1、答案：CThere is noreference in the textto the current market situation of the universal home remote control system and thereforewe cannot conclude this from the text.The answer is Cannot Say2、答案：AThe text stipulates that The disastrous launch of the product into the market was largely the fault of . as well as senior managers who have failed to closely monitor the production activities.The answer is True3、答案：BThousands of these systems were returned because this luxurious device fails to reliably operate designated appliances andsomealsoactivated the wrong electrical device resulting in serious damages.The main problem was that designated appliances were not operated reliably; this is what system failure resulted from. Wrong device activation was a problem with onlysomeof the devices, andin additionto the main problem, so it did not cause the system failure by itself.The answer is False.4、答案：BOnly the prototype was simple and user friendly. The first products were unreliable according to the text - the disastrous launch of the product into the market and therefore the statement is false.The answer is False5、答案：AThe passage states that the universal home remote control system was presented a decade ago, continuing on to detail the impressive features of the prototype manufactured.The answer is True.6、答案：AThe text asserts that the campaign is to recover its public profilewhere they were outperformed by the Liberals. Recover means that once, the Labour did well in these areas and recently they lost to the Liberals. In the coming election they wish to re-establish themselves in these areas.The answer is True7、答案：CAccording to the passage, The image of the party as reflected in the television campaign is to be consistent with the one reflected in the press campaign. The only thing this implies is that both campaigns will try to get across the same message about the party. It, however, does not say anything about the spirit of the campaign. For example, the TV campaign can be very emotional, or even funny and catchy, while the press campaign may be straightforward and boring, both giving the same message.We know the TV advertisements are stimulating, but we do not know what the press campaign will be like. The mixed use of the word spirit in both passage and statement is done to intentionally mislead, as the partys trustworthy spirit is the partys image, not the spirit of the campaign itself. Therefore, the correct answer is cannot say.8、答案：AThe text states that A return on investment (ROI) study will examine the effectiveness of this campaign.The answer is True9、答案：BThe text indicates that the TV campaign will run for a period of 8 weeks with an extension possibility and it also asserts that This rule would apply to the press campaign as well.The answer is False10、答案：AThe text states that e-learning provides interactive courses using the Internet infrastructure.The answer is True11、答案：BThis is a bit confusing as the first sentence in the passage argues that E-learning systems have been recently used by major corporations however the statement refers to leadership development programs for which the text specifically states that they are long established.The answer is False12、答案：BAccording to the text: e-learning can,at times, be more effective than other conventional forms of training.It follows that there are more than a few instances in which e-training islesseffective. Much better cannot be an appropriate description in this case. Since the statement is not categorically true, we are to conclude that it is false.13、答案：CThe text stipulates that the reason for cutting down conventional training is budgets for one-on-one or group training shrinking.However this does not contradict the statement in the question. For example the escalation in costs of manpower may be the reason behind the shrinking training budgets. Therefore the answer is Cannot say.14、答案：AAccording to the text: 70 per cent of private universitiesdo not meet this quota. 70 per cent is more than half and so the word most is applicable.The answer is True15、答案：AThe text states that both private and public universities do not meet the legislated quota therefore it can be inferred that the legislation applies to all universities.The answer is True16、答案：BAccording to the text, The percentage presently applicable is set at 5 per cent of minorities that may apply via this channel. That is, up to 5% of the course students may have minority students who have applied via the minorities reserved space legislation. Therefore a course with 500 students should have a maximum of 25 students (5% of 500) rather than a minimum.The answer is False17、答案：CThe text states that 70% of private universities do not comply and neither does a high share of public universities, but it does not state what percentage makes up that share.The answer is Cannot Say18、答案：ATheir immune system is often compromised due to the risk of exposure to bacteria transferred from other patients.”Compromising a patients immune system means that they are at a higher risk of their health deteriorating.The statement is TRUE19、答案：AThe text notes that hospital dining services have additional responsibilities to those of a regular restaurant: However, this is not the case where hospital dining services are concerned. These establishments must also take into account that their customers are patients.Thus, the answer is TRUE20、答案：CThe text mentions that there are higher demands and more considerations for hospital dining services, but these do not necessarily cost more money.There is no indication of costs in the text, so the answer is CANNOT SAY21、答案：CWhile dietary restrictions are mentioned as a consideration when feeding patients, we are not given a hierarchy of responsibilities in the text, so we cannot know whether it is the main one.Thus, the answer is CANNOT SAY22、答案：AAll encompassing approach means-including or covering everything or everyone; comprehensive, in effect- incorporating IT to every aspect.The text states:“The pervasive use of Information technologyin all aspects of the economy”and“it is being used in virtually every sector”.Thus, the correct answer is TRUE23、答案:A According to the text, Information Technology “has enabled the creation of a host of tools to create, manipulate, organise, transmit, store and use information in digital form in new ways and through new organisational forms.24、答案：AThe text statesit represents the pervasive use of Information Technology (hardware, software and telecommunications) in all aspects of the economy, including internal operations of organisations (business, government and non-profit). And then continues to list many other different aspects of IT and the way nearly every small thing is dependent on IT or incorporates IT in one way or another. Therefore, it is safe to assume that if something this substantial were to disappear entirely, it would have an effect. And since many businesses utilize IT, as stated, transactions between organisations; and transactions between individuals, acting both as consumers and citizens, and organisationsmeaning that the economy would be directly affected by such a change. The text further emphasizes the widespread use and importance of It when it states, Its impact is pervasive as it is used in virtually every sector, from farming to manufacturing and from government to services. therefore, while the text does not state the exact impact of the disappearance of IT, its safe to assume economic regression would be a part of it, and the answer should therefore be TRUE.25、答案：BAccording to the text, the digital economy represents the pervasive use of Information Technology.This means that the term “digital economy” explains and elaborates on the term “Information Technology”.Thus, the former cannot be part of the latter or be used by the latter and the statement is FALSE.26、答案：BExplanation: The text states that effectiveness isdoing the right thing, which instinctively draws us towards a TRUE answer. However, the statement above also adds the need todo the thing right, which is not stated as part of the definition of effectiveness.Thus, the statement that one must do the right thing AND do it right is FALSE.27、答案：BThe first sentence reads that “efficiency and effectiveness are considered synonymous along with terms like proficiency erroneously so.” This means that the words do not have an identical meaning and that it would be incorrect to refer to them as interchangeable. The answer is FALSE.Note that if you did not understand the meaning of the word “erroneously” you may have answered the question incorrectly. Thus, it is important to try and expand your vocabulary prior to taking the test.28、答案：AThe statement refers to“a manager”, which might lead us to think the answer is false, or cannot say, since there is no reference to “a manager” in the text.However, the text notes that“Efficiency defines whether processes are completed while using t
