A
ABC International) one of Europe’s leading educational organizations, has warned shareholders to expect a fall in full year profits. The company, whose flagship training centre in Copenhagen is currently being modernized and refurbished, made an interim profit of $ 12m, compared with $ 23m in 1998. In response to its poor financial results, ABC has announced plans to cut jobs in its French and Spanish centres. An employee spokesman said that the move would prove unpopular and that with insufficient employees, some centres would struggle to deliver the high level of service demanded.
B
Maarit Ehlers, former government adviser and the new CEO at CTAD in Finland, has announced cost-cutting measures at the company. This decision has already led to the resignation of one of the company’s most respected employees. Niina Rantanen had been with CTAD for over 15 years, most recently as its Head of Operations. It is believed that she objected to company plans to reduce staffing levels at two of CTAD’s plants. Indications are that further high level resignations will follow in the next few months. C
ITNET has finalised merger terms with AREN to create one of Romania’s largest computer software companies. Details of the merger are expected to be released later today. However, it is believed that ITNET’s plans to break into France and Germany have been put on hold for the time being and that major job losses will soon be announced. ITNET looks set to benefit from the merger with AREN, which has recently been awarded a number of major contracts, including a contract with the Romania Ministry for Finance, which will be worth in excess of $ 345, 000 for the company.

Sam Cargo has responded to redundancy rumours by revealing that it is to cut the number of office-based staff employed in its Scandinavian division by 25% over the next 24 months. The announcement follows confirmation that the company has also decided to postpone the planned upgrading of haulage systems at its Stockholm subsidiary. A senior staff member has revealed that Sam Cargo’s business has deteriorated in recent months due to the escalating price war with central and eastern European rivals.
E
Trivoli Chemicals, British industrial chemical company, announced yesterday that it is to cut 600 blue-collar jobs in a series of downsizing measures at three of its German plants. The news coincided with confirmation that the company also plans to dispose of its loss-making operations, SolvPaints, the industrial solvent and paint division. This restructuring comes as the company reported a sharp drop in pre-tax profits. According to a company spokesman, the proposed joint venture with DTR International, one of Trivoli Chemicals’ main competitors, is likely to be shelved.
This company is in the process of upgrading some of its facilities.
选项
答案
A
解析
第一句This company is in the process of upgrading some of its facilities的意思是“这家公司正在升级一些设施。”答案可以在新闻中的The company,whose flagship training centre in Copenhagen Is currently being modernized and refurbished,…中找到,这句话的意思是“这家公司在哥本哈根的总部培训中心目前正在进行现代化更新和装备……”。flagship training center字面意义为“旗舰培训中心”,指公司总部所在的培训中心。
