再看2009年6月的快速阅读第六题:
6. What did Dale think of Mindsets LLC s workshop?
A) It was well-intentioned but poorly conducted.
B) It tapped into the executives full potential.
C) It helped him make fair decisions.
D) It met participants diverse needs.
这道题在当年得分率非常低。原因就在于这道题对应的可能段落有两段而不是一段:
I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . Dale s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .
I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision . Dale credits the workshop , because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .
这道题目的要求更高。考生不仅要知道重点在两个段落的首末句上,还需要结合题目所问,对这四个句子孰轻孰重作出预先判断,然后再进行阅读。题目问的是Dale对这个研讨班的看法。据此看来一段第一句无效,因其起始部分讲到的是Dale在公司的position。同样该段末句也无效,Dale s assumptions 讲的是Dale原先的一些错误想法和做法。很可惜的是当年不少考生都在这两个句子上耗费了大量时间,甚至还有个别考生通读该段,这样自然是得不偿失。
