1.       說是一家media公司，在之前的food-based TVprogram取得了成功，原因可能是經濟繁榮所以大家愿意花在食物上的錢多了-_-!然后公司就決定 明年再開多3個節目，分別是關于參觀，wine和BBQ。公司相信新開三個節目后一定會大大增加收視率，廣告收入和利潤 （题库里没找到）(上个月JJ)1次

 

 

     V2  一个叫CableCom的公司吧  programing 了 food-based 的 Taste Channel 去的了巨大的成功，后来分析（好像啊）说是因为根据economic啦  什么人们的income 怎么怎么好了  所以人们好像是愿意花钱在吃上面了，所以，这个公司plan to expand   barbeque channel   wine channel 什么的，也会去的成功！！（11/18回忆）

 

 

2.       W国的旅游业在近5年收入下降，公园不景气，这是因为环境污染，来W国旅游的人少了。但是，幸运的是W国发现了矿藏，所以W国决定开发矿产。这样既可以提高税收，又可以提供上百个岗位，并且可以带动经济发展。（没找到，还在继续找- -）1次

 

 

V2 是說W主要經濟來源來自於旅遊業然而這個地方的國家公園因為industural pollution導致現在已經不能像以前那樣吸引很多遊者了，所以導致W收入下降。然後有mineal在這個國家公園被發現了所以W打算要開挖所以mining company開挖的話就可以讓之前的旅遊業的員工繼續工作，這樣一來W的收入可以不會持續下降。

 

V3 W这个地方因为污染，国家公园不在吸引游客了，而且公园那里发现了矿物，所以应该开矿以增加税收。

 

 

V4 原本旅游业是国家经济基础，但是由于工业破坏，国家公园的收入降低。 然而公园里发现矿藏，认为政府如果能同意开矿就能够使矿业公司为地区原本从事旅游业的人提供很多职位，并且有利于弥补旅游业衰退的税收。 所以开矿是这个地区经济发展最好的方法

“Throughout the last two decades, those who earned graduate degrees found it very difficult to get jobs teaching their academic specialties at the college level. Those with graduate degrees from Waymarsh University had an especially hard time finding such jobs. But better times are coming in the next decade for all academic job seekers, including those from Waymarsh. Demographic trends indicate that an increasing number of people will be reaching college age over the next 10 years; consequently, we can expect that the job market will improve dramatically for people seeking college-level teaching positions in their fields.” 1次

4.       A software design company incurs loss for 3 years, some manager analyzed that it's because their costs are too high. An auto company has successfully survived and made profits by switching part of the full-time staff to part-time staff. Hence the software company should switch their 25% full-time staff to part-time as part-time is cheaper in salary, no salary benefit. 题库里未找到 1次

 

V2 说有一家叫Ｊ什么的computer software 公司已经三年没有盈利了。而这个时候auto industry的很多公司通过replace full-time employees by temporary labor降低了成本，获得很好的盈利。因此Ｊ也应该效仿，把full-time employees用temporary labor换掉，以达到短期其可以盈利，长期增加公司stability（好像是stability,不知道他们怎么想的）的效果。

 

V3 一个computer software company 连年profit 下跌，就想用temporary labor 代替现有的employee来削减开支。这种消减开支的策略是在auto industry 里用过的，效果很好。而且 temporary labor 工资低，不用提供福利可以减少cost。

“The construction last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City was a mistake. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage, and arrests for crime and vagrancy have increased in the nearby Oak City Park. Elm City should pay attention to the example of the Oak City mall and deny the application to build a shopping mall in Elm City.”2次fficeffice" />

“Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.”

“Eight years ago, our firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee we added. We discovered that each employee had the skills and motivation to generate more revenue for the firm than his or her salary cost us. However, for the past two years, our profit margin has been falling, even though we have continued to add employees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We must not be hiring new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract. Clearly, then, failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits.”fficeffice" />

“The Saluda Consolidated High School offers more than 200 different courses from which its students can choose. A much smaller private school down the street offers a basic curriculum of only 80 different courses, but it consistently sends a higher proportion of its graduating seniors on to college than Consolidated does. By eliminating at least half of the courses offered there and focusing on a basic curriculum, we could improve student performance at Consolidated and also save many tax dollars.”

12.官方题库第5页第三题

“Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.”

“Currently, more professional accountants use SmartPro accounting software than any other brand. However, in the market for personal accounting software for non-professionals to use in preparing their income tax returns, many of our competitors are outselling us. In surveys, our professional customers repeatedly say that they have chosen SmartPro Software because our most sophisticated software products include more advanced special features than competing brands. Therefore, the most effective way for us to increase sales of our personal accounting software for home users would clearly be to add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer.”3次

“When the Apogee Company had all its operations in one location, it was more profitable than it is today. Therefore, the Apogee Company should close down its field offices and conduct all its operations from a single location.

“After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by its members. Therefore, in order to increase membership in Take Heart, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.”

Since Disc Depot, the music store on the next block, began a new radio advertising campaign last year, its business has grown dramatically, as evidenced by the large increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s owners have apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s Clothing have remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our sales and profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to frequent radio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.

“Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increases over the past two years. Capital Idea should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o’-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each and maximize our return.”

19.224范文第十题

“This past winter, 200 students from Waymarsh State College traveled to the state capitol building to protest against proposed cuts in funding for various state college programs. The other 12,000 Waymarsh students evidently weren’t so concerned about their education: they either stayed on campus or left for winter break. Since the group who did not protest is far more numerous, it is more representative of the state’s college students than are the protesters. Therefore the state legislature need not heed the appeals of the protesting students.” 4次

21.新题，

in order to expand our market, we should get in the competetion campaign to expand our sales spots national-wide even though now we are no mature in our distribution to catch up with the national-wide demand. But any delays in our production and distribution would not damage our interest, but promote our image and shows that our products are rare and sales well. As long as we catch up with the national demand of the products, we would in 3 years be the national leader in the beer market due to our good tast of beer and the increased popularity.

我的思路是：1、delays会造成损失，不会提升印象。2、distribution and production 方面的提升是很困难的而且很花钱，而这个成本也不能通过扩张的收入弥补。3、非充分：对最后一句话的否定。这样做了也不能成为leader。

 

V2 一个Fishbone Brewery 啤酒公司的marketing consultant recommend 公司应该用XX政策，就是说不要给顾客立即供货，要让人家觉得这家的啤酒很rare以此来提高产品的popularity。最终他预测是within多少 年内，这个公司will become a leader in the beer market.

 

V3 一家小型啤酒公司的顾问给经理建议，让啤酒公司加入一个national distribution campaign, although production capabilities are not yet to national distribution. 说delays in production and distribution actually will increase demand, 然后又reputation, 因为delays让顾客觉得production rare. 又说，等到production catch up with distribution, large demand will bring a growth to company。最后说，three years, the company will be a national leader in the beer market, with great demand and popularity.
