填空题A.Bank of America announced that it was ready to repay the $ 45 billion it received in government bail-out money, which will finance by selling $ 18. 8 billion in securities and tapping $ 26.2 billion of "excess liquidity". The bank had to demonstrate to the Treasury that it was stable enough to obtain investment through the markets. By exiting the Troubled Asset Relief Programme, BofA will be free of many of the restrictions imposed on it, including on executive pay, which is said to be hampering the bank from appointing a successor to the outgoing chief executive, Kenneth Lewis.B.The Bank of Japan held an emergency meeting following pressure from the government to take steps to counter deflation and the strengthening yen; the currency recently hit a 14-year high against the dollar. The central bank announced a ¥10 trillion ($115 billion) programme of new lending in three-month funds at a rate of 0.1% , which as officials said was similar to the quantitative-easing measures it employed earlier this decade to fight deflation. But the sum fell short of market expectations.C.Directors at the Royal Bank of Scotland threatened to resign if the British Treasury prevented them from paying £1.5 billion ($ 2.5 billion) in bonuses at its investment-banking unit. Some British bankers have stepped up their criticism of what they say is overbearing government influence in matters of pay and compensation.D.Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, revealed how close Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS came to collapse in October 2008. After Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, both banks had trouble raising funds in the markets and turned to the central bank, which lent them £ 62 billion ( $103 billion) in emergency aid. Mr. King revealed the details of the rescue now because both companies are considered to be stable. In 2007, news that Northern Rock received loans from the state led to a run on the bank.E.The European Central Bank said it would tighten its rating standards for the asset-backed securities that euro-area banks use as collateral when seeking liquidity from the central bank. The move forms part of the ECB's plan gradually to withdraw the emergency measures it introduced during the financial crisis.

填空题{{B}}PART ONE{{/B}} ·Look at the statements below and at the
five extracts from an article about broadening corporate
responsibility. ·Which extract (A, B, C, D or E) does each
statement (1-8) refer to? ·For each statement (1-8), mark one
letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet. ·You will need to
use some of these letters more than once.
A Executives are coming to understand that
they can't meet their corporate responsibility simply by maximizing shareholder
value. Last year Price water house Coopers surveyed 1,161 chief executive
officers of companies from 33 countries. Some 68 percent of those polled said
that global corporate responsibility was vital to profitability. Meanwhile
citizens around the world have become more vocal in demanding that global
business beheld accountable for conduct that could undermine social,
environmental or economic progress. B Although
markets have encouraged more firms to act in a responsible manner in the global
economy, market forces have not been sufficient to ensure responsible behavior
all of the time. Moreover, the responsible firms that work harder to ensure that
workers or the environment are treated well as they make goods and services
could have higher costs, which may allow other competitors to gain market share.
The right mix of public policies can ensure that responsible firms are not
penalized. C Washington, D. C is drowning in
paper. Congress has voted on proposals to promote corporate responsibility.
Meanwhile, the President, executives and activists are all scurrying about in
search of additional proposals to make executives more accountable for their
companies' financial reports. Given that capitalism today is global as well as
local, the US must work with its allies to write international corporate
governance norms. But we need to use this opportunity to think more broadly
about how to reassure global economic confidence long term. All of the reform
efforts to date focus on a narrow definition of corporate responsibility.
President Bush acknowledged in his July 9th speech, "There is no capitalism
without conscience." That is why the ultimate reform would encourage
corporations to also act responsibility towards their workers and the
environment. D The codes, including ones
promoted by the Department of State-the Voluntary Principles for Security and
Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines, are designed to help business protect
human rights in nations with poor human rights records. Corporate social
responsibility policies can also include EPA regulations that require
corporations to report on their global environmental liabilities. After all, the
costs of cleaning up can be a major drain on corporate profits. But these
policies are not well coordinated or known as CSR policies. Were someone to
compile an overview, we might gain a greater understanding of how such policies
can be made more effective. But there are some policies including tax policies
that encourage firms to shift production or their headquarters to nations with
weaker fiscal or regulatory systems. Other policies that may undermine global
corporate responsibility include corporate welfare and agricultural
protectionism. E The French government recently
overhauled French corporate law and mandated the disclosure of companies' social
and environmental as well as profit performance. This is a good idea. The
British require pension funds to report on the social, environmental, as well as
profit performance of their investments. The Canadian government is also
examining a wide range of public policies to promote CSR. Perhaps the most
interesting development was that in 2001, with funding from the Atkinson
Foundation, five private citizens organized a commission on democracy and
accountability. Their final report issued 25 specific policy recommendations on
promoting global and domestic CSR.

Where do managers come from?{{/B}} Good managers
are not born~ they are made up. An organization acquires
managers mainly in three ways: promoting employees within the organization,
hiring employees from other organizations, and hiring employees out of schools
and universities. 41.Promoting people within the organization
into management positions it can be an 42.excellent idea. It
tends to increase motivation. Promoting from them within can also lead
to 43.problems. While it can build a company loyalty, it may
limit innovation. The new 44.manager may continue the
practices and policies of previous managers. Thus as it is vital
45.to hire outside of people from time to time to bring new ideas into
the organization. 46.Finding managers with the skills,

or department is sometimes difficult. Specialized executive employment
48.agencies often provide with the needed skills to locate viable
candidates from other companies 49.Even though if outside

Entry-level 52.applicants can be screened for their potential
