1、答案：C
There is no reference in the text to the current market situation of the universal home remote control system and
therefore we cannot conclude this from the text.
The answer is Cannot Say
2、答案：A
The text stipulates that "The disastrous launch of the product into the market was largely the fault of [...] as well as senior
managers who have failed to closely monitor the production activities".
The answer is True
3、答案：B
"Thousands of these systems were returned [because] this luxurious device fails to reliably operate designated appliances and some also activated the
wrong electrical device resulting in serious damages."
The main problem was that designated appliances were not operated reliably; this is what system failure resulted from. Wrong device activation was a
problem with only some of the devices, and in addition to the main problem, so it did not cause the system failure by itself.
The answer is False.
4、答案：B
Only the prototype was simple and user friendly. The first products were unreliable according to the text - "the disastrous
launch of the product into the market" and therefore the statement is false.
The answer is False
5、答案：A
The passage states that the universal home remote control system was presented a decade ago, continuing on to detail the
impressive features of the prototype manufactured.
The answer is True.
6、答案：A
The text asserts that the campaign is "to recover its public profile…where they were outperformed by the Liberals". 'Recover'
means that once, the Labour did well in these areas and recently they lost to the Liberals. In the coming election they wish to
re-establish themselves in these areas.
The answer is True7、
答案：C
According to the passage, "The image of the party as reflected in the television campaign is to be consistent with the one reflected in the press campaign."
The only thing this implies is that both campaigns will try to get across the same message about the party. It, however, does not say anything about the
spirit of the campaign. For example, the TV campaign can be very emotional, or even funny and catchy, while the press campaign may be straightforward
and boring, both giving the same message.
We know the TV advertisements are "stimulating", but we do not know what the press campaign will be like. The mixed use of the word 'spirit' in bothpassage and statement is done to intentionally mislead, as "the party's trustworthy spirit" is the party's image, not the spirit of the campaign itself.
Therefore, the correct answer is cannot say.

答案：A
The text states that "A return on investment (ROI) study will examine the effectiveness of this campaign".
The answer is True
9、答案：B
The text indicates that the TV campaign will run for a period of 8 weeks with an extension possibility and it also asserts that
"This rule would apply to the press campaign as well".
The answer is False10、
答案：A
The text states that e-learning provides interactive courses using the Internet infrastructure.
The answer is True
11、答案：B
This is a bit confusing as the first sentence in the passage argues that "E-learning systems have been recently used by major
corporations" however the statement refers to leadership development programs for which the text specifically states that
they are "long established".The answer is False
12、
答案：B
According to the text: "e-learning can, at times, be more effective than other conventional forms of training."It follows that there are more than a few instances in which e-training is less effective. "Much better" cannot be an appropriate
description in this case. Since the statement is not categorically true, we are to conclude that it is false.
13、
答案：CThe text stipulates that the reason for cutting down conventional training is "budgets for one-on-one or group training
shrinking".
However this does not contradict the statement in the question. For example the escalation in costs of manpower may be the
reason behind the shrinking training budgets. Therefore the answer is "Cannot say".
14、
答案：A
According to the text: "70 per cent of private universities…do not meet this quota". 70 per cent is more than half and so the word 'most' is applicable.The answer is True
15、
答案：AThe text states that both private and public universities do not meet the legislated quota therefore it can be inferred
that the legislation applies to all universities.
The answer is True
16、
答案：BAccording to the text, "The percentage presently applicable is set at 5 per cent of minorities that may apply via this channel".
That is, up to 5% of the course students may have minority students who have applied via the minorities reserved space
legislation. Therefore a course with 500 students should have a maximum of 25 students (5% of 500) rather than a minimum.
The answer is False
17、
答案：C
The text states that 70% of private universities do not comply and neither does a high share of public universities, but it does
not state what percentage makes up that share.
The answer is Cannot Say
18、答案：A
"Their immune system is often compromised due to the risk of exposure to bacteria transferred from other patients...”Compromising a patient’s immune system means that they are at a higher risk of their health deteriorating.
The statement is TRUE
19、
答案：AThe text notes that hospital dining services have additional responsibilities to those of a regular restaurant: "However, this is not the case where
hospital dining services are concerned. These establishments must also take into account that their customers are patients..."
Thus, the answer is TRUE
20、
答案：CThe text mentions that there are higher demands and more considerations for hospital dining services, but these do not necessarily cost more money.
There is no indication of costs in the text, so the answer is CANNOT SAY
21、
答案：CWhile dietary restrictions are mentioned as a consideration when feeding patients, we are not given a hierarchy of responsibilities in the text, so we
cannot know whether it is the main one.
Thus, the answer is CANNOT SAY
22、
答案：AAll encompassing approach means- including or covering everything or everyone; comprehensive, in effect- incorporating IT to every aspect. The text
states: “The pervasive use of Information technology…in all aspects of the economy” and “it is being used in virtually every sector”.
Thus, the correct answer is TRUE
23、
答案:AAccording to the text, Information Technology “has enabled the creation of a host of tools to create, manipulate, organise, transmit, store and use
information in digital form in new ways and through new organisational forms."
24、
答案：AThe text states "it represents the pervasive use of Information Technology (hardware, software and telecommunications) in all aspects of the economy,
including internal operations of organisations (business, government and non-profit)." And then continues to list many other different aspects of IT and
the way nearly every small thing is dependent on IT or incorporates IT in one way or another. Therefore, it is safe to assume that if something this
substantial were to disappear entirely, it would have an effect. And since many businesses utilize IT, as stated, "transactions between organisations; and
transactions between individuals, acting both as consumers and citizens, and organisations" meaning that the economy would be directly affected by
such a change. The text further emphasizes the widespread use and importance of It when it states, "Its impact is pervasive as it is used in virtually every
sector, from farming to manufacturing and from government to services." therefore, while the text does not state the exact impact of the disappearance of
IT, it's safe to assume 'economic regression' would be a part of it, and the answer should therefore be TRUE.
25、
答案：BAccording to the text, the digital economy represents the pervasive use of Information Technology.
This means that the term “digital economy” explains and elaborates on the term “Information Technology”.
Thus, the former cannot be part of the latter or be used by the latter and the statement is FALSE.
26、
答案：BExplanation: The text states that effectiveness is "doing the right thing", which instinctively draws us towards a TRUE answer. However, the statement
above also adds the need to "do the thing right", which is not stated as part of the definition of effectiveness.
Thus, the statement that one must do the right thing AND do it right is FALSE.
27、
答案：BThe first sentence reads that “efficiency and effectiveness are… considered synonymous… along with terms like proficiency – erroneously so.” This
means that the words do not have an identical meaning and that it would be incorrect to refer to them as interchangeable. The answer is
FALSE.
Note that if you did not understand the meaning of the word “erroneously” you may have answered the question incorrectly. Thus, it is important to
try and expand your vocabulary prior to taking the test.
28、答案：A
The statement refers to “a manager”, which might lead us to think the answer is false, or cannot say, since there is no reference to “a manager”
in the text.
However, the text notes that “Efficiency … defines whether processes are completed while using the least amount of resources in the shortest time
possible”.
This means that in order to achieve efficiency, anyone, including a manager, would have to make sure the two conditions mentioned – minimal
time and resources – are met.
Thus, the answer is TRUE.
Remember! You may deduce information, provided you rely solely on the text.
29、答案：A
According to the text there are "substantial implications for businesses large and small that arise from the inherent difficulty in balancing both efficiency
and effectiveness."
This means that both goals are desirable, but balancing them both is challenging. 'Balancing' means that you have already attained both items, but find
it hard to maintain the right amount of each. From the text it can be inferred it is also difficult to attain the two, let alone balance, and therefore, the
statement is TRUE.
30、
答案：BAccording to the passage, if you meet objectives using excessive resources, then you are 'doing the right thing’ but not 'doing the thing right’.
The answer is False
