28、ours and Now they have further plans for our community Whats wrong with the McDonalds planning application?

Section E Directions：Read the following two passages. Choose the best answer for each statement or question from the four choices mark

46、ed 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. Exporting is limited to phy

47、sical 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. Companies can gain valuabl

48、e 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 companies with rights to som

49、e 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 licensed properties are used properly. Similar contractual agreements may include franchi

50、sing, 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 international company in such agreements. Licensing and

51、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 may experience a prolonged devaluation, making ex

52、ports 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 international companys investment by the host countrys g

53、overnment. 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. Typically, foreign direct investment involves ownership

54、 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 existing enterprise. International companies gene

55、rally 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 country for use in manufacturing there, or sol

56、d 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 in their home country. These components or finis

57、hed 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 establish a production base in another country

58、 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 involved in international business. C. Companies w

59、ould 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. sound fundsB. existing market C. components or

60、finished productsD. technical assistance and human skills 53. What benefit do licensing and other contractual agreements bring about? A. They bring fewer political risks for the local government. B. There is no equity investment in such agreements. C. They can eliminate some import barriers. D. Expo
