2、assistance available to minority business enterprises. While this program enabled many minority entrepreneurs to form new businesses, the results were disappointing, since managerial inexperience, unfavorable locations, and capital shortages led to high failure rates. Even 15 years after the program

3、 was implemented, minority business receipts were not quite two percent of the national economy’s total receipts. ? ? ?Recently federal policymakers have adopted an approach intended to accelerate development of the minority business sector by moving away from directly aiding small minority enterpr

In this approach, large corporations participate in the development of successful and stable minority businesses by making use of government-sponsored venture capital. The capital is used by a participat

6、ic experience, as well as substantial amounts of capital, gives those firms a greater opportunity to develop sound business foundations than does simply making general management experience and small amounts of capital available. Further, since potential markets for the minority businesses already e

7、xist through the sponsoring companies, the minority businesses face considerably less risk in terms of location and market fluctuation. Following early financial and operating problems, sponsoring corporations began to capitalize MESBIC’s far above the legal minimum of $500,000 in order to generate

8、sufficient income and to sustain the quality of management needed. MESBIC’s are now emerging as increasingly important financing sources for minority enterprises. ? ? ?Ironically, MESBIC staffs, which usually consist of Hispanic and Black professionals, tend to approach investments in minority firm

9、s more pragmatically than do many MESBIC directors, who are usually senior managers from sponsoring corporations. The latter often still think mainly in terms of the ‘social responsibility approach’ and thus seem to prefer deals that are riskier and less attractive than normal investment criteria wo

10、uld warrant. Such differences in viewpoint have produced uneasiness among many minority staff members, who feel that minority entrepreneurs and businesses should be judged by established business considerations. These staff members believe their point of view is closer to the original philosophy of

11、MESBIC’s and they are concerned that, unless a more prudent course if followed, MESBIC directors may revert to policies likely to re-create the disappointing results of the original SBA approach. 1.Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage? [A] The use of MESBIC’s for ai

12、ding minority entrepreneurs seems to have greater potential for success than does the original SBA approach. There is a crucial difference in point of view between the staff and directors of some MESBIC’s. [C] After initial problems with management and marketing, minority businesses have begun to

13、expand at a steady rate. [D] Minority entrepreneurs wishing to form new businesses now have several equally successful federal programs on which to rely. 2.According to the passage, the MESBIC approach differ s from the SBA approach in that MESBIC’s [A] seek federal contracts to provide market f

14、or minority businesses. Encourage minority businesses to provide markets for other minority businesses. [C] Attempt to maintain a specified rate of growth in the minority business sector. [D] Rely on the participation of large corporations to finance minority businesses. 3.Which of the following

15、 statements about the SBA program can be inferred from the passage? [A] The maximum term for loans made to recipient businesses was 15 years. Business loans were considered to be more useful to recipient businesses than was management and technical assistance. [C] The anticipated failure rate for

16、 recipient businesses was significantly lower than the rate that actually resulted. [D] Recipient businesses were encouraged to relocate to areas more favorable for business development. 4.The author refers to the ‘financial and operating problems’ encountered by MESBIC’s primarily in order to [A

17、] broaden the scope of the discussion to include the legal considerations of funding MESBIC’s through sponsoring companies. call attention to the fact that MESBIC’s must receive adequate funding in order to function effectively. [C] show that sponsoring companies were willing to invest only $500,0

18、00 of government-sponsored venture capital in the original MESBIC’s. [D] Compare SBA and MESBIC limits on minimum funding. 5.It can be inferred from the passage that the attitude of some MESBIC staff member toward the investments preferred by some MESBIC directors can be best described as [A] dis

24、business foundations than does simply making general management experience and small amounts of capital available. 【參考譯文】MESBIC的建立基于這種信念：為已建公司提供方便，使它更容易獲得相關(guān)的管理技術(shù)更具體的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及大筆資金要比簡(jiǎn)單地給予一般管理經(jīng)驗(yàn)和小筆資金更能使它們獲得機(jī)會(huì)去建立穩(wěn)固的商業(yè)基礎(chǔ)。 7. ? ? ?The latter often still think mainly in terms of the ‘social responsibility a

25、pproach’ and thus seem to prefer deals that are riskier and less attractive than normal investment criteria would warrant. 【參考譯文】后者――高級(jí)經(jīng)理們――在有大多數(shù)情況下，仍然常常從“社會(huì)責(zé)任的角度”來考慮問題，因此，他們似乎更傾向于選擇那些比正常投資標(biāo)準(zhǔn)更具風(fēng)險(xiǎn)性，而不太引人注目的項(xiàng)目。 寫作方法與文章大意 ? ? ?文章主要采用因果以及對(duì)比的寫作方法。先點(diǎn)出SBA計(jì)劃――聯(lián)邦政府對(duì)少數(shù)民族去也的贊助（）的失敗及其原因。 ? ? ?為此，聯(lián)邦決策者改變方法

26、，通過中介公司，建立MESBIC。由它來幫助少數(shù)民族企業(yè)――使其獲得相應(yīng)的管理技術(shù)、具體工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和大量資金，甚至潛在的市場(chǎng)――取得了成功。 ? ? ?可內(nèi)部存在問題，MESBIC的職工和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者之間的意見分歧，職工的投資觀點(diǎn)更切實(shí)際，而領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者仍從“社會(huì)責(zé)任的角度”來考慮問題，若不改變，有可能重蹈SBA之覆轍。 答案詳解 1. ? ? ?A 運(yùn)用MESBIC來幫助少數(shù)民族企業(yè)似乎比原來SBA的方法更具成功的可能性。文章一開始就點(diǎn)名SBA（小型企業(yè)管理局）向少數(shù)民族企業(yè)提供聯(lián)邦保證貸款，政府資助管理和技術(shù)方面的幫助，結(jié)果令人失望。組建成的少數(shù)民族新企業(yè)由于管理上缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)、地點(diǎn)不佳、資金短缺

27、而導(dǎo)致失敗的情況很多。其他見難句譯注1、2、3?？傊贛ESBIC支持下：為它的潛在市場(chǎng)提供大量資金等，使它們?cè)诘攸c(diǎn)和市場(chǎng)流通方面風(fēng)險(xiǎn)小的多，從而帶來足夠的收入和保持所需的管理質(zhì)量。這一切都說明MESBIC比SBA的成功可能性大。 B.MESBIC中的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和職工方面在觀點(diǎn)上有著至關(guān)重要的分歧。C.經(jīng)歷了早期管理和市場(chǎng)問題后，少數(shù)民族企業(yè)已開始穩(wěn)步發(fā)展。D.希望組建新公司的少數(shù)民族企業(yè)家已有好幾個(gè)成功的聯(lián)邦計(jì)劃可依靠。 2. ? ? ?D 依靠打工四向少數(shù)民族企業(yè)投資。見第二段第二句：大公司利用政府資助的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資本參與成功而又穩(wěn)固的少數(shù)民族企業(yè)的發(fā)展。參與的大公司用這筆資金建立了“少數(shù)民族小

28、型企業(yè)投資公司”（MESBIC） A.尋求為少數(shù)民族企業(yè)提供市場(chǎng)聯(lián)邦合同。B.鼓勵(lì)少數(shù)民族企業(yè)為其他少數(shù)民族企業(yè)提供市場(chǎng)。C.試圖在少數(shù)民族部門保持特定的增長(zhǎng)率。 3. ? ? ?C 預(yù)期加入SBA項(xiàng)目中的公司的失敗率比實(shí)際失敗率低得多。文內(nèi)沒有直接點(diǎn)出，而是從（見第一題注釋）SBA幫助的企業(yè)失敗率很高――令人失望，從而推斷C項(xiàng)結(jié)論。 A.給企業(yè)貸款最高期限為15年。B.商業(yè)貸款對(duì)企業(yè)來說遠(yuǎn)筆管理和技術(shù)幫助重要。D.鼓勵(lì)接受貸款企業(yè)重新尋找利于企業(yè)發(fā)展的地區(qū)。 4. ? ? ?B 為的是引人注意這一實(shí)際情況：MESBIC必須取得足夠的資金才能有效地運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。這在第三段最后一句：在經(jīng)歷了早期

29、財(cái)政和運(yùn)行問題后，贊助公司給MESBIC注入的資金遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了50萬美元的法定最低限額，以獲得足夠的收入并保持所需的管理質(zhì)量。MESBIC現(xiàn)在正成為日益重要的少數(shù)民族企業(yè)的資金來源。這說明沒有足夠的資金是難以有效運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的。 A.擴(kuò)大討論范圍以包括通過贊助公司投資MESBIC的合理性。C.表明贊助公司愿意在原來的MESBIC只投資50萬政府資助的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資本。D.對(duì)比SBA和MESBIC最低投資限額。 5. ? ? ?A 失望。文章最后一段MESBIC的職工――一般是拉美和黑人專業(yè)人員在少數(shù)民族公司的投資上比MEBSIC的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者更切實(shí)際。這些高級(jí)經(jīng)理從社會(huì)責(zé)任角度看問題，會(huì)選擇更具風(fēng)險(xiǎn)性，不太吸引人

30、的項(xiàng)目。觀點(diǎn)分歧使許多少數(shù)民族職工感到不安，他們認(rèn)為應(yīng)以公司的業(yè)務(wù)爆出來評(píng)價(jià)少數(shù)民族企業(yè)家及其企業(yè)。者充分說明MEBSIC的職工對(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)所青睞的投資項(xiàng)目不滿意和失望。 B.漠不關(guān)心。C.震驚。D.持保留態(tài)度。 Passage Ten (The Importance of Independent Thinking) No one can be a great thinker who does not realize that as a thinker it is her first duty to ? follow her intellect to whatever conclusion

31、s it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. No that it is solely, of chiefly, to form great thinkers that freedom of thinking is

32、 required. One the contrary, it is as much or even more indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature which they are capable of. There have been and many again be great individual thinkers in a general atmosphere of mental slavery. But there never has been, nor ever will

33、be, in that atmosphere an intellectually active people.

But for more than a decade, a growing band of scientists and journalists has pointed to studies that seem to link exposure to electromagnetic fields with increased risk of leukemia and other ma

The implications are unsettling, to say the least, since everyone comes into contact with such fields, which are generated by everything electrical, from power lines and antennas to personal computers and micro-wave ovens. Because evidence on the subject is inconclusive and often contrad

At the heart of the debate is a simple and well-understood physical phenomenon: When an electric current passes through a wire, tit generates an electromagnetic field that exerts forces on surrounding objects, For many years, scientists dismissed any suggestion tha

66、t such forces might be harmful, primarily because they are so extraordinarily weak. The ELF magnetic field generated by a video terminal measures only a few milligauss, or about one-hundredth the strength of the earth’s own magnetic field, The electric fields surrounding a power line can be as high as 10 kilovolts per meter, but the corresponding field induced in human cells will be only about 1 millivolt per meter. This is far less than the electric fields that the cells themselves generate. H
