According to the statistics of the Organization of Trade and Development of the United Nations, there are several swindling acts each month and swindling causes a loss of up to billions of US dollars annually. In 1959,the swindle of Coffee in Costa Rica paralyzed the country''s economy for a certain period of time. At the urgent request of the international business community, the Organization of Trade and Development of the United Nations held two special meetings in 1984 and 1985 in Geneva to deal with the problem, but no agreement were reached.
B
Generally speaking, there is little opportunity for the swindlers to take advantage in the trading of complete sets of equipment or transfer of technology, while commodity transactions are most vulnerable to swindling. As long as such commodities as steel, cement, fertilizer and chemicals are identical in specification, model, pattern, or chemical composition, as long as the price is favorable and delivery is prompt, the buyer seldom sends any mission abroad to inspect the goods. Swindlers often take advantage of these factors and resell the goods to make profits.
C
Swindlers can also, by taking advantage of natural calamities such as storm and submerged reefs, forge and reported sea accidents. Then, they remove and resell the goods for huge profits. Since the cargo is not received, the buyer claims against insurance company. Therefore, the final victimized is the insurance company. Generally speaking, the carrier, captain and seaman collaborate with one another to commit this kind of economic crime. Afterwards, they sell the ship and the goods and abscond. If goods are carried on the ship, the insurance is one of the victims in this case.
D
The criminals sometimes swindle money from the buyer by forging commercial documents. Upon presentation of the bill of lading, the buyer cannot get the goods after he has paid according to the contract. The seller can sometimes lose money in a contract that stipulates payment after the arrival of goods or by bank collection. In most cases, the criminals first win the seller''s trust by doing some successful trade transactions with him. Then he manages to acquire a large deal by signing a contract that stipulates payment after the arrival of the goods or by bank collection. As soon as he receives the goods, the buyer sells the goods and absconds with the money.
E
In order to prevent international swindling, we suggest the following measures: Firstly, we should promote education and maintain sharp vigilance in international trade transactions. Secondly, we should carefully investigate the credit status before the conclusion of a contract. Thirdly, we should draft every clause of the contract properly since the contract is the only legal document for the execution of transaction and the settlement of the dispute. Lastly, we should supervise the loading of the goods and keep a close watch on the movements of the carrying vessel.

单选题 ·Read the following article about CTO(Chief Technology
Officer)and the questions. ·For each question(15-20),mark one
letter(A,B,C or D)on your Answer Sheet.
Of the many things a CTO(Chief Technology
Officer)must do to be successful,the one that can never be neglected is
simple:maintaining focus on helping your company produce revenue and profits.On
a purely superficial level,this sounds like the job of the CEO or vice president
of sales,but successful CTOs know that being closely involved in the revenue
game is the key ingredient to the growth of your company and your career.
For some technology staff aspiring to the CTO position,there is
a sense that getting too close to the money sullies the purity of the greater
technology mission Of building elegant products and systems.This may be true in
an academic environment,but in the corporate world,those elegant products and
systems need to help produce a profit.The CTO works at the strategic
intersection of technology and business,and the unique talents of the CTO mean
that he or she can leverage technology for the good of the business like no one
else on the executive team. To drive revenue in a company,the
CTO must work as 3 partner with the CEO and vice president of sales.Quite
often,the tech leaders in an organization sit back and wait for executive
managers to tell them what to do and then deliver requirements.A successful CTO
realizes that the process of working through ideas for new products and services
demands his or her participation from idea origination to final implementation.
While working as a partner with key executives at a company,the
CTO should also keep in close contact with the sales staff members who are out
talking to customers on a regular basis.Asking three simple questions of sales
staff on a regular basis helps keep the CTO in the loop on the realities of
external market conditions:1)What are our customers asking for today?2)What are
customers looking for in the next 90 days?And 3)How do customers envision their
needs developing in the next year to 18 months?These answers help the CTO with
budgeting,strategic planning,and product development,and most
importantly,helping to drive revenue and profitability over the short and long
term. Finally,as an externally facing executive,the CTO must
always have time for existing and potential customers.This means accompanying
your sales staff on sales calls and understanding the challenges that your
customers face.The CTO can then use the feedback to help the company serve
customers more effectively and drive revenue.That's what it's a11 about.

单选题· Read the following profile of Bruce Petter, the new Director of the
Management Consultants Association (MCA), and the questions on the opposite
page.· For each question (15-20), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your
Answer Sheet.
Bruce Petter has not always been an
executive. He started his career pumping petrol at a filling station, as he
explains: 'After I left the army, my friend's father, who was Managing Director
of a petrol company, recommended that I go into the oil industry. My great-
uncle was running our own family petrol company, and I learnt the ropes at a
petrol station. I subsequently married the daughter of the Marketing Director
but this did not make for the happiest of scenarios. Depending on which side of
the family they came from, my relatives thought I should support either my
great-uncle or my farther-in-law, so I decided the time had come for me to leave
the warring factions to fight it out among themselves and move on.'
He became founding Director of the Petrol Retailers Association. But after
a few years he decided, 'I was getting to the stage where I wanted to move on
again, so when I heard about the Management Consultants Association (MCA) post,
I applied.' He was aware that the selection process for the head
of any trade association would, by definition, be protracted because of the
difficulty of getting very busy people with mainstream business interests
together. The association had 30 member companies at the time, representing a
large proportion of the best-known names in the sector, and 'they all wanted to
have a look at this individual who had applied to represent their interests, so
I saw an awful lot of the membership'. His principal area of
expertise, he feels, is in running a trade association and the briefing that he
has been handed suggests that this will be of prime value. 'If you were to ask
me if I was ever going to be an expert management consultant, the answer would
be no. But I am, I hope, able to articulate their views, to push through
policies they want to see in operation and to improve their image. I hope to
make management consultancy a powerful voice in government and
industry.' The President of the MCA confirms what landed Petter
the job. 'We saw a lot of people, but there were three things in particular that
impressed us about Brace. His experience of running a trade association was key
and it seemed to us that he had a good understanding of how to relate to and
inspire a membership made up of very busy partners, often in very large but also
some considerably smaller firms. We are also aware that management consultancy
is not always portrayed in a favourable light and he has done quite a bit of
work on public image and has some very positive views in this area.'
So, Mr Petter has taken over from retiring Director Brian O'Rorke, and a
change of mood is now in the air. O'Rorke was at the helm for 13 years and his
successor is reticent when it comes to predicting how his own approach will
differ. 'Brian did a magnificent job of sustaining the Association, of holding
it together through thick and thin.' I detect a 'but' in his voice. But? 'I
think if you ask anybody who or what the MCA was under his direction, the
temptation would be to say "Brian O'Rorke". 'Petter feels his own style will be
very much determined by the objectives of the members: he sees himself as a
channel for those aims. 'I don't want the MCA to be perceived as Bruce Petter's
empire, but rather the members' empire,' he says. Mr Petter clearly has a
difficult task ahead, but many of his staff will welcome a more open, modem
style and there's every indication he will be a
success.

单选题A. However, the term is also commonly used for markets in which economic intervention and regulation by the state is limited to tax collection, and enforcement of private ownership and contracts. Free markets differ from situations encountered in controlled markets or a monopoly, which can introduce price deviations without any changes to supply and demand. B. A free-market economy is one within which all markets are unregulated by any parties other than market participants. In its purest form, the government plays a neutral role in its ad ministration and legislation of economic activity, neither limiting it nor actively promoting it. C. By definition, buyers and sellers do not coerce each other, in the sense that they obtain each other's property rights without the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or fraud, nor are they coerced by a third party. D. Where substantial state intervention exists, the market is a mixed economy. Where the state or co-operative association of producers directly manages the economy to achieve stated goals, economic planning is said to be in effect; when economic planning entirely substitutes market activity, the economy is a Command economy. E. The freer the market, the more truly the prices will reflect consumer habits and demands, and the more valuable the information in these prices is to all players in the economy. Through free competition between vendors for the provision of products and services, prices tend to decrease, and quality tends to increase.

While management consultants (22) companies on many aspects of running a business, basic decision-making is often (23) out of the equation. Professor Larry Phillips, who teaches at the London School of Economics, says: 'Because we make decisions all the time, it is (24) that we know how to do it.' It is a skill which is supposed to come (25) but many of us would fare better with coaching.

For instance, you will see manufacturing departments which are (29) by the sales income they achieve - but the sales price is set by someone else. Managers will often be blamed by their bosses for a downturn in commercial activity when the true culprit is market conditions. 'There is a failure to understand variability,' says Phillips, who bemoans the (30) tendency to judge companies by their last quarter's results alone.
