问题                             News Report
    Randolph Chemical announced earlier today the selection of Michelle Brown as its new chief executive officer. Willard Strong, Chairman of the Board of Randolph Chemical, said, "We are delighted to have found someone of Michelle’s caliber to lead our organization."
    Michelle Brown brings to the table a reputation as a strict cost cutter. Prior to joining Randolph, Dr. Brown was CEO of Popovich Materials, where she reduced expenses by almost a third in her four-year tenure. Dr. Brown has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Wyler College and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Porter University.
    Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn around the company’s ailing fortunes. After her selection was announced, company stock dropped 1.2 percent in one afternoon.
    Randolph Chemical is a global technology-based company that manufactures and distributes plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. Their search, which took eleven months, was conducted with the aid of Darren Consulting.
Memorandum from: Michelle Brown
TO: All Randolph Chemical employees
    As you have probably heard, I will be assuming responsibility for leading Randolph Chemical effective Monday morning.  I want to take a moment to reaffirm the commitment of Randolph Chemical and of myself as its new head to treating every single employee with the fairness and dignity that he or she deserves.
    In the months to come I will be initiating steps to sell off those portions of our business in which we do not have the potential to become industry leaders, leaving us to focus on what we do best.  Due to time constraints, we will not be commissioning a new study of all of our holdings. Instead, we will base decisions on current in-house performance figures derived from our ongoing review process.
This is the beginning of a long journey for all of us, one I am proud to say we will make together.  I hope to meet as many of you as possible personally, and I urge you to become fully engaged in the process and to contribute your own ideas.
What is implied in the memorandum?
选项 A、The company will be doing more work overseas.
B、Dr. Brown has met many of the employees at Randolph Chemical.
C、Some positions in the company may be eliminated.
D、Temporary employees will be offered permanent jobs.
答案C
解析 在Michelle给员工的公文中，第二段第一句中，提及…sell off…business“要卖掉几个营业项日”，这预示着可能会撤销一些职位，所以选(C)。公文未涉及(A)“海外事业”、(D)“临时员工”和“正式员工”的内容。(B)公文第三段最后一句提到I hope…personally“希望能尽量和每一位员工进行面谈”，所以可知她和员工还没见面。
