A Partnerships On the whole, this is not a popular form of business organization, but it is often used by people in the professions, like doctors, dentists or lawyers, to expand their business. Greater efficiency is possible because people in this sort of association can spend their time doing what they are best at. If one person is sick, then the remaining partner(s) can carry on the work. The main disadvantage is that even with this form of ownership, the amount of money available to the business may be limited. If people quarrel or disagree over decision making there can be problems and serious delays. B Public (Plc) Companies These are the largest businesses in the private sector. There is no limit to the number of people holding shares in it and many of the larger companies have their shares listed on the stock exchange. The advantage of big businesses like this is that they find it easier to raise money as banks consider them a 'good risk'. There are strict laws governing the setting-up of this kind of business and each year the company has to publish its accounts. The larger such businesses grow, the more difficult it is to control them. Workers in such businesses may feel that management doesn't understand their problems. C Private (Ltd) Companies Such businesses are net allowed to sell shares to the public. They must consist of at least two members, but there is no upper limit to the numbers who own the company. The larger size makes it possible for such companies to borrow more money from the banks or from issuing additional shares to its members. The advantage is that such a business is able to offer its members limited liability (responsibility) for debts and losses. Many companies of this type exist in England, Europe and the U. S. D Sole Proprietorships Sole proprietorships, the most common business form, consist of one person doing business with no legal charter. While they offer the owner great freedom and are easy to form, they also present grave financial risks. General partnerships are merely proprietorships with multiple ewers. 1、 There is no limit to the number of people holding shares in it. 2、 The company can list on the stock exchange and the share can be sold to the public. 3、 The company usually is organized by doctor and lawyer. 4、 The shares of the company are not allowed to be sold to the public 5、 The company has to publish its accounts each year. 6、 The members of the company bear limited liability for debts and losses. 7、 In this form, people can spend their time in doing what they are best at. PART TWO ?Read the article about corporation merger. ?Choose the best sentence to fill each of the blanks. ?For each blank 8—12 mark one letter (A—G. on your Answer Sheet. ?Do not use any letter more than once. ?There is an example at the beginning Corporation Merger The most common kind of consolidation today is the merger. A merger occurs when two or more companies get together to from one company With the deregulation of natural gas, the nation's 20 interstate pipeline companies became fearful of cutthroat competition. Some felt that they could increase their efficiency and improve their market flexibility by merging. In 1985 Internorth of Omaha paid $ 2, 3 billion for Houston Natural Gas Corporation, 8 . The system connected markets from coast to coast and raised sales to $10 billion. On occasion, mergers have occurred between smaller companies in an industry dominated by a few giant firms. These smaller companies claim that 9 . They maintain that such action increases competition instead of reducing it. The Antitrust Division of the Justice Department has not always agreed with them. Four major waves of mergers have taken place in this country. The first started in 1887, just prior to the pas sage of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and ended in 1904. It involved such giants as United States Steel and Standard Oil trying to create monopolies in their industries. From the end of World War I until the 1930s, large firms swallowed smaller firms to create oligopolies. The monopoly has no chance and the oligopoly little chance of succeeding today under present antitrust policy. The third major merger movement began in the 1960s, reached a peak in 1969, 10 . Many of the acquisitions involved giant firms in one industry buying up large companies in totally unrelated industries. Such mergers are called conglomerate mergers. A classic example is Mobil Oil Corporation's purchase of the huge retail chain Montgomery Ward & Company. Mergers in the last ten years were in the thousands. More important is the value of the transactions, which has risen sharply. The number of mergers and acquisitions apply 11 . The petroleum industry had mergers and acquisitions valued at closed to $80 billion between 1981 and 1984. Other industries 12 were banking and finance, insurance, mining and mineral, and processed foods. A thereby gaining control of the world's longest Pipeline B and then gradually declined C experiencing large takeovers D resulting in combinations of small firms E only to those valued at $100 million or more F when two or more companies get together to form one company G they need to merge to become more efficient and effective PART THREE ?Read the article below about "China Enters Cyberspace" and the questions. ?For each question 13,18, mark one letter (A, B, C orD. on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose. China Enters Cyberspace Although research into the Internet began in the 1980's in China, it was not until the mid 90's that the country cautiously joined the information highway. These days however, it seems that China is ready to jump onto the "Net" with both feet. Personal Computers (PCs) are the hottest selling item on the market in major Chinese cities. At night, hundreds of Chinese who don't own a PC crowd into the now familiar Internet Cafes, where Net time costs US $3.60 an hour. Web sites from around the world can be flashing on the screens of most high-tech companies, and many believe the Net is the perfect vehicle stto transport China into the through the 21 century. Even though chinese government officials are somewhat concerned about the Western content on the Internet, it is clear they want to make use of what the superhighway has to offer. The Net is so appealing in improvement-obsessed China that usage is growing more than 40% a year. "It's a daily necessity," says a Beijing Foreign Studies University student. "I plan to get online soon. I feel like I miss a lot of things and I don't want to lag behind." It seems everywhere you go the air is buzzing with talk of how to best use this modern technology. Possibilities The country has 350 million children to educate what better vehicle than interactive televisions. The Finance Ministry needs to establish bank and savings accounts for China's 284 million worker—what more effective solution than smart cards? Agricultural planners dream of more productive Chinese farms how easier to send weather and agricultural information to 323 million farmers than over the Web? To tap these benefits, China has embarked on a series of nine "golden projects" that will require state-of-the art technology in everything from health-care to finance. By 2010 hundreds of millions of Chinese will be wired with a golden smart card, all part of health and financial network. This smart card or identification card, will contain vital statistics about each person, and will automatically take a proportion of that persons salary as government "golden tax" via a microchip. Bryan Nelson, Microsofts director in the region, says, "China is going to be the ultimate proof of all that the Internet can do. And the amazing thing is the Chinese seem to understand that better than some people in the West actually." The window is still small though—only 3,000,000 chinese have access to the Internet, vs. some 25 million in the U. S.—but it is opening quickly. Officials at China's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications say they hope to have 4 million Chinese connected by 2000. At the same time, access to the outside world from China—once tightly controlled over a narrow pipeline has quadrupled in 1998, the result of newly liberalized government regulations. As late as 1996, most Net traffic to and from China had to flow through a single 56 kilobit—some U.S. homes have more bandwidth than that. Now china has a pipeline a hundred times wider, and the company ATT has just been hired to make it even bigger. Will china really have 4 million citizens on line by 2000? "Try 20 million." says Internet Cafe owner Charles Zhang, who has watched the governement exceed growth targets in everything from telephones to agricultural output. The theory behind chinese leaders' enthusiasm is that technology and competitiveness are deeply linked. Obstacles There are plenty Of obstacles to overcome between now and 2010. but the two biggest-limited ownership of both personal computers and the telephones—are fading. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to growth of computers and the Net in China is that Western-style keyboards aren't set up to type chinese characters. The best system for doing so, the stoke-based input method editor, was devised in the 1960s and involves using complex three and four-key combinations to enter specific characters. Where Westerners can be thought to use a standard in hours, learning to type in Chinese can take months, worse, the Web, which is still largely in English, is inaccessible to the vast majority of chinese. 13、 Chinese government officials are worried about the ______ on the Internet.

CATSA Gia Andina de Triconos (CATSA., a Bolivian joint venture of the U. S. Dresser Industries and local investors, which had based its investment 19 an allocation under the metalworking program, closed its doors after 20 to penetrate the Andean market after more than two years in operation. The prospect of 21 access to the Andean market, plus protection provided by a 55 percent "ad valorem" common outer tariff on bits sourced from outside the bloc, made the sales outlook seem 22 . However, CATSA's "monopoly" position in Ancom proved specious. 23 the plant went on stream in 1974, the company was never able to export a single drill bit to the Andean market, and its local sales were 24 a state-owned petroleum company. This market was clearly 25 , since the operation had been based on exporting the bulk of the plant's 200-unit-per-month capacity to the Andean area. CATSA could not penetrate the Ancom market for several reasons: Although Ancom 26 a 55 percent common outer tariff on third-country imports, some Ancom countries had previously 27 LAFTA (Latin American Free Trade Association) tariff concessions, which take precedence over the Ancom tariffs. Ancom members simply did not 28 the spirit of the metalworking agreement. After the installation of the CATSA facility, plants producing tricorne bits 29 in Peru and Venezuela. Under the metalworking program, participating 30 were committed to prohibiting new foreign investment in allocations of other Ancom countries. But on the question of new investment by local industry, the obligation was only not to encourage it, with no requirement to prevent it. 31 Venezuela, it has no commitment to limit local production or to honour the outer tariff, because it was not yet a member of Ancom when the metalworking agreement was signed and was thus not a 32 to the pact. Also, according to Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador employed 33 obstacles to avoid applying the common outer tariff. The withdrawal of Chile from Ancom cost Bolivia a lucrative potential market, too. 19、 A. in B. to C. under D. on 20、 A. fail B. to fail C. failing D. succeeding 21、 A. no duty B. no-duty C. duty-bound D. duty-free 22、 A. good B. well C. bad D. badly 23、 A.

(grant LAFTA tariff concessions)是对的，而后admit sb( sth，是不对的。由于本句谓语动词不全，所以只能选D。 28、B 从语义上来看，只能填honour;honour的意思是“执行，承认……有效”。 29、C 从上下文的时态来看，这里只能用一般过去时;从语义上看，所填的词语要表达“建立”这个意思。 30、C 名词member在修饰governments时要用单数形式。从表达习惯及语义上看，member governments(各成员国政府)是对的。 31、B 介词短语in the case of的意思是“至于……”，“就……来说”。又如:Climate is especially important in the case of articles that are readily affected by moisture。对容易受潮的商品来说，气候因素特别重要。in case of的意思是“假使”，“以防”。例如:The wall was built in case floods。沿河筑了墙以防洪水。 32、A 签约的一方用party而不用member。如a party to the action(诉讼当事人)。又如:parties to a dispute(争论的各方)。 33、A D缺少介词of，因此是不正确的。在A，B，C中只有A修饰可数名词。a great number of=a great many PART FIVE 34、while 这儿的时间从句由when引导，主句不用再添while了。 35、with contact with，当…联系。因为没有宾语，故 with省去。 36、CORRECT 没有错误。37、one a week或one week 38、on Helpline advisors为负责在电话里解决问题的咨询师。 39、at to后跟不定式，at后接动名词。 40、in work around 为固定用法，意为围绕…工作。 41、for provide sb with sth，provide sth for sb(没有 provide for sth 42、do do用在动词前，一般表强调，而此没有强调。 43、CORRECT 没有错误。 44、CORRECT 没有错误。 45、CORRECT 没有错误。 WRITING 46、To: Head of Department From: Char Shui Date: 3 April, 2005 Subject: Diskflow pump I (have) read about the Diskflow pump in [name of source, e, g, the Pump Times].

There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the senator rightly complained of a store bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie. The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drug store and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavourably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position. When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from 1 dollar to 2.5 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used for any thing but stuffing in to the garbage can. 消费者之所以关心包装大小的变化，主要还是因为商品单价也会随之增长。从“The manufacturer who increase the unit price of his prouduct by changing his package size to lower...”可知。 71、C 层出不穷的新包装就是想吸引消费者，巩固商品的市场地位。通过“... no one... comments... on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of pakage... uses for improving a product's market position.” 72、A 作者批评的就是那种欺骗消费者的dishonest packaging( 73、C 作者就是认Senaor Hart在吃燕麦时发现商家搞的虚假包装而引出活题的。 74、A 这属于常识，B，C显然站不住脚。 75、B 这是单纯考察记忆重现力的 试题 中考模拟试题doc幼小衔接 数学试题 下载云南高中历年会考数学试题下载N4真题下载党史题库下载 。fancy jar，形状奇特的罐子。 76、B 考察目的的与上题相同。答案是最后一句:“... when an average family pays about 200 dollars a years...”。 77、C 是讲商品便换包装是商家促销。巩固商品市场地位的策略。 SPEAKING PART ONE 78、I: A, where do you come from? A: I come from Hangzhou. I: Can you tell me something about your hometown, A? A: Well, first of all, I was born in the city, but moved to the outskirts of bown when I was small. Hanzhou is a fairly large city a pretty important economic centre actually. It has a population of 3 million. It's pretty flat, and is situated right on a large lake. I: What do you think is the most problem in China, B? B: I guess it is the overpopulation. Although China has been carrying out a strict family-planning policy with one family having only one child, the population is already over 1.2 billion and is still growing. It causes not only the shortage of food and shelter supply but also more serious ones such as unemployment, crimes, the lack of education and so on. I: Are you working or still studying'! How do you feel it? B: I work as teacher in a high school. In my work, I learned how to communicate with my associates, interpersonal relations can be essential to a prosective teacher.

I'd like you to choose one of the topics and give a short presentation on it for about a minute. You will have about a minute to prepare forthis and you can make notes if you wish while you prepare. After you have finished your talk, your partner will ask you a question. ?All right? Here are your topics. [Interlocutor hands each candidate a different topic card, and some paper and a pencil for notes] Interlocutor: ?Choose one of the topics to talk about, You can make notes. [1 minute's preparation time. both candidates pre pare their talks at the same time, separately. Interlocutor ?All right now. Candidate Two, which topic have you chosen, A, B or C? Would you like to talk about what you think is important when being involved in a price war? [Candidate Two talks] To make a living by doing business means you'll have to compromise on many occasions. When your company is involved in a price war, which is inevitable, it seems to be your only choice to sacrifice benefit in the short term for survival. A stubborn guy, who refuses to cut his price would put the whole business at risk. Ensuring the firm is solid should be your first priority. Also, you can never offend the customers because they're our providers. On the contrary, you should try your best to please them. You're got to remember that customers are always right. Dare you say no to them, your oportunity is gone? They would go immediately to someone who caters to their demands and you're left out there in the cold. Interlocutor: ?Thank you. Now, Candidate One, please ask Candidate Two your question about his/her talk. [Candidate One asks question.] Apart from cutting price, what other methods can be used in a price war? Candidate Two: Well, there are many alternatives, for example, after—sales service. The biggest factor you can rely on is the quality of products. Interlocutor: ?Thank you. All right. Now, Candidate One, which topic have you chosen, A, B or C? Would you like tO talk about what you think is important when preparing for a business trip abroad? [Candidate One talks] ?A business trip abroad is by no means an easy event, so there is every reason to be well prepared for it. Firstly, the objectives of the trip must be identified. You may draft a schedule, and an itinerary for the trip, for example. Then, make sure that you have carried all the materials, documents and even samples of your products along with you with out leaving anything important. Next, you many get in touch with the host who is expected to meet you, and let him or her know your agenda. Finally, you should book a room in the hotel in your destination, and reconfim your ticket, and reconfirm or change it according to your agenda. And there is still one thing that is the most important, that is, never lost contact with the headquarter. Interlocutor: ?Thank you. Thank you. Now, Candidate Two, please ask Candidate One your question about his/ her talk. [Candidate Two asks question.] What do you do for the journey? Candidate One: As for the journey, you'd better con tact the travel agency in a few days' advance, asking them to reserve a seat for you on the airline. Interlocutor: ?Thank you [Materials are collected.] PART THREE 80、Interlocutor: ?Now this part of the test you are going to discuss together. [Interlocutor points to the card showing the task while giving the instructions below.] Interlocutor; ?You have 30 seconds to read the task carefully, and then 3 minutes to discuss and decide about it together. You should give reasons for your decisions and opinions. You don't need to write anything. Is that clear? [Interlocutor places the card in front of the candidates.] Interlocutor: ?I'm just going to listen and then ask you to stop after 3 minutes. Please speak so that we can hear you. [Candidates have about 3 minutes to complete the task.] A: You know, the board is considering introducing a No-Smoking policy. B: Yes. It's bad news for smokers, especially those heavy smokers. Unfortunately, I'm just one of them. A: So you are against it. B: Well, personally, I do not want to see the No smoking policy. You non-smokers can not imagine what a cigarette means to a smoker when he is tired. It can make us refreshing and energetic a gain. A: That's its advantages for you smokers. If we consider the company as a whole, we may get to know the real advantages of introducing a Nosmoking policy. It means every member staff can breath clean air without pollution. You see, when you are smoking, you give harm to yourself as well as to other staff. B: I also know it's good for all of us in the long term. But it's expected that there will be objections from staff who are smokers. A: We can leave some rooms for smokers. They can smoke here if they want. B: That's good. [Materials are collected.] [the interlocutor asks one or more questions as appropriate, to extend the discussion.] If you leave some place for smokers, does it signify you do not really put a No smoking policy into practice? B: Maybe you are right to some extent. But I'm afraid we have to do so in order to have it introduced successfully.
