31、mthetextthat_.A.sportswritersareatypeofaudience B.NewYorkTimesisagoldminecompanyC.DeniseGradywilldiscusspoliticalpolicy D.bookreviewsmayaffectbooksalesCThe discovery that language can be a barrier (障碍) to communication is quickly made by all who travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is

32、 tourism, research, government, policing or business, the lack of a common language can severely delay progress or can stop it altogether. Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to co

33、mmunicate has major results, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems or deadly accidents-even, at times, war. One reported example of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom. Noremedywas known, and two of the people died within days.

34、A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Possibly because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in Europea

35、n languages other than English.Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated (孤立的) examples do not give an impression of the size of the problem-something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situati

36、ons. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed that only 13 percen

37、t were for foreign language journals. The language barrier presents itself entirely to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticized for its assumption (设想) that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in

38、English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a matter to be considered first. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing letters; many had their sales language only in English; and as many as 40 percen

39、t employed no one who was able to communicate in the customers languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, especially the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English speaking countries were by no means free from the same problem-although the widespread use of

40、 English as an alternative (可替换的) language made them a bit more able to communicate with other countries. The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training projects have promoted an increase in language and cultural aw

41、areness. Many firms now have their own translation services. Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries (词汇表), to ensure consistency (一致性) when material is being translated. It is now much

42、 more readily accepted that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged or ruined by a failure to take the language needs of the customer into consideration.46. Communication problems may come to the attention of the public when _. A. somebody has died B. a serious traffic accident has happenedC. seri

43、ous results have been caused D. people have trouble in travelling47. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 2? A. doctor B. mushroom C. poison D. treatment48. What can we infer about American doctors from the case of the poisonous mushrooms? A. They probably only r

44、ead reports written in English. B. They hadnt read that report of the treatment. C. They didnt know how to treat such a case. D. They were unable to get reports written in other languages.49. Firms of English-speaking countries use English only when marketing their products because _. A. English is

45、their official language B. they dont know their products will be sold abroad C. people in their countries dont know other languages D. they think foreign customers will be happy when English is used50. Which of the following ways has been used by the British companies to solve the problem of languag

46、e barrier since the 1960s? A. Employing foreign workers. B. Setting up their own translation services.C. Providing English training for foreign customers. D. Stopping exporting goods to foreign countries.D Mo was waiting in the corridor outside her class. She was feeling sick. She had tow exams that

49、n shes ignored all my calls and texts .And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy. Shes forgotten who her friends are! said Mo angrily. Are you listening to me?

50、ollowed them.Mo couldnt answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her. Mo couldnt believe it!

Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon. Mo was feeling terrible. Why had she told Mr. Reed? But

54、it was too late now. And anyway, Terry didnt want to be her friend! Mr. Reed wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry was cheating in the exam.

56、 staring at her and Mo felt really guilty now. Why did she tell Mr. Reed?Mo was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. Mo, please wait I want to talk to you. Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Mo couldnt say

57、a word. “Listen, said Terry. Im really sorry I havent answered any of your calls, but were having a terrible time at home. My dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and hes in hospital.
