Section B16、D解析 16-18The rise of multinational companies, global marketing, new communications technologi

40、es, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR.Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the USleadership in PR is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the world's top f

41、ive public relations agencies were American -owned. In 1991, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their companies planning activities, compared to about one third

42、 of UScompanies that do so. It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR.Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has ne

43、ver been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts in knowing a second language.Finally, people involvedin PR abroad tendtokeep acloser eye on international affairs. In the financial area, for instance, most Americans read The Wall Street Journal. O

44、verseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, the latter two being publications not often read in this country.16.

45、PR? 18、A解析What do most Americans read in the financial area? 19、D解析 19-21When I was at school, my ambition was to be a pilot in the Air Force. But my eyesight wasn't good enough. So I had to give up the idea. I went to university and studied physics. I wanted to stay on there and do research, bu

46、t my father died at about that time. So I thought I'd better get a job and earn my living. I started working in an engineering firm.I expected to stay in that job for a long time. But then, they appointed a new managing director. I didn't get on with him, so I resigned and applied for a job

47、with another engineering company. I would certainly have accepted the job if they had offered it to me, but on my way to the interview I met a friend who was working for a travel agency. He offered me a job in Spain. And I've always liked Spain, so I took it.I worked in the travel agency for two

48、 years and then they wanted to send meto South America. But I had just got married. So I decided to stay here. Then we had a baby and I wasn't earning enough to support the family. So I started giving English lessons at a school in the evening.I liked the English teaching more than working for t

49、he travel agency, and then the owner of the school offered me a full-time job as a teacher. So I resigned from the agency. Two years later, the owner of the school wanted to retire, so he asked me to take over as the director. And here I am.19. Why did the man give up studying physics? 20、A解析Why did

50、 the man resign from the engineering firm? 21、B解析Why did the man start to teach English part time? 22、B解析 22-25The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist witha gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reportedwell ov

51、er 100 incidents thatcould have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.Radio Technic

52、al Commission for Aeronautics, or RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during "critical" stages of a flight, particularly takeoff and landing.Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban dur

53、ing all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during takeoff and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The diff

54、iculty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a labora

55、tory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.22. What may be the biggest safety threat facing airlines today according to the passage?23、D解析What is the source of electromagnetic interference that could have caused a number of incidents?24、C解析Why it is difficult to evaluate the danger of the electromagnetic interference to an aircraft?25、C解析Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
