本单元测试卷旨在评估你对 IGCSE CIE 商务研究教学大纲中第 1 部分“理解商务活动”关键概念的掌握情况。试卷包含选择题、简答题和案例分析题，涵盖需求与欲望、生产要素、经营目标、企业组织类型和附加值等主题。每道题后附有详细答案和解释，以辅助你的复习。
1. Question 1: Needs and Wants | 第1题：需求与欲望
A business sells bottled water, smartphones, and designer handbags. Which of the following correctly classifies these products as needs or wants?
一家企业销售瓶装水、智能手机和设计师手袋。以下哪项正确地将这些产品分类为需求或欲望？
A. Bottled water is a want, smartphones are needs. B. All three are wants. C. Bottled water is a need if purchased for survival, smartphones and handbags are wants. D. Bottled water and smartphones are needs, handbags are wants.
A. 瓶装水是欲望，智能手机是需求。 B. 三者都是欲望。 C. 如果购买瓶装水是为了生存，它就是需求，智能手机和手袋是欲望。 D. 瓶装水和智能手机是需求，手袋是欲望。
Answer: C. Needs are goods or services essential for survival, such as water, food, and shelter. Wants are goods or services that people desire but are not essential for living. In this scenario, bottled water can be a need if it is necessary for hydration, whereas smartphones and designer handbags are typically wants, as they are not required for basic survival.
答案：C。 需求是对生存至关重要的商品或服务，例如水、食物和住所。欲望是人们渴望但并非生活必需的商品或服务。在此场景中，如果瓶装水是补充水分所必需的，它可以被视为需求，而智能手机和设计师手袋通常是欲望，因为它们并非基本生存所需。
2. Question 2: Factors of Production | 第2题：生产要素
A bakery uses flour, ovens, and bakers to produce bread. Which factor of production does the oven represent?
一家面包店使用面粉、烤箱和面包师来生产面包。烤箱属于哪种生产要素？
A. Land B. Labour C. Capital D. Enterprise
A. 土地 B. 劳动力 C. 资本 D. 企业家才能
Answer: C. In the factors of production, capital refers to man-made resources used in the production process, such as machinery, tools, and equipment. The oven is a piece of equipment that helps convert raw materials (flour) into finished goods (bread). Land includes natural resources, labour is the human effort, and enterprise is the risk-taking ability of the owner.
答案：C。 在生产要素中，资本指生产过程中使用的人造资源，如机器、工具和设备。烤箱是一种设备，有助于将原材料（面粉）转化为成品（面包）。土地包括自然资源，劳动力是人的努力，企业家才能是所有者承担风险的能力。
3. Question 3: Adding Value | 第3题：附加值
A furniture maker buys wood for $50, uses varnish and other materials costing $10, and sells the finished table for $120. What is the added value?
一位家具制造商以 50 美元购买木材，使用清漆和其他材料花费 10 美元，并以 120 美元出售成品桌子。附加值是多少？
A. $50 B. $60 C. $70 D. $120
A. 50 美元 B. 60 美元 C. 70 美元 D. 120 美元
Answer: B. Added value is the difference between the selling price of a product and the cost of bought-in materials and components. Here, the cost of bought-in materials is $50 (wood) + $10 (varnish) = $60. Selling price is $120. Therefore, added value = $120 – $60 = $60. This does not include other costs like labour or overheads.
答案：B。 附加值是指产品的销售价格与购入材料和零部件的成本之间的差额。此处，购入材料成本为 50 美元（木材）+ 10 美元（清漆）= 60 美元。销售价格为 120 美元。因此，附加值 = 120 美元 – 60 美元 = 60 美元。这不包括劳动力或间接费用等其他成本。
4. Question 4: Business Objectives | 第4题：经营目标
A newly established social enterprise aims to provide clean drinking water in rural areas. Which of the following is most likely to be its primary business objective?
一家新成立的社会企业旨在为农村地区提供清洁饮用水。以下哪项最有可能成为其主要经营目标？
A. Profit maximisation B. Market share growth C. Social benefit D. Sales revenue maximisation
A. 利润最大化 B. 市场份额增长 C. 社会效益 D. 销售收入最大化
Answer: C. Social enterprises are businesses that trade primarily to achieve social objectives, reinvesting the majority of their profits back into the social mission. While financial sustainability is important, their primary goal is to create a positive social impact rather than maximising profits for owners.
答案：C。 社会企业是主要以实现社会目标为目的而开展经营的企业，将大部分利润重新投入到社会使命中。虽然财务可持续性很重要，但它们的主要目标是创造积极的社会影响，而不是为所有者实现利润最大化。
5. Question 5: Types of Business Organisation | 第5题：企业组织类型
Which type of business organisation has a separate legal identity from its owners and can sell shares to the general public?
哪种企业组织类型具有独立于其所有者的法人身份，并可以向公众出售股份？
A. Sole trader B. Partnership C. Private limited company D. Public limited company
A. 个体经营者 B. 合伙企业 C. 私人有限公司 D. 公众有限公司
Answer: D. A public limited company (PLC) is an incorporated business that can offer its shares to the public through a stock exchange. It has limited liability, meaning shareholders’ personal assets are protected. A private limited company (Ltd) cannot sell shares to the public. Sole traders and partnerships are unincorporated and do not have a separate legal identity.
答案：D。 公众有限公司 (PLC) 是一家可注册成立并可透过证券交易所向公众发售股票的企业。它承担有限责任，意味着股东的个人资产受到保护。私人有限公司 (Ltd) 不能向公众出售股份。个体经营者和合伙企业是非法人组织，没有独立的法人身份。
6. Question 6: Define Specialisation | 第6题：定义专业化
Define the term ‘specialisation’ in the context of business activity.
在商务活动的背景下定义“专业化”一词。
Answer: Specialisation occurs when individuals, businesses, regions, or countries concentrate on producing a limited range of goods or services in which they have an advantage. This leads to higher efficiency, improved quality, and lower production costs. For example, a factory worker may specialise in a single repetitive task on an assembly line, increasing output per worker.
答案： 专业化是指个人、企业、地区或国家集中生产其具有优势的有限范围的商品或服务。这会导致更高的效率、更好的质量和更低的生产成本。例如，工厂工人可以专门从事装配线上单一重复的任务，从而提高人均产量。
7. Question 7: Advantages of a Sole Trader | 第7题：个体经营者的优势
State two advantages of operating a business as a sole trader.
列出作为个体经营者经营企业的两个优势。
Answer: 1. Easy to set up – a sole trader business can be established quickly with minimal legal requirements and paperwork. 2. Full control – the owner makes all business decisions independently and retains all profits after tax. There is no need to consult partners or shareholders, allowing for quick decision-making.
答案： 1. 易于设立 – 个体经营者企业可以快速成立，所需的法律要求和文书工作极少。 2. 完全控制 – 所有者独立做出所有商业决策，并保留所有税后利润。无需咨询合伙人或股东，从而能够快速做出决策。
8. Question 8: Private vs Public Limited Companies | 第8题：私人有限公司与公众有限公司
Explain one key difference between a private limited company and a public limited company.
解释私人有限公司与公众有限公司之间的一个关键区别。
Answer: A major difference is the ability to sell shares. A private limited company (Ltd) cannot advertise its shares for sale to the general public; shares are usually sold privately to family and friends. In contrast, a public limited company (PLC) can offer its shares to the public on a stock exchange, which makes it easier to raise large amounts of capital but also subjects it to stricter regulatory requirements.
答案： 一个主要区别是出售股份的能力。私人有限公司 (Ltd) 不能向公众广告出售其股份；股份通常私下出售给家人和朋友。相比之下，公众有限公司 (PLC) 可以在证券交易所向公众发售股份，这使得筹集大量资金更加容易，但也使其受到更严格的监管要求。
9. Question 9: Case Study – Added Value Calculation | 第9题：案例分析 – 附加值计算
XYZ Bakery makes custom cakes. For each cake, the following costs are incurred:
XYZ 面包店制作定制蛋糕。每个蛋糕产生的成本如下：
| Item / 项目 | Cost per cake ($) / 每个蛋糕的成本（美元） |
| Flour, sugar, eggs / 面粉、糖、鸡蛋 | 4.00 |
| Decoration materials / 装饰材料 | 2.50 |
| Packaging / 包装 | 1.20 |
The cake sells for $20. Calculate the added value per cake and suggest one way the bakery could increase added value.
蛋糕售价为 20 美元。计算每个蛋糕的附加值，并提出一种面包店可以增加附加值的方法。
Answer: Added value = Selling price – Cost of bought-in materials. Total materials cost = $4.00 + $2.50 + $1.20 = $7.70. Therefore, added value = $20.00 – $7.70 = $12.30 per cake. To increase added value, the bakery could improve the product’s design or quality, such as using premium decorations, to justify a higher selling price. Alternatively, it could reduce the cost of materials by purchasing in bulk while maintaining the same selling price.
答案： 附加值 = 销售价格 – 购入材料成本。总材料成本 = 4.00 美元 + 2.50 美元 + 1.20 美元 = 7.70 美元。因此，附加值 = 20.00 美元 – 7.70 美元 = 每个蛋糕 12.30 美元。为了增加附加值，面包店可以改进产品设计或质量，例如使用高级装饰，以支持更高的售价。或者，也可以通过批量采购降低材料成本，同时保持相同的售价。
10. Question 10: Case Study – Franchise | 第10题：案例分析 – 特许经营
Maria is considering buying a franchise from a well-known fast-food chain. She would pay an initial franchise fee and ongoing royalties. The franchisor provides training, brand recognition, and a proven business model.
玛丽亚正在考虑从一家知名快餐连锁店购买特许经营权。她将支付初始特许经营费以及持续的特许权使用费。特许人提供培训、品牌知名度和经过验证的商业模式。
a) Identify two advantages for Maria of operating as a franchisee rather than setting up her own independent restaurant. b) Identify one disadvantage she might face.
a) 指出玛丽亚作为特许经营商而非设立自己独立餐厅的两个优势。 b) 指出她可能面临的一个劣势。
Answer a): 1. Lower risk of failure – the franchise has an established brand and customer base, reducing the uncertainty of starting a new business. 2. Support and training – the franchisor provides staff training, marketing, and ongoing advice, which helps Maria operate the outlet efficiently from day one.
答案 a)： 1. 失败风险较低 – 特许经营拥有成熟的品牌和客户群，降低了创办新企业的不确定性。 2. 支持和培训 – 特许人提供员工培训、市场营销和持续建议，帮助玛丽亚从第一天起有效运营门店。
Answer b): One disadvantage is the lack of independence. Maria must follow the franchisor’s strict operational guidelines, including menu, pricing, and store layout, which limits her ability to make creative business decisions. Additionally, she must pay ongoing royalties, which reduce overall profits.
答案 b)： 一个劣势是缺乏独立性。玛丽亚必须遵守特许人严格的运营指南，包括菜单、定价和店面布局，这限制了她做出创造性商业决策的能力。此外，她必须支付持续的特许权使用费，这会降低整体利润。
