Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Bur about 97% of this huge amount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground and other sources.

And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is flowing to the sea; some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly－almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. It is well known that all living beings will die without water. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry, on our environment and even our lives. Let me give you just on small example of

how necessary water is to industry.

Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91.000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. The systems that have been working out resemble those used in spacecraft.

1. The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This means that ___B_____.

A. the world has not enough fresh water to meet our future needs

B. We are now facing a serious problem of worldwide water shortage

C. people all over the world are thirsty for water now

D. we cannot make use of all the fresh water now

2. According to the passage, only about __A__ of the earth’s surface is not covered with water.

A. 25%

B. 97%

C. 3%

D. 75%

3. We may face a severe worldwide water shortage in the future because___D__.

A. the small amount of fresh water is constantly being replaced by rainfall

B. some of it has been polluted

C. some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers

D. our need for fresh water is increasing rapidly

4. According to the passage, one of the first steps we should take to stop wasting our fresh water is___C__.

A. to deal with this problem now

B. to have lectures on the subject

C. to develop ways of reusing it

D. to work out systems that resemble those used in spacecraft

5. This passage is mainly about___C__.

A. water and the earth

B. fresh water on earth

C. the water shortage problem

D. experiments on how to reuse fresh water

Passage 2

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

According to the recent poll, more than 50 percent of American high school students have

admitted to cheating on exams at least once. It can be argued that such a result may not mean much. After all, most students have been faced with the temptation to look at other students’ test papers. And students can be hard on themselves in judging such behavior.

However, there are other indications that high school cheating may be on the rise.

Cheating is now considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities. Some professors say they have given up the traditional term paper requirement because a lot of students buy prewritten term papers, and they can’t find out all the cheaters anymore.

Many colleges and universities have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student

cheating. The University of Maryland decided to launch a campaign to stop one form of cheating.

When students finished their exams and moved out in line, they found all but one exit blocked. Proctors ask each student to show an ID card with a photo. Students who said they had left their photos in the dorm or at home had a mug shot taken. The purpose of the campaign was to catch “ringers”, ---students who take tests for other students.

The majority of students at the University of Maryland applauded the campaign. The campus newspaper editorial said, “Like police arresting speeders, the purpose is not to catch everyone but rather to catch enough to spread the word.” Cheating in school may go up and down. But it doesn’t seem linked to the economy. Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage

cheating, a person may feel “they don’t trust me anyway,” and want to “beat the system.” Distrust can be contagious. But, so can trust!

6. According to the recent poll, __B/D___ have admitted to cheating on exams at least once.

A. more than three quarters of American high school students

B. more than two quarters of American high school students

C. less than one quarter of American high school students

D. more than one second American high school students

7. Why do some professors have given up the traditional term paper requirement? C

A. Because the term papers are uninteresting.

B. Because the term papers are too long to be corrected.

C. Because many students buy prewritten term papers, and they can’t find out all the cheaters anymore.

D. Because no students hand in their term papers.

8. The purpose in making students show their ID card with a photo when they finish the exams is____B___

A. to make students more aware of the great amount of cheating going on.

B. to catch students who take test for other students.

C. to catch those students who sell the information to other students.

D. to compare test results of students who sat near each other.

9. According to the campus newspaper editorial, the purpose of the campaign was____C____

A. to help police catch enough speeders.

B. to catch as many cheaters as is necessary to make known the warning.

C. to track down as many “ringers” as possible to discourage cheating.

D. to stop all forms of cheating once and for all.

10. Why may some efforts to prevent cheating actually encourage cheating? D

A. Because the students do not fear their proctors.

B. Because the students do not want to study any more.

C. Because all the students are very clever.

D. Because all the students may feel that they are not trusted anyway and want to beat the testing

system.

Passage 3

Questions 31to 35 are based on the following passage.

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effect after a few days--- they think less clearly and they fall asleep during the working hours. Some may have hallucinations(幻觉).

There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about seven and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 percent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four percent or so find that they want ten hours more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep, office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.

Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps fourteen to eighteen hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger. They find sleep getting more broken and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.

a. how many hours you have slept

b. how many hours you need to sleep

Passage 6

Questions 26 to30 are based on the following passage.

I am Jackson, an adult student of a university. I seriously suffered from test anxiety because I used to feel so anxious during an examination that I couldn’t even put down the answers I knew.

Test anxiety was real a problem for me. When I worried about my performance on an exam, my heart beat faster and my pulse speeded up. Then I sweated more than normal, suffering from a stomachache and headache. My field of vision narrowed and I often said to my classmates that my mind went blank. It was said that psychological doctor Li helped many students learn how to perform better during exams and bring up their grades. So I went to see him. With his help, I began holding workshops on overcoming test anxiety.

I felt better because I was in a workshop with other sufferers. I realized that I was not the only one who had done poorly on tests because of tension. In the workshop, I was taught that anxiety was normal and I learnt the measures to avoid serious anxiety:

First, learn to relax. This would help relieve tension. You should know that being completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. Understand that in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help you to do better. However, if you call it anxiety then it will make you nervous and worried.

Second, you shouldn’t leave too much studying until a day or two before the examination. Instead, concentrate on what you can do and try to think what questions are likely to be asked.

Third, take breaks and go to sleep early enough to get a good night’s rest before the exam; eat a moderate dinner, avoiding drinks like coffee.

Fourth, get to the exam room a few minutes early and stay away from fellow students who get tense. When you get test papers, read the directions carefully and make sure that you understand them. Answer the questions from the easiest one to the more difficult ones. Keep working steadily; don’t speed up.

Passage 7

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Time is tangible: one can gain time, spend time, waste time, save time or even kill time. Common questions in American English reveal this concrete quality as though time were a possession. “Do you have any time?” “Can you get some time for this?” “How much free time do you have?” The treatment of time as a possession influences the way that time is carefully divided.

Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. In businesses the careful scheduling of time and the separation of activities are common practices. Appointment calendars are printed with 15-, 30-, and 60- minute time slots. A 2:30 --- 3:30 interview may end in time for a brief bread before a 3:15--- 4:00 meeting. The idea that “there is a time and place for everything” extends to American social life. Visitors who “drop by” without prior notices may interrupt their host’s personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors’ “dropping by”. To accommodate other people’s schedules, Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.

31. Americans regard time as ______D_______.

a. unimportant

Here is a story about two drivers who wanted to park their cars in the same parking space.

The man who arrived at the parking space first was rather old with gray hair. He was a millionaire

and looked stubborn. He was driving a large Rolls Royce. The beautiful and expensive car stopped just in

front of the parking space. Then the driver turned his head and very slowly began to reverse his car into the

space. Just as he was doing this, a young strong man in a Mini came up from behind. He noticed the space

and drove straight in, nose first. The older driver in the Rolls Royce stopped his car suddenly. He was very

angry and red in the face. He wound down his window and looked at the young man. But the young man

wasn’t sorry. He had got out of his car now and he was laughing, “You have to be young to do that!” he said

to the older driver and pointed at the Mini and the space he had just taken. The older man said nothing. He

just began to reverse his Rolls Royce again and crashed into the Mini very hard. There wasn’t much of the

Mini left when the older driver had finished. The young man watched what was happening and couldn’t

Passage 10

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

One of the teacher’s rewards is that he is using his mind on valuable subjects. All over the world people are spending their lives either on doing various jobs. Yet no one would do either of these things for his own interest.

Only the money makes them to do so. But if you really understand an important and interesting subject, like the structure of the human body or the story of the two World Wars, it is genuine happiness to explain them to others, to read every new book on them, and to learn as you teach.

Another reward of teacher is the happiness of educating students. When the pupils come to you, their minds are only half-formed, full of black spaces and vague notions and oversimplification. You do not merely insert a lot of facts, if you teach them properly. You take the living mind, and mould it. It resists sometimes. It may lie passive and apparently refuse to accept anything you print on it. Sometimes it takes the mould too easily, and then seems to melt again and become featureless. But often it comes into firmer shape as you work, and gives you the incomparable happiness of helping to create a human being. To teach a boy the difference between truth and lie in print, to start him thinking about the meaning of poetry or patriotism, to hear him hammering back at you with the facts you have helped him to find, gives the sort of satisfaction that an artist has when he makes a picture out of black canvas and chemical colorings, or a doctor when he hears a sick pulse pick up and carry the energies of new life under his hands.

46. What makes people do various jobs is ___B_____.

A. the job itself

B. the money

C. the significance

D. the fact that it can keep the mind clever

47.According to the author, it is a genuine happiness ___D________.

A. to earn a lot of money

B. to do highly rewarded jobs where the mind must be kept numb

C. to spend one’s life on operating new machine

D. to use one’s mind on valuable subjects

48.Teaching a pupil properly ______A___________.

A. means taking and moulding the living mind

B. is just to insert a lot of facts in the mind

C. is just like injecting 500 CC. of blood

D. should be the same as giving a year’s vitamins

49.Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage? B

A. The teacher is an “engineer” who moulds the mind as he works.

B. Pupils are always ready to accept what you teach them.

C. A teacher helps to create a human being.

C. because both the artist and the doctor were once students

Passage 11

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

In general, employers are looking for two things in job applicants: the proof that whether a candidate can handle a specific job and the evidence that the person will fit in with the organization. Too often, employers are most concerned with the candidate’s experience, but communication skills, enthusiasm and motivation are closely behind.

Every position requires specific qualifications. When you are invited to interview for a position, the interviewer, may already have a fairly good idea of whether you have the right qualifications. But during the interview, you’ll be asked to describe your education and previous jobs in more details so the interviewer can determine how well your skills match the requirements.

Another consideration is whether a candidate has the right personality features for the job. Each job requires a different mix of personality features. The task of the interviewer is to find out whether a candidate will be able to do the job comfortably. In addition to determining whether the applicant has the right professional qualifications and personality for a particular job, the interviewer must decide whether the person will be able to communicate with the other people in the organization.

Every interviewer approaches this issue of “fit” a little differently. Physical appearance is

often a consideration, because clothing reveals something about a candidate’s personality and awareness of industry standards. Apart from noticing a candidate’s clothes, interviewers also size up such physical factors as eye contact, handshake, facial expressions, and tone of voice.

An interviewer might also consider age in deciding whether an applicant will fit in with the organization (although job discrimination against the middle-aged is prohibited by law). A candidate’s personal background—interests, hobbies, awareness of world events, and the like—is

also regarded as an indicator of how well the person will fit in with the organization. You can expand your potential along these lines by reading widely, making an effort to meet new people and participating in discussion groups, seminars and workshops.

51. Employers usually attach most importance to applicants’ __B______.

A. age

B. experience

C. appearance

D. motivation

52. Which is NOT true according to the passage? D

A. During the interview, often candidates are expected to describe their schooling background and

previous jobs.

B. Employers are concerned with the communication skills, enthusiasm and motivation as well as

experience.

C. Each job requires a different mix of personality features.

D. Age is not considered by employers in deciding whether an applicant will fit in with the organization.

53. Why personal appearance is important in an interview? B

A. Because every company needs neatly-dressed employees to expand their business.

B. Because clothing tells something about a candidate’s personality and awareness of industry standards.

C. Because companies refuse to pay for new clothes.

D. Because employers are always fashion-conscious.

54. According to the passage, interviewers might take into account the following factors in an interview. D

A. Experience

B. Qualifications

C. Personality

D. All of the above

55. We learn from this passage the following except ____C___.

When evening fell, the weather got even worse. The fog was as thick as pea soup. All traffic came to a standstill. I had an important meeting on the other side of town, but it was impossible to find a taxi. I decided to walk, and started out confidently.

Minutes later, I was totally lost. I couldn’t even find a street sign to get my bearings. Then I

heard a voice come out of the fog. “I suppose you are lost. Can I help you?” I could barely see the

young woman who had spoken to me, but was grateful to find another person in the fog. I explained where I wanted to go, and she said she knew exactly how to get there. I was doubtful, but followed her through the dark streets.

The city seemed as quiet as a graveyard, and I remember thinking my guide could be leading me to an alley where she and some friends would rob me. But my fears were unfounded. The woman led me straight to my destination.

Passage 15

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Communication through body language has been going on for thousands of years, but has been studied scientifically during the last 30 years. Scientists have found out that more human communication takes place by the use of gestures, postures, positions and distances than most of us realize. For instance, body language can help you tell when someone is lying. The following are common gestures that put you on your guard although they shouldn’t be regarded as reliable evidence that someone is lying.

1.The Eye Rub

This gesture means that a person is trying to hide the lie or doubt that a person sees, or to avoid looking at the face of someone to whom he is telling a lie. Men usually rub their eyes and if the lie is a big one they will often look away towards the floor. Women, on the other hand, often use a small, gentle rubbing motion just below the eye.

2.The Neck Scratch

This gesture indicates an interesting point, rarely is the number of scratches more or less than five. This gesture is probably a sign of doubt or uncertainty.

3.The Mouth Guard

Sometimes this gesture may be only a few fingers over the mouth. Some people try to disguise this gesture by pretending to cough. If a person uses this gesture while speaking to you, it may indicate he is telling a lie. However, if he covers his mouth while you’re speaking, it may indicate that he feels you’re lying

4.The Nose Touch

This gesture may consist of several light rubs below the nose, or it may be one quick, almost hardly noticeable touch. Like the mouth guard, it can be used both by the speaker to disguise his own deceit and by the listener who doubts the speaker’s word.

71. We know that people are probably lying if ___B___.

A. they cover their ears

B. they cover their mouth

C they doesn’t want to listen D. they stop talking

Passage 16

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Maybe you know that the letter “V” stands for victory in western countries. But do you know the history of the sign?

During World War II, Europe was occupied by the Germans. A lot of people escaped to Britain. Among them was one Belgian named Victor Dalveli. He was very patriotic (爱国的). And every day, he used short-wave radio to broadcast to the Belgian people, calling on them to resist the German occupiers. On the last day of 1940, he asked his countrymen to write the letter “V” everywhere, even in the German barracks(兵营) and the living areas of Nazi officers.

Later, the letter “V” spread to the other occupied countries in Europe. Because it was simple and meaningful, it soon became very popular. When friends meet, they stretched out their middle and index fingers to greet each other.

At that time, in certain restaurants, knifes and forks were placed in such a way to form a “V”. And in some clock shops, clocks were purposely stopped at 11:05 to show the sign of “V”.

Passage 19

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage

Are you looking for a good relationship with someone special? What type of person is the best for you? Is it the person with the highest IQ? Is it the most beautiful or the most handsome people? Is it the most energetic person or the most ambitious? Is your ideal partner the most traditional or the most modern person? Is he or she the person most like you, or most unlike you?

The answer, psychologists say, is none of the above. Why? Because they are all extremes. In a number of research studies, psychologists asked couples these questions. The answers were clear. Most people are happy with moderation---- with partner who are not so special!The research showed several other important things. In a love relationship, two things can cause your trouble. Firstly, trouble happens when both people get angry quickly. That is not surprising. Secondly, trouble happens when people don’t expect to change themselves in a relationship.

论有效沟通的重要性商务沟通结业论文 学院：商学院 专业：电子商务 学号：201423437 姓名：李一凡

所谓沟通，是人与人之间的思想和信息的交换，是将信息由一个人传达给另一个人，逐渐广泛传播的过程。 在处理微妙的人际关系或传递复杂信息时，面对面沟通仍然是最合适的方式。比如，对于涉及到支出和收入之类比较敏感的薪资或合同谈判情况，双方在同一个房间协商将更容易取得进展。面对面沟通或者模拟的面对面互动有助于人们讨论复杂问题，在日益逼近最后期限的情况下迅速做出决策。 通作为一个重要的人际交往技巧，在日常生活中的运用非常广泛，其影响也很大。可以说，人际矛盾产生的原因，大多数都可归于沟通不畅。 石油大王洛克菲勒说：“假如人际沟通能力也是同糖或咖啡一样的商品的话，我愿意付出比太阳底下任何东西都珍贵的价格购买这种能力。”由此可见沟通的重要性。而对于联系日益紧密的现代人来说，有效的沟通对于一个人的学习、生活、工作有越来越重要的影响，如何处理好这些人与人、人与团队、团队与团队沟通上的问题，正确了解沟通过程以及影响沟通的因素，正确掌握处理沟通障碍的方法，成为现代人急需了解和解决的难题。实践证明，良好的沟通对于任何群体和组织的工作都十分重要，尤其对于即将走上工作岗位的我们来说，了解有效沟通这门学科，掌握正确的沟通方法和技巧，是非常必要的。沟通在工作中就如人的血脉，如果沟通不畅，就如血管栓塞，会导致器官缺血坏死。所以沟通是相当重要的。生活中没有沟通过，就没有快乐人生。事业中没有沟通，就没有成功。工作中没有沟通，就没有了乐趣和机会。由此可见沟通的重要性。 一、有效沟通的重要性 1、提高工作效率，化解矛盾 工作中的任何一个决策都需要一个有效的沟通过程才能施行，沟通的过程就是对决策的理解传达的过程。决策表达得准确、清晰、简洁是进行有效沟通的前提，而对决策的正确理解是实施有效沟通的目的。每当决策下达时，决策者要和执行者进行必要的沟通，以对决策达成共识，使执行者准确无误的按照决策执行，避免因为对决策的曲解而造成的执行失误。想要完成某项工作的群体成员之间进行交流包括：相互在物质上的帮助、支持和在感情上的交流、沟通，信息的沟通是联系群体共同目的和群体中有协作的个人之间的桥梁，良好的沟通能化解不必要的矛盾，取得事半功倍的效果。 2、从表象问题过渡到实质问题的手段 想要解决任何问题，只有从问题的实际出发，实事求是才能解决问题。而在沟通中获得的信息是最及时、最前沿、最实际、最能够反映当前工作情况的。当我们在学习、工作中遇见各种各样的问题时，如果单纯的从事物的表面现象来解决问题，不深入了解情况，接触问题本质，会给我们带来不必要的困惑和麻烦。 个人与个人之间、个人与群体之间、群体与群体之间开展积极、公开的沟通，从多角度看待一个问题，那么在解决遇到的问题时就能统筹兼顾，未雨绸缪。甚至在许多问题还未发生时，就从表象上看到、听到、感觉到，经过研究分析，把一些不利因素扼杀掉，使我们的工作更加平稳顺利的展开和进行。 二、影响有效沟通的因素 1.能力限度 沟通是一个说与听相互作用的过程，双方既需要合适的表达能力，也需要恰当的倾听能力。一个人的语言表达能力（包括口头与书面）直接决定了沟通的有效性。另一方面，倾听是沟通中的核心过程。倾听能促发更深层次的沟通。而且，也只有善于倾听，方可深入探测到对方的心理,以及他的语言逻辑思维。所以，

商务英语谈判课后作业 ——案例分析

商务英语谈判案例分析 Example: Dan smith was a bissiness who works on gymnasium equipment，and it was the first meeting between Robert Liu and him.In just a few minutes of the conversation, Robert Liu felt that this big fellow with a straightforward appearance kept a mind of a cunning rabbit .Known that the guy was skilled in this way ,he took great care in the negotiation. In the first round ,their covercition was as follows: D: I'd like to get the ball rolling by talking about prices. R: Shoot.,I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. D: Y our products are very good. But I'm a little worried about the prices you're asking. R: Y ou think we about be asking for more?(laughs) D: (chuckles) That's not exactly what I had in mind. I know your research costs are high, but what I'd like is a 25% discount. R: That seems to be a little high, Mr. Smith. I don't know how we can make a profit with those numbers. D: Please, Robert, call me Dan. (pause) Well, if we promise future business――volume sales――that will slash your costs for making the Exec-U-ciser, right? R: Y es, but it's hard to see how you can place such large orders. How could you turn over so many? (pause) We'd need a guarantee of future business, not just a promise. D: We said we wanted 1000 pieces over a six-month period. What if we place orders for twelve months, with a guarantee? R: If you can guarantee that on paper, I think we can discuss this further.But even with volume sales, our coats for the Exec-U-Ciser won't go down much. D: Just what are you proposing? R: We could take a cut on the price. But 25% would slash our profit margin .We suggest a compromise――10%. D: That's a big change from 25! 10 is beyond my negotiating limit. (pause) Any other ideas? R: I don't think I can change it right now. Why don't we talk again tomorrow? D: Sure. I must talk to my office anyway. I hope we can find some common ground on this. NEXT DAY D: Robert, I've been instructed to reject the numbers you proposed; but we can try to come up with some thing else.

商务沟通论文

跨文化的商务沟通 一、研究的必要性、重要性 代尔·卡耐基曾经说过：“一个人的成功,只有15%来自他的专业技术,而85%是靠人际沟通和自身的处事能力”。 国际商务活动既是一种经济活动同时也是一种文化活动，中国商务人员要求在国外寻求市场、供应商、合作伙伴，建立附属公司和合资企业，需要具有不同文化背景。使用不同语言的商人进行商务往来，很有必要精心研究文化差异对国际商务活动带来的影响，并采取相应的对策，使我国企业在参与国际竞争中，不仅适用国际商务竞争者之间的经济环境，更能适用彼此之间的文化环境。并且取得竞争优势和获得国际经营主动权。在跨文化交际中，交际双方都有一种强烈的愿望：希望交际或沟通成功。但愿望和现实是有距离的。在跨文化交际中，由于文化不同，很容易造成交际受挫或失败，双方产生误解，甚至造成关系恶化。 随着全球经济一体化的纵深发展,跨文化商务沟通已成为国际贸易活动中的重要研究内容。由于跨文化商务沟通是在不同文化背景下的人群之间展开的,因此文化之间的差异会构成跨文化商务沟通的阻碍。 二、商务沟通中的文化差异及其影响 下面，我将从款待和致谢方式看中英文化差异对商务沟通的影响。 情景1在饭店中，顾客对服务员的夸赞 中国顾客：谢谢你的热情服务 英国服务员：不要提了 中国服务员：这是我应该做的 情景2为一个女服务员帮一个年长的男士往宾馆里抬行李 男顾客：非常感谢 英国服务员：这没什么 中国服务员：这是我的责任 中英两国在款待和致谢方式上存在很大的不同，由此可以看出文化差异在商务沟通中的体现。 1、言语差异语言是文化的重要部分，同时语言交流也是进行沟通的主要手段，语言由言语和非言语两部分组成，世界上的言语语言种类繁多，因此也对商务沟通产生了巨大的影响，甚至是决定性的作用。言语的差异主要体现在词汇、句法、语域的差异上。 2、非言语差异在跨文化背景下，商务沟通也受非言语交际差异的影响和制约。非言语交际包括很多方面，例如手势，眼神，面部表情，肢体语言等等。相同的非言语交际方式在不同的文化背景下会有不同的含义。这里分析一下商务沟通中的非言语差异。我们最常见的OK这个手势，在美国是“好”的意思，而在日本是代表“钱”的意思。又如见面问候方式在不同的文化背景下也有所不同，日本人见面时习惯鞠躬；泰国人见面时双手放在胸前做出祈祷的动作并鞠躬；印度人双手合拢并且拇指贴胸，美国人会弯曲食指招呼别人向自己这边来，而我们中国人把这个动作看做是召唤动物，不能用在人的身上，如果用来召唤人则是对人的侮辱。 3、价值观差异价值观的差异是商务沟通中的一个重要方面，文化是价值观的体现，所以在跨文化商务沟通中文化冲突实际上也是价值观的冲突。西方的价值观是重视个人努力奋斗，进取竞争的，从个人的奋斗中肯定个人的能力，树立自信心，获得满足感和荣誉感，这是因为西方人独立平等意识较强，肯定个人能力，西方人接受、承认和肯定竞争。与西方文化相反，传统的东方文化强调集体主义，并不喜欢竞争和彰显自我，认为成功是集体努力的

商务英语-谈判

商务谈判常用语 在双方谈判的过程中，一定要注意倾听对方的发言，如果对对方的观点表示了解，可以说：I see what you mean. （我明白您的意思。） 如果表示赞成，可以说：That's a good idea. （是个好主意。）或者说：I agree with you. （我赞成。） 如果是有条件地接受，可以用on the condition that这个句型，例如：We accept your proposal, on the condition that you order 20,000 units. （如果您订2万台，我们会接受您的建议。） 在与外商，尤其是欧美国家的商人谈判时，如果有不同意见，最好坦白地提出来而不要拐弯抹角，比如，表示无法赞同对方的意见时，可以说：I don't think that's a good idea. （我不认为那是个好主意。）或者Frankly, we can't agree with your proposal. （坦白地讲，我无法同意您的提案。） 如果是拒绝，可以说：We're not prepared to accept your proposal at this time. （我们这一次不准备接受你们的建议。） 有时，还要讲明拒绝的理由，如To be quite honest, we don't believe this product will sell very well in China. （说老实话，我们不相信这种产品在中国会卖得好。） 谈判期间，由於言语沟通问题，出现误解也是在所难免的：可能是对方误解了你，也可能是你误解了对方。在这两种情况出现後，你可以说：No, I''m afraid you misunderstood me. What I was trying to say was…… （不，恐怕你误解了。我想说的是……）或者说：Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Then I go along with you. （哦，对不起，我误解你了。那样的话，我同意你的观点。） 总之不管你说什么，你最终的目的就是要促成一笔生意。即使不成，也要以善意对待对方，也许你以后还有机会，生意不成人情在，你说对吗？ 价格谈判常用句型 商谈价格是买卖之间很重要的一环。商品的价值往往同商品的本质关系密切。当要强调出口商品的品质以使交易达到理想的价格时，我们可以说：This one is very good for 10 US dollars.（这东西绝对值10美元。）或These are slightly higher in price, but their superior quality makes them more valuable than the less expensive ones.（这些货价稍微高了一点，但其优异的品质，使它们比那些便宜的货，更有价值。）在谈到商品价格便宜时，买方切

商务沟通论文 2013-06-02

摘要：沟通是人与人之间信息交流的必要手段，我们在沟通时或多或少都会有些问题，遇到问题要怎么去解决? 关键词：沟通、问题、解决方法 正文： 一、沟通的重要性 通过这学期学习商务沟通这门课，让我知道良好的人际交往和沟通能力不是与生俱来的，它需要在社会交往实践中学习，锻炼和提高。大学生在交往过程中，也有它内在的规律性，即依据一定的交往原则。只有遵循了正确的交往原则才能建立起和谐的人际关系，也不能在交往中掌握和创造更好的人际交往的艺术。 沟通是人与人之间进行信息交流的必要手段，每一个社会人都离不开沟通。如果您是一名销售人员，需要推销您的产品，就要与客户进行有效的沟通；如果您是一名中层管理者，为了更好的做好上传下达，也需要进行良好的沟通；如果您是公司的客服人员，良好的沟通是您处理客户关系的关键武器。不谈工作，在生活中，父母同样需要和孩子进行有效的沟通，才能更有助于孩子的成长；夫妻之间也需要良好的沟通，才能增进彼此的感情；另外，婆媳关系，朋友关系等等都需要良好的沟通。 二、自己在沟通上存在的问题 1、自我中心：在与别人交往时，“我”字优先，只顾及自己的需要和利益，强调自己的感受，而不考虑别人。在与他人相处时，不顾场合，不考虑别人的情绪，自己高兴时，就高谈阔论，眉飞色舞，手舞足蹈；不高兴时，就郁郁寡欢，谁都不理，或是乱发脾气，根本不尊重他人，漠视他人的处境和利益。 2、自我封闭：不愿让别人了解自己，总喜欢把自己的真实思想、情感和需要掩盖起来，往往持一种孤傲处世的态度，只注重自己的内心体验，在心理上人为地建立屏障，故意把自我封闭起来。 3、猜疑妒忌。对别人缺乏信任，胡乱猜忌，说风就是雨，很容易暗示。猜疑是人际关系和谐的蛀虫。 三、应该怎么样解决自己沟通上的问题（应该怎么做） 1、应该善于结交。在人际交往中，结交的过程一般要精力彼此注意、初步解除和亲密接触三个阶段。善于结交是指能够巧妙地引起对方注意，并主动制造机会，自然地与对方进行初步接触，进而保持进一步接触的过程。 2、善于表达。常言道：与君一席话，胜读十年书。谈话是沟通信息，获得间接

文化毕业论文浅谈文化差异对商务沟通的影响论文

浅谈文化差异对商务沟通的影响论文 摘要：在国际商务沟通中，文化差异起着非常重要的作用。从商务时间观、空间观、价值观和道德观以及人际关系等几 方面对文化差异在商务沟通中的影响做了探讨，分析了文化差异 在商务沟通中造成的障碍，提出了改善跨文化沟通效果的措施。 关键词：商务沟通；文化差异；影响；对策お 随着我国加入WTO，各种层次、各种类型的跨文化谈判、贸易和交往日益频繁，这使不同的文化因素在商务沟通中的影响 显得尤为重要。在跨国界的商务沟通中，往往由于彼此文化的差 异而导致商务信息传递不畅，甚至有时引起不必要的误会和尴尬，严重时还会造成分歧和矛盾，直接影响商务活动的办事效率。因此，分析文化差异对商务沟通的影响、研究正确的跨文化商务沟 通已成为经济全球化时代背景下刻不容缓的新课题。 1 主要的商务文化差异 文化差异是指不同国家、不同地区、不同民族在历史、 政治、经济、传统及风俗习惯等方面的差异。在国际商务沟通中，由于参与者来自不同国家，受其政治制度、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、教育背景的影响，其文化背景存在着明显的差异。不同文化背景 的人，对同一件事、同一句话、同一个动作都有着不同、甚至相 反的理解，中国古代哲人的名言“性相近，习相远”，也说明了 这个道理。主要的文化差异有： （1）商务时间观：文化不同，对时间的期求和处理的规 则也不同。爱德华`T`霍尔把时间的利用方式分为单一时间利用方 式和各种时间利用方式。单一性时间利用方式强调“专时专用”

和“速度”，北美人、中欧人和斯堪的纳维亚人具有此类特点。 多种时间利用方式强调“一时多用”，中东和拉美文化具有此类 特点。在商务谈判中，美国人视时间为金钱，而阿拉伯、南美和 亚洲某些商务会谈可能一连数小时都不涉及正题。因此，两个采 用不同时间利用方式的经营者遇到一起时，就需要调整，以便建 立和谐的关系。 （2）商务空间观：不同群体空间开放程度不同，如美国 人工作时开门表示愿意与外界沟通，而德国人工作时喜欢闭门享 受安静的空间。空间占有欲不同，有的国家喜欢将所有的空间利 益据为己有，而有的国家追求空间的合理规划和分工协作。对各 自空间保留的需求不同。西欧人喜欢保持距离，而阿拉伯国家则 倾向于近距离的身体接触表示友好。 （3）商务价值观和道德观：西方的伦理体系重视竞争， 鼓励个人奋斗，倡导民众不断开拓进取，通常在取得成就后会充 分肯定自己的能力、体现自信心和荣誉感。而东方文化鼓励民众 遵规守纪，流行中庸主义，主张含蓄的表达和谦虚的态度。在经 济全球化时代，过度的谦虚是不受国际主流文化欣赏的。在道德 方面，东方强调奉献和助人，而西方人注重独立平等和自我意识，鼓励个人能力，不允许他人侵犯自己的权利。在国际商务沟通中，我方人员应尽力培养和提高自身独立处理事情的能力，在别人没 有主动提出时不轻易施助于人。 （4）人际交流：商务礼仪虽不是沟通活动中最主要的差别，但其影响不可忽视。在寒暄方式上，中国人喜欢询问对方的 姓名、职业等个人情况，而西方人忌讳陌生人问及个人私事，因 此在见面的寒暄环节应注意方式和内容，以免礼貌的问候和善意 的关心被外方误会为干涉私事。在致谢方式上，通常中国人对于 赞美都会谦虚回敬，而西方人推崇自身价值的肯定，总是得意的
