For each of them, there are four choi
17、ces marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the center.Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship.

18、at is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and community who will listen. But a hew floes beyond mere fam
19、e.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.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine, they experience life with new depth,
20、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? 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 th
21、at their fans find life more abundant?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 Lu
22、ther 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.（分数：5.00）(1).Although her
23、oes may come form different cultures, they _ .（分数：1.00）A.generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB.probably sham some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC.are often influenced by previous generationsD.all unknowingly attract a large number of fans(2).According to the passage, heroes are compare
24、d to high-voltage transformers in that _ .（分数：1.00）A.they have a vision from the mountaintopB.they have warm feelings and emotionsC.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principleD.they can make people feel stronger and mine confident(3).Madonna and Michael Jackson axe not considered heroes b

27、d _ .（分数：1.00）A.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD.produce leaders with attractive personalitiesAccording to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 18
28、8, 000 students, todays 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.Not surprising in these hard times, the students major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meanin
29、gful philosophy of life. It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting“.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.Thats
30、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.While its true that we all need a career, it is equally tame that our civiliza
31、tion has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed flora our own and that we are better for ear 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 importan
32、t, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.Weekly we mad 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 !But the most important
33、 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,
34、 “could you please send in someone who can distinguish fight from wrong?“From the long-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the authors observation, college students _ .（分数：1.00）A.have never been so materialistic as todayB.have never been so int
35、erested in the artsC.have never been so financially well off as todayD.have never attached so much importance to mural sense(2).The students criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with _ .（分数：1.00）A.the influences of their instructorsB.the financial goals they seek in lifeC.their own in
36、terpretations of the coursesD.their understanding of the contributions of others(3).By saying “While its true that, be they scientific or artistic“ (Lines 1-3, Para, 5), the author means that _ .（分数：1.00）A.business management should be included in educational programsB.human wisdom has accumulated a
37、t an extraordinarily high speedC.human intellectual development has reached new heightsD.the importance of a broad education should net be overlooked(4).Studying the diverse wisdom of others can _ .（分数：1.00）A.create varying artistic interestsB.help people see things in their right perspectiveC.help
38、improve connections among peopleD.regulate the behavior of modem people(5).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.B.Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.C.People engaged in technical jobs le
39、ad a more rewarding life.D.Career seekers should not loons on immediate interests only.New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. Its new a “global village“ where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit fro
40、m this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modem businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modem markets, success overseas often helps support dome
41、stic 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 companys plan fo
42、r 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
43、 are becoming more and 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-g
44、rowing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isnt 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 countrys principal language has an o
45、pportunity 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.（分数：5.00）(1).What is th
