Read: "When the family firm was founded in 1972, its owner advocated one simple rule: no major decision without consulting the staff. As the company grew, that culture of trust gradually dwindled, and profits deteriorated with it. The new owners have now embarked on a review of every department, which, they insist, should be completed by spring."

答案: 错误 - 判断对错

Choose a social problem (traffic, loneliness, housing...). Explain what has exacerbated it and what might alleviate it, using at least four verbs from the set and one modal such as may well, should or needn't.
参考答案: Rising rents have undoubtedly exacerbated loneliness among young people, many of whom now live far from their friends. Councils could foster a sense of community by funding cheap local clubs, and employers might alleviate the problem by allowing more flexible hours. Such measures may well seem trivial, but over time they should curtail the isolation that so many people describe.
