听力原文：Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a business class. Professor Good morning, everyone. Today, Ur...first of all, Id like to talk about business customs around the world. The world is becoming smaller and smaller with the development of science and technology. Are you going to attend an academic conference or are you going to do business with foreigners？ The following passage gives advice on customs and protocol in a variety of different countries. Foreign cultures adhere to different business customs and protocol. For example, caffeine junkies should restrain themselves in the Middle East. Three cups of tea or coffee is usually the polite limit in offices and during social calls. However, if your host keeps going, you also may continue sipping. If youve had your fill, give your empty cup a quick twist, a sort of wiggle, as you hand it back. That means, "No more, thank you. " Also, visitors to the Middle East should not be surprised if others barge right into the office in the middle of your conversation with the person you are seeing. An old Arab custom calls for keeping an open office. The British, however, consider it impolite to interrupt a visitor, even after all business has been transacted. The commercial caller is expected to be sensitive to this point, know when to stop, and initiate his or her own departure. Spanish business people connect with tangibles. Samples of products of services should be offered whenever possible. Additionally, in Spain, offices and retail establishments generally close from 1:00 p. m. to as late as 4:30 p. m. Alfonso Escalera, U. S. representative for Spanish Line shipping company, adds that black shoes, not brown, are considered proper for business occasions. The Spanish have historically favored black and ultra-dark colors. Good office manners in Indonesia require the visitor to present a business card immediately. If no card is offered, long delays may result. The mark of a thoughtful executive is to have one side in English and the other in Bahasa. In Japan, a visitor should be prepared to distribute as many as 40 business cards a day. Protocol in France calls for listing academic credentials on ones calling cards. In Japan, certain guests at evening business gatherings will leave early. They should be allowed to leave without enthusiastic good-byes. The Japanese consider formal departures to be disruptive in such cases and disturbing to remaining guests. In Scandinavia and Finland, business guests may be asked to shed their clothes and join their hosts in a sauna. The invitation is a sign that a good working relationship has been established. In Denmark, a visitor who is invited to a business associates home should take flowers or some unusual delicacy. In Norway, to be totally correct, the visitor should send a gift the day after dinner; in France always send flowers before visiting a home for dinner. However, dont send chrysanthemums; theyre for funerals. Beyond flowers and gifts, the French prefer a business visitor to sponsor a special occasion after major dealings. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 1. What is the talk mainly about？ 2. In the lecture, the professor describes customs and protocol in a variety of different countries. Indicate whether each of the following is customs and protocol in the countries. Tick the correct box for each phrase. 3. What is the protocol in France concerning calling cards？ 4. According to the professor, what is the sign that a good working relationship has been established in Scandinavia？ 5. In the following, what is implied based on the professors description？ Professor Japanese consider early formal departures to be disruptive in such cases and disturbing to remaining guests, they should are allowed to leave without enthusiastic good-byes. 6.

听力原文：Narrator Listen to part of a lecture on New-age Transport. Professor Computerized design, advanced materials and new technologies are being used to produce machines of a type never seen before. It looks as if it came straight from the set of Star Wars. It has four-wheel drive and rises above rocky surfaces. It lowers and raises its nose when going up and down hills. And when it comes to a river, it turns amphibious; two hydrojets power it along by blasting water under its body. There is room for two passengers and a driver, who sit inside a glass bubble operating electronic, aircraft-type controls. A vehicle so daring on land and water needs windscreen wipers —but it doesnt have any. Water molecules are disintegrated on the screens surface by ultrasonic sensors. This unusual vehicle is the Racoon. It is an invention not of Hollywood but of Renault, a rather conservative French state-owned carmaker, better known for its family hatchbacks. Renault built the Racoon to explore new freedoms for designers and engineers created by advances in materials and manufacturing progresses. Renault is thinking about startlingly different cars: other producers have radical new ideas for trains, boats and aeroplanes. The first of the new freedoms is in design. Powerful computer-aided design(CAD)systems can replace with a click of a computer mouse hours of laborious work done on thousands of drawing boards, so new products, no matter how complicated, can be developed much faster. For the first time, Boeing will not have to build a giant replica of its new airliner, the 777, to make sure all the bits fit together. Its CAD system will take care of that. But Renault is taking CAD further. It claims the Racoon is the worlds first vehicle to be designed within the digitized world of virtual reality. Complex programs were used to simulate the vehicle and the terrain that it was expected to cross. This allowed a team led by Patrick le Quement, Renaults industrial-design director, to "drive" it long before a prototype existed. Renault is not alone in thinking that virtual reality will transform. automotive design. In Detroit, Ford is also investigating its potential. Jack Telnack, the firms former head of design, would like designers in different parts of the world to work more closely together, linked by computers. They would do more than style. cars. Virtual reality will allow engineers to peer inside the working parts of a vehicle. Designers will watch bearings move, oil flow, gears mesh and hydraulics pump. As these techniques catch on, even stranger vehicles are likely to come along. Transforming these creations from virtual reality to actual reality will also become easier, especially with advances in materials. Firms that once bashed everything out of steel now find that new alloys of composite materials are changing the rules of manufacturing. At the same time, old materials keep getting better, as their producers try to secure their place in the factory of the future. This competition is increasing the pace of development of all materials. Again, the Racoon reflects this race between the old and the new. It uses conventional steel and what Renault describes as new "high-limit elastic steel" in its chassis. This steel is 30% lighter than the usual kind. The Racoon also has parts made from composites. Renault plans to replace the petrol engine with a small gas turbine, which could be made from heat resisting ceramics, and use it to run a generator that would provide power for electric motors at each wheel. With composites, it is possible to build many different parts into a single component. Fiat, Italys helped to design for General Motors, uses a two-stroke engine in a "power pod" at the rear of the vehicle. The engine has been developed from an East German design and weighs 40% less than a conventional engine but produces as much power. It is expected to run clearly enough to quality as an ultra-low emissions vehicle under Californias tough new rules. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 18. What is Renault most famous for？ 19. Why will Boeing not need a replica of the 777？ 20. How did Renault test the Racoon？ Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. Professor For the first time, Boeing will not have to build a giant replica of its new airliner, the 777, to make sure all the bits fit together. Its CAD system will take care of that. But Renault is taking CAD further. 21. What does the professor imply when she says this？ Professor But Renault is taking CAD further. 22. Why does the professor say this？ Professor Renault is not alone in thinking that virtual reality will transform. automotive design. 23. Which of the following is mentioned as an ingredient of a composite？Narrator Listen to part of a lecture on New-Age Transport. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.
What is Renault most famous for？
A．Startlingly different cars.
