答案 Coping With the Knowledge Explosion Recently, the rapid development in science and technology has aroused popular attention. New technology makes engineers obsolete. Likewise, new methods of management can make executives obsolete. In such a case, how can one rise to the highest and stay there? This depends on how one copes with the knowledge explosion. To cope with the knowledge explosion, first and foremost, we must take a fresh look at the term—knowledge. Many years ago, Francis Bacon, a great philosopher, remarked that "Knowledge is power". In our social setting, this can be translated into contemporary terms, "Knowledge is change"—accelerating knowledge-acquisition, fueling the great engine of technology, and accelerating social change and development. To realize this point, we know the key to deal with knowledge explosion is to constantly renew our knowledge. The renewal of knowledge demands that we never stop growing and learning. Therefore, to handle the knowledge explosion, in fact, is to keep one growing and learning. To learn with success, we must establish at least four principles in our study: diligence, devotion, constancy and punctuality. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles that of a lazy wit. Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time, never think of learning another subject. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long run. As the saying goes, "Constant dropping wears away a stone". Constancy makes success a certainty. If we study day after day there is nothing which cannot be achieved. Besides these, the habit of keeping a regular time is of extreme importance to successful learning. To sum up, every man will certainly become successful in learning if he follows these principles. Compared with successful learning, another equally important aspect to handle the knowledge explosion is to apply the learnt knowledge to our practice and keep us growing with development of society. As a matter of fact, the men and women who rise to the highest and stay there never stop growing and learning. These flexible fellows seldom stall on the corporate ladder or get shaken off. From what has been discussed above, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that the proverb "It is never too old to learn" is true of everyone. Let us start and keep learning to catch up with social development in the age of knowledge explosion.
解析     本文首先指出“新技术淘汰工程人员，同样新管理方法淘汰管理人员”，接着巧妙运用设问句，点明主题：如何向最高目标跃升并保持这种状态?关键是成功应付知识爆炸。
    中间部分，作者从三方面进行论述。首先，我们应该以新的眼光看待知识，知识不仅是力量，在当今知识爆炸的时代，知识就是变化，因此我们不断更新知识。其．次，我们应该不断获取知识，我们必须做到学习的四原则：勤奋、专注、坚持、准时。最后，我们还应该将知识应用于实际，与时俱进。在论证过程中，作者使用了一些不定式短语来引出论点，显得句式多变，如；To cope with the knowledge explosion, to handle the knowledge explosion。作者还引用了一些名人名言、谚语来支持自己的论点，如“Knowledge is power.”，“Constant dropping wears away a stone.”这样文章就显得生动自然，论证强劲。
    文章最后一段总结全文，重申主题，对前文提到的论点进行简要概括归纳，号召我们行动起来去迎接知识时代的挑战，首尾呼应。其中谚语“It is never too old to learn.”的应用，深化了主题。
