Section E Directions：Read the following two passages. Choose the best answer for each statement or question
33、 from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throw the center. Passage One There are three basic methods by which companies can compete in foreign markets: exporting, licensing and other contractual agreements, and investment.
34、Exporting is limited to physical goods. International freight forwarders, banks, and other specialists can assist companies wishing to export by handling many of the details regarding documentation and financing. Exporting is often the way a company initially becomes involved in international trade.
35、 Companies can gain valuable experience in international markets through exporting without being exposed to large capital losses. International licensing is another way for domestic companies to compete internationally. Under an international licensing agreement, domestic companies provide foreign c
36、ompanies with rights to some of their intangible assets, such as their patents, trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, or even their company name and logo. Domestic companies often provide some type of technical assistance to make sure the 全国国际商务英语培训认证考试笔试模拟试题licensed properties are used properly. Sim
37、ilar contractual agreements may include franchising, technical agreements, service or management contracts, and other variations. Licensing and other contractual agreements typically involve the transfer of technology or human skills. Characteristically there is no equity investment by the internati
38、onal company in such agreements. Licensing and other contractual agreements can offer several advantages over or alternatives to exporting. They can prevent such import barriers as tariffs and quotas, since only intangible assets and services are being exchanged. In some cases a countrys currency ma
39、y experience a prolonged devaluation, making exports no longer profitable. Licensing agreements can overcome some of the risks associated with such currency fluctuations. There is also less of a political risk with licensing, which avoids the risks associated with expropriation (没收) of the internati
40、onal companys investment by the host countrys government. Licensing can also provide the host country with much-desired technology transfer, so that its government is likely to view such agreements as beneficial. Investment is the third way in which companies can compete in other countries. Typicall
41、y, foreign direct investment involves ownership by an international company of a manufacturing plant or other production facility in a target country. Investments may be sole ventures; or they may be joint ventures. Investment may be in a new establishment, or it may involve the acquisition of an ex
42、isting enterprise. International companies generally make direct investments in foreign countries for one of the three reasons. One reason is to obtain raw materials from the host country. Most of the extracted resource from the host country is either exported back to the international companys home
43、 country for use in manufacturing there, or sold on the world market. A second reason is to source products at a lower cost. Sourcing investors establish manufacturing or assembly operations in a foreign country for the purpose of obtaining components or finished goods more cheaply than they could i
44、n their home country. These components or finished goods are then exported back to the investors home country or shipped to other countries. The third and most prevalent reason is to penetrate local markets and compete internationally. As noted above, international companies use direct investment to
45、 establish a production base in another country for the purpose of competing in that countrys marketplace. 51. Which of the following is the advantage of exporting? A. Many specialists can assist exporters to handle the details in exporting. B. Exporting is the best way for exporters to be fully inv
46、olved in international business. C. Companies would be less likely to lose large capital in international markets. D. It is unnecessary for exporters to deal with an entity in the target country. 52. Under an international licensing agreement, domestic companies provide foreign companies with _. A.
47、sound funds B. existing market C. components or finished products D. technical assistance and human skills 53. What benefit do licensing and other contractual agreements bring about? A.

48、 They can eliminate some import barriers. D. Exporters wont face currency fluctuations with such agreements. 54. What form does foreign investment take? A. Sole ventures. B. Joint ventures. 全国国际商务英语培训认证考试笔试模拟试题C. Overseas plants. D. All of the above. 55. Why do international companies make direct in
49、vestments in foreign countries? A. To acquire the existing enterprises in the target country. B. To make full use of the advanced technology in the target country. C. To get raw materials from the target country. D. To establish manufacturing plants in the target country.
