2、CultureCulture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behaviｏｒpatterns characteristic of the members of a shaped by a ｓｅｔof dynamic variables: language, religion, values ａｎｄ　attitudes, manners ａｎｄ　customs, aesthetics, technology, education, ａｎｄ　social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual ａｎｄ　interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned； its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi ａｎｄ　McDonald\'s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life； however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailｏｒbusiness approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies ａｎｄ　procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant； the critical question centers around acceptance ｏｒrejection. The majｏｒchallenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia ｏｒeven blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent ｏｒoverseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, ａｎｄ　know your customer.This article is supposed. to be most useful fｏｒthose _____.【单选题】

A.who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity

B.who have connections to more than one type of culture

C.who want to travel abroad

D.who want to run business on International Scale

正确答案:D

答案解析:由文中的例子可以知道，不是研究多种文化形态，而是文化背景对商业运作的影响，所以D是正确答案。

3、The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, ａｎｄ　the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson fｏｒthe National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, ａｎｄ　extramarital (婚外的) affairs will be even more common than now.But what are the reasons fｏｒthis, ａｎｄ　is the picture really so gloomy (明暗的)? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based fｏｒyears partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands－as they usually didn\'t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well－paying jobs, this is no longer the case, So they don\'t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (悲观的) as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply live together ａｎｄ　don\'t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage ｏｒdivorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn\'t. ａｎｄ　it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress ａｎｄ　its consequences, such as heart problems, ａｎｄ　married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage ａｎｄ　apply it to all of our relationships!Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today? ____【单选题】

A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.

B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.

C.American people marry more than four times.

D.More ａｎｄ　more people are getting divorced.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，B的干扰最大，但是原文提到的是almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now，所以B项里，more than half，夸大了原意，所以正确答案应该是D。

4、Sleeping GiantRight now, an eruption is brewing in Yellowstone National Park. Sometime during the next two hours, the park\'s most famous geyser, Old Faithful, will begin gurgling boiling water ａｎｄ　steam. _____.Old Faithful is not only a spectacular sight； it\'s also a constant reminder that Yellowstone sits on one of the largest volcanoes in the world. If you\'ve never heard of Yellowstone\'s volcano, you\'re not alone. The volcano is so inconspicuous(不显眼的) that few people know it exists. Yet it has erupted three times during the last 2 million years. ａｎｄ　one of those eruptions spewed enough volcanic ash ａｎｄ　other debris to blanket half the United States.Yellowstone\'s volcano is sometimes called a "super volcano," ｏｒextremely large ａｎｄ　explosive caldera volcano. Three calderas make up more than a third of Yellowstone National Park. This super volcano formed over a hot spot, an extremely hot area in Earth\'s mantle. John Valley, volcano professor, said that as the crust moves across a hot spot, the hot spot melts a. section of the plate moving over it, forming "one volcano after another. "The Yellowstone hot spot melts thick continental crust, which may cause catastrophic eruptions. According to experts the eruptions that created each of the three calderas in ａｎｄ　around Yellowstone National Park were larger than any other volcanic eruption in recorded history. The most recent eruption, which happened 640,000 years ago, produced at least l,000 cubic kilometers of ash ａｎｄ　debris, which blanketed most of the western half of the United States. The first Yellowstone eruption, 2 million years ago, released more than double that amount of ash ａｎｄ　debris.Geological evidence shows Yellowstone has blown its stack every 700,000 years ｏｒso. "If nature were truly that regular ａｎｄ　reliable, we would be clue fｏｒanother eruption soon," said Valley. "However, these processes are subject to variability, so we don\'t really know when the next eruption will happen. "While the active geologist processes at Yellowstone do pose some risk to tire public, they also make it a unique treasure. It is the volcanic energy that powers the geysers ａｎｄ　hot springs, creates the mountains ａｎｄ　canyons, ａｎｄ　generates the unique ecosystems that support Yellowstone\'s diverse wildlife.【单选题】

5、Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge ｏｒexperience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty ａｎｄ　inexact command. What accounts fｏｒthis difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behaviｏｒof the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, ａｎｄ　right use of words ａｎｄ　right structure. He drinks in all the words ａｎｄ　expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures ａｎｄ　facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice ａｎｄ　snow in June ｏｒscorching heat in January. ａｎｄ　what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again ａｎｄ　again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood ａｎｄ　fulfilled.Finally, though a child\'s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close ａｎｄ　personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.Plenty of practice in listening during the first years of life partly ensures children’s success of learning their mother tongue.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:题干大意：早年大量的听力练习是儿童成功学习母语的一个原因。利用答案线索词the first years of life，我们可以很快在第二段第二句中发现相关句。该句句意：首先，一生的头几年是学习母语的最佳时间。所以该问题句的说法“正确”。

6、Fighting fｏｒa Brighter Future fｏｒWomenWhen I was asked what it means to be a woman running fｏｒpresident, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because thought I\'d be the best president.But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers ａｎｄ　biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, ａｎｄ　I want to build an America that respects ａｎｄ　embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter\'s future ａｎｄ　a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women ａｎｄ　men understａｎｄ　the struggles of their grandmothers ａｎｄ　their mothers, ａｎｄ　that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, ａｎｄ　equal respect.Let us resolve ａｎｄ　work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): there are no acceptable limits, ａｎｄ　there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21 st century in our country.You can also be so proud of it, from now on, it will be unremarkable fｏｒa woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to let a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. ａｎｄ　this is truly remarkable my friends.We are disappointed that we couldn\'t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign. It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.We always aim high, work hard, ａｎｄ　care deeply about what you believe in. ａｎｄ　when you stumble (绰倒), keep faith. And, when you\'re knocked down, get right back up ａｎｄ　never listen to anyone who says you can\'t ｏｒshouldn\'t go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman will leave the Earth ａｎｄ　orbit (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.Hillary Clinton will no longer run fｏｒpresident.【单选题】

7、Intelligent Machines1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson\'s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is authｏｒof the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines ａｎｄ　is one of the world\'s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona； the virtual (虚拟的) hostess of Kurzweil\'s homepage, who is programmed to understａｎｄ　what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, ａｎｄ　Ramona also dances ａｎｄ　sings.3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world", he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒ(探测器) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees.4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". This invention will recognize millions of words ａｎｄ　understａｎｄ　any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to trans late into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won\'t be ready fｏｒat least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.Paragraph 2 ____【单选题】

A.A new pair of eyes

B.Computers that can communicate

C.Everlasting consciousness on a computer

D.Time to break off a friendship

E.An authｏｒａｎｄ　researcher

F.A new pair of ears

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度较大，第二段没有明显的主旨句，考生需要很强的归纳概括能力。本段提到智能机器能够使电脑识别声音，和别人进行交流。回来看选项，B项Computers that can communicate，“能进行交流的电脑”，可以概括本段内容，答案是B。

8、Migrant (移民的) WorkersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency fｏｒworkers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted ａｎｄ　welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil workers from the USA ａｎｄ　Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, including South Korea ａｎｄ　Japan.In view of the difficult living ａｎｄ　working conditions in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers ａｎｄ　technicians can ______ at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, ａｎｄ　this is a majｏｒattraction .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. Fｏｒexample, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other fｏｒsafety ａｎｄ　comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex ａｎｄ　full of problems but this merely presents challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.One majｏｒproblem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy fｏｒthem to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.【单选题】

A.earn

B.borrow

C.change

D.cost

正确答案:A

答案解析:空格所在句的大概意思是：许多工程师和技术员在中东挣的工资至少是在他们自己国家的两倍，这是一个主要的吸引力。可见A项是正确答案。

9、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail ａｎｄ　listen to music at the same time? Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. ____ The law went into force last month, following research ａｎｄ　a shocking number of accidents that involved. people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. Aｇｒｏｕｐof 18 to 21 years old ａｎｄ　aｇｒｏｕｐof 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call ｏｒan instant message, the olderｇｒｏｕｐmatched the youngerｇｒｏｕｐin speed ａｎｄ　accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year, The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions ａｎｄ　recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.【单选题】

A.Talking on a cell phone while driving brings you joy anyway.

B.The estimate is based on surveys with office workers.

C.The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted.

D.However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.

E.Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited.

F.ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street.

正确答案:F

答案解析:本题难度不是很大。可用排除法和代入法。本题的上文谈到纽约新的法律规定在走路开车时不能打电话、发邮件、听音乐，下文谈到新法律发生效力的时间，所以可以推断此处会继续跟着上文展开阐述，应该讲如果你做了会导致什么结果，回来看选项，把F代入文中，符合逻辑，答案是F。
