3.Andrea Jung, the chairman and CEO of Avon, is sitting in her office on the 27th floor of Avon’s New York headquarters considering an obvious question: What does it mean to be the first woman to lead the beauty products company in its 115-year history?"I guess it helps,' she says wryly(表情冷漠地)."You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that." She's joking, of course, but there's some truth to what she says.Glamorous, poised and always impeccably (无瑕疵的) dressed, Jung knows what women want and how to sell it to them.That’s what has made her one of the most successful CEOs----male or female----in recent years.And that’s what placed her at number four in the ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, an annual survey by “Fortune.” The top on the list is Carly Fiorina, chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company, a US computer hardware company.The oldest child of Chinese immigrants, Junggrew up speaking both English and Mandarin Chinese.She received a BA in English literature from Princeton University in 1979.After graduation, Jung joined themanagement trainee program at Bloomingdale’s (a world-renowned department store).She later joined I.Magnin (the premiere retail (零售) house in the US), in San Francisco, becoming senior vice president and general merchandise manager.In 1993 Jung became a consultant (顾问) for Avon, famous for selling beauty products door to door through sales representatives known as “Avon Ladies”.When Jung, now 43, took over Avon in November 1999, the company was in deep trouble.During the greatest economic boom in history, its stock was crumbling (崩溃).As fewer women wanted to go out onto the streets selling Avon products, its sales decreased.But Jung surprised a lot of people.Over the past 20 months she has overhauled (检查) nearly everything about the way Avon does business: How it advertises, manufactures, packages, and even how it sells its products.Most surprising, she has done it not by abandoning the seemingly outdated Avon Lady, but by reviving (使再流行) her.Under Jung, more Avon Ladies are signing up than ever before.6 Since Jung joined Avon, sales have risen by 30 per cent, profits by 40 per cent and the stock price has dramatically improved.And now, Avon is the second largest firm in the US headed by a woman, after Hewlett-Packard.1.What is the truth to what Andrea Jung said?A.A male CEO has not the ability to try on a new mascara.B.A female CEO has to be more careful about her appearance.C.A female CEO has to try on a new mascara each day.D.When at home, a female CEO always tries on a new mascara2.Which one is not true, according to the context?A.The chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company is a woman.B.It seems that "Fortune" is the name of a magazine.C.Andrea Jung is the chairman and CEO of a IB computer hardware company.D.Avon is a beauty products company3.What did Jung do after she graduated from Princeton University?A.She became a trainer at Bloomingdale's.B.She became a member of an American retail house.C.She became president of an American retail house.D.She became general manager of Bloomingdale's4.What happened to Avon before Jung became CEO?A.The stock price of Avon was Killing.B.The sales volume increased dramatically.C.Avon hired more women to sell its beauty products.D.The stock price of Avon was rising5.What measure did Jung take to make Avon a profit-making company?A.She gave up Avon Lady that is no longer popular.B.She did much research and obtained much information.C.She employed more women as Avon LadiesD.Both B) and C)

    Questions 117-120refer to the following questions.
    Summer Travel Sale
    Figures published yesterday in a report on the national housing market show that consumers purchased more new homes in September than in any month yet this year. The increase of 14.1% over last month directly contradicts the predictions of market analysts.
    " It was a real shock to most of us," admitted Lashawnda Cassano, chief economist with the firm Capital Resources, LLTG." New-home sales were down so much in August and July that we simply expected the trend to continue. But this changes everything."
    The report states that 71,000 homes were sold in the month of September. That is well above the figure of 62,000 sold in August and July's one of 64,000. Previous months had seen the num-ber holding steady at around 68,000. These new numbers are sure to encourage investors, who have been hesitant to put their trust in the country's economy since last spring's downturn. All three national stock markets jumped up at least ten points on the news.
    The report is also likely to boost construction of new homes, as builders interpret it as a rise in consumer demand. However, if they react too enthusiastically, they risk flooding the market with new houses which could have the effect of pushing down prices and cutting into the profits of the real estate industry.
    What does this article mainly discuss?

    A.An investment firm's sales figures
    B.A recession's effect on the real estate industry
    C.Yesterday's stock market activity
    D.An economic report's unexpected findings

    答案:D

    根据以下内容,回答202-206题。
    The Daily Inquirer
    October 8
    Book Review of Anne Narazaki's
    New Century, New Business
    Reviewed by John Gilliam
    Anne Narazaki's recent book, New Century, New Business, seeks to examine the new tech-nologies that are critical for global business and how they affect today's corporate transactions. Ms.Narazaki argues that while economic transactions of one kind or another have taken place for thou-sands of years, the impact of changing technology on business has become obvious only recently. In fact, as new technologies have grown more prevalent, Ms. Narazaki observes, international busi-nesses have increased in size and number. At the same time, the time required to conduct each business transaction has decreased.
    Mr. Narazaki illustrates her observations with detailed examples of recent business transac-tions. Citing the merger of Poynter Technologies and Carce Company, which created the largest fi-nancial services company in the world, Ms. Narazaki explains the effect technology has on the val-uation of a company, on communication between the managements of different companies, and on stock and funds trading.
    Those of us who take an interest in the interaction between business and technology will find Ms. Narazaki's ideas persuasive. The view that business cannot survive without keep~ing up with new technology has become today's corporate reality.


    In the article, the word "critical" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to (  )。

    A.growing
    B.sensitive
    C.disapproving
    D.important

    答案:D
    解析:
    “critical”一词出现在“examine the new technologies that are critical for global business”这句话中,结合整句加以理解,是说:新的科技技术对全球商业的重要性。所以,该题的正确答案应为D。

  • 第15题:

    According to the article, why is the merger of Poynter Technologies and Carce Company mentioned in the book? (  )

    A.To point out the legal issues raised by new technologies
    B.To show how the world's largest computer technology firm was created
    C.To indicate that large companies have advantages in the marketplace
    D.To illustrate the impact technology has on transactions

    答案:D
    解析:
    由原文第二段相关内容:“…Ms.Narazaki explains the effect technology has on the valuation of a company.on communication…”可以得出正确答案。A、B、C在原文中均未提到。
