第10题：
单选题请阅读Passage 2,完成第 26~30小题。Passage 2In spite of endless talk of difference, American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference characteristic of popular culture. People are absorbed into a culture of consumption launched by the 19th-century department stores that offered vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite these were storesanyone could enter, regardless of class or background. Tlus turned shopping into a public and democratic act. The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. In the10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every l, 000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every l, 000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation-language, home ownership and intermarriage.The 1990 Census revealed that a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries oforigin spoke English 'well' or 'very well' after ten years of residence. The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English.By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families. Hence the description of America as agraveyard for languages. By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.Foreign-born Asians and Hispanicshave higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks. By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yetsome Americans fear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power.Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social enviromuent.The word homogenizing ( Para. 1) most probably means ____.Aidentifying
Bassociating
Cassimilating
Dmonopolizing

第16题：
一、简答题(本题共3题。第1小题8分。第2小题10分，第3小题17分。共35分)
1、请简述企业组织信息采集的程序。(8分)答案：解析：企业组织信息采集的程序如下：
(1)调研准备阶段 在本阶段，调研人员通过对企业的相关信息进行初步分析和非正式调研，确定调研的主题内容和范围。
①初步情况分析。初步情况分析是指调研人员对本部门、本企业已掌握的相关信息进行初步分析，了解情况，提出假设的调研主题。要求企业和部门在提供信息时．从实际出发，实事求是，并尽可能突出重点，抓住问题的要害。
②非正式调研。非正式调研是指对假设的调研主题展开调查，发现新问题，淘汰旧问题，探求真正的问题所在。调研人员可以调查访问有经验的专业技术人员、相关人员和个别用户，听取他们的一般性意见，进一步明确该调查项目的具体目的和要求，做到有的放矢。
③确定调研目标。调研目标的确定是指在初步情况分析和非正式调研之后，逐步缩小调查范围，明确调查目的，确定调查项目的重点。
(2)
正式调研阶段 在本阶段，调研人员应确定获取相关信息的手段与方法，设计出科学合理的调查表格，并按预定的计划和设想，到现
场展开调查。
①相关信息的来源
a．原始资料。又称第一手资料．或初级资料．是指调研人员自己采集的资料，如企业的业务状况记录、销售记录、成本记录、用户意见簿记录、消费者反馈信息记录、对批发企 业和零售企业的调查记录等。
B．二手资料。又称次级资料，是指经过别人采集、整理和初步分析过的资料。这种资料通过机关、企业等单位或报纸杂志获得．成本低，但很可能失实，或由于时间、地点、条件变化而使资料失去使用价值。
②选择抽样方法，设计调查问卷 理想的调查问卷和科学合理的抽样方法，是调研顺利进行的保证。调查问卷应根据调查内容而设置，要求做到文字简练、通俗易懂，内容简单、明确，所提的问题不宜太长、太繁，要便于被调查者回答．尽可能让被调查者用“√”或“×”来回答，这样也便于数据的统计、处理和分析。
③实地调查 实地调查又称现场调查，是指到现场去调查，以获取第一手资料。这一环节对调查人员的思想政治水平、工作责任心、业务技巧水平和工作能力有很高的要求，因此要对调研人员进行慎重的选择、科学的培训和有效的管理。 -

单选题According to the passage, “They don’t talk the same language” (Paragraph 1), can refer to problems in ______.Aunderstanding metaphor.
Blearning foreign languages.
Cunderstanding dialect or style.
Ddealing with technological change.
正确答案： A解析：
题干中已经明确指出答案出自第一段，因此根据题干关键词They don’t talk the same language可定位到最后一句“‘They don’t talk the same language’ has a major metaphorical meaning alongside its literal one”, 可知本题考查的应该是这句话的隐喻意思，因此应该在第一段中进行概括总结，这时会发现倒数第二句“‘Common language’ here usually means a foreign language, but the same point applies in principle to any encounter with unfamiliar dialects or styles within a single language”，意思是“共同语言指的是一门外语，但是说同一语言下的不熟悉的方言或文体内也会有类似的问题”，由此可知，这里They don’t talk the same language应该理解为在方言和文体上存在的问题。该句先是说通常情况下，所以该题选C。 -
