Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most ailments, it has its own symptoms and cure. Culture shock is precipitated by the 51 that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we 52 ourselves to the situation of daily life; when to shake hands and what to say, when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to 53 invitations, when to take statements seriously and 54. These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are 55 a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend 56 our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we do not carry. 57 conscious awareness. Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are 58 .He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be, a series of props have been knocked 59 you, followed by feeling of frustrations and anxiety.

Passage One It used to be that a corporation’s capital consisted of tangible assets such as buildings, machines, and finished goods. But in the information economy, value has shifted rapidly from tangible to intangible assets. Such as management skills and customer loyalty. But how do you measure intangible assets? 丁香园网站整理，内部交流，请勿出售! www.dxy.cn/bbs 全国医学博士外语统一考试 第 7页 共 16页 Karl Erik Sveiby began trying to answer that question as a magazine publisher in Sweden and went to become Scandinavia’s leading authority on knowledge based businesses. In his latest book, The New Organizational Wealth, he offers insights into valuing and managing intangible assets. Nothing that Microsoft Corporation, the world’s largest software firm, once traded at an average share price of $79 at a time when its book value was $7, Sveiby asks: “What is it about Microsoft that makes it worth 10 times the value of its recorded assets? What is the nature of that additional value that is perceived by the market but not recorded by the company?” Sveiby’s answer is intangible assets, which he defines as employee competence. Internal structures (systems. patents.etc.). and external structures (customer and supplier relationships and the organization’s image). Because of these factors. It follows that owners hold a kind of intangible equity in the company, in addition to tangible assets such as cash and accounts receivable. Since knowledge is a key intangible asset, the ability to transfer knowledge from one employee to another, or from outside sources to employees, is a key business capacity, in Sveiby’s view. The greater the transfer method for transferring knowledge, the more overall employee competence improves. The best method for transferring knowledge, says Sveiby, is through direct experience with a subject rather simply listening to someone or reading about it. Experience enables learning more than overt teaching because people acquire knowledge tacitly, by observation and listening in an unstructured environment. And, he adds people will more readily learn from an activity if they enjoy it. Once the flow of information within an organization is managed properly, the competence of the organization increases, and the relations with customers improve. But Sveiby also points out that knowledge and information are not the same thing. Information has no value until it becomes integrated knowledge and therefore useful. 61. In the information economy, it is a challenge A. to place a high value on intangible assets B. to transfer tangible into intangible assets C. to changed the concept of assets D. to quantify intangible assets 62.Microsoft Corporation, in Sveiby’s view, A.is skillful at managing intangible assets B. creates most intangible assets in the world C. does not hold any tangible, but much intangible assets D. possesses much additional intangible assets recognized by the market 63. The transfer of knowledge which is a key intangible asset, according to Sveiby, A. has much to do with overall employee competence B. is best done through hands-on experience C. reflects business capacity D. all of above 64. Integrated knowledge, information A. begins to spread within an organization B. will lose much of its value C. will remain useful forever 丁香园网站整理，内部交流，请勿出售! www.dxy.cn/bbs 全国医学博士外语统一考试 第 8页 共 16页 D. is an intangible asset 65. Which of the fol1oing can be the best title for the passage? A. Knowledge as Capital B. Exploding Knowledge C. The Power of Knowledge D. Information and Knowledge Passagc Two High-speed Living has become a fact of life, and the frantic pace is taking its toll, according to science writer James Gleick. It’s as if the old “Type A”behavior of a few has expanded into the “hurry sickness” of the many. We do feel that we’re more time-driven and time-obsessed and generally rushed than ever before”write Gleick in Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything, a survey of fast-moving culture and its consequences. We may also be acting more hastily, losing control, and thinking superficially because we 1ie faster. Technology has conditioned us to expect 1nstant results. Internet purchases arrive by next-day delivery and the microwave delivers a hot meal in minutes. Faxes, e-mails, and cell phones make it possible-and increasingly obligatory-for people to work faster. Gleick cites numerous examples of last-forward changes in our lives: Stock trading and news cycles are shorter; sound bites of presidential candidates on network newscasts dropped from 40 seconds in 1868 to 10 seconds in 1988; and some fast-food restaurants have added express lanes. High expectations for instant service make even the brief wait for an elevator seem interminable (漫长的). A good waiting time is in the neighborhood of 15 seconds. Sometime around 40 seconds. people start to get visibly upset”writes Gleick. W’re dependent on systems that promise speed but often deliver frustration. Like rush-hour drivers fuming when a single accident halts the evening commute, people surfing the Internet squirm if a Web page is slow to load or when access itself is not instantaneous. And the concert of “customer service”can become an oxymoron (逆喻) for customers waiting on hold for a telephone representative. Up-tempo living has turned people into multitaskers-eating while driving. writing an e-mail whi1e talking on the phone. or skimming dozens of television programs on split screen. Gleick suggests that human beings may be capable of adjusting to these new levels of stimuli as. high-speed culture challenges our brains “in a way they were not chal1enged in the past. except perhaps in times of war”. We may gain the flexibility to do several things at once but lose some of our capacity to focus in depth on a single task. 66. With living pace getting quicker and quicker. the number of those of “Type-A”behavior is A.on the rise B. out of control C. on the decline D. under investigation 67. High-speed living brings about the following consequences, exclusive of A. superficial thinking B. lose of control C. waste of time D. more haste 68. The best conclusion can be drawn from the 3rd paragraph is that A. technology is building a fast-moving culture B. we are living in the age of information C. economy is booming with technology 丁香园网站整理，内部交流，请勿出售! www.dxy.cn/bbs 全国医学博士外语统一考试 第 9页 共 16页 D. the frantic pace is taking its toll 69. As the author implies, the faster we live, A. the less we do B. the less patient we are C. the more time we save D. the more efficiency have 70. Living faster and faster, the multitaskers tend A. to scratch the surface of a thing B. to do things better at the same time C. to be flexible with their time schedules D. to have intense concentration on trivial things Passage Three Imagine a disease spreading across the globe, killing mostly middle-aged people or leaving them chronically disabled. Then one day researchers come up with a drug that can prevent some of the disease’s nastier effects.
