Somewhere in the world a new McDonalds opens every 3 hours and Now they have furth

28、er plans for our community Whats wrong with the McDonalds planning application? Why the big Mac is a big market for our community?McDonalds (the $30 billion multinational fast-food chain) has lodged a planning application to build a “Drive-Thru” restaurant in our area. If allowed to go ahead, their

29、proposal will bring significant and unwelcome changes to our community. While there are numerous reasons to object to McDonalds in general, there are a number of specific issues relevant to this planning application. Traffic and Safety While the government and local authorities are being encouraged

30、to make decisions that reduce traffic levels and the dependence on car use, it is ironic that McDonalds expansion plans revolve around “Drive-Thrus”. If their application is approved, we will experience a significant rise in traffic levels in our already busy area. The new traffic created will cause

31、 nuisance to existing traffic and increase the danger of accidents for pedestrians. Litter, Noise and Smells While our area already suffers from noticeable litter and vandalism (故意破坏), the planned McDonalds will only make things worse. The proposal includes very long opening hours (7 am-11 pm, 7 day

32、s a week), and will result in noise and disturbances at all hours for local residents. During the hot summer months, the smell from the kitchens, from waste storage and from litter discarded by customers may become offensive and attract vermin. Community and Local Business Neon lights, tacky signs a

33、nd adverts will change the character of the area and may represent the start of an unwelcome trend in our locality. Existing local businesses will lose trade to multinationals that will drain the life-blood from our community. While McDonalds claims to offer new job opportunities, the majority of th

34、e jobs will be low paid, non-skilled, part-time jobs with no guaranteed hours. As local businesses lose trade, people already employed may find themselves made redundant.

Choose the best answer for each statement or question from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark t

46、he 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 physical goods. International f

47、reight 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 valuable experience in internationa

48、l 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 some of their intangible assets

49、, 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 franchising, technical agreements,

50、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 other contractual agreements

51、 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 exports no longer profitable.

52、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 government. Licensing can als

53、o 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 by an international company

54、 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 generally make direct investment

55、s 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 sold on the world market. A sec

56、ond 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 finished goods are then exported

57、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 for the purpose of competin

58、g 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 would be less likely to lose

59、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 finished productsD. technica

60、l 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. Exporters wont face currency flu
