[单项选择]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 199], 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.

[单项选择]It is not unusual for chief executives to collect millions of dollars a year in pay, stock options, and bonuses. In the last fifteen years, while executive remuneration rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires are now commonplace.
Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top, and there are a number of chief executive officers with legendary bad tempers. It is not the boss’s job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates although the man with many enemies will be swept out more quickly in hard times; it is the company he worries about. His business savvy is supposed to be based on intimate knowledge of his company and the industry so he goes home nightly with a full briefcase. At the very top—and on the way up—executives are exceedingly dedicated.
The American executive must be capable of enough small talk to get him through the social part of his schedule, but he is probably not a highly cultured individual or an intellectual. Althoug
A. promotion depends on amiability
B. chief executives do not work hard enough at the top level
C. it is the duty of the chief executive to look after the well-being of his subordinates
D. a chief executive is expected to know more about his company and the industry

[单项选择]The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could 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.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during 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 take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that
A. a new regulation for all airlines
B. the defects of electronic devices
C. a possible cause of aircraft crashes
D. effective safety measures for air flight

[单项选择]Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth—but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.
Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) and instalment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others sh

[单项选择]There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to find children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic
A. their social roles are rigidly determined
B. most boys would like to follow their fathers’ professions

[简答题]A recent phenomenon in the choice of careers on the part of the college graduates is the increasing trend towards big companies. Few are interested in research fields. This is an unavoidable problem in a materialistic society,where tempting salaries and fringe benefits are offered by big companies to compete with each other to recruit students before they have completed their studies.On the other hand,as many big enterprises and even government departments tend to concentrate on immediate economic results and show comparatively little interest in long range research,there is a steady shift of scientists and researchers from the pure research to the applied field,where there are more jobs available with better salaries.All this has not only seriously influenced young people’s view on the choice of careers,but on education as well.Many college teachers deplore that fewer and fewer students these days acquire knowledge.

[单项选择]There is a closer relationship between morals and architecture and interior decoration (61) we suspect. Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths (62) they were afraid to see their own naked bodies, and this moral concept delayed the (63) of the modern white-enameled bathtub for centuries. One can understand (64) in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little consideration for human (65) only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about. Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit (66) in, because that was the only posture approved by society. Even Chinese emperors had to sit on a(n) (67) on which I would not think of (68) for more than five minutes, and for that matter the English kings were just as badly off. Cleopatra went about (69) on a couch carried by servants, because (70) she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should ha

[简答题]每个人一生中都该有个志向,否则他的精力便会浪费掉。每个青年人都力求成为一个有成就的人物,一个青年人只期望富有是不明智的,或只专心于求得权力与名望也是不对的。一个青年人希望做个有成就者,结果常常会实现,迪斯雷利(Disraeli)的故事是个例证。迪斯雷利开始过公众生活时渴望能成为一个学者及演说家,他在文学方面的成就比在演说方面的更为成功。起初他作为一个演说家是完全失败的,不过,他认为有把握克服障碍,遂以不屈不挠的精神致力于这个目标的实现。他的一些朋友认为他这个念头是愚蠢的,甚至是古怪的,但他坚持目标不舍,最后终于成功,成为英国曾经产生的最有丰富知识的学者与最雄辩的演说家之一。这个故事并不是引来说明:只有大学者或演说家,或二者兼而有之者才是有成就的人物。除了做学者或演说家之外,还有许多同样高尚与可敬的事业。它只是用来说明一个青年人须志向高远,因为“宁可志高而达不到目标,也不要志低而达到”。
