22、art IV. Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A、B、C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet

23、2.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. The discovery that language can be barrier to communication is quickly made by all who ravel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government or business, the lack of a common language can severely hinder progress

24、or can halt it altogether. Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major consequences, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems, or fatal accidents - even, at ti

25、mes of war. One reported instance of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom. No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully

26、 used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably because the report of the treatment had been published only in iournals written in European languages other than English. The language barrier presents itself to firms who wish to market t

27、heir products in other countries. British industry, in particular, had in recent decades often been criticized for its linguistic insularity - for its assumption that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of other language is not therefore a priority. The critici

28、sm and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seem to have greatly improved the situation. It is now much more readily appreciated that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged, or disrupted by a failure to take account of the linguistic needs of the customer. The changes in awareness have

29、 been most marked in English-speaking countries where the realization has gradually dawned that by no means everyone in the world knows English well enough to negotiate in it.36.

31、ish-speaking companies are happy to communicate in their own language.C. English-speaking companies are happy to communicate in English.D. Non-English-speaking companies are happy to speak English.38. Why had the American doctors not known how to treat the patient in 1970?A. Because it is a fatal disease.B. Because its remedy keep unknown at that time.C. Because the report of the treatment was not published in English.D. Because the American doctors failed to read in English.39.
