Which extract(A, B, C, D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to?For each statement(1-6), mark one lette

    2、r(A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet.You will need to use some of these letters more than once.There is an example at the beginning(0).Example:0 Mining is the major industry of the area. AJharkhand, a state that traditionally has focused on agriculture, is attracting big international investors as

    3、 the costs of land and labour rise in coastal regions. In 2007 alone, 187 new foreign enterprises had established presences in the state. Jharkhands main draw low wages and cheap land will continue to provide incentives for Foreign Direct Investment in the years to come. The state capital Ranchi, a

    4、six-hour bus ride from Kolkata, accounts for about 30 percent of the total investment in the state.BVietnam will continue to invest heavily in its agricultural future. Rice is the major product of the country, and Vietnams ever-growing food demands will see that crop yields will need to be consisten

    5、tly high. Hi-tech research is required, and government policies will ensure that more R this instability creates an unfavourable atmosphere for international trade. Tariffs and trade restrictions are also barriers to international business. A nation can restrict trade through import tariffs, quotas

    6、and embargoes, and exchange controls. Import tariffs: a duty, or tax, levied against goods brought into a country is an import tariff.【 P4】 _The risk in importing tariff is that the other country could take the same action. Quotas and embargoes: a quota is a limit on the amount of a product that can

    7、 leave or enter a country. Some quotas are established on a voluntary basis.【 P5】_For instance, Japanese automobile manufacturers have voluntarily reduced the number of cars shipped from the United States to five automakers here the time they need to modernise their factories. An embargo is a total

    8、ban on certain imports and exports. Many embargoes are politically caused. Exchange controls: restrictions on the amount of a certain currency that can be bought or sold are called exchange controls.【 P6】_Example: A Tariff can be used to discourage foreign competitors from entering a domestic market

    9、.B A government can use exchange controls to limit the amount of products that importers can purchase with a particular currency.C The voluntary quota reduced the quantity of products for exportation.D Selling products from one country to another is sometimes difficult when the cultures of the two c

    10、ountries differ significantly.E Generally, a voluntary quota fosters goodwill and protects a country from foreign competition.F However, managers still make costly mistakes when conducting business internationally simply because they do not understand such differences.G The most common barriers to i

    11、nternational business are: cultural, social, and political barriers, and tariffs and trade restrictions.H Social forces which are universal in peoples daily life can create obstacles to international trade. 9 【 P1】 10 【 P2】 11 【 P3】 12 【 P4】 13 【 P5】 14 【 P6】 三、 PART THREE 14 Read the following arti

    12、cle about investment in foreclosed properties and the questions on the opposite page. For each question(15-20), mark ones letter(A, B, C or D)on your Answer Sheet. An incredible opportunity for real estate investors is investing in foreclosure. Foreclosed homes repeatedly sell at deep discounts; whi

    13、ch provides buyers a straightforward opportunity to profit. Because foreclosed homes are often highly discounted, they can be purchased and sold with a large return. Homes that are facing or have vanished by way of foreclosure often meet the investing goals of both the long term investor and the inv

    14、estor that plans to flip the property. Plainly stated, a foreclosed property is one that has been repossessed by the lender for non-disbursement of the mortgage. Since the majority mortgages are collateralised by the actual property, a dwelling that has gone through foreclosure has re-claimed by the

    15、 bank. There are a lot of things that occur all through this progression, and depending on which status the residence is located, the procedure can actually take numerous months. As a consequence of the difficulty of the process as well as the length and the cost for both the bank and homeowner, the

    16、re exists a chance for investors to arbitrate and help both parties in the circumstances. Throughout the period previous to a home is officially repossessed by the bank, the real estate investor may have an opportunity to jump in. Throughout this preforeclosure time, the bank is actively taking step

    17、s to eject the property owner and take back the house. For the duration of this time, the homeowners are in the situation that they are no longer making payments to the bank and at jeopardy of losing their credit rating, their dwelling, and even their pride. Throughout these periods, an investor can

    18、 choose to intervene and buy the habitat at a discounted rate from the homeowner. Depending on the situation, the investor could be able to purchase the house for less than is owed on it(short sale)which presents an important occasion. As mentioned before, the preforeclosure process may last many mo

    19、nths. Nonetheless, if a declaration is not met involving the bank and landholder or a likely investor, the route ends with the bank placing the house up for community public sale. The last step in a foreclosed habitat is when the regional sheriff comes to provide the eviction notice and paste the pu

    20、blic sale notice on the front door. At that point forward, the dwelling is officially foreclosed. Though it is much more challenging, after a habitat is foreclosed upon, it may well be bought at a discount at community sale. Although these auctions there are certainly deals to be had. However, it is

    21、 important to realise that if the smallest bid is not met, the bank that owns the property could opt to get it back. In addition, at open public sale, you are competing with a number of additional investors so you may well not get as high-quality of a contract as you would have previously. All in al

    22、l though, investing in foreclosed homes can be a grand way to profit. 15 In the first paragraph, the word “foreclose“ here is similar to ( A) reject ( B) control ( C) prevent ( D) disqualify 16 Which of the following statements can correctly define a foreclosed property? ( A) Foreclosed properties a

    23、re those that have been repossessed by the bank for non-disbursement of the mortgage. ( B) Foreclosed properties are those properties that have been claimed by investors for non-disbursement of the mortgage. ( C) A foreclosed property is one that has been repossessed by the owner by paying off the m

    24、ortgage. ( D) A foreclosed property is one that property investors are competing to obtain for profits at an public auction. 17 Who is the legitimate owner of a foreclosed property? ( A) the first-hand property owner ( B) the bank ( C) the investor who succeeds in the bid ( D) the auctioneer 18 A pr

    25、operty is officially foreclosed ( A) when the bank takes steps to take it back. ( B) when an investor intervenes and shows a strong desire to buy it. ( C) when the public sale is held. ( D) when the government evicts it by putting up a sale notice on its door. 19 The following statements about this

    26、article are correct except ( A) foreclosed properties cannot be promptly go into a sales market when it is officially foreclosed. ( B) property investors can always own a foreclosed property from the former property owner at a sales market. ( C) investors cannot always get a satisfactory contract fr

    27、om the foreclosed property as they wish. ( D) investing in foreclosed properties may become highly profitable. 20 Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article? ( A) Profiting from foreclosure ( B) An opportunity for investment in real estate ( C) The Procedures of property

    28、 foreclosure ( D) Investing in foreclosed properties 四、 PART FOUR 20 Read the article below about how capital controls and monetary policy are important adoptable in developing countries. Choose the correct word or words to fill each gap from A, B, C or D on the opposite page. For each question(21 3

    29、0), mark one letter(A, B, C or D)on your Answer Sheet. There is an example at the beginning(0). Capital Controls and Monetary Policy in Developing Countries This paper -looks at both the theoretical and empirical literature on capital controls and finds that (0). D.controls can play an important rol

    30、e in developing countries by helping to insulate them from some of the harmful【 C1】 _of volatile and short-term capital flows. The authors look at controls on capital inflows in Malaysia(1989-1995); Colombia(1993-1998); Chile(1989-1998); and Brazil(1992-1998), and also consider the【 C2】 _of Malaysia

    31、s controls on outflows in 1998-2001. They conclude that there is sufficient backing in both economic theory and empirical evidence to consider more widespread【 C3】 _ of capital controls in order to 【 C4】 _some of the macroeconomic problems【 C5】_with short-term capital flows, to enable certain develo

    32、pment strategies, and to allow policymakers more flexibility with regard to crucial monetary and exchange rate policies. The paper follows what appears to be a shift in the position of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)towards such controls. In a February paper, the IMF concluded that “there may

    33、be【 C6】 _ in which capital controls are a legitimate【 C7】 _of the policy【 C8】 _to surges in capital inflows.“ The Funds Global Financial Stability Report【 C9】 _ in April 2010 was less sanguine about capital controls, but the net result is that the IMF appears more open to【 C10】 _capital controls tha

    36、 published ( C) announced ( D) issuing 30 【 C10】 ( A) support ( B) favour ( C) favouring ( D) supporting 五、 PART FIVE 30 Read the article below about passive-aggressive organisation. For each question(31-40), write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet. There is an example at the beginnin

    37、g(0).The Passive-Aggressive Organisation Healthy companies are hard to mistake. Their managers have access to good, timely information, the authority to make informed decisions, and the incentives to make them on behalf of the organisation, which promptly and capably carries them (0).A good term for

    38、 the healthiest of such organisations is “resilient“, since they can react nimbly【 B1】 _challenges and recover quickly 【 B2】 _those they cannot dodge. Unfortunately, most companies are not resilient. In fact, fewer than one【 B3】 _ five of the approximately 30,000 individuals 【 B4】 _responded to a gl

    39、obal online survey Booz Allen Hamilton conducted describe their organisations that way. The largest number-over one-quarter say they suffer from the cluster of pathologies we place【 B5】 _the label “passive-aggressive“. The category takes its name from the organisations quiet but tenacious resistance

    40、, in every way but openly, to corporate directives. In passive-aggressive organisations, people pay those directives lip service, putting in only enough effort to appear compliant. Employees feel free to do as they see fit【 B6】 _there are hardly ever unpleasant consequences, and the directives thems

    41、elves are often misguided and thus seem worthy【 B7】 _defiance. Making matters worse, senior management has left unclear where accountability actually lies, in effect absolving managers of final responsibility【 B8】 _ anything they do. Those【 B9】 _ initiative must wait interminably for a go-ahead, and

    42、 their actions when finally taken【 B10】_accompanied by a chorus of second-guessing, a poor but understandable substitute for the satisfaction of accomplishing the task at hand. 31 【 B1】 32 【 B2】 33 【 B3】 34 【 B4】 35 【 B5】 36 【 B6】 37 【 B7】 38 【 B8】 39 【 B9】 40 【 B10】 六、 PART SIX 40 Read the text bel

    43、ow about strategic recruiting. In most of the lines(41-52), there is one extra word. It either is grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the sense of the text. Some lines, however, are correct. If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet. If there is an extra word in the line,

    44、write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet. The exercise begins with two examples(0 and 00).0 The desire to become more strategic that has been espoused by recruiting00 leaders for more than over a decade, and yet, year after year, newly introduced【 M1】_initiatives seem more tactic

Recruiting processes【 M2】 _have nearly doubled in size when you look at the steps involved in , but no one【 M3】 _seems to think or can prove that output has changed all of that much. When you【 M4】 _look at what the typical recruiting organisation actually does , t

    46、he plain truth of【 M5】 _the matter is that 90 percent of the work is administrative or tactical at its best. Theres【 M6】 _nothing wrong with tactical work; it does for the most part generate a【 M7】 _positive return in the short term. But let there be no doubt on that a truly strategic【 M8】 _recruiti

    47、ng function would do a fraction of what typically gets done and a lot more【 M9】 _of what hasnt been getting done. Strategic actions have a broader, long-term【 M10】 _impacts on that manifest themselves by fundamentally altering an organisations【 M11】_capability or capacity to compete with. Little of

    48、what gets billed as being these days【 M12】 _is actually strategic. In fact, it seems that the word “strategic“ in conjunction with recruiting is most often used by vendors selling goods and services that have absolutely no strategic impact. 41 【 M1】 42 【 M2】 43 【 M3】 44 【 M4】 45 【 M5】 46 【 M6】 47 【
