16、he other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be (79) to invest time in it for longterm benefitsIn order to (80) the relationship, they may opt for (81) interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator(分数:70.00)A.however B.
17、henceC.furthermoreD.therefore解析:解析 前文说了国际商务交流中需要良好的外语水平和跨文化交际技巧,这里说美国人在这两方面都不在行,可见前后存在转折关系,故答案为 however。B)hence 意为“因而,从此”,表因果;C)furthermore 意 为“此外,而且”,表递进;D)therefore 意为“因此,所以”,也表因果。A.fulfillmentB.success C.masterD.privilege解析:解析 根据句中的 consequently 可知,“have not enjoyed the same level of 63 in negoti
18、ation”是 have not been well trained in either area 导 致的结果,技巧不行只能导致谈判的失败,即不成功,故答案为 success(成功),“success in”通常指在某方面的成功。A) fulfillment(实行,履行)在词义上有一定的干扰,但它后面通常不 接介词 in,而接 of;C)master(熟练技工,能手)和 D)privilege (特权,特别待遇)都与语境不符。A.enemiesB.counterparts C.cooperatorsD.entrepreneurs解析:解析 根据句意,所填词是指其他国家的谈判者,也就是和美国谈
19、判者拥有相同身份的人,故答案为 counterparts(对等的人)。A)enemies(敌人,仇敌)语义不符;C)cooperators(合作者)和 D)entrepreneurs (企业家)都不能指代所有的谈判者。A.procedureB.progressC.process D.proceeding解析:解析 谈判是一种过程,因此 process 符合。A)procedure 意为“程序,手续”;B)progress 意为“进步,发展”;D)process 意为“程序,进行”,都不符合题意。A.forwardB.forth C.beforeD.towards解析:解析 back and f
20、orth 是固定搭配,意为“来回地”。句子大意:谈判就是为了达成同一目的而来回交流的过程。A.includesB.concludesC.conductsD.involves 解析:解析 persuasion(说服)and compromise(妥协,折中)是谈判经常要涉 及的内容,A)includes、D)involves 两项都有“包含,涉及”的意思。include 强调“包括作为整体的一部分”,而involve 指“由于同主要的有联系而必须含有”,此处主要是指有联系而必须含有,故答案为involves。B)concludes(推断,断定)和 C)conducts(引导,管理)都不合语义。A
21、.participate B.indulgeC.attendD.blend解析:解析 所填词要能介词 in 连用,A)participate、B)indulge、D)blend 三项都符合,parficipate in 表示“参加”;indulge in 表示“沉湎于”;blend in 意为“融入,昆合”。动词短语后面接的宾语 either one 指的 是 either negotiating,显然能构成合理搭配是 paricipate。A.thatB.whatC.which D.case解析:解析 本题考查的是定语从句的引导词。空格前有介词,从句的关系代词指 的又是物,所以只能用 whi
22、ch 而不能用 that。A.arrivedB.gainedC.facilitatedD.reached 解析:解析 reach a compromise 是惯用搭配,意为“互让和解,达成妥协”。A.wealthy B.sensitiveC.poorD.rude解析:解析 本句话是该段的中心句,后文的内容是对其的具体阐述。后文中提到 the mnleI-ican represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation,选项中 只有 wealthy(富裕的)才能与其形成语义复现。B)sensitive(敏感的,灵敏的)、C)poor(贫穷的,可怜的
23、)、D)rude(粗鲁的,无礼 的)都脱离了语境。此处句意:在国外很多国际商务谈判中,美国人 都被认为是有钱但不具人情味儿的。A.claimingB.communicatingC.exchangingD.bargaining 解析:解析 能和句中的 foreign negotiator 形成同一个语义场景的只有 bargaining (讨价还价)。A)claiming(声称,主张)、B)communicating(交流,沟通)、C)exchanging(交流,交换,交易)都不符合题意。 此处句意:国外的谈判者们通常觉得美国人代表着有着数百万美元资产的大公司,能够支付得起任何价钱,而且从来都不讨
24、价还价。A.whatB.that C.itD.those解析:解析 分析可知,所填词应该是代替前面的名词 role,四个选项里只有 that 有这种用法。此处句意:美国谈判者的角色演变成了一个不通人情、 到处传播信息、挥洒金钱的人。A.studies B.discussionsC.investigationsD.seminars解析:解析 本段话讲的都是有关美国谈判者的研究,因此 studies 为答案。B)discussions(讨沦,辩论)和 D)seminars(研究会)完全脱离了语境;C)investigations 有一定的干扰性,但它通常是指“详尽的,正式的或官方的调查”,本段话中
25、没有涉及这个层面上的含义,故不选。A.attachB.compareC.accordD.serve 解析:解析 四个选项都能和介词 to 构成动词短语,但是 attach 与 compare 后要加宾语再加to,attach sth.to 意为“使依恋,把放在”;compare sth.to 意为“比拟,比作”;accord to 意为“根据”;serve to 意为 “用来(足以)”。故答案为 serve。A.conceptB.perception C.realizationD.feeling解析:解析 perception 和上一段开头的 perceive 构成同源词复现,故答案为 per
26、ception(理解,感知)。C)realization(实现,完成)和 D)feeling (感情,知觉)语义不符;A)concept(观念,概念)干扰性比较大,但它指的是抽象、总称的概念,用在此处不合适。A.specialB.particular C.essentialD.private解析:解析 in particular 是固定搭配,意为“尤其”,符合此处语义,故答案为 particular。其他几个单词中,只有 D)private 前面可以用 in,意为“私下的”,但语义不符。此处句意:尤其有两个特点导致了跨文化的误解,那就是美国谈判者的率直和急躁。A.on B.inC.atD.wi
27、th解析:解析 on the pat of 为固定搭配,意为“在方面,就而言”,故答案为 on。A.disgustedB.willing C.reluctantD.easy解析:解析 由句中的 on the other hand 可知,本句和上句是在将外国谈判者和美国谈判者进行对比。上句提到美国谈判者是 often insist on realizing short-term goals,由此可知外国谈判者们更倾向于 invesl,time in it for long-term benefits,be willing to do sth.意为“愿意做某事”,符合此处语义,故答案为 willi
28、ng。A)disgusted(厌恶的,厌烦的)、C)reluctant (勉强的,不情愿的)、D)easy(容易的,随便的)都不符合语义。A.strengthB.proceedC.tightenD.solidify 解析:解析 此处想要表达的意思为“巩固这种关系”,A)strengthen 和 D) solidify 符合。但strengthen 一般指加强力量,所以排除,故答案为 solidify(使巩固,使团结)。B)proceed 意为“进行,继续下去”, 是不及物动词,后面不能直接跟宾语,故可排除;tighten 意为“拉 紧”,与宾语 the relationship 搭配不当,故也
29、不选。A.directB.indirect C.effectiveD.efficient解析:解析 前文说到美国人的特点是直率,相比之下,其他国家的谈判者会比较 喜欢委婉的方式,故答案为 indirect(间接的,迂回的),它和本段第 二句话中的 directness 构成反义同现。A)direct(直接的,径直的)、 C)effective(有效的)、D)eITicient(生效的,有效率的)均不符合上下文语义。二、Directions:Complete (总题数:5,分数:35.00)1.Were I in your place,_(我会毫不犹豫地抓住机会)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(
30、I would seize the opportunity without hesitation)解析:考点 本题主要考查虚拟语气及倒装句式。解析 在非真实条件句中如果有 were,had,should 这三个词,可以省去 if,采用主渭倒装的形式来表示条件。前句 Were I in your place 提示本句是对现在事实的假设,所给汉语部分译文的谓语动词应用“would+ 动词原形”。2.Sam persuaded his wife tO accompany them back to the woods,_ (在那里,Jim 重复了他的表演)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(where/i
31、n whichJim repeated the performance)解析:考点 本题主要考查定语从句。解析 分析句子意思可知,所给汉语部分是修饰 the woods 的定语从句。the woods“树林”为地点名词,所以该定语从句的引导词应是 where 或 “介词+which”。3.The survival of a forest depends not only on amount of annual rainfall it receives, _(还依赖于雨水的季节性分配)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(but(also)on the seasonal distribution of
32、 the rain)解析:考点 本题主要考查并列结构。解析 所给英语部分中的 not only 提示汉语部分中的“还”应用 but also 来 表达。“not onlybut(also)”意为“不仅,而且(还)”,连接并列成分,在本句中连接的是两个并列的介宾短语,所以 but(also) 后的介词 on 不应省略。4.Everywhere he went he was told that this was a land cursed by the devil and_ (一切只会永无止境地越变越糟)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(that things were going to get worse folaU eternity)解析:考点 本题主要考查宾语从句。解析 并列连词 and 提示,所给汉语部分也是 told 的宾语,同样应由 that 引导。根据句子意思可知,此处应使用过去进行时表将来。5.Only when you adjust down your price_(我们才能做成这笔买卖)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(can we conclude the business)解析:考点 本题主要考查倒装。解析 “only+时间状语”位于句首时,句子通常需要部分倒装。“做成买卖”可以用 conclude the business 来表达。
