新编商务英语答案一、阅读理解（每小题 2 分，共 20 分）Passage 1For years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the true. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason.1. Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons EXCEPT that ____. [单选题] *A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trainsB. oil is expensive today(正确答案)C. trains are slowD. railways lose money1.

Not the End, But the Beginning(正确答案)Passage 2The world’s population continues to grow. There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in a further 75 years. Experts have long been concerned about such a growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, school and health care for all these people?A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations.Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population grow.China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about half since 1970. Each Chinese family is now urged to have no more than one child. And the hope is to reach a zero population growth with the total number of births equaling the total number of deaths by the year 2000.Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who areworking could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.6. The world’s population could reach ____________. [单选题] *A. 6 billion in 75 yearsB. 11 billion in 2075(正确答案)C. 11 billion by the end of this centuryD. 600 million in 15 years7. Which of the following is true? [单选题] *A.

One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle（小隔间）offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip（筹码）when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.1. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should _____.A. demonstrate his capabilityB. give his boss a good impressionC. ask for as much money as he canD. ask for the salary he hopes to get2. What can be inferred from Beth's story?A. Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.B. If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.C. People should not be content with what they have got.D. People should be careful when negotiating for a job.3. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. unfairness exists in salary increasesB. most people are overworked and underpaidC. one should avoid overstating one's performanceD. most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises4. To get a pay raise, a person should______.A. advertise himself on the job marketB. persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC. try to get inside information about the organizationD. do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions5. To be successful in negotiations, one must_____.A. meet his boss at the appropriate timeB. arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC. be good at influencing the outcome of the interactionD. be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikesPassage TwoAs is known to all, the organization and management of wages and salaries are very complicated. Generally speaking, the Account Department is responsible for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay. If a firm wants to adopt a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a method of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be successful, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Unions and employers.In job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, generally in “points”, which are added together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their ability to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without reference to an evaluation system based on points.In attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should compare the value of each job with those in the job market. It should also consider economic factors such as the cost of living and the labor supply.It is necessary that payment for a job should vary with any distinctions in the way that job isperformed. Where it is simple to measure the work done, as in the work done with the hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen; for indirect workers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payments are employed.6. If a company wants its new pay structure to be successful, it is necessary to _______.A. give the workers extra pay to encourage themB. share the same opinion between the Trade Union and the employersC. consult some problems associated with payD. adopt a special way to evaluate the performance of its employees7. The methods of additional payments are adopted for indirect workers because __________.A. they don't have a higher payB. the firm hasn't enough fundC. the measurement of their work is very difficultD. their work is less important than that of other workers8. What should a firm consider in designing a new pay system?A. The value of each job alone.B. The method of calculating the pay.C. The requirements of each job.D. The labor supply and the cost of living.9. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. only the Accounts Department is involved in the management of salariesB. different job performances should be given different paymentsC. an evaluation system based on points is usually used to measure management workD. evaluating management work makes no difference from other work10. The main purpose of this passage is to _______.A. explain how the performance of a job can be measured in pointsB. describe the responsibilities of various departmentsC. tell readers how a firm can succeed in adopting a new pay systemD. tell readers how difficult the management work isII Mark the following statements true (T) or false (F) . (3’×10)Passage OneThe object of market research is to “mange” sales: first to make possible, the n to make them practicable, and, finally, to ensure they are profitable.Many people make fun of market research. To begin with, it often seems to reveal the obvious, such as the case where a bakery chain spent 5,000 pounds discovering that people prefer fresh to stale bread. At other times, it comes up with information which is probably not true. On one occasion, the British Market Research Bureau discovered that one in five rugby players was female. Such investigations can, meanwhile, be very expensive; it is not unusual for an enquiryto cost tens of thousands of pounds.How is market research done? Why is it often unreliable and expensive?At the beginning, any piece of market research must be carefully planned. The first stage is to define the problem. For example, is it the customer who is not buying, or the shopkeeper? Are low sales used by a firm’s inefficiency rather than by faulty prod uct design? At this point, it is important to get as many views as possible, and to examine all sales records thoroughly. Simply going through all the paperwork at this stage could trace（追踪;查出）the source of the problem.After this has been done—and assuming that the source of the problem has not been revealed—the organization can move to “external” research: looking at various materials published by government bodies, trade associations and so on, to see what these reveal about consumer habits and trends.However, most people associate the term “market research”with survey（调查）work, and this is where the major expenses lie. Why is this kind of research so time consuming and expensive? Basically, because it involves several stages, each of which can take quite a while. The first stage is to decide on a sample, since it is obviously not practicable to survey all possible consumers of a particular product or service. This is the business of statisticians (统计学家). There are a number of different kinds of sample: random, area, quota.Following this, a questionnaire (调查表) must be devised and there are many problems in making sure that this is clear and that the questions are likely to elicit (引出) helpful responses. Before the questionnaire is given to all the sample, it tried out on a small group. This is called a “pilot” survey. The responses are used to revise the questionnaire.( ) 1. Market research aims to bring about and promote sales.( ) 2. The discovery made by the British Market Research Bureau is trust-worthy.( ) 3. Market research is carried out in the form of survey work only.( ) 4. The questions in questionnaires should be so designed as to elicit expected responses. ( ) 5. Enquiring sample customers is the last stage in market research.Passage TwoIf sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central-usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is as lower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.( )6. The management of human resources in American companies sees the gaining of skills as their employees' own business.( ) 7. The head of human-resource management in an American firm is directly under the chief financial executives in the firms.( ) 8. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to workers who lack basic background skills( ) 9. According to the passages, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is the rational composition of professional and managerial employees( ) 10. According to the passage, the human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity.III Answer the Questions and Translate Sentences. （4’×10）Steps in Entering Business in China1 (6) Foreign manufacturing business in China falls into one of the three categories: foreign equity joint ventures, foreign cooperative joints ventures, and solely owned foreign investment enterprises. To these foreign investments is added direct investment in bonds or shares. Selling is done through a joint venture partner whose business license allows sales within China. Sourcing in China involves a contract agreement with a Chinese partner in order to guarantee quality control and product availability.2 Direct investment in China may be supplying equity for joint venture projects, buying stocks in a joint stock limited company, and buying bonds that are floated for large infrastructure projects, for example. The rate of return on bond investment can be between 15 percent and 17 percent for a 15-year period; however, the investment is not returned.3 The first step in entering China for business is to identify one’s own company’s needs.China is not the right environment for every kind of foreign business. Foreign companies also need to identify goals: (1) to sell to China; (2) to buy from China; (3) to manufacture in China for export only; (4) to manufacture for domestic markets.4 The next step, if the goal is buying, selling, or forming a joint venture, is to identify a partner. The choice of a partner is extremely important and can be accomplished in several ways. Chinese consulates and embassies can offer information about potential partners. Consulting firms in China and abroad can also identify potential partners. Chinese government commissions that approve foreign investment, such as the Shanghai Foreign Investment Commission, can provide lists of partners. Delegates from China may travel to a for eign firm’s head office and initiate talks about partnership.5 (7) The third step is to find out about these potential partners, usually by having one’s own representatives meet with the Chinese in China. Good research is important. Key factors are the Chinese company’s experience with foreign joint ventures and capability in the business. Foreign firms do not usually have more than one partner for each project.6 The fourth step involves three major documents. The first is a Letter of Intent that establishes the agreement reached between partners to work together to accomplish the goals of both sides in this partnership. This is recommended for the linkage between foreign buyers from China with an import-export agent that will oversee the buying, as well as for joint venture partners for marketing and manufacturing. When the partners plan a joint venture company they will next have Articles of Association or a Charter drawn up, detailing how the new company entity will be structured. This leads to a joint venture contract. It may have appendices that specify other specific contract agreements, such as intellectual property rights, patent rights, and export numbers. The documentation is often prepared for foreign companies by foreign law firms operating in China.7 The fifth step in a joint venture is a feasibility study. This document, approximately 20 pages long, follows a specific format and is really a joint justification study, signed by both partners. The feasibility study must be performed by a Chinese-approved organization, usuallya consulting firm in China. In some cases, an environmental impact study is part of this step.8 The final step is approval resulting in the business license. Businesses must operate strictly within the scope specified in the business license. It is renewed every year.9 Within each industry there are specific requirements for the business license as well. Of course, once authority is given for the joint venture to exist, the company has to implement the approvals. This usually results in further negotiations between partners.10 Chinese law. China’s legal system is slowly beginning to develop, but is still in the early stages. (8) The new Company Law, effective July 1, 1994, is the first of its kind since the establ ishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Previously, foreign investors had to rely on vague rules cited by officials and on hearsay from other foreign firms’ experiences, now they can base their decisions on this law, adopted at the Fifth Session of the Standing Committee of the 8th National People’s Congress. The Company Law governs all limited liability and joint stock companies, including those with foreign investment.11 Accounting. Accounting practices are not universal in China; the kind of organization—equity joint venture, cooperative joint venture or solely owned foreign investment enterprise—will determine how accounts are kept. Foreign-investment manufacturing firms are not subject to import duty if their products are exported. Duty-free havens exist to encourage manufacture-for-export by foreign-investment enterprises.12 Marketing. Marketing inside China is very difficult for foreign firms unless they are joint venture partners of Chinese firms already involved in domestic marketing. Distribution channels usually coincide with the governmental administrative regions. Transportation and telecommunication infrastructures limit development also. Nevertheless, the market is so enormous that even one region is enough to sustain a business. Consumer demand for commodities and services is great. (9) Manufacturers can sell with very little promotion, but at the same time name recognition is very important for the appeal to status that is a characteristic of Chinese culture. Billboard advertising is effective, along with television commercials.13 Financing. (10) Financing of foreign business in China may take several forms. Wholly foreign investment enterprises usually export to a subsidiary or trading company in another country. The total investment in joint ventures is registered capital (equity) plus circulating funds (debt). Debt-equity ratios are published and conform to levels set by China. The equity often comes from the foreign partner and working capital from the Bank of China. In large projects, companies can go public. Some enterprises in China float bonds; in 1993 convertible bonds appeared, convertible into common shares. One successful example is the Shanghai Pinkerton Float Glass Plant.14 Equity joint venture operations allow either partner to bring anything into China without duty. Labor is not equity; when the contract is being negotiated, each side inflates its contribution. In a cooperative joint venture, only things used specifically for production are duty free.A. Answer the following questions according to your understanding of the passage:1. Which of the following is true concerning a foreign manufacturing business in China?A. A contact agreement with a Chinese partner is needed.B. Quality control and product availability matter a lot to its success.C. Selling can be done freely both in China and in other countries.D. Both A and B.2. From Para. 4, we know ________.A. Chinese consulates and embassies can appoint a partner for a foreign company.B. Only consulting firms in China have the right to help find a partner.C. The Chinese government grants rights only to the Shanghai Foreign Investment Commission to approve foreign investment in China.D. Delegates from China may stay home or go abroad to hold talks about partnership.3. Three major documents involved in the fourth step are _____.A. a Letter of Intent, Articles of Association and a CharterB. a Letter of Intent, a Charter and a contractC. Articles of Association, a Charter and a contractD. documents of intellectual property rights, patent rights and export numbers4. What does the author mainly discuss in Para.13?A. Shanghai Pinkerton Float Glass Plant.B. Wholly foreign investment enterprises usually export to a subsidiary or trading company in another country.C. Some enterprises in China float bonds.D. Financing of foreign business in China may take different forms.5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Six steps are necessary in entering business in China.B. Foreign investment manufacturing firms are free of import duty if their products are exported.C. Marketing in China will be easier for foreign firms if they are joint venture partners of Chinese firms already involved in domestic marketing.D. Accounting practices for equity joint venture and cooperative joint venture are the same. B. Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese (6) (7) (8) (9) (10).。

商务英语(BEC)高级阅读真题及答案
PART ONEQuestions 1 - 8· Look at the sentences below and at five passages taken from a book about famous management thinkers on the opposite page.· Which passage does each sentence refer to?· For each sentence 1 - 8, mark one letter A1 B, C, D or E on your Answer Sheet.· You will need to use some of these letters more than once.Example:He has developed his own company to promote his work.0 A B C D E1 Others in his field think very highly of him.2 His ideas have spread beyond the business world.3 He felt that people should be able to enjoy their work.4 His ideas are more complex than they seem.5 He did a variety of interesting things before writing his books.6 His most successful book was written with a colleague.7 He is particularly skilled at forecasting important developments.8 Contact with the military was an early influence on his thinking.A John AdairAdair is the pioneering British thinker in the theory of leadership. He was the first person in the UK to hold a professorship in Business Leadership and has published a series of influential books on the subject.Despite his quiet appearance, Adair has had a colourful life, serving in a Bedouin regiment and working on an Arctic fishing boat! His initial interest in leadership came from his army experience and he used to lecture at the highly prestigious academy where British army offices are trained. He now works as an international consultant.B Edward de BonoDe Bono is unusual among major gurus for two reasons: firstly, he was born not in one of the great industrial nations but on the tiny island of Malta. Secondly, his ideas have reached a wider audience than just managers, so that his books have become essential rending in many different disciplines.Most of de Bono s work has been concerned with the way human beings can train themselves to think more creatively. This apparently simple idea has resulted in37 books and a highly successful career as a lecturer and consultant.C Peter DruckerProbably no other single thinker has done as much as Drucker to establish management as a serious area of study. Certainly, his fellow management thinkers consider him one of the founding fathers of the discipline, and his books and articles are quoted more than those of any other management writer.His first book was published as far back as 1939, yet he is still writing and teaching. His greatest distinction has been his ability to predict coming trendsin business and economics. As a result, his ideas are treated with the greatest respect and interest.D Frederick HerzbergAlthough relatively few contemporary management students will have read his books, Herzberg s name is instantly recognisable to anyone who has studied industrial organisations. This is because the American psychologist was responsible for introducing the concept of motivation into management thinking.As a young man, Herzberg became deeply interested in mental illness and the human need for mental and emotional satisfaction. This led him to criticise the approach of many companies to job design, and to argue for the need for job enrichment to stimulate employees efforts.E Tom PetersThe American s reputation was created in the I 980s by the spectacular success of one book, In Search of Excellence, co-written with Robert Waterman. The two were working together as management consultants and no-one expected their first (and only) book to end up selling 5 million copies worldwide!Although his ideas have been criticised, Peters popularity as a speaker and writer has continued to grow. So much so that Peters has created his own business to market books, videos and consultancy based on his work.PART TWOQuestions 9 - 14· Read this t ext from an article about health clubs.· Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill in each of the gaps.· For each gap 9 - 14, mark one letter A - H on your Answer Sheet.· Do not use any letter more than once.· There is an exam ple at the beginning (0).Travel stress brings boom to health clubsA rapid growth in business travel has provided a lucrative spin-off for British health clubs as companies try to prevent hard-working executives from suffering travel-related stress.Health clubs are fully booked throughout the coming months all around the country and many are planning to expand their facilities.0 H According to Gillie Turner, group marketing manager for the Champneys group of health clubs, during the last recession executives lost many of their extra benefits as companies cut back. . 9 She says that large companies also seem to have decided that it is no good sending someone to a country like Spain as a reward for doing a good job, because they will simply eat too much and flop onto a beach. . 10Champneys, the company acknowledged as the market leader in this field, is now planning to introduce a special "Profiting from Stress" course, which will run over three days. . 11 Jonathon Stapleton, general managerof Champneys, says that modern corporate life being what it is, most business travellers find that they are having to do the work which - even a year ago - was done by two. 12To meet this new demand, other health clubs are also thinking of introducing similar schemes. Clare Brandish, the sales and marketing director of another health club, has noticed a marked change in the clientele at her club. . 13Businesses of all kinds are anxious to reduce absenteeism. . 14 Much of the problem is caused by long periods away from home, irregular hours, business entertaining and jet lag.According to the Guild of Business Travel Agents, sales of business-class airline tickets have risen by 12% in the past year, hotel bookings have gone up by 36% and car hire has risen by 24%. Dave Reynolds, the GBTA chief executive, says that the trouble is that the same number of people are being asked to travel more often. He comments that it is nowonder they need to take a break in a health club.A It has been calculated that about 40 million working days are lost each year in Britain because of stress, ten times as many as are lost 10 industrial disputes.B This has involved a considerable rise in the number of business bookings, whereas previously most clients came as private individuals.C Now they are being restored, as industry realises that the health of its executives is vital.D But who will benefit most from these developments?E Because of the pressures this imposes, many companies have now decided that it is worthwhile paying for their senior executives to take a proper break and get advice on how to combat stress.F Executives taking part in it will be given massages and health treatments, workouts and a range of talks on how to deal with stress, especially when travelling.G So what s the reason for this now trend?PART THREEQuestions 15 - 20· Read the following article on recruiting and managing staff and the questions on the opposite page.· Each question has four suggested an swers or ways of finishing the sentence, A, B, C and D.· Mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet, for the answer you choose.As a manager in the service industry sector, I've looked at hundredsof CVs in my time. They are not necessarily the bland documents some bosses might think they are! They are full of little pointers towards individuals personalities and suitability for the job. The first thing I always look at is an applicant s employment record. I check for continuity and stability. If somebody has a long list of previous jobs, all of varying length, alarm bells start ringing. Rather than an irregular route from job to job, what I hope to see is stable career progression. What does their career path look like - is it all steps forward, or are there a lot of sideways moves? And I am always pleased to find a family person with children, because in my experience they tend to be responsible and reliable.I never rely on CVs alone. We get applicants to fill in one of our own application forms. We ask why they've applied, what their aspirations and personal goals are, and also about their interests and hobbies and any clubs they belong to. That gives you a useful insight into their personality and lifestyle. The application form also enables us to test how much people have actually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.It s always worth looking at CVs and designing application forms with great care. Taking on employees might be rewarding, but it is also a big investment for any business. Mistakes in choosing staff can cost companies dear, so it makes sense to spend time ensuring you get the right person.In the service sector, one of the aims of companies is to maintain and improve customer service, and this is achieved partly through low staff turnover. You need to take on people who understand that, and will want to stay. That s why, when you've taken staff on, the next thing is getting the best out of them.My management style comes from the days when I took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could turn into a profitable company. The first thing is to treat others as you d like to be treated yourself. As soon as I took over the business, I talked to everybody individually, and looked for ways to make sure their particular skills benefited the company.I didn't have much experience then of managing people, but above all I always tried to be fair and honest with everyone. As a result, I think the staff knew that and accepted my decisions, even if they didn't agree with them all. Also, bosses must be able to communicate. You also need to create team spirit, and build on the strength of the team. I explained my plans for the company to all the staff, and let them all know what I needed from them. The lorry drivers responded brilliantly, and were thekey to turning the business round. They understood that we had to develop a professional reputation, and from then on the days of poor quality deliveries were over.Lastly, I am a great believer in profit-sharing. It takes a team to make a company work, so profits should be shared by all. Job satisfaction is important, but it doesn't pay the rent. Shared profit and bonuses help to strengthen team spirit by giving everyone a common goal that they work towards together.15 What fact does the writer hope to learn from applicants CVs?A that they have experience of many different jobsB that their careers have developed steadilyC the opinion their employers had of themD whether they are married or single16 The writer says the application form is useful because itA reveals something of the applicant s character.B gives information about the applicant s family.C explains what skills the applicant has for the job.D shows how much the applicant wants to earn.17 According to the writer, why are CVs and application forms so important?A Interviewing people is an expensive process.B They indicate whether applicants really want the job.C They indicate whether applicants are efficient or not.D Employing the wrong people can be disastrous.18 One reason why the writer was successful in her first business was thatA she was used to dealing with people.B she was open with the staff.C the business was already doing well when she started.D the staff agreed with all her decisions.19 The writer believes profit-sharing is a good idea becauseA it encourages a competitive spirit.B everyone earns the same salary.C everyone shares the same aim.D it creates job satisfaction.20 Which would make the best title for this text?A Profit-sharing as motivationB How I turned a business roundC People - the key to business successD The importance of a well-presented CVPART FOURQuestions 21 - 30· Read the article below about a method of learning languages for business people.· Choose the best word from the opposite page to fill each gap.· For each question 21 - 30 mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet.· There is an example at the beginning (0).Language learning for the busy executiveIf you've ever been told by your boss to improve your knowledge of a foreign language you'll know that ……(0)…… doesn't come quickly.

Passage 1
中国在世界贸易组织里的成员身分，经济效能的巨大收益创造了潜能。
确实，这些收益可能比那些大量发表的预测更大，因为那些研究没有充分注意到更多的外国竞争对国内公司可能出现的效果。
无疑，某些经济部门会有许多工作岗位将被撤销。
但是，随着中国得益于逐步撤销的限制世界性的服装贸易的安排，就业前景将会被看好，正如台湾、墨西哥、欧盟和其他市场分阶段中止和消除与WTO不一致的贸易壁垒一样，这些壁垒对中国的多种货物非常不利。
Passage 2
一个国家的进出口贸易差额极大地影响着国际收支差额。
国际收支差额指的是向该国流入和从该国流出的货币量之间的差异。
为进口和出口所作的支付（进出口贸易差额）构成了国际收支差额的主要部分。

美国多少年来一直是顺差（货币流入超过货币流出），但是，最近发生了逆差（货币流出超过货币流入）。
