(10 points) After 16 weeks of labor contract disputes, Costas Metals workers say they have had enough. At 10:30 this morning, hundreds of employees walked out of work and onto the picket line. Costas Metals employs more than 800 workers, and the union says about 90 percent of them are participating in the strike. They plan to continue to picket factory offices here in four hour shifts. The union representative claims workers have taken these measures as a last resort. “The membership had met and decided to wait for the company to put a decent offer on the table, and when it finally did late last night, it turned out to be wholly unacceptable. So, we voted to strike.” The representative said that union members will strike as long as necessary, be it “one week or one hundred.” Extra security has been ordered by the plant, and guards are blocking passage through the main entrance to the factory. Company officials have refused to comment on the situation. Local business leaders are concerned because any kind of prolonged dispute could have a negative effect on other sectors of the community as well. According to Hank Jarvis, owner of Jarvis Real Estate, “What happens to Costas Metals happens to our town.” This attitude is shared by others as well. “Costas Metals is the backbone of our local economy. Everything from food to entertainment, to houses…it all connects to the metal plant,” says one business owner who does not want to be identified. The whole town is hoping for a settlement soon. 41. What would be the best headline for this news report? A. Costas Plant Orders Extra Security B. Costas Workers Start Strike Today C. Costas Metal Loses Money During Strike D. Over 800 Workers Stage Walkout at Costas 42.What caused the strike to happen? A. 17 weeks of continuous labor disputes B. An offer by the company that the union found unsatisfactory C. The company ordering extra security guards D. 90% of the workers picketing the factory offices 43.How long do the workers intend to strike? A. For four hours B. A number of weeks 2 C. Late into the night D. Indefinitely 44. If some of the plant workers were to lose their jobs, what might the effect on the community be? A. The economy of the community would suffer. B. The economy of the community would prosper. C. No effect. Things would stay the same. D. There would be more houses available for other people. 45. The phrase “on the table” most nearly means __________. A. for good B. under control C. under construction D. for discussion Part 3: Read the following article and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question (10 points) In September, the campuses of America will be full of not only returning undergraduates, but also employers offering jobs to the best 10% of them. “We are seeing a far more competitive market for talent,” says Steve Canale, a recruitment manager at General Electric (GE). Companies are also looking at summer work experience students more as potential full-time employees than as temporary staff. 60% of GE’s graduate recruits in America this year, for instance, will come from more than 2,000 summer students. Firms are working harder to improve their image in the eyes of undergrduates. GE focuses on 38 universities where it actively promotes itself as an employer. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), an accounting firm, targets 200 universities and gives a partner responsibility for each. PWC says that each of these partners spends up to 200 hours a year “ building relationships on campus”. According to a survey by Universum, which asked 30.000 American students to name their ideal employer, PWC came second in 2005 (up from 4 th in 2004), beaten only by BMW. Yet the German carmaker, which replaced Microsoft as the leader in 2005, avoids campuses, relying for its popularity, says Universum, on the “coolness” of its products. 46. Who is General Electric offering jobs to? A. Temporary staff B. Undergraduates C. Graduates D. Summer work experience students 47. Who is Steve Canale? A. A reporter for local newspaper B. An American undergraduate C. A recruitment manager at GE D. A president of the university 48. What does PWC give each partner responsibility for? A. 38 universities B.

(10 points) Apple Inc plans to use a larger screen on the next-generation iPhone and has begun to place orders for the new displays from suppliers in South Korea and Japan, people familiar with the situation said on Wednesday. The new iPhone screens will measure 4 inches from corner to corner, one source said. That would represent a roughly 30 percent increase in viewing area, assuming Apple keeps other dimensions proportional. Apple has used a 3.5-inch screen since introducing the iPhone in 2007. Early production of the new screens has begun at three suppliers: Korea's LG Display Co Ltd, Sharp Corp and Japan Display Inc, a Japanese government-brokered merger combining the screen production of three companies. It is likely all three of the screen suppliers will get production orders from Apple, which could begin as soon as June. That would allow the new iPhone to go into production as soon as August, if the company follows its own precedent in moving from orders for prototypes for key components to launch. Apple's decision to equip the next iPhone with a larger screen represents part of a competitive response to Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. 6 Samsung unveiled its top-of-the line Galaxy smartphone with a 4.8-inch touch-screen and a faster processor earlier this month. With consumers becoming more and more comfortable using smartphones for tasks they once performed on laptops, like watching video, other smartphone manufacturers have also moved toward bigger displays. 41. How many different suppliers will most likely be involved in the production of Apple's new iPhone screens? A. Two B. four C. three D. one 42. Are all the suppliers in Japan? A. It isn’t mentioned B. Yes C. No D. Yes, but there might be another supplier in Singapore. 43. According to the article, who is Apple competing against? A. Samsung B. Nokia C. LG D. Sony 44. Why are companies making bigger display screens? A. Because big screens are fashionable. B. Because bigger screens makes dialing easier. C. Because they cannot sell smaller screens. D. Because consumers are using phones for things they used to do on their laptops. 45. How much bigger will Apple's new screen be, compared to the old one? A. 3.5 inches B. 30% C. 4.5 inches D. 4 inches Part 3: Read the following article and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question. (10 points) Japan's 24-hour convenience stores, already struggling with lagging sales and growth, may soon face yet another threat - moves to limit business hours and close the stores late at night. The prefecture of Saitama, which borders Tokyo, may follow in the footsteps of the western city of Kyoto and urge convenience stores to close during late night hours in an effort to limit carbon dioxide emissions, Japanese media reported. Kyoto, a former capital, wants to persuade convenience and other 24-hour stores to close late at night so as to improve evening views of the city and cut down on energy use. The Nikkei business daily said closures could last from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. The move is strongly opposed by the industry, which fears a withering impact on an already troubled sector also grappling with the specter of a higher tobacco tax, which could hit overall sales. "Even if we only operate the stores for 16 hours, we can't stop the refrigerators," said Toshiro Yamaguchi, the president of Seven-Eleven Japan Co, which is owned by Seven & I Holdings Co Ltd, at a news conference in Saitama on Tuesday. He said such cuts in operating hours would reduce each store's profit by 20 percent. "If this happens, our current business model will lose its foundation." Analysts said that while it is difficult to estimate the potential impact of the move without a concrete plan, their overall impression was that it was likely to be negative. "This could cut profits and lead to less efficient operations and the increased loss of opportunities," said Masafumi Shoda, an analyst at Nomura Securities. "But it depends on the store urban stores do better than others. There are some in the countryside that are inefficient." Some have suggested that if governments were sincere about reducing carbon emissions there were much more efficient methods, such as cutting back on the huge number of automatic vending machines. 46. Which Japanese city was the first to try to limit convenience store hours? A. Saitama B. Tokyo C. Sapporo D. Kyoto 47. What's the main goal behind the proposal? A. To sell more tobacco products B. To give employees more free time C. To limit carbon dioxide emissions D. To sell more nicotin products 48. How's the convenience store sector doing in Japan? A. It's doing great. Business is booming. B. The article doesn't say. C. Not very well D. It is popular over the country. 49. According to the article, which convenience stores are generally more successful? A. The ones that sell alcohol B. The ones in big cities C. The ones that sell tobacco D. The ones in the countryside 50. According to the convenience store industry, what impact would closing for the night have on the earnings of a typical store? A. It could cause a 10% increase in sales. 7 B. Its effect would be minimal. People would simply shop earlier. C. It could change customers’ shopping habits. D. It could cause a 20% decrease in profits. 8 V.
