4.1 Rowlands & Medeleev (R&M), a major listed European civil engineering company, was successful in its bid to becomeprincipal (lead) contractor to build the Giant Dam Project in an East Asian country. The board of R&M prided itself inobserving the highest standards of corporate governance. R&M’s client, the government of the East Asian country, hadtaken into account several factors in appointing the principal contractor including each bidder’s track record in largecivil engineering projects, the value of the bid and a statement, required from each bidder, on how it would deal withthe ‘sensitive issues’ and publicity that might arise as a result of the project.The Giant Dam Project was seen as vital to the East Asian country’s economic development as it would provide alarge amount of hydroelectric power. This was seen as a ‘clean energy’ driver of future economic growth. Thegovernment was keen to point out that because hydroelectric power did not involve the burning of fossil fuels, thepower would be environmentally clean and would contribute to the East Asian country’s ability to meet itsinternationally agreed carbon emission targets. This, in turn, would contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gasesin the environment. Critics, such as the environmental pressure group ‘Stop-the-dam’, however, argued that theproject was far too large and the cost to the local environment would be unacceptable. Stop-the-dam was highlyorganised and, according to press reports in Europe, was capable of disrupting progress on the dam by measures suchas creating ‘human barriers’ to the site and hiding people in tunnels who would have to be physically removed beforeproceeding. A spokesman for Stop-the-dam said it would definitely be attempting to resist the Giant Dam Project whenconstruction started.The project was intended to dam one of the region’s largest rivers, thus creating a massive lake behind it. The lakewould, the critics claimed, not only displace an estimated 100,000 people from their homes, but would also floodproductive farmland and destroy several rare plant and animal habitats. A number of important archaeological siteswould also be lost. The largest community to be relocated was the indigenous First Nation people who had lived onand farmed the land for an estimated thousand years. A spokesman for the First Nation community said that the ‘trueprice’ of hydroelectric power was ‘misery and cruelty’. A press report said that whilst the First Nation would be unlikelyto disrupt the building of the dam, it was highly likely that they would protest and also attempt to mobilise opinion inother parts of the world against the Giant Dam Project.The board of R&M was fully aware of the controversy when it submitted its tender to build the dam. The financedirector, Sally Grignard, had insisted on putting an amount into the tender for the management of ‘local risks’. Sallywas also responsible for the financing of the project for R&M. Although the client was expected to release money inseveral ‘interim payments’ as the various parts of the project were completed to strict time deadlines, she anticipateda number of working capital challenges for R&M, especially near the beginning where a number of early stage costswould need to be incurred. There would, she explained, also be financing issues in managing the cash flows to R&M’smany subcontractors. Although the major banks financed the client through a lending syndicate, R&M’s usual banksaid it was wary of lending directly to R&M for the Giant Dam Project because of the potential negative publicity thatmight result. Another bank said it would provide R&M with its early stage working capital needs on the understandingthat its involvement in financing R&M to undertake the Giant Dam Project was not disclosed. A press statement fromStop-the-dam said that it would do all it could to discover R&M’s financial lenders and publicly expose them. Sallytold the R&M board that some debt financing would be essential until the first interim payments from the clientbecame available.When it was announced that R&M had won the contract to build the Giant Dam Project, some of its institutionalshareholders contacted Richard Markovnikoff, the chairman. They wanted reassurance that the company had fullytaken the environmental issues and other risks into account. One fund manager asked if Mr Markovnikoff couldexplain the sustainability implications of the project to assess whether R&M shares were still suitable for hisenvironmentally sensitive clients. Mr Markovnikoff said, through the company’s investor relations department, that heintended to give a statement at the next annual general meeting (AGM) that he hoped would address theseenvironmental concerns. He would also, he said, make a statement on the importance of confidentiality in thefinancing of the early stage working capital needs.(a) Any large project such as the Giant Dam Project has a number of stakeholders.Required:(i) Define the terms ‘stakeholder’ and ‘stakeholder claim’, and identify from the case FOUR of R&M’sexternal stakeholders as it carries out the Giant Dam Project; (6 marks)

  • 第7题：

    共用题干
    Play
    Play is the principal business of childhood,and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy,every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play,and the main tools of play are toys.Their main func- tion is to suggest,encourage and assist play.To succeed in this they must he good toys,which children will play with often,and will come back to again and again.Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.
    In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach,within the range of his inherited abilities,is largely determined in the first three years of his life .So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.A baby,who is encouraged and stimulated,talked to and shown things and played with,has the best chance of growing up successfully.
    In the next stage,from three to five years old,curiosity knows no bounds.Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child,for trying out,experimenting and learning,for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys ; painting,scribbling（涂鸦）and making things;sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
    By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years—the child is at school .But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning,at home or at school.It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
    Until the age of seven or eight,play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered,then books and schools become the main source of learning.Toys are still interesting and valuable,they lead on to new hobbies,but、their significance has changed—to a child of nine or ten years,toys and games mean,as to adults,relaxation and fun.

    We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity________.
    A:.when he is two
    B: when he is around four
    C:.when he is six
    D:.when he is eight

    答案：B
    解析：
    这句话“…as a child grows up ,he should be given different toys”和第一段的最后一句话“…it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development”（给处于不同生长期的孩子选择合适的玩具很重要）是一样的意思。


    本题的依据是第二段的第一句话，这句话中有一个介词短语：within the range of his inherited abilities，如果先抛开这个短语，句子的其余部分意为：近年对儿童成长的研究表明，孩子出生的头3年在很大程度上决定了他今后将达到的水平。但这个结论的限定是“在他遗传得到的能力范围之内”(within the range of his inherited abilities)，也就是说孩子从父母那里遗传来的能力部分地决定了他可能达到的水平。


    答案的依据是第二段的最后一句话，选项C讲到的3点：given toys, talked to and played with在这句话里都可以找到：talked to and shown things and played with，只是次序稍有不同。


    第三段的第一句话告诉我们，孩子3～5岁时是好奇心最强的时候，所以B : around four，四岁前后，是正确答案。


    这道题的答案取决于对整篇文章的理解和把握，本文的题目是Play，第一段的第一句话就把文章的中心点出来了：…in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being．第二、第三、第四段分别讲了在1～3岁、3 ～5 岁、5～7/8岁这三个阶段玩耍对孩子成长的重要作用。

    ［B］ interplanetary Internet will be commercialized in 100 years

    ［C］ the research of Internet took 50 years

    ［D］ it will take a long time to build interplanetary Internet


    正确答案：A

    本题考查考生的推理引申能力。文章最后一段所做的假设（在今后50年内仅仅是研究项目的东西，在100年后完全有可能商业化）以及与因特网发展历程的比较，都是塞尔夫为了说明建立星际因特网在未来是有可能实现的，所以［A］项正确。文中提到100年只是一种假设，［B］项将其确定为商业化实现的时间，不正确。同样，［C］项将假设中的50年确定为因特网的研究年限，也不正确。该段中塞尔夫的一番话表达了他对星际因特网的建立怀有比较乐观的态度，而不是说明它需要花很长时间才能实现，［D］项不正确。

    答案：D
    解析：
    句意：在修筑这个水坝时，江水被改道进入新的水道。A.turn是常用词，词义较多，有转动，旋转，转方向，改变等意思；B.switch也有“转”之意，但它是指转轨，转变之意，如：to switch the conversation改变谈话内容；C.shift“转动，转换”，如：shift a burden from one shoulder to the other把担子从一个肩上换到另一个肩上；河流、公路等的“改道”通常用divert。
