Surprisingly,sincemodernPRwaslargelyanAmericaninvention,theU.S.leadershipinpublicrelationsisbeing

A・shrinkingculturaldifferencesandnewcommunicationtechnologies

B.increasedeffortsofothercountriesinpublicrelations

C,anunparalleledincreaseinthenumberofpublicrelationscompanies

D,thedecreasingnumberofmultinationalcorporationstechnologies

您的答案：o

参考答案：B

解析：本题询问的是美国在公共关系业中的领油地位的原因是什么。从文章的第一段可以判断A、D、C所涉及的三点是

公共关系业迅速发展和增长的原因，与题意不符。而根据第二段的内容可以肯定B为正确答案。

37Theunderlinedword"pro\incial"(Para.3)mostprobablymeans

A.rigidinthinking.

B.interestedinworldfinancialaffairs.

C.likepeoplefromtheprovinces-

D.limitedinoutlook.

您的答案：o

参考答案：D

解析：这里要求猜测单词“provincial”的意义。根据上下文，作者在指出“作为一个总体，美国人倾向

provincial”，紧接着又说“袈国人)对地方事务更感兴趣”，“这个国家袈国)的雇员的地理知识从来就不

是那么优秀“，可见provincial应具有与local类似的意思，四个选项中D“狭小的世界观”最为贴切；而选项B

“对世界金融事务感兴趣”与以上分析相矛盾；选项A和C”思维刻板的”和“像来自乡下的人”则无从推测。

38LondoncouldsoonreplaceNewYorkasthecentreofPRbecause

A.britishcompaniesplacemoreimportanceonPRthanU.S.companies

B.britishcompaniesareheavilyinvolvedinplanningactivities

C.britishcompaniesaremoreambitiousthanU.S.

D.fouroftheworld'stoppublicrelationsagenciesareBritish-owned

您的答案：o

参考答案：A

解析：“不久伦敦就会代替纽约成为公共关系业的中心”是文章第二段最后得出的结论，其依据在第二段“The

Britishinparticulararebecomingmoresophisticatedandcreative.Arecentsurveyfoundthat

morethanhalfofallBritishcompaniesincludePRaspartoftheircorporateplanning

activities,comparedtoaboutone-thirdofU.S.companies.M由此可见选项A“英国的公司比美国的公

司更强调公共关系的重要性”为正确答案。

39WelearnfromthethirdparagraphthatemployeesintheAmericanPRindustry

A・enjoyreadingagreatvarietyofEnglishbusinesspublications.

B-speakatleastoneforeignlanguagefluently.

C・areignorantaboutworldgeography.

D・arenotassophisticatedastheirEuropeancounterparts.

您的答案：o

参考答案：D

解析：从"InthefinancialPRarea,forinstance,mostAmericansreadtheWallStreetJournal.”可以判

断A是不正确的，而从<4AmericanlagbehindtheirEuropeanandAsiancounterpartsinknowinga

secondlanguage.”又可以判断B是错误的，"Knowledgeofworldgeography,forexample,hasnever

beenstronginthisco皿try.”只是说明美国人对地理知识不感兴趣而不是“无知”，所以C是错误的。然后

联系第二段"TheBritishinparticulararebecomingmoresophisticatedandcreative.”和本段主要讲

的是“美国为什么会在公共关系业落后”，可以得出结论D为正确答案。

40WhatlessonmightbethePRindustrytakefromTedTurnerofCNN?

A・TheAmericanPRindustryshoulddevelopglobalcommunicationtechnologies.

B・PeopleinvolvedinPRshouldavoidsuingtheword"foreign".

C・AmericanPRcompaniesshouldbemoreinternationallyminded.

D・PeopleworkinginPRshouldbemorefluentinforeignlanguages.

您的答案：o

参考答案：C

解析：根据TedTurnerofCNN所声称的"...theword'foreign'wouldnolongerbeusedonCNNnews

broadcasts可见CNN的发展方向要放眼全世界，把世界作为自己的事北的着眼点。作者之所以引用这个例子

是想以此建议“美国的公共关系公司也要更多地胸怀世界”，可见C为正确答案。
