第1题：
4 When a prominent football club, whose shares were listed, announced that it was to build a new stadium on land
near to its old stadium, opinion was divided. Many of the club’s fans thought it a good idea because it would be more
comfortable for them when watching games. A number of problems arose, however, when it was pointed out that the
construction of the new stadium and its car parking would have a number of local implications. The local government
authority said that building the stadium would involve diverting roads and changing local traffic flow, but that it would
grant permission to build the stadium if those issues could be successfully addressed. A number of nearby residents
complained that the new stadium would be too near their homes and that it would destroy the view from their gardens.
Helen Yusri, who spoke on behalf of the local residents, said that the residents would fight the planning application
through legal means if necessary. A nearby local inner-city wildlife reservation centre said that the stadium’s
construction might impact on local water levels and therefore upset the delicate balance of animals and plants in the
wildlife centre. A local school, whose pupils often visited the wildlife centre, joined in the opposition, saying that whilst
the school supported the building of a new stadium in principle, it had concerns about disruption to the wildlife centre.
The football club’s board was alarmed by the opposition to its planned new stadium as it had assumed that it would
be welcomed because the club had always considered itself a part of the local community. The club chairman said
that he wanted to maintain good relations with all local people if possible, but at the same time he owed it to the fans
and the club’s investors to proceed with the building of the new stadium despite local concerns.
Required:
(a) Define ‘stakeholder’ and explain the importance of identifying all the stakeholders in the stadium project.
(10 marks)
正确答案：
4 (a) Stakeholders
Definition
There are a number of definitions of a stakeholder. Freeman (1984), for example, defined a stakeholder in terms of any
organisation or person that can affect or be affected by the policies or activities of an entity. Hence stakeholding can result
from one of two directions: being able to affect and possibly influence an organisation or, conversely, being influenced by it.
Any engagement with an organisation in whom a stake is held may be voluntary or involuntary in nature.
Tutorial note: any definition of a stakeholder that identifies bi-directional influence will be equally valid.
Importance of identifying all stakeholders
Knowledge of the stakeholders in the stadium project is important for a number of reasons. This will involve surveying
stakeholders that can either affect or be affected by the building of the stadium. In some cases, stakeholders will be
bi-directional in their stakeholding (claim) upon the stadium project. Stakeholders in the stadium project include the local
government authority, the local residents, the wildlife centre, the local school and the football club’s fans.
Stakeholder identification is necessary to gain an understanding of the sources of risks and disruption. Some external
stakeholders, such as the local government authority, offer a risk to the project and knowledge of the nature of the claim made
upon the football club by the stakeholder will be important in risk assessment.
Stakeholder identification is important in terms of assessing the sources of influence over the objectives and outcomes for the
project (such as identified in the Mendelow model). In strategic analysis, stakeholder influence is assessed in terms of each
stakeholder’s power and interest, with higher power and higher interest combining to generate the highest influence. In the
case, it is likely that the fans are more influential on the club’s objectives than, say, the local wildlife centre, as they have
more economic power over the club.
It is necessary in order to identify areas of conflict and tension between stakeholders, especially relevant when it is likely that
stakeholders of influence will be in disagreement over the outcomes for the project. In this case, for example, the claims of
the football club board and the local residents are in conflict.
There is a moral case for knowledge of how decisions affect people both inside the organisation or (as is the case with the
stadium project) externally. -

第4题：
The residents, ___________had been damaged by the flood, were given help by the Red Cross.A.all their homes
B.all whose homes
C.all of whose homes
D.all of their homes答案：C解析：考查非限制性定语从句。句意为“那些房屋全部被洪水毁坏的居民得到了红十字会的救济”。两个逗号之间显然是一个非限制性定语从句，所以用关系代词whose指代the residents。因为whose后面接的是一个从句．所以要用代词all of而不用形容词all。正确答案为C。 -

The majority of people,about nine out of ten,are right-handed.Not until recently,people who were left-handed were considered__________(51),and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today left-handedness is generally_________(52),but it is still a disadvantage in a world________(53)most people are right-handed.For example,most tools and implements are still designed for right-handed people.
In sports,__________(54)contrast,doing things with the left hand or foot,is often an advantage.Throwing,kicking,punching or batting from the"wrong"side may result_________(55)throwing off many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the_________(56)of players who are right-handed.This is why,in many ________(57)at a professional level,a higher proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole.

A:by
B:for
C:at
D:in答案：A解析：根据后面这句：孩子们一旦显示出左撇子的倾向就会被强迫使用右手，可以推断出人们在最近之前一直都认为使用左手是很不好的，因此这里选D "abnormal"，意思是：不正常的。unique“独特的”;eccentric“古怪的”;normal“正常的”。
generally accepted“普遍接受的”。admit“承认”;approve“同意，许可”;acknowledge“认可”。
where引导定语从句修饰world。
by contrast“相比之下”。
result in“导致，造成”;result from“由于······而造成”。
majority“大多数”;minority“少数”;plenty“很多”，通常修饰不可数名词； lack“缺乏”。这句话的意思是：从反面投掷、踢腿、拳击或者是用球拍击打可能会把大多数习惯了对付使用右手的对手们彻底击败。
game“比赛，赛事”;hobby“业余爱好”;activity“活动”;round“轮（比赛）”。这句话的意思是：这就是为什么在很多专业级别的比赛中，左撇子的比例要高于普通人群中左撇子的比例。
be connected with“跟······联系在一起”;related要和介词to搭配使用；mix “混合”，意思在这里不合适；combine“结合”，常和with搭配，意思不合适。本句话的意思是： “右”这个词在很多语言中都意味着“正确”或者和“合法”联系在一起。
be associated with sth.“和······相关联”，这句话中associated with "left", 是定语，修饰words。
根据句中转折连词whereas可以判断两种情况形成对照，既然和“右”相关的词汇意味着“正确”“合法”，因此whereas后的句子中说的就是相反的情况，因此这里选择 negative , negative association的意思是“负面的含义”。
There is a close association between...and…意思是：······和······之间关系密切。这句话的意思是：而且在很多原始的部落里，左手和死亡也密切相关。
tie“绑，捆”; attach“连接，附属”; bring“带来”; remove“拿走，脱掉”。这句话的意思是：有时候孩子的左手被绑在背后避免他使用。
这里是there be结构。
这句话的意思是：将来如果孩子们可以自己选择，一定会有更多的左撤子，而由于被迫使用右手导致轻微心理问题的人数也会减少。

第18题：
Many people use wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes．Scientists have become worried about the smoke that they give off．Harmful chemicals are in the smoke．The smoke is causing air pollution．The pieces of pollution,called soot,are floating in the air．They are too tiny to see．Scientists must use a microscope to see them.

Factories produce the most smoke and soot．But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited．The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited．Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law．Or,they may not be able to bum on days when the air quality is bad.
Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban．Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.
