Part III Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
When doing business in Japan, it is essential that you should have sufficiently deep specialist knowledge of
the product you are trying to sell, and be able to answer all the questions that a Japanese person may put to you.
One
often
finds
that
people
such
as
dealers
and
traders
who
have
not
themselves
produced
the
goods
lack
sufficient knowledge of their merchandise. As in such a case you will have been requested by a maker to market
their products, you should make sure beforehand that you have acquired sufficient knowledge of the product. It is
not
acceptable
in
Japan
to
say
that
you
will
get
back
to
someone
after
checking
with
the
manufacturer
about
something.
Products suitable for a miscellany of uses but nothing in particular will not sell well in the Japanese market
just because they are made from materials that are particularly unique to your country. You should instead adopt a
more conservative approach and suggest only a limited number of suitable uses. That way, the product will have
scarcity value.
You
should
not
think
that
all
the
materials
used
in
your
own
country
can
be
used
and
will
sell
in
Japan.
Coconut fiber and coconut dust, for example, are too unusual to sell well. Demand for such products really only
exists among mattress manufacturers. Flowerpot holders and other things made from such materials are sold in
Japan as finished products.
Never forget that Japan has four seasons, and that products should be made to suit these seasons. A certain
Japanese company imported a ballpoint pen from a country in Asia where it is summer all year round. In Japan,
however, the ink leaks in the summer and will not run in the winter, making it impossible to write. The company
as a result received nothing but complaints. It is just one example of a product that works perfectly well in its
country of origin, but is defective when exposed to the four seasons of Japan.
Japan still has a few import tariff quotas that
you should be aware of. In the case of products affected by
import quotas, such as seaweed, leather shoes, ground fish meat etc., companies are not allowed to import unless
they have previously applied for an import quota by the government. In the case of tariff quotas, imports up to a
certain
amount
are
subject
to
a
low
tariff,
which
is
then
approximately
doubled
when
this
total
is
exceeded.
Products affected by tariff quotas include natural cheese and canned pineapple. Always keep in touch with your
importer in Japan so that you do not suddenly find that your products can no longer be imported or are subject to
hugely increased tariffs.
1. To sell products in Japan, a trader should know his merchandise well because
.
A. He is supposed to answer all the questions about the product if asked
B. it is impossible for him to go back to ask the manufacturer
C. he will be requested to market the product
D. generally a trader must be knowledgeable
2. According to the passage, a product will have value in Japan if it
.
A. can not serve many purposes
a particular use
C. is in short supply
not very expensive
4
3. It is implied in the passage that
.
A. New and extraordinary products sell well on the Japanese market
B. Japanese consumers tend to be conservative
C. In the summer it is exceptionally hot in Japan
D. Food is especially subject to a high tariff
4. The example of the ballpoint shows that
.
A. Certain products from some countries in Asia may not sell well in Japan
B. Four seasons of Japan make it difficult to write with a ballpoint
C. products should be adapted to different situations
D. companies selling ballpoints in Japan received only complaints
5. Keeping in touch with an importer in Japan can
.
A. find your products no longer be imported or are subject to hugely increased tariffs
B. Help you apply for an import quota to the government
C. create opportunities to cut tariffs on your products
D. Keep you well informed about Japan’s import ta
riff quotas
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
A
religious
campaign
to
block
the
teaching
of
evolutionary
biology
is
taking
a
strong
grip
on
the
United
States. A survey published in
Scientific American
shows that the doctrine of creationism
–
which holds that the
origins
of
humanity
and
the
Earth
are
recent
and
were
created
by
God
–
is
spreading
in
the
world
’
s
greatest
technological nation at surprising rate. Ridiculous is the fact that more and more states are restricting the teaching
of evolution in schools.
The journal says that a 45% Americans now believe that God created life some time in the past 10,000 years,
despite
research
that
has
established
the
universe
as
being
13
billion
years
old
and
that
men
and
women
are
descended
from
apelike
ancestors.
Even
among
US
Catholics,
40%
still
insist
God
created
human
life
a
few
thousand years ago
–
even though the Pope said in 1996 that he was not against the theory of evolution.
“
At the time, newspapers in Mississippi wrote that this proved the Pope was too old and should be ignored,
”
said Amanda Chesworth, head of the anti-creationist Darwin Day group.
“
Creationism is spreading further and
further. It now has missionaries across the world and even has bases in Russia and Turkey.
”
In
1990,
Kansas
board
of
education
voted
to
block
mention
of
Darwin
in
its
schools,
but
members
were
voted out and their anti-evolution policy was reversed.
But
creationists
have
quietly
achieved
victories
in
schools
in
northern
states
such
as
Illinois,
Ohio
and
Wisconsin. Ohio is considering banning evolution teaching, and even New York and Massachusetts are turning
against evolution.
Scientific
American
believes
that
the
content
of
textbooks
and
lesson
plans
in
schools
is
already
being
affected by creationism. Ms. Chesworth agrees. She said that the United States went from the earth to the Moon a
few years ago, and discovered these worlds date back billions of years. Now this nation is sticking its head in the
sand, saying that the whole lot was made in a flash a few thousands of years ago. Those creationists even argue
that dinosaurs and humans co-existed. Ms. Chesworth regards this development as unhealthy.
6. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.
A. the increasing influence of creationism in U.S. schools.
B. evolutionists
’
defeating creationists
C. confrontation between evolutionists and creationists.
D. peaceful co-existence of evolutionists and creationists.
5
7. What is the Pope
’
s attitude towards the theory of evolution?
A. He is too old to judge it.
C. He tolerates it.
B. He is firmly against it.
D. He leaves that mater to his successor.
B. Scopes achieve an out-of-court settlement.
D. The final ruling was in Scopes
’
favor.
8. What was the final result of the Scopes trial?
A. Tennessee
’
s supreme court corrected its own mistake.
C. Scopes was fined $$ 100.
9. Scientific American has observed that ______.
A. creationists have quietly retreated from schools in northern states.
B. creationism has had its impact on school education
C. Ms. Chesworth
’
s judgment is incorrect.
D. the world
’
s greatest technological nation rejects creationism.
10. From the passage we can feel that the writer ______.
A. reports that situation of creationism and evolutionism objectively
B. is sad about the rapid popularity of the doctrine of evolutionism
C. is worried about the rapid spread of the doctrine of creationism
D. supports creationists although not very strongly
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Personnel is the most important factor in the hotel and catering business. The quality of the product is largely
defined by the quality of the personnel. It is one of the most important management tasks to employ people in
such a way that the goals of the company are reached optimally. On the one hand this means that a lot of attention
has to be paid to the acquisition of good personnel (personnel management) and on the other hand that the way the
employees are stimulated to work (the style of management) has to be a conscious choice. To be a good manager
one
has
to
know
how
to
motivate
employees,
in
other
words,
which
needs
and
aims
do
the
employees
have.
People work to meet their physical and psychological needs and avoid matters that frustrate their needs. For one
employee
this
means
earning
a
lot
of
money,
for
another
many
contacts
with
people
of
varied
work.
Every
employee will show the conduct with which he can reach his aim and satisfy his needs. When somebody starts to
work in a company the first thing he is interested in is the company and his position in it as far as it helps him to
reach own aims. To involve people in the company, the company plan and the company aims, the manager has to
show them the link between reaching their own aim and aspiring to the company
’
s aim.
11. What do you think is the key element in the hotel business?
A. The hotel location
.
C. The hotel products.
B. The hotel market.
D. The hotel personnel.
12. The most important task of the hotel management is _____.
A. to manage well the employees to realize the company
’
s goal
B. to manage well the capital
C. to manage well the establishment
D. to manage well the guests.
13. Motivation means _____.
