Section B-|||-Directions: In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attacked to it.Each statement contains-|||-information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose-|||-a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter Answer the questions by marking the corresponding-|||-letter on Answer Sheet 2.-|||-Green Growth-|||-A)The enrichment of previously poor countries is the most inspiring development of our time.It is also worrying.The-|||-nvironment is already under strain.What will happen when the glabal population rises from 7 billion today to 9.3-|||-billion in 2050,asdemogrophers(人口统计学家)cxp and a growing proportion of these people can afford goods-|||-that were once reserved for the elite?Can the planet support so much cconomic activity?-|||-B)Many policymakers adop a and Westem-centric approa such planetary problems.They discuss ambitious-|||-regulations in global forums,or look to giant multinationals and wealthy NGOs to set an example.But since most people-|||-live in the emerging world, it makes sense to look at what successful companies there are doing to make growth more-|||-sustainable.-|||-C)Anew study by the World Economic Forum(WEF)and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG)identifies 16 cmerging--|||-market firms that they say are tuming cconnessicssim of competitive advantage These highly profitable-|||-companies (which the study calls"the new sustainability champi are using greenery to reduce costs,motivate-|||-workers and forge relationships.Their home grown ideas will probably be easier for their peers to copy than anything-|||-cooked up in the West.-|||-D)The most outstanding quality of these companic that they turn limitations (of resources labor and infrastructure)-|||-opportunities.Thus,India`s Shree Cement,which has long suffered from water shortages,developed the world`s most-|||-water-efficient method for making cement,in part by using air-cooling rather than water-cooling Manila Water,a utility-|||-in the Philippines,reduce the amount of water it was losing,through wastage and illegal tapping,from 63%in 1997 to-|||-12%in2010 by making water affordable for the poor.Broad Group,Chinese maker of air conditioners, taps the waste-|||-heat from buildings to power its machines.Zhangzidao Fishe Group, a Chinese aquacuture(水产养殖)company-|||-recycles uneaten fish feed to fertilize crops.-|||-E)Setting green goals is a common practice Sekem,an Egyptian food producer, set itself the task o I cultivating desert land-|||-through organic farming Florida Ice&Farm,a Costa Rican food and drink company, has adopted strict standards for the-|||-amount of water it can consume in producing drin-|||-F)These firms measure themselves by their greenery,too.Florida Ice & Farm,for example, links 60% of its boss`s pay-|||-to the triple bottom line of "people,planet and profit"The sustainability champi encourage their workers t-|||-come up with green ideas.Natura,a Brazilian cosmetics compa gives bonuses to staff who find ways to reduce the-|||-firm`s impact on the cnvironment.Masisa, a Chilean forestry company,invites employees to "ima unimaginable-|||-businesses"aimed at poore consumers.Woolwhe,a South African retailer,claims that many of its best green ideas-|||-have come from staff, not bosses.-|||-G)In emerging markets it is hard for companies to stick to one specialism,because they have to worry about so many-|||-wider problems,from humble infrastructure to unreliable supply chains.So the sustainability champions seek to shape-|||-the business environment which they operate.They lobby(游说)regulators Gnupo Balbo,a Brazilian o-|||-producer, is working with the Brazilian govemment to establish a certificat system for organic products.They form-|||-partnerships with governm and NGOs.Kenya`s Equity Bank has formed an alliance with groups such as The-|||-International Fund for Agricultural Development reduce its risks when lending to smallholders.Natura has worked-|||-with its suppliers to produce sustainable packaging,including a new "green" plastic derived from sugar cane.-|||-H)The firms also work hard to reach and educate poor consumers, often sacrificing short-term pr to create future-|||-markets.Masisa organizes local carpenters into networks and connects them to low -income furniture buyers.Broad-|||-Group has developed a miniature device for measuring air pollution that can fit into mobile phones.Jain Irrigation,an-|||-Indian maker of irrigation systems,uses dance and song to explain the benefits of drip irrigation to farmers who can`t-|||-read.Suntech,a Chinese solar-power company,has established a low-carbon museum to celebrate ways of reducing-|||-carbon-dioxide emissions.-|||-Rich because green,or green because rich?-|||-1)One could disagree with BCG`s analysis.Phil Rosenzweig of Switzerland`s IMD busines school has argued that-|||-management writers are prone to"the halo effect": they treat the temporary success of a company as proof that it has-|||-discovered some eternal principle of good management. The fact that some successful companies have cmbraced-|||-greenery does not prove that greenery makes a firm successful Some firms,having prospered,find they can afford to-|||-go green. Some successful firms pursue greenery for public -relations purposes.And for every sustainable cmergin-|||-champion,there are surely 100 firms that have prospered by releasing waste gas into the air or pumping toxins into-|||-rivers.-|||-1)Nonetheless,the central message of the WEF-BCG study--that some of the best emerging world companies are-|||-combining profits with greenery-is thought-provo Many critics of environmentalism argue that it is a rich world-|||-luxury: that the poor need adequate food before they need super-clean air.Some even see greenery as a rich -world trick:-|||-the West grew rich by industrializing (polluting),but now wants to stop the rest of the world from following suit.-|||-The WEF-BCG report demonstrates that such fears are overblown.Emerging-world can be just as green as-|||-their Westem rivals.Many have found that,when natural resources are scarce and consumers lack money,greenery can-|||-be a profitable business strat-|||-36.An air-conditioner manula the waste heat from buildings to supply its machines with power.-|||-37.Many critics of environmentalism hold view that greenery is a rich-world luxury because that`s not what the poor-|||-people badly want.-|||-38.Workers of the sustainality champion are motivated to bring forward green ideas.-|||-39.It is meaningful to study what successful companies in the emerging world are doing to achieve more sustainable growth,-|||-since most people live there.-|||-40.It is difficult for companies in emerging markets to keep focusing on one specific problem because they have many wider-|||-problems to worry about-|||-41.Although some successful firms have embraced greenery, it doc mean that greenery will lead to the success of a-|||-firm.-|||-42.It will probably be easier for companics to follow the home-grown ideas than those invented in the West.-|||-43. It has been found that greenery can be profitable when natural resources are scarce and consumers are short of cash.-|||-44.Sekem,which produces food in Egypt,set a goal to cultivate desert land through organic farming.-|||-45.To create future markets, the firms also make effort to reach and educate poor consumers,often at the cost of short -term-|||-profits.

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

  • "There is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today,unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a major change in the middle class,"declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts list a variety of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so extremely great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings clipped(夹住) by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give her security and moral support.Her mother agreed,"It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the delicate balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times-and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children struggling to establish separate identities,can end up with"a sense of inadequacy,defeat and failure."And aging parents,who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom,find themselves stuck with responsibilities.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work beneficially.63.According to the author,there was once a trend (趋势) in the U.S ____ .A.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents.B.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents.C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence.D.for young adults to leave their parents and live independently.64.Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest? ____ A.Young adults find housing costs too high.B.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.C.Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature.D.Young adults seek parental comfort and moral support.65.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that ____ .A.the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsB.there will unavoidably be inconveniences in everyday lifeC.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family goingD.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents66.The word"hassles"in the passage (Para.3,Line 4)probably means ____ .A.agreementsB.worriesC.disadvantagesD.quarrels
