Those involved with personal selling will find that speaking the local language isn"t optional but a requirement for success. Besides just being able to get the basic information across to the customer, a salesperson also communicates the company"s dedication to the marketplace. All salespeople face an uphill battle when trying to promote a product, but those without the requisite language skills may find that the hill is almost nguage skills will also come into play when advertising and promotional collateral(brochures, manuals, business cards)are translated. A poorly worded document or mistranslated slogan can sink a sales effort before it even starts.(Wanting to assure their Belgian target audience of the sturdiness of their vehicles, General Motors" marketeers once translated their slogan of "Body by Fisher" into Flemish. The resulting translation read more like "Corpse by Fisher" with embarrassing results. One could question whether, even if it had been properly translated, the slogan would have had the desired effect on the Belgian consumers.)The choice of brand names will also rely heavily on how the translation or logo design will play in the new market.Prior to distribution, all translated advertising and promotional materials should be reviewed numerous times by native speakers to uncover potential problems. All administrative and sales personnel who will be working regularly in the target market must have a degree of fluency that will permit their marketing skills to be effective over the long-term.Understanding the target culture is a continuing difficulty, even for major global market players. Pundits may be claiming that the world is becoming more and more homogenized, but there"s only scant evidence of it in marketing. Cultural challenges are perceptual, and perception changes regularly. Having a firm understanding of what a culture was like a decade ago is of practically no use today. Cultural research must be continually updated if advertising and promotions are to work.Even cultures that have had a long-term relationship with each other can have difficulty communicating. For instance, though the Paris-based House of Chanel has been a name brand in the United States for many decades, they were unable to reach the American market with an ad that was hugely successful in Europe. The now-famous Egoistefragrance ad—featuring women screaming out the brand name from the windows of a Riviera hotel —made very little sense to the U. S. consumer. The ad was just " too French" for the United States and demonstrates a lack of market research. Another Chanel advertising campaign, this one for the Coco line, featured scantily clad European pop star Vanessa Paradis swinging on a trapeze inside of a birdcage. This ad was quite successful, even though few in the U. S. market knew who Ms. Paradis was. In this case, the sexual nature of the advertisement crossed the cultural line. The same ad, however, would have been banned in much of Asia and the Middle East.Very few advertising campaigns succeed in crossing cultural lines on a global basis. Certain categories of products are more easily "globalized" than others. Those that become part of a "lifestyle"(beverages, clothing, personal care, food)are the most common cultural crossers. Thus, Budweiser, Levis, Lancome, and Mars have all had an easy time making cultural inroads. Because these "lifestyle enhancers" are positioned by the "image" they create, they are intentionally directed at youth, who often prefer to separate themselves from the dominant local culture. Advertising schemes that have the greatest chance of succeeding globally exhibit the following attributes: simplicity, directness, humor and clever imagery. All four components should be as broad as possible in composition for the ad to have universal appeal.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 35.汉译英__________________________________________________________________________________________ 36.推进经济结构战略性调整是加快转变经济发展方式的主攻方向。

This can result in surprising decisions. There was a time when some people regarded workers in England as lazy and careless, but I recognized that England has a very strong appreciation of craftsmanship and tradition, so wepurchased a high-end footwear company, Church’s shoes. People in Italy thought this was crazy.Our first challenge was to decide what to do with the factories. Church’sowned a plant in the middle of Northampton that employed 600 people, and the smart move appeared to be to relocate it out of town, which would give us more space at less cost. But when I visited the factory, I saw that peopl e’s lives were organizedaround its location. Most employees lived nearby and would go home for lunch. If we moved them out of town, we’d be robbing them of an hour at home and forcing them to bring sandwiches to work. Their quality of life would be compromised, and they wouldn’t be getting anything in return. So we kept the factory in town.That decision has paid dividends. We retained nearly all the company’s veryhardworking and talented people, who have rewarded us with increased productivity. And we’ve proved a larger point: English workers are both cheaper and more industrious than Continental workers.You could say that work is about duties. People have a duty to work hardfor me, but I have a duty to respect them as individuals. Another duty I have is to help them learn. That’s a duty I owe to the company as well as to my employees, because a company whose managers take seriously the obligation to help their people improve will be a lot more competitive. Prada is rather good at developing talented employees. Many of our senior managers joined us as young people, and many of the people who have left us have gone on to launch successful businesses of their own.2.

K. Rowling’s seventeenth-century house, in Edinburgh, are about twenty feet tall. They reach higher than the street lamps in front of them, and evoke the entrance to the spiteful maze in the film adaptation of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, “ the fourth volume of her fantasy series. Rowling, who at forty-seven, is about to publish her first novel for adults—it is set in a contemporary Britain familiar with Jay-Z and online pornography, but is shaded with memories of her own, quite cheerless upbringing—lives here with her second husband, Neil Murray, a doctor, and their children. She has a reputation for reserve: for being likable but shy and thin-skinned, and not at all comfortable with the personal impact of having created a modern myth, sold four hundred and fifty million books, and inspired more than six hundred thousand pieces of Harry Potter fan fiction, a total that increases by at least a thousand stories a week.正确答案：J．K．罗琳住在爱丁堡一座十七世纪的房子里，周围满是针叶树，差不多6．1米高，比它们前面的街灯还要高，很容易让人想起罗琳第四部小说《哈利·波特与火焰杯》的改编电影中神秘莫测的学校入口。

The primary engines behind this phenomenon were the four major emerging-market countries, known as the BRICs: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The world was witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime shift, the argument went, in which the major players in the developing world were catching up to or even surpassing their counterparts in the developed world.These forecasts typically took the developing world's high growthrates from the middle of the last decade and extended them straight into the future, juxtaposing them against predicted sluggish growthin the United States and other advanced industrial countries. Such exercises supposedly proved that, for example, China was on the verge of overtaking the United States as the world's largest economy-apoint that Americans clearly took to heart, as over 50 percent of them, according to a Gallup poll conducted this year, said they think that China is already the world's "leading" economy, even though the U.S. economy is still more than twice as large (and with a per capita income seven times as high).As with previous straight-line projections of economic trends, however-such as forecasts in the 1980s that Japan would soon be number one economically-later returns are throwing cold water on the extravagant predictions. With the world economy heading for its worst year since 2009, Chinese growth is slowing sharply, from doubledigits down to seven percent or even less. And the rest of the BRICs are tumbling, too: since 2008, Brazil's annual growth has droppedfrom 4.5 percent to two percent; Russia's, from seven percent to 3.5 percent; and India's, from nine percent to six percent.None of this should be surprising, because it is hard to sustainrapid growth for more than a decade. The unusual circumstances of the last decade made it look easy: coming off the crisis-ridden 1990s and fueled by a global flood of easy money, the emerging markets took off in a mass upward swing that made virtually every economy a winner. By 2007, when only three countries in the world suffered negative growth, recessions had all but disappeared from the international scene. But now, there is a lot less foreign money flowing into emerging markets. The global economy is returning to its normal state of churn, with many laggards and just a few winners rising in unexpected places. The implications of this shift are striking, because economic momentum is power, and thus the flow of money to rising stars will reshape the global balance of power.【译文出自网络，仅供参考】为何“其它国家”停止增长？全球经济中提到最多的趋势是所谓的“其它国家”的崛起。

2013年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案试题部分：Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.It didn’t take long for Manuel García Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything — and there was work that needed to be done.But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to c lose down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up.And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain — young and old — do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.“I t was an initiative from them,” said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm o f Spain’s troubles. Just as Spain’s national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns.But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. García says his phone rings regularly from other town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as are the town’s two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job.“We lived beyond our means,” Mr. García said. “We invested in public works that weren’t sensible. We are in technical bankruptcy.” Even some money from the European Union that was supposed to be used for routine operating expenses and last until 2013 has already been spent, he said.Higuera de la Serena, a cluster of about 900 houses surrounded by farmland, andtraditionally dependent on pig farming and olives, got swept up in the giddy days of the construction boom. It built a cultural center and invested in a small nursing home. But the projects were plagued by delays and cost overruns.The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank. But the rest of the debt is mostly the unpaid bills of a town that was not keeping up with its expenses. It owes for medical supplies, for diesel fuel, for road repair, for electrical work, for musicians who played during holidays.Higuera de la Serena is not completely without workers. It still has a half-time librarian, two half-time street cleaners, someone part-time for the sports complex, a secretary and an administrator, all of whom are paid through various financing streams apart from the town. But the town once had a work force twice the size. And when someone is ill, volunteers have to step in or the gym and sports complex —open four hours a day — must close.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) Translate the following passage into English.10 年来，中国经济持续快速发展，经济实力、综合国力、人民生活水平迈上新的台阶，国家面貌发生举世瞩目的历史性变化，为促进亚洲和世界经济增长作出了重要贡献。

Stroll through the farmers’ market and you will hear a plethora of languages and see a rainbow of faces. Drive down Canyon Road and stop for halal meat or Filipino pork belly at adjacent markets. Along the highway, browse the aisles of a giant Asian supermarket stocking fresh napa cabbage and mizuna or fresh kimchi. Head toward downtown and you’ll see loncheras — taco trucks —on street corners and hear Spanish bandamusic. On the city’s northern edge, you can sample Indian chaat. Welcome to Beaver ton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon’s fastest growing immigrant population. Once a **munity, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largest city in Oregon —with immigration rates higher than those of Portland, Oregon’s largest city. Best known as the world headquarters for athletic **pany Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou. Beaverton’s wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos. In 1960, Beaverton’s population of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000, Beaverton had proportionately more Asian and Hispanic residents than the Portland metro area. Today, **prise 10 percent and Hispanics 11 percent of Beaverton’s population. Mayor Denny Doyle says that many in Beaverton view the immigrants who are rapidly reshaping Beaverton as a source of enrichment. “Citizens here especially in the arts and **munity thin k it’s fantastic that we have all these different possibilities here,” he says. Gloria Vargas, 50, a Salvadoran immigrant, owns a popular small restaurant, Gloria’s Secret Café, in downtown Beaverton. “I love Beaverton,” she says. “I feel like I belong here.” Her mother moved her to Los Angeles as a teenager in 1973, and she moved Oregon in 1979. She landed a coveted vendor spot in the Beaverton Farmers Market in 1999. Now in addition to running her restaurant, she has one of the most popular stalls there, selling up to 200 Salvadoran tamales —wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks —each Saturday. “Once they buy my food, they **e back for more,” she says. “It’s pretty relaxed here,” says Taj Suleyman, 28, born and raised in Lebanon, and recently transplanted to Beaverton to start a job working with immigrants from many countries. Half Middle Eastern and half African, Suleyman says he was attracted to Beaverton specifically because of its diversity. He serves on a city-sponsored Diversity Task Force set up by Mayor Doyle. Mohammed Haque, originally from Bangladesh, finds Beaverton very welcoming. His daughter, he boasts, was even elected her high school’s **ing queen. SouthAsians such as Haque have transformed Bethany, a neighborhood north of Beaverton. It is dense with immigrants from Gujarat, a state in India and primary source for the first wave of Beaverton’s South Asian immigrants. The first wave of South Asian immigrants to Beaverton, mostly Gujaratis from India, arrived in the 1960s and 1970s, when the motel and hotel industry was booming. Many bought small hotels and originally settled in Portland, and then relocated to Beaverton for better schools and bigger yards. The second wave of South Asians arrived during the high-tech boom of the 1980s, when the software industry, and Intel and Tektronix, really took off. Many of Beaverton’s Asians converge at Uwajimaya, a 30,000-square-foot supermarket near central Beaverton. Bernie Capell, former special events coordinator at Uwajimaya, says that **e to shop for fresh produce every day. But the biggest group of shoppers at Uwajimaya, she adds, are Caucasians. Beaverton’s Asian population boasts a sizable number of Koreans, who began to arrive in the late 1960s and early 1970s. According to Ted Chung, a native of Korea and Beaverton resident since 1978, three things stand out about his fellow Korean immigrants. Upon moving to Beaverton, they join a Christian church — often Methodist or Presbyterian — as a gathering place; they push their children to excel in school; and they shun the spotlight. Chung says he and his fellow Korean émigrés work hard as small businessmen —owning groceries, dry cleaners, laundromats, delis, and sushi shops — and are frugal so they can send their children to a leading university. Most recently, immigrants from Central and South America, as well as refugees from Iraq and Somalia, have joined the **munity. Many Beaverton organizations help immigrants. The Beaverton Resource Center helps all immigrants with health and literacy services. The Somali Family Education Center helps Somalis and other African refugees to get settled. And one Beaverton elementary school even came up with the idea of a “sew in”— parents of students sewing together — to welcome Somali Bantu parents and bridge major cultural differences. Historically white churches, such as Beaverton First United Methodist Church, offer immigration ministries. And Beaverton churches of all denominations host Korean- or Spanish-language services. Beaverton’s Mayor Doyle wants refugee and immigrant leaders to participate in the town’s decision-making. He set up a Diversity Task Force whose mission is “to build inclusive and **munities in the City of Beaverton.” The task force is working to create a **munity center for Beavertonians of all backgrounds. The resources and warm welcome that Beaverton gives immigrants are reciprocated in the affection that many express for their new home. Kaltun Caynan, 40, a Somali woman who came to Beaverton in 2001 fleeing civil war, is an outreach coordinator for the Somali Family Education Center. “I like it so much,” she said, cheerfully. “Nobody discriminate[s against] me, everybody smiling at me.”。

Thanks to immigration—legal and illegal—greater Los Angeles has nearly as many Mexicans as Monterrey, more Salvadorans than any city but San Salvador and the largest Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese and Philippine populations in the country. Nearly 100 languages are spoken in the city"s schools. More than 300, 000 newcomers flood in each year, pitting blacks against Hispanics and Asians for jobs and housing in a city where both are scarce. Los Angeles has not been a triumph for the melting pot, at least not yet. Even before the riots, it sometimes resembled a city under siege. Los Angeles is a town where merchants pack guns, where inner-city neighborhoods are divided into precincts with names like " Little Beirut" or " the Kill Zone, " where wealthy neighborhoods are fenced off and posted with warnings Of ARMED RESPONSE. "This is a bunker mentality, " says the head of one of L. A. " s 3, 500 private security firms. Lacking any center, barricaded into nervous camps, Los Angeles has little common ground upon which its diverse citizenry can meet. Nowhere in the country is the gap between rich and poor so evident; nowhere are racial or ethnic relations so complex. Mexicans mistrust Central Americans. Hispanics and Asians coexist uneasily in many neighborhoods. Black looters who torched Asian markets justified themselves as avenging perceived racism. Amid the social fragmentation, blacks are especially isolated. Once southern California"s ascendant minority, African-Americans represent only 13 percent of the city"s population, and that percentage is shrinking. L. A. "s Latinos, by contrast, doubled over the past decade, all but displacing blacks in Watts, home of the 1965 riots, and encroaching on African-American neighborhoods throughout the city. There are no quick fixes to such profound social changes. Politicians will cobble together emergency economic and social programs. Ultimately, though, the solution to L. A. " s crisis will be the very diversity that now poses such challenges. Drive down Melrose Avenue and you are struck by the city"s tremendous ethnic vitality—and its potential. Iranian and Russian restaurants vie with Jewish markets. Armenian exporters jostle Japanese importers. Thai Town gives way to Koreatown which gives way to Little Central America. This is more than a festival of international cuisine. These are thriving businesses with spreading links to greater Los Angeles and beyond. " L. A. is America"s first true world city, " says Safi Qureshey, a Pakistani immigrant whose company, AST Research, Inc. , has become the third largest U. S. computer exporter. You hear a lot of talk these days about Pacific Rim-ism, and how ethnic diversity is the key to the 21st century. In L. A. , much of thattalk is true. Malaysian or Thai businessmen in Los Angeles keep their links to their homelands. Commerce often follows. "This is the modern version of the traditional melting pot, " says Phil Burgess at the Center for the New West. "These new Americans learn English. They plug into the system. But they " assimilate" us as much as we " assimilate" them. " Many of these successes are in neighborhoods that today seem so troubled. Asian communities are quickly vaulting into the middle class. If some Hispanic neighborhoods seem overrun with impoverished newcomers, others are becoming established centers of enterprise. Significantly, Hispanic neighborhoods were largely spared from rioting and looting. The reason is part economics, part ethnicity. Latinos and Asians have a stake in the city in a way that most blacks have not, explains L. A. sociologist Joel Kotkin. "They start more businesses and buy their homes. You don"t torch what you own. " What"s more, Asians and Latinos generally stay put once they make it, spreading their wealth to their neighbors. Blacks, by contrast, tend to behave like many whites. They head for the suburbs, leaving behind a black "community" of predominantly young poor. That isolation must end if Los Angeles is to recover and prosper—and it may well end sooner rather than later. The wealth generated by thriving ethnic businesses will raise the communities around them. That day may be too far off for the rioters, but what"s encouraging is that so many Angelenos still managed to see that vision through the smoke of L. A. "s fires.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true about Los Angeles?（分数：2.00）A.Immigration makes it the most ethnically diverse city in the world.B.There are not enough jobs and houses for the immigrants.tino accounts for the largest percentage of the population.D.Some people came to settle down in L.A.through illegal means.(2).Which of the following can best describe the city according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.People of many different cultures mingle well in the city.B.Among different ethnic groups there are constant conflicts.C.Little communication takes place because of language barriers.D.Rich people are a threat to the rest of the people in the city.(3).Among all the groups of people, the population of______is shrinking and its people are isolated.（分数：2.00）A.MexicansB.HispanicsnsD.African-Americans(4).To adapt to the social changes, the way out for L.A.may be______.（分数：2.00）A.what causes the problems—diversityB.some effective economic and social programsC.a festival of international cuisineD.getting people to move out of the city(5)."You don"t torch what you own" means______.（分数：2.00）A.You don"t give what you have created to others.B.You don"t want others to destroy your property.C.You don"t want to destroy your own property.D.You are not satisfied with what you have.South Korea wallows in existential angst The phenomenal success of Gangnam Style, a video by Korean rap artist Psy that has been viewed 280m times, is a quirky(and rather catchy)indication of South Korea"s rising fortunes. The dance video gently sends up the nouveau-riche, plastic surgery-enhanced lifestyle that has been made possible by an economic transformation so extraordinary it is known as " the miracle on the Han River". But something curious is happening. Just as South Korea is growing more confident on the world stage—culturally, economically and diplomatically—it is going through something of an existential crisis at home. Suicides are drastically higher, fertility is perilously low and the electorate is flirting with the idea of jettisoning traditional presidential candidates in favour of an untested IT entrepreneur. It seems an odd moment to be having a national nervous breakdown. Samsung and Hyundai have established themselves as premier consumer brands from Canberra to Cupertino. Korea"s per capita income of $30, 000 is fast closing in on the EU average of $33, 000. And whether it is winning $ 20bn nuclear contracts in Abu Dhabi, pouring money into emerging markets such as India, China and Brazil, or vying with Japan to be Washington"s best friend in Asia, Seoul is having a global impact as never before. That is not how it feels at home. The more that theresidents of the fashionable Gangnam district live it up, the more Koreans feel their economic model is skewed towards a privileged elite. Some statistics suggest Korea is among the most unequal of advanced countries. Chaebol conglomerates, the pride of the nation abroad, are considered by many to be economic bullies at home, blamed for squeezing suppliers and pushing small businesses into bankruptcy. Whatever the impressive macroeconomic data suggest, more Koreans feel poor, overworked and weighed down by social pressures. Chief among their concerns is the stress and expense of putting their children through "exam hell" , even in the knowledge that there are too many graduates chasing too few well-paid jobs. No wonder Korea"s birth rate has plummeted—to 1. 23, well below the 2. 2 replacement rate and lower even than Japan, at 1.4. The outgoing conservative government of Lee Myung-bak was good at putting on an international show. It hosted the G20 summit with aplomb. It attracted attention with its "green growth" agenda. But John Delury, assistant professor at Yonsei university, says it neglected domestic social and economic issues. Suicide rates have doubled over the past decade and are now the main cause of death for people under 40. The position of women has advanced at a much slower pace than the economy. Nowhere is the sense of dissatisfaction more apparent than in the campaign for December"s presidential election. The surprise package has been Ahn Chul-soo, a university professor and founder of Ahnlab, an antivirus company, who has gained a cult following especially among Korean youth. The 50-year-old independent—a sort of "anti-politician"—is polling above 40 per cent even though he only declared his presidential ambition this month. Mr. Ahn is funning against two establishment figures. Park Geun-hye is a conservative from the same party as the presidential incumbent. On the liberal establishment side, the Democratic United party has selected Moon Jae-in, aide to a former president. It is a measure of how much Koreans want a break from the past that Ms. Park saw fit this week to apologize for the human rights abuses of her father, the dictator Park Chung-hee, who ran the country for 18 years until he was assassinated in 1979.(On hearing of his fate, his pragmatic daughter"s first words were said to have been "Is the border secure?")Ms. Park has felt it necessary to ditch her impeccably conservative credentials by moving towards the centre. She has taken to talking about " economic democratisation" , a buzz phrase that embraces the idea of weakening the stranglehold of chaebol and fostering a more even distribution of wealth. Mr. Ahn, whose supporters compare him with Barack Obama—the promising 2008 vintage, not the corked 2012 version—represents a rejection of old-style polities. "Moon is the man of the past, Park is a relic of the past, Ahn is the man of the future, " is how Jang Sung-min, a former parliamentarian puts it. The three-way race makes the election result highly unpredictable. Many expect Mr. Ahn and Mr. Moon to come to some sort of last-minute pact. If they do not, they risk splitting the liberal vote and handing victory to Ms. Park, a result that would appear to be at odds with the anti-establishment mood. One possible interpretation of the political mess in general and the popularity of the political novice Mr. Ahn in particular is that Korea is going through a crisis of democratic legitimacy. That would be quite the wrong conclusion. The country that threw off dictatorship in 1987 is now as robust, if imperfect, a democracy as any in Asia, a rebuke to those who argue that Confucian societies or "Asian values" are somehow incompatible with the ballot box. Far from suggesting that democracy is failing Korea, the noisy tussle around the presidency shows a system adapting to the popular will. That, at least, should brighten the national mood.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author mean by "South Korea wallows in existential angst"?（分数：2.00）A.South Korea is currently experiencing the existential anxiety.B.South Korea now indulges in the existential anger.C.South Korea ties itself with the existential logic.D.South Korea is seeking a new way out of existential crisis.(2).Of the following, what is NOT true about Korea"s "existential crises at home"?（分数：2.00）A.Koreans in general are having a nervous breakdown nationally.B.Fertility is perilously low.C.Suicides are drastically higher.D.South Korea becomes ever more unconfident economically.(3).Which of the following statements is TRUE about Chaebol conglomerates?（分数：2.00）A.They are not considered economic bullies at home.B.They are regarded as pride of the nation abroad.C.They have nothing to do with pushing small businesses to bankruptcy.D.All of above.(4).Compared with Barack Obama, what is the image of Mr. Ahn in his supporters" eyes?（分数：2.00）A.He is an establishment figure.B.He is from a minority group that represents the past.C.He has working experience in an enterprise as Obama does.D.He represents a rejection of old-style and man of the future.(5).According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE on Korea"s democracy?（分数：2.00）A.It has a bright future.B.The democracy is faring in South Korea.C.Korea is going through a crisis of democratic legitimacy.D.Confucian societies or "Asian values" are incompatible with the democracy.三、选词填空(总题数：2，分数：20.00)Choose the correct headings for each of the following paragraphs marked with B to F.

Cultural abundance unlike a building boom vi. We"ve reached a tipping point, or at least turned a corner. vii. Informal relations viii. Anyone can be a maker of culture. ix. Whatever happened to the television test pattern? Example Answer Paragraph A ix A No more than 20 years ago, most TV stations routinely signed off the air for at least a few hours a day. At the end of their broadcast period, stations would slap a test pattern up on the screen until the next morning"s programming began. The test pattern—occasionally an absurd drawing of a Native American but more often a simple geometric shape adorned with call letters—was a great symbol of cultural dead space, of a moment when nothing was happening, when nothing was being transmitted, save perhaps for a monotonous electronic hum. While some stations still do sign off, they are increasingly rare in a hyperkinetic, always-open America that has shifted fully into 24-7 mode. If the test pattern symbolized a moment of silence in the cultural process, then it"s only fitting that its long run has effectively been canceled. B Similar developments range far beyond the small screen. During the past few decades, we have been experiencing what can aptly be called a "culture boom" : a massive and prolonged increase in art, music, literature, video, and other forms of creative expression. Everywhere we look, the cultural marketplace is open and ready for business: The number of places where you can buy books has more than doubled during the past 20 years, while the number of libraries has increased by about 17 percent. More than 25, 000 video rental stores are scattered across the United States, effectively functioning as second-run theaters and art houses even in the most remote backwaters. More than 110 symphony orchestras have been founded since 1980, reports The Wall Street Journal, which also notes that the national 1997 -98 theatrical season "raked in a record $1.3 billion in ticket sales. " About 3 , 500 commercial radio stations and 670 commercial television stations have come on the air since 1970; during the same period, cable viewership has quadrupled. C The increasingly important World Wide Web has provided space for all sorts of commercial and noncommercial culture, ranging from authorized sites to a reader-compiled database of more than 180, 000 movies to translations of Dante"s sonnets to fan-generated art. In video and music production, where equipment costs were once prohibitive enough to seriously limit access, there is a flourishing, self-conscious "do-it-yourself" movement that has taken great advantage of cheaper technology and distribution methods. In a world of $ 100 VCRs, bargain-basement PCs, CD-rewritable drives, and other technologies that allow users to copy and manipulate images, words, and sound in ever-new and seamless ways, even the sharp distinction between producer and consumer seems increasingly blurred. D Gone for good are the days when serious cultural critics, whether on the right or the left, could nod toward Tocqueville and Mrs. Trollope and bemoan a scarcity of "culture" in America. Instead, the contemporary descendants of such folks are more likely to make the sort of claim Slate"s Jacob Weisberg did recently in a review of economist Tyler Cowen"s In Praise of Commercial Culture. After granting that the United States does in fact offer a dizzying array of cultural opportunities, Weisberg complains: "What we lack is a flourishing common, or national, culture. Contemporary classical music goes unperformed, foreign films have no audience, and hardly anyone reads contemporary poetry. Meanwhile, pap abounds. " There are, in fact, healthy, if small, markets for the fare Weisberg prefers. The problem isn"t a lack of choice in cultural matters: You want Mozart, Mingus, and Marilyn Manson ? No problem—they"re all available(and probably at a discount). Rather, the issue is precisely a profusion of choice in cultural matters; You want Mozart, Mingus—and Marilyn Manson? E By virtually any measure, cultural activity has been enjoying an expansion that stacks up to Wall Street"s long-running bull market. Interestingly, the culture boom has, for the most part, seen older art forms supplemented and preserved, rather than paved over. The past 30 years have seen a number of developments that have greatly increased the amount and variety of TV-related culture available. The average home now has 2. 3 sets,compared to 1. 4 sets in 1970. Cable is now in 65. 3 percent of all households with TVs(compared to 6.7 percent in 1970). The average subscriber receives 30 to 60 channels, typically including several devoted not merely to shopping but to new and old feature films, reruns of old shows, documentaries, and other sorts of specialized programming. Omnipresent video rental stores give virtually everyone access to a film library that a few decades ago even a millionaire wouldn"t have been able to afford. F The culture boom is similarly reshaping book publishing. While an enormous amount of ink has been spilled over the demise of print culture, the death of so-called mid-list authors, and the threat to diversity posed by mega-mergers among publishers, actual book sales and related figures suggest a very different picture. Between 1975 and 1996, the number of books sold increased by 817 million units annually. Fifty years ago, Tyler Cowen points out in In Praise of Commercial Culture, there were only 85, 000 titles in print in the United States. Today, that figure stands at about 1. 3 million. The increase in the number of books available has been matched by an increase in places to get books. Between 1985 and 1993, for instance, the number of "ultimate companies"—outlets selling books in some form or another—rose from 9, 200 to almost 20, 000. Such staggering numbers have, of course, been eclipsed by Web sellers such as Amazon, com and Barnes & Noble"s onlineoutfit(barnesandnoble. com). Boasting sites that include several million titles, Amazon and Barnes & Noble have been joined in cyberspace by used-book sites that combine lists from hundreds of used-hook stores nationwide. The Web retailers are also leading the way in increasing access to foreign tides that have traditionally been very difficult to find in the States.（分数：10.00）(1).Paragraph B 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(2).Paragraph C 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(3).Paragraph D 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(4).Paragraph E 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(5).Paragraph F 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________The backlash against the rich has gone global 1Defending the French government"s recent decision to raise the top rate of income tax to 75 per cent, Pierre Moscovici, the country"s finance minister, told Le Monde: " This is not a punitive measure, but a patriotic measure. " The rich, he explained, are being given an opportunity to make "an exceptional contribution" to solving France"s financial problems. I am sure they are very grateful. France is clearly taking a big risk by raising its tax rates so much higher than those of its neighbours, 2The truth is that the new French government is at the extreme end of a new global trend: an international backlash against the wealthy that is reshaping politics from Europe to the U. S. to China. David Cameron, the British prime minister, has offered to roll out the red carpet for French tax exiles. But even in Britain, where the top tax rate is 45 per cent, there is a new mood of antagonism towards the rich. 3 In the U. S. , meanwhile, Barack Obama is campaigning to increase taxes on "millionaires and billionaires". It is true that the tax rises that the U. S. president wants would be laughably small by French standards. Mr Obama merely wants to raise the top rate from 35 per cent to 39. 6 per cent, as well as increasing taxes on capital gains and dividends. 4 The French socialists made great play of Nicolas Sarkozy"s allegedly " bling" lifestyle and friendships with the super-rich. In similar vein, the Obama campaign has attacked Mitt Romney as a tax-dodging representative of "the 1 per cent"—and mocked his wife"s ownership of a dressage horse. These tactics sound risky because Americans are traditionally said to admire the wealthy , rather than to envy them. But the Obama camp can read polls. By a margin of 64 per cent to 33 per cent, Americans are in favour of higher taxes on those earning more than $250, 000. Political sensitivities about the gap between the wealthy and the rest are not confined to the west. The lifestyles of the rich and powerful is now the most sensitive and dangerous topic in Chinese polities. The website of Bloomberg News was recently shut down in China, apparently as punishment for the publication of an article on the family wealth of a high rank official in China. Why is all this happening? As Zanny Minton Beddoes of The Economist writes in a recent essay, " a majority of the world"s citizens now live in countries where the gap between the rich and the rest is a lot bigger than it was a generation ago". 5As Ms. Minton Beddoes points out, in the U. S. "the portion of national income going to the richest 1 per cent tripled from 8 per cent in the 1970s to 24 per cent in 2007". Eventually that kind of shift is liable tospark a political backlash. The trigger for that reaction has been the Great Recession, which has increased the pressure on the living standards of ordinary people, while exposing misbehaviour at the top. Western politicians, from Barack Obama to Francois Hollande are seeking to capture and channel this new mood. In Asia, where the Great Recession has hit less hard, other factors may be at work. The internet and the rise of microblogging have made it easier to spread information and to whip up indignation about the gap between the hard-pressed worker and the super-rich.
