  • 第1题:

    China has the most franchises in the world but the scale of their operations is relatively small. Each system in China has an average of 43 outlets, compared to more than 540 in the United States. Together, there are 2,600 brands in some 200,000 retail markets. KFC was the most significant foreign entry in 1987 and is widespread. Many franchises are in fact joint-ventures, as at their forming the franchise law was not explicit. For example, McDonald's is a joint venture. Pizza Hut, TGIF, Wal-mart, Starbucks followed a little later. But total franchising is only 3% of retail trade, which seeks foreign franchise growth. The year 2005 saw the birth of an updated franchise law, “Measures for the Administration of Commercial Franchise”. Previous legislation (1997) made no specific inclusion of foreign investors. Today the franchise law is much clearer by virtue of the 2007 law, a revision of the 2005 law. The laws are applicable if there are transactions involving a trademark combined with payments with many obligations on the franchisor. The law comprises 42 articles and eight chapters.

    1. According to the passage, the passage mainly talks about ().

    A. the scale of franchising in China

    B. the franchise law in China

    C. an outline of franchising in China

    2. KFC was the () foreign franchise to China in 1987 and is widespread.

    C. many foreigners were not familiar with Chinese culture

    4. Foreign franchise grows in China because of ().

    A. the open policy

    B. the small amount of retail trade

  • 第6题:

    资料:Western business visitors are often deadline-driven and unwilling to slow down to the Chinese pace when discussing business. But in China the pace can be fast and slow simultaneously.
    Another different approach to doing business is that in a buying decision Westerners tend to look for clear alternatives, while Easterners may examine ways to combine both option. For example, a Chinese panel may feel that a supplier who claims of best quality with a low price may either raise the price during the contract or fail to implement the contract. They will therefore often prefer to choose a supplier whose price is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. In addition, a Chinese panel may avoid awarding each supplier more than one contract, in order to minimise dependence on a single supplier. Such an approach may make a Westerner think that a Chinese negotiator is being illogical, evasive or devious, when he believes he is being quite straightforward.
    What's more, both Chinese and foreign companies will often attribute their business success to having good guanxi. The objective of developing close relationships is to build what the Chinese call guanxi (pronounced gwan shee). which are essentially social or business connections based on mutual interest and benefit. In a centralised and bureaucratic state, reliance on personal contacts is often seen as the only way to get things done. And in a place like China where the legal system is still relatively weak, the need to rely on guanxi remains strong.
    Both China and foreign companies will often attribute their business success to having good guanxi. But the obligations of guanxi are very real. In the wrong place, at an inappropriate time, with unsuitable people, the obligations can become a trap it is hard to escape.

    According to the article, which of the following is NOT a feature of China’s business culture?

    A.Chinese businessmen look for ways to combine different options.
    B.Chinese businessmen have stronger sense of national pride.
    C.Chinese businessmen have their own pace doing business.

  • 第7题:

    资料:According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. Why buy a Sony DVD player or Nokia phone at Best Buy when you can pay less for the exact same product at a local store?Consumers will only be willing to pay more, like at the Apple stores, if they are buying something they cannot get elsewhere.
    While scales of economy have allowed big China stores in America to offer cheaper prices than niche players, local retailers in China are able to undercut prices because they pay less in salaries, benefits, rent, and electricity. Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products, which makes it more appealing for customers.
    Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets. China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. A government ban on free shopping bags have also resulted in consumers shopping more often, but buying less each time, further fueling the popularity of neighborhood stores.

    What is the most likely content the speaker discussed before these three paragraphs?
    Best Buy's failure in China.

    B.Chinese local retailers' reason for success.
    C.Overseas retailers' struggle in the Chinese market.
    D.The development of retail industry in China.

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是推理判断。
    【关键词】most likely content; discussed before these three paragraphs
    【主题句】第1自然段 According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. 根据我们的研究,中国的百思买被认为太贵了,他们的许多产品的价格都高于当地市场。
    第3自然段 Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets.除了未能对其产品线进行区分之外,百思买也犯了一个错误,即效仿美国专注于建设大型旗舰店,而不是打造更小巧、更便利的零售商店。
    【解析】题干意为“在这三段之前,作者最有可能讨论的内容是什么?” 根据主题句可知,本文主要内容是百思买为什么在中国失败,因此在这之前可能讨论的内容是百思买在中国的失败,故选A。选项B意为“中国本土零售商成功原因”,选项C意为“海外的零售商在中国的艰难境地”,涵盖的范围太广,本文未提及其他的海外零售商。选项D意为“中国零售业发展”,均与题意不符。

    Chinese Dialects(方言)

    The enormous differences in Chinese dialects have been a continuing problem ever since China became an empire in 221 B.C.,and it is one big reason why the country has remained impoverished (贫穷).Of the 600 million people,all but a very small number speak Chinese. But the dialects vary so widely that the speech of Peking,for example,is as different from the speech of Canton as English is from German.
    There is,to be sure,only one written language for all China,but it bears no phonetic(语音的)relationship to any of the spoken dialects.Moreover,it has so many symbols that only a tiny portion of the population has ever mastered it.
    As a result,most Chinese have been isolated for centuries from a free flow of ideas and from the economic progress that such a flow produces.Many dynasties tried with little success to break down the wall. After recognizing the importance of having a literate people for working in a technological world and for developing an effective propaganda(宣传)machine,the present government is putting everything it has into tackling the language problem. But the obstacles are so formidable(难以应付的)that the results cannot yet be predicted.
    At the heart of the problem is the dialects.The dialects prevented the evolution of a single written language based on phonetics.Instead,the Chinese were forced to develop a system that has no relation to sound,and they have clung to it for more than 3,000 years.When this system is applied to a whole language,it results in an overwhelming number of symbols.
    There are about 50,000 entries in a Chinese dictionary not counting the compounds(复合词). In order to be literate,a Chinese must learn 6,000;to be moderately educated,12,000.An English-speaking child,having to conquer only a twenty-six-letter alphabet,has usually learned to read by the time he begins the third grade.A Chinese child needs at least five more years of elementary learning;in the seventh grade,he can barely read a Chinese newspaper.

    The main reason why there are a great number of symbols in Chinese language is that______.
    A:China failed to develop a single written language based on phonetics
    B:a Chinese child is supposed to learn much more words than his English speaking counterpart
    C:enormous differences in Chinese dialects
    D:the Chinese language system has no relation to sound
    E:educate more people to learn the same language
    F: there is only a small part of the population who understand the large number of symbols

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段主要讲中国方言之间有巨大的差异,第一句话就是本段的主题句。另外,该段还举出北京话与广东话之间差别的例子。故选D。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握以及抽象概括能力。本段谈到语言问题阻碍了思想与经济的交流,历朝政府都想解决这一问题。当前政府已经认识到解决语言问题的重要性,投入全力来对付。所以,该段的主题是tackling the language problem,.tackling的意思就是选项A的dealing with,故选A。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段讲到关键问题是方言,方言使单一的书面语无法同读音相联系,中国人只好创立了一套与发音无关的系统,这造成了繁多的字符。可见问题的核心是方言。故选E。
    本题考查的同样是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段讲汉字繁多,难于掌握,对比了中国孩子与讲英语的孩子学习阅读的进度,反衬出汉语之难学。故选B。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解。本题答案的依据在第一段的第一句话。该句说这个国家(中国)之所以长期贫穷,一个重要原因是中国各地方言差别太大 ( the enormous differences in Chinese dialects)。故选C。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解。本题答案的依据在第四段的第二句。在作者看来,方言的繁多使中国不能发展出一套以音节为基础的单一书面语,故选A。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解。本题答案的依据在第四段的二、三、四句。正因为中国不能发展出一套以音节为基础的单一书面语,语言系统与发音无关,这就势必造成大量字符的出现。最后一句话中的results in就是“导致”的意思。倒数第二句则说明了原因。故选D。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解以及抽象概括能力。本题与上面的第26题有联系,答案的依据在最后一段。该段举出中外儿童学习阅读的进度对比的例子,所给数据显示,中国孩子在学习母语时要比外国孩子掌握更多的生词。这就是作者认为的二者的不同之处。故选B。

  • 第9题:

    It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times.
    About three decades ago,French was recognized as the language of diplomacy(外交),and German was considered the language of science and technology.English now dominates(主导)not only as the language of science but also diplomacy,computing,and tourism.Today,in terms of native speakers,Mandarin Chinese is the world′s
    largest language.
    Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world.Some have?even fixed the date as early as the year 2020.At present,while English is more widely spoken than any other?language,there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone.If China?does become a world power,there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide.
    As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues,there are many who feel?that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible(不可逆的).However,a separate study from David Graddol′s suggests that English′s dominance in the scientific area will continue.There is also an argument that the?English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons.With the possibility of China rising as a?world power,Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.

    A.China becomes a real world power
    B.China has a larger population
    C.China has the modern technology

    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段主要讲中国方言之间有巨大的差异,第一句话就是本段的主题句。另外,该段还举出北京话与广东话之间差别的例子。故选D。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握以及抽象概括能力。本段谈到语言问题阻碍了思想与经济的交流,历朝政府都想解决这一问题。当前政府已经认识到解决语言问题的重要性,投入全力来对付。所以,该段的主题是tackling the language problem,.tackling的意思就是选项A的dealing with,故选A。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段讲到关键问题是方言,方言使单一的书面语无法同读音相联系,中国人只好创立了一套与发音无关的系统,这造成了繁多的字符。可见问题的核心是方言。故选E。
    本题考查的同样是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段讲汉字繁多,难于掌握,对比了中国孩子与讲英语的孩子学习阅读的进度,反衬出汉语之难学。故选B。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解。本题答案的依据在第一段的第一句话。该句说这个国家(中国)之所以长期贫穷,一个重要原因是中国各地方言差别太大 ( the enormous differences in Chinese dialects)。故选C。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解。本题答案的依据在第四段的第二句。在作者看来,方言的繁多使中国不能发展出一套以音节为基础的单一书面语,故选A。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解。本题答案的依据在第四段的二、三、四句。正因为中国不能发展出一套以音节为基础的单一书面语,语言系统与发音无关,这就势必造成大量字符的出现。最后一句话中的results in就是“导致”的意思。倒数第二句则说明了原因。故选D。
    本题考查的是对文章的主旨与细节的了解以及抽象概括能力。本题与上面的第26题有联系,答案的依据在最后一段。该段举出中外儿童学习阅读的进度对比的例子,所给数据显示,中国孩子在学习母语时要比外国孩子掌握更多的生词。这就是作者认为的二者的不同之处。故选B。

    填空题
    Many Chinese friends went to the party.→____ many Chinese friends at the party.

    正确答案: There were
    解析:
    本题考查的是句型转换,要求考生将普通句转换成there be句型。这一点由改写句中没有谓语即可看出来。但应注意be动词的数和时态。由原句中的went(go的一般过去式)可知,改写的句子也应使用一般过去式。由空格后的many可知,be动词应使用复数形式。

  • 第24题:

    填空题
    Some American businessmen in China are spending a lot of time in (learn) ____ Chinese.

    正确答案: learning
    解析:
    本题考查固定句型的用法。句意:在中国的一些美国商人花费很多时间来学习中文。spend+时间+in doing意为“花费时间做……”,此处应用动词的动名词形式learning。
