3、问题: The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司), global marketing, new communications technologies, 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 U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the world’s top five 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 corporate (公司的) planning activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. 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 of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts (相对应的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson—Marshall’s U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country. Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Network). Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such things as foreign.According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened because of __.
选项：
A:an unparalleled increase in the number of public relations companies
B:shrinking cultural differences and new communications technologies
C: the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.
D:increased efforts of other countries in public relations
答案: 【increased efforts of other countries in public relations】

4、问题:London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because __.
选项：
A:British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companies
B:British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companies
C:British companies are heavily involved in planning activities
D:four of the world’s top public relations agencies are British-owned
答案: 【British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companies】

5、问题:The word “provincial” (Line 1, Para. 3) most probably means “__”.
选项：
A:limited in outlook
B:like people from the provinces
C:rigid in thinking
D: interested in world financial affairs
答案: 【limited in outlook】

6、问题:We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry __.
选项：
A:speak at least one foreign language fluently
B:are ignorant about world geography
C:are not as sophisticated as their European counterparts
D:enjoy reading a great variety of English business publications
答案: 【are not as sophisticated as their European counterparts】

7、问题:What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN?
选项：
A:American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.
B:The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.
C:People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.
D:People involved in PR should avoid using the word “foreign”.
答案: 【American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.】

8、问题:New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by 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.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.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, superiors 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).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.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.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.What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?
选项：
A:Critical.
B:Prejudiced.
C:Indifferent.
D:Positive.
答案: 【Positive.】

9、问题:With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople __.
选项：
A:have to get familiar with modern technology
B:are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations
C: are attaching more importance to their overseas business
D:are eager to work overseas
答案: 【 are attaching more importance to their overseas business】

10、问题:In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means __.
选项：
A:being unable to think properly for lack of insight
B:being totally out of touch with business at home
C:missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
D:leaving all care and worry behind
答案: 【missing opportunities for promotion when abroad】

3、问题:Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impact has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book, The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that the authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes—and more importantly predicts—how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance (监视).In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?
选项：
A:It transforms human history.
B:It facilitates daily communication.
C:It is adopted by all humanity
D:It revolutionizes people’s thinking
答案: 【It facilitates daily communication. 】

4、问题:How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?
选项：
A:They are immeasurable.
B:They are unpredictable.
C:They are worldwide.
D:They are contaminating.
答案: 【They are worldwide. 】

5、问题:In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?
选项：
A:It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.
B:It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.
C:It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.
D:It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.
答案: 【It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.】

6、问题:What will the future be like when everybody gets online?
选项：
A:People will have equal access to information.
B:People don’t have to travel to see the world.
C:People will be living in two different realities.
D:People don’t have to communicate face to face.
答案: 【People will be living in two different realities.】

7、问题:What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?
选项：
A:They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.
B:They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.
C:They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.
D: They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.
答案: 【 They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.】

8、问题:Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it?It wouldn’t be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because you couldn’t reproduce it in most of the US either. What does it take to make a Silicon Valley?It’s the right people. If you could get the right ten thousand people to move from Silicon Valley to Buffalo, Buffalo would become Silicon Valley.You only need two kinds of people to create a technology hub (中心): rich people and nerds (痴迷科研的人).Observation bears this out. Within the US, towns have become startup hubs if and only if they have both rich people and nerds. Few startups happen in Miami, for example, because although it’s full of rich people, it has few nerds. It’s not the kind of place nerds like.Whereas Pittsburgh has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no rich people. The top US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Carnegie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. Stanford and Berkeley yielded Silicon Valley. But what did Carnegie-Mellon yield in Pittsburgh? And what happened in Ithaca, home of Cornell University, which is also high on the list?I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to college at Cornell, so I can answer for both. The weather is terrible, particularly in winter, and there’s no interesting old city to make up for it, as there is in Boston. Rich people don’t want to live in Pittsburgh or Ithaca. So while there’re plenty of hackers (电脑迷) who could start startups, there’s no one to invest in them.Do you really need the rich people? Wouldn’t it work to have the government invest in the nerds? No, it would not. Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people. They tend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business. This helps them pick the right startups, and means they can supply advice and connections as well as money. And the fact that they have a personal stake in the outcome makes them really pay attention.What do we learn about Silicon Valley from the passage?
选项：
A:It leads the world in information technology.
B:It is the biggest technology hub in the US.
C:Its fame in high technology is incomparable.
D:Its success is hard to copy anywhere else.
答案: 【Its success is hard to copy anywhere else.】

9、问题:What makes Miami unfit to produce a Silicon Valley?
选项：
A:Lack of incentive for investment.
B:Lack of the right kind of talents.
C:Lack of government support.
