Her ability to nego
30、tiate has been strengthened by the fact that most of the technology she wanted was not very secret. Japans position has also been strengthened by the fact that her internal market was large, so that access to this market could be offered to multinational companies as an incentive for them to grant l
31、icenses. Besides, Japans work force was literate and disciplined, so it was capable of applying the information it acquired. Finally, American and European companies might take a large share of the world market if they were not limited by licensing agreements. Conditions Of this sort, coming togethe
32、r in one nation, may well be unique, and the case of Japan may therefore not actually demonstrate that licensing is just as efficient as multinational ownership for the transfer of technology.In fact, Japan may be finding this method of operation less effective than in the past, as her needs for out
33、side technology now require information which belongs to only a few companies and is more closely held.Furthermore, her need to use the markets of other countries is beginning to weaken its negotiating power she once had because of her control of her access to her internal market.83 Which of the fol
34、lowing is NOT a reason for foreign companies to be willing to license the use of their technology?（A）The technology required by Japan is not very secret.（B） It might be easier for foreign companies which has transferred technology to Japan to enter the Japanese market.（C） Japan possesses high-qualit
35、y workers.（D）Licensing help Japan in expanding into the world market.84 Japan is cited as an example of _.（A）how to keep the internal market to Japanese companies（B） how to obtain technology from abroad（C） the success of multinational ownership（D）using licensing agreement as an effective way for obt
36、aining technology85 What is as efficient as the use of licensing agreements for the transfer of technology?（A）Multinational ownership.（B） Negotiation.（C） Opening the market to foreign companies.（D）Keeping foreign-owned companies out of industries related to national defense.86 The last paragraph ind
37、icates all BUT _.（A）in the past, Japan had the control of foreign companies contact with the Japanese market（B） now Japan needs to Sell her goods and services to other countries（C） now Japan loses the control over its internal market（D）now Japans business expansion abroad is becoming more important
38、than the need to control the internal market86 People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls o
39、f caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near Eas
40、t began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writ
41、ing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the wallsof the place. where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egypt
42、ians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to
43、write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over
44、 the world.These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work.
45、Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.87 Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because _.（A）the hunters wanted to see the pictures（B） the painters were animal lovers（C） the painters wanted
46、to Show imagination（D）the pictures were thought to be helpful88 The Greek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that _.（A）the former was easy to write（B） there were fewer signs in the former（C） the former was easy to pronounce（D）each sign stood for only o
47、ne sound89 Which of the following statements is TRUE?（A）The Greeks signs later became a particular alphabet.（B） The Egyptians liked to write comic strip stories.（C） The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.（D）The Romans copied their writing system from the Egyptians.90 In the last para
48、graph, the author thinks that pictures _.（A）should be made comprehensible（B） should be made interesting（C） are of much use in our life（D）have disappeared from our life90 People in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in the nations econom
49、y would bring social chaos. In the years following 1820 after several decades of relative stability the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. Accompanying that growth was a structural change that featured increasing economic diversification and a gradual shift in the nations labor force from agricul
