14、s of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions.

15、 To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fa

16、ct that one cannot learn cultureone has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is around the world, following the model of Pepsi and McDonalds. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural diffe

17、rences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major c

18、hallenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all sha

19、re an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.C 31. According to the passage, which of the fo

20、llowing is true?A. All international managers can learn culture.B. Business diversity is not necessary.C. Views differ on how to treat culture in business worldD. Most people do not know foreign culture well.A 32. According to the author, the model of Pepsi_.A. is in line with the theories that the

A. both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual culturesB. both advocate that different

22、policies be set up in different countriesC. admit the existence of cultural diversity in business worldD. both A and BD 34.

24、rnationalizationPassage 2Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew,

25、there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. Last yea

26、r, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from homethe highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.To those left behind this form of desertion is a terr

27、ible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh

28、 life.Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “Its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating

29、an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”C 36. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle_.A. could not forgive him for taking the childrenB. had been expecting it to happen for some timeC. could not understand whyD. blamed herself for what had happenedA 37.

33、milies behind themPassage 3People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they

34、 had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion (侵蝕) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem, but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens

35、of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea. Angry owners have called on the Government to er

36、ect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go farther along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The d

37、anger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a h

38、ome for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home. B 41. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face? A. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.B. The washing-away of limestone cliffs. C. The rising of the sea level. D.

39、The experts lack of knowledge.B 42. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England _.

40、43. The experts study on the problem of erosion can _. A. lead to its eventual solution B. provide and effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worsening D. warn people whose homes are in dangerA 44. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because _. A. it

41、is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasB. the government is too slow in taking actionC. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsD. house agents along the coast do not support the idea A 45. According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people

42、should _. A. be aware of the potential danger involved B. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. take the quality of the house into consideration D. examine the house carefully before making a decisionPassage 4Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The busin

43、ess of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world. Few would argue with Fords statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspape

44、r has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the

45、federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment industry” or “show business”. The positive side of Henr

46、y Fords statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to American life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量) because the U.S. economic system is

47、 driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life. The negative side of Henry Fords statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big businessreferring to the biggest compan

48、ies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizingthe laying off of thousand

49、s of workers to keep expenses low and profits highcreates feelings of insecurity for many. B 46. The United States is a typical country _. A. which encourages free trade at home and abroadB. where peoples chief concern is how to make moneyC. where all businesses are managed scientificallyD. which no

54、astest or strongest athletes, the 1,830 competitors in the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan, 51 with all their hearts. At the closing 52 Princess Takamado of Japan made a speech. She said, “The past week was 53 smiles, gentleness and peace. I truly hope within my heart

55、that the entire world can learn something here. We can all learn from the 54 these special athlets have shown us.”The 55 of the Special Olympics is clear.
