Computers
Before the widespread use of computers, managers could not make full use of large amounts of valuable information about a company's activities. The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used. Today, managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments. In place of a few financial controls, managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company. On any kinds of performance measures, the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results, find out problems, and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.
The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies. Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales, billing, and other activities. In large companies, electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.
Now, there are about 24 million microcomputers in use in the United States—one for every 10 citizens. It is estimated that by 1996, 61 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station. In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate, they need to understand how computers work. However, in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers. Rather, managers should understand how computerized information systems work; how they are developed; their limitations and costs; and the manner in which information systems may be used. Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.
One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates. 第5部分：补全短文 阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。
How to Do Well in Exams
Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it 1 . An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time 2 .
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few, seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare" and "evaluate". 3 . It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.
4 . If you do need something e[se to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling-or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never bang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students 5 .
A. DO not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious, and you may suffer from undue panic.
B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.
C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understand.
D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make, and how much time you should spend on each question.
F. Go and have a well-earned rest-then prepare for your next exam. 第6部分：完形填空 阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案。
Transportation
For many years in the desert, camels used to be the only form of transportation (运输). Before the 1 of modern trains, camel trains used to carry all the goods for trading between Central Africa and Europe. Traders sometimes 2 to put together camel trains with 10,000 to 15,000 animals. Each animal often carried 3 400 pounds and could travel twenty miles a day. This form of transportation was so important that camels were called the "ships of the 4 ."
Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very 5 time. One engine can pull as much weight as 135,000 6 , In addition, trains use special cars for their load. Refrigerator cars carry food; boxcars carry heavy goods, stock cars carry animals; and tank cars carry oil.
Air travel has changed, too. The earliest planes were biplanes (双翼飞机), with 7 sets of wings. The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour. The pilots used to sit or lie on the wings in the. open air. The plane 8 sometimes Stopped in the middle of a trip. it used to be 9 to fly in bad weather. In snow or in rain, the wings frequently became icy. Then the plane might go down.
Mechanical improvements during the First World War changed airplanes. Monoplanes (单翼飞机) took the 10 of biplanes. Pilots flew inside of covered cabins. Still, even these planes were small and expensive. Only 11 people were be able to travel in airplanes.
Now modern jets make air travel possible for all people. No place in the world is more than 24 hours away by jet. Further improvements have 12 the cost of flying, and they have made air travel 13 safer than it used to be. A modern 707 can carry 170 people and can fly at 600 miles per hour. People 14 used to eat, sleep, or watch movies on airplanes. 15 these things are a normal part of air travel!
