Africans have some reasons to be cheerful. The continent's economy has been doing fairly well with South Africa, the economic powerhouse, growing steadily over the past few years. Some of Africa's long-running conflicts, such as the war between the north and south in Sudan and the civil war in Congo, have ended. Africa even has its first elected female head of state, in Liberia. Yet there is no shortage of downers too. Most of Africa remains dirt poor. Crises in places like Cote d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe are far from solved. And the democratic credentials of Ethiopia and Uganda, once the darlings of western donors, have taken a bad knock. AIDS killed over gm Africans in 2005, and will kill more this year. So is it all just a case of irrational exuberance？ Meril James of Gallup argues that there is, in fact, usually very little relation between the survey's optimism rankings and reality. Africans, this year led by Nigerians, are consistently the most upbeat, whether their lot gets better or not. On the other hand, Greece—hardly the worst place on earth—tops the gloom and doom chart, followed closely by Portugal and France. Ms James speculates that religion may have a lot to do with it. Nine out of ten Africans are religious, the highest proportion in the world. But cynics argue that most Africans believe that 2006 will be golden because things have been so bad that it is hard to imagine how they could possibly get worse. This may help explain why places that have suffered recent misfortunes, such as Kosovo and Afghanistan, rank among the top five optimists. Moussaka for thought for those depressed Greeks. The statistics are employed in the first paragraph so as to indicate sort of ______. A．disparity B．numbness C．conformity D．stagnation

(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future. Complex international, economic, technological and culture change could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market, and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breath of English usage would consequently face new pressures. Those realistic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by David Graddol (47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities. David Graddol concludes that monoglot English graduates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations. Alongside that,(48)many countries are introducing English into the primary-school curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages. If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages, such as Spanish ,Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other language such as Japanese, French and German, spreads. (49)The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to UK`s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors. The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly &1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related explores earn up to &10 billion a year more. As the international education market expands, the recent slowdown in the number of international students studying in the main English-speaking countries is likely to continue, especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage. The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant:(50) It gives a basis to all organization which seek to promote the learning and very different operating environment. That is a necessary and practical approach. In this as in much else, those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it. 请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

Students of human migration speak of "push" and "pull" factors, which influence an individual's decision to move from one place to another. Push factors are associated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitable job, or as traumatic as war, or severe famine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost entirely by push factors (although pull factors do influence their choice of destination). Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often these are economic, such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to farm. In general, pull factors add up to an apparently better chance for a good life and material well-being than is offered by the place of origin. When there is a choice between several attractive potential destinations, the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence of relatives, friends, or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settle in. Besides push and pull factors, there are what the sociologists call "intervening obstacles." Even if push and (or) pull factors are very strong they still may be outweighed by intervening obstacles, such as the distance of the move, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering the new country, and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival. The decision to move is also influenced by "personal factors" of the potential migrant. The prospect of packing up everything and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and appallingly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another. Regardless of why people move, migration of large numbers of people causes conflict. The United States and other western countries have experienced adjustment problems with each new wave of immigrants. It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of society in the host country. Today it is found that movement between nations often exceed international movements in volume. A．True B．False

The demand for foreign exchange can be either transaction or speculative based. The transactions demand for foreign exchange comes from those who wish to make payment to a foreign country for the purchase of a good，a service，or a security purchased from a resident of，or a company located in a foreign country．A resident of the United States wishing to make a remittance to a relative in the United Kingdom would also affect the demand for sterling. The same would be true if the resident of one country wished to make a contribution to a charity located in another country．Speculative demand for a currency is generated by the confidence speculators have in that currency vis-à-vis other world currencies．This demand could be based on political and/ or economic factors，as demonstrated during the 1970s．For example，when the mark was strong and the sterling weak，speculators would sell sterling to buy marks． The supply of foreign exchange is provided by those who are willing to sell a currency they hold．This may include those who will receive payments in a foreign currency for the export of goods and services，the sale of securities to foreign residents，or the receipt of foreign exchange resulting from gifts or contributions made by foreign countries．International speculators arc also sources of supply when they feel the currency they hold is weak relative to other world currencies．

B: It’s quite difficult to make a kind of hierarchy of worry here, because so many issues are there, and so … and they’re all very very important. But I think it has to be said that as far as we we’re concerned, as a campaigning organization, it really is the rain forest that we are concentrating on most. If we don’t take action on that issue within the next five years, then environmental pressure groups won’t have anything to do in ten years’ time, because there won’t be any rain forests, really, for them to campaign about. So this is a critical period for the rain forests, the next five years, and there is enough flexibility in the system to allow us to hope that we’re going to be able to make some changes during that time. So that’s why we’ve made it our priority. A: What’s so important about the rain forests, then？ Er, what’s, what’s the difference between having them or not having them？ Isn’t it just, you know, basically either there’re a lot of trees there or there aren’t a lot of trees there？ B: Uhh…well that’s what some people would like to think. Um, there, it’s important in many different ways, important firstly for the countries themselves, in terms of the fact that millions of people depend on the rain forests for their livelihood, and for their … the quality of their environment, through the protection of watersheds, and so on. Secondly, they’re important because of the biological richness of the rain forests. Um, a genetic chest … treasure chest is how they’ve been described. Um, more than 60% of the world’s species is to be found in the rain forests. Write that off, and you write off that genetic storehouse. Lastly, they’re important at international level because of the impact on climate patterns that one would find if the rain forests were destroyed. So, whether you’re looking closely at the tribal people who depend on them, the countries which depend on them, the international community which depends on them, indeed the, the, you know, the creatures themselves, um, it’s actually the most critical issue that we face. And our prime job is of course to try and get people to understand how it is, even in countries where there are no rain forests, that they still have a connection with that rain forest. You will hear a recording about environmental issues. Mark one letter(A, B or C)for the correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording. According to the speaker, ______ is the most important environmental issues of the moment. A．air pollution B．water pollution C．rain forests

A．Right B．Wrong C．Doesn't say

In reality, however, early trading companies successfully purchased and outfitted ships, built andoperated offices and warehouses, manufactured trade goods for use abroad, maintained tradingposts and production facilities overseas, procured goods for import, and sold those goods both athome and in other countries. The large volume of transactions associated with these activitiesseems to have necessitated hierarchical management structures well before the advent of moderncommunications and transportation. For example, in the Hudson’s Bay Company, each far-flungtrading outpost was managed by a salaried agent, who carried out the trade with the NativeAmericans, managed day-to-day operations, and oversaw the post’s workers and servants. Onechief agent, answerable to the Court of Directors in London through the correspondencecommittee, was appointed with control over all of the agents on the bay. The early trading companies did differ strikingly from modern multinationals in many respects.They depended heavily on the national governments of their home countries and thuscharacteristically acted abroad to promote national interests. Their top managers were typicallyowners with a substantial minority share, whereas senior managers’ holdings in modernmultinationals are usually insignificant. They operated in a pre-industrial world, grafting a systemof capitalist international trade onto a pre-modern system of artisan and peasant production.Despite these differences, however, early trading companies organized effectively in remarkablymodern ways and merit further study as analogues of more modern structures. The author’s main point is that______ A．modern multinationals originated in the sixtenth and seventeenth centuries with the establishment of chartered trading companies B．the success of early chartered trading companies, like that of modern multinationals, depended primarily on their ability to carry out complex opertions C．early chartered trading companies should be more seriously considered by scholars studying the origins of modern multinationals D．scholars are quite mistaken concerning the origins of modern multinationals E．the management structures of early chartered trading companies are fundamentally the same as those of modern multinationals

Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderst anding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. (1) What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment？ A、The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B、The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C、The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D、The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts. (2) According to the passage, international business negotiation involves. A、short-term goals B、long-term benefits C、information and cash D、persuasion and compromise (3) In the foreign negotiators’eyes their American counterparts are. A、impersonal suppliers of information and cash B、skillful in negotiation C、good at establishing relationship between negotiators D、indirect and impatient (4) Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？ A、Foreign negotiators are willing to invest time in relationship between negotiators. B、American negotiator's directness and impatience cause cross-cultural misunderstanding. C、Americans has played a more effective role in international business negotiations. D、Foreign negotiators think that American can afford to pay the price without bargaining (5) What is the topic of this passage？ A、The differences between American negotiators and foreign negotiators B、Negotiation skills C、International business and cross-cultural communication D、Cross-cultural understanding
