Last year spending on mobile ads was $ 871 million worldwide according to lnforma Telecoms & Media, a research firm, compared with $ 24 billion spent on internet advertising and $450 billion spent on all advertising. But marketers are hailing the mobile phone as advertising's promised land. It is destined, some say, to replace not only internet advertising,the latest fad, but also television, radio, print and billboards, the four traditional pillars of the business.BThe 2.5 billion mobile phones around the world can potentially reach a much bigger audience than the planet's billion or so personal computers. The number of mobile phones in use is also growing much faster than the number of computers, especially in poorer countries. Furthermore, most people carry their mobile with them everywhere—something that cannot be said of television or computers.CYet the biggest selling point of mobile ads is what marketing types call ' relevance' . Advertisers believe that about half of all traditional advertising does not reach the right audience. But mobile advertising through text messages is the most focused: if marketers use mobile firms' profiles of their customers cleverly enough, they can tailor their advertisements to match each subscriber's habits.DIn September, Blyk, a new mobile operator, launched a service in Britain that aims to do just that. It offers subscribers 2]7 free text messages and 43 free minutes of voice calls per month as long as they agree to receive six advertisements by text message every day. To sign up for the service,customers must fill out a questionnaire about their hobbies and habits. So advertisers can target their messages very precisely. ' Britain is the largest, but also the trickiest European ad market, so if it works here it will work everywhere,' says Pekka Ala-Pietila, chief executive and one of the founders of Blyk.Customers are rewarded in return for text message advertisements on their mobile phones.【正确答案】:D【本题分数】:1.0分【答案解析】“顾客因为手机上的短信广告而得到一定的回报。

What is licensing? Why do firms sometimes choose it as means of entering a foreign market?5. In licensing, a firm leases the right to use its intellectual property to a firm in another country.Firms choose licensing because they do not want to make cash payments to start business, and can simply receive income in the form of royalty. Besides, they can benefit from locational advantages of foreign operation without any obligations in ownership or management.What is franchising? How is it different from licensing?6. Under franchising, a firm, called the franchisee, is allowed to operate in the name of another, called thefranchiser who provides the former with trademarks, brand name, logos, and operating techniques for royalty.In comparison with the relation between the licenser and the licensee, the franchiser has more control over and provides more support for the franchisee.What is a management contract?

S. begin to realise that investors demand financial reporting to be truly presented: creative accounting is no longer acceptable. In response to the criticism about how it booked the gain on the sale of one of its businesses. IBM announced on Feb. 19th that it would expand the informaton it provides investors on such things as its intellectual-property income and the impact on earnings of the company's overfunded pension plan. And a day later, General Electric Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey R. Immelt also pay heed to investors' calls for better disclosure by promising to provide more detail on how the company's individual units—including its finance departrment. GE Capital—churn out their earnings.B Expect this lifting of the veil to spread rapidly throughout corporate America, In the wake of Enron's collapse and questionable accounting at telecommunications companies such as Global Crossing Ltd., investors are demanding better. more frequent, and more expansive information about companies' financial health. This rising pressure will force executives in boardrooms across the country to wrestle with exactly how much new information to reveal, much less the question of how to flag changes for investors without causing their stocks to tank. "GE and IBM are bellwethers," says Patrick S. McGurn, vice-president at proxy advisory service Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. "You will see a huge wave of imitation."C Of course, that's good for shareholders—and for the long-term health of the market, But the tsunami of new disclosures, unfortunately, isn't necessarily what the recovering economy needs right now. The trick will be to strike the right balance. Companies that reveal too little, too late will get punished in the market. But dumping too much on shareholders may only muddy the picture further. "If you give too much information, people can get overwhelmed by the minutia, and the important stuff gets buried." says Charles M. Elson, director of the Centre for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware.D In fact, IBM and GE join a growing list of companies that have already been compelled to improve their disclosure, At Tyco International Ltd., which has been buffeted by concerns about its complex accounting and financial health, senior execs have begun holding weekly phone conferences with analysts and investors to address questions about its accounting and operations. Franchising giant Cendant Corp. has put detailed information on its Website about its off-balance-sheet entities, while hotel operator Marriott International Inc. recently provided details on write-offs it has taken for loan guarantees as well as some hotel-development projects. More and more companies are forced to illustrate their accounting.【正确答案】:D【本题分数】:1.0分【答案解析】[题干题点] …more and more…are forced to…[对应线索] …a growing list of…have been compelled to…[答案精解] 题目意为:越来越多的公司被迫说明自己的账目情况。

That was the year Ford decided to promote auto safety. The company introduced a safety package that included crash padding for thedashboard. The factory had sent along a film for us to show the dealers, which was supposed to explain just how much safer the new padding was in the event that a passenger hit his head on the dash. To illustrate the point, the narrator of the film claimed the padding was so thick that if you dropped an egg on it from a two-storey building, the egg would bounce right off without breaking.I was fascinated. Instead of having the salesmen learn about the safety padding from the film, I would make the point far more dramatically by actually dropping an egg onto the padding. About eleven hundred men sat in the audience at the regional sales meeting as I began to make my pitch about the terrific new safety padding we were offering in our 1956 models. I had spread strips of padding across the stage, and now I climbed on a high ladder with a carton of fresh eggs.The very first egg I dropped missed the padding altogether and splattered on the wooden floor. The audience roared with delight. I took more careful aim with the second egg, but my assistant, who was holding the ladder, chose this moment to move in the wrong direction. As a result, the egg bounced off his shoulder. This, too, was greeted with wild applause.The third and fourth eggs landed exactly where they were supposed to. Unfortunately, they broke on impact. Finally, with the fifth egg, I achieved the desired result--- and got a long applause. I learned two lessons that day. First, never use eggs at a sales rally. And second, never go before your customers without rehearsing what you want to say --- as well as what you’re going to do --- to help sell your product.46.What job did the writer do?A. He was an auto engineer.B. He was a regional sales manager.C. He was an artist.D. He was a teacher.47.According to the passage, Ford company then wanted to promote .A. auto safetyB. crash paddingC. sales in the regionD. its production48.The writer wanted to show .A. the quality of eggsB. the idea of safety better than in the filmC. how easy it was to break eggs on the new paddingD. how hard it was to create a positive feeling in the sales meeting49.The third and fourth eggs .A. landed on the padding and brokeB. landed on the padding but did not breakC. landed on the stage and brokeD. landed on the shoulder of the assistant50.What did the writer learn from this lesson?A. Be more careful to sell eggs.B. Repeat what the customer says in a sales demonstration.C. Practice what he is going to do or say before he does or says it.D. Practice what the customer says before he says it.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In international commerce, payment for goods and services usually involves the currencies of more than one country, and the problem of which currency to use can become a serious barrier to completing a deal. There would be no problem if the currency of a seller’s country could always be bought and sold at a fixed and invariable price compared to the money of a buyer’s country. However, in most cases, the relative value of currencies is constantly changing, and some are quite volatile.If the value of a currency changes between the time a deal is made and the time payment is made it could have serious impact on the profitability of a transaction. For example, if a trader has made a deal to be paid in a foreign currency and that currency devalues before payment is made, the trader will receive less value for the goods than originally anticipated. Of course it is also true that extra profits could be made if the foreign currency increases in value. In any event, this is a risk most traders would prefer to avoid.There are many ways of dealing with foreign exchange risk and the simplest, if you are the seller, is insisting on payment in your own currency. This strategy lays the risk at the buyer’s door, but it may not always be a viable option, and traders may have to accept payment in foreign currency in order to make a sale. If full agreement cannot be reached, it may be possible for both buyer and seller to share the risk by arranging for a portion of the payment to be made in one currency and the remainder in another.If it is absolutely necessary to take on the foreign exchange risk, traders can protect themselves in a number of ways. One way is to build the estimated cost of a currency fluctuation into the deal to guard against potential losses. However, as this is simply an estimate it will rarely fully protect the trader.51.Which of the following is least likely to constitute a barrier to completing a deal?A. There are many currencies in the world.B. The seller and the buyer disagree on the use of a currency.C. The buying and selling prices of the currency of the seller’s country in terms of thecurrency of the buyer’s country are changing violently.D. The relative value of currencies is invariably fluctuating.52.Which of the following statements is true?A. The profitability of a transaction will not be affected if the value of a currency remainsstatic.B. The trader will receive less value for the goods than originally anticipated if the value ofthe foreign currency for the contract is higher at the time of payment than at the time of concluding the deal.C. The trader will receive more value for the goods than originally anticipated if the value ofthe foreign currency for the contract is higher at the time of payment than at the time of concluding the deal.D. Most traders seek to make profits by taking advantage of price fluctuations of currencies. 53.There are many ways of dealing with foreign exchange risk, and the writer suggests in the third paragraph.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four54.A viable option is an option that .A. will enable the trader to develop its businessB. is likely to generate profits for the traderC. can work successfullyD. makes the trader a stronger competitor55.The last paragraph implies that the writer thinks .A. it absolutely necessary that traders take on the foreign exchange riskB. that there are a number of ways by which traders can fully protect themselvesC. that to build the estimated cost of a currency fluctuation into the deal to guard againstpotential losses is a perfect way of protecting tradersD. that traders are unlikely to be fully protected although there are more than one wayavailable to themQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In 1993, American-born Henry Eastman got a call from a recruitment consultancy, inviting him to give up his successful marketing career in one insurance company to become the head of another. This new job was to work for an investment company called Brinscombe’s, who wanted him to create a brand new car insurance company. Despite the risks involved, Eastman agreed.A lot of young drivers in the 20 to 35 age range, especially the ones who have already have had accidents, having difficulty in getting car insurance because most companies think they are too big a risk. However, Eastman believes there are no problems if their annual payments are large enough. He offered them insurance cover through television commercials and attracted many customers by giving out folders in which to keep their policies safe. His strategy was a good one. Within eight years he had built the business into a national company with 500,000 customers and sales of £300 million per year.The company was based in Manchester. The authorities there wanted to increase employment and offered Eastman a £1 million grant to start up after he promised to create 350 new jobs. He is now a major employer in the area with 1,400 staff and has also created new specialist insurance companies for women, credit card users and people using the internet.Eastman believes in American management methods: working as a team to get better results; not being allowed to miss lunch because you are too busy; and having fun. This belief has recently won him a place in a “50 Best Companies to Work For” survey.56.Henry Eastman’s previous job was in .A. recruitmentB. marketingC. investmentD. insurance57.He was offered the opportunity to .A. take over a company called Brinscombe’sB. invest his own money in a new companyC. set up a company for someone elseD. work overseas for an insurance company58.The company’s success is due to .A. refusing insurance to high-risk clientsB. selling cheap insurance policiesC. targeting a particular marketD. selling insurance around the world59.He chose the present company location because .A. financial support was available in that part of the countryB.

This section totals 15 points, one point for each question.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When it rains, it pours, and for me it rained pretty hard in 1956. That was the year Ford decided to promote auto safety. The company introduced a safety package that included crash padding for the dashboard. The factory had sent along a film for us to show the dealers, which was supposed to explain just how much safer the new padding was in the event that a passenger hit his head on the dash. To illustrate the point, the narrator of the film claimed the padding was so thick that if you dropped an egg on it from a two-storey building, the egg would bounce right off without breaking.I was fascinated. Instead of having the salesmen learn about the safety padding from the film, I would make the point far more dramatically by actually dropping an egg onto the padding. About eleven hundred men sat in the audience at the regional sales meeting as I began to make my pitch about the terrific new safety padding we were offering in our 1956 models. I had spread strips of padding across the stage, and now I climbed on a high ladder with a carton of fresh eggs.The very first egg I dropped missed the padding altogether and splattered on the wooden floor. The audience roared with delight. I took more careful aim with the second egg, but my assistant, who was holding the ladder, chose this moment to move in the wrong direction. As a result, the egg bounced off his shoulder. This, too, was greeted with wild applause.The third and fourth eggs landed exactly where they were supposed to. Unfortunately, they broke on impact. Finally, with the fifth egg, I achieved the desired result--- and got a long applause. I learned two lessons that day. First, never use eggs at a sales rally. And second, never go before your customers without rehearsing what you want to say --- as well as what you’re going to do --- to help sell your product.46.What job did the writer do?A. He was an auto engineer.B. He was a regional sales manager.C. He was an artist.D. He was a teacher.47.According to the passage, Ford company then wanted to promote .A. auto safetyB. crash paddingC. sales in the regionD. its production48.The writer wanted to show .A. the quality of eggsB. the idea of safety better than in the filmC. how easy it was to break eggs on the new paddingD. how hard it was to create a positive feeling in the sales meeting49.The third and fourth eggs .A. landed on the padding and brokeB. landed on the padding but did not breakC. landed on the stage and brokeD. landed on the shoulder of the assistant50.What did the writer learn from this lesson?A. Be more careful to sell eggs.B. Repeat what the customer says in a sales demonstration.C. Practice what he is going to do or say before he does or says it.D. Practice what the customer says before he says it.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In international commerce, payment for goods and services usually involves the currencies ofmore than one country, and the problem of which currency to use can become a serious barrier to completing a deal. There would be no problem if the currency of a seller’s country could always be bought and sold at a fixed and invariable price compared to the money of a buyer’s country. However, in most cases, the relative value of currencies is constantly changing, and some are quite volatile.If the value of a currency changes between the time a deal is made and the time payment is made it could have serious impact on the profitability of a transaction. For example, if a trader has made a deal to be paid in a foreign currency and that currency devalues before payment is made, the trader will receive less value for the goods than originally anticipated. Of course it is also true that extra profits could be made if the foreign currency increases in value. In any event, this is a risk most traders would prefer to avoid.There are many ways of dealing with foreign exchange risk and the simplest, if you are the seller, is insisting on payment in your own currency. This strategy lays the risk at the buyer’s door, but it may not always be a viable option, and traders may have to accept payment in foreign currency in order to make a sale. If full agreement cannot be reached, it may be possible for both buyer and seller to share the risk by arranging for a portion of the payment to be made in one currency and the remainder in another.If it is absolutely necessary to take on the foreign exchange risk, traders can protect themselves in a number of ways. One way is to build the estimated cost of a currency fluctuation into the deal to guard against potential losses. However, as this is simply an estimate it will rarely fully protect the trader.51.Which of the following is least likely to constitute a barrier to completing a deal?A. There are many currencies in the world.B. The seller and the buyer disagree on the use of a currency.C. The buying and selling prices of the currency of the seller’s country in terms of thecurrency of the buyer’s country are changing violently.D. The relative value of currencies is invariably fluctuating.52.Which of the following statements is true?A. The profitability of a transaction will not be affected if the value of a currency remainsstatic.B. The trader will receive less value for the goods than originally anticipated if the value ofthe foreign currency for the contract is higher at the time of payment than at the time of concluding the deal.C. The trader will receive more value for the goods than originally anticipated if the value ofthe foreign currency for the contract is higher at the time of payment than at the time of concluding the deal.D. Most traders seek to make profits by taking advantage of price fluctuations of currencies. 53.There are many ways of dealing with foreign exchange risk, and the writer suggests in the third paragraph.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four54.A viable option is an option that .A. will enable the trader to develop its businessB. is likely to generate profits for the traderC. can work successfullyD. makes the trader a stronger competitor55.The last paragraph implies that the writer thinks .A. it absolutely necessary that traders take on the foreign exchange riskB. that there are a number of ways by which traders can fully protect themselvesC. that to build the estimated cost of a currency fluctuation into the deal to guard againstpotential losses is a perfect way of protecting tradersD. that traders are unlikely to be fully protected although there are more than one wayavailable to themQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In 1993, American-born Henry Eastman got a call from a recruitment consultancy, inviting him to give up his successful marketing career in one insurance company to become the head of another. This new job was to work for an investment company called Brinscombe’s, who wanted him to create a brand new car insurance company. Despite the risks involved, Eastman agreed.A lot of young drivers in the 20 to 35 age range, especially the ones who have already have had accidents, having difficulty in getting car insurance because most companies think they are too big a risk. However, Eastman believes there are no problems if their annual payments are large enough. He offered them insurance cover through television commercials and attracted many customers by giving out folders in which to keep their policies safe. His strategy was a good one. Within eightyears he had built the business into a national company with 500,000 customers and sales of £300 million per year.The company was based in Manchester. The authorities there wanted to increase employment and offered Eastman a £1 million grant to start up after he promised to create 350 new jobs. He is now a major employer in the area with 1,400 staff and has also created new specialist insurance companies for women, credit card users and people using the internet.Eastman believes in American management methods: working as a team to get better results; not being allowed to miss lunch because you are too busy; and having fun. This belief has recently won him a place in a “50 Best Companies to Work For” survey.56.Henry Eastman’s previous job was in .A. recruitmentB. marketingC. investmentD. insurance57.He was offered the opportunity to .A. take over a company called Brinscombe’sB. invest his own money in a new companyC. set up a company for someone elseD. work overseas for an insurance company58.The company’s success is due to .A. refusing insurance to high-risk clientsB. selling cheap insurance policiesC. targeting a particular marketD. selling insurance around the world59.He chose the present company location because .A. financial support was available in that part of the countryB.
