题目列表(包括答案和解析)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

  Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water.Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked.Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.

  A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness.About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”.Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.

  Fortunately, there's a solution.

  The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia.Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.

  Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of a problem.If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.

  Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety.Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.

  Of course, there are also technological alternatives.Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone.To find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.

  He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion.The company's description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year.You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day! ”

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.

interested in geographical knowledge
