第4题

During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman
marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the Youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for them to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman' s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and she can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.

This important change in women' s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.

We are told that in a family about 1900 ______.

A.few children died before they were five

B.seven or eight children lived to be more than five

C.the youngest child would be fifteen

D.four or five children died when they were five

第5题

It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying fo
r myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”

It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) her so much that she copied it down.

Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.

Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.

“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”

The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!

Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?

A.She had seven tickets.

B.She hoped to please others.

C.She wanted to show kindness.

D.She knew the car drivers well.

Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A.thought it was beautifully written

B.wanted to know what it really meant

C.decided to write it on a warehouse wall

D.wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom

Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A.Judy Foreman.

B.Natalie Smith

C.Alice Johnson.

D.Anne Herbert

What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.People should practice random kindness to those in need

B.People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.

C.People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.

D.People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.

In January 2004, a 20-year-old woman ran a red light while talking on a cell phone. Her ca
rknocked into another car crossing with the green light directly in front of her. The police found thedriver never touched her brakes (刹车) and was traveling 48 mph when she hit the other car. The po-lice were told that the driver was not looking down, pressing buttons. She was looking straight out ofthe windshield(挡风玻璃) talking on her cell phone as she passed four cars and a school bus.

Vision is the most important sense for safe driving. Yet, drivers using cell phones are likely to"look at" but not "see" objects. It is said that drivers using cell phones look but fail to see up to 50percent of the infornmtion while driving. Drivers are looking out of the windshield, but they do notreally deal with the situation on the road.

Although the public appear to be turning against cell phone use while driving, many admit theyregularly talk or text while driving. The police say that nine percent of the drivers at any given timeare using cell phones, and about one in four car accidents are directly related to cell phone use.

Using cell phones while driving has become a serious public health threat (威胁). A few stateshave passed laws making it unlawful to use a handheld cell phone while driving, but these laws give the false message that using a hand-free phone is safe. What was the woman doing when the car accident happened?

A.She was busy pressing buttons.

B.She was talking on her cell phone

C.She was looking at the red light ahead

D.She was looking for something in the car

The word "vision" (Paragraph 2 ) refers to the sense ofA.taste

B.touch

C.hearing

D.Sight

What is the percentage of the car accidents caused by drivers using cell phones?A.9%.

B.25%.

C.45%.

D.50%.

What do we know about the laws making it unlawful to use a handheld cell phone while driving?A.They are not perfect.

B.They are not necessary.

C.They are not practical.

D.They are not important

There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immedi
ately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.

You can' t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.

It' s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man' s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.

What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train?

A.They will stand up reluctantly.

B.They will offer her their seats after a while.

C.They will pretend not to see her.

D.They will get off the bus.

第10题

When MRA was shortlisted for a valuable contract for the development of a coastal defence
system for another country, it was contingent on the payment of a facilitation fee to an official in the defence ministry. Clearly this was an unusual request but it was also made very clear that MRA would not be awarded the contract, worth $2 billion over 10 years, unless the relatively modest sum of $1 million was paid immediately.

Recently, business activity in the defence sector had been very slow, and MRA was about to announce around 500 staff redundancies. Therefore news that this contract was about to be awarded came as a great relief to the board of MRA, as the jobs would now be secured. However, only the chief executive officer (CEO) and operations director knew about the facilitation fee, so an emergency meeting of the board was convened with only one item on the agenda.

Due to the very sensitive nature of the matter at hand, it was decided not to make a formal record of the discussions at the board meeting. This was more likely to result in a frank exchange of views and encourage all directors to express their opinions openly.

The CEO, Charlie Desborough, explained the dilemma to the board, making it very clear that without this contract there would be no way to protect jobs. The finance director, Jake Neilson, said that he was personally very uncomfortable with the idea of paying a facilitation fee, which was in effect a ‘bribe’. As a professional accountant he was bound by a code of ethics which strictly prohibited making such payments, therefore he could not sanction the payment under any circumstances.

The HR director, Sarah Shue, took a far more pragmatic stance. She acknowledged that any form. of corruption was utterly deplorable; however, it was a fact of life in many countries. She asserted that if the board of MRA decided not to make the payment and forego the contract, then it could be assured that a competitor would not adopt such a high-minded position. The net effect was that by avoiding a relatively small payment, the firm would be doing a disservice to both its employees and its shareholders, who would undoubtedly suffer a reduction in their shareholder value. She maintained that sometimes it is necessary to take difficult decisions in business that are for the greater good, and so suggested that the payment to the official should be made.

Required:

(a) (i) Compare relativism and absolutism and explain the significance of individual or personal differences in guiding ethical behaviour under each approach in a given scenario such as the situation at MRA. (5 marks)

(ii) Explain the ethical theories of deontology and teleology or consequentialism, and analyse which of the approaches have been adopted by Sarah Shue and Jake Neilson. (6 marks)

The involvement of directors in bribery and corruption can seriously undermine the relationships of trust upon which corporate governance is based.

Required:

(b) (i) Assess how bribery and corruption could undermine confidence and trust in MRA, with reference to the principles of corporate governance. (8 marks)

(ii) Describe best practice measures which could be employed by MRA to combat bribery and corruption. (6 marks)

When Biggo Manufacturing (a public listed company) needed to build an extension to its fac

When Biggo Manufacturing (a public listed company) needed to build an extension to its factory, it obtained planning permission to build it on an adjacent field. The local government authority was keen to attract the new jobs that would go with the expansion and so granted the permission despite the objections of a number of residents, who were concerned that the new factory extension would mean the loss of a children’s play area.

When the board of Biggo met after the building approval had been given, the chief executive read out a letter from Albert Doo, leader of the local government authority, saying that although permission to build had been given, the company should consider making a sizeable contribution towards creating a new children’s play area in a nearby location. Mr Doo said that Biggo ‘should recognise its social responsibility’. He said that the company should consider itself a citizen of society and should, accordingly, ‘recognise its responsibilities as well as its legal rights’.

One of Biggo’s directors, Robert Tens, said he thought the request was entirely reasonable given the displacement of the play area. He also said that they could use the donation strategically to help cultivate the company’s reputation locally to help in future recruitment. It might also, he said, help to reduce resistance to any future expansion the company might need to make.

Margaret Heggs, in contrast, argued that the company should not make the donation as it was likely that company profits would be low in the current year. She said that the acquisition of the land and the gaining of planning permission were done through the normal legal channels and so the company had no further contractual or ethical duties to the local government, nor to the local community. She said that Biggo provided local employment and produced excellent products and so it was unreasonable for the request for a donation to have been made. ‘This board is accountable to the shareholders of Biggo and not to the local community or the local government authority’, she said.

Required:

(a) Explain the meaning of ‘rights’ and ‘responsibilities’ in the context of Biggo and describe how these terms are interpreted at the two ends of the Gray, Owen & Adams ‘continuum’. (10 marks)

(b) Justify, using evidence from the case, which of Gray, Owen & Adams’s positions are best described by the comments made by Robert Tens and also Margaret Heggs. (6 marks)

(c) Define ‘social responsibility’ as used by Albert Doo. Contrast how short and long-term shareholder interest perspectives may affect Biggo’s attitude to the requested contribution for the children’s play area. (9 marks)
