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 mammers.

Language

A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways .First , people can communicate 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 , konwing the language helps people to understand the culture better.

Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong ,good and bad .An attitude is a way of thinking or acting . Values and attitudes influence international business. For example ,many people in the United States believe that chocolate lrom Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countrics , and they buy a lot of ot .

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 the 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 .Gailure to understand the customs and menners 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 _________. 【B】

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

58. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ________. 【C】

A. manners

B. values

C. attitudes

D. customs

59. What would be the best title for the text? 【C】

C. International Business Culture

D. Successful International Business

60. The author’s purpose of writing this article is to tell people ___________ 【B】

A. how to take a right attitude in business

The 1900 house

The bowler family was one of more than 400 families who applied to 1900 house, a reality TV shout which took a typical family back a hundred years to se how people lived in the days before the internet, computer games and even electricity.

The bowler family spent three months in a London home without a telephone, computers, TV, or fast food. The bowlers wore clothes from 1900, are only food available in English at that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul bowler still went to work every day in a then uniform. The children changed their clothes on the way to and from school and their classmates didn’t know about then unusural home life. Joyce stayed at home, cooking and cleaning like a typical housewife of the time, though everything took three times as long.

So does Joyce think that people’s lives were better in the old days?

“I think people in the old days had just ad many troubles and worries,” Joyce said.

And I don’t think their life was better or worse, there were lots of things back then that

I’m happy I don’t have to deal with nowadays, but on the other hand life was simpler.”“We had a lot more time with our family, and it was hard being nice to each other all the time,”eleven-year-old Hilary said.

So what did the Bowler family miss most about modern life while living in the 1900 house?

Paul,39:” telephone and a hot shower”

For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam.Spammers should be fined,and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people.E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently,but spam is destroying this conwenience.

59.According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam? 【D】

D

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family,friends,and colleagues.Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail ,I have an endless seriers of advertisement and otner correspondence that do not interest the at all.If we want e-mail to continue to be useful,we need special laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

This problem is troubling for inviduals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a https://www.360docs.net/doc/e217310266.html,panies rely on e-mail on on e-mail for their Comployees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local commnications networks,and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively.such a situationg results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repai their networks.These computer problems raise productton costs of companies ,which are,in the end,passed on to the consumer.

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一

61. C

There are many occasions（场合）for giving gifts in modern industrialinzed societies;birthdays,naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year, It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one’ s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift fiving.

62. F

What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social oblingation（义务）.

63. D

Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者）know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.

64. B

People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:“I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,”the woman said,“because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.”The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and

65. A

Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities （设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taugh him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）. Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

49．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

A. Because she received a degree in mathematics.

B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.

C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.

D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.

50．Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederio joliot?

A. At the Curie Institute.

B. At the Cniversity of Paris.

C. At a military hospital.

D. At the College of Sevigne.

51．When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?

C. In 1897.

D. In 1926. 52．In which of the following aspects was Irene Cuire different from her mother?

In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.

“You can’t say it’s not a great university,just because Papa went there.”

“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”

“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad,are they?”

“No,”she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”

Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. What’s more ,they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful ；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.

I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）.My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

53.The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because .

A．his father graduated from the university

B．his mother did not think it a great university

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, gentically mondified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solution?

Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential （潜力）of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop.

GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companics tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “ The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But nei ther is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.

At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.

As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.

57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly .

A. by classification

B. by comparison

C. by example

D. by process

58. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Control.

B. Evaluate

C. Obtain.

D. Increase.

59. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________.

A. practicing “green” farming

B. use of less chemicals

C. fair distribution of their crops

D. using more crops for fuel

60. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?

A. Optimistic

B. Defensive

C. Disapproving

D. Casual

61.As awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the langhs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to langhter in some important or positive way .

62.Many pcople mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don't .” This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.

63. The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.

64.Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.”

65.There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.

Last Sunday morning, when I was having a walk in the park near my home, I came across a crew make a new film with one of my favourite actor.

I didn’t have my camera with me at that time, but I rushed back home to get. Unfortunately, by the time I got back, they have finished the scene and actor couldn’t be seen everywhere. I was really disappointing and about to leave when he walked out a building. He was right there in the front of me! I

couldn’t believe my luck-not only did I had my photo taken with him, but he signed his name on my shirt!
