考题 问答题Passage 14Questions 8—12  ● Read the article below about GE.  ● Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.  ● For each gap (8—12), mark one letter (A—G) on your Answer Sheet.  ● Do not use any letter more than once.  ● There is an example at the beginning, (0).A slipping crown  For decades America’s General Electric (GE) has worn its AAA credit rating as a badge of pride. The company has also used it to mint money in its financial-services business, GE Capital. No longer (0)______. That added insult to the injury that GE has already suffered.  Last year the outfit generated a profit of $8.6 billion or almost 48% of GE’s total earnings. By exploiting its AAA rating, GE Capital was able to raise capital cheaply and then deploy it to fund everything from commercial-property and home loans to credit-card lending and insurance. (8)______. Announcing its decision to downgrade the business, SP predicted rising credit losses in coming months in several areas of GE Capital’s portfolio.  Although GE’s demotion from AAA was bad news, it triggered a rise in the firm’s shares, which had recently been trading at about the same price as one of the light bulbs that the company makes. (9)______. They may also have taken comfort from the agency’s conclusion that GE’s industrial businesses should continue to pump oodles of cash, in spite of the global downturn.  Yet some financial analysts are still fretting that GE Capital’s portfolio may contain more nasty surprises. (10)______. They also wonder out loud whether Moody’s, another rating agency, will take a more pessimistic view of GE’s prospects when it finishes a review of the AAA rating that it still assigns to the firm.  Next week GE plans to hold an in-depth briefing on the state of the assets in GE Capital’s portfolio, which will help to dispel the cloud still hanging over the business. It has also been telling anyone who will listen that it doesn’t expect this week’s downgrade to have a significant impact on its business, though it does plan to keep shrinking GE Capital’s activities so that the unit represents no more than 30% of total profit. (11)______. GE is sitting on $48 billion of cash and has already raised over 90% of its long-term debt needs for this year—no mean feat in a dire credit market.  The company also plans to slash its dividend from the second half of 2009, which it reckons to conserve an additional $9 billion a year on an ongoing basis. (12)______.. In his annual letter to shareholders published recently, Mr. Immelt admitted that GE’S reputation had been “tarnished”.  A. This has made some of the company’s small investors apoplectic; they have grown used to juicy dividend payments.  B. Jeff Immelt, GE’s CEO, has said that the overall company will continue to manage itself like a AAA-rated firm, notably by keeping plenty of liquidity to hand.  C. Resolving lingering doubts over GE Capital quickly will be essential if one of America’s most iconic companies is to regain its shine.  D. They point out that the business does not mark many of its assets to their market price—a practice that has blown huge holes in the finances of many big banks.  E. No doubt investors were relieved that SP didn’t make an even deeper cut in the company’s rating.  F. But the chaos triggered by the credit crunch has taken the shine off GE’s cash machine, which has seen some of its property and other loans turn sour.  G. SP stripped the company and its financial arm of their top-notch ratings, downgrading them to AA-plus.

考题 单选题An automaker is facing financial difficulties. The vice president of marketing has determined that the root of the company’s problems is low brand loyalty. The vice president proposes, there- fore, that the company begin an aggressive advertising campaign focused on children aged from three to eight years. By securing strong brand recognition with this demographic, he argues, the company will have an advantage when these customers reach an age when they can buy cars.  Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubts about the vice president’s proposal?A Studies have shown that children are an important factor in the car-buying decision for 75 percent of parents with children under 18 years of age.B The financial difficulties facing the company will result in the company’s declaring bankruptcy within five years if the difficulties are not addressed effectively.C The company’s most recent advertising campaign, focused on the theme of “Rev up your life,” has received positive ratings from the demographic aged 18 to29.D Children are accustomed to viewing ads for car toys while watching their favorite television programs, so ads for actual cars will appeal to them.E The vice president who made the proposal has only one year of experience in the automotive industry, but has spent more than 20 years in the financial services and children’s entertainment industries.
