Passage 1
Doing business beyond our borders is now commonplace. Procter & Gamble is selling disposable
diapers
in
Asia;
Rubbermaid
would
like
to
see
its
plastic
products
in
all
European
kitchens;
and
Unilever promotes its detergents around the world. As markets expand, national boundaries mean less
and
less.
When
the
German
manufacturer
Daimler-Benz,
makers
of
Mercedes
luxury cars,
merges
with Chrysler, one executive commented:
only successful and unsuccessful companies.
To
be
successful
in
this
interdependent
global
village,
North
American
companies
are
increasingly
finding
it
necessary
to
adapt
to
other
cultures.
In
China
and
Korea,
Procter
&
Gamble
learned to promote unisex white diapers. Although North Americans preferred pink for girls and blue
for boys, Korean and Chinese housewives don't like the idea. In a society where intense sexism favors
boys, shoppers preferred white diapers that did not signal their child's sex.
What's caused
this
rush
toward
globalization
of
markets
and
blurring
of
national
identities?
One significant factor is the passage of favorable trade agreements. The
General Agreement on Tariffs
and
Trade
(GATT)
promotes
open
trade
globally,
while
North
American
Free
Trade
Agreement
(NAFTA)
expands
free
trade
among
Canada,
the
United
States,
and
Mexico.
NAFTA
created
the
largest and richest free-trade region on earth. The opening of Eastern Europe and the economic growth
in Russia have also fueled the progress toward expanding world markets.
1.
According to the passage, more and more companies
A) are expanding their overseas markets
B) are selling goods to Eastern Asia
C) are doing business with European countries
D) are benefiting from NAFTA
A) there are fewer and fewer conflicts between countries
B) there is no boundary between different countries
C) there are more and more successful companies
D) there are more and more multinational corporations
A) for people there don't like pink color
B) because people there think it unnecessary to use different colors
C) because it wants to cut down the costs
D) because it has to cater to the local people's demands
A) China and Korea
2.
It follows that as market expands,
3.
P & G only sells white diaper in China and Korea
4.
NAFTA
covers
B) Canada and Germany
C) the U. S. and Mexico
D) Britain and the U. S.
A)
The economic growth in Russia.
B)
The passage of favorable trade agreements.
C)
The differences in consuming habits that people have.
D)
D) Eastern European countries' open-door policies.
5.
Which is not listed as a factor contributing to the growth of world markets?
Passage 2
V
erbal
skills
in
another
culture
can
generally
be
mastered
if
one
studies
hard
enough.
But
nonverbal
skills
are
much
more
difficult
to
learn.
Nonverbal
behaviors
mainly
include
eye
contact,
facial
expression,
posture,
gestures,
and the
use
of
time, space,
and
territory. The messages sent
by
body language and the way we arrange time and space have always been open to interpretation. When
cultures differ, it becomes very difficult to understand nonverbal behaviors.
In western cultures,
for
example,
people
perceive
silence
as
a
negative
trait(
品质
).
It suggests
rejection,
unhappiness,
depression,
regret,
embarrassment,
or
ignorance.
However,
the
Japanese
admire silence and consider it a key to success. A
Japanese proverb says,
do not
speak; those who speak do not know.
Gestures can also create different reactions in different cultures and thus one must be careful in
using and interpreting them. In some societies it
is extremely bad pointing one's finger as in giving
directions.
Other
hand
gestures
can
also
cause
trouble.
The
up
symbol
may
be
used
to
indicate approval in many countries, but in Iran and Ghana it is a vulgar (
粗俗的
) gesture.
As
businesspeople
increasingly
interact
with
their
counterparts
from
other
cultures,
they
will
become more aware of these differences. Some behaviors are easy to warn against, such as touching
people from the Middle East with the left hand. However, learning all of them is impossible, and such
lists are merely the tip of the cultural iceberg.
6.
Non- verbal behaviors don't include
A) posture
B) facial expressions
C) making an address
D) the use of space
7.
Differences in _____________ will lead to differences in communications.
A) cultures
B) languages
C) verbal skills
D) habits
8.
The Japanese agree that silence is associated with
A) good manner
B) unhappiness
C) depression
D) little knowledge
9.
It can not be inferred from the passage that
A) different cultures have different interpretations of similar gestures
B) it is good for the businesspeople to know of the different meanings of similar gestures
C) western cultures are distinctively different from oriental cultures
D) nonverbal behaviors are more complicated than verbal behaviors
10.
We may not find______________ in the cultural iceberg.
A) those verbal skills people may use
B) the cultural dos and don'ts
C) those nonverbal skills used by people
D) the good hygienic habits people have
Passage 3
Add
Littleton,
Colorado,
to
the
list
of
cities
dazed
with
grief
after
a
school
slaughter.
Two
students shot and killed 12 other students and a teacher before taking their own lives. The massacre
was the largest in the history of this nation. This type of crime didn't exist 10 years ago.
Americans should
stop
acting surprised
that
these
shooting
happen
in
neighborhoods.
That's
the
only
place
they
happen.
None
of
the
recent
school
massacres
took
place
at
an
inner-city
campus;
they
all
occurred
in
smaller
towns
or
suburbs.
(S3)
These
killers
haven't
been
from
impoverished or extremely violent families. They don't appear to have been picked on
（挨骂受罚）
any worse than kids have been for generations. They chose alienation and destruction, and they found
the tools to carry out their hate-filled plan.
Do not blame schools for these massacres. Schools simply take what they are sent. Question the
killers' parents. The parents
are supposed to teach their children respect and empathy for others' lives.
Parents should help their offspring learn to handle taunt or conflict without resorting to violence.
All
concerned
adults
should
take
a
youth's
threat
to
shoot
someone
as
seriously
as
airport
security guards take jokes about bombs. Students must be encouraged to tell teachers if a classmate
threatens
or
jokes
about
violence.
Administrators
at
schools
around
the country
need
to
emphasize
they will take such reports seriously, and that they will not identify any student who comes forward
with such a report.
More gun regulations probably won't stop these shootings, but gun owners and sellers must take
more
responsibility
for
keeping
weapons
away from
young
people.
Gun
owners
should
keep
their
guns
unloaded,
locked
up
and
hidden
away.
Most car
owners
don't
leave
their
keys
in
the car
even
when they park in their own garage; gun owners should be at least as careful with weapons.
The federal government can't solve this problem. Schools alone can't solve it. More guns won't
solve it. Americans must consciously create a culture that makes violence unacceptable. Parents need
to stop allowing their children's minds to be polluted with violence. News media need to show more
restraint and thought about how and what they report.
The Colorado massacre is a national tragedy. More's the pity if Americans do not stop, reflect
and vow to make it the last school massacre.
11.
One common feature of all the recent school massacres is that ______________________.
A) they have all been carefully planned by hateful youngsters
B) the killers have all failed to passed their exams
C) they all occur in places that appear to be all right
D) the killers are all from disadvantaged families
A) their parents succeed in teaching them respect and empathy for others' lives
B) they study hard in school and get high scores
C) teachers stop telling meaningless jokes in class
D) they follow the rules set by administrators at schools around the country
A) School authorities.
B) The federal government.
C) News media.
D) The killers' parents.
12.
Children are less likely to become killers if _______________________.
13.
Who does the author think should take the main responsibility for campus shootings?
14.
What is the most effective way to prevent school massacre from happening again?
A) Reinforcing stricter laws and regulations.
B) Introducing security guards onto campus.
C) Creating a culture that makes violence unacceptable.
D) Keeping weapons away from young people.
A) there were a lot of school massacres in inner-cities 10 years ago
B) many people turn a blind eye to school massacre
C) a youth's joke about violence is often ignored by other people
D) most gun owners like to leave their guns in their cars
15.
From the passage we can infer that ___________________________.
Passage 4
The Baroque era witnessed the development of a major innovation in music -- opera, drama that
is
sung
to
orchestral
accompaniment.
By
combining
music,
acting,
poetry,
dance,
scenery
,
and
costumes, this unique fusion of many arts creates a theatrical experience of overwhelming excitement
and emotion. Since its beginnings in Italy around 1600, opera has spread to many countries, and even
today it remains a powerful form of musical theater.
An opera's characters and plot are revealed through song, rather than the speech used in ordinary
drama. Once we accept this conversation, opera offers great pleasure; its music both delights the ear
and
heightens
the
emotional
effect
of
the
words
and
story.
Music
makes
even
a
complicated
plot
believable by depicting mood, character, and dramatic action. It's the flow of the music that carries the
plot forward. In opera, the music is the drama.
Opera demands performers who can sing and act simultaneously. On stage are star solo singers,
secondary
soloists,
a
chorus,
and
sometimes
dancers
--
all
in
costume.
Besides
the
chorus
of
professional singers there may be
wine,
and
generally
add
to
the
opera's
effect.
In
the
orchestra
pit
are
the
instrumentalists
and
the
conductor, whose awesome responsibility is to hold everything together. A
large opera's personnel, in
fact, may reach a startling total of several hundred people.
16.
Opera first appeared
A) in the Baroque era
B) in France
C) in Rome
D) in the 15th century or so
A) Combination.
B) Utilization.
C) Adoption.
D) Practice.
A) the former enjoys higher prestige
B) the latter caters to more people
C) the former carries on with singing
D) the latter is more often adapted to the big screen
A) speech
17.
What is the meaning of
18.
One difference between opera and ordinary drama is that
19.
According to the passage, the most important element in opera is
B) music
C) acting
D) setting
A) are the most important role
B) do many things
C) perform superbly
D) are the professional singers
20.
Passage 5
As a century of grand retailing comes to a close, the 94-year-old
--
who turned Neiman Marcus from a small specialty shop into one of the world's major retail stores
--
says department stores today must recreate themselves if they are to survive.
Marcus
is
worried
that
customer
service
is
being
ignored.
He
considers
home
shopping
networks
沿街叫卖的小贩
).
in selling over the Internet, he says it is no substitute for a good salesperson.
Today
,
as
head
of
his
own
Dallas
consultancy (
咨询
)
firm,
Marcus
is
moving
into
the
next
century advocating (
提倡
) the same philosophy he held throughout the 20th century: focus on quality
and service, and sales will take care of themselves.
who still
makes
regular
visits
to
the flagship
Neiman
Marcus store
in
downtown
Dallas, where
he
looks over new fashion lines, examines the latest fine imported luggage and greets young salespeople
eager to talk with him.
one will be remembered for years. If you force a bad buy on a customer, he will never forgive you.
Marcus puts much of the blame on business schools for what he sees as a lack of quality
-- and
vitality -- in department stores. He says the schools are turning out graduates who are excellent money
managers and cost cutters, but who lack the skills that helped make the great stores like Macy's, and
his
own,
into
retailing
legends. The
MBA
programs
do
not
teach
principles
of
selling,
principles
of
human
understanding,
principles
of
leadership
speaking,
which,
he
believes,
is
the
most
important
thing.
ou train dogs
and bears to do repetitive action. But with people, you educate them, because no amount of training
takes the place of experience that enables them to answer all the questions that customers will ask.

D) Training is aimed at action while educating is aimed at answering questions.
25.
What is the major difference between training and educating according to Marcus?
Passage 6
Recently, one of my best friends Jennie, with whom I have shared just about everything since the
first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago,
we have both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over
the weekend, we spent
hours
and
hours, staying
up
late
into
the
night, talking
about
the
people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about
how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She
told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see
this
guy
because they
didn't want
her
around
him.
No
matter
how
hard I
tried
to
tell
her
that
she
deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was
getting nowhere. I just couldn’t beli
eve that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch
of losers, especially her boy friend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been
so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had
just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the
ultimate test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that
I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer
anything.
A
few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and
then she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend. I just listened on the other end of the
phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life.
Never had I been so proud of a friend.
26. What word best sums up Jennie's boy friend?
A) A
drug user.
B) A
loser.
C) A
trouble maker.
D) A
criminal.
27. What was the attitude of Jennie's parents towards her relationship with her boy friend?
A) They were rather tolerant.
