Reading 50* (25 Questions – 60 minutes) (共25题 共50分)

31-37. 【拖拽题】 小题计分

Part 1（14*）
You are going to read a text about the founding of a city. Some sentences are missing from the text. Choose from the list (A-H) the most appropriate sentence for
each gap (1-7) in the text.

THE FOUNDING OF PHILADELPHIA

The woodlands were alive with color when William Penn arrived for the first time, in 1682. It was late October, still the best time of the year in the Northeast. But he

wasn’t there to admire the countryside. (1) He had already given it a name, of course. It was the same name as that of one of the early Christian

cities in Asia Minor which, when translated, means “City of Brotherly Love”. (2) Penn borrowed the name from them because it suited perfectly the

ideal community he had in mind.

The spot he picked, on the banks of the Delaware River, had a small harbor and a beach. (3) What he wanted, he said, was a “green country town”.

In his travels he had seen the great cities of Europe and hadn’t always liked what he saw. (4) His new city would have a plan for growth and that, he

was convinced, would make it one of the great cities of the world.

For openers, he ordered that Philadelphia would have no crooked streets. (5) He told his surveyors that he also wanted the roads to lead out of the

city, so that it would be convenient to reach other cities yet unbuilt. (6) He specified that no houses could be built within 200 paces of the harbor. (7)

And he asked that home builders center their structures on building lots “...so there may be ground on each side for gardens, orchards or field, that it

may be a green country town which will never be burnt and will always be wholesome.”

38-44. 【复合题】

Part 2（14*）
Read part of an employee handout regarding working with businesses in other countries. For questions 8-14, choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.

Like most companies in an increasingly globalised world, our firm does business with other firms abroad. Company cultures vary worldwide, and it is important for
delegates from our company to recognise how company culture overseas might be different from our own. This document will give you a brief guide to company culture
in the countries we associate with.

A. Russia
Until recently, people and businesses were oppressed by the state and this has affected people’s attitudes. It is not uncommon for laws to be ignored and taxes to go
unpaid. In some cases, only contracts between close personal friends are acknowledged. Therefore, networking is vital for successful business. Presently, the legal
situation in Russia is in a state of flux, with laws constantly being rewritten. Those that exist are often unenforceable. Most agreements are therefore made on a trust
basis, so it is vital that personal relationships do not break down. The management style is centralised and directive. Too much debate can indicate a lack of
decisiveness. Subordinates take orders from the ‘big boss’. Many westerners see this as a lack of initiative on the part of middle managers, but in actual fact, middle
managers have little power. Most delays occur because the question has not been presented to actual decision-maker. However, things are changing in Russia. The old
regime is gradually being replaced by western business style, and younger managers will have a much more modern approach than their older counterparts.

B. South Korea
South Korea is one of the world’s most successful economies, having seen five consecutive decades of high economic growth. When faced with adversity, South
Koreans change direction quickly and effectively. Despite the frantic economic growth, South Korean society is still very conservative and conformist due to the influence
of Confucian values. Companies are hierarchical and regimented and ‘face’ is very much valued. Consequently, change can sometimes be slow and painful. Managers
are paternalistic, authoritative figures who expect their instructions to be carried out obediently and respectfully. In return, they give their subordinates support and help,
not only in work issues but in home issues as well. Group harmony is important, so South Koreans avoid confrontation and blame, especially among people of equal
rank. Friendship is therefore vital to business success. The Korean saying 'make a friend first and a client second' sums this up exactly.

C. Australia
Australia has a relatively small population in relation to its vast size. Its geographic isolation and its small domestic market mean that international trade is essential to
guarantee future prosperity. Increasingly, this is done in countries in Asia rather than Commonwealth countries. Australian managers are not considered to have superior
status to other workers. Their jobs are just different. Authoritative management styles are not appreciated among Australian workers. Instead, managers adopt a more
consultative and inclusive style which encourages open debate. Challenging superiors is acceptable; indeed, it is a sign of commitment and professionalism. Outsiders
may consider such dialogues confrontational, but Australians regard them as effective ways to communicate ideas. Australian managers like to be seen as ‘one of the
boys’ and they are more likely to socialise with their team than segregate themselves and just mix with other managers.

D. UK
In the last half century, Britain, like many industrialised countries, has moved away from heavy engineering towards service and high-tech industries. With this has come
a major shift in management style. Hierarchical systems have been swept aside and replaced by modern business models, heavily influenced by the US. The ‘job for life’
is rare. Neither managers nor junior workers expect to climb the corporate ladder within one company; rather, they manage their own career paths by progressing from
company to company. Such short-termism can be frustrating for outsiders. British managers tend to be generalists rather than specialists, and are not necessarily the
most technically competent person in the team. Instead, they are expected to have the necessary interpersonal skills to ensure the team works together effectively. They
cultivate a close and humorous relationship with subordinates, which may be considered too soft. Giving direct orders can be seen as impolite, so managers often make
indirect requests rather than explicit instructions, which is sometimes confusing for non-British people.

Part 3（12*）
The reading passage has six sections 15-20. Choose the most suitable heading for each section from the list below.

Poverty

15.

Most of us have dreamed of what it would be like to suddenly find ourselves in possession of a large sum of money – for example, a lottery win, or an unexpected
inheritance from a long lost relative – and have imagined what we would do with the money. Many of us, depending on the size of the windfall and the advice of our
accountants, might set aside some money to help those less fortunate than ourselves or to give to a deserving cause. After that we would probably spend it on cars,
private jets and houses in countries around the world so that we can enjoy summer all year long.

16.

But have you ever imagined things going the other way? Suddenly, you lose all that you have: job, house, car, savings, and any safety nets such as health and pension
schemes. You will have the equivalent of about $1.25 a day to live on, which is one level at which the poverty line is drawn. That’s what’s called “absolute poverty”. It is
estimated that at least 3 billion people live on less than the equivalent of $1.25 a day – that’s not far off half the total world population.

17.

Then there’s “relative poverty”, which is slightly harder to define, especially if you live in a developed western democracy that has a functioning welfare system, as it is
largely based on comparisons within a given country. If relative poverty means not having an acceptable level of income compared with other people in the same
country, then this can lead to comparisons that would not make sense to a person living in poverty in an African village.

18.

In an affluent society, this relative deprivation could mean that you lack, say, a fridge-freezer, your own means of transport, a computer or the resources to acquire them
– as one report claimed. What were once considered luxury items are now thought of as essential. It is when this sort of poverty is compared with that of the poorest
nations that such measurements seem strange. Making do without a fridge-freezer or a car is a long way from searching in a landfill, not just for items to clean up and
make use of or possibly sell on, but for something to eat.

19.

But it’s not just lack of material possessions and cash that define poverty. It must be obvious that not having these resources cuts you off from so much else – from
opportunities to improve your situation, from full participation in society. It also has an effect on a person’s pride and dignity. It is the poor that suffer most from
malnutrition, lack of education and health problems.

20.

The poor are always with us, as the saying goes. And they are becoming more visible – not just because we are more aware of the problem of world poverty than before.
It is also because the gap between rich and poor in affluent countries is getting wider. That means poverty is beginning to be felt by many people who thought that it was
a problem that existed only in far-away countries.

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco achieved worldwide fame almost immediately after its completion in 1937, not just because it was a technical masterpiece but
