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.

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.

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.

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 will sell off assets to offset poor financial results.
选项
答案
E
解析
第二句This company will sell off assets to offset poor financial results的意思是“这家公司将出售资产,以补偿资金亏损。”句中的sell off assets即为cut的意思。答案信息在...plans todispose of its loss-making operations,SolvPaints,the industrial solvent and paint division.Thisrestructuring comes as the company reported a sharp drop in pre-tax profits.这里的dispose虽然本意是“处理、去除”的意思,但在此文中应是“卖掉”的意思。dispose的对象是SolvPaints,属于公司的资产,即问题中的assets。a sharp drop in pre—tax profits的意思是“税前利润大幅下降”,也就是问题所指的资金亏损。这句话的意思是“公司计划卖掉几个亏损企业。如主要经营工业用溶剂和油漆的SolvPaints公司。进行重组的原因是公司的税前利润出现大幅度的下降。”
