    It is strange that the number of British institutions offering MBA courses should have grown by 256 percent during a period when the economy had been sliding into deeper recession. Optimists, or those given to speedy assumptions, might think it marvelous to have such a resource of business school graduates ready for the recovery. 【R1】______
    What was taken some years ago as a ticket of certain admission to success is now being exposed to the examination of cost-conscious employers who feel that academia has not been sufficiently appreciative of the needs of industry or of the employers’ possible contribution.
    It is curious, given the name of the degree, that there should be no league table for UK business schools; no agreement about what the degree should include; and no agreed system of accreditation. Surely there is something wrong. 【R2】______
    Perhaps companies that made large investments would have been wiser to invest In already existing managers, perched anxiously on their own internal ladders. The Institute of Management’s survey, which revealed that eighty-one percent of managers thought they would be more effective if they received more training, suggests that this might be the case.【R3】______They need the inherent qualification of character; a degree of self-subjugation; and, above all, the ability to communicate and lead; more so now, when empowerment is a buzzword that is at least generating obedience, if not total conviction.
    【R4】______We may therefore, not need to be too concerned about the fall in applications for business school places, or even the doubt about MBAs.【R5】______If the Management Charter Initiative, now exploring the introduction of a senior management qualification, is successful, there will be a powerful corrective.
    【R6】______One hopes there will be some of that in the relationship between management and science within industry, currently causing concern and which is overdue for attention. No one doubts that we need more scientists and innovation to give us an edge in an increasingly competitive world. If scientists feel themselves undervalued and under-used, working in industrial slums, that is not a promising sign for the future. 【R7】______
    Above all, we have to make sure that management is not itself too proud of its status and that it does not issue mission statements about communication without realizing that the essence of it is a dialogue. 【R8】______
A. One wonders where all the tutors for this massive infusion of business expertise came from and why all this mushrooming took place.
B. Unfortunately, there is now much doubt about the value of the degree.
C. We believe now that management is all about change.
D. It seems we have to resolve these misapprehensions between science and industry.
E. More empowerment is required—and we should strive to achieve it.
F. The surge and subsequent questioning may have been an inevitable evolution.
G. There is, too, the fact that training alone does not make successful managers.
H. One can easily think of people, some comparatively uneducated, who are now lauded captains of industry.
【R1】
选项
答案B
解析 第1段提出，英国在经济下滑的情况下，却出现了学习MBA课程人数猛增的奇怪现象。空格前的句子说，也许有人会认为这是好事情。注意这里的语气“might think it marvelous…”，暗含转折的意思。而B句紧承上文，转折引出全文的主旨。第2段是对B句的进一步阐释。
