For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,

2019英语六级口语考试真题练习(1) The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm—two entirely different movements. Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner’s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors： they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they

The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills. (考生准备时间45秒) Now please begin to read on hearing the beep.

Section I Listening Test(50marks) Section II Reading Comprehension(40marks) Directions:There are4reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked [A],[B],[C]and[D].You should decide on the best choice and write your answers on Answer Sheet1. Passage1 Phones are now the dominant technology with which young people,and urban youth in particular,now define themselves.What sort of phone you carry and how you customize it says a great deal about you,just as the choice of car did for a previous generation.In today's congested cities,you can no longer make a statement by pulling up outside a bar in a particular kind of car.Instead,you make a similar statement by displaying your mobile phone,with its carefully chosen ringtone,screen logo and slip cover.Mobile phones,like cars,are fashion items: in both cases,people buy new ones far more often than is actually necessary.Both are social technologies that bring people together;for teenagers,both act as symbols of independence. And cars and phones alike promote freedom and mobility,with unexpected social consequences. The design of both cars and phones started off being defined by something that was no longer there.Cars were originally horseless carriages,and early models looked suitably carriage-like;only later did car designers realize that cars could be almost any shape they wanted to make them.Similarly,mobile phones used to look much like the push-button type of fixed-line phones,only without the wire.But now they come in a bewildering range of strange shapes and sizes. Less visibly,as the structure of the mobile-phone industry changes,it increasingly resembles that of the car industry.Handset-makers,like carmakers,build some models themselves and have the design and manufacturing done by others.Specialist firms supply particular sub-assemblies in both industries.Outwardly different products are built on a handful of common underlying"platforms"in both industries,to reduce costs.In each case,branding and design are becoming more important as the underlying technology becomes increasingly interchangeable.In phones,as previously happened in cars,established western companies are facing stiff competition from nimbler Asian firms.Small wonder then that Nokia,the world's largest handset-maker,recruited its design chief,Frank Nuovo,from BMW. That mobile phones are taking on many of the social functions of cars is to be welcomed. While it is a laudable goal that everyone on earth should someday have a mobile phone,cars 2
