15、 or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point
16、, however, we all question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a st
17、ory of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a few does beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a li
18、fe worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine, a hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may b
19、e famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountain-top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities.
20、Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change w
21、ould be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.(分数:6.00)(1).Although heroes may come from different cultures, they_.(分数:2.00)A.generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB.probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC.are often influenced by previous generationsD
22、.all unknowingly attract a large number of fans(2).According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that_.(分数:2.00)A.they have a vision from the mountaintopB.they have warm feelings and emotionsC.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD.they can make peop
23、le feel stronger and more confident(3).The author concludes that historical changes would_.(分数:2.00)A.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD.produce leaders with attr
24、active personalitiesAccording to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, todays traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)“ than at any time in the 17 years of the poll. Not surprising in these hard times, the students major obje
25、ctive “ is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.“ It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic“ fields is at a low. On the other h
26、and, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up. Thats no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the jobeven before she completed her two-year associat
27、e degree. While its true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributionsbe they scientific or artistic. It is equally tru
28、e that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs. Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out o
29、f business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run! But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a
30、 conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机): “Miss Baxter,“ he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?“ From the long-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the authors observation, colleg
31、e students_.(分数:2.00)A.have never been so materialistic as todayB.have never been so interested in artsC.have never been so financially well off as todayD.have never attached so much importance to moral sense(2).The students criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with_.(分数:2.00)A.the in
32、fluences of their instructorsB.the financial goals they seek in lifeC.their own interpretations of the coursesD.their understanding of the contributions of others(3).By saying “While its true that, be they scientific or artistic“ (Lines 14, Para. 5), the author means that_.(分数:2.00)A.business manage
33、ment should be included in educational programsB.human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speedC.human intellectual development has reached new heightsD.the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked(4).Studying the diverse wisdom of others can_.(分数:2.00)A.create varying
34、 artistic interestsB.help people see things in their right perspectiveC.help improve connections among peopleD.regulate the behavior of modern people(5).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.B.Managers oft
35、en find it hard to tell right from wrong.C.People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.D.Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. Its now a “global village“ where countries are only seconds away
36、 by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of do
37、ing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. 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.“
38、 He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the companys plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in
39、 the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international mar
40、kets. 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 isnt generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be
41、 equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys 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 t
42、he telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.(分数:12.00)(1).What is the authors attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?(分数:2.00)A.Critical.B.PrejudicedC.Indifferent.D.Positive.(2).With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople_.(分数:2.00)A.ha

44、to think properly for lack of insightB.being totally out of touch with business at homeC.missing opportunities for promotion when abroadD.leaving all care and worry behind(4).According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?(分数:2.00
45、)A.Connections with businesses overseas.B.Ability to speak the clients language.C.Technical know-how.D.Business experience.(5).The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can_.(分数:2.00)A.better control the whole negotiation processB.easily find new approaches to meet marke

47、e become wealthier and more worldly-wise. Foreign travel is a national passion; this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains suc
48、h as KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day“ has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, Lets be nicer,“ says Itsik Cohen, director of a c
