All programs in the area of

2
Department________ Student

taught in English or the language of the
target country. Providers will be .glad to
supply you with additional information on
these courses. You can contact the
providers
directly to find out more about a program and the
training provider.
To guarantee high standards
in the database, iMOVE has developed quality
standards for training providers and their
service. All of the training facilities in the
iMOVE database have to follow these quality
criteria (标准). All training providers
who
publish their international training programs in

Passage Two
Questions 36 to 40 are based
on the following passage.
In the United
States, a person can take credit only for what he
has accomplished
by himself. Americans get no
credit whatever for having been born into a rich
or
privileged family. (In the United States,
that would be considered “an accident of
birth.”) Americans pride themselves in having
been born poor and, through their own
hard
work, having climbed the difficult ladder of
success to whatever level they have
achieved
---all by themselves. The American social system
has, of course, made it
possible for Americans
to move, relatively easily, up the social ladder,
whereas this is
impossible to do in many other
countries. The “self-made man or woman” is still
very
much the ideal in present-day America.
Americans believe that competition brings out
the best in any individual. They
claim that it
challenges or forces each person to produce the
very best that is humanly
possible.
Consequently, the foreign visitor will see
competition being fostered in the
American
home and in the American classroom, even at the
youngest age levels. You
may find the value
placed on competition disagreeable, especially, if
you come from a
society that promotes
cooperation rather than competition among
individuals. But
Americans teaching in Third
World countries find the lack of competitiveness
in a
classroom situation equally
distressing(令人苦恼的). They soon learnt that what
they
had thought to be one of the universal
human characteristics represented only a
peculiarly American (or Western) value.
Americans, valuing competition, have devised
an economic system to go with it –
free
enterprise (自由企业制). Americans feel very strongly
that a highly competition
3
Department________ Student
ID___________ Name___________ Score_______
will progress most rapidly. If you look for
it, you will see evidence in all areas – in all
fields as diverse (不同的) as medicine, the arts,
education, and sports – that free
enterprise
is the approach most often preferred in America.
36. What does the author mean by saying “The
„self-made man or woman‟ is still very
much
the ideal in present-day America”? ______
A.
Americans no longer respect those who are born
rich as they used to.
B. Americans still
respect those who have climbed up the social
ladder through
hard work.
C. Americans
think that an ideal man or woman should be born
poor.
D. Americans think that only the self-
made man or woman is worthy of respect.
37.
What does the author think of the American social
system ? ______
A. It is a system that does
not favor those who are born rich.
B. It is a
system that makes social climbing very difficult,
if not impossible.
C. It makes it
comparatively easy for the poor to move up the
social ladder.
D. It is the best system
possible in the world.
38. Americans teaching
in Third World countries found that ______.
A.
competition is a unique American (or Western)
value
B. competition must be fostered in the
classroom for success in business
C.
cooperation is more important than competition in
bringing about progress
D. competition is one
of the universal human characteristics
39. We
can infer from the passage that free enterprise is
______.
A. an economic system allowing free
competition among businesses
B. a belief that
competition brings out the best in any individual
C. an attitude that values competition rather
than cooperation
D. a theory that advocates
competition as the source of all progress
40.
Americans would most likely frown at you if you
______.
A. tell them you were born poor and
had to work with your hands.
B. complain that
you were born poor and had had no opportunities
C. go around telling people that your father
is a self-made man
D. tell them that their
social system is not necessarily the best
