The American and Indian cultures have very vast differences between them. While the culture of America is a mixture of different cultures, the Indian culture is unique and has its own values.One of the major differences that can be seen between American and Indian cultures is in family relations. While the Indians are very much family oriented, the Americans are individual oriented. In Indian culture, the family values are attached to more importance than the individual values. Indians respect family values. On the other hand, in American culture the individual values get more importance than the family values. In another sense, it can be said that the American culture is more goal oriented and the Indian culture is more people or family oriented. Indians may even forsake their individual wishes and also happiness for the sake of families. But in American culture, this trend cannot be seen.Unlike the Indians, the Americans plan things ahead. The Americans believe in dominating nature and controlling the environment around them. On the contrary, Indians believe in the harmony with nature. Another difference that can be seen between Indian culture and American culture is that the Indians love stability whereas the Americans love mobility.In American culture, one can see that individuals think of self-reliance. On the other hand, Indians are more dependent on others. While the children in the US are brought up to live an independent life, the children in India are not brought up in that way. In Indian culture, there is respect for the elders and it is they who make decisions. But in American culture, each individual makes his own decisions.ing to petition, Indians are more petitive than the Americans. ing to work nature, the Indians work for meeting the family needs. On the contrary, an American will only strive to rise on his own capacity. Another difference that can be seen is that Americans have great regard for time and its value while Indians are different.21.From Paragraph 2, we know that pared to Americans, Indians _.A. pay more attention to themselvesB. are more mitted to their familiesC. attach less importance to their cultureD. dont value so many things in their life22.What does the underlined word “forsake” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. give up B. show off C.expose to D. take up23.What is implied about children in India?A. They often struggle to bee independent.B. They usually dont show much respect for the elderly.C. They are usually not encouraged to make decisions.D. They are taught to depend on themselves from an early age.24.This passage is mainly developed by _.A. analyzing causes B. showing features C. making parisons D. describing a processBJust five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,” the Lays potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker Frito-Lay thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the panys head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip. Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo, and accounts for over half of the parent panys $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated（饱和的）, and to grow, the pany has to look overseas. Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot pete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumers especially young people see as part of a modern, innovative (创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American pany. Instead, Riskey, the panys research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global munications and business. With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo. The logo, along with the panys long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, would help with the panys global expansion. The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism（帝国主义）. They see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “Were making products in those countries, were adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCos chief executive.25. It is the belief of Frito-Lays head of global marketing that_.A. Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world marketB. Their pany must find new ways to promote domestic sales.C. The light golden color enhances the charm of their panys potato chipsD. People over the world enjoy eating their panys potato chips26. What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?A. Its products used to be popular among overseas consumers.B. Its expansion has caused fierce petition in the snack market.C. It gives half of its annual profits to its parent pany.D. It needs to turn to the world market for development.27. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that_.A. consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brandsB. local brands cannot pete successfully with American brandsC. products suiting Chinese consumers needs bring more profitsD. products identified as American will have promising market value28. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?A. To suit changing tastes of young consumers.B. To promote the panys strategy of globalization.C. To change the panys long-held marketing image.D. To pete with other American chip producers.CRokits Dining hall Menu Term 4BRUNCHHealthy eating sausage roll with sauce $2.50Bacon, lettuce and tomato toasted Turkish bread $5.00Ham, cheese, tomato and pineapple toasted muffin $4.50Bacon, egg and cheese hamburger $4.50SUPER SNACKSTub of yoghurt $1.50Fruit salad and yoghurt $3.00Canteen approved chips $0.80Muffin of the day backed fresh each morning $2.00FRESH SANDWICHES AND SALADSFresh sandwiches made to order:1x spread（酱）$1.501x Filling $3.002x Filling $3.503x Filling $4.004 or more fillings $4.50Spreads: Honey, jam, vegemite.Fillings: Ham, chicken, cheese, tomato, carrot, lettuce, spinach, egg, pineapple, baked beans and spaghettiToast chicken, cucumber and tomato salad $4.00DELICIOUS DRINKSDelicious iced chocolate $2.50Reduced fat milk 300ml $1.50Reduced fat flavored Oak mill 300ml $2.00Bottle water 600ml $2.00Rokit-It (lightly carbonated fruit drink) $2.50Poppers (apple, pineapple punch, ABC, Orange + mango, orange) $2.00Tips:l Please place order on the day required.l Lunch orders are to be written only on paper lunch bags or envelope.l Add 20 cents extra if you havent a paper bag.l Include students name, class and order on front of bag and place money inside bag, change is given.l Place orders in the basket in classroom by 9:30 in the morning.l Siblings orders to be placed in eldest childs order bag.29.

There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot. Suppose further that we planted a flag each business. The height of the flag pole represents the yearly volume of sales , each $ 10, 000 in sales in shown by one foot of pole. The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio - about four - fifths of the way across the nation - flags fly about 10 feet in the air. But as we approach the eastern terminus (终点) , the poles suddenly begin to mount (升高) . There are about 300, 000 firms in the country with sales over $ 500, 000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000 - mile road. There are 200, 000 firms with sales over $ 1 million. They take up the last 50 miles. Then there are 1, 000 firms with sales of $ 50, 000, 000 or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height, 5, 000 feet up. At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile, we find the 100 largest industrial firms. They have sales of at least $ 1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of road, there are 10 largest panies. Their sales are roughly $ 10 billion and up : their flags fly 190 miles in the air , almost in the stratosphere (平流层) .33. What is the authors main purpose in this passage? A. To tell the reason why the largest firms are in New York. B. To show the geographical distribution (分布) of the United States businesses. C. To provide a general idea of the size of businesses in the United States. D. To tell us how the United States businesses are arranged. 34. Whats the correct order of the following places from east to west?A. San Francisco, Reno, New York, Columbus. B. San Francisco, Reno, Columbus, New York. C. New York, Columbus, Reno, San Francisco D. New York, Reno, Columbus, San Francisco 35. Which of the following diagrams shows the right order of size of the US businesses , according to the text ? 第二节：信息匹配 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Nowadays, many people love to travel.
