    请阅读Passage 2，完成第小题。
    Passage 2
    NBA centre Jason Collins recently announced he was gay in a cover story for Sports
    Illustrated. In other words, he"came out of the closet." This expression for revealing one's homosexuality may seem natural. Being in the closet implies hiding from the outside world, and the act of coming out of it implies the will to stop hiding. But though the closet has long been a metaphor for privacy or secrecy, its use with reference to homosexuality is relatively recent.
    According to George Chauncey's comprehensive history of modern gay culture, Gay New York, the closet metaphor was not used by gay people until the 1960s. Before then, it doesn't appear anywhere"in the records of the gay movement or in the novels, diaries, or letters of gay men and lesbians."
    "Coming out," however, has long been used in the gay community, but it first meant something different than it does now."A gay man's coming out originally referred to his being formally presented to the largest collective manifestation of prewar gay society, the enormous drag balls that were patterned on the debutante and masquerade balls of the dominant culture and were regularly held in New York, Chicago, New Orleans, Baltimore, and other cities." The phrase"coming out" did not refer to coming out of hiding, but to joining into a society of peers. The phrase was borrowed from the world of debutante balls, where young women"came out" in being officially
    introduced to society.
    The gay debutante balls were a matter of public record and often covered in the newspaper, so"coming out" within gay society often meant revealing your sexual orientation in the wider society as well, but the phrase didn't necessarily carry the implication that if you hadn't yet come out, you were keeping it a secret. There were other metaphors for the act of hiding or revealing homosexuality. Gay people could "wear a mask" or "take off the mask". A man could "wear his hair up" or "let his hair down", or "drop hairpins" that would only be recognized by other gay men.
    It is unclear exactly when gay people started using the closet metaphor, but "it may have been used initially because many men who remained 'covert' thought of their homosexuality as a sort of'skeleton in the closet'." It may also have come from outsiders who viewed it that way. It seems that"coming out of the closet" was born as a mixture of two metaphors: a debutante proudly stepping into the arms of a community and a shocking secret being kept in hiding. Now. the community is the wider community, and the secret is no longer shocking,"Coming out" is a useful phrase, but it need not imply a closet.

  • 第13题：

    The phrase "draw a plan" in this passage means__________.

    A.making a picture of a building or a room
    B.making a plan
    C.working out a plan
    D.pulling a picture out of a room

    答案：A
    解析：
    解答该小题的重点是要理解好“draw a plan”这个短语中的关键词plan。plan在本短文中反复出现了八次．第一次出现以动词形式出现，其他七次都是名词。作名词用时其常见用法有二：计划，方案；平面图，纸张。plan在与draw连用时。就表明：画一张建筑物的平面图。B项和C项都是把plan理解为“计划”或“方案”了，而D项则理解成“把一张图画从屋里找出来”，这是无稽之谈。由此答案非A莫属。

  • 第14题：

    A:cheer
    B:regret
    C:enthusiasm
    D:obstacle

    答案：C
    解析：
    本句意思：“参与者们正以极大的热情进行着这个项目。” zeal：热情。 enthusiasm：热情。例如：I have no enthusiasm for the job．我对这份工作不热心。cheer：欢呼，愉快。例如：A great cheer went up from the crowd．人群中爆发出一阵欢呼。regret：遗憾。例如：If you don't do it now , you'll regret it for your life．如果你现在不做的话，你会后悔一辈子。 obstacle:障碍，阻碍。例如：A lack of relevant qualifications can be an obstacle to finding a job．缺乏相关的资质是谋职的障碍。

    B

    being totally out of touch with business at home

    C

    missing opportunities for promotion when abroad

    D

    正确答案： C
    解析：
    语义题。“out of sight and out of mind”原意为“眼不见心不烦”。本段首句指出承担海外任务对于在公司内的升迁起着日益重要的作用。接着该引用部分下一句继续进行解释道“在另一个国家工作的行政主管可以相信海外任务对于公司计划的成功起着至关重要的作用，并且接受一个新的海外任务时，晋升往往会伴随而来”。由此可知此处指驻扎在外的行政主管担心，由于长期在外工作，领导无法看见自己的努力，因此会被领导淡忘，结果会错过晋升的机会。因此选C。

  • 第20题：

    问答题
    Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet　　Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent.　　Thanks to a variety of relatively inexperience communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.　　The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.　　Questions:　　1．What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?　　2．What is becoming more and more important to promotion?　　3．What does “out of sight and out of mind” (Line 2. Para. 3) probably mean?　　4．According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in 　　employing people today?　　5．What is the advantage of employees having foreign language skills?

    正确答案：
    1.Positive 题干表面是问作者对于高科技通讯工具的态度,但我们从全文可以感觉到作者对现代通讯是持正面态度的,因而对于其通讯工具估计也是持肯定态度的。另外,第四段中的”communications devices”与题干中的communications equipment相对应。而它所在的这一段说:由于各种各样的相对来说并不贵重的通讯设备用于商业,连小企业也能进入国际市场了。能进入国际市场自然是好事,所以作者明显是持正面的态度的。
    2.overseas assignment 文章第一句话提到Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks.,可见答案为overseas assignment。
    3.missing opportunities for promotion when abroad 文章第3段中He or she can be sure…an assignment abroad.及If an employee can succeed…more prevalent.就是对no longer fear being out of sight and out of mind的解释。
    4.Ability to speak the client’s language 文章第二段重点陈述了掌握第二外语,尤其是客户的语言的重要性。
    5.better control the whole negotiation process 文章最后一段提到The employee…who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations…。
