21、：0，分数：0.00)八、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The objectives of purchasing employees have been labeled the “five rights of purchasing. “Purchasing employees try to buy the necessary materials and supplies at the right price, the right quality, from the right sources, at the right time. They must use the telepho

22、ne to “shop around“ for the best buys available, and they must take advantage of any discounts and any deliveries, installations, and warranties included in the prices. When purchasing employees decide on the supplier they intend to use, they issue a purchase order. The purchase order may direct the

23、 supplier to prepare the item for pickup by company employees or for delivery by the supplier. Purchasing people must then follow up on the order to make certain that the needed item is recevied on schedule anti in good condition. The problem of ordering the right quantity was explained earlier in t

24、he chapter. Several costs are associated with excessive inventories of materials and supplies. Money invested in excess inventories could have been invested elsewhere, where it could be earning money, excess inventories may be misplaced or stolen, may become spoiled or obsolete, and must be insured.

25、 The consequences of not ordering materials and supplies soon enough or in sufficient quantities can be especially, catastrophic for production departments. What if purchasing employees at American Motors Corporation failed to order the right number of cans or bottles? In each instance, production a

26、t a factory (or large segment of a factory) would be discontinued. The companies would lose much valuable production, even though many of their costs would continue, and employees would lose some of their income. Buying materials and supplies of the right quality is often just as important as contro

27、lling the quality of the items being manufactured for sale. The quality of the items produce can be no higher than the quality of the materials used in production processes. Also, purchasing employees are interested in getting what they are paying for, both in quantity and qualityand a little extra

28、whenever possible. A reliable source is often more important than the lowest price in securing quality. A purchasing manager who abandons a reliable supplier to take advantage of a lower price elsewhere may not find the reliable supplier available if he needs him at some future date. A balance betwe

29、en price and quality must often be made. The purchasing task is easier when only one or a few suppliers are used. However, total reliance on one supplier can be hazardous. Many companies go bankrupt each year. Employees sometimes strike. Production facilities often break down. Floods, hurricanes, an

30、d other natural disasters occasionally interfere with production and transportation facilities. Accordingly, many purchasing managers consider the use of several suppliers of key items as good insurance against disruptions in their own production processes. Timing is an important consideration in pu

31、rchasing. When raw materials are needed today, delivery tomorrow or the day after won“t do. Purchasing managers must divise control systems that allow their employees to check on the progress of incoming orders.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the writer, before purchasing employees decide on the right qua

32、ntity of materials and supplies, they have to first _.（分数：1.00）A.decide on the suppliers and issue a purchase orderB.compare prices of goods at several shops and make use of any discountsC.ask the suppliers for deliveries, installations and warrantiesD.make certain the needed goods are not damaged a

33、nd sent in time(2).From the failure in ordering the right number of materials and supplies, we can infer that _.（分数：1.00）A.Avoiding excess inventories helps you have more money to buy more business stockB.Ordering materials and supplies behind the schedule will delay production at a factoryC.Excess

34、inventories result from a large amount of loss and wasteD.The companies will decrease their costs of production and lose much valuable production(3).In the fifth paragraph, the writer implies that _.（分数：1.00）A.right quality is more important than right quantityB.sufficient quantities of materials an

35、d supplies promote production of goodsC.controlling the quality of manufactured items is more important than selling goods of the right quality.D.the quality of the materials in production decides the quality of the items produce(4).The phrase “a reliable source“ (line 1, para 6) most probably refer

36、s to _.（分数：1.00）A.a reliable supplier to take advantage of a lower price elsewhereB.a purchasing manager to find a reliable supplier availableC.several suppliers of key items as good insuranceD.some purchasing managers who check to see what we need(5).What is the main message of this text?（分数：1.00）A

37、.Purchasing employees should follow up on the processes of purchasing.B.People should be aware of the close relationship among the “five rights of purchasing. “C.The “five rights of purchasing“ are the important right people should have to purchase.D.People must consider five factors when buying the

38、 necessary materials and supplies.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Throughout history there have been many unusual taxes levied on such things as hats, beds, baths, marriages, and funerals. At one time England levied a tax on sunlight by collection from every household with six or more windows. And according

39、to legend, there was a Turkish ruler who collected a tax each time he dined with one of his subjects. Why? To pay for the wear and tear on his teeth! Different kinds of taxes help to spread the tax burden. Anyone who pays a tax is said to “bear the burden“ of the tax. The burden of a tax may fall mo

40、re heavily on some persons than on others. That is why the three levels of government in this country use several kinds of taxes. This spreads the burden of taxes among more people. From the standpoint of their use, the most important taxes are income ta- xes, property taxes, sales taxes, and estate

41、, inheritance, and gift taxes. Some are used by only one level of government;others by or even all three levels. Together these different taxes make up what is called our tax system. Income taxes are the main source of federal revenues. The federal government gets more than three-fourths of its reve

42、nue from income taxes. As its name indicated, an income tax is a tax on earnings. Both individuals and business corporations pay a federal income tax. The oldest tax in the United States today is the property tax. It provides most of the income for local governments. It provides at least a part of t

43、he income for all but a few states. It is not used by the federal government. A sales tax is a tax levied on purchases. Most people living in the United States know about sales taxes since they are used in all but four states. Actually there are several kinds of sales taxes, but only three of them a

44、re important. They are general sales taxes, excise taxes, and import taxes. Other three closely related taxes are estate, inheritance, and gift taxes. Everything a person owns, including both real and personal property, makes up his or her estate. When someone dies, ownership of his or her property

45、or estate passes on to one or more individuals or organizations. Before the prop- erty is transferred,however,it is subject to an estate tax if its value exceeds a certain amount.（分数：4.00）(1).The reason that the Turkish ruler collected a dining tax is to pay for（分数：0.80）A.the inconvenience for him t

46、o put on and take off clothes.B.the damage that eating did to his teeth.C.his efforts to cut the food into pieces.D.the decay of his teeth because of sugar.(2).The government levies different kinds of taxes so that（分数：0.80）A.the rich have to pay more and the poor less.B.a wider range of taxpayers ca

47、n be included.C.each of three levels of government could get tax money.D.the burden of taxes falls evenly on everybody.(3).The federal government get most of their income from（分数：0.80）A.property tax.B.income tax.C.sales tax.D.estate tax.(4).How many states levy import taxes in the U. S. A. ?（分数：0.80

49、ext 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Until men invented ways of staying underwater for more than a few minutes, the wonders of the world below the surface of the sea were almost unknown. The main problem, of course, lies in air. How could air be provided to swimmers below the surface of the sea? Pictures made about 2,900 years ago in Asia show men swimming under the surface with air bags tied to their bodies. A pipe from the bag carried air into the swimmer“s mouth. But little progress was achieved in the invention of diving devices until about 1490, when the famous
