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.
D
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 has made cuts which are unpopular with senior staff.
选项
答案
B
解析
第七句This company has made cuts which are unpopular with senior staff的意思是“这家公司的裁减计划不受高层人员的拥护。”答案信息在新闻B,文中开始提到Maarit Ehlers提出一项裁减计划,即问题中所指的cut后文中It is believed that she objected to company plans to reducestaffing levels at two of CTAD’s plants.Indications are that further high level resignations will followin the next few months.其中的she指的是Niina Rantanen,Head of Operations(运营总监NiinaRantanen);objected to意为“反对”,与问题中的are unpopular with对应further high level resigna—tions will follow意思为“还会有更多高层人员辞职”,high level与问题中的senior staff对应。这两句话的意思是“普遍认为她反对公司在其两个发电厂裁员的计划。迹象表明,在接下去的几个月里,还会有更多高层人员辞职。”
