2003年1月四级Passage Three

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

① New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk.

It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away

by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to

benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly

enhanced by foreign language skills(属于本文好几次提到的概念，必定有考题涉及到。).

21. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?

A) Critical. B) Indifferent.

C) Prejudiced. D) Positive.

② Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern

businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value

of doing business abroad.（此句话为倒装） In modern markets, success overseas often

helps support domestic business efforts.

③ Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement

within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no

longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.”（注意两句话之间关系） He or she （就是指The executive stationed in another country ）can

be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success,

and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee

can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater

confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural

considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的).

23. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means______ .

注意同义替换advancement / promotion 属于本段强调概念，和考题相关。

④ Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business

applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
