第1题：

(b) Anne is experiencing some tension due to the conflict between her duties and responsibilities as an employee of

Fillmore Pierce and as a qualified professional accountant.

Required:

(i) Compare and contrast her duties and responsibilities in the two roles of employee and professional

accountant. (6 marks)


正确答案：
(b) (i) Contrasting roles
Joint professional and organisational roles are common to most professionals (medical professionals, for example).
Although the roles are rarely in conflict, in most cases it is assumed that any professional’s primary duty is to the public
interest rather than the organisation.
Organisational role
As a member of the staff of Fillmore Pierce, Anne is a part of the hierarchy of an organisation and answerable to her
seniors. This means that under normal circumstances, she should comply with the requirements of her seniors. As an
employee, Anne is ultimately accountable to the principals of the organisation (the partners in an audit firm or the
shareholders in a company), and, she is subject to the cultural norms and reasonable expectations of work-group
membership. It is expected that her behaviour at work will conform. to the social and cultural norms of the organisation
and that she will be efficient and hard working in her job.
Professional role
As an accountant, Anne is obliged to maintain the high professional and ethical standards of her profession. If her
profession is underpinned by an ethical or professional code, she will need to comply with that in full. She needs to
manage herself and co-ordinate her activities so as to meet professional standards. In this, she needs to ensure that she
informs herself in current developments in her field and undertakes continuing professional development as required by
her professional accounting body. She is and will remain accountable to her professional body in terms of continued
registration and professional behaviour. In many cases, this accountability will be more important than an accountability
to a given employer as it is the membership of the professional body that validates Anne’s professional skills.

A Society Without a Formal Authority

In the seventeenth century,European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the westem Great Lakes found that several native tribes（部落）were living in the area without a formal leadership system.They appeared to be"quite friendly with each other without a formal authority"!
Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority,but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions.All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong（一生的）familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus,although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders,no real authority was required.Rather than giving direct orders(which were considered rough),members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.
It would be difficult,if not impossible,to carry out such a system in our own society.Most oi us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents,our teachers,our bosses,our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell u, what to do.The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workabl( society without it.We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
Of course,the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large.The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often undertight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system,in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.

According to the author,it is hard for a society to work without_______.
A:a recognized authority
B:enough money
C:examples
D:changes

答案：A
解析：
本题问“下列哪项关于欧洲士兵的陈述是正确的？”文章第一段提到“欧洲士兵偶然遇见一群居住在西部大湖群的印第安人”。选项A、选项B、选项D在文中都未提到。因此选项C“他们偶然遇见一些印第安部落”符合题意。
本题问“通过何种方法部落成员使其他成员做事”。文章第二段末尾提到“部落成员通过榜样的力量唤起其他成员采取行动，而不是发出直接命令”。由此可知选项 B“通过榜样”符合题意。
本题是“根据作者的看法，一个社会没有······很难运转”。文章第三段中间提到："The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it.”因此选A。
本题是“读过文章，可得出结论······”。文章前两段谈到印第安部落的制度模式，第三段提到“It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society"，第四段解释我们的社会不能执行印第安人的制度的原因。综上所述，选项D“印第安制度很难在我们的社会中执行”符合题意。implement等于carry out（执行）。
本题是“从文章中可以看出，执行我们社会中的任务······”。文章最后一段说“The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time"。因此选项C“没有任何施延”符合提议。
