A total of 23,632 people were identified or presumed victims of trafficking in the European
Union, in a recent report received by the European Commission. The number of people
trafficked in and to the EU increased by 18 percent over a two-year period. Fewer traffickers,
however, have ended up behind bars, with convictions decreasing by 13 percent over the
same period. Only 6 out of the 27 EU member states have incorporated the EU anti-
trafficking directive into national legislation. This new EU legislation covers actions in
different areas such as criminal law provisions, prosecution of offenders, victim support
and victims' rights in criminal proceedings and prevention, as well as foreseeing the
establishment in each member state of a national rapporteur or equivalent mechanism for
reporting on trends, gathering data and measuring the effectiveness of anti-trafficking
activities.
答案： B
The report was received by the European Commission, so we can infer that it
was not prepared/owned by the commission.
Thus, the statement is FALSE

答案：B
According to the text, the new EU legislation has only been adopted in 6 member
states, so while the legislation foresees the establishment of a national
rapporteur or equivalent mechanism, it has not yet been implemented in each
member state.
Thus, the statement is FALSE

答案：B
According to the text – only 6 out of 27 states have incorporated the EU directive
into their legal systems.
It is important not to be confused by other data in the text, such as the 13%
decrease in incarceration of traffickers, stated in the previous sentence.
The statement is FALSE

The European Commission [EC], the executive body of the EU, has re-adopted a decision
to fine Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, together with Toshiba Corporation, for their
participation in a cartel on the markets for gas-insulated switchgears. This was after part
of the original decision was annulled by the European General Court [EGC] for a breach of
equal treatment in the setting of the two companies' fines. The EGC had annulled the fines
even though the Commission’s findings were upheld because in setting the fines the
Commission had used sales figures for a different reference year than for other cartelists.
Today's decision ensures that Mitsubishi and Toshiba receive an appropriate fine for their
participation in the cartel; the newly imposed fines are calculated on the basis of the same
parameters as in the original decision, with the exception of the reference year.
答案：A
The text states that the EGC annulled the part of the original EC decision
regarding fines. As a result, while the EC re-adopted the original decision, it
changed the fines imposed on the companies.
Thus, the statement is TRUE

答案：C
Although "in setting the [original] fines the Commission had used sales figures for
a different reference year than for other cartelists", there is no way to know whether
the original fine was too high or too low. Also, we are not able to infer if the usage
of wrong figures was done on purpose.
Thus, the answer is CANNOT SAY.

答案：A
According to the passage, there is disagreement between the EC and the ECG
regarding the "best" or most appropriate punishment for the two companies.
However, the issue of the companies’ culpability is not in contention, with the
text stating “the EGC had annulled the fines even though the Commission’s
finding was upheld”, meaning, that there is agreement regarding the
Commission’s finding.
The statement is TRUE

The correct answer is Cannot say.
The passage describes an instance in which the EC modified its decision based on
a EGC ruling. While this serves as an example of EGC's judicial power, one cannot
conclude that EVERY EC decision is dependent upon EGC rulings. It is possible that
in other cases, EC acts on its own

答案：A
The text specifically states:1. Part of the original decision was annulled by the European General Court
[EGC] for a breach of equal treatment in the setting of the two companies'
fines.
2. "The Commission’s findings were upheld..."
By combining these two sentences we can infer that ECG did agree with EC's
decision to fine the companies, but ruled that the fining mechanism itself is
erroneous.
Therefore, the statement is TRUE.

Seen as a new player in the global economy, Bitcoin has been the focus of serious debate
in the past few years. Although not acknowledged by any country as an official currency,
Bitcoin is recognised and used as a currency in e-trading worldwide, with a cap of 21 million
Bitcoin units total. Authorities and financial experts alike have been dumbfounded by the
arrival of this new element and are currently struggling to adjust their mindset and to devise
appropriate regulations to deal with it. How can a country properly tax gains accrued on a
non-official currency? How can an expert make a prediction regarding Bitcoin when there
is no consensus regarding its status? These are just a few of the questions that arise
regarding the issue. Bitcoin has been the cause of great concern on the part of banks as
well, due to its potential status as a competing currency. Most of the problems facing these
various players in the economy are compounded by the potential of criminal elements
dealing in e-trade, a matter that has brought about the adoption of new legislation.
答案：B
The text states that authorities "have been dumbfounded…and are currently
struggling to devise appropriate plans to deal with Bitcoin”.
This means they have not yet adjusted their mindset and come up with
appropriate plans.

EU officials will meet for what are expected to be the final talks on radical new rules cracking
down on corruption between extractive companies and third world governments. Under the
deal, all extractive companies will be required to declare all payments to and from
governments over €100,000 on a country-by-country basis. These payments will have to
be published for each individual project, while projects are defined as operational activities
that are governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement,
and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. EU lawmakers emphasised
the need to put an end to the so-called "resource curse," whereby countries have remained
poor despite being rich in natural and mineral resources due, in part, to high-level corruption.
That being said, governments are expected to block a proposal supported by Members of
the European Parliament to extend the scope of the legislation to cover the communications
sector and construction.
答案： B
The text indicates that payments over €100,000, i.e., payments exceeding
€100,000 to and from governments, would have to be declared by the extractive
company.
So, the answer is FALSE.

答案：C
While we gather from the text that the term is currently used to describe countries

corruption, we cannot ascertain definitively from the passage where the term
originated and for what specific definition it was created.
Thus, the correct answer is CANNOT SAY

答案： A
In the first sentence of the passage, we are told that the new rules are intended
to “crack down on corruption”, meaning, to curb corruption. In addition, we are
told that “EU lawmakers emphasised the need to put an end to the ...’resource
curse’” (which refers to corruption occurring in countries rich with natural
resources).
From these two statements, we can gather that the EU wants to put an end to
corruption. Note that according to the last sentence the members of the EU
parliament do want to extend the legislation to other areas; it is the
governments that are expected to block the proposal.
The answer is TRUE.

Investors recently sent gold, the traditional safe haven in times of trouble, to
record trading highs of over $1,800 per ounce. A quarter of respondents to a
poll reflected the bearish view held by George Soros, who continued his retreat
from gold by selling off the mining company, NovaGold Resources, in the second
quarter. They predicted a fall in the gold price to $1,500 per troy ounce. Almost
the same proportion of our readers, 28%, felt there was more to come from
gold, believing the price will climb to $2,500 by the end of 2012. There are also
signs to encourage the bulls. Ben Bernanke, governor of the Fed, disappointed
hopes that he would announce a third round of quantitative easing during hisJackson Hole speech last week, but the prospects for another round of
banknotes printing remain alive. A third group of our readers, 27%, meanwhile,
told us that they did not foresee much movement at all, predicting that gold
would trade at around $2,000 for the foreseeable future as a hedge against
continuing uncertainty. Only 7% of readers would agree with the obvious: that
gold is, in the final analysis, just another yellow metal people dig out of the
ground - and should be valued like any other non-productive rock.
答案：C
Our first step should be to locate the section of the text that discusses changes in the price of gold. We see that
"28% felt there was more to come from gold, believing the price will climb". In the following sentence, these
people are referred to as "bulls" and we are told that they should be encouraged by the prospects for more
banknote printing.
We can infer that more dollar printing is expected to increase gold prices; however, it does not mean that
refraining from printing could result in a drop in gold prices.
Therefore, we Cannot Say.

答案： C
'Slightly too high' is a very general phrase. What we know from the paragraph is
that "7% of readers would agree ... that gold ...and should be valued like any other
non-productive rock."
but we do not know the difference between the price of gold and the price of that
other non-productive rock, and therefore we cannot know if 7% think that difference
to be 'slightly too high'.Therefore, the answer is Cannot Say.

The relevant sentences are: "A quarter of respondents to a poll reflected the
bearish view held by George Soros, who continued his retreat from gold by
selling off the mining company, NovaGold Resources, in the second quarter.
They predicted a fall in the gold price to $1,500 per troy ounce."
Soros sold his gold-mining company because he, like a quarter of the
respondents to the poll, believed that gold prices would fall, or that "gold would
depreciate."
Therefore, the answer is True.

答案：C
We are clearly told that one quarter of those polled believed gold prices would rise;
one quarter believed they would fall; and one quarter believed they would roughly
remain the same.
The passage says nothing about the approximate quarter whose views about gold
prices are absent from this poll.
We do not know if they explicitly refused to participate in the poll.
Therefore, the answer is Cannot say

Perhaps there was a time when the calling of the manager and that of the
leader could be separated. A foreman in an industrial-era factory didn’t have
to give much thought to what he was producing or to the other people who
were producing it. His or her job was to follow orders, organize the work,
assign the right people to the necessary tasks, coordinate the results, and
ensure the job was done as ordered. The focus was on efficiency.
But in the new economy, where value comes increasingly from a knowledge
of people, and where workers are no longer undifferentiated cogs in an
industrial machine, management and leadership are not easily separated.
People look to their managers not just to assign them a task but to define its
purpose. Moreover, managers must organize workers not just to maximize
efficiency but to nurture skills, develop talent and inspire results
答案：A
According to the text, part of the job of a foreman was to “assign the rightpeople to the necessary tasks”.
In addition, the text states that “People look to their managers not just to
assign them tasks….”.
So, we can see that part of the job of both a manager and a foreman is assigning
tasks. The statement is TRUE

答案：A
While this statement does not appear as such in the text, we are told in the
beginning of the text that a foreman in an industrial-era factory did not have to
think of what was produced and by whom. We are also told that a foreman only
had to assign tasks, coordinate results and ensure job completion.
In contrast, we are told that in the new economy, management is not separable
from leadership: managers must define a purpose as well as delegate tasks. In
addition, they must also organize workers, nurture skills, develop talent and inspire
results. When examining the cumulative tasks of each, we see that a modern
manager has more diversified tasks than those of an industrial-era factory
foreman.
Thus, the answer is TRUE.

The way we use the words 'procedure' and 'process' tells us something about how they
differ. We tend to start and stop processes. We implement procedures and commence and
complete them. We process information. We do not procedure information, but we employ
a procedure to process information. We have operational processes and there may be
operational procedures. In this context, the operational process comprises the resources,
people, plant and machinery, and the operational procedure contains the instructions on
how to operate. We have process interrupts but not procedure interrupts, because
processes are perceived as continuous and run until physical intervention. In our bodies
we have processes, not procedures. The reproductive process, the digestive process andthe respiratory process are certainly continuous and stop only when an intervention takes
place. They may require human intervention in which a surgeon may employ procedures
to effect a repair.
答案： B
Th text offers quite a bit of information, but says plainly that “in our bodies, we
have processes, not procedures”. This sentence contradicts the statement

we have processes, not procedures. The reproductive process, the digestive process and
the respiratory process are certainly continuous and stop only when an intervention takes
place. They may require human intervention in which a surgeon may employ procedures
to effect a repair
答案：B
Although the text notes a difference between the two words, we are told of
situations in which both are used, for example: "We process information. We
do not procedure information, but we employ a procedure to process
information."
Thus, the statement is FALSE
29、
The way we use the words 'procedure' and 'process' tells us something about how they
differ. We tend to start and stop processes. We implement procedures and commence and
complete them. We process information. We do not procedure information, but we employ
a procedure to process information. We have operational processes and there may be
operational procedures. In this context, the operational process comprises the resources,
people, plant and machinery, and the operational procedure contains the instructions onhow to operate. We have process interrupts but not procedure interrupts, because
processes are perceived as continuous and run until physical intervention. In our bodies
we have processes, not procedures. The reproductive process, the digestive process and
the respiratory process are certainly continuous and stop only when an intervention takes
place. They may require human intervention in which a surgeon may employ procedures
to effect a repair
答案：B
The text clearly states that ”processes are perceived as continuous”. So, while the second part of the
statement “we have process interrupts but not procedure interrupts" is correct, the statement as a whole is
FALSE

答案：A
According to the text, we employ a procedure in order to process
information.
Thus, the correct answer is TRUE
