13、5P'sapproachtoinnovationisdifferentbecauseitallowsresearchersto

A、workformorethanonecompany.

B、workonavarietyofproducts.

C>workwithgroupsinotherorganizations.

D、workaloneaswellasinateam

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第二段谈到5P公司独特的革新方法，第三段还谈到“…theycanwork

ontheirownorinagroup"<>可见该公司允许其研究人员在公司内部单独工作，或

者在公司内部以团体形成工作。

14、MarkPetersaysitcanbedifficultforcompaniestobeinnovativebecausethis

involves

A^givingmorepowertotheaccountants.

B、employingalotofmanagers.

C、beingorderlyandorganized.

D^beingpreparedtotakerisks.

知识点解析：第一段谈到MarkPeier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。

15、When5Phasanewideaittriesto

A、sellitonlyinnewmarkets.

B、sellitinmarketsitalreadycontrols.

C、thinkofdifferentwaysofexploitingit.

D、keepitsecretaslongaspossible.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第四段提出创新是5P立足之本，而且他们"takeanideaandseehow

manyapplicationsit'sgot",此点与C含义吻合。

16、ThewritersaysthatthePost-itnotewasinventedasaresultof

A、aresearcher'sowninitiative.

B、researchcarriedoutbyagroup.

C^researchoriginallydoneonanotherproduct.

D、amanager'sinnovativeidea.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章第三段说，研究人员85%时间外来做项目；15%用来自由工

作，而posl—ilnoie正来自这15%时间。也就是说post-ilnote是个人主动开发出

的。

17、1'hcresearchersat5Pneedtobepeoplewho

A、feelrelaxedabouttheirwork.

B、haveanindividualapproachtoproblems.

C>arcacademicallygifted.

D、arewillingtostaywiththecompanyforalongtime.

标准答案：B

anindividualapproachloproblems含义一致。

18,5PseesthePacingPlusprogramas

A、somethingothercompaniesarelikelytocopy.

B、anopportunitytotakeoversomeofitscompetition.

C>adeparturefromitspreviousapproach.

D、awayofsolvingcertainproblems.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：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都leadtotheestablishmentofcompletelynewbusiness。可见

5P是把pacingplusprogram看做是和先前工作方法的脱钩。
