填空题·Read the extract below from an article about the coffee industry.·Choose the best sentence from A to C to fill each of the blanks.·For each blank (8-12) mark one letter (A- G) on your Answer Sheet.·Do not mark any letter twice. Coffee is worth approximately ＄50 -60bn per annum in terms of world sales. It is a truly international commodity, and today more than 50 countries in the world grow coffee beans, This makes the coffee industry fairly universal, according to Pablo Dubois, Head of the International Coffee Organization (ICO), based in London. ICO organization helps coffee producers and promotes coffee consumption worldwide. ICO estimates that world production next year will reach 97. 5 million bags. 11. 3 million bags higher than the current year. {{U}}(8) {{/U}}. As the largest producing country, Brazil is particularly important in the coffee world. In 1994 Brazil was responsible for 25% of world production. Colombia was next with 13.4%. Indonesia had 7.5%, Mexico 4.7%, Guatemala 3.8% and Ethiopia and Vietnam were equal with 3.4%. Coffee is a tough crop, and can be grown in areas where it is difficult or impossible to grow other crops. {{U}}(9) {{/U}} However, disease is always a problem for coffee production, as we can see in some parts of South America at the moment. ICO is active in educating farmers about avoiding disease and dealing with problems when they occur. The distribution chain varies from country to country, explains Peter Reeves. In most countries the smaller farmers sell their crop to a local trader, who then sells it on to exporters. There are, however, other distribution systems. {{U}}(10) {{/U}}. Some countries, like Vietnam. have special government marketing organizations for coffee. Coffee prices often vary greatly from one year to me next. In 2003, for example, there was a large rise in the world price, which was immediately felt by me consumer. Rising prices always result in a drop in sales, which will have a bad effect on those developing countries. which are highly dependent on foreign exchange from coffee exports {{U}}(11) {{/U}}. In the opinion of Peter Reeves, the biggest problem for his organization is to create greater consumer awareness of the different varieties of coffee and different ways of preparing it. {{U}}(12) {{/U}}. ICO is therefore concentrating its promotional activities on Russia and China. It is also encouraging environmentally friendly coffee production, and last year's seminar on coffee and the environment created a lot of interest. The future looks bright for the coffee industry. It is estimated that consumption over the next few years will continue to rise steadily. New markets like Eastern Europe and China are expected to develop fast.A. As a result, the membership now represents 94% of all exporters and 60% of all importers.B. In some of these countries, this can amount to as much as 50% of all export earnings.C. In North America, most consumers already have above average knowledge of the range available.D. Larger coffee growers, for example, frequently export directly.E. The main reason for this is higher Brazilian output as production recovers from weather damage to crops.F. It is cultivated in mountain regions which can only be reached by animal transport, and in other difficult areas where modern agricultural equipment cannot be used.G. This makes the coffee industry fairly universal, according to Pablo Dubois, Head of the International Coffee Organization (ICO), based in London.

填空题Pricing and the Psychology of Consumption Ask any executive how pricing policies influence the demand for a product or service, and you'll get a confident, well-reasoned reply。Ask that same executive how pricing policies affect consumption—the extent to which customers use products or services that they've (19) for—and you'll get a muted response at best. It is found that managers rarely, if ever, think about consumption when they (20) prices—and that be an (21) oversight.

填空题Budgeting A Budgeting in a business sense is the planned allocation of available funds to each department within a company. Budgeting allows executives to control overspending in less productive areas and put more company assets into areas which generate significant income or good public relations. Budgeting is usually handled during meetings with accountants, financial experts and representatives from each department affected by the budgeting. B In a personal financing sense, budgeting can mean estimating monthly living expenses based on previous bills and wages. If your monthly income is a steady $3000, for example, you can subtract all of your known monthly bills from that figure even before they arrive. Some bills can be estimated and subtracted from the original income figure. The remaining balance after fixed expenses now becomes your household budget. Instead of assigning dollar amounts for sundries such as groceries, entertainment, gas and clothing, budgeting allows you to use percentages instead. C The key to successful budgeting is both flexibility and inflexibility. Certain expenses are fixed, so payment of those bills should be an inflexible element. Nothing is more important than paying those particular bills in full. In business, departments need to know the absolute ceiling on spending. Budgeting works best when very few exceptions are made to the upper limits. The idea of fiscal responsibility is to form a workable budget and stick to it as well as possible. D Budgeting also requires an element of flexibility. It isn't always possible to assign a fixed dollar amount on a project in January and expect the budget to remain stable in July. There are always unexpected events which can drastically change the priorities of a company or an individual. Without flexible budgeting, money allocated for one purpose could not be reallocated during a fiscal emergency. An unexpected drop in sales revenue in March can affect the budgeting plans in November, so accountants and financial officers need to adjust their figures regularly.

When an organization doesn't work right, executives are often quick to blame for "people problems". But that's wrongheaded, If an organization is not suited34 to the skills and attitudes of its members, the problem lies in with the design,35 not the people. For this test, first look at your key players -- the members of the36 top management team and other individuals are deemed critical to the business.37 For each, ask them whether the design provides the appropriate responsibilities38 and reporting relationships and wins their commitment. If so, for example, your39 CEO is a marketing type one and the design focuses her attention on40 performance management, you have got a problem. Now look at the pivotal41 jobs in the design -- the position that will need to be staffed by highly talented42 people even if the organization is to work well. Typically, these will include the43 heads of all key business units and the managers of all functions who involved44 in critical cross-unit relationships . Do you have the career paths ready and 45 development initiatives needed to create it and retain new talent for tomorrow? Do you have outstanding people to staff these jobs today?
