第1题：
E
Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas.
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements(组成部分) of culture language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.
Language
A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicates directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication
With someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
Values and Attitudes
Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For
Example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.
Customs and Manners
Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is custom to have salad(色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.
57. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people __________.
A. to be more open with their customers
B. to communicate without outside help
C. to express their thoughts indirectly
D. to have a better idea of their own culture
正确答案：D

第4题：
阅读理解Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, havinglow self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
1、What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?”
A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.
B、People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.
C、It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.
D、Shy people think they are different from others.
2、According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.
A、a good quality
B、the cause of unhappiness
C、harmful to people
D、a weak point of shy people
3、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _________.
A、good
B、unreal
C、very reasonable
D、harmful
4、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A、Shyness helps us to develop our potential.
B、Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.
C、Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.
D、Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.
5、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.
A、should find more of their weakness
B、should understand themselves in the right way
C、had better ignore their weakness
D、can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem

第5题：
If you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think．This is the research result of professor Faulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intelligence and emotion,and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk,says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,"he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out__．A.how people's brains shrink
B.the way of making people live longer
C.the size of certain people's brains
D.why certain people aged sooner than others答案：D解析：本文介绍了一位教授对大脑萎缩的研究。从第一、二段可知，Faulkner教授做了一项研究，其结果是人的大脑没有得到充分的运动，因此人类早衰。他想找出减缓人类衰老速度的办法。 -

The Science of Persuasion
If leadership consists of getting things done through others,then persuasion is one of the leader's essential tools.Many executives have assumed that this tool is beyond their grasp,available only to the charismatic（有魅力的）and the eloquent. Over the past several decades , though , experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede,comply,or change.Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied.
The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not.Wise managers,then,ask peers to help make their cases.
Second,people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but who like them,as well.So it's worth the time to uncover real similarities and offer genuine praise.
Third,experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat
them.It's a sound policy to do a favor before seeking one.Fourth,individuals are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and clearly.The message for managers here is to get commitments in writing. Fifth,studies show that people really do defer to（服从）experts.So before they attempt to exert influence,executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that it's self-evident. Finally,people want more of a commodity when it's scarce;it follows,then, that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.Experiments have shown that,contrary to our expectation,people tend to treat you the way you treat them.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：答题依据在第一段的二、三句。用though转折，表明实验证明的与行政主管的看法不同。
答题依据在第二段的第三句。
文章并未提及管理者不雇用与他们不同的人。
文章第二段提到“值得花时间去发现真正的共同点并给予真挚的赞誉”。因此此句说“管理者没有必要去发现员工的优点”是错误的。
第三段第一句提到“confirm the intuitive truth"，并不是“contrary to our expectation"，因此这句话错误。
文章没有讨论英明的管理者和愚蠢的管理者。
答题依据在文章最后一句。独家信息要比人人皆知的信息更有说服力。 -

第17题：
资料：When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）.Many people who do a lot of work，such as writing，reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This，too，can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
When things far away seem indistinct， one is probably______.A.astigmatic
B.far-sighted
C.suffering from cataracts
D.near-sighted答案：D解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】things far away；indistinct
【主题句】第2自然段People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）. 近视的人只能看到非常接近他们眼睛的东西，其他一切看起来都很模糊（=不清楚）。
【解析】本题的问题是“当远处的东西看起来模糊不清时，可能就是？”A选项“散光”；B选项“远视”；C选项“患有白内障”；D选项“近视”。根据主题句，看不清远方的东西，应当是患有近视，故D选项正确。 -
