31、licensing agreements. Japan rank high among the nations that have. gone to some lengths to keep foreign -owned companies out of industries connected with national defense, and the case of Japan is commonly cited for the idea that such a policy is feasible. In this case, multinational ownership is no

32、t important fox-the efficient transfer of technological information between nations; the use of licensing agreements is just as efficient.For over a hundred years Japan has consistently spent large sums of money and considerable human resources in an effort to obtain technology. Her ability to negot

33、iate has been strengthened by the fact that most of the technology she wanted was not very secret. Japans position has also been strengthened by the fact that her internal market was large, so that access to this market could be offered to multinational companies as an incentive for them to grant li

34、censes. Besides, Japans work force was literate and disciplined, so it was capable of applying the information it acquired. Finally, American and European companies might take a large share of the world market if they were not limited by licensing agreements.Conditions of this sort, coming together

35、in one nation, may well be unique, and the case of Japan may therefore not actually demonstrate that licensing is just as efficient as multinational ownership for the transfer of technology. In fact, Japan may be finding this method of operation less effective than in the past, as her needs for outs

36、ide technology now require information which belongs to only a few companies and is more closely held. Further- more, her need to use the markets of other countries is beginning to weaken its negotiating power she once had because of her control of her access to her internal market.82 Which of the f

37、ollowing is NOT a reason for foreign companies to be will ing to license the use of their technology?（A）The technology required by Japan is not secret.（B） It might be easier for foreign companies which has transferred tech nology to Japan to enter the Japanese market.（C） Japan possesses high-quality

38、 workers.（D）Licensing help Japan in expanding into the world market.83 Japan is cited as an example of _.（A）how to keep the internal market to Japanese companies（B） how to obtain technology from abroad（C） the success of multinational ownership（D）using licensing agreement as an effective way for obta

39、ining technology84 What is as efficient as the use of licensing agreements for the transfer of technology?（A）Multinational ownership.（B） Negotiation.（C） Opening the market to foreign companies.（D）Keeping foreign -owned companies out of industries related to national defense.85 The last sentence of t

40、he passage indicates all but _.（A）in the past, Japan has the control of foreign companies contact with the Japanese market（B） now Japan needs to sell her goods and services to other countries（C） now Japan loses the control over its internal market（D）now Japans business expansion abroad is becoming m

41、ore important than the need to control the internal market85 The first coins to appear in the Western world were issued by the Indians and the Ionian Greeks in the eighth century B. C. These coins, which were made of electrum, a natural combination of gold and silver, were irregular in weight and qu

42、ality. The pure gold and silver coins with related values which appeared during the reign of Croesus (560 -546 B. C. ) provide the first un doubted evidence of standard coinage by state authority. The coins were not perfectly shaped, however, for they were struck with a hand wielded hammer. The tren

43、d toward complete mathematical symmetry did not, in fact, begin until the coining press, invented by Leonardo da Vinci in the sixteenth century, was generally used in the middle of the seventeenth century.One should not assume, however, that only machine made coins are prized for their workmanship.

44、The silver dekadrachm from Syracuse, struck about 413 B. C. , is considered one of the finest Greek coins and is worth more than a thousand dollars today. An artistic masterpiece of a much later period is the silver taler minted in Ratisbon, southern Germany, in 1754.The value of a coin is not prima

45、rily determined by its age, as many people seem to think. Many Greek and Roman coins that were issued in abundance can be purchased for a moderate price. On the other hand, a German coin made of shrapnel during the First World War is very rare and valuable. Among the especially rare United States co

46、ins are the 1804 silver dollar, the 1822 five-dollar gold piece, and the 1894 silver dime.86 The reason some old Roman coins are NOT costly is that they are _.（A）available in quantity（B） inferior in workmanship（C） irregular in shape and size（D）made out of inexpensive metal87 Which of the following s

47、tatements may NOT be made about the coins made during the reign of Croesus?（A）They were issued by the government.（B） They were given standard values.（C） They were all of equal purity.（D）They were all alike in shape.88 The author specifically mentions all of the following features of the Syracusan de

48、kadrachm EXCEPT its _.（A）appearance（B） scarcity（C） value（D）age89 Leonardo de Vinci is mentioned in the passage in connection with _.（A）the first government issue of coins（B） the artistic aspect of coin making（C） coins issued in the sixteenth century（D）the production of uniform coins90 The author mak

49、es it clear that the Syracusan dekadrachm and the German taler mentioned in the passage are _.（A）handmade Western coins（B） worth about a thousand dollars each today（C） made out of different metals（D）noted for their craftsmanship90 Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why theyre always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they
