This course looks at the adminisdivative functions of a bank’s loans department, e.g.dealing with credit applications and keeping records of loan divansactions.We will use real application forms of the type that adminisdivative staff in loans departments regularly handle.It will be particularly useful for experienced staff with day-to-day adminisdivative responsibility for loan portfolios.Although most clients choose to enjoy our beautiful premises, the course can be run at the client company or elsewhere.

D
This is a course for those new to leasing.It will provide you with a basic understanding of why companies prefer to lease property or machine, rather than buy.You will learn about both the expenses and tax benefits of leasing and you will study a variety of lease agreements and the laws relating to them.
参考答案1.D 句意：该课程针对那些几乎没有相关经历的人。D段首句指出“This is a course for those new to leasing.”(本课程为租赁业新手开办)，与题干表达内容相符。<br /> 2.C 句意：你能学到当某公司没有偿还贷款时，出借人该如何应对。C段首句指出“this course…outlines how to take legal action against a company that defaults on its repayment”(本课程概述怎样对拖欠还贷的公司采取法律行动)，与题干表达内容相符。<br /> 3.A 句意：公司可以决定职员参加课程的地点。A段最后一句话指出“the course can be run at the client company or elsewhere”，由此可见公司可以选择这门课程的开课地点。<br /> 4.B 句意：你能学会评估某企业是否可以偿还借款。B段第二句子提到“You will…use your analysis to judge their ability to settle their debts.”其中judge their ability to settle their debts与题干中assess whether a business can pay back the money it owes表达内容相一致。<br /> 5.A 句意：该课程能帮助你处理贷款过程中所涉及的文书工作。A段首句提到了“dealing with credit applications and keeping records of loan transactions”，而credit applications和records of loan transactions属于贷款过程中的文书工作，因此答案为A。<br /> 6.D 句意：你可以了解有关租赁设备方面的法律条文。D段主要讲述leasing（租赁），根据该段最后一句提到的“you will study a variety of lease agreements and the laws relating to them”可知通过参加该课程可以学到租赁设备方面的法律条文。<br /> 7.C 句意：该课程集中介绍公司借款时会用到的的法律(条文)。C段第一句提到“this course looks at the legal principles involved when a company takes out a loan”，其中legal principles和takes out a loan分别对应题干中的laws和borrows money。因此选C。

Can Your Marketing Be Effective Without Project Management?
Are your projects flowing smoothly?
Are you assigning responsibilities, deadlines and tasks, but it is just a headache to keep up? A likely problem is that tasks are not geeing handed off well or at the right time to others.(0)______.A project management system is not a cure-all, but it certainly is a start.
In marketing, I’m always amazed at the lack of formalized project management systems.(8)______.They assume that the purpose of a detailed plan is the same as it would be for other repetitive activities like manufacturing.The purpose of a project plan in marketing is to coordinate many of the uncertain activities that happen.And possibly more importantly, a good project plan will coordinate the activities of your resource requirements.Not everything will be predicdiv, but if we can make even some of the unpredicdiv predicdiv, we will increase the likelihood of success.
Within a project plan, we can establish overall and individual process medivics.(9)______.
The value of these types of medivics is that they will allow you to take action during a project where and when you can still influence its success.Measurability is perhaps the most important feature of the project plan.
Project management covers all aspects of planning: coordinating activities and resources and forming a baseline from which to manage the project.(10)______ Once a schedule is completed, it should be posted or made available to all stakeholders of the project.Constant updating should appear and be visible to all parties.A project plan is an active document, and should be used to manage the process.A schedule is the divanslation of the project plan into individual tasks, identifying durations, responsibilities, start and finish dates, resources, flow and milestones.
Everyone knows we cannot do enough planning, but it’s the time factor that prevents us, right? How much time does it really take to plan? From my experience you should use a baseline of around 5％ of your project’s time in planning.Now, what happens if planning takes longer? You need to diveat your planning process like any other process.Using a standard methodology, such as Lean Six Sigma and the toolset that it employs, will allow you the opportunity to get the most out of your planning cycle.(11)______ I have found most companies actually enjoy planning, the collaboration and decision-making that take place during it.What everyone doesn’t like is the waste in planning, so get rid of it!
The first thing you can do is plan the planning process.Take 5％ of your planning time to improve your planning.Set objectives, milestones, create key performance indicators and, most of all, create a standard work plan.(12)______ Consider that if you significantly improve your planning process, you will stop fighting such an uphill battle and create considerable down-flow opportunities of greater savings.Try it!
Example:
A.This gives everyone involved the same reference point.
B.We will need medivics to produce information quickly.
C.It will improve your planning process, removing the waste that you have accumulated in it.
D.After doing this a few times, planning will become very easy, intuitive and more productive.
E.There is more to project planning than this.
F.Most marketers resist the idea, misunderstanding the role of detailed planning for marketing projects.
G.Another problem may be that everyone’s priorities seem all mixed up, and one or two people or departments seem to be an enormous bottleneck.
参考答案8.F 该空前一句指出“在市场营销方面，我总是对正式项目管理体系的缺失感到震惊”，可以推测所缺句子应该进一步解释人们如何忽视营销中的项目管理，这正是选项F所表述的内容，而且F项中的marketers与后一句开头的they指代相同。<br /> 9.B 前一句指出“我们可以在项目计划里确立起整体和个人的流程指标”，可以推测所缺句子是进一步说明指标作用的，对应选项B中对metric的讨论。<br /> 10.A 前一句提到了baseline（基线），因此所缺句子应说明“基线”的作用。选项A的内容与之相呼应，而且选项A中的everyone involved与后一句中的all stakeholders指代相同。<br /> 11.C 前一句提到了“to get the most out of your planning cycle”（获得计划阶段的最大产出），因此所缺句子应该对其进行解释，对应选项C。<br /> 12.D 所缺句子后一句指出了improve your planning process（改进规划流程）的后果，因此空缺处应提出改进规划，与后一句构成因果关系，对应选项D。
● Read the article below about effective communication and the questions.
● For each question 13-18, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Effective communication is essential for all organisations.It links the activities of the various parts of the organisation and ensures that everyone is working towards a common goal.It is also exdivemely 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 exdivemely 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 condivibutes 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 organisation.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 suidiv 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 oudivated or employees may lack appropriate divaining.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 realise that more communication does not necessarily mean better communication.
As the number of people involved in an organisation 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 divemendous 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.
The amount of written information generated in large organisations today can lead to communication overload.So much information is gathered that it gets in the way of making decisions.Take a look at the average manager’s desk and you will see the problem, it is often covered in letters, reports and memos.This overload can lead to inefficiencies.For example, managers may not be able to find the information they want when they need it.Communication is also becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns.With more people working part-time and working from home, managing communication is becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns.With more people working part-time and working from home, managing communication is becoming increasingly complex.

The Cendival Problem of Economics The cendival problem of economics is to satisfy the people’s and nation’s wants.
The problem we are faced with is that our resources, here identified as money, are (0)______.The only way we can resolve our problem is to make choices.After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of (19)______ and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and (20)______ we cannot afford.As individuals, we face the cendival problem involved in economics—deciding just how to allocate(分配)our limited resources to provide (21)______with the greatest satisfaction of our wants.
Nations face the same problem.As a coundivy’s population grows the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly.Resources necessary to production may increase, but there (22)______are enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation.Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family (23) ______ room, in the conference room of the corporation (24)______of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists.We need to find methods of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants.
A short time ago economists (25)______ goods into two categories, free and economic.The former, like air and water, were in (26)______ abundance that economists had no concern for them.After all, economics is the (27)______of scarcity(匮乏)and what to do about it.Today many of these “free goods” are (28)______ very expensive to use.Pollution has made clean air and water expensive for producers who have to filter their waste products, for consumers who ultimately(最终) (29)______ the producers’ exdiva costs, and (30)______ taxpayers who pay for the government’s involvement in cleaning the environment.
In the 1990s, almost all goods are (31)______ Only by effort and money can they be obtained in the form people wish.
Meeting the needs of people and froming resources available (32)______ the basic activity of production.In divying to meet (33)______ wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.

参考答案19.C 这句话大意思是“我们必须查看我们需求有哪些，并对他们及时做出选择…”。want作名词“需求”讲时，常用复数。<br /> 20.A 根据语法知识可知，动词identify后应该有三个并列的宾语从句：the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and those we cannot afford.Those指代things，表示复数。故选A。<br /> 21.C 这个句子中使用的人称代词即主语是we，而且语法规则是如果人称代词是泛指的，在句子中，乃至在篇章中都应保持人称的一致。由此可知，这里应该用we的反身代词ourselves。<br /> 22.D 这句话是用but连接的转折句，前后意思应相反。这句话前半句的意思是“生产所需的资源可能会增长”；后半句的意思应该是“但从来没有足够的资源能够满足一个国家的全部需求”。所以，never是正确选择。<br /> 23.A 一般情况下，如果在家里讨论预算的问题，应该是在living room中进行。<br /> 24.C 这里考查“board of directors”的用法，“board of directors”是固定短语，意为“董事会”。<br /> 25.B 这句话的时间状语是“A short time ago”，由此可知这句话中的动词要用一般过去时。<br /> 26.C 这里考查的是such\so…that…的用法，such\so…that…表示“如此的…以至…”。因为这里要修饰的名词abundance是不可数名词，所以不能用so，也不能用such a。因为so修饰形容词, such a 后跟可数名词单数,故选C。<br /> 27.B 这句话的意思是“经济学是一门研究匮乏和如何应对匮乏的学科”。study of…意为“对…的研究”。<br /> 28.C 这个句子的意思是“免费物品”实际上用起来很昂贵的。in reality意为“实际上”。<br /> 29.C 这个句子讲述的是一般现象，所以用一般现在时，而且该句并列结构中用的就是一般现在时：“producers who have to filter…, tax, payers who pay for the government’s…”。pay for…表示“给…付款”。<br /> 30.C 这道题也是考查这句话的并列结构,expensive后应该三个for引导的介词短语,前两个是for producers who…, for consumers who…,所以最后一个也是 for taxpayers who…。<br /> 31.B 这句话的意思是“几乎所有的物品都是匮乏的，只有通过努力和使用金钱才能得到人们想要的商品”。由此可知，选scarce，表示“稀少的”。<br /> 32.D 这里考查lead to的用法，lead to意为“导致”时，不能用被动语态，所以将A排除；因为句子的主语是第三人称单数，故C是错误的。<br /> 33.A 根据上文的意思可知，经济商品是有限的，而人的需求是无止境的。故选unlimited“无限量的”。
● In most of the lines (34—45) there is one exdiva word.It is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the meaning of the text.Some lines, however, are correct.
● If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.

35.employees.First, the company can decide that is given its staff expertise and budget,

37.may decide that it is more than cost-effective to identify employees who are computer
38.-literate by using tests and work samples.Employees who fail to the test or perform
39.below standards on the work sample can be got reassigned to other jobs.Choosing
40.this sdivategy gives suggests that the company has decided to devote resources to
41.selection and placement rather than divaining.Third, because it lacks of time or
42.expertise, the company may decide to purchase divaining from a consultant.Many
43.companies identify vendors and consultants who can provide with divaining services
44.by using requests for proposals.A request for proposal (RFP) is a document that
45.outlines for potential vendors and consultants the type of service what the company is seeking.
参考答案34.CORRECT<br /> 35.IS that在此处引导宾语从句。given its staff and budget意为“考虑到公司的员工及预算”。故is多余。<br /> 36.IF 该题考查句子结构。宾语从句中given its staff and budget为状语部分，后面部分为宾语从句中的主句，故if 多余。<br /> 37.THAN 句意：通过使用测验和对工作样本的认定来辨别哪些员工更精通计算机并更能节省成本。more than意为“不仅仅”，用在此处不符合文意，故than多余。<br /> 38.TO fail the test指“未能通过测验”。fail为及物动词，后面可以直接加名词，故to多余。<br /> 39.GOT 句意：未通过测验的工人被再次分配到其他岗位上。reassign意为“再分配，再指定”，此处用的是其被动形式，故got多余。<br /> 40.GIVES 一个句子中不能出现两个谓语，该句中的谓语为suggest（暗指，暗示），故gives多余。<br /> 41.OF lack在此处作谓语，是及物动词，可直接加名词，故of多余。作名词时时，有a/the lack of sth.的用法。<br /> 42.CORRECT<br /> 43.WITH provide training services指“提供培训服务”，此处并没有提供服务的对象，无需用with。provide with供给；备有。<br /> 44.CORRECT<br /> 45.WHAT the company is seeking为the type of service的定语从句，此处省略了关系代词that，what不能充当关系代词，故多余。
