Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: This part consists of two sections. In Section A, there are three passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. In Section B, there are two passages followed by a total of 10 short-answer questions. Read the passages and write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Section A Multiple-Choice Questions (20%)Passage 1新祥旭考研官网 http:/www.xxxedu.net/Questions 31 to 37 are based on the following passage. Federal efforts to aid minority businesses began in the 1960s when the Small Business Administration (SBA) began making federally guaranteed loans and government-sponsored management and technical assistance available to minority business enterprises. While this program enabled many minority entrepreneurs to form new businesses, the results were disappointing, since managerial inexperience, unfavorable locations, and capital shortages led to high failure rates. Even years after the program was implemented, minority business receipts were not quite two percent of the national economys total receipts.Recently federal policymakers have adopted an approach intended to accelerate development of the minority business sector by moving away from directly aiding small minority enterprises and toward supporting larger, growth-oriented minority firms through intermediary companies. In this approach, large corporations participate in the development of successful and stable minority businesses by making use of government-sponsored venture capital. The capital is used by a participating company to establish a Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Company or MESBIC. The MESBIC then provides capital and guidance to minority businesses that have potential to become future suppliers or customers of the sponsoring company.MESBICs are the result of the belief that providing established firms with easier access to relevant management techniques and more job-specific experience, as well as substantial amounts of capital, gives those firms a greater opportunity to develop sound business foundations than does simply making general management experience and small amounts of capital available. Further, since potential markets for the minority businesses already exist through the sponsoring companies, the minority businesses face considerably less risk in terms of location and market fluctuation. Following early financial and operating problems, sponsoring corporations began to capitalize MESBICs far above the legal minimum of $500,000 in order to generate sufficient income and to sustain the quality of management needed. MESBICs are now emerging as increasingly important financing sources for minority enterprises.Ironically, MESBIC staffs, which usually consist of Hispanic and Black professionals, tend to approach investments in minority firms more pragmatically than do many MESBIC directors, who are usually senior managers from sponsoring corporations. The latter often still think mainly in terms of the “social responsibility approach” and thus seem to prefer deals that are riskier and less attractive than normal investment criteria 新祥旭考研官网 http:/www.xxxedu.net/would warrant. Such differences in viewpoint have produced uneasiness among many minority staff members, who feel that minority entrepreneurs and businesses should be judged by established business considerations. These staff members believe their point of view is closer to the original philosophy of MESBICs and they are concerned that, unless a more prudent course is followed, MESBIC directors may revert to policies likely to re-create the disappointing results of the original SBA approach.31. Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage? A. The use of MESBICs for aiding minority entrepreneurs seems to have greater potential for success than does the original SBA approach.B. There is a crucial difference in point of view between the staff and directors of some MESBICs.C. After initial problems with management and marketing, minority businesses have begun to expand at a steady rate.D. Minority entrepreneurs wishing to form new businesses now have several equally successful federal programs on which to rely. 32. According to the passage, the MESBIC approach differs from the SBA approach in that MESBICs A. seek federal contracts to provide markets for minority businesses. B. encourage minority businesses to provide markets for other minority businesses. C. attempt to maintain a specified rate of growth in the minority business sector. D. rely on the participation of large corporations to finance minority businesses. 33. Which of the following does the author cite to support the conclusion that the results of the SBA program were disappointing? A. The small number of new minority enterprises formed as a result of the program. B. The small number of minority enterprises that took advantage of the management and technical assistance offered under the program. C. The small percentage of the nations business receipts earned by minority enterprises following the programs implementation. D. The small percentage of recipient minority enterprises that were able to repay federally guaranteed loans made under the program. 新祥旭考研官网 http:/www.xxxedu.net/34. Which of the following statements about the SBA program can be inferred from the passage? A. The maximum term for loans made to recipient businesses was 15 years.B. Business loans were considered to be more useful to recipient businesses than was management and technical assistance.C. The anticipated failure rate for recipient businesses was significantly lower than the rate that actually resulted.D. Recipient businesses were encouraged to relocate to areas more favorable for business development. 35. The authors primary objective in the passage is to _. A. disprove the view that federal efforts to aid minority businesses have been ineffectiveB. explain how federal efforts to aid minority businesses have changed since the 1960sC. establish a direct link between the federal efforts to aid minority businesses made before the 1960s and those made in the 1980sD. analyze the basis for the belief that job-specific experience is more useful to minority businesses than is general management experience36. It can be inferred from the passage that the attitude of some MESBIC staff members toward the investments preferred by some MESBIC directors can best be described as A. disapproving B. defensiveC. shocked D. indifferent37. The passage provides information that would answer which of the following questions? A. What was the average annual amount, in dollars, of minority business receipts before the SBA strategy was implemented?B. What locations are considered to be unfavorable for minority businesses?C. What is the current success rate for minority businesses that are capitalized by MESBICs?
