21、s. Section III Reading comprehension (40 points) Section A Directions:.There are 5 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken t
22、he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.. Questions 31 to 34 are based on the following passage: The stability of the U.S. banking system is maintained by means of supervision and regulation,inspections,deposit insurance,and loans to troubled banks.For over 50 years,the
23、se precautions have prevented banking panics.However,there have been some close calls.The collapse of Continental lllinois Bank & Trusted Company of Chicago in 1984 did not bring down the banking system,but it certainly rattled some windows. In the late 1970s,Continental soared to a leadership
24、 position among Midwestern banks.Parts of its growth strategy were risky,however.It made many loans in the energy field,including billion that it took over from Penn Square Band of Oklahoma City.To obtain the funds it needed to make these loans,Continental relied heavily on shortterm borrowing from
25、 other banks and large,30day certificates of deposit-"hot money",in banking jargon.At least one Continental officer saw danger signs and wrote a warning memo to her superiors,but the memo went unheeded .Although the Comptroller of the Currency inspected Continental on a regular basis,it failed to s
26、ee low serious its problems were going to be. Penn Square Bank was closed by regulators in July 1982.When energy prices began to slip,most of the billion in loans that Continental had taken over from the smaller banks turned out to be had.Other loans to troubled companies such Chrysler,lnterna
27、tional Harvester,and Braniff looked questionable.Seeing these problem，"hot money"owners began to pull their funds out of Continental. By the spring of 1984,a run on Continental had begun.In May,the bank had to borrow .5 billion from the Fed to replace overnight funds it bad lost.But this was n
28、ot enough.To try to stem the outflow of deposits from Continemtal,the FDIC agreed to guarantee not just the first ,000 of each depositors money but all of it.Nevertheless,the run continued. Federal regulators tried hard to find a sound bank that could take over Continental-a common way of res
29、cuing failing banks.But Continental was just too big for anyone to buy.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was dashed.Regulators faced a stark choice:Let Continental collapse,or take it over themselves. Letting the bank fail seemed too risky.It was estimated that more than 100 other ba
30、nks had placed enough funds in Continental to put them at risk if Continental failed.Thus,on a rainy Thursday at the end of July,the FDIC in effect nationalized Continental Illinois at a cost of .5 billion.This kept the banks doors open and prevented a chain reaction.However,in all but a technical
31、sense,Continental had become the biggest bank failure in U.S.history. 31.In the spring of 1984,Continental experienced------. Aa fast growth period. Ba stability period Ca run. Dan oil price decrease. 32.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was------. Ades
32、troyed. Babsurd Cdesperate. Ddamaged. 33.The nationalizatin of Continental------. Asaved it Bmade"hot money"owners continue to pull their funds out of Continental. Calmost brought down the banking system Dfired many highranking officers. 34.Banking
33、 panics may be prevented by means of------. Adeposit insurance.Bgrowth strategy Clongterm borrowing.Dwarning memo. Questions 35 to 38 are based on the following passage: If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills,American firms have a problem.Human
34、resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States.Skill acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility.Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw mate
35、rials or equipment. The lack of importance attached to humanresource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command.The post of head of humanresource managements is usually a specialized job,off at the ed
36、ge of the corporate hierarchy.The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO).By way of contrast,in Japan the head of humanresource management is central-usually the second most important executive,after the CEO
37、in the firms hierarchy. While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces,in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms.The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and manag
38、erial employees.And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies. As a result,problems emerge when ne
39、w breakthrough technologies arrive.If American workers,for example,take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as they do),the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated.More time is required before eq
40、uipment is up and running at capacity,and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower pace of technological change.And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect
41、the wages of the top half.If the bottom half cant effectively staff the processes that have to be operated,the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear. 35.Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies? A.
42、They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills. B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees own business. C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.. D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition. 36.What is the positio
43、n of the head of human resource management in an American firm? A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm.. B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced. C.He is directly under the chief financial executive. D.He has no authority in
44、 making important decisions in the firm.. 37.The money most American firms spend in training mainly goes to----. Aworkers who can operate new equipment Btechnological and managerial staff Cworkers who lack basic background skills Dtop executives. 38.What is th
45、e main idea of the passage? A.American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human resource management. B.Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective humanresource man agement. C.The head of humanresource management must be in the central position in a fir
46、ms hierarchy.. D.The humanresource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity... Questions 39 to 42 are based on the following passage: Internet is a vast network of computers that connects many of the worlds businesses,institutions,and individual
47、s.The internet,which means interconnected network of networks,links tens of thousands of smaller computer networks.These networks transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words,images,and sounds. The Internet was information on virtually every topic.Network users can search through s
48、ources ranging from vast databases to small electronic"bulletin boards ,"where users form discussion groups around common interests.Much of the Internets traffic consists of messages sent from one computer user to another.These messages are called electronic mail or email.Internet users have elect
49、ronic addresses that allow them to send and receive email.Other uses of the network include obtaining news,joining electronic debates,and playing electronic games.One feature of the Internet,known as the World Wide Web,provides graphics,audio,and video to enhance the information in its documents.These documents cover a vast number of topics. People usually access the Internet with a device called a modem.Modems conn
