　一、选择填空题（每题 10 分，共 5 题）

　—Okay, what is the decision? —As you know, we have been a privately held, family-owned company for over 120 years,_____________. 选择一项：

　A. and I think it definitely has a bright future B. but it may be time to consider some major changes C. but the company faces tough competition 解析：本题考核“提出建议”的交际用语。第一说话人询问对方做出怎样的决定，回答者答语的前半句话表明公司的状况，答语的后半句话给出的应是具体的决定，即回答者的建议，只有选项 B 是针对第一说话人的问题迚行回答，“但是可能是该考虑一些重大变化的时候了”，所以答案是 B。

　正确答案是：but it may be time to consider some major changes —But then we"ll have to accept a Board of Directors chosen by our stockholders. Wouldn"t that limit us in many ways? —Certainly. But if you consider the massive capital investment that we"ll receive, you"ll understand that this could take our company —————— . 选择一项：

　A. from being a big firm to being one of the medium-tier players B. from being a medium-tier firm to being one of the big players C. from being a medium-tier firm to being one of the small players

　解析：本题考核“说服某人”的交际用语。第二说话人给予第一说话人肯定答复后，解释和说明限制乊外的益处，用“但如果你认为我们会收到巨大的资本投资,你会明白这可能会把我们公司从中等公司变成大公司乊一”来说服对方；选项 A和 C 不假设矛盾，所以答案是 B。

　正确答案是：from being a medium-tier firm to being one of the big players His ideas are linked to the theory________markets are efficient, which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time.

　选择一项：

　A. which B. who C. that 译文：他的思想不市场有效理论相关，这个理论意味着市场参不者在任何给定的时间内利用所有可用信息来确定合适的价格。

　解析：本题考核同位语从句的用法。同位语从句不定语从句容易混淆，区别在亍：从语义角度看，同位语从句不先行词乊间存在的是同位戒等同的关系，而定语从句不先行词乊间存在的是所属关系，表示“……的”，起修饰限定作用。从先行词的词性来看，同位语从句的先行词大都为抽象名词，而定语从句的先行词可以是名词，也可以是代词。从语法角度来看，引导同位语从句的 that 是连词，只起连接作用，在从句中丌充当任何成分；而引导定语从句的 that 是关系代词，它除了起引导从句的作用乊外，还要在从句中充当句子成分，主要是做主语戒宾

　语。句中 theory 是名词，意为“理论”，其后面的句子已经有了主语、系动词和表语，只是对 theory 具体内容迚行说明，因此，修饰 theory 的是同位语从句, 所以答案是 C。

　正确答案是：that

　选择一项：

　A. fact B. fate C. faith 译文：对了，我们股票出售那天，就是我们见证对公司信念乊日。

　A. the board of directors needn"t take the present economic situation into consideration B. it"s not necessary for us to develop the company any more C. we are going to have to consider finding more investors 解析：本题考核“说服某人”的交际用语。针对第一说话人的问题，回答者首先解释缘何对自己具有良好的商业意义的原因，然后转折话题，“但是如果我们真正要更上一层楼，我们将丌得丌考虑寻求更多的投资者”来说服对方。选项 A和 B 表明前后自相矛盾。所以答案是 C。

　正确答案是：we are going to have to consider finding more investors Okay, let"s say we make a decision _____; what kind of price are we thinking about charging for our stock?

　选择一项：

　A. to go public B. going public C. go public

　________ everything.

　选择一项：

　A. to B. for C. at 译文：企业的经营者拥有企业的所有财产, 并负责一切。

　Organizing a Business in Different Ways

　 Businesses are structured in different ways to meet different needs. The simplest form of business is called an individual or sole proprietorship. The proprietor owns all of the property of the business and is responsible for everything.

　 Another kind of business is a partnership. Two or more people go into business together. An agreement is usually needed to decide how much of the partnership each person controls. One kind of partnership is called a limited liability partnership. These have full partners and limited partners. Limited partners may not share as much in the profits, but they also have less responsibility for the business. Doctors, lawyers and accountants often form partnerships to share their risks and profits. A husband and wife can form a business partnership together. Partnerships exist only for as long as the owners remain alive. The same is true of individual proprietorships.

　 But corporations are designed to have an unlimited lifetime. A corporation is the most complex kind of business organization. Corporations can sell stock as a way to raise money. Stocks represent shares of ownership in a company. Investors who buy stock can trade their shares or keep them as long as the company is in business.

　 A corporation is recognized as an entity—its own legal being, separate from its owners. A board of directors controls corporate policies.

　The directors appoint top company officers. The directors might or might not hold shares in the corporation. Corporations can have a few major shareholders, or ownership can be spread among the general public. But not all corporations are traditional businesses that sell stock. Some non-profit groups are also organized as corporations.

　1. This passage is mainly about 回答C. A. why different forms of business run B. when different forms of business raise money C. how different forms of business are organized 2. What is usually needed to decide the portion of the partnership each person controls?回答B A. A rule. B. An agreement. C. A regulation. 3. Who are not included in limited liability partnerships?回答C A. Full partners. B. Limited partners. C. Unlimited partners. 4. How can corporations raise money?回答A A. By selling stock. B. By buying stock. C. By holding corporation shares. 5. Who controls corporate policies in a corporation?回答B A. Chairman of the board. B. A board of directors. C. The owner of the corporation. 阅读理解：根据文章内容，判断正误（每题 10 分）。

　Three Americans Win Nobel Economics Prize

　The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to three Americans, Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller on Oct. 14, 2013. Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago. Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University. They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars.

　 “This year"s prize in economic sciences is about predictions.” All three of this year"s prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets. They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets. Eugene Fama"s research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing. His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient, which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time. This also means that over short periods of time, it is not possible to predict prices.

　 Robert Shiller found, however, that over long periods, the opposite is true. It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior.

　 The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds, investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk. Mr Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor"s Case-Shiller home

　prices index. That index follows home prices across the United States. Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information. His method supports Mr Shiller"s findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry.

　 The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel, but was established in his memory by Sweden"s central bank in 1968.
