Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.www.test99.com Passage Onewww.test99.com Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.www.test99.com Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?www.test99.com Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.www.test99.com A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.www.test99.com Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.www.test99.com The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?www.test99.com Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.www.test99.com 11. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .www.test99.com A) generally possess certain inspiring characteristicswww.test99.com B) probable share some weaknesses of ordinary peoplewww.test99.com C) are often influenced by previous generationswww.test99.com D) all unknowingly attract a large number of fanswww.test99.com 12. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .www.test99.com A) they have a vision from the mountaintopwww.test99.com B) they have warm feelings and emotionswww.test99.com C) they can serve as concrete examples of noble principleswww.test99.com D) they can make people feel stronger and more confidentwww.test99.com 13.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because .www.test99.com A) they are popular only among certain groups of peoplewww.test99.com B) their performances do not improve their fans morallywww.test99.com C) their primary concern is their own financial interestswww.test99.com D) they are not clear about the principles they should followwww.test99.com 14. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .www.test99.com A) are good at demonstrating their charming characterswww.test99.com B) can move the masses with their forceful speecheswww.test99.com C) are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipswww.test99.com D) can provide an answer to the problems of their peoplewww.test99.com 15. The author concludes that historical changes would .www.test99.com A) be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitieswww.test99.com B) not happen with out heroes making the necessary sacrificeswww.test99.com C) take place if there were heroes to lead the peoplewww.test99.com D) produce leaders with attractive personalitieswww.test99.com Passage Twowww.test99.com Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.www.test99.com According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)” than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.www.test99.com Not surprising in these hard times, the student’s major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.” It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.www.test99.com Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic” fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.www.test99.com That’s no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job — even before she completed her two-year associate degree.www.test99.com While it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions — be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.www.test99.com Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company: no job. How shortsighted in the long run!www.test99.com But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机)：“Miss Baxter,” he says, “could you pleas send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”www.test99.com From the long-term point of view, that’s wheat education really ought to be about.www.test99.com 16. According to the author’s observation, college students .www.test99.com A) have never been so materialistic as todaywww.test99.com B) have never been so interested in the artswww.test99.com C) have never been so financially well off as todaywww.test99.com D) have never attached so much importance to moral sensewww.test99.com 17.The students’ criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with .www.test99.com A) the influences of their instructorswww.test99.com B) the financial goals they seek in lifewww.test99.com C) their own interpretations of the courseswww.test99.com D) their understanding of the contributions of otherswww.test99.com 18. By saying “While it’s true that… be they scientific or artistic? (Lines 1-3, Para. 5), the author means that .www.test99.com A) business management should be included in educational programswww.test99.com B) human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speedwww.test99.com C) human intellectual development has reached new heightswww.test99.com D) the importance of a broad education should not be overlookedwww.test99.com 19.Studying the diverse wisdom of others can .www.test99.com A) create varying artistic interestswww.test99.com B) help people see things in their right perspectivewww.test99.com C) help improve connections among peoplewww.test99.com D) regulate the behavior of modern peoplewww.test99.com 20．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?www.test99.com A) Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.www.test99.com B) Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.www.test99.com C) People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.www.test99.com D) Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.www.test99.com Passage Threewww.test99.com Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.www.test99.com New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away be fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.www.test99.com Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.www.test99.com Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的).www.test99.com Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.www.test99.com English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.www.test99.com The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.www.test99.com 21. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?www.test99.com A) Critical. B) Indifferent.www.test99.com C) Prejudiced. D) Positive.www.test99.com 22. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople .www.test99.com A) have to get familiar with modern technologywww.test99.com B) are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operationswww.test99.com C) are attaching more importance to their overseas businesswww.test99.com D) are eager to work overseaswww.test99.com 23. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means .www.test99.com A) being unable to think properly for lack of insightwww.test99.com B) being totally out of touch with business at homewww.test99.com C) missing opportunities for promotion when abroadwww.test99.com D) leaving all care and worry behindwww.test99.com 24.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?www.test99.com A) Connections with businesses overseas.www.test99.com B) Ability to speak the client’s language.www.test99.com C) Technical know-how.www.test99.com D) Business experience.www.test99.com 25.The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they and .www.test99.com A) better control the whole negotiation process www.test99.com B) easily find new approaches to met market needswww.test99.com C) fast-forward their proposals to headquarterswww.test99.com easily make friends with businesspeople abroadwww.test99.com Passage Fourwww.test99.com Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.www.test99.com In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they’ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise. Foreign travel is a national passion; this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘Let’s be nicer, ” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. “Nothing happens without competition.”www.test99.com Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well. Monopolies (垄断者) that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful (报复的) consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates. Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly stopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman. Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour. The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction (拍卖)，has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the first time, praise outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.www.test99.com 26. It may be inferred from the passage that .www.test99.com A) customer service in Israel is now improvingwww.test99.com B) wealthy Israeli customers are hard to pleasewww.test99.com C) the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israelwww.test99.com D) Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic oneswww.test99.com 27.In the author’s view, higher service standards are impossible in Israel .www.test99.com A) if customer complaints go unnoticed by the managementwww.test99.com B) unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numberswww.test99.com C) if there’s no competition among companieswww.test99.com D) without strict routine training of employeeswww.test99.com 28. If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, .www.test99.com A) they can have it fixed in no timewww.test99.com B) in’s no longer necessary to make an appointmentwww.test99.com C) the appointment takes only half a day to makewww.test99.com D) they only have to wait half an hour at mostwww.test99.com 29.The example of El Al Airlines shows that .www.test99.com A) revengeful customers are a threat to the monopoly of enterpriseswww.test99.com B) an ad campaign is a way out for enterprises in financial difficultywww.test99.com C) a good slogan has great potential for improving sevicewww.test99.com D) staff retraining is essential for better servicewww.test99.com 30. Why did Bezaq’s international branch lose 40% of its market share?www.test99.com A) Because the rates it offered were not competitive enough.www.test99.com B) Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service.www.test99.com C) Because the service offered by its competitors was far better.www.test99.com D) Because it no longer received any support from the government.www.test99.com Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)www.test99.com Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

They lack the kind of structure that 70 us to divide a human utterance into 71 .www.test99.com We can change an utterance by 72 one word in it with 73 : a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 74 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 75 means “danger!”www.test99.com This is why the number of 76 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case 77 point; it has about twenty different calls, 78 in human language the number of possible utterances is 79 .
