The following appeared as part of an article in a computer magazine. “A year ago Apex Manufacturing bought its managers computers for their homes and paid for telephone connections so that the managers could access Apex computers and data files from home after normal business hours. Since last year, productivity at Apex has increased by 15 percent. Other companies can learn from the success at Apex: given home computers and access to company resources, employees will work additional hours at home and thereby increase company profits.”

7. 阅读出现在第三题, 隔了一道CR 紧接着又是一篇RC. 第三篇出现在大概20题左右. 第四篇出现在30.

(1) RC: GWD V4 - Q35-37 (dim galaxy)

(2) RC: GWD V24 – Q3-6 (Biocontrol agents)

(3) RC: GWD V3 – Q36 & 37, GWD V5 – Q6 & 7

(4) RC: Clusters (120 行!!!)

First paragraph: some argue that global market and long distance network would make “location” less important to a business success.

Second paragraph: the author rejects such view by listing the advantages of clustering of business such as readily available worker pool in specialized areas, stable and larger supplied bases, lower local inputs (without transaction costs compared to long distance inputs), etc.

Third paragraph: the author contend there might be some drawbacks about cluster such as… But he argues there are more benefits such as…that would outweigh the drawbacks.

- Question 1: the author would most like agree with which statement regarding the increasing global market and faster transportation?

1. nullify…

2. little effect on clusters (my key, since in the second paragraph the author talks about how cluster business can attain most of the input locally)

3. crucial to certain clusters

4. crucial to all clusters

- Question 2: the purpose of the third paragraph?

My key: the author point out some of the objections that others might have

- Question 3: Which would the author agree with about local input and long distance input?

My key: long distance input would force local input to lower its price (answer can be found in the third paragraph: “…force local suppliers to offer competitive prices”)

- Question 4: What is true about business in the past?

My key: I can’t remember, but answer can found in the first paragraph. The key should be articulated in a way similar to “the most important input to get raw materials…” in the article.
