2017年6月英语四级阅读理解100篇精析汇总
The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司),global marketing, new
communicationstechnologies, and shrinking cultural differences haveled to an
unparalleled increase in global publicrelations or PR.
Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely anAmerican invention, America's
relations is beingthreatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago,
for example, the world’s top fivepublic relations agencies were American-owned.
In 1991, only one was. The British inparticular are becoming more sophisticated
and creative. A recent survey found that morethan half of all British companies
include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planningactivities, compared to
about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before Londonreplaces New
York as the capital of PR.
Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a
whole tend to befairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs.
Knowledge of world geography, forexample, has never been strong in this country.
Secondly, Americans lag behind their Europeanand Asian counterparts (相对应的人) in
knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent ofBurson—Marshall’s U.S.
employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the samepercentage.
Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in
asecond language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closereye
on internationalaffairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans
read the Wall Street Journal.Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as
well as the Financial Times of London and TheEconomist, publications not often
read in this country.
Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable
News Network).Turner recently announced that the word “foreign”would no longer
be used on CNN newsbroadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have
made the nations of the world sointerdependent that there is no longer any such
things as foreign.

参考答案
1. 事实细节题。由第2段第1句美国在公关方面威胁是来自其他国家在这方面的努力，故得知D为正确答案。
2.
事实细节题。第2段最后两句提到，最近的研究调查发现，英国有超过一半的公司将PR作为其公司的计划活动的一部分,而美国只有三分之一的公司这样做，不久伦敦将取代纽约成为PR的中心。因此B为正确答案。
3.
词义理解题。provincial是province“省;区域;范围”的派生词，可见它与“区域性的、一定范围的”的意思有关。文中提到美国人相当provincial，更关心的是本地的事情，因此provincial的意思与A最为接近。
4.
推理判断题。第3段提到了美国在全球公共竞赛中与其欧洲对手相比落后的三个主要原因：美国人视野较窄，只关心本地的事物，关于世界地理的知识了解不多(但并不是一无所知，因此B不正确);外语流利的人很少(可见A是不正确的);阅读面很窄，只读《华尔街日报》(可见D也不正确)。由此可推断出美国人与其欧洲对手相比，没有那么老练，因此C为正确答案。
5.
事实细节题。文章最后两句提到，特纳宣称在CNN的新闻广播中“foreign”一词将不再被使用，全球化的通讯已经使得世界各国相互依靠，从而不再需要“foreign”这类东西，也就是说所有人都应当具有国际观念，因此A为正确答案。
