4、ns have long lured travelers to the worlds great cities. “It becomes, at least for some people, a kind of pilgrimage in the sense that you want to finally see the Statue of Liberty and its in New York and you have to go to New York to see it,“ said Witold Rybczynski, a professor of urbanism at The W

5、harton School of the University of Pennsylvania. “There isnt a second version of it anywhere else.“ This sort of unique attraction, combined with the excitement d city life and a concentration of cultural opportunities, fine dining, shopping and accommodations brings some visitors back again and aga

6、in. “Theres such a vast range of riches in a small, pretty easily navigated space. Thats definitely what attracts me to cities,“ said Don George, global travel editor for Lonely Planet Publications. Few large cities have remarkable natural scenic attractions to build upon, so they tend to rely on he

7、ritage and cultural sites to set themselves apart, according to Douglas Frechtling, a professor of tourism studies at George Washington University. Visiting cities gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, as the landed aristocracy in Britain increasingly sent their sons and occasionally the

8、ir daughters to round out their education on a Grand Tour of the celebrated sights and cities of continental Europe, Frechtling said. Americas nouveau riche adopted this tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and later, less well-heeled travelers joined the tourist ranks. “In terms of

9、what we might call mass tourism or middle-class tourism, that really didnt develop until after World War II,“ Frechtling said. “It was just too difficult and too expensive to travel.“ Navigation 101 Now the allure of big cities seems as potent as ever. The number of visitors to central Paris in 2004

10、, for example, is estimated at 25 million, according to the Paris convention and Visitors Bureau. New York City welcomed 39.9 million visitors to the five boroughs in 2004 and is expecting a tally of nearly 41 million for 2005, according to NYC to know who the decision makers are; to be familiar wit

11、h the business style of the foreign company; and to understand the nature of agreements in the country, the significance of gestures, and negotiating etiquette. These cultural differences lead to very different style of contract negotiation. There are enormous cultural differences between Asia and t

12、he United States. The classic difference is that in Asia, the good faith human relationship between the parties is central. In the United States, on the whole, there is a greater effort to have precise legal descriptions of everything that might happen, resolving every particular type of dispute tha

13、t can be predicted in advance. Thus, during negotiations, the United States party frequently likes to have a lawyer present and tends to be less ready to use a situation of simple negotiation between the principals. This does not mean that concepts of good faith and good faith relationship between t

14、he parties to a contract are not taken seriously in the West, but it does mean that in the legal tradition we axe looked forward to spelling out all the precise details and you should not be surprised if your Western partner asks you to do that. There is a good faith obligation as part of normal con

15、tract law under the United States and European law. A contract is a legally binding agreement which the courts will enforce. This definition, likes all definitions, is not perfect, but it does emphasize the most important element in all contracts agreement. All contracts are agreements, although not

16、 all agreements are contracts. So without agreement there can be no contract. But how do you prove the existence of agreement which is really no more than a state of mind of English judges, who are more interested in practical solutions than in abstract theories? They have found, from experience, th

17、at if one person makes a clear and definite offer and another person unconditionally accepts the offer, then it is reasonable to say that the two of them are in agreement. There is no attempt to look inside their minds to find out what they are really thinking: it is what they say and do that counts

18、. 48 Why is negotiation more complicated in international transaction? 49 In Asia, _ between parties to a contract plays an important role. 50 In the United States, _ is more likely to participate in negotiation except for the principles. 51 You should be ready to accept it if your western partner a

19、sks you to _. 52 How can you find out whether two parsons are in agreement or not? Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the b

20、est choice. 52 This year the combined advertising revenues of Google and Yahoo! will rival the combined primetime ad revenues of Americas three big television networks, ABC, CBS and NBC predicts Advertising Age. It will, says the trade magazine, represent a “watershed moment“ in the evolution of the

21、 internet as an advertising medium. A 30-second prime-time TV ad was once considered the most effective and the most expensive form of advertising. But that was before the internet got going. And this week online advertising made another leap forward. This latest innovation comes from Google, which

22、has begun testing a new auction-based service for display advertising. Both Google and Yahoo! make most of their money from advertising. Auctioning keyword search-terms, which deliver sponsored links to advertisers websites, has proved to be particularly lucrative. And advertisers like paid-search b

23、ecause, unlike TV, they only pay for results: they are charged when someone clicks on one of their links. Both Google and Yahoo!, along with search-site rivals like Microsofts MSN and Ask Jeeves, are developing much broader ranges of marketing services. Google, for instance, already provides a servi

24、ce called AdSense. It works rather like an advertising agency, automatically placing sponsored links and other ads on third-party websites. Google then splits the revenue with the owners of those websites, who can range from multinationals to individuals publishing blogs, as online journals are know

25、n. Googles new service extends AdSense in three ways. Instead of Googles software analyzing third-party websites to determine from their content what relevant ads to place on them, advertisement will instead be able to select the specific sites where they want their ads to appear. This provides both

26、 more flexibility and control, says Patrick Keane, Googles head of sales strategy. The second change involves pricing. Potential internet advertisers must bid for their ad to appear on a “cost-per-thousand“ (known as CPM) basis. This is similar to TV commercials, where advertisers pay according to t

27、he number of people who are supposed to see the ad. But the Google system delivers a twist: CPM bids will also have to compete against rival bids for the same ad space from those wanting to pay on a “cost-per-click“ basis, the way search terms are presently sold. Click-through marketing tends to be

28、aimed at people who already know they want to buy something and are searching for product and price information, whereas display advertising is more often used to persuade people to buy things in the first instance. The third change is that Google will now offer animated ads but nothing too flashy o

29、r annoying, insists Mr. Keane. Such ads are likely to be more appealing to some the big-brand advertisers. Spurred on by the spread of faster broadband connections, such companies are becoming increasingly interested in so-called “rich-media“ ads, like animation and video. 53 By saying “It will repr

30、esent a watershed moment in the evolution of the internet as an advertising medium“, the trade magazine suggests _. （ A） Google and Yahoo! share advertising revenues with television networks. （ B） The success of Google and Yahoo takes a turning-point to online advertising. （ C） Americas three big te

31、levision networks play an important role in the development of advertising medium. （ D） Google and Yahoo! build up their status in advertising. 54 Now, the most effective form of advertising is _. （ A） a 30-second prime-time TV ad （ B） a 30-second prime-time online advertising （ C） online advertisin

32、g （ D） most expensive TV ad 55 Why do advertisers like the new auction-based service for display advertising? （ A） Because more people can see the advertisement. （ B） Because the service brings them more profit. （ C） Because they only pay for results. （ D） Because the service offer more flexibility

33、and control. 56 Which of the following is not included in Googles new service which extends AdSense? （ A） Advertisers will be able to select the specific sites where they want their ads to appear. （ B） Advertisers pay on the basis of the number of people who browse the ad. （ C） Advertisers are offer

34、ed ads with animation. （ D） Advertisers will be advised on the contents. 57 Whats the main idea of the passage? （ A） Online advertising is more effective than TV advertising. （ B） Google and Yahoo! are challenging Microsoft in the field of advertising. （ C） Googles new advertising service could make

35、 the internet an even more valuable marketing medium. （ D） Online advertising is popular with advertisers. 57 Technology is a two-edged sword. Rarely is this as clear as it is in the realm of health care. Technology allows doctors to test their patients for genetic defects and then to turn around an

36、d spread the results throughout the world via the Internet. For someone in need of treatment, thats good news. But for someone in search of a job or an insurance policy, it can be all bad. Last week a corollary (推论 ) was proposed to the patients bill of rights now before Congress: a right to medical

37、 privacy. Beginning in 2002, under rules set to become law in February, patients would be able to decide the conditions under which their personal medical data could leak. They would be able to examine their records and make corrections. They could learn who else had seen the information. Improper u

38、se of records by a caregiver or insurer could result in both civil and criminal penalties. The plan was said to be an unprecedented step toward putting Americans back in control of their own medical records. While the administration declared that the rules as an attempt to strike a balance between t

39、he needs of consumers and those of the health-care industry, neither doctors nor insurance companies were happy. The doctors said the rules could actually destroy privacy, pointing to a stipulation allowing managed-care plans to use personal information without consent if the purpose was “health-car

40、e operations“. That, physicians said, was a loophole (漏洞 ) through which Health Maintenance Organizations and other insurers could pry (窥探 ) into the doctor-patient relationship, in the name of assessing the quality of care. Meanwhile, the insurers protested that the rules would make them vulnerable

41、 to lawsuits. They were especially disturbed by a stipulation holding them liable for privacy breaches (违背 ) by “business partners“ such as lawyers and accountants. Both groups agreed that privacy protections would drive up the cost of health care by at least an additional $3.8 billion, and maybe mu

42、ch more, over the next five years. They also complained about the increased level of federal scrutiny required by the new rules enforcement rules. One aim of the roles is to reassure patients about confidentiality, thereby encouraging them to be open with their doctors. Today various cancers and oth

43、er embarrassing diseases can go untreated because patients are afraid of embarrassment or of losing insurance coverage. The fear is real: an official noted that a January poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates found that one in six U. S. adults had at some time done something unusual to concea

44、l medical information, such as paying cash for services. 58 What can be inferred from “technology is a two-edged sword“ in Paragraph 1? （ A） Patients can benefit a lot from medical technology. （ B） People are suffering from misuse of medical technology. （ C） We should be aware of the danger brought

45、by medical technology. （ D） Despite treatment improvement, technology can be harmful. 59 Which of the following are the patients entitled to do in terms of the proposal? （ A） Be honest to their doctors. （ B） Control their medical information. （ C） Determine how to make their medical records. （ D） Ac

46、cuse the insurers of making use of their medical data. 60 How do doctors comment on the proposal? （ A） It may damage doctor-patient relationship. （ B） There is no controversy on this issue. （ C） It is defective and somewhat unreasonable. （ D） Doctors will tend to be involved in more medical eases. 6

47、1 What is the purpose of giving the example of January poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates? （ A） Patients commonly pay cash for their medical service. （ B） Patients are reluctant to tell their embarrassing illness to doctors. （ C） The Princeton Survey Research Associates enjoys the best rep

48、utation in conducting polls. （ D） The patients disguising of their medical information widely exists. 62 What does the passage mainly discuss? （ A） The feasibility and irrationality of protecting medical privacy. （ B） The governments appeal to protection of medical information. （ C） Patients should

49、enjoy more rights to their medical records. （ D） Doctors and insurers complaint about the proposal. 三、 Part V Error Correction (15 minutes) Directions: This part consists of a short passage.
