《管理英语3》形考自测题答案与解析3.4

　　一、选择填空，从每题选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。

　　1. — Is it more advisable to upgrade our present facilities than taking the risk of opening a new park?

　　— ____________

　　A. Thank you.

　　B. I'm glad to hear that.

　　C. I don't think so.

　　解析：本题是考核“做出判断”的交际用语, 问句是一般疑问句，答语应对问句做出判断，给予答复。A表示感谢；B表示很高兴听到某个消息，都没有做出明确答复。C表示“我不这样认为”，给出了答复。这里的so替代了前句中所说的事情，所以答案是C。

　　2. — I wonder if I could use your computer tonight?

　　— _________

　　A. Sure, go ahead.

　　B. It doesn't matter.

　　C. Who cares?

　　解析：本题是考核“征求许可”的交际用语，所以回复对方时应先表明自己的态度，再做出回答。B表示“无所谓、没关系”； C表示“谁关心呢、谁在乎呢”，在口语中表示某事不是十分重要，说话人对此事不关心，都没有回答对方的问题。A中Sure, go ahead表示“行，拿去用吧”，既表了态又允许对方做某事，所以答案是A。

　　3. You can go out, __________ you promise to be back before 12 o'clock.

　　A. so far as

　　B. as far as

　　C. as long as

　　译文：只要你答应十二点前回来，你就可以出去。

　　解析：本题考核条件状语从句。as (so) long as只要，既然，是引导条件状语从句的从属连词，如：You may use the room as long as you keep it clean.（只要你能保持房间整洁，你就可以使用）；so far as就…而论，直到；as far as：就……所知。所以答案是C。

　　4. If the building project __________ by the end of this month is delayed, the construction company will be fined.

　　A. to be completed

　　B. is completed

　　C. being completed

　　译文：如果本月底应完成的工程被延期了，建筑公司会被罚款。

　　解析：本题考核非谓语动词作定语。if引导的条件状语从句中有谓语形式is delayed，所以空格处应该用非谓语形式作building project的定语，因为动词complete与building project之间是被动关系，而且complete的动作发生在从句谓语delay之后，是将来发生的动作，所以用不定式的被动式to be completed作定语。所以答案是A。

　　5. A budget is an estimation of the _______ and _______ over a specified future period of time.

　　A. cost; expense

　　B. revenue; expenses

　　C. revenue; interest

　　译文：预算是指对未来的一段时间内发生的收入和支出的估算。

　　解析：词义辨析题。这三组词词义分别为“成本、支出”、“收入、支出”和“收入、利息”。该题应从“预算”的定义来判断，所以答案是B。

　　

　　二、阅读理解

　　阅读下面的文章，根据文章内容判断文章后的句子是正确（T）还是错误（F）。

　　Save Money by Understanding Why You Spend It

　　To save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to say, but why is it so difficult to do? To answer this question, you need to study the factors that keep you spending all the time.

　　Easy access to credit

　　For most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can easily get a credit card, simply by filling out a short form in a bank or jumping on their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even buy cars or houses. When you aren't physically handing someone money or a check for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you aren't spending money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.

　　Misusing credit cards

　　A credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to let the balance continue from month to month. If you make a $200 purchase on your credit card and find out that at the end of the month you can't afford to repay the full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to hurt you. That is no way of saving money.

　　Giving in to temptation

　　We all need to enjoy life, but don't waste your financial future for a few guilty pleasures today if they aren't in your budget. When you know that you can't afford an activity, don't give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.

　　Spending to feel good

　　Everyone enjoys getting something new — buying yourself something feels good. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, as long as you don't go overboard. You'll feel good about your purchase whether you make it with cash or by credit card, but you'll feel even better when you don't have to spend the next two years trying to pay it off with 20% interest.

　　操作提示：句子正确选择下拉选项框为“T”；句子错误选择下拉选项框为“F”。

　　1. You have to pay for the credit card loans by the end of each month. T

　　2. Using a credit card to pay is spending free money. F

　　3. It's easy to get a credit card but hard to make ends meet. T

　　4. If you suffer from a deficit this month, you simply have to pay it off by the original amount in the future. F

　　5. “Spending to feel good” means keeping your spending within the budget. T
