Section II : Reading Comprehension [30 points]

Part 1: Questions 16-20 are based on this part. (15 points)

Read Passage 1 , and then answer Questions 16-20 briefly. Write your answers on the Answer

Sheet.

Passage 1

People in low and high--context cultures tend to communicate differently with words. To

Americans and Germans , words are very important , especially in contracts and negotiations.

People in high-context cultures , on the other hand , place more emphasis on the surrounding

context than on the words describing a negotiation. A Greek sees a contract as a formal

statement announcing the intention to build a business for the future. 丁he Japanese treat

contracts as statements of intention , and they assume changes will be made as a project

develops. The Mexican treat contracts as artistic exercises of what might be accomplished in

an ideal world. They do not expect contracts to apply consistently in the real world. An

Arab may be insulted by merely mentioning a contract; a man' s word is more binding.

Americans tend to take words literally , while Latins enjoy playing on words; and Arabs

sometimes speak with extravagant or poetic figures of speech that may he misinterpreted if

taken literally. Nigerians prefer a quiet , clear form of expression; and Germans tend to be

direct but understated.

In communication style , Americans val ue straightforwardness , are suspicious of

evasiveness , and distrust people \vho might have a "hidden agenda" or who "play their cards

too close to the chest. " Americans also tend to be uncomfortable with silence and inlpatient

with delays. Some Asian businesspeople have learned that the longer they drag out

negotiations. the more concessions impatient Americans are likely to make.

Western cultures have developed languages that use letters describing the sounds of

words. But Asian languages are based on pictographical characters representing the meanings

Page 5: I - tsg.nbtvu.net.cntsg.nbtvu.net.cn/dzwx/testpaper/testpaperbox/kaifangkecheng/1107...Choose the most appropriate one and ... One way of talking about the different stages in getting

Jf words. Asian language characters are much more complex than the Western alphabet;

therefore , Asians are said to have a higher competence in the discrimination of visual

patterns.

16. Is American culture low context or high context?

17. How are words used differently by ρeoρle in low and high-context cultures?

18. What kind of communication style do people in low context culture value?

19. What have some Asian businessρeoρle learned about their American negotiation

户artner ? •

20. Why Asian ρeoρIe are considered competent in telling the difference between

pictures with certain ρatterns ?

Part 2: Questions 21-25 are based on this part. (15 points)

Read Passage 2 and then decide whether each of Statenlents 21-25 is True or False according to

the information given in the passage. Write "T" for true and "F" for false on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 2

In many European countries handshaking is an automatic gesture. In France good

manners require that on arriving at a business meeting a manager shakes hands with

everyone present. Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries , including Germany ,

Belgium and Italy. But Northern Europeans , such as the British and Scandinavians , are not

quite so fond of ph)!岱cal demonstrations of friendliness.

In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food , but the way you

behave as you eat. In France it is not good manners to raise tricky questions of business over

the main course. Business has its place: after the cheese course. Unless you are prepared to

eat in silence you have to talk about sornething - something , that is , other than the

business deal , which you are continually chewing over in your head.

Italians give similar importance to the whole process of business entertaining. In fact , in

Italy the biggest fear , as course after course appears , is that you entirely forget you are there

on business. If you have the energy , you can always do the polite thing when the meal finally

ends , and offer to pay. Then , after a lively discussion , you must remelnber the next polite

thing to do - let your host pick up the bilL

The Gerrnans are notable for the amount of formality they bring to business. As an

outsider , it is often difficult to kno\v whether colleagues have been working together for 30

years or have just met for the first time in their life. If you are used to calling people by their

first names this can be a little strange. To the Germans , titles are important. Forgetting

that someone should be called Herr Doktor or Frau Dire走torin might cause serious offence.

It is equally offensive to call them by a title they do not possess.

21. People in Britain shake hands just as much as people in Germany.

22. 1"η1 France ρeωo户 Ie pre}古er tωal歧走 1 1η19 (ωlbo iωt

Section ill : Communication Analysis [40 points]

Instructions: The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication. In each of

the cases there is something to be improved upon. Write an analysis on what is to be desired for

more successful communication or cultural understanding in each case by answering Questions

26-28 respectively. Your analysis of each case should be about 100-150 words. Write your

answers on the Answer Shee t.

Note! Your \vriting ability will also be assessed in this section of the test.

Case 1 (10 points)

Chen Gang has just got to kno\v his new Anlerican friend Jim , who came to learn

Chinese in Zhejiang University one rnonth ago. One day , Chen Gang invited Jim to dinner

together with two of his Chinese friends. It was a very nice and decent meal. l'here were a

lot of dishes that Jim hadn' t tasted before. He kept finishing what Chen (;ang and his

friends put on his plate eagerly until he felt to burst. But there was still a lot left on the table

when the dinner was over. Jinl. felt sorry for that. And he was surprised that Chen Gang and

his friends fought for paying. At last , Chen Gang paid the bill. Jim thought that it was a

very expensive meal , and he would so n1uch like to go Dutch with them.

Question 26 :

Why was Jim surprised and puzzled? How would you explain to Jim about the Chinese way of

entertaining friends as Chen Gang did?

Case 2 (15 points)

Lin had traveled 20 hours from Beijing to New York. He needed a good meal. His

Anlerican friend , Mike , nlet him. But lVl ike only offered him a plate of roasted chicken and a

glass of orange juice. Lin was used to having a nlain course , and asked Mike if he had any

rice. Mike said he only had fried noodles. and Lin had to make do with it. Though Lin knew

Americans didn' t care very much about what food they ate , he still felt surprised because he

had taken Mike to the most famous duck restaurant in Beijing - Quanj ude - when he arrived

in Beijing.

Question 27 :

Why did Lin feel surprised? Offer some advice to him about adjusting to his new environment in

America

Case 3 (15 points)

l...ee , an overseas student from China , once had a talk with his l\merican classmate

l'om.

l.,ee : It really puzzles nle that you Arrlericans thank people all day long. When the

teacher answers your questions , when your rnother buys you a book that you need , when a

wife brings her husband a cup of coffee , after a salesgirl attends you.

Tom: Well , when I finished my tour in China , I said "thank you" to the interpreter who

accompanied me during the tour. The interpreter replied , "It' s my duty to do so. " I can' t

help thinking that he means , "I had no choice but to do it , because it is my duty. Otherwise

I would not have done so. "

Questions 28:

What makes Lee puzzled and why? Is the interpreter' s reply appropriate in the English context?

Question 26.

Case 1 (10 points , 7 points for the analysis , 3 points for overall language quality. )

1) In ..~nlerica , people value equality. When having dinner together , people usually have

their own share of food , and are not supposed to share with the other. Nor are they used to

putting food on the other' s plate. Moreover , people stress frugality and simplicity , so

everyone is supposed to clean the plate without leaving any food on it. At the end of the

dinner.. to show equality , it is quite comn1on for the friends to pay for their o,vn meal.

2)4A.S a ne\v comer to China , Jim didn"t quite understand C·hinese way of eating out with

friends. What he found at the Chinese restaurant was quite different from the way in

America.

rrhe guest needs not finish the food if he or she really doesn' t like it. \Vhat' s more , people

favor generosity. The more generous they are , the more respectable they will be among their

friends. 'fherefore , in front of their friends , people would likely to try to be generous in

order to save the face even though they are not rich enough. f\nd it is quite common for the

friends to fight for paying the bill to show their generosity.

Question 27.

Casξ2 (15 points , 10 points for the analysis , 5 points for overall language quality. )

1. On the topic of hospitality , the Chinese stress is on warmth and demonstrating

friendship. They take the guest to a famous or luxurious restaurant to have a very good

(expensive) nleal to show their hospitality. And the Chinese are used to having a big meal.

The more dishes they put out , the greater the warmth and friendship they show.

2. In western countries , people stress on freedom. They give the guest great freedom to

choose their o,vn foods. And Vlesterners tend to have onlyone main course and some juice or

dessert , which is viewed as casual in the eyes of the Chinese. [Note! If the student answers

that Western people have only three courses , this is also correct! ]

3. Lin lived in American surroundings and should have adjusted himself quickly to the

new world (lifestyle). He should have known the custom there first , and felt more at ease in

Mike' shame

Question 28.

Case 3 (15 points , 10 points for the analysis , 5 points for overall language quality. )

1. A Chinese student would always thank his/her teacher for the latter' shelp , but

would seldom do so to his/her parents because Chinese people don' t usually say" Thank

you" to those who are very close. They would rather choose some implicit ways to show

their gratitude and concern , such as saying something like "leile ba?"(累了吧) "Xingku Ie. "

〈辛苦了)叮{uai xiexie ba. " (快歇歇吧) etc. But one traditional Chinese concept holds that it

is the duty of the young and the junior to do something for the elderly and the senior , and so

the latter don' t have to say thanks.

2. Saying "Thank you" is very common in America 啻even between parents and children ,

husband and wife for very small and ordinary things. So they thank all day long. They use

words like "Please" , "Excuse me" , "Thank you" in daily conversation , whether between

intimates or between strangers.

3. Both English and Chinese cultures require their members to respond to thanks. But

they have different expressions. The interpreter' s reply was far from the message he/she

actually intended to convey.
