Companies can increase the money with which they run their business in a number of ways. One way is borrowing money, and another way is buying things with the agreement that payment would be made later. There are also other processes for providing money for use by a company. Two of these processes are described here.

One process the company may use is to issue bonds(债券). Bonds are a special kind of promissory note. They are issued in different values, in the forms of money used in different countries, such as the pound in England or the euro in Europe. These bonds can easily be sold again to other people or to other companies. The company that issues the bonds promises to pay a particular amount of money as interest regularly for a certain period of time. This continues until when the company has to pay back the principal(本金) of the bond. Payments of principal and interest must be made on time whether the company has been earning money or not. If these payments are not made on time, it means that the company has not done what it agreed to do and can be sued(控告，起诉).

Another process companies may use is to issue other forms of promissory notes called stocks(股票). Bonds and stocks are opposite methods of providing money for a company. The people who buy stocks provide money that is earned and take part in deciding how the company will conduct its business. They must also take part in the losses. The people who own stocks receive dividends only after the company has paid all of its debts to the people who own bonds. On the other hand, the persons who own bonds have no right, according to the law, to help decide how the company will handle its business, unless it is bankrupt or in danger of becoming so.

1. Which of the following statement is not the way for companies to increase their capital?

A. Borrowing money.                                   B. Buying materials without paying.

C. Issuing bonds                                       D. Issuing stocks

2 As to bonds, we know from the passage that ________.

A. they are cheques like bank notes

B. the company only pays back the principal

C. they are issued in the forms of money

D. if a company is bankrupt, it needn’t pay back the interest

3. According to this passage, who have the legal control over the decisions of the business?

A. Stockholders                                          B. Bondholders

C. The government                                       D. The workers in the company

4. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.

A. to issue bonds is a better way than to issue stocks

B. stockholders can sue the company when it is bankrupt

C. bondholders have the same rights as stockholders

D. investing in stocks has more risk than in bonds

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Tragedy struck for brothers Rob and Paul Forkan when they lost their parents in the 2004 Asian tsunami. Now, over ten years later, they're using their flip flop business to help other orphans.

The boys had an unusual childhood. They were just 11 and 13 when their parents, Kevin and Sandra, took them out of the UK education system and moved the family to Goa in India. Their parents were of the philosophy that they would receive a healthier and fuller education by traveling the world and helping others. There they did lots of voluntary work and mixed with the local community. It was when the family were on holiday in Sri Lanka that the tsunami hit. Although the children managed to escape, their parents tragically couldn't. But Paul says their upbringing meant they were able to cope with this tough blow. "Our parents gave us this confidence that we could do anything, that nothing was hard to achieve," says Paul.

What the boys did was to start a business selling ethically-sourced sandals. They're called 'Gandys' after the father of India's independence movement, Mahatma Gandhi. "He was in all our schoolbooks as kids; he's on all the money over in India;　 he's famous for wearing his flip flops," says Paul. The entire project was inspired by their parents’ philosophy, their globetrotting childhoods and what happened to them in Sri Lanka. Their parents had previously worked in the fashion industry before quitting their jobs and focusing on humanitarian projects. Thus, Gandys is a very fitting tribute to their lives. Gandys sells flip-flops and donates 10 percent of the profits from every pair sold to orphans around the globe. In conjunction with Gandys, the Forkans also founded Orphans for Orphans, a charitable organization dedicated to helping orphans. They say they can make a profit and do good at the same time: they give 10% of their profit to charity, and have set up their own foundation through which they've been able to open a children's home in Sri Lanka.

This year alone, Gandys has sold 250,000 pairs of flip flops, which is only expected to increase. In 2013, the business made around 1.2 million pounds ($1.8 million). With more profits, more orphans will receive assistance. Hence, it’s safe to say that the Forkan brothers are making their parents very proud.

1.The two brothers left the UK for India because _________.

A. the UK education system is not so good as that of India

B. their parents had humanitarian projects in India

C. the voluntary work in Goa attracted them

D. their parents expected them to grow through travelling

2.We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. the parents had great influence on the two brothers

B. the two brothers were left hopeless after the tsunami

C. their parents died soon after they settled in India

D. the two brothers had a troubled childhood

3.Why did the brothers name their sandals after Gandhi?

A. Because Gandhi wears and sells flip flops.

B. Because Gandhi always helps orphans.

C. Because Gandhi is influential in India.

D. Because Gandhi fits into their lives in India.

4. What can best describe the brothers?

A. Unlucky. B. Modest. C. Generous.　 D. Ambitious.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Orphans for Orphans

B. Making Parents Proud

C. Gandys: Making Money and Doing Good

D. Rise Up from Tragedy to Success

I find some of the ways in which Chinese parents show love for their children rather surprising. Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behaviors and theirs in this respect. Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want, from ice creams, sweets and toys to endless attention from the adults around them. Is this a sort of spoiling or love? I wonder.

Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love. We think love means educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life. That includes learning to accept the fact that he can't get everything he wants. As an adult, he will not always get the quite expensive car he hunts for; she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress she longs for. So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not getting what they want.

I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard. Without doubt, the child is the very center of a whole circle of adults, but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying according to adults' wishes. Many children of my son's age take piano lessons, painting classes and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning anything is a waste of time. So in this respect our children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed to play. But without this sort of play how can western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the children’s future life.

1.In which way do most Chinese children seem to be spoiled?

A. They can be supported by their parents

B. They can play whenever they want

C. They need not behave themselves

D. Their demand can always be satisfied

2.In the author's opinion, the life of a Chinese child is ________.

A. rather hard         B. rather easy         C. independent        D. colorful

3.The author think western children appear spoiled because ________.

A. they can manage time by themselves

B. they can have the freedom to play

C. they can take piano lessons

D. they may have expensive toys

4.The best title of the passage could be ________.

A. Chinese children's early education

B. How to develop kids' imagination

C. What is the real love for children

D. The imagination and creativity

It’s generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions（性情）, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why should we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character --- we infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance（符合）with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut’s advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

1.According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to _______.

A. determine one’s behavior　　　　　　　　　 B. reflect one’s taste

C. influence one’s surroundings　　　　　　　　 D. result from one’s habits

2.Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?

A. The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty.

B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.

C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.

D. One buys latte out of love of coffee.

3.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.

B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.

C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.

D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.

4.What does the author mainly discusses in the passage?

A. Personalities and attitudes.　　　　　　 B. Preferences and habits.

C. Behavior and personalities.　　　　　　 D. Attitudes and preferences.
