Asbusinesshasbecomeincreasinglyinternationalandcommunicationstechnologycontinuestodevelop,theneedforclearlyunderstoodcommunicationbetweenmembersofdifferentculturesisevenmorecrucial.

Growingcompetitionforinternationalmarketsisanotherreasonthatcompaniesmustconsiderculturaldistinctions.AsSecretaryofCommerceRobertMosbacherindicated,"Americancompanieshavetorelyonallavailabletacticsforwinningintheglobalmarketplacetoday.Learninginternationalbusinessdiplomacyshouldbethefirststeptheytake."

参考答案

1.C解析：本题一个重要线索是China，根据该词可迅速把搜索范围确定在第二部分第二段。根据该段(特别是最后一句)，没有提到鱼，因此，我们无法进行正误判断，只能填NG(没有说到)。

2.NN解析：细节题。在飓风的风眼，风力最强。在characteristicsofhurricanes部分第一段提到eyewall周围风力最强，而在风眼里几乎风平浪静。

3.Y解析：题目是对原文该句中第2个分旬andalthough…的近义改写，因此本题答案为Y。

4.solararraysolararray解析：由题干中的LewisCenter定位到第四段第五句TheLewisCenteratOberlin，openedin2000，wasoneofthefirsts．It'spoweredentirelybysolararrays。此处需要填入名词性成分作from的宾语。本题考查LewisCenter中所使用的能量的来源，通过原文可知，其主要是通过太阳光线来提供能量，题干中energysource和原文poweredentirelyby相对应，故此处答案为solararray。

5.muchabouttherestofEuropemuchabouttherestofEurope解析：根据题干中的信息词Swissspaghettiharvest定位到第五个小标题，该部分最后一段提到，Boese表示，英国人不太了解欧洲其他国家。再结合上文可知，这正是许多英国人相信瑞士的意大利面条大丰收的原因。

6.illgroundedillgrounded解析：从“However，thereisevidencetosuggestthesefearsareillfounded．Forexample，thedepartmentsofchemicalandelectricalengineeringatImperialcollege，London，haveformanyyearsofferedtheirstudentstuitioningivingtalks．”中，我们可以得出结论。

7.about5minutesto10about5
