问题     No one word demonstrated the shift in corporations’ attention in the mid-1990s from processes to people more vividly than the single word "talent".【C1】________the word lies the idea that more and more corporate【C2】________is going to be created by knowledge and by so-called "knowledge workers".【C3】________labour is worth less; knowledge is worth more.
    This has significantly shifted the balance of power in the【C4】________process. Companies used to be relaxed about finding enough qualified people to【C5】________their operations. What they could not find they would train, was the【C6】________attitude. That might take some time, but in a world where people【C7】________jobs for life time was in the company’s favour. But talent is not patient, and it is not faithful. Many companies found themselves training employees【C8】________for them to go on and sell their acquired skills to their【C9】________. So now they look for talent that is ready-made.
    In their eagerness to【C10】________this talent, companies have gone to considerable lengths to appear especially attractive. They have,【C11】________, devoted a great deal of effort to the【C12】________of their websites, often the first port of call these days for bright young【C13】________recruits. They have in many cases【C14】________their HR departments, in part so that they can【C15】________their compensation packages more finely for the individuals that they really require. And they have altered their approach to issues such as governance and environmental responsibility【C16】________they know that many of the talented people they are seeking want to work for ethical and【C17】________employers.
    Talented people increasingly want to work in places where they can feel good about what they do for most of the day. What’s more, in today’s knowledge-based businesses, these young people are far more【C18】________their working environment, of "what’s going on around here", than were their grandparents. It is harder for today’s businesses to【C19】________from their employees what they are【C20】________to—even when, as in cases such as Enron and WorldCom, they put a lot of effort into it.
【C3】
选项 A、Human
B、Orthodox
C、Inferior
D、Manual
答案D
解析 此空格需要填入修饰labour的形容词，且语义上与并列句的主语knowledge相对。在当今知识时代。显然手工劳动创造的价值比知识创造的价值更低，manual labour指“手工劳动”，故D项Manual为答案。human labour“人力劳动”包含各种人类劳动，其中也包括手工劳动，但其范围大，不能笼统地说其创造的价值低，A项Human不能选。B项Orthodox“正统的”通常与宗教相关，也可用来形容信念、态度、行为标准等是传统的，但与labour无法搭配。劳动没有贵贱之分，“低级劳动”显然不能随便用于书面文章中，排除C项Inferior“低级的”。
