    快速应用开发(RAD)通过简单而直观的步骤使应用编程变得简单，从而减轻开发人员的负担。

    RAD工具为开发人员提供了快速而简单地构建一个完整功能应用所需的一切，这些工具能缩短修改已经完成的产品的工作量，这种修改是为了适应程序完成后的变化。使用RAD工具开发的应用就像计划那样构建。当应用的真实有效性出现时，使用RAD工具的开发人员必须能够有条不紊地添加新的特征。

    常见的RAD工具有Powerbuilder，Visual Basic，Delphi，Oracle/Development 2000等。RAD工具的主要特点是具有图形开发界面和可视计算技术的支持，程序员只需通过简单的鼠标点击和键盘交互操作，即可以快速生成应用程序代码。

    (45)小题的四个备选项中，只有beat和tack能与on搭配，其中beat on的含义是“火般照晒，波浪似扑向”，tack on的含义是“添加”。

    You've been engaged to manage a project. The estimated cost of the project is $1 000000. The project sponsor has approved this amount. Your earned value calculations indicate that the project will be completed on time and under budget by $200 000. Based on this calulation, your personal profit will decrease by $2 000.

    46．Given the estimated decrease in personal profit, what action you should take  (46)  .

      A. Invoice for the full $1,000,000 based on the contract.

      B. Add tasks to improve the outcome and increase the actual project cost.

      C. Inform the end-user that you can add features to the project in order to use the entire budget.

      D. Communicate the projected financial outcome to the project sponsor.

    [分析]

    你管理一个项目，项目的估算成本是100万，项目发起人批准了这一额度。你的挣值计算表明项目将准时完工并低于20万美元。根据这一计算，你的个人利润将减少2000美元。

    考虑到个人利润的降低，你将把项目的财务结果传给项目发起人。

     47．A key activity in closing out a project is to  (47)  .

      A. Disseminate status reports and risk assessment.

       B. Disseminate information to formalize project completion.

       C. Monitor the specific project results to determine if they comply with relevant quality standards.

       D. Transfer all the project records to the project owners.
