PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (45 points, 50 minutes)
Directions: There are 6 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage 1
Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.
Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly
recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of
books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being
"works of art".
When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and
films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When
censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce
virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to
equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by
corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived
itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor
provides.
51．A censor's duty is ____.
A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films
B) to ban books and cut films
C) to distinguish works of art from others
D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people
52．Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.
A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy
B) censors prevent people from making profits
C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit
D) censorship limits the way people feel and think
53．When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means
____.
A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic
B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency
C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art
D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value
54．According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.
A) would be poor materially
B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted
C) could not develop its entertainment industry
D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits
55．All the following are the writer's views except that ____.
A) censors are fully qualified for their job
B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces
C) society will not do without censorship
D) many books, plays and films are not works of art
Passage 2
Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more
fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had
young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had
devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said,
but the truth was the state system was in a mess.
There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever
teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school
inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four
years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if
you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.
The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a
school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment
blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities,
such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 percent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.
56．The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.
A) compulsory education B) free private education
C) private schools D) the state school system
57．The French state education system ____.
A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers
B) seems to have no serious difficulties
C) is running smoothly
D) promises to maintain high standards
58．Private schools in France today ____.
A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse
B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to
C) have become victims of vandalism
D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values
59．Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.
A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas
B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities
C) almost everywhere in France
D) rather restricted to Birmingham
60．France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.
A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications
C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lots
Part Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.
Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.
The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.
The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.
The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.
The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.
81．A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating
82．A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly
83．A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable
84．A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing
85．A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program
86．A) about B) away C) down D) up
87．A) size B) length C) height D) breadth
88．A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done

90．A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden
91．A) them B) it C) us D) that
92．A) up B) down C) in D) on
93．A) When B) If C) Although D) Before
94．A) on B) to C) in D) at
95．A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying
96．A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume
97．A) as B) because C) while D) for
98．A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more
99．A) off B) through C) by D) from
100. A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D) practice

Section 1
Directions: Each of the following passages is followed with five questions. For
each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each
question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.” One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She went back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulat e you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
A third of British people are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal College of Physicians, the result of an 18-month-long study. About 5％of children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the mid-twenties age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middle-age population half are overweight.
Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is particularly risky for overweight people.
The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Current diets do far more harm than good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas (蒸气浴) merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says the report, serve as expensive holidays.
The report emphasizes that exercise is most important to health. Though it doesn’t necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat to body muscle. And it isn’t only for the young. From middle age a minimum of 20 minutes of gentle physical jerks should be practiced three times a week.
The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high prevalence of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce its increasing, and dangerously fattening consumption; and the provision of more sports facilities by local authorities.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.
If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, stable incomes or declining incomes—he would probably answer those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect
prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying.
The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most favorable to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on correct understanding of consumer psychology.
51. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should _______.
A. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money
B. carry out investigations on consumer behavior
C. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory
D. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending
52. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with______ incomes borrow most.
A. average
B. stable
C. declining
D. rising
53. The results of the investigations on consumer psychology carried out in America were
______ those of the investigations made at the same time in Great Britain.
A. not as good as
B. much better than
C. exactly the same as
D. somewhat different from
54. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to surveys mentioned in the passage_______?
A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease.
B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.
C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior.
D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable.
55. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article _______.
A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than
those in America
B. concludes that consumers always expect prices to remain stable
C. does not draw any conclusion
D. concludes that maintaining stable prices is correct business policy

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
Joe Bloggs worked in a large and famous company. The president of the company believed in keeping his employees (雇员) happy. One year，he offered them a pension (养老金) fund. The idea was that the workers would pay five percent of their wages into a pension fund. The company would also pay a sum equal to five percent. When an employee retired from the company，he could take with him all the money that he and the company had put into his pension fund.
“I will open the pension fund, ”the president of the company said, “as soon as you all agree t o join. Unless you all join, I won’t open the fund. You’ve got a week to make up your minds.
The idea was a very good one and everyone except Joe Bloggs agreed to join.
“I don’t understand it,” Bloggs said.
His co-workers tried to explain it to him, bu t he just kept saying, “I still don’t understand it.” Time passed and when there was only an hour left before the week was up, the president sent for Joe Bloggs to come to his office on the 20th floor.
“Mr. Bloggs,” he said, “all the employees agree with what I am going to say to you. So listen carefully.”
“It had better be good.”Bloggs said.
“Oh, it is,” the president said. “If you don’t agree to join the pension fund before I finish counting to ten, the security guards will throw you out of the window.
Joe Bloggs immediately signed the form which said he would agree to join the plan.
“Now that you have explained it clearly”, he said, “of course I’ll join.”
( )56.The company would put more money into an employee’s pension fund.
( )57.The employees could not take the money from his pension fund until their retirement.
( )58.The president gave his employees one week to decide whether to join the
pension fund or not.
( )59.Joe Bloggs was called to the president’s office two day s before the end of the week.
( )60.Joe agreed to join the pension fund after realizing its importance.

Part IV. Reading Comprehension (Short Answer Questions) (10 points; 15 minutes)
Directions: This passage is followed by five questions or Array incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then
answer the questions or complete the statements in the
fewest possible words. Write your answers on Paper Two.
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing: paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. And there are no pencils or pens, which, after all, always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm-sized (手掌大小的), or specially designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can search the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from math to s ocial science.
And exams can go online, too. At a school in Tennessee, U.S.A., students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them into his or her own electronic grade book.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. The school teacher, Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, U.S.A., said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to the students. “Think about the money and trees we could save wit h the computers, ”she said.
But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problem, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.
61. Students use____________________________ instead of doing any handwriting
in a paperless classroom.
62. Texts for a paperless classroom are from____________________________.
63. When an exam goes online, the teacher will easily record the grades on the
network and then copy them into his or her own _________________________.
64. The last but one paragraph mainly tells us that ________________________can
be saved by the use of computers.
65. Paper textbooks are used in a paperless classroom if _____________________.

新剑桥商务英语高级习题 答案 Last revision date: 13 December 2020.
English for Business Studies Key to Unit 01: The three sectors of the economy This unit covers a lot of basic vocabulary concerning developed economies much of it in an extract from a well-known British novel. It also discusses the evolution of the economy of most of the older industrialized countries, with the decline of manufacturing industry and its replacement by services. There is an extract from a magazine interview with an economist and an interview with a British Member of Parliament on this issue. 1a Vocabulary p09 Identify the most prominent features in this photograph, which illustrates various important elements of the infrastructure of a modern industrialized country. The photo clearly shows a large factory (the Unilever factory in Warrington, England) in the center, with more factories, industrial units, or warehouses in the top right-hand corner. The large factory seems to include some office buildings. Also visible are agricultural land (in the background; the land in the foreground doesn’t appear to be cultivated), a river, a railway and several roads, and housing, perhaps with a school in the center of the housing estate top left. 1b Reading p10 What is the key point that this extract is making about economies? The text suggests that most people take for granted the amazing complexity of the economic infrastructure. 1c Comprehension p11 lines 4-7, Robyn sees examples of all three. What are they? Tiny fields (the primary sector), factories (the secondary sector), and railways, motorways, shops, offices, and schools (the tertiary sector). long sentence from lines 12-28 lists a large number of operations belonging to the different sectors of the economy. Classify the 18 activities from the passage Primary sector: digging iron ore, mining coal. Secondary sector: assembling, building, cutting metal, laying cables, milling metal, smelting iron, welding metal. Tertiary sector: advertising products, calculating prices, distributing added value, maintenance, marketing products, packaging products, pumping oil, transportation. you think of three important activities to add to each list (not necessarily in relation to the kettle) Primary sector: farming (agriculture), fishing and forestry Secondary sector: manufacturing, transforming and processing Tertiary sector: financing, designing, retailing

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）

BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5) In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need. Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated. From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life. Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you
