Ⅱ.阅读理解
As more Americans go to Chinese mainland to take jobs,more Chinese and Americans are working side by side.These crosscultural partnerships,while beneficial in many ways,are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience,pay levels and communication.
In the last few years,a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment,attracted by its fastergrowing economy and lower jobless rate.Their Chinese coworkers are often around the same age.But the two groups were raised differently.The Americans have had more exposure to freemarket principles.“Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment,”said Neng Zhao,28,a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital,a private firm based in Beijing.“We weren't.So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”
Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience.Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts,said Michael Norman,senior vice president as Sibson Consulting,an American firm.That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers.“There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work,”said Ting Wang,25,an associate at Wild China,a travel company based in Beijing.On the other hand,Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences,like Confucianism and Communism,which play a part in their country's culture and economy.
It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust,said Mr.Norman,who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.
“In the West,there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly,but when you come to work in China,you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business,”he said.
1.More Americans go to China to take jobs because________.
A.they want to experience different cultures
B.Chinese workers are easier to cooperate
C.they can't find proper jobs in America
D.the economy of China is developing rapidly
解析 细节理解题。根据文章的第二段第一句“...attracted by its fastergrowing economy and lower jobless rate.”可知答案为D。
答案 D
2.What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A.Crosscultural conflicts.
B.Crosscultural partnerships.
C.Multinational companies in China.
D.Different pays for the same work.
解析 主旨大意题。文章的第一段就点出了主题“These crosscultural partnerships,while beneficial in many ways,are also highlighting tensions...”故选B。
答案 B
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Americans benefit more from working in China.
B.Chinese and American employees have the same experience.
C.Young Chinese can benefit from crosscultural partnerships.
D.More Americans working in China cause higher jobless rate.
解析 写作意图题。本文讲的是这种跨文化的合作存在许多益处,由文章的第三段可知中国的年轻人在这种跨文化的合作中得到的好处多。故选C。
答案 C
4.What does the underlined word“imbalance”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Unfair pay levels.
B.Different working experience.
C.Unequal opportunities.
D.Different upbringing environment.
解析 词义猜测题。由第三段“Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts...”知这种不平衡是指薪酬的不平衡。
答案 A
Ⅲ.书面表达

Let's Go Cycling!
As_is_depicted_in_the_picture_above,we _can _see_ that_ the_ streets_ are_ filled
_with_so_many_cars_that_the_traffic_jams_happen_very_frequently,which_ has_ very _bad _influence _on_ the_ life_ of_ the_ people.
Nowadays we Chinese people are living a comparatively rich life.People buy cars to go out very conveniently.But what we have to mention is that so many cars on the road might not be a good thing for the city traffic.Sometimes it is easy to get jammed.Always using cars is not good for health and it produces to some degree air pollution.
The bicycle is a Chinese traditional stereotype.Many people like to go cycling.Cycling is recreation,a sport,and a means of transport.The bicycle is an efficient means of transportation.In fact,cycling is more efficient than any other method of travel!It is absolutely an energysaving means of transportation.
Let's go cycling!
