Ineffective communication can be disastrous.There is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message“Send reinforcements， were going to advance.”back to his Command Center， through along chain of subordinates.When the message finally reached the Command Center， it had“mutated”to become“Send three and four-pence，were going to a dance.”The reinforcements never arrived. You can demonstrate this same principle， albeit on a less dramatic scale， by trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 people.It is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with. In a business， there are three main types of communication failure.Each has its own indicative signs. The first type is known as allocative failure.This occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or(most often) ， the information is not reaching the right points.The firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demand.If demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failure， then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing. If the inverse happens， there will be a surplus of stocks and over staffing. The second type is executive failure，where communication to trigger specific events/actions is either late， lacking or in error.The symptoms of this area general loss of direction in the company or departments， a loss of co-ordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all. The final type is human failure.This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communication.This leads to alienated staff， an increase in staff turnover， an increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staff.Creativity， especially that which takes place across departmental boundaries， is likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips. 21.Confirming reception of the sent messages means A.the messages are sent to right receivers B.the messages are correctly understood C.the messages are correctly understood by right receivers 答案C 22.In the famous British Army Commander story， which step probably did NOT go wrong in the communication chain? A.Conceiving. B.Sending. C.Receiving. 答案A 23.What is Chinese whispers? A.Who whispers in Chinese. B.A game to pass message around in a whisper. C.Chinese people who dont normally talk very loudly. 答案B 24.Allocative failure does NOT happen when A.the right information goes to the right place B.a company gathers false information C.the correct information is not received by the right department or person 答案A 25.According to the passage， which of the following cases does NOT belong to human failure? A.Decreasing creativity across departments. B.Inadequate communication between departments. C.Increasing customer complaints. 答案C 2020年7月試題及答案 三、閱讀理解(每小題4分，共40分) 21-25題：閱讀下列短文，從A、B、C三個選項中選出一個正確答案，并將答案序號寫在答題紙上。Passage 1 If theres one word that captures the essence of what is occurring in the world today，its“change.”Downsizing， reorganizing， and cutting costs， are now the norm for survival.No industry is exempt.Even the most conservative institutions are undergoing significant change just to survive.

Planning Planning involves deciding where to take a company and selecting steps to get there.It first requires managers to be aware of challenges facing their businesses， and then it requires managers to forecast future business and economic conditions，They then formulate objectives to reach by certain deadlines and decide on steps to reach them.They re-evaluate their plans as conditions change and make adjustments as necessary. Organizing Managers organize by bringing together physical， human and financial resources to achieve objectives.They identify activities to be accomplished， classify activities， assign activities to groups or individuals， create responsibilities and delegate authority.They then coordinate everything so operations run smoothly.
