2023年GMAT阅读模拟试题及答案
Recent years have brought minority-owned business in the United States unprecedented opportunitiesas well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themlves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large panies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that business awarded federal contracts of more than $500,000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the gover____ent. Indeed, some federal and local agencies have gone so far as to t specific percentage goals for apportioning parts of public works contracts to minority enterpris.
A cond risk is that White-owned panies may ek to cash in on the increasing apportio____ents through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of cour
, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterpris can team up (team up: v.(使)结成一队, 合作, 协作) to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have plained to Congress about minorities being t up as “fronts (a person, group, or thing ud to mask the identity or true character or activity of the actual controlling agent)” with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate joint ventures.
