2015年12月英语六级听力题原文及答案
Passage 1
Changing technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management. Inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored the need for better coordination in organizations. Team management provides for this coordination. Team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. Although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.
When teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned to traditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occur naturally. It may need to be created.
Furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization or society it supposedly serves.
A group of individuals is not automatically a team. Therefore, teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group’s performance.
Casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperation process within teams, must be organized, promoted and managed. He believes that team cooperation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. Together, the team may then produce something new, unique, and superior to that of any one member. For this to happen, he suggests that the multicultural managers exhibit understandings of their own and others’ cultural influences and limitations. They should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertiveness.
If a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.
问题+答案:
16. What should team members do to fully realize their potential?
B) Follow closely the fast development of technology.
17. What needs to be considered for effective team management?
B) What type of personnel the team should be composed of.
18. What conclusion can we draw from what Casey says?
D) A team manager should develop a certain set skills.
