真题2 TEST 1 听力PART 3 （2011.05.31） Man: Who are the managers of the best innovation developments in British industry? That was the question which the first Business Today innovation awards set out to answer. This project is all about rewarding good practice and performance. 男：谁是英国工业最具备革新发展的领导者？《今日第一商业革新奖》着手解答这个问题。这个项目都是关于奖励良好的实践和成绩的公司。 So, rather than simply recognizing excellence in the design of specific products, or analyzing their financial impact on profits, the awards set out to take an objective look at exactly how companies manage the development process itself. 因此，与其简单的认可在设计特殊产品优异成绩，或者分析他们的财政对利益产生的影响，倒不如用这个奖项着手设置一个客观看待公司怎样彻底管理自己开发的程序。 Over three hundred and fifty organizations entered the competition and were initially reduced to about forty. Then after further careful checking, a short list of just fourteen of them was arrived at. 超过350个组织参加比赛，初赛淘汰到大约40个。然后经过更加细致的筛选，一个只有14个组织的候选名单产生。 These finalists, all manufacturers, were then visited by the competition judges, a panel of four chief executives from leading companies. 然后，一个来自领先公司的CEO组成的评判团访问了这些参加决赛的生产厂商。 The panel toured the finalists facilities, received presentations on the companies and their projects, and interviewed the key development team members. 小组参观决赛单位的设施，倾听公司里的演讲和项目，与开发团队的重要成员会谈。 The products varied enormously in their scale, function and degree of technology-from bread for a supermarket chain to a printer inside an automatic cash dispenser. 产品在尺寸、功能和技术等级上各不相同，—从连锁超市的面包到自动取款机内的打印机。 Initially the organizers were concerned that this range could create difficulties in the assessment process. 最初组织担心这个范围会使评估程序产生困难。 But this fear proved baseless, as most elements in the innovation process are shared by all manufacturers. 但是这种恐惧证明是无根据的，因为革新程序的大多数因素是与所有制造商分享资源。 Interestingly, the finalists broke down into two distinct and equal groups: large firms with one thousand employees or more and small firms with two hundred and fifty employee or fewer. 有趣的是，决赛候选人明确的分成了明显不同而又相等的两个团队：多于一千人的大公司和少于两百五十人的小公
