Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of 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 factthat 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 around the world, 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 tailor business 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 or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. 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.C31. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. All international managers can learn culture.B. Business diversity is not necessary.C. Views differ on how to treat culture in business worldD. Most people do not know foreign culture well.A32. According to the author, the model of Pepsi_________.A. is in line with the theories that the business is around the worldB. is different from the model of McDonald’sC. shows the reverse of globalizationD. has converged cultural differencesC33. The two schools of thought_________.A. both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual culturesB. both advocate that different policies be set up in different countriesC. admit the existence of cultural diversity in business worldD. both A and BD34. This article is supposed to be most useful for those________.A. who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversityB. who have connections to more than one type of cultureC. who want to travel abroadD. who want to run business on International ScaleB35. According to Fortune, successful international companies________.A. earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseasB. all have the quality of patienceC. will follow the overseas local culturesD. adopt the policy of internationalizationPassage 2Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, therehad been nothing wrong with their marriage.Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home—the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”C36. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle_________.A. could not forgive him for taking the childrenB. had been expecting it to happen for some timeC. could not understand whyD. blamed herself for what had happenedA37. Most people who leave their families behind them___________A. do so without warningB. do so because of their debtsC. come back immediatelyD. change their namesC38. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because _________.A. their spouse would feel no pain during the deathB. their spouse’s death would not blow their pride and confidenceC. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failureD. their spouse’s death would make them feel less painfulB39. The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually______________.A. admits responsibility for the situationB. wishes the person who has left were deadC. comes back within a yearD. will have no legal marriage life for seven yearsC40. Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as_______________.A. an act of despairB. an act of selfishnessC. the result of a sudden decisionD. the result of the enormous sense of guilt and their confused families behind themPassage 3People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had beenbuilt. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem, but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go farther along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a home for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.B41. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.B. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.C. The rising of the sea level.D. The experts’ lack of knowledge.B42. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England __________.A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. is quickly changing the map of EnglandD. can be stopped if proper measures are takenD43. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can __________.A. lead to its eventual solutionB. provide and effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. warn people whose homes are in dangerC44. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because __________.A. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasB. the government is too slow in taking actionC. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsD. house agents along the coast do not support the ideaD45. According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should __________.A. be aware of the potential danger involvedB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. take the quality of the house into considerationD. examine the house carefully before making a decisionPassage 4Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor an d car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment industry” or “show business”.The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to American life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many.A46. The United States is a typical country __________.A. which encourages free trade at home and abroadB. where people’s chief concern is how to make moneyC. where all businesses are managed scientificallyD. which normally works according to the federal budgetB47. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that __________.A. most newspapers are run by big businessB. even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC. Even arts and entertainment are regarded as businessD. Americans of all professions know how to do businessA48. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming that __________.A. they can start profitable businesses thereB. they can be more competitive in businessC. they will find better chances of employmentD. they will make a fortune overnight thereC49. Henry Ford’s statement can be taken negatively because __________.A. working people are discouraged to fight for their rightsB. there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC. there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and laborD. public services are not run by the federal governmentB50. A company’s efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in __________.A. reduction in the number of employeesB. improvement of working conditionsC. fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers’ wagesIII. ClozeAlthough they may not be the world’s fastest or strongest athletes, the 1,830 competitors in the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan, 51 with all their hearts. At the closing 52 Princess Takamado of Japan made a speech. She said, “The past week was 53 smiles, gentleness and peace. I truly hope within my heart that the entire world can learn something here. We can all learn from the 54 these special athlets have shown us.”The 55 of the Special Olympics is clear. It is to encourage individuals with intellectural 56 to become physically fit. They are also encouraged to be productive and 57 members of society through sports training and competition. If an athlete 58 in competition, it is a bonus. However, 59 everyone wins. Lily Kuhn, 12, a skier with Team USA, could hardly 60 her enthusiasm as she wrote home. She told her parents: I was proud of myself. I am happy not simply for winning, 61 for winning honestly, loving to compete and working the hardest for the longest time.The festival 62 the games is something to remember. It isn’t63 without the hugs. One event volunteer, 64 hugging and handing out sweatshirts to some of the athletes, 65 his thumbs and said, “All of these athletes are super! I can’t go66 around here without getting a hug. I 67 for more of this sort of thing. I hope that the spirit 68 they have competed might touch the whole world. Watching these young people blossom over the past week has truly touched my life.”At the end of the festival, the vice mayor for the city of Shanghai, which will 69 the 2007 summer games, accepted the flag for the Special Olympics 70 that “the city of Shanghai would open its arms to the world and to the Special Olympics”.A51.
