The role of corporate culture is to improve a pany39。s mission and strategies, with longterm hopes of improvements in a pany39。s profit. Mostly corporate culture es from a pany39。s top management. One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and pliance（服從）. A pany does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions. A direct influence may be a set of written regulations or other policies, and while these may be in place, the corporate culture is usually more of an indirect influence. While many panies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies, its role is harder to define. The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed. The way uppermanagement acts and reacts to various situations defines how lowerlevel employees will act, and this aspect may be more important than any written policy. A pany39。s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a pany to be honest and forthright（直率）may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a pany39。s customer service department can also exhibit positive corporate culture to outside individuals. In this case, the culture creates a link between the pany39。s employees and its customers. How customers react may be a direct result from the pany39。s corporate culture. Product quality can also be influenced by a pany39。s corporate culture. Companies that focus only on profits may decide to avoid highquality materials in products, but try to suggest that the products are of higher quality than they really are. This negative culture can then result in lower brand loyalty with consumers.（1）What do we know about corporate culture from this passage?

In this case, the culture creates a link between the pany39。s employees and its customers.”可知公司客服部門(mén)的員工也可以向外界展示積極的企業(yè)文化。在這種情況下，企業(yè)文化在員工和客戶之間建立了聯(lián)系，而客戶的反應(yīng)可能是公司企業(yè)文化的直接結(jié)果。即可知積極的企業(yè)文化可以促進(jìn)銷(xiāo)售。故選D。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Companies that focus only on profits may decide to avoid highquality materials in products, but try to suggest that the products are of higher quality than they really are.”可知那些只注重利潤(rùn)的公司可能會(huì)決定在產(chǎn)品中避免使用高質(zhì)量的材料，但要盡量表明產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量比實(shí)際質(zhì)量高。公司用低質(zhì)量的產(chǎn)品冒充品質(zhì)好的產(chǎn)品，這是一種“不誠(chéng)實(shí)”的行為，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Tiny Countries You Never knew Existed Sao Tome and Principe Sao Tome and Principe off Africa39。s west coast is only 372 square miles, but it has Impressive, undamaged nature, rich in biodiverse species.
