Fill each gap with the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Before you know how much you’re going to pay, you need to make a few decisions: Y ou have to know what you plan to 31 , where it’s going and how quickly it needs to get there. Standard domestic second-day delivery—from San Francisco to New Y ork, for example—typically runs between $7 to $9 for a letter 32 less than one pound. So-called “first overnight” services, which 33 delivery early the next morning, start at around $40 per item. Most services charge by the pound for large packages, and you’ll pay 34 for unscheduled courier pickups, irregularly shaped items and perishable or 35 products.International express delivery services can be 36 . Second-day 37 to major European and Canadian cities starts at about $22 to $25 in most cases, and goes up based on the w eight of the package and its destination. If you want to deliver an express letter to Tirana, Albania, for instance, you’ll pay about $65 to get it there in two days via FedEx or USPS.Can you save money using a particular shipping service? Sometimes, although most of the major services keep their prices comparable in order to 38 with one another, if you really want to save money, consider using a shipper’s second- or third-day service, which is always much less expensive than next-day delivery. Cheaper still is USPS Priority Mail, which usually (but not always) delivers within two or three days and charges as little as $3.95 for 39 weighing less than two pounds. If you’re moreconcerned about security than speed, you might want to use less expensive USPS services such as delivery 40 or certified mail.31. A. ship B. take C. send D. go32.

A. more cheaper B. much expensive C. more cheaper D. much more expensive37. A. distribution B. delivery C. sending D. tour38. A. compare B. complete C. fight D. compete39. A. boxes B. parcels C. services D. packages40. A. confirmation B. certification C. information D. concentration Section CDirections:Read the following passage and the statements that follow. Choose the best answer for each statement from the three choices marked A, B, and C, and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Somewhere in the world a new McDonald’s opens every 3 hours andNow they have further plans for our communityWhat’s wrong with the McDonald’s planning application?Why the big Mac is a big market for our community?McDonald’s (the $30 billion multinational fast-food chain) has lodged a planning application to build a “Drive-Thru”restaurant in our area. If allowed to go ahead, their proposal will bring significant and unwelcome changes to our community. While there are numerous reasons to object to McDonald’s in general, there are a number of specific issues relevant to this planning application.Traffic and SafetyWhile the government and local authorities are being encouraged to make decisions that reduce traffic levels and the dependence on car use, it is ironic that McDonald’s expansion plans revolve around “Drive-Thrus”.If their application is approved, we will experience a significant rise in traffic levels in our already busy area. The new traffic created will cause nuisance to existing traffic and increase the danger of accidents for pedestrians.Litter, Noise and SmellsWhile our area already suffers from noticeable litter and vandalism (故意破坏), the planned McDonald’s will only make things worse. The proposal includes very long opening hours (7 am-11 pm, 7 days a week), and will result in noise and disturbances at all hours for local residents. During the hot summer months, the smell from the kitchens, from waste storage and from litter discarded by customers may become offensive and attract vermin.Community and Local BusinessNeon lights, tacky signs and adverts will change the character of the area and may represent the start of an unwelcome trend in our locality. Existing local businesses will lose trade to multinationals that will drain the life-blood from our community. While McDonald’s claims to offer new job opportunities, the majority of the jobs will be low paid, non-skilled, part-time jobs with no guaranteed hours. As local businesses lose trade, people already employed may find themselves made redundant.McDonald’s must not be allowed to spoil our community!41. McDonald ’s has got the approval from the community and already built a “Drive-Thru ” restaurant in the area. A. True. B. False. C. Not mentioned.42. There will be more traffic in the area if McDonald ’s application of a “Drive-Thru ” restaurant isapproved. A. True.B. False.C. Not mentioned.43. McDonald ’s makes a plan to open the “Drive-Thru ” restaurant 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A. True. B. False. C. Not mentioned.44. McDonald ’s promises the community to offer new skilled job opportunities with high pay andguaranteed hours.A. True.B. False.C. Not mentioned.45. Because the “Drive-Thru ” restaurant will make local business lose trade and increase the number of unemployed people, the community has already gone on a strike to protest McDonald ’s new restaurant. A. True. B. False. C. Not mentioned. Section DDirections :Look at the tables and charts below. For each table or charts, there are four statementsdescribing it. Choose the best statement from the four choices marked A, B, C and D to match it. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center .46.A.

If a car runs more than 120, 000 miles, it is of no use any more.D. A car decreases by $2, 000 in value every year.47.

Choose the best answer for each statement or question fromthe four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throw the center .Passage OneThere are three basic methods by which companies can compete in foreign markets: exporting, licensing and other contractual agreements, and investment. Exporting is limited to physical goods. International freight forwarders, banks, and other specialists can assist companies wishing to export by handling many of the details regarding documentation and financing. Exporting is often the way a company initially becomes involved in international trade. Companies can gain valuable experience in international markets through exporting without being exposed to large capital losses.International licensing is another way for domestic companies to compete internationally. Under an international licensing agreement, domestic companies provide foreign companies with rights to some of their intangible assets, such as their patents, trade secrets, know -how, trademarks, or even their company name and logo. Domestic companies often provide some type of technical assistance to make sure thelicensed properties are used properly. Similar contractual agreements may include franchising, technical agreements, service or management contracts, and other variations.Licensing and other contractual agreements typically involve the transfer of technology or human skills.Characteristically there is no equity investment by the international company in such agreements.Licensing and other contractual agreements can offer several advantages over or alternatives to exporting. They can prevent such import barriers as tariffs and quotas, since only intangible assets and services are being exchanged. In some cases a country's currency may experience a prolonged devaluation, making exports no longer profitable. Licensing agreements can overcome some of the risks associated with such currency fluctuations. There is also less of a political risk with licensing, which avoids the risks associated with expropriation (没收) of the international company's investment by the host country's government. Licensing can also provide the host country with much-desired technology transfer, so that its government is likely to view such agreements as beneficial.Investment is the third way in which companies can compete in other countries. Typically, foreign direct investment involves ownership by an international company of a manufacturing plant or other production facility in a target country. Investments may be sole ventures; or they may be joint ventures. Investment may be in a new establishment, or it may involve the acquisition of an existing enterprise.International companies generally make direct investments in foreign countries for one of the three reasons. One reason is to obtain raw materials from the host country. Most of the extracted resource from the host country is either exported back to the international company's home country for use in manufacturing there, or sold on the world market.A second reason is to source products at a lower cost. Sourcing investors establish manufacturing or assembly operations in a foreign country for the purpose of obtaining components or finished goods more cheaply than they could in their home country. These components or finished goods are then exported back to the investor's home country or shipped to other countries.The third and most prevalent reason is to penetrate local markets and compete internationally. As noted above, international companies use direct investment to establish a production base in another country for the purpose of competing in that country's marketplace.51. Which of the following is the advantage of exporting?A. Many specialists can assist exporters to handle the details in exporting.B. Exporting is the best way for exporters to be fully involved in international business.C. Companies would be less likely to lose large capital in international markets.D. It is unnecessary for exporters to deal with an entity in the target country.52. Under an international licensing agreement, domestic companies provide foreign companies with ______.A. sound fundsB. existing marketC. components or finished productsD. technical assistance and human skills53. What benefit do licensing and other contractual agreements bring about?A. They bring fewer political risks for the local government.B. There is no equity investment in such agreements.C. They can eliminate some import barriers.D. Exporters won't face currency fluctuations with such agreements.54. What form does foreign investment take?A. Sole ventures.B. Joint ventures.C. Overseas plants.D. All of the above.55. Why do international companies make direct investments in foreign countries?A. To acquire the existing enterprises in the target country.B. To make full use of the advanced technology in the target country.C. To get raw materials from the target country.D. To establish manufacturing plants in the target country.Passage TwoIs Wal-Mart, the king of “cheap”, straying from its low-priced strategy in favor of more upscale offerings? In its weekly sales update on Saturday, the world's largest retailer reported that October sales at its U. S. stores open at least a year rose less than the expected 0.5 percent. This figure is even lower than Wal-Mart’s recently reduced guidance of a 1 percent increase. It initially saw a 2 to 4 percent rise.Wal-Mart and other chain store merchants wilt report their final October sales results on Thursday. In his presentation to a group of Wall Street analyst this week, Wal-Mart C EO Lee Scott admitted the world’s biggest retailer has seen at least one big setback to its attempts to boost sales by offering fancier, higher- priced merchandise. "We have to understand why Metro 7 doe s well in 600 stores but [doesn’t] do well when you expand it [into more stores]," Scott said. Scott was referring to Wal-Mart's fashionable private- label clothing brand called “Metro 7” that the company launched last year. Compared to the basic apparels Wal-Mart typically sells, Metro 7 was a step up in fashion and price.Moreover, Wal-Mart supported the brand's launch with a splashy and expensive marketing campaign. The strategy worked, at first, but Wal-Mart couldn't get the product into stores fast enough. The retailer expanded Metro 7 into 600 stores quickly, hoping to strengthen the brand's early success. Then the unexpected happened. Metro 7 failed to take off in some markets. Wal-Mart had planned to roll out the line in more than 1,000 locations but has since scaled back that targe t to between 700 to 800 stores. “We over-expanded it. We had a pretty good idea. I think what happened is we didn't follow the strategy. We overloaded the fashion part. We need to remember who we are,” Scott said. “We need to have a little bit of fashion. If we try to do more with fashi on, we're not going to do well,” he added.To that end, Wal-Mart in recent months set in motion a plan to court wealthier shoppers and boost profits and sales by introducing more upscale items that is trying to emulate Target's tremendous success with generate fatter profits. It would appear that Wal-Mart its "cheap-chic" merchandise approach. But some industry watchers warn that Wal-Mart is no Target.Target, the No.2 discounter, is now am ong the leaders in the “cheap-chic” space by being the first to enter into collaborations with high-profile designers like Mossimo and Todd Oldham. Despite its roots as Wal-Mart-like discounter, Target s become synonymous with the term "trendy.” Many consum ers say it’s "cool" to pay just a bit more, and walk out carrying Target's well-known bull’s-eye logo on their shopping bags. But retail experts said Wal-Mart simply isn't there yet in terms of changing its image. There are very few retailers with such a solid established image as Wal-Mart. To consumers Wal-Mart means everyday low prices.56. What was the goal set by Wal-Mart at the very beginning?A. 0.5 percent rise.B. 2-4 percent rise.C.1 percent increase.D.1.5 percent increase.57. What does “M etro 7” in the passage mean?A. A famous clothing brand from a Wal-Mart supplierB. A clothing brand from Wal-Mart.C. A fashionable clothing storeD. An upscale clothing company.58. Which of the following about “Metro 7” is TRUE?A. Metro 7 is a great success in all the markets.B. Metro 7 was a failure at the beginning.C. Metro 7 was launched to add a little bit of fashion to Wal-Mart.D. Metro 7 will be expanded quickly in the near future.59. What does “cheap-chic” mean in the passage?A. Cheap but splashy.B. Cheap and of poor quality.C. Expensive but of poor quality.D. Expensive and of good quality.60. According to the passage, what will Wal-Mart probably do in the future?A. Wal-Mart will still stick to its established former image.B. Wal-Mart will go on to capture the rich people.C. Wal-Mart will follow Target’s example in marketing.D. Wal-Mart will become trendy.Part III TRANSLATING & WRITING (40 minutes)Section ADirections:Translate the following passage into Chinese and write the Chinese version on the Answer Sheet.61. We would like to place an order for 800 EE183 scanners at US$100 each, CIF Shanghai, for shipmentduring January/February. We would like to propose a different payment arrangement this time. When the goods are ready for shipment and the freight space booked, you fax us and we then remit the full amount by telegraphic transfer.Section BDirections:Write a letter of no less than 100 words according to the given information and write it on the Answer Sheet.62. Y ou, David Fitzhugh, owner of Mid-Continent Distributors Inc., had sent a special announcement tocustomers, telling them that, in addition to the usual 15% trade discount on ceiling fans, they would receive an additional 10% discount on 48-inch fans.

Managers set _____and decide how their company can achieve them.A. limitsB. amountsC. detailsD. objectivesReading 1Effective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of the organization and ensures that everyone is working towards a common goal. It is also extremely important for motivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much easier if someone takes an interest and provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond well to goals, provided these are agreed between the manager and subordinate and not imposed.However, firms often have communications problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases, these problems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several ways of conveying information to others in the organization. These include speaking to them directly, e-mailing, telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on what exactly it is you are communicating. For example, anything that is particularly sensitive or confidential, such as an employee’s appraisal, should be done face-to-face.One of the main problems for senior executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed to communicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discuss progress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gap between senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods of communication, like memos or notes,even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means of passing on messages.The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is speeding up communication immensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial: systems can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications tools now available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if it could, it does not actually need them all. The potential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communication does not necessarily mean better communication.As the number of people involved in an organization increase, the use of written communication rises even faster. Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forwards. This can lead to a tremendous amount of paperwork and is often less effective than face to face communication. When you are actually talking to someone, you can discuss things until you are happy they have understood and feedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received. What you think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.1. In the first paragraph the writer recommends that communication with staff should includeA. some feedback on their job performanceB. an explanation of how company targets have been set.C. information on promotion prospects within the company.D. an indication of which duties they can expect assistance with.2. According to the writer, the best way of achieving effective communication is toA. adapt the message to suit a particular audience.B. make the content of messages brief and direct.C. select the most suitable means of conveying a particular message.D. ensure that information is targeted at the appropriate group of people.3. What does the writer say about the communication options available to senior managers?A. Sending memos to staff is one of the most efficient methods.B. It is important to find the time to discuss certain matters with staff.C. They should increase the range of options that they use.D. Getting junior managers to talk to staff can create different problems.4. What advice is given about the communication tools made available by technology?A. Aim to limit staff use of certain communication tools.B. Evaluate them in terms of the expenditure involved.C. Select them on the basis of the facilities they offer.D. Encourage more staff to attend training courses in their use.5. According to the writer, a problem with written communication is thatA. the message can be interpreted differently to what was intended.B. it can be easy for people to ignore the contents of a written message.C. most people are more comfortable with face-to-face communication.D. it is possible for correspondence to get lost within a large organization.Reading 2Tariffs ( 关税) may be used simply to obtain revenue. In some developing countries, revenue tariffs provide an important part of the government’s in come. Often, however, tariffs are protective, and are designed to carry out a particular economic policy. They may help to reduce a balance of payment deficit or to protect an infant industry against strong international competition from older corporations. A revenue tariff will always provide some protection, and a protection tariff will produce some revenue. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish between revenue and protective tariffs from economic evidence alone.Many different types of non-tariff barriers have been used, but the best known of these are quota systems ( 配额制) . A quota is an upper limit which is set on imports of a commodity for a fixed period of time. Some quotas apply to the physical quantities of particular goods, whereas others are based on the total value of all imports. In the latter case, the quotas are usually combined with a system of exchange control in an attempt to prevent a balance of payment deficit. Quotas are also used to protect domestic industries. Under most quota systems, importers must obtain government licences for the goods they wish to import. It should be noted that a quota system is always protectionist and provides no revenues to the country.When a tariff is imposed on an import, the direct impact on price is to raise it by the amount of the tariff. Market factors, however, can modify this effect. Hence, the final price increase due to a tariff may be less than, equal to, or more than the amount of the tariff. In contrast, the impact of a quota on price is much harder to predict. The effects are particularly uncertain with goods which are not produced at all domestically. For instance, many countries do not have their own car industry, so that an import quota can cause a considerable shift in automobile prices.1. What’s the main purpose of imposing tariffs?_________A. Prohibit imports.B. Reduce a balance of payment deficit.C. Promote competition.D. Raise revenue and protect domestic industries.2. They may help to reduce a balance of payment deficit or to protect an infantindustry against strong international competition from older corporations.“Infant ”means_____.A. strongB. newC. childD. manufacturing3. In the latter case, the quotas are usually combined with a system of exchangecontrol in an attempt to prevent a balance of payment deficit. “The latter case ” refers to ______.A. quotas which are set on imports of a commodityB. quotas which apply to physical quantities of goodsC. quotas which are based on the total value of importsD. quotas which provide revenue to the country4. The final increase due to a tariff may be_______.A. less than the amount of the tariffB. equal to the amount of the tariffC. more than the amount of the tariffD. All of the above5. According to the passage, which statement is not true ?A. The best known of non-tariff barriers are quota system.B. The impact of a quota on price is much harder to predict.C. The effects of quota on price are certain with goods which are also produced domestically.D. A revenue tariff will always provide some protection.Cloze.Latin American stocks fell for a second day on Friday in reaction to Asia’s currency and stock market crash.

I had to take the bus home. For several days, my age was questioned by the bus driver.As I was embarrassed at the driver making a scene (吵闹), the first time, I paid the £1.05, instead of just 70p. When I got off I asked for my 35p back and was told to go to the bus station with proof of my age.The next day I asked once again for a child single from Blagrove to Wotton Bassett, and the male driver asked my date of birth, and then for proof. Is everyone expected to carry a birth certificate or passport around because of arrogant bus drivers? I gave the driver 70p which was the only money I had on me. I told the driver this and he stopped the bus.The other passengers were clearly frustrated and told him not to be so stupid. One of the adults knew me and tried to tell him that I was only 14 and at school but he ignored her. Luckily another passenger gave the driver the extra 35 p so that he’d drive on.How does someone like this get a job dealing with the public when he acts like this? I understand that Stagecoach is short of drivers but I think this particular driver is just going to make customers feel threatened and reluctant to travel with him.I’m sure there are other people who must have complained about his attitude and something should be done about him.I’d like my money refunded and would hope that in the future the drivers would believe what they are told.Yours faithfully(Miss) Emma Harrow41.

Choose the best answer for each statement or question fromthe four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet with a single line throw the center.Passage OneMost products must be contained before they can be moved from one place to another. To function successfully, the package must contain the product. This containment function of packaging makes a huge contribution to protecting the environment. Faulty packaging (or under packaging) can lead to spillages and result in major losses and serious damage.Packaging plays a vital role in protecting products as they go from the manufacturer to the consumer. Packaging is designed to ensure that the product reaches the consumer in good condition. The product is protected:● during tra nsport and distribution;● from climatic effects (heat and cold, moisture, vapour, drying atmospheres);● from hazardous substances and contaminants;● from infestation.Packaging can also provide supplementary product protection. This may be achieved by forms of cushioning such as shredded papers, sheets of corrugated paperboard (瓦楞纸板), foamed plastic or wrappings. Thermoformed plastic trays (for biscuits) or inner paperboard partitions (in a carton of wine) protect fragile goods. Structures that resist damage can also be created by tightly enclosing products in shrinkable or stretchable films or in tighter and smaller bundles of paperboard and corrugate.Packaging serves as a shield against infection by contamination. Improved standards of public health and processing sanitation (卫生设备) have contributed to the reduction of infection around the world. Food quality and safety are guaranteed by tamper proof packaging. Child proof closures on household chemicals/ detergents, pharmaceuticals and care products are devices developed by the packaging industry to protect against misuse.Food products are subject to biological spoilage caused by the normal enzyme(酶)-induced ageing and by microbiological decomposition caused by bacteria, yeasts (酵母) and moulds. Packaging assists inthe preservation of foods and can reduce the rate of spoilage and decomposition. Packaging therefore contributes to food safety, quality and nutrition. Packaging technology has made major contributions to advancing food science and food safety and reduction of food spoilage.A package must protect what it sells and sell what it protects. Modern methods of consumer marketing would fail were it not for the messages communicated on the package. It is not only the primary package that must communicate. Warehouses and distribution centers would be less efficient if secondary and tertiary packages lacked labels or carried incomplete details. When international trade is involved and different languages are spoken, the use of unambiguous, readily understood symbols on the distribution package is essential.Packaging protects the interests of consumers. The information contained on the package tells the consumer what the product is and how to use it. Such information includes: product brand names and descriptions; manufacturer’s name and address; quantity; use-by dates; directions fro use; storage and disposal; and cautionary or emergency information. Food packaging lists: ingredients; new weight of the contents and the number of servings; methods of preparation; recipes and serving ideas; and often the nutritional benefits of the contents. Much of this information is required by law.The printed codes on packages (including bar codes) help ensure the control of the flow of products to the consumer during bulk-distribution. Information includes: quantity, price, inventory levels, lot numbers, distribution routes, size, elapsed time since packaging, color, and merchandising and premium data.The information provided on packaging allows the consumer to make informed decisions on the product’s purchase and use.51. The main idea of this passage may be expressed as __________.A. the roles of packagingB. the types of packagingC. the importance of packagingD. the development of packaging52. According to the passage, the container of the product may prevent the product from __________.A. improving the efficiencyB. reducing the costC. polluting the environmentD. making the delivery fast53. Packaging plays great roles in the following things EXCEPT __________.A. ensuring the quality of foodB. guaranteeing the safety of foodC. providing the variety of foodD. reducing the spoilage of food54. A package sells what it protects because __________.A. packaging will influence consumers’ decisions with the information it offersB. different languages are printed on the packages of productsC. all packages contain complete symbols about the productD. the printed code offers much convenience for the sellers to sell the products55. Which function of packaging is not discussed in the passage?A. Communication function.B. Protection function.C. Containment function.D. Distribution function.Passage TwoYou may still be using paper invoice s and doing so for various reasons. Perhaps you’re unsure of the viability of electronic invoicing? Or maybe you don't trust cyberspace? It may be that you're intimidated by the changeover or feel that it will take too much time and effort? The fact is paperless invoicing is easy, convenient and inexpensive. With electronic invoices, it's estimated that a company can save 80% of the cost associated with paper billing. Additionally, those companies purchasing products are able to save money by paying via the Net without any late fees and saving money on postage, stationery and envelopes.Labor costs are lessened on both sides of the exchange.However, of the 18 billion invoices generated each year in Europe, most are still submitted on paper. For EU member nations, there has been a problem of incorporating Value Added Tax (VA T) rates into an e-invoice that crosses national borders. If you're trading within the UK, this is not a problem, but when conducting business outside native environments, electronic invoices can be problematic. Over the past few years, after the EU issued the "E-Invoice Directive" (known as Directive 2001/115/EC) in January 2004, member nations have worked to help solve this problem. However, with legislation varying from country to country there are still difficulties in making e-invoices VA T compliant. All invoices must be V AT compliant as per the laws of the land of supply. Despite these challenges on the import/export front, you can still readily cut down on paperwork by submitting e-invoices within the UK.Another problem you may face has to do with a lack of standardization in using electronic invoicing, whether dealing within the UK or outside of its boundaries. There are numerous standards that are available to businesses, including those that start with the purchaser and those that are initiated by the supplier. In order to use an e-invoice system, you'll need to determine what type of structure best meets your billing needs.Even when you have decided to use electronic invoicing, there will be a period of training and adjustment whether your operation is small, medium or large. No matter how simple the system, you'll find that employees will be confused at times. This is especially true if your former system has been used for a long period of time. Also, even in this cyber-age, many of us still find comfort in having paper in our hands.In actual use of electronic invoicing, make sure that there is a sound system of back-ups in place. The fear that information might be lost is perhaps one of the biggest reasons for people clinging to the paper invoice. However, paper can be lost too, and unlike electronically generated bills once misplaced or thrown out, they are difficult to recreate. Paper invoices also take up a lot of room that can be used for office, storage or sales space.56. Paperless invoicing ___________.A. costs more than paper billingB. costs more laborC. saves money on postage, stationery and envelopesD. may result in late fees57. Electronic invoices can be problematic when __________.A. trading within the UKB. conducting business with foreign countriesC. doing business within native environmentsD. traveling across national borders58. A period of training and adjustment is necessary in order to use electronic invoicing because _______.A. the system is so complicatedB. the option is too largeC. employees are not good at using computersD. employees have problems in using the system59. What should be done to ensure a sound use of paperless invoicing?A. Structuring new standards for each business.B. Employing more professional employees.C. Adjusting computer systems.D. Having a sound system of back-up.60. The biggest reason why some people are against the electronic invoice is that __________.A. it is more expensive than the paper invoiceB. it is too difficult to learnC. the information of the electronic invoice may be more likely to be lostD. it’s difficult to recreate the electronic invoice once they are misplacedPart III TRANSLATING & WRITING (40 minutes) Section ADirections:Translate the following passage into Chinese and write the Chinese version on the Answer Sheet.61.

Managers set _____and decide how their company can achieve them.A. limitsB. amountsC. detailsD. objectivesReading 1Effective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of the organization and ensures that everyone is working towards a common goal. It is also extremely important for motivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much easier if someone takes an interest and provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond well to goals, provided these are agreed between the manager and subordinate and not imposed.However, firms often have communications problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases, these problems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several ways of conveying information to others in the organization. These include speaking to them directly, e-mailing, telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on what exactly it is you are communicating. For example, anything that is particularly sensitive or confidential, such as an employee’s appraisal, should be done face-to-face.One of the main problems for senior executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed to communicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discuss progress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gap between senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods of communication, like memos or notes,even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means of passing on messages.The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is speeding up communication immensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial: systems can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications tools now available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if it could, it does not actually need them all. The potential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communication does not necessarily mean better communication.As the number of people involved in an organization increase, the use of written communication rises even faster. Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forwards. This can lead to a tremendous amount of paperwork and is often less effective than face to face communication. When you are actually talking to someone, you can discuss things until you are happy they have understood and feedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received. What you think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.1. In the first paragraph the writer recommends that communication with staff should includeA. some feedback on their job performanceB. an explanation of how company targets have been set.C. information on promotion prospects within the company.D. an indication of which duties they can expect assistance with.2. According to the writer, the best way of achieving effective communication is toA. adapt the message to suit a particular audience.B. make the content of messages brief and direct.C. select the most suitable means of conveying a particular message.D. ensure that information is targeted at the appropriate group of people.3. What does the writer say about the communication options available to senior managers?A. Sending memos to staff is one of the most efficient methods.B. It is important to find the time to discuss certain matters with staff.C. They should increase the range of options that they use.D. Getting junior managers to talk to staff can create different problems.4. What advice is given about the communication tools made available by technology?A. Aim to limit staff use of certain communication tools.B. Evaluate them in terms of the expenditure involved.C. Select them on the basis of the facilities they offer.D. Encourage more staff to attend training courses in their use.5. According to the writer, a problem with written communication is thatA. the message can be interpreted differently to what was intended.B. it can be easy for people to ignore the contents of a written message.C. most people are more comfortable with face-to-face communication.D. it is possible for correspondence to get lost within a large organization.Reading 2Tariffs ( 关税) may be used simply to obtain revenue. In some developing countries, revenue tariffs provide an important part of the government’s in come. Often, however, tariffs are protective, and are designed to carry out a particular economic policy. They may help to reduce a balance of payment deficit or to protect an infant industry against strong international competition from older corporations. A revenue tariff will always provide some protection, and a protection tariff will produce some revenue. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish between revenue and protective tariffs from economic evidence alone.Many different types of non-tariff barriers have been used, but the best known of these are quota systems ( 配额制) . A quota is an upper limit which is set on imports of a commodity for a fixed period of time. Some quotas apply to the physical quantities of particular goods, whereas others are based on the total value of all imports. In the latter case, the quotas are usually combined with a system of exchange control in an attempt to prevent a balance of payment deficit. Quotas are also used to protect domestic industries. Under most quota systems, importers must obtain government licences for the goods they wish to import. It should be noted that a quota system is always protectionist and provides no revenues to the country.When a tariff is imposed on an import, the direct impact on price is to raise it by the amount of the tariff. Market factors, however, can modify this effect. Hence, the final price increase due to a tariff may be less than, equal to, or more than the amount of the tariff. In contrast, the impact of a quota on price is much harder to predict. The effects are particularly uncertain with goods which are not produced at all domestically. For instance, many countries do not have their own car industry, so that an import quota can cause a considerable shift in automobile prices.1. What’s the main purpose of imposing tariffs?_________A. Prohibit imports.B. Reduce a balance of payment deficit.C. Promote competition.D. Raise revenue and protect domestic industries.2. They may help to reduce a balance of payment deficit or to protect an infantindustry against strong international competition from older corporations.“Infant ”means_____.A. strongB. newC. childD. manufacturing3. In the latter case, the quotas are usually combined with a system of exchangecontrol in an attempt to prevent a balance of payment deficit. “The latter case ” refers to ______.A. quotas which are set on imports of a commodityB. quotas which apply to physical quantities of goodsC. quotas which are based on the total value of importsD. quotas which provide revenue to the country4. The final increase due to a tariff may be_______.A. less than the amount of the tariffB. equal to the amount of the tariffC. more than the amount of the tariffD. All of the above5. According to the passage, which statement is not true ?A. The best known of non-tariff barriers are quota system.B. The impact of a quota on price is much harder to predict.C. The effects of quota on price are certain with goods which are also produced domestically.D. A revenue tariff will always provide some protection.Cloze.Latin American stocks fell for a second day on Friday in reaction to Asia’s currency and stock market crash.
