1、LanguageWhen one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of language is a history of constant change-at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Language a living growing organism, it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class orｇｒｏｕｐbut of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals ｏｒthe kitchen pots ａｎｄ　pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument ａｎｄ　a sign of civilization, ａｎｄ　who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, ａｎｄ　if possible, a little beauty.As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special ａｎｄ　immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon(old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word ｏｒｃｅｒａｎｄ　function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, ａｎｄ　a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. ａｎｄ　when some word inflections come into conflict with word order,. there may be trouble fｏｒthe users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO ｏｒWHOM ａｎｄ　ME ｏｒl. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The eighteenth century, fｏｒexample, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always ｓｅｔin ａｎｄ　grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy ａｎｄ　re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak ａｎｄ　write.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?【单选题】

A.It is generally believed that the year 1500 can be ｓｅｔas the beginning of the modern English language.

B.Some other languages had great influence on the English language at some stages of its development.

C.The English language has been ａｎｄ　still in a state of relatively constant change.

D.Many classes ｏｒgroups have contributed to the development of the English language.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据文章的内容，选项A“普遍认为1500年是现代英语的起点”在文章中没有提及，故为正确答案。文章第2句说“The history of our been a history of constant change…. at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. ”由此可以推断一些其他的语言对英语的发展有重大影响，选项B符合文章的意思。

2、Britain\'s Solo SailorEllen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money fｏｒthree years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain ａｎｄ　won the "Young Sailｏｒof the Year" award.Ellen became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of the only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite of many problems, she came the second in the race out of 24 competitors ａｎｄ　she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.Ambition ａｎｄ　determination have always been a big part of Ellen\'s personality. When she was younger, she lived in a kind of hut (棚屋) fｏｒthree years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one - way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht (游艇), slept under it while she was repairing it, ａｎｄ　then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 1997, alone fｏｒ33 days.Ellen has to learn many things, because sailing single - handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sailmaker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman ａｎｄ　cooker, She also has to be very fit, ａｎｄ　because of the dangers of sleeping fｏｒlong periods of time she\'s in the middle of the ocean, she has trained herself to sleep fｏｒabout 20 minutes at a time.ａｎｄ　she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast (桅杆) of a boat to repair the sails at four o\'clock in the morning, with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs, Ellen says: "I was exhausted when came down. It\'s hard to describe how it feels to be up there. It\'s like trying to hold onto a big pole, which fｏｒme is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time ａｎｄ　trying to shake you off".But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which is worthwhile (值得的) :"A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean ａｎｄ　having the chance to live this. I just feel lucky to be here."Ellen lived in a kind of hut fｏｒthree years ____.【单选题】

3、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.According to the passage, which of the following is true?【单选题】

A.All international managers can learn culture.

B.Business diversity is not necessary.

C.Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.

D.Most people do not know foreign culture well.

正确答案:C

答案解析:文化在商业中是一个很具挑战性的因素。不同的国家与地区可能会有不同的文化体系。在商业中，应该怎样对待不同的文化，商业界存在着不同的看法。
