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.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executives stationed in another country no longer need fear being "
out of sight and out of mind
. " He or she 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.
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.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the
edge
when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to
move
more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm. [br] The sentence "Our planet has shrunk" underlined in Paragraph 1 means that______.
选项
A、the earth has become physically smaller
B、the more advanced ways of traveling has made the distance between countries shorter
C、the traditional concept of our planet has become out-of-date
D、modern means of communication has made it much easier for people to communicate with each other from different parts of the world
答案
D
解析
语义题型见第一段:新科技以前所未有的形式将这个世界连接起来。我们的星球“缩小”了。它现在是个“地球村”,因为通过电话、传真、卫星联结,各国之间只是数秒间的距离;因此本题意为:现代的通讯方式使得世界各地的人们交流更方便了。D为答案。
