Passage Two Critical Path （questions 7-10 2 point...

Passage Two Critical Path (questions 7-10 2 points for each 8 points totally） David Hayden founded his company, Critical Path, an email provider. In 1997 to take advantage of the boom in email traffic. Critical Path became a public company two years later, and Hayden took the opportunity to step down from his executive position In order to work on personal projects. At the same time, he agreed to stay with the company as Chairman, but the business was put in the hands of new managers by its investors. With sector-leading products and an expanding market, the company seemed to be on the up and up. However, by early 2001, it was in trouble. Shares that had been worth $26 in 1999, when they were first sold, were down to a mere 24 cents. Called in by a panicking board, Hayden found himself back in charge as Executive Chairman, trying desperately to rescue what he could. The 1,100 staff had lost confidence in the company and did not know what was going to happen to them. And, as Hayden discovered, the management team was Incompetent. 'Those guys didn't understand the product or the sector,' says Hayden, 'The heads of department didn't communicate and they didn't lead.' But what was worse, Critical Path had lost the goodwill of its investors. Hayden knew that bringing the figures under control would be a vital step In the company's turnaround. 'You've got to sort out the finances. For me, that meant getting back the goodwill of the investors. That was tough, after what had happened. But although they were angry with the company, they didn't have bad feelings about me. I told them that I knew I could get the company on its feet again.' He was authorized to make whatever changes were required, and his first act was to find people within the company he could trust and put them In charge. The next thing Hayden had to tackle was morale. 'Everyone Idt the office at five on the dot - they couldn't get away quickly enough. To get the buzz back and win the staff over, I had to prove my own commitment and put in the extra hours with them.' In return, It was assumed that nobody would ask for overtime pay until the company was on its ect. again. Contrary to normal practice, Hayden was reluctant to lay people off, and apart from not replacing people as they reached retirement age, he left the workforce largely unchanged, although he did identify key people throughout the company who were given more responsibility. But, as Hayden Insists, before a company reaches such a crisis, there are warning signs that any financial director or accountant should take note of. *A business that has an unrealistic pricing policy or has to negotiate extended credit with its suppliers Is In trouble/ is his message. 'Or 1(you often have to apply for your overdraft limit to be raised or have trouble paying tax on time, something needs to be done. By 2003, the company was healthy again, with reasonably stable finances and a modest but steady share price of $1.60. 'One thing that helped save us was that our technology worked,* says Hayden. 'With 20 million email accounts, we never lost a single major client because the product kept on working.' With ideas for a fresh venture demanding his attention elsewhere, Hayden has moved on. 'It was time to go,' he says. Tm not a turnaround specialist. prefer start-ups.' （）7.What event coincided with Critical Path becoming a public company？ Hayden became the Executive Director of Critical Path Investors hired a replacement team to run Critical Path. Critical Path launched a successful new product on the market. Critical Path was floated on the Stock Exchange at 24 cents per share. （）8.One reason Hayden was able to turn Critical Path around was that he managed to find new investors. B.the financial situation was not as bad as he had thought C.he had built up a good relationship with the management team D.he was given the support that he needed （）9.According to Hayden, what could indicate that a business is in trouble？ problems keeping accounts up to date B. suppliers refusing to offer new credit terms C. a frequent need to increase the amount borrowed D. difficulties in getting payment from customers on time （）10.Hayden left Critical Path after he had rescued the company because A. he wanted to develop the technology for a new internet service B. he wanted to concentrate on founding a new enterprise C.he had been offered a job with a major internet company D.he decided to go into partnership with a major client.

Passage Two:Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.President Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today-that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions posses this great prestige?

One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.

Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.

A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which si a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, that democracy in preserving freedom.

Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (贵族的) idea of inherited privilege.

第26题：The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “________”.

A) The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce

B) Business problems are of great importance to the American government

C) Business is of primary concern to Americans

D) America is a great power in world business

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no

because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I

say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on

holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year – we just won’t go.

Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship

to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than

not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were

arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear

is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession – financial pressures mean

couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows

arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were

characterised by intense verbal (言语上的) aggression, tended to be repeated and not

resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.

Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal

because of what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women.

“People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s

for,” he explains. “They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to

show

someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of

buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.

“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what’s going on

with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about

talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing,who’s

paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy

relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。

61.What does the author say about vacationing?

A.People enjoy it all the more during a recession.

B.Few people can afford it without working hard.

C.It is the chief cause of family disputes.

D.It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Passage Four Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight.Unfortunately, that message

has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.

In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts;for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University

Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those

who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise

into their daily routine maintained their new weight.

If you have been sedentary ( 极少活动的 ) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the

added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in

food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and

making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.

26. What is said about the average American in the passage?

A．They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of “light” beer

B．They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight

C．They prefer “light” beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food

D．They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight

Passage Four:Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Reebok executives do not like to hear their stylish athletic shoes called “footwear for yuppies (雅皮士,少壮高薪职业人士)”. They contend that Reebok shoes appeal to diverse market segments, especially now that the company offers basketball and children’s shoes for the under-18 set and walking shoes for older customers not interested in aerobics (健身操) or running. The executives also point out that through recent acquisitions they have added hiking boots, dress and casual shoes, and high-performance athletic footwear to their product lines, all of which should attract new and varied groups of customers.

Still, despite its emphasis on new markets, Reebok plans few changes in the upmarket (高档消费人群的) retailing network that helped push sales to $1 billion annually, ahead of all other sports shoe marketers. Reebok shoes, which are priced from $27 to $85, will continue to be sold only in better specialty, sporting goods, and department stores, in accordance with the company’s view that consumers judge the quality of the brand by the quality of its distribution.

In the past few years, the Massachusetts-based company has imposed limits on the number of its distributors (and the number of shoes supplied to stores), partly out of necessity. At times the unexpected demand for Reebok’s exceeded supply, and the company could barely keep up with orders from the dealers it already had. These fulfillment problems seem to be under control now, but the company is still selective about its distributors. At present, Reebok shoes are available in about five thousand retail stores in the United States.

Reebok has already anticipated that walking shoes will be the next fitness-related craze, replacing aerobics shoes the same way its brightly colored, soft leather exercise footwear replaced conventional running shoes. Through product diversification and careful market research, Reebok hopes to avoid the distribution problems Nike came across several years ago, when Nike misjudged the strength of the aerobics shoe craze and was forced to unload huge inventories of running shoes through discount stores.

第36题：One reason why Reebok’s managerial personnel don’t like their shoes to be called “footwear for yuppies” is that ________.

A) they believe that their shoes are popular with people of different age groups

B) new production lines have been added to produce inexpensive shoes

C) “yuppies” usually evokes a negative image

D) the term makes people think of prohibitive prices

Passage two

Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world .women’s education may be unusual territory for economists ,but enhancing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue .and economics ,with its emphasis on incentives ,provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expert themto make an economic contribution to he family :girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children .Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling ,trapping women in a vicious circle of neglect.

An educated mother ,on the other hand ,has greater earning abilities outside the home and facesan entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insiston the development of all her children ,ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance .Theeducation of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls ,as well as of boys ,will be education and healthy . The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle. Few will dispute that education women has great social benefits.But it has enormous economicadvantages as well .Most obviously ,there is the direct effect of education on the wages of femaleworkers.Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns areimpressive by the standard of other available investments ,but they are just thebeginning .Education women also has a significant impact on health practices,including family planning.

The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when ( )A.women care more about education

B.girls can gain equal access to education

D.parents can afford their daughters’education

What does the author say about women’s education?
