2、 terms of their conversational styles. In particular, she has been able to explain why gender often creates oral communication barriers. The essence of Tannens research is that men use talk to emphasize status whereas women use it to create connection Tannen states that communication is a continual
3、balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. Intimacy emphasizes closeness and commonalities. Independence emphasizes separateness and differences. So, for many men, conversations are primarily a means to preserve independence and maintain status in a hierarchical soc
4、ial order. For many women, conversations are negotiations for closeness in which people try to seek and give confirmation and support.2 What, then, does Drucker suggest are the new knowledge-based industries on which economic growth will depend? He discusses three categories of such industries. The
5、first of these is the information industry. This industry collects, stores, spreads, and applies knowledge It depends on the computer. In the future, however, the computer itself will probably become less important than communicating and applying knowledge. Drucker foresees a central computer that w
6、ill make information available to everyone. Another source of new industries is the science of the oceans. New technologies may help to supply food and minerals from the seas. A third new source of economic growth is the materials industry. This industry provides the materials for making objects. On
7、e such industry that has already become economically important is the plastic industry. Drucker explains that throughout history our traditional materials have been metals, glass, natural fibers, and paper. Today, with the help of modern science, industries can make many new materials to meet specif
8、ic needs. Because they will be created to fit a certain product, they will be highly efficient. Consequently, he points out, industries that supply traditional materials such as steel or glass will have trouble competing with those that produce these new materials.

9、TranslationDirections: In this section there is a passage in English. Translate the passage into Chinese and write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.1 【正确答案】 泰南的研究向我们提供了理解两性之间沟通风格差异的重要见解，尤其是解释了造成两性之间口头沟通障碍的原因。泰南研究的实质是男性通过交谈强调地位，而女性则通过交谈建立联系。她指出沟通是一种持续地取得平衡的行为，在互相冲突的亲密性和独立性之间进行权衡。亲密性强调融洽和共性，独立性则着重分离
10、和差异。因此，对于大多数男性来说，交谈主要是保持独立性和维护自己在社会格局中等级地位的手段，而对于大多数女性而言，交谈则是寻求亲密的谈判，每个人都在试图寻找或做出承诺和支持。【知识模块】 英译汉2 【正确答案】 经济增长要依靠以知识为基础的新型产业，那么，德鲁克所主张的这种产业指的是什么呢?他论述了该产业的三大类型。第一种类型是信息产业。信息产业收集、储存、推广和应用知识，这都要靠电脑来完成，然而，在将来电脑本身也许不如交流知识和应用知识那样重要，德鲁克设想利用中央电脑将信息向所有的人开放。另一种新产业的源泉是海洋科学。新技术有助于从大海中获取食品和矿藏。第三种促进经济增长的新产业是材料产业。该产业能提供制造物品所需要的原料，其中的塑料工业已经显示出其经济方面的重要性。德鲁克解释说，有史以来，传统的材料一直是金属、玻璃、天然纤维和纸张。由于现代科学的发展，如今的工业能够生产许多种新材料以满足特殊的需要。由于新材料可适应特定产品的生产需要，因此效率极高。德鲁克指出：“传统的原材料工业，如钢铁工业或玻璃制造业，在与新材料工业的竞争中，将会遇到很大的麻烦。”【知识模块】 英译汉
