Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社會(huì)), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In the USA, it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(請(qǐng)求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
1.What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?
A. Their different ways of doing business.
B. Their different lifestyles.
C. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.
D. The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.
2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?
A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.
B. give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.
C. attract foreign businessmen’s attention.
D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.
3.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.
B. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.
C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.
D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.
4.From the passage we can infer(推斷) that __________.
A. Japanese businessmen are good at business
B. foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business
C. foreign businessmen must be more polite
D. you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed
1.A
2.D
3.C
4.B
【解析】
試題分析:短文大意:日本和世界其他國(guó)家之間的密切接觸者在第二十世紀(jì)創(chuàng)建。在過(guò)去的四十年中,日本和西方之間的業(yè)務(wù)往來(lái),已成為非常重要的。許多外國(guó)公司和日本商人在世界上做生意,現(xiàn)在在日本設(shè)立辦事處。然而,日本和西方做生意的方式是有差異的。這往往使外國(guó)商人,在日本做生意困難。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.可知外國(guó)商人感到在日本做生意難是因?yàn)槿毡竞臀鞣絿?guó)家做生意的方式不同,所以選A。
2.詞義匹配題。bewilder foreign businessmen的意思是使外國(guó)商人迷惑,也就是說(shuō)常常使外國(guó)商人產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)誤的想法,所以選 D。
3.根據(jù)第三段首句In the USA, it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say “No”可知該文是引導(dǎo)人們認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)事實(shí):美國(guó)人提出直截了當(dāng)說(shuō)出他們的想法,所以選C。
4.推理判斷題。從本文我們可以推知外國(guó)商人應(yīng)該努力了解日本人做生意的方式,所以選B。

請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。
Zhang Li lies in bed sadly. The 24-year-old young man lost his right leg because of a blood disease (血液病). The doctor said that his 10 years of smoking had caused the disease.
“I first smoked a cigarette when I was in Junior 3. It made me feel like a man and I thought it looked cool. Now I know I was really wrong,” said Zhang.
According to the 2008 China Tobacco Control report (中國(guó)煙草控制報(bào)告), 130 million young people who are under 18 years old have tried smoking. Fifteen million of them are addicted (上癮的).
The report came out on May 31, World No-Smoking Day. It also found that nearly 68% of teenage smokers smoked their first cigarette before the age of 13. Those living in big cities started even earlier.
“Some tobacco companies try to make cigarettes cool and attractive. It’s just to make money,” said Yang Gonghuan, a doctor. In fact, smoking is one of the top killers in China. Each year 1 million people die from smoking-related (與吸煙有關(guān)的) diseases. Smoking causes illnesses like lung cancer and heart disease.
Doctors say that the younger a person starts smoking, the worse it will be. If a person starts smoking as a teenager, he or she may live twenty-two years less than non-smokers.
回答下列問(wèn)題
1.What caused Zhang Li’s disease?
2.When did he first smoke a cigarette?
3.How many people die from smoking-related diseases each year in China?
4.If someone smokes too much, what diseases can he develop?
5.Why do many teenagers smoke at first? (請(qǐng)自擬一句話(huà)作答,最好用文中句子改寫(xiě))
