5.I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on"two-hour business plans".I separated them into six groups and gave them an example:a restaurant chain.The more original their idea,the better,I said.Finally,five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains.The sixth proposed a catering(餐飲) service.Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult,I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers,financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies.They were not without talent or opinions,but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness.The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years'teaching at the school.Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review.Case study debates were written up and just memorized.Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy,better than inventing and creating.
In China,every product you can imagine has been made and sold.But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind,partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established.And then there's the"thousand-talent scheme":this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money.But there are worries about China's research environment.It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness,and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last,for China,becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities.Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively.It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds.It's not that simple.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇教育類夾敘夾議文章,講述了作者通過教學發(fā)現教育存在的問題-有了豐富的學習環(huán)境,及新的學習方法,才能有創(chuàng)造性的研究氛圍.
解答 68.D.判斷推理題.根據文章第二段"Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy,better than inventing and creating";可知學生結合知識和批判性思維解決問題不被認為是缺乏創(chuàng)作;故選D.
69.C.詞義猜測題.第五段的第2句"this new government program"中this 指代前面的"thousand-talent scheme",而scheme和 program為同義詞,C中project 為program同義詞;故選C.
70.B.推理判斷題.文中沒有直接表達出來,根據最后一句得出,"even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this."中this 指的是China's learning environment存在的問題即problem,也是指It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness這個問題;故選B.
71.A.主旨判斷題.從整體和最后一段判斷,整篇文章是講關于教育出現的問題-有了豐富的學習環(huán)境,及新的學習方法,才能有創(chuàng)造性的研究氛圍;故選A.
