Text 1

Combinations of words in a language can be ranged on a cline from the totally free – see a man / car / book – to the totally fixed – not see the wood for the trees. This latter one is not only fixed in form, it also has nothing whatever to do with wood or trees. Between these two extremes, there is a whole range of nouns that take the verb see in a way that is neither totally predictable nor totally opaque as to meaning. These run from the fairly 'weak' collocation see a film (which elementary students learn as a 'chunk' without pausing to reflect that this is not quite the literal meaning of see) through the 'medium strength' see a doctor to the 'stronger' collocations of see danger / reason / point. It is combinations such as these – particularly in the 'medium strength' area – that are vital to communicative competence in English.

Answer questions 37 to 42 based on Text 2.

Text 2

The works of Kuhn (1996) and other scholars -a- the social construction of knowledge suggest that great insight can be gained -b- an academic field of study -c- investigating interaction patterns between and among scholars. Using a social network perspective, the intent of this study was to empirically explore the social interaction patterns among scholars in the field of sport management. A network model of coauthorship was generated using several rounds of sampling of scholars in the field and archival data collection from relevant journals. The derived network structure was then explored both visually and quantitatively for meaningful patterns. The results of the study essentially tell a story of the evolution and current state of the field’s collaboration structure. Drawing on propositions from the literature on the sociology of scientific knowledge generation, the findings are discussed relative to what the obtained network structure might hold for sport management scholarship.

Answer questions 43 to 50 based on Text 3.

Text 3

A frustrated executive of a large corporation recently remarked that he is convinced that reports are devices by which the informed ensure that the uninformed remain that way. This reaction, in perhaps less cynical paraphrases, has been voiced by countless people at all levels of management in both industry and government. It is important not so much because it epitomizes widespread discontent, but perhaps it strikes at the core of the systems by which information is developed, decisions are made, and organizations are managed.
          
As corporations grow and government agencies multiply, the need for effective management information and control systems becomes more critical, and reports are the essence of such systems. Unfortunately, many reports are less than ideal. At best, they are compilations of discursive discourses in ponderous prose. At worst, they are compilations of indigestible data that confuse and overwhelm the reader. As a result, important actions are delayed or never taken; or even more serious, the actions taken are based on misunderstanding.
