　　Peter Sands, Chief Executive of Standard Chartered

　　Sporting a Swatch watch and with the donnish air of a professor, Peter Sands is an unlikely banker. A.paid-up member of the frequent flyer's club, the 48-year-old chief executive of Standard Chartered is one of the few bankers to have made it through the crisis with his reputation intact.

　　Unlike rivals who were pilloried for recklessly driving their banks into the hands of the taxpayers, Sands is at the helm of a London-based emerging markets bank, which has enjoyed seven consecutive years of record profits. With his white hair and Alistair Darling-style black eyebrows, he also helped stave off the collapse of the UK's high street banks in October 2008 by devising a scheme that led to the injection of taxpayers' funds into Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and Lloyds.

　　Some of the secret meetings during the frantic weeks in the autumn 2008 took place in the City offices of Standard Chartered. Sands was also a co-host at the world Economic Forum in Davos this year and speculation in the City is that he is on track for a bigger office at the Bank of England or as a regulator.

　　But as he sits back on the sofa in his bright comer room, Sand's mind is on Standard Chartered, as he admits another crisis could be on the way.

　　eter Sands is the CEO of a school board.

　　A.Right

　　B. Wrong

　　C.Doesn't say

　　52、 After the economic crisis, a lot of banks have become bankrupt, but the bankers still enjoy popularity.

　　A.Right

　　B.Wrong

　　C.Doesn't say

　　53、 Peter Sand's rivals were struggling to their feet by taking money from the taxpayers.

　　A.Right

　　B.Wrong

　　C.Doesn't say

　　54、 Standard Chartered has been profitable for seven years in a steady manner.

　　A.Right

　　B.Wrong

　　C.Doesn't say

　　55、 As a senior officer at the Bank of England, Sands will independently chair the World Economic Forum in Davos next year.

　　A.Right

　　B.Wrong

　　C.Doesn't say

　　56、 Sands has plotted for a higher rank in the Bank of England.

　　Read the article below about the executive's report.

　　For each question (23-28) on the opposite page, choose the correct answer.

　　Mark one letter (A, B.or C) on your Answer Sheet.

　　Chief Executive's Report

　　Bennetts has remained the region's leading catalogue retailer in last twelve months. The company had distributed around five million catalogues, a figure which is unchanged from the previous year, and we now have 98 stores, an increase of twelve. As was widely reported in the media, merger negotiations with another catalogue retailer ended without mutual agreement.

　　It is true that this has been a difficult year,with a fall in trading profits, largely resulting from weaker consumer spending, but not helped by disappointing productivity levels in the stores. It. is also a cause of worry that production costs are continuing to rise. However, changes in the way we deliver to stores have led to considerable savings.

　　With the aim of improving customer service and shopping convenience, we have introduced a number of new services in the last twelve months. Shopping by internet was added to the existing telephone ordering facility, and the initial response to this has been good. In stores, there are now information screens for customers to check the availability of goods they want to purchase. Together with other existing systems, it will reduce queues and tell store customers when their orders are ready for collection. Thus far, this is giving positive results.

　　Another change.has been the placement of the traditional and modern catalogues with in a single catalogue. As a result,customers who used the Modem catalogue now have over 30% more products to choose from despite us dropping the less popular lines. Annual printing costs already show the benefit of this move,and sales are expected to start owing within the next year.

　　We have to change our plans for the coming year. It is clear that shoppers expect staff on stores to be both friendly and efficient. A.major programme to raise standards will be introduced at once, while the planned improvements to store facilities will be delayed for twelve months. The proposed interactive TV shopping service will not receive the go ahead, and neither will the planned redevelopment of the corporate headquarters.

　　Bennetts is changing fast, and we are confident that the newly appointed members of the management team will help us to improve sales within the next twelve months,even if there is no recovery in the economic climate. Our aim is to spend this time making sure that the company is as efficient as possible, and to delay our strategy of considering mergers and takeovers.

　　In the last year Bennetts has

　　A.opened a number of new stores.

　　B.merger with another catalogue company.

　　C.increased the number of catalogues it delivers.

　　59、 One improvement in the last year is that Bennetts has managed to

　　A.spend less on manufacturing.

　　B.increase productivity.

　　C.reduce distribution costs.

　　60、 As a result of developments in the last year, customers can now

　　A.find out if goods are in stock before ordering them.

　　B.collect their orders without queuing in the stores.

　　C.order goods by telephone as well as in stores.

　　61、 Replacing two catalogues with one has meant that

　　A.all the lines from both catalogues are available.

　　B.the catalogue has now become cheaper to produce.

　　C.sales from the stores are already increasing.

　　62、 Bennetts' main aim for next year is to improve

　　A.home shopping facilities.

　　B.the facilities at head office.

　　C.customer service in the Stores.

　　63、 Bennetts is hopeful about the future because

　　A.it expects the economic situation to improve.
