Family:Thismeansthatbusinessisoftencloselyconnectedtofamilyandthatthereisafamilynetworkthatbranchesoutregionallyandinternationally,providingefficientpolitical,financialandemotionalsupport,aswellasdistributionknowledge.ThisnetworkingisparticularlyobviousamongChinesewhocontrolhugebusinesssegmentsinAsiaandarebyfarthemostsuccessfulbusinessgroupintheregion.Theirlargepresencealsohelps--Singaporeis77percentChinese;Malaysia,45percent;Taiwan,aChineseprovince,99percent.IndonesiaandthePhilippinesalsohavesizableandprosperousChinesecommunities.ItisexplainedthattheimportanceoffamilygoesbacktoConfucius,whotaughtthatfamilyrepresentsrelationshipsthatonecantrust.AlthoughfamiliesintheWestmaybeconnected,theyarealmostneverascloselyconnectedasinConfucianAsia.ThisfamilydependenceisalsotreeinKorea.ThelargestcorporationinSouthKoreaisHyundai,amultibillion-dollarcompany.Headedbytheeldestbrother,thecompany'sfivemajordivisionsareeithermanagedbyoneofthefivebrothers,abrother-in-laworason-in-law.

参考答案

1.relaxedassertiveandconfident;apologetictentativemeekandimploring．relaxed,assertiveandconfident;apologetic，tentative，meekandimploring．解析：本题考察细节。详见倒数第3段：...youcanlearntosoundmorerelaxed，moreassertiveandmoreconfident．...bealertforvoicetonesthatsoundapologetic，tentative，meekandimploring."

2.C解析：本文虽然主要谈的是有关“体育和教育的问题”，但是并没有把这两者进行直接的对比，文章中出现了"Youngkids,energeticrambunctiouscoopedupinclass,yearnfortherelativefreedomthefootballfield,thebasketballcourt,thebaseballdiamond.那些精力充沛、调皮捣蛋的小孩子被关进教室后，巴望着橄榄球场、篮球场和棒球场，比起教室那可是自由天地。”这里并不表明“更加自由的”运动场就—定更受喜爱。

3.B解析：根据文章第五段第三句话“…gardenersnowtypicallybuyplantswhich，becausetheyhavebeengrownincontainers，canbetransplantedatalmostanytimeofyear”，实际上暖盆栽培园艺的发展使得一年四季都可以栽种花草，故此句话内容不正确。

4.B解析：文章第二自然段第一句extrinsicpolitical,economic,military,andreligiousmotivations...句中“extrinsic”意为“notcontainedinorderivedfromitsessentialnatureofthethinginquestion”，即是“外在的”，而非“内在的”。

5.C解析：细节题根据关键词trust查读小标题WhyTrusthCriticalinaHealthyOrganization?下面第一段第三句...theTrustofaspeaker
