Assets and Processes
World competitiveness also analyzes(0)nations combine assets and processes in the management of competitiveness. Some nations can be rich【C1】______ assets— land, population, natural resources, etc.【C2】______not necessarily competitive, e. g. , Brazil, India and Russia. On the other hand, there are nations such as Singapore, Japan and Switzerland which are【C3】______in traditional assets 【C4】______they are very competitive. They have【C5】______what economists call "the transformation process".
Japan’s performance illustrates this situation well. Since 1950, the nation has【C6】______only four Nobel Prizes in exact science and economics,【C7】______to 164 awarded to the US and 44 to Britain. In fact, none of the fundamental technological【C8】______which have changed our business lives have been discovered in Japan. The transistor, the robot, the video recorder, the computer, the fax, the compact disk, the color TV- all have been invented by companies in the US and Europe. The Japanese, however, have been extremely successful in【C9】______these products: they have【C10】______in the ability to transform an idea【C11】______a product or service more cheaply, more quickly and more effectively than their competitors. In other words, Japan’s competitiveness is process based.
The 1996 World Competitiveness Yearbook carefully distinguishes between competitiveness which【C12】______from a nation’s assets and that which is achieved through process. This crucial distinction is important,【C13】______the future seems to belong to those nations that master the transformation process(indeed, some economists refer to "the spell of natural resources" to describe the fate of asset-rich nations that become complacent). Companies usually use a similar strategy,【C14】______they focus on the value added that is generated by【C15】______processes as quality, speed, order fulfillment, mass customization, and customer satisfaction, etc.
Example:
A that B which C how D what
【C2】
选项
A、and
B、then
C、but
D、therefore
答案
C
解析
根据空的前一句所说,“Some nations canbe rich in assets”,后面却提到“not necessarilycompetitive”。所以两个分句之间是转折的关系。应该用表转折的连词but,所以正确答案是C。
