    Reading Comprehension

    Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．

    　　The rise of multinational corporations(跨国公司), global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR．

    　　Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, America's relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries．Ten years ago, for example, the world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned．In 1991, only one was．The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative．A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate(公司的)planning activities, compared to about one-third of U．S．companies．It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR．

    　　Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs．Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country．Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts(相对应的人)in knowing a second language．Less than 5 percent of Burson－Marshall's U．S．employees know two languages．Ogilvy and Mather have about the same percentage．Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language．Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs．In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal．Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country．

    　　Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN(Cable News Network)．Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts．According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign．

    (1)

    Compared with the American PR personnel, what is/are an advantage(s)of the non-Americans involved in PR?

    [　　]

    A．

    They tend to be more internationally minded

    B．

    They speak more and better foreign languages．

    C．

    They usually pay more attention to global financial situation．

    D．

    Both A andB．

    (2)

    What is the immediate cause of the downfall of America's public relations?

    [　　]

    A．

    The number of US public relations agencies had greatly decreased by 1991．

    B．

    Other countries have increased their efforts in public relations．

    C．

    On the global scale, cultural differences have significantly shrunk．

    D．

    The British companies are becoming especially sophisticated and creative in public relations．

    (3)

    It could be inferred that the author of the passage is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    an American

    B．

    a Briton

    C．

    Ted Turner

    D．

    an Asian

    (4)

    The underlined word “provincial” in paragraph 3 could possibly mean “________”．

    [　　]

    A．

    strict in thinking

    B．

    like people from rural areas

    C．

    limited in outlook

    D．

    阅读下面短文，从先入为主后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

    　　Money is a blessing when it is used correctly．　　1　　 is true of all other good things．They bless if used 　　2　　;they surse（诅咒）when misused．Many people do not seem to know 　　3　　 money is for．They want it above all other things．But they want to spend it chiefly on 　　4　　．

    　　Some boys and girls appear to 　　5　　 that money is used to buy good clothes,foods,toys and amusements．Some also seem to think that money is used to buy leisure（空闲）．They 　　6　　 that the greatest happiness is to 　　7　　 without work．But that is not at all what money is for．We should get nearer to the 　　8　　 than that．

    　　Money is our circulating medium（流通手段）in trade．Families need it to buy things they must 　　9　　．In this way society 　　10　　,and the world of traffic prospers（繁荣）．Money means food,clothing,housing,schools,books,wise amuse ment,and the 　　11　　 of doing good．

    　　Of course money is not something to store．Its value 　　12　　 its use．A million gold dollars would have been 　　13　　 no more than a million stones 　　14　　 Robinson Crusoe on his island home．There was nothing to buy,and 　　15　　,no use for money．And so money that is 　　16　　 stored is of no value．It is not used to buy the necessaries of life,　　17　　 help those who are in need．That is not what money is for．

    　　The Bible（《圣经》）　　18　　 that“the love of money is the 　　19　　 of all evil”,That is,money sought only for its own sake（缘故）is the cause of all sorts of evillying,stealing,cheating,robbery,and 　　20　　 murder．This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money．

    　　One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.

    　　The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s 　33　. It was full of scars, it had places 　34　 pieces had been removed and other pieces 　35　 in, but they didn’t fit quite right, and there were several 　36　 edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gaps where whole pieces were missing.

    　　The young man laughed. “ 　37　 your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars.”

    　　“Yes,” said the old man, “Yours 　38　 perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every 　39　 represents a person 　40　 I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they 　41　 me a piece of their heart that fits into the 　42　 place in my heart. But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we 　43　.

    　　“Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart 　44　, and the other person hasn’t returned a 　45　 of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gaps—giving love is 　46　 a chance. Although these gaps are painful, they 　47　 open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have been waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?’’

    　　The young man walked up to the old man, 　48　 his perfect heart, and tipped a piece out. He 　49　 it to the old man.

    　　The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart. It 　50　, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

    　　The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man’s heart flowed into his.
