3.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AThe engineer Camillo Olivetti was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908. At his factory in lvera, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter. Today the company’s head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much lareer than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.Camilllo’s son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He introduecd a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and desion specialists. The company developed new and better typewriters and the calculators(计算器).In 1959 it prodyced the ELLA computer system. This was the first mainframe(主机)computer designed and brade in Italy.After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially the Janpanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marking and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it became one, of the world’s leading companies in informationg technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group --- one for personal computers,one for other office equipment, one for systerms and servicse, and two for telecommunications.56.From the text we learn that__________.A.by 1930 Olivetti produced 13,000 typewriters a yearB. Olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950sC.some of Olivetti,s 700 staff regularly visited customers in ItalyD. Olivetti set up offices in other countries from the very beginning

4.Most companies expect IT (Information Technology) managers to head an IT staff of computer technicians. But IT managers can also specialize in other areas. Some managers may also be responsible for keeping their company’s Internet safety. They protect both their company and their online customers from thieves.Other managers focus more on the business rather than the technical part of computing. They become project managers, helping companies reach as many online customers as possible.Some companies also look for IT managers who can act as trainers. These trainers help a company’s computer technicians keep up-to-date on computer skills.Most companies require their IT managers to have both a bachelor’s degree and some experience in the computer field. Often, companies hire IT managers out of their existing staff of computer technicians.Since IT managers are extremely important to companies’ success, it’s no surprise that they receive such high salaries – around US $56,000 a year to start with. And, in such a fast-changing field,managers’ salaries usually increase after only a couple of years.The world will be watching to see just how quickly e-commerce replaces the old ways of doing business. And as computers change the way the world does business, IT managers will be in the middle of it all. Few companies can survive without them.Besides being the leader of computer technicians, IT managers are also expected to be ________.(A) experienced product designers(B) skilled online technicians(C) doctorate holders(D) online safety specialists

    3 Spica, one of the director shareholders of Acrux Ltd, has been in dispute with the other shareholders over plans to

    expand the company’s activities overseas. In order to resolve the position it has been agreed that Spica will sell her

    shares back to the company. Once the purchase of her shares has taken place, the company intends to establish a

    number of branches overseas and acquire a shareholding in a number of companies that are resident and trade in

    overseas countries.

    The following information has been obtained from client files and meetings with the parties involved.

    Acrux Ltd:

    – An unquoted UK resident company.

    – Share capital consists of 50,000 ordinary shares issued at £1·90 per share in July 2000.

    – None of the other shareholders has any connection with Spica.

    The purchase of own shares:

    – The company will purchase all of Spica’s shares for £8 per share.

    – The transaction will take place by the end of 2008.

    Spica:

    – Purchased 8,000 shares in Acrux Ltd for £2 per share on 30 September 2003.

    – Has no income in the tax year 2008/09.

    Investment in non-UK resident companies:

    – Acrux Ltd will acquire between 15% and 20% of each of the non-UK resident companies.

    – The companies will not be controlled foreign companies as the rates of tax in the overseas countries will be

    between 23% and 42%.

    – There may or may not be a double tax treaty between the UK and the overseas countries in which the companies

    are resident. Where there is a treaty, it will be based on the OECD model treaty.

    – None of the countries concerned levy withholding tax on dividends paid to UK companies.

    – The directors of Acrux Ltd are concerned that the rate of tax suffered on the profits of the overseas companies

    will be very high as they will be taxed in both the overseas country and in the UK.

    The World' s Best-Selling Medicine

    Since ancient times,people all over the world have used willow to stop pain.The willow tree contains
    salicylic acid(水杨酸).This stops pain,but there is one problem. Salicylic acid also hurts the stomach. In
    1853,a French scientist made a mixture from willow that did not hurt the stomach.However,his mixture was
    difficult to make,and he did not try to produce or sell it.
    In 1897,in Germany,Felix Hoffmann also made a mixture with salicylic acid.He tried it himself first
    and then gave it to his father because his father was old and in a lot of pain.His father's pain went away,
    and the mixture did not hurt his stomach.
    Hoffmann worked for Bayer,a German company.He showed his new drug to his manager,who tested
    the drug and found that it worked well,Bayer decided to make the drug.They called it aspirin and put the
    Bayer name on every pill.
    Aspirin was an immediate success.Almost everyone has pain of some kind,so aspirin answered a true
    need.Aspirin was cheap,easy to take,and effective.It also lowered fevers.Aspirin was a wonder drug.
    At first,Bayer sold the drug through doctors,who then sold it to their patients.In 1915,the company
    started to sell aspirin in drugstores. In the United States, Bayer had a patent(专利权)on the drug. Other
    companies could make similar products and sell them in other countries,but only Bayer could make and sell
    aspirin in the United States.In time, Bayer could no longer own the name aspirin in the United States. Other
    companies could make it there,too. However,Bayer aspirin was the most well known,and for many years,
    it was the market leader.
    By the 1950s, new painkillers were on the market.Aspirin was no longer the only way to treat pain and
    reduce fever. Bayer and other companies looked for other drugs to make.However,in the 1970s they got a
    surprise.Doctors noticed that patients who were taking aspirin had fewer heart attacks than other people.A
    British researcher named John Vane found the reason aspirin helped to prevent heart attacks. In 1982,he
    won the Nobel Prize for his research.Doctors started to tell some of their patients to take aspirin every day to
    prevent heart attacks.It has made life better for the many people who take it.It has also made a lot of money
    for companies like Bayer that produce and sell it!

    Bayer aspirin was_________.
    A:the only drug with the name "aspirin"
    B:the first aspirin sold in the United States
    C:not sold in drugstores in 1915
    D:not easy to find in drugstores

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第一段最后一句话可知,这位法国科学家没有生产他发现的这种止痛药是因为 太难制作了。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句话可知,Felix Hoffmann把自己制作的药给父亲因为他父亲年纪大 了且又遭受着病痛之苦。这可以推测为Felix Hoffmann发明止痛药的原因。故选B。
    由文章第三段第二句话可知,Felix Hoffmann把药带给公司主管,检测后发现药物的止 痛效果很好,所以公司才决定生产这种药。故选C。
    由文章倒数第二段第三句话可知,虽然其他公司可以制作类似药品并在其他国家销 售,但是只有Bayer公司可以在美国生产并销售阿司匹林。故选B。
    由文章最后一段第五句话可知,医生们注意到服用阿司匹林的病人要比未服用的病人 心脏病发作的几率少很多。阿司匹林的这种功效是在市场上出现其他止痛药后被发现的。故 选C。第5部分:补全短文

  • 第6题:

    根据以下内容,回答233-236题。
    The Hidden Price Tag
    For many small or recently established businesses, finding sources of capital can be difficult.
    Companies are often in need of funds before they can build a stable customer base, so they are forced to turn to investors. Many such businesses soon discover, however, that this borrowed money can come at a high price. If entrepreneurs are not careful about which investors they do business with, their companies can suffer the consequences.
    The most common problem, according to financial experts, are investment deals that allow the investor to take control of key operations away from the company's management. Struggling firms and new businesses facing mounting start-up costs can be easily tempted to take the offer that provides them with the most money, regardless of the deal's conditions.
    Unfortunately, the biggest investment usually comes with the most strings attached. For example, some deals give the venture capital finn seats on the board of the company it invests in.
    From this position, the investor has the ability to control all aspects of a company's operations,including decisions concerning mergers or sales. This situation may remain tolerable as long as the investor and the management share the same goals. Yet, the investor will inevitably choose to protect its own interests over those of the company, creating a conflict that the company is then helpless to prevent.
    The best advice analysts have for businesses seeking investment capital is to thoroughly analyze any deal before agreeing to it. Sometimes, the control that must be given up is worth much more than the money being offered.

    Who would be most interested in this article?

    A.An analyst working for an investment finn
    B.A member on the board of a successful company
    C.A representative of a large venture capital group

  • 第7题:

    资料:Gone are the days of “one-size-fits-all” employee benefits programs and here come newly designed and fully customized voluntary benefits. Voluntary benefits are on longer looked at as just a few “extras”, and are now becoming part of a comprehensive benefits package. Lot's take a look at how voluntary benefits have become more customized to meet the requirements of a more particular health care consumer.
    Voluntary Benefits Bolster Recruitment and Retention Efforts
    It gives employees a chance to select extras that the standard health care plan doesn't offer, which can be highly attractive to today's consumers Employers can also use voluntary benefits to round out their health care plans with a menu of items that cover everything from family vision care to pet insurance. This helps companies to address the specific heath and financial needs of candidates, to help the stretch their future paychecks even further.
    The Advantages of Offering Voluntary Employee Benefits
    In terms of being adaptable to the needs of employees, there are very few benefits that are like voluntary plans. Voluntary plans cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover. For example, a health care plan may require dental services for minors, but not for adults. The voluntary dental program can cover things like routine cleanings and other preventative measures that help support good oral health.

    Customizing Voluntary Benefit Plans
    There are several areas where voluntary benefit plans exceed the customization options of other types of wellness and financial benefits. This is a continual trend that we will see more of. Financial wellness benefits can include budgeting software, company matched savings plans, employee purchase programs, discount cards, credit union access, and even short term financing to help employees who otherwise cannot get credit to purchase things they need. Some companies offer support for buying of leasing vehicles, pay off college loans, arrange for special discounts and deals on home rentals and purchases, and even provide access to tuition for college expenses.

    It can be inferred from the passage that, comparing with the traditional health benefits, voluntary plans______

    A.incur less cost by the company to offer benefit programs.
    B.cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover.
    C.help employees who are dealing with tough personal and career matters.
    D.encourage employees to stay with their companies for longer periods of time.

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】comparing with the traditional health benefits
    【主题句】第3自然段Voluntary plans cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover. 自愿计划覆盖了许多传统健康福利不能涵盖的缺口。
    【解析】本题的问题是“从文章中推断出,与传统健康福利相比,自愿计划______”。A选项“公司提供福利项目花费较少”,B选项“覆盖了许多传统健康福利不能涵盖的缺口”,C选项“对那些正在与个人和职业事务艰难博弈的员工有帮助”,D选项“鼓励员工为所属公司工作更长时间”。根据主题句可知,选项B正确。

    In 1897,in Germany,Felix Hoffmann also made a mixture with salicylic acid.He tried it himself first
    and then gave it to his father because his father was old and in a lot of pain.His father's pain went away,
    and the mixture did not hurt his stomach.
    Hoffmann worked for Bayer,a German company.He showed his new drug to his manager,who tested
    the drug and found that it worked well,Bayer decided to make the drug.They called it aspirin and put the
    Bayer name on every pill.
    Aspirin was an immediate success.Almost everyone has pain of some kind,so aspirin answered a true
    need.Aspirin was cheap,easy to take,and effective.It also lowered fevers.Aspirin was a wonder drug.
    At first,Bayer sold the drug through doctors,who then sold it to their patients.In 1915,the company
    started to sell aspirin in drugstores. In the United States, Bayer had a patent(专利权)on the drug. Other
    companies could make similar products and sell them in other countries,but only Bayer could make and sell
    aspirin in the United States.In time, Bayer could no longer own the name aspirin in the United States. Other
    companies could make it there,too. However,Bayer aspirin was the most well known,and for many years,
    it was the market leader.
    By the 1950s, new painkillers were on the market.Aspirin was no longer the only way to treat pain and
    reduce fever. Bayer and other companies looked for other drugs to make.However,in the 1970s they got a
    surprise.Doctors noticed that patients who were taking aspirin had fewer heart attacks than other people.A
    British researcher named John Vane found the reason aspirin helped to prevent heart attacks. In 1982,he
    won the Nobel Prize for his research.Doctors started to tell some of their patients to take aspirin every day to
    prevent heart attacks.It has made life better for the many people who take it.It has also made a lot of money
    for companies like Bayer that produce and sell it!

    What has happened to aspirin since new painkillers came on the market?
    A:Companies have stopped selling it.
    B:It has become the best-selling painkiller.
    C:Its new use has been discovered.
    D:Doctors have sold it to patients.

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段最后一句话可知,这位法国科学家没有生产他发现的这种止痛药是因为 太难制作了。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句话可知,Felix Hoffmann把自己制作的药给父亲因为他父亲年纪大 了且又遭受着病痛之苦。这可以推测为Felix Hoffmann发明止痛药的原因。故选B。
    由文章第三段第二句话可知,Felix Hoffmann把药带给公司主管,检测后发现药物的止 痛效果很好,所以公司才决定生产这种药。故选C。
    由文章倒数第二段第三句话可知,虽然其他公司可以制作类似药品并在其他国家销 售,但是只有Bayer公司可以在美国生产并销售阿司匹林。故选B。
    由文章最后一段第五句话可知,医生们注意到服用阿司匹林的病人要比未服用的病人 心脏病发作的几率少很多。阿司匹林的这种功效是在市场上出现其他止痛药后被发现的。故 选C。第5部分:补全短文

  • 第18题:

    资料:Gone are the days of “one-size-fits-all” employee benefits programs and here come newly designed and fully customized voluntary benefits. Voluntary benefits are on longer looked at as just a few “extras”, and are now becoming part of a comprehensive benefits package. Lot's take a look at how voluntary benefits have become more customized to meet the requirements of a more particular health care consumer.
    Voluntary Benefits Bolster Recruitment and Retention Efforts
    It gives employees a chance to select extras that the standard health care plan doesn't offer, which can be highly attractive to today's consumers Employers can also use voluntary benefits to round out their health care plans with a menu of items that cover everything from family vision care to pet insurance. This helps companies to address the specific heath and financial needs of candidates, to help the stretch their future paychecks even further.
    The Advantages of Offering Voluntary Employee Benefits
    In terms of being adaptable to the needs of employees, there are very few benefits that are like voluntary plans. Voluntary plans cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover. For example, a health care plan may require dental services for minors, but not for adults. The voluntary dental program can cover things like routine cleanings and other preventative measures that help support good oral health.

    Customizing Voluntary Benefit Plans
    There are several areas where voluntary benefit plans exceed the customization options of other types of wellness and financial benefits. This is a continual trend that we will see more of. Financial wellness benefits can include budgeting software, company matched savings plans, employee purchase programs, discount cards, credit union access, and even short term financing to help employees who otherwise cannot get credit to purchase things they need. Some companies offer support for buying of leasing vehicles, pay off college loans, arrange for special discounts and deals on home rentals and purchases, and even provide access to tuition for college expenses.

    According to the passage, which is probably NOT included in the financial wellness benefits?

    A.Long term financing to help employees.
    B.Employee purchase programs and discount cards.
    C.Pay off college loans.
    D.Budgeting software and company matched savings plans.

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】NOT included;financial wellness benefits
    【主题句】第4自然段Financial wellness benefits can include budgeting software, company matched savings plans, employee purchase programs, discount cards, credit union access, and even short term financing to help employees who otherwise cannot get credit to purchase things they need. Some companies offer support for buying of leasing vehicles, pay off college loans, arrange for special discounts and deals on home rentals and purchases, and even provide access to tuition for college expenses.财政健康福利可以包括预算软件、公司匹配储蓄计划、员工购买项目、折扣卡、储蓄互助途径,甚至是帮助信用不足、不能贷款购买所需商品的员工的短期融资。一些公司提供支持帮助购买或租赁汽车、还清助学贷款、协调特殊折扣和处理租赁及购买房屋,甚至帮助联系解决大学学费的途径。
    【解析】本题的问题是“根据文章,下列哪一项很可能不包括在财政健康福利中?”。A选项“帮助员工的长期融资”,B选项“员工购买项目和折扣卡”,C选项“还清助学贷款”,D选项“预算软件和公司匹配储蓄计划”。根据主题句可知,提供的是短期融资,而不是长期。

    Brotherly Love

    Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a centuly.
    Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad
    Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins
    in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.
    Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sports but complained that they
    could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,"You cannot play sports wearing shoes
    that you'd walk around town with."So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of
    athletic shoes with spikes(钉),produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table.
    On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many
    years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and
    1932 Olympic Games.
    But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have sug-
    gested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nick-
    name was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.
    Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company,too.At first he wanted to
    call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat
    has hardly changed since.

    After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies
    have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,
    though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written。
    song called"My Adidas"and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.
    The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened,over sixty years
    ago,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to
    each other.

    The brothers, decided to start their separate companies after argument.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第五、六段讲到,1948年两兄弟吵架之后分别成立了公司:阿迪达斯和彪马。由此可知,阿迪达斯和彪马是在19世纪中期开始生产鞋的。
    由文章第三段第一句话可知,Adolph和Rudalph的父亲是一个鞋匠。
    文章最后一段提到自两兄弟吵架后的60年里,他们所在的城镇就分成了两部分,直到…现在一些阿迪达斯的员工和彪马的员工都还不说话。由此可知,两兄弟是在家乡做鞋的。
    根据文章第五段第二句话“but family members have suggested that thea堪ument Was aboutmoney or women"可知,两兄弟吵架不是为了鞋。
    由文章第五、六段可知,两兄弟各自开了公司。
    文章中没有提到耐克这一运动品牌的情况。
    从文章最后一段可知,人们并没有忘记两兄弟的吵架。

    Q7: Do you think it will become increasingly common for companies to relocate some activities to other countries? (Why?/Why not?)

    正确答案:
    A: With globalization bringing us more opportunities and challenges, I think it will be increasingly common for companies to relocate some activities to other countries. Before the company begins its globalization, it has to consider which product lines to begin with, and where to get the highest profit margin.
    B: I don’t think it will become increasingly common for the Chinese firms to relocate some activities to other countries in the near future, because the Chinese firms still have a long way to go to globalization. Surely, we should know that globalization is less than meets the eye.

    单选题
    In some child-centered families, the children and their possessions take over most of the house, and the younger ones often make _____ demands upon their parents.
    A

    exceeding

    B

    extensive

    C

    exclusive

    D

    excessive


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    句意:在一些以孩子为中心的家庭里,孩子和他们的东西占据了房屋的大部分空间,而且年龄稍小一点的孩子还常常对父母提出过多的要求。excessive过分的,过多的,可以用来修饰demands,通过分析句子可判断,在这个家中,年龄小点的孩子会对父母提出“过多的”要求。因此D为正确答案。exceeding极度的,非常的,表示程度,一般不用于修饰demands。extensive广阔的,广泛的,指范围大,也不能用来形容demands。exclusive排他的,惟一的。
