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. 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 fact 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 business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonalds. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences 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 challenge 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 share 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.1.According to the passage, which of the following is true?AAll international managers can learn culture.BBusiness diversity is not necessary.CViews differ on how to treat culture in business world.DMost people do not know foreign culture well.2.According to the author, the model of Pepsi .Ais in line with the theories that the business is business the world aroundBis different from the model of McDonaldsCshows the reverse of globalizationDhas converged cultural differences3.The two schools of thought .Aboth propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual culturesBboth advocate that different policies be set up in different countriesCadmit the existence of cultural diversity in business worldDboth A and B4.This article is supposed to be most useful for those .Awho are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversityBwho have connections to more than one type of cultureCwho want to travel abroadDwho want to run business on International Scale5.According to Fortune, successful internationalcompanies .Aearn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseasBall have the quality of patienceCwill follow the overseas local culturesDadopt the policy of internationalization1小题、【正确答案】：C2小题、【正确答案】：A3小题、【正确答案】：C4小题、【正确答案】：D5小题、【正确答案】：D【参考解析】：无第3题：Most shoplifters (商店扒手)agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known, in the business, as hoisting.But the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using a evidence a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their somewhat ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag.As she turned to go, Chadwick recalled, she suddenly looked up at the sputnik and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.For a moment she paused, but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store.1. January is a good month for shoplifters because _.A they dont need to wait for staff to serve themB they dont need any previous experience as thievesC there are so many people in the storeD January sales offer wonderful opportunities for them2. The sputniks hanging from the ceiling are intended _.A to watch the most desirable goods C to frighten shoplifters by their appearanceB to make films that can be used as evidence D to be used as evidence against shoplifters3. The case last October was important because _ .A the store got the dresses backB the equipment was able to frighten shopliftersC other shops found out about the equipmentD the kind of evidence supplied was accepted by court4. The woman stealing perfume _.A guessed what the sputniks were for C could see the camera filming herB was frightened by its shape D knew that the detective had seen her5.

The problem might be solved by another ambitious plan, says Roel Boumans, a coastal scientist at the University of Vermont in Burlington who did his ph.D. at LSU: shoring up the lowest land with a slurry of sediment piped in from the river. The majority of the buildings in the flooded areas will have to be razed anyway, he says, so why not take this opportunity to fix the root of the problem? The river could deposit enough sediment to raise the bottom of the New Orleans bowl to sea level in 50 to 60 years, he estimates. In the meantime, people could live in these areas Venice-style, with buildings built on stilts. Boumans even takes it a step further: You would have to raise everything about 30 centimeters once every 30 years, so why not make the job easier by making houses that can float. Whether that is technically or politically feasibleDay, for one, calls it not likely remains to be seen, especially because until now, the poorest residents lived in the lowest parts of the city. Any decision on how best to protect the city in the future will be tied to how many people will live there, and where. there may be a large contingent of residents and businesses who choose not to return, says Bill Good, an environmental scientist at LSU and manager of the Louisiana Geological Surveys Coastal Processes section. It is also not yet clear how decisions about the reconstruction will be made, says Good, Since there is no precedent of comparable magnitude. Every level of government is sure to be involved, and the process is likely to be ad hoc.Even with the inevitable mingling of science and politics, we still have a unique chance to back out of some bad decisions, says Good, who grew up in New Orleans. I hope that we dont let this once-in-history opportunity slip through our fingers in the rush to rebuild the city:1. The passage gives a general description of the suggestions to reconstruct New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.2. Two examples to deal with water are Netherlands and Venice.3. The canals have nothing to do with the flooding.4. The levees will be shored up further with clear long-term fate.5. The basic problem for New Orleans is the subsidence of Mississippi River delta.6. The key component of Coast 2050 is wetland restoration.7. The plan of Coast 2050 will get billions of federal funding.8. New Orleans will likely sink _ by 2100.9. Another ambitious plan is to shoring up the lowest land with a slurry of sediment _.10. How decisions about the reconstruction will be made is also _.1小题【参考答案】：略五、翻译第6题：Theres a man at the reception desk who see, ms very angry and I think he means (想找麻烦). 【参考答案】：to make trouble 第7题：Why didnt you tell me you could lend me the money?
