In thePast it meant different things to many different people.正确答案：
1.conception改为concept conception表示“构思;想出的意念或计划”,而concept表示相对于实体的“概念”,该句意为“民主不是一个新的概念”。
2.furthermore改为nevertheless或however 上一句说的是古代雅典的民主和美国的民主在许多方面是相同的,而这一句讲的是它们之间存在着几处重要的不同,相对于前面的内容,属于转折关系,而非递进关系,故应该将furthermore改为nevertheless。
3.for改为on 就某事进行投票应该用“vote on sth.”,投票支持某人才用“vote for sb.”。
4.public前加a 作“官员”讲时是可数名词,故单数时应添加不定冠词。
5.encouraging改为encouraged
这里encouraged和前面protected以及后面的supported属于并列结构,所以要一致。
6.√
7.lik改为as like表“像……一样”时后一般接名词性成分,而as可以接介词短语。
8.and改为or或and和a之间加not 这里要表达的“既不是一个妇女,也不是一个奴隶”为否定成分并列,所以有这两种改法。
9.largest前加the 形容词最高级前应加定冠词the。
10.legal改为illegal 根据上下文,这里应用反义词表示“非法的”。解析： 暂无解析 -

第14题：
Which of the following constitutes the best title for this passage？( )A.In the Unthinking Age，Seeing is Believing
B.Images Matter Less Today Than in the Past
C.Democracy Has Lost Its Appeal Nowadays
D.Images in the Information Age答案：A解析：主旨题。文章意在展示信息时代影像的影响力，说明人们总是容易相信眼睛看到的东西。故本题选A。参考译文：如果我们能弄清楚朝鲜在网上发布的那些令人费解的视频有何含义，也许我们在应对朝鲜的核挑衅行为时能更自如些。朝鲜最近发布的一段视频中出现了如下内容：一名正在做梦的男子、一些朝鲜文字、起火的摩天大楼，以及正飞越太空的火箭。视频的背景音乐是钢琴家弹奏的《天下一家》，节奏处理得很哀婉。这是一种无害的幻想，还是一种正式的挑战？针对这一视频西方是否应该发表声明回应？西方是不是也应该发布一段自己的视频？这些问题很难回答。传统媒体正在被互联网“取代”。然而，信息经济释放的“信息”往往难以解读，炮制这些“信息”的目的也难以辨明。电影研究学者斯蒂芬·阿普康在本周出版的《影像时代》一书中称，如今可以探讨一种建立在解读此类非语言信息基础上的新型“读写能力”。阿普康这本书往低了说是关于电影“语言”的，但该书还蕴含着更深的哲学思想。如今，我们的文化日益全球化。尽管文化依然依赖于文字，但文字已越来越多地被包含在影像中，最终留在人们记忆中的也是影像。南加州大学电影艺术学院院长伊丽莎白·戴利认为，写作在今天的地位与文艺复兴前夕的拉丁语类似，是一种学术界使用的语言。YouTube网站上的视频以及其他影像材料则相当于当时的意大利语。它们都是人们日常使用的语言，也是许多创新思维的媒介。一直以来，形象在公共辩论中所起的作用比我们承认的要大。几乎没人在乎理查德·尼克松在1960年与约翰·肯尼迪的总统辩论中整体发言质量略胜一筹，他们只看到这位共和党人胡子拉碴、仪容不整。阿普康援引一位神经科学家的话说，人们如此习惯于捕捉一些微妙的信号，以至于他们往往在看到政治人物的第一眼就“立刻”决定自己是否喜欢这个人。而如今，那些情感冲击力巨大、直观的非语言信息能够得到更广泛的传播。比如，2009年6月，在伊朗总统选举不合法引发抗议期间，一个名叫娜达·萨勒什·阿哈·索尔丹的女孩被枪杀的视频传遍了全世界。而在那部令观众动容的纪录片《科尼2012》(该视频在6天内被浏览了1亿次)中，一些美国政治积极分子呼吁军方逮捕一个乌干达军阀。阿普康指出，视觉是人类最信任的感官，因此需要谨慎对待。当前存在一种挥之不去的危险，就是那些虐待过程的影像可能令公众极度不安，促使他们要求政府出兵。这可以说正是1992年索马里大饥荒时的情况，当时美国在仓促间决定对索马里进行军事干预。阿普康表示，将来我们可能需要“同时具备怀疑精神和敏锐的判断力”，让民众能够“比较辩证地评论呈现在自己面前的内容”。但这一点很难实现。当影像激发出来的情感与语言的论证逻辑得出同一结论时，人们通常能够轻易做出决定。然而当两者的结论相互抵触时，人们必然会偏向其中一方。直到最近，国家治理、学生研究和司法判决的核心才将我们的强烈感情从谨慎思维中净化出来。然而，如今的影像极度丰富和富有冲击力，已经主导了我们的思维过程。尽管阿普康喜欢YouTube的即时性，但他担心，政治宣传人员很快就将学会编造故事来满足“隐藏的心理需求”，从而轻易操控选民。民众对投票的看法有两种。第一种是基于身份来投票。你是农民，那么你就投票给最偏向农民的候选人。第二种则是基于观点来投票，而不是考虑自己的身份。你认为销售税应该取代所得税，那么你就投票给持相同观点的候选人。然而，现在这种基于影像的沟通过程，与身份或观点几乎没什么关系。这种过程只与“最低公分母原则”有关，在这种原则下，你只是一种叫做人类的动物而已。对这个问题没什么显而易见的解决办法。就算我们拥有阿普康所说的怀疑精神，某种特定机制在感知、吸收和解释信息时会“带有”特定风格。你可能不会觉得印刷机与“新教”有任何关联。然而印刷机似乎是新教兴起的先决条件。与此类似，我们的民主制度尽管不太完美，却代表了文字文化发展的顶峰。阿普康告诉我们，在1960年的几次总统辩论中，肯尼迪“利用了一种能够操纵心理的东西，比起单纯的事实，这种东西具有更为原始的力量”。回想起来，那是个不祥的时刻。一旦你发现了这种东西，民主制度岂不是注定会丧失一些吸引力？就像一部你已预知结局的侦探小说一样。 -

第20题：
问答题Q3: What important differences do you think there are between, selling to consumer abroad and selling to domestic markets? （Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: Possibly cultural diversity is one of the most important differences between selling to consumer abroad and selling to domestic markets. Different nationalities have different expectations when it comes to how employers and employees should behave. National culture is perhaps a major obstacle to making global businesses effective. National values are directly linked to organizational decision-making. Most international human resources managers will experience these expectation differences firstly..
B: There are several factors that influence decision-making, such as recruiting new employees, promoting staff, fixing salary levels, and making staff redundant. All these factors are concerned with cultural values. It is safe to say that cultural values have a great effect on management decision making. For example, one relationship is is established on the basis of shared expectations, which are common to employees of the same nationality. In America, typical of this is the belief that individuals should receive salary gains but doesn’t have to share them with lower-performance colleagues. But in some other countries, this will get nowhere. Nevertheless, it is only with this awareness can employees from diverse nationalities appreciate their differences and build mutual understanding.解析： 暂无解析 -

第23题：
问答题Almost all Americans want to be democratic, but many Americans are confused about what, exactly, democracy means. How do you know when someone is acting in a democratic or an undemocratic way? Recently several groups have spoken out with particular bitterness against the kind of democracy that means equal opportunity for all, regardless of race or national origin. They act as if all human beings did not belong to one species, as if some races of mankind were inferior to others in their capacity to learn what members of other races know and have invented. Other extremists attack religious groups—Jews or Catholics--or deny the right of an individual to be an agnostic. One reason that these extremists, who explicitly do not want to be democratic, can get a hearing even though their views run counter to the Constitution and our traditional values is that people who do want to be democratic are frequently muddled.正确答案：
几乎所有的美国人都崇尚民主,但是许多美国人并没有搞清民主到底指的是什么。怎么知道某人的行为是民主的还是不民主的呢?最近,一些团体愤愤不平地反对民主,即不分种族国籍,人人机会均等的观点。他们这样做就好像说所有的人类并不属于同一种群,好像某些人种在学习其他人种的经验和发明创造方面的能力不如别人。另外一些极端分子攻击宗教团体——犹太教或天主教——或否认个人信奉不可知论的权利。尽管这些明确表示不想要民主的极端分子的观点同宪法及传统的价值观念背道而驰,他们仍然能够得以陈述自己的观点,其原因就是崇尚民主的人们通常也是糊里糊涂的。解析： 暂无解析 -
