Ineffective communication can be disastrous.There is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message“Send reinforcements， were going to advance.”back to his Command Center， through along chain of subordinates.When the message finally reached the Command Center， it had“mutated“to become-“Send three and four-pence， were going to a dance.”The reinforcements never arrived. You can demonstrate this same principle， albeit on a less dramatic scale， by trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 people.It is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with. In a business， there are three main types of communication failure.Each has its own indicative signs. The first type is a known as allocative failure.This occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or(most often) ， the information is not reaching the right points.The firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demand.If demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failure， then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing.If the inverse happens， there will be a surplus of stocks and over staffing. The second type is executive failure， where communication to trigger specific events/actions is either late， lacking or in error.The symptoms of this area general loss of direction in the company or departments， a loss of co-ordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all. The final type is human failure， This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communication.This leads to alienated staff， an increase in staff turnover， an increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staff.Creativity， especially that which takes place across departmental boundaries， is likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips. 21.Confirming reception of the sent messages means_. A.the messages are sent to right receivers B.the messages are correctly understood C.the messages are correctly understood by right receivers 答案C 22.In the famous British Army Commander story， which step probably did NOT go wrong in the communication chain? A.Conceiving. B.Sending. C.Receiving. 答案A 23.What is Chinese whispers? A.Who whispers in Chinese. B.A game to pass message around in a whisper. C.Chinese people who dont normally talk very loudly. 答案B 24.Allocative failure does NOT happen when_. A.the right information goes to the right place B.a company gathers false information C.the correct information is not received by the right department or person 答案A 25.According to the passage， which of the following cases does NOT belong to human failure? A.Decreasing creativity across departments. B.Inadequate communication between departments. C.Increasing customer complaints. 答案C 26-30题：请根据短文内容判断给出的语句是否正确，正确的写“T”，错误的写“F”，并将答案写在答题纸上。Passage 2 When Jack Welch， the Chairman and CEO at General Electric(GE) retired in 2001， he could look back at a very successful career.He became CEOin1981at the age of 45.At that time， GE had a very complex organizational structure with considerably bureaucratic rules. One of his first changes was to initiate a strategy formulation process with the guideline that each of the businesses should be number lor2in the irrespective areas.If this was not the case， managers had the options of fixing the problem， selling their particular business，or closing it.In an effort to streamline the organization， Welch removed the sector level and eliminated thousands of salaried and hourly employee positions. The restructuring was followed by changing the organizational culture and the managerial styles of GEs managers.One such program was the Work-Out(群策群力) . Groups of managers were assembled to share their views openly in three-day sessions.At the beginning of the meetings， the superior presented the challenges for his or her organizational unit.Then the superior had to leave， requesting the groups to find solutions to the problems.Facilitators(会议主持人) helped these discussions.On the last day， the superior was presented with proposed solutions.He or she then had three choices：to accept the proposal， not to accept it， or to collect more information.This process put great pressure on the superior to make decisions. Another program to improve effectiveness and efficiency was Best Practices.The aim was to learn from other companies how they obtained customer satisfaction， how they related to their suppliers， and in what ways they developed new products.This helped the GE people to focus on the processes in their operations that would improve the companys performance. Jack Welch was personally involved in developing managers at GEs training center in Crotonville.Leaders， Welch suggested， are not only those who achieve results but also those who share the values of the company. 26.Jack Welch retired at the age of 65. 答案T 27.Jack Welch insisted that each of the businesses should beat least number 3in their respective area. 答案F 28.If the business could not meet Welchs change requirements， its manager had 3 choices. 答案T 29.The restructuring went before changing the organizational culture and the managerial styles of GEs managers. 答案T 30.The Work Outlasted a week. 答案F 四、写作（共 20 分） 31.根据要求写作文。Write at least 100 words about an event caused by different understandings of the workplace culture.You may need to include the 5Ws and 1He elements.
