单选题
A. considering B. to consider C. considered D. considers
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】语法题。本题所在句子为复杂长句,主句主干结构是The international involvement varies。at which后是一个定语从句,其中overseas sales and profits take on importance和top management begins是该部分并列句。而37题所在的when…是一个修饰stage的定语从句,其中is oriented和最后一个and后的considers为the company的并列谓语,这里需要的是一个谓语动词,故[D]为答案。

A. citywide B. countrywide C. nationwide D. worldwide
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】形容词辨析题。本段第二句在对跨国公司进行解释时就提到了a global perspective in its management(在管理方面具有全球视角)。本句中又出现了这一概念,很容易得出这里也应该选择一个与global同义的形容词。worldwide意为“全球的”,与global是同义词,故是答案。citywide意为“全市性的”;countrywide意为“全国的”;nationwide意为“全国性的”。
