19、耐基思想、增长率、或者积极思索力量等观点是西方开拓高智能的方法，而我们是通过深思冥想来和高智能联系的。 写作方法与文章大意 这是一篇新闻报导，叙述印度尼西亚商人如何经营公司。主要采纳一般到详细写作手法。一开头就点明他们以独特的方式不看文件，不听汇报，而是闭上眼睛深思，向古代帝王的精灵请示来经营。这种神奇主义几乎涉及印尼生活的各个领域，商业也不例外。后面每段都围绕这一主题而写。其次段写来源。第三段，应用于商业方面的详细例子，第四段，和西方治理方法比照。 答案详解 1. C 深思。这在第一断已有说明。 A. 神奇主义。是个总的概念，覆盖生活各方面。而不是详细的做法和重要因素。 B. 宗教。 D.

20、投资。 2. A 爪哇古代帝王之精灵。答案在第一段。 B. Wali Ullah是指印度穆斯林商人。这些虔诚的商人叫做Wali Ullah或者成为接近主的人。传奇神话也把先知的力气归功于Wali Ullah。C. 老帝王。D. 卡耐基，1835-1919是生于苏格兰的美国钢铁工业家和慈善家。他有一套治理企业的方法，称为卡耐基思想(治理法)。 3. B 他们也重视资格、才能。这在第三段中其次行起，商人 Hadisiko讲话清晰说明“假如我们要雇佣治理人员，我们就一起深思，经常会有这种信息降临：这个人不能治理钱财或者他不行靠。也可能神灵告知我们应当雇佣他。接着他匆忙补充说他的公司也采纳现代人事治理

B 得到冷静头脑来决策。这在第三段后半局部讲到。“远景的投资也是通过神奇的深思加以考虑。有着放松和开放的头脑，易于客观地推断新投资的风险。深思和过去首领的接触会是你的洞察力和感官变得敏锐。”第一段第五行“其中一位深思者说每星期的深思会主要目标是带来一个安静的头脑，作出好决策。” A. 从上帝那里得到利润。 C. 取得先知。不对，先知的力量归于Wali Ullah。D. 得到客观的结论。文内只提到，头脑放松简单客观地推断投资风险与否，并不是客观的结论。 5. B 没有深思和斋戒的常规作生意。见第三段中，神奇的深思帮忙扭转公司生意滑坡而正常买卖步骤，这一年就损失了300万美元。这两句比照的话说明B项内容。 A. 采纳西方买卖方式(交易方式)。文内没有点明正常就是西方方式。C. 和上帝接触。D. 知人善任。 【大学英语四级阅读选择题总分值练习】
