；c项的self-centered意为“以自我为中心的，自私的”；d项的impulsive意为“激动的，顽固的”，impulsive是由名词impulse“激动，振奋；推进，推进；影响，煽动”去-e加描述词后缀-ive变成。?

27.[d]?
题干问：由第二段可知，高管离任的驱动力是啥？

题干说得很理解，咱们需要从第二段中找出答案。说真话，第二段中没有固定的哪句话很直白地告诉咱们答案，咱们需要分析这段的用词，从作者的用词里边找出答案的蛛丝马迹。咱们需要重视的词或短语有aspirations“志向，宏愿壮志”、looking for a ceo post“寻找ceo的作业”、move on“持续前行”和cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations“留心不让不置可否的（离任）声明给他们的名誉蒙尘”，这几个词很清楚地告诉咱们高官们离任，首要是想获得非常好的作业打开，俗?怠叭送叽ψ摺甭铩?找到答案出处后，咱们就能选出答案d了。

28.[c]?
题干问：第四段第三行的poached是啥意思？

直接找到第四段第三行的poached这个词，然后看它的前后文，找到文章对这个词的阐释。这个单词后边一句话中的sitting ceos“在职ceo们”给咱们供给晓得题的钥匙。这句话是说董事会一旦要招人，会优先盯着那些在职的ceo们。要把这些人招过来，那必定要开挖了，这就是poach所包括的意思“挖墙脚”。?

找到答案出处后，咱们接下来判别四个选项：a项的approved of意为“撑持，满足，答应”；b项的attended to意为“照看，留心，专心”；c项的hunted for意为“查找，寻找”，一旦查找到，需要人才的当地一般会想方设法把人才挖过来，因而与poach的意思接近，当选；d项的guarded against意为“防备，避免，防备”，一般看到against构成的短语，根柢都富含“唱反调，对立”的意思。?

29.[a]
题干问：从最终一段咱们可以得出啥揣度？答案直接定位于最终一段。首要，咱们要看看最终一段讲的是啥，才干有所揣度。最终一段第一句?祄any recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers.“许多招聘人员说对高管来说，曩昔认为不太光彩的作业在逐渐变得可以承受”。因为这句话，b项有可以变成烦扰非常强的选项，b项是说“高管的忠诚已过期”，首要不说这句话正本就不契合现状——公司仍是等待职工，特别是高层人员具有忠诚度的，就从第一句话来分析，b项也不正确，fade只是“褪色；逐步散失；逐渐变老”的意思，并不是说现已时过境迁，因而b项的out-dated变成打扫b项的敲门砖。?

看过第一句话，咱们接下交游后看，后边表达的意思是：经济危机让徜徉在两份作业中或脱离一份不好的作业变得更简略被人承受，传统的坚持原作业更平安的观念也被完全推翻，实际上，受伤最深的恰恰是那些呆的时刻太长的人。把后边这些话看理解之后，咱们心里马上就有了这个形象——我们早年总喜爱断定一份作业不动窝。因而，咱们就可以断定正确答案为a了。?

30.[b]
题干问：这篇文章的最佳标题是啥？

这是主旨粗心题，归于比照难的题型。要找标题，那咱们要晓得这篇文章的主旨粗心是啥，也就是说要晓得这篇文章在讲啥内容。

这篇文章以一个事例最初：liam mcgee辞去美国银行行长的职位（第一段第一句），而且是没有找到下家就辞去职务了（第二段首句）。?一般文章最初给出一个比方，那文章的主旨一般都是这个比方所代表的表象或规则（考研文章根柢都是，因为考研的文章一般低矮且要自成一体表达一个无缺的意思，因而不可以能花许多篇幅来举个与主旨毫无联络的比方）。要晓得这篇文章的主旨，咱们就来研读这个比方，选最能表达这个比方的选项作为文章标题，一起，咱们还要重视紧接比方的下一段的首句，因为这句话在大大都情况下都会归纳前面所述的事例，其实也就是文章的主旨。?

第三段的首句中呈现了deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net“副总裁更情愿净身换岗”，而c项的top managers jump without a net与这句话的意思很靠近。

激烈的烦扰项是[a]ceos: where to go?和[b]ceos: all the way up? ceo在文中呈现了许多次，我们简略把ceo当成主体词。这也是反反出题的一个体现。文章的主体词其实是：top manager, ceo只是他们想去变成，而不是如今就是。不是主题词。这给了咱们一个启示，要从文章的粗心找规划。不要被其他的所谓技巧所利诱。

去掉a和b今后，c和d比较答案就比照简略了。只是要了解net 就是替换了new job。因而c当选。a项和b项看起来很帅，会发生比照强的烦扰，但只需坚持你自个的分析，就不会被烦扰。?

?

全文翻译：

liam mcgee在8月辞去美国银行总裁一职时，所给出的辞去职务理由坦率地惊人。他没有以惯常的迷糊托言来点缀他的脱离，而是坦率地说，他的离去是为去寻求自个关于一家公司的运营方针。mcgee说，宣传他的野心完尽是他的抉择。在两周内，他初度和哈特福德金融效能集团的董事会进行了商洽，他们录用mcgee在九月二十九号做他们的ceo和主席。

mcgee说在没有找到下家的情况下离任，使他有时刻去思考自个想运营一家怎样的公司。这一起也向外界清楚地表达了他的作业期望。mcgee并不是仅有一个扔掉了自个平稳的职位，而去寻找新的作业方针的人。在迩来两周，雅芳和美国运通公司的二把手们辞去了他们的职务，理由是他们想寻找一份ceo的职位。因为董事会迫于股东们的压力而严肃检查公司的接任方案，那些未获得答应的高管们也可以会想辞去职务。骚动的环境也使得高档打点者们稳重避免让迷糊的声明掩盖了自个的声威。 ?

跟着初度经济复苏痕迹的呈现，二把手们可以更情愿在没有作业的情况下辞去职务。根据liberum的研讨，因为忧心如焚的董事会尽力留住公司现有的主管们，第三季度首席实施官的活动率与一年前比较降低了23%。因为经济的复苏，对有志向的领导者们来说充溢了机缘。

辞去高档职务去寻找非常好的作业的抉择不是传统的做法。这些年，高管们和猎头们现已遵从这么一条规则：最有招引力的ceo提名人，是那些被挖的人光辉国籍的资深合伙人 dennis carey 说："我所举办的每一次招聘中，董事会都需求我从那些在任的 ceo 中寻找人选。"

在没有作业的情况下辞去职务的我们，并不老是很快能得到一份高职位的作业。ellen marram在十年前辞去tropicana的首席一职时，说她想找一份ceo的作业。一年前，她变成了一家小型根据互联网的产品生意所的领导者。2005年，robert willumstad带着变成一名ceo的宏愿脱离了citigroup。三年后，他才究竟在一家大型金融机构找到了ceo的作业。

许多招募人员说，高管曩昔的羞耻正在逐渐地褪去。金融危机现已使得赋闲或许辞去不好的作业变得愈加简略令人承受。一位猎头说：“传统的规则认为待在你正本的当地是平安的，可是如今现已从根柢上倒置过来了，受损伤最严峻的人正是这些待得时刻最长的人。”
