Our QVM hot drinks machine replaces this service, so that you can close the canteen between mealtimes.You can install the QVM hot drinks machine anywhere in the building. One machine is suitable for a staff of ten to fifteen people. It costs 1300 pounds to buy, or 11 pounds per week to rent over 60 months. It is not expensive to operate: for example, the cost of power for one day is 30p, nearly as cheap as the price of one hot drink from the machine.Our company will carry out a weekly service, at a charge of 10 pounds. We can also refill the machine with drinks ingredients for an extra charge of 8 pounds. Some customers prefer to do this themselves, however.There are eight choices of hot drink available from the QVM machine, and our company offers one month’s trial free of charge, so that you can estimate how popular the machine will be and see what the actual savings are.16.

The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives.Each top manager ---- none of them famous names, surprisingly ---- is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book from cover to cover. For a management book it isn’t expensive, although whether its good value formoney is doubtful.Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked their way up. Some are fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Stuart doesn’t seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuart’s book.I have to say that Stuart’s approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don’t know whether to accept any of his opinions.It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I have seen definitely don’t have. So in the end I am no wiser about what really goes on.Perhaps I am being unfair. As long as you don’t think about whether you’d like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position.Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.23. The reviewer suggests that one advantage of this book is thata. it is better value than other management books.b. it doesn’t need to be read right through.c. it is about well-known people.24. The book concentrates on the fact that the twenty executives who are intervieweda. work in a number of different industries.b. started their companies.c. have worked for different lengths of time.25. The reviewer cannot accept Stuart’s opinions because Stuarta. makes unreasonable complaints about the interviewees.b. writes too positively about the interviewees.c. has different attitudes towards different interviewees.26. Reading the book made the reviewer think thata. there are certain qualities which all Chief Executives need.b. it is difficult to discover how people really run a company.c. running a company is easier than many people think.27. Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading?a. how the interviewees became Chief Executives.b. what sort of people the interviewees are.c. the advice given by the interviewees.28. The reviewer recommends the book for people whoa. intend to set up in businessb. want to become senior mangers.c. are outside the field of business.Part Six●Read the article below about team-building.●Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B, or C given.●For each question 29 - 38, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.TEAM-BUILDING THROUGH ACTIVITIESNowadays, company bosses are increasingly trying to find unusual team-building events as part of their training program.

It is a truly international commodity, and today more than 50 countries in the world grow coffee beans. (example) ______I_____. ICO organization helps coffee producers and promotes coffee consumption worldwide.ICO estimates that world production next year will reach 97.5 million bags.11.3 million bags higher than the current year. (8) ____________. As the largest producing country, Brazil is particularly important in the coffee world. In 1994 Brazil was responsible for 25% of world production, Colombia was next with 13.4%, Indonesia had 7.5%, Mexico 4.7%, Guatemala 3.8% and Ethiopia and Vietnam were equal with 3.4%.Coffee is a tough crop, and can be grown in areas where it is difficult or impossible to grow other crops. (9) However, disease is always problem for coffee production, as we can see in some parts of South America at the moment.ICO is active in educating farmers about avoiding disease and dealing with problems when they occur. The distribution chain varies from country to country, explains Pablo Dubois. In most countries the smaller farmers sell their crop to a local trader, who then sells it on to exporters. There are, however, other distribution systems. (10) ____________. Some countries, like Vietnam, have special government marketing organizations for coffee. Coffee prices often vary greatly from one year to the next. In 1997, for example, there was a large rise in the world price, which was immediately felt by the consumer. Rising prices always result in a drop in sales, which will have a bad effect on those developing countries, which are highly dependent on foreign exchange from coffee exports. (11)____________.In the opinion of Pablo Dubois, the biggest problem for his organization is to create greater consumer awareness of the different varieties of coffee and different ways of preparing it. (12)____________. ICO is therefore concentrating its promotional activities on Russia and China. It is also encouraging environmentally friendly coffee production, and last year's seminar on coffee and the environment created a lot of interest. The future looks bright for the coffee industry. It is estimated that consumption over the next few years will continue to rise steadily. New markets like Eastern Europe and China are expected to develop fast.A. As a result, the membership now represents 94% of all exporters and 60% of all importers.B. In some of these countries, this can amount to as much as 50% of all export earning.C. In North America, most consumers already have above average knowledge of the range available.D. For example, frost and wind are particularly damaging to coffee crops.E. Larger coffee growers, for example, frequently export directly.F. The main reason for this is higher Brazilian output as production recovers from weather damage to crops.G. It is cultivated in mountain regions which can only be reached by animal transport, and in other difficult areas where modern agricultural equipment cannot be used.H. This is because there is a demand for coffee in Germany, and it is also sold in the UK and in the US.I. This make the coffee industry fairly universal, according to Pablo Dubois, Head of the International Coffee Organization (ICO), based in London.PART THREEQuestions 13-20Read the article below about stress management, and answer questions 13-20 on the opposite page.A Lesson In Stress ManagementDemands placed on us at work can often lead to considerable worry and discomfort. There are, however, ways of protecting ourselves from the stress we face at work. We interviewed Jane Collard, a consultant in stress management.1. In Jane Collard's opinion, stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace. Stress is a highly individual reaction, which varies considerably from person to person, and it is difficult for some employees to avoid it. Indeed, stress is regarded by many as part of the organizational culture of our institutions: it comes with the job. Recent figures indicate that time taken off work because of stress has increased by 500 per cent since the 1950s. Undoubtedly, changes in working conditions have led to greater pressure at work at all levels. With reductions in staffing, workloads for individual employees have increased. In addition, many employees are left worrying about the security of their jobs.2. On the stress management courses that she runs, Jane Collard tries to make the trainees realise that stress in itself is not harmful. Everyone needs a certain level of stress to enable them to feel motivated and to perform effectively. A complete absence of stress can be as damaging as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression. The difficulties occur when the amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular individual. If this happens, the effects are very obvious and the trainees are taught to recognize the signs. Stress may be expressed physically, for example through headaches and tiredness, or through emotional problems such as depression. A person suffering from stress may also start to behave differently, and can be difficult to deal with.3. While it may not always be possible to prevent stress, there are a number of ways in which it can be controlled. The first thing that the trainees learn is how to manage their time effectively. This involves, first of all, setting realistic goals for both the short and long term. Once this framework has been established, tasks are then prioritised on a daily basis. The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items should be left, and they should never hesitate to delegate. Everyone is encouraged to look at ways of reducing 'wasted time ', for example by grouping similar tasks together or dealing with items immedkiately.4. Jane feels that one of the most useful features of the course is that it enables trainees to deal with those demands or deadlines that they regard as unreasonable. They are encouraged to avoid being defensive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying 'no'. They are asked to give reasons only if necessary. The training helps them to foresee difficult situations or unwanted demands, and they learn how to prepare themselves mentally. Everyone is encouraged not to get stuck in negative thought patterns, where stress can feed a circular sense of helplessness. One solution they discuss is to think of a more encouraging alternative for each negative message. They learn, for example, to remind themselves that nothing terrible happens when a demand is refused or a deadline missed. Life goes on.Questions 13-16For questions 13-16, choose the best title for each numbered paragraph from the list below.For each numbered paragraph 1-4, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.Do not use any letter more than once.13 Paragraph 1 ______ 14 Paragraph 2 ______15 Paragraph 3 ______ 16 Paragraph 4 ______A Higher stress levels among top managersB Coping with stress through a positive attitudeC Time lost at work through sicknessD Causes of increased stress in the work environmentE Explanations for missed deadlinesF stress reduction through better organisationG Typical problems associated with stressQuestions 17-20•Using the information in the text, complete each sentence 17-20 with a phrase A-G from the list below.•For each question 17-20, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.•Do not use any letter more than once.17 Most people agree that the recent increase in stress is due to changes in ____________.18 The trainees are taught that the right level of stress at work is important for good.19 Trainees learn that one way of limiting stress is by deciding upon.20 One of the most important parts of the course is learning how to react to___A levels of performanceB shorter deadlinesC employment practicesD higher levels of sicknessE unfair demandsF successful management structureG practical targetsPART FOURQuestions 21-35·Read the text below about job prospects at the Provincial Bank.·Choose the correct word A, B, C, or, D on the opposite page to fill each gap.·For each question 21-35, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet.Employment Opportunities for Graduates with the Provincial BankThe Provincial Bank is one of the biggest (example) ____________ institutions in the U.K. With its 1,900 branches and 58,000 employees, it has (21) ____________ a household name.

剑桥商务英语考试真题第二版高级全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Cambridge Business ThingyHey guys! It's me again, your favorite elementary school kid who loves talking about boring business stuff. Today I want to tell you all about this crazy exam called the Cambridge Business English Certificate Higher that I had to take recently. I know, I know, it sounds really dull and grown-up, but just hear me out!So this exam is supposed to test how good you are at using English for work and business situations. Apparently, there are a bunch of big companies out there that want to make sure their employees can communicate properly and not mess everything up with bad English. Can you imagine - one tiny mix-up, and the next thing you know, they've ordered 10,000 porta-potties instead of 10,000 computers! Total disaster.Anyway, the exam has four main parts that you have to get through. The first one is listening, where they play all these recordings of people talking about business-y topics like supply chains, marketing strategies, you know, the real riveting stuff.And you have to answer multiple choice questions showing you understood what was said. I've got to be honest, trying to pay attention when some monotone British guy is droning on about profit margins for an hour is...well, let's just say it's a true test of willpower.Next up is the reading section, which is basically the same deal, except this time you're reading passages about corporate team building retreats and dealing with difficult clients instead of listening to them. Why anyone would want to read that for fun is beyond me, but I guess that's just how some people get their kicks. Give me a nice comic book any day!The writing part is where things got a bit more interesting for me. You have to write two business documents, like reports, proposals, marketing materials - that kind of thing. Finally, a chance to exercise some creativity! Although they did have pretty strict guidelines on formatting, style, even what specific information had to be included. It was like "Here's your chance to be creative...but only if you follow these 47 rules to the letter." Um, okay?But by far the hardest component was speaking. I had to have an actual conversation with an examiner about different business topics and scenarios they gave me. Picture this: A10-year-old kid trying to discuss corporate social responsibility and ethical supply chain management with a straight face. I'm pretty sure the examiner was stifling laughter the whole time. Hey, at least I got some practice at bullshitting my way through things I don't fully understand - a crucial life skill!At the end of the day though, I guess the Cambridge BEC Higher does serve a legitimate purpose in today's global business world. Being able to communicate clearly and effectively in English is pretty crucial when you're dealing with clients, colleagues or suppliers from all over the world. And having a certification that proves your skills can be really valuable.Plus, tackling an advanced English exam like this was definitely a growing experience for me, even if the subject matter wasn't exactly riveting kid's stuff. I had to step up my game in terms of vocabulary, comprehension, speaking fluency and all that jazz. Kinda like exercise for my brain muscles.So while it was a bit of a slog at times, I'm still glad I went through the process of prepping for and taking the Cambridge BEC Higher exam. I mean, how many other fifth graders can say they're certified in business English at a high level? That's some serious cred to pull out at the lunch table.Who knows, maybe this will open some doors for me in the corporate world after I finish elementary school. But for now, I'm just happy to have that certificate safely added to my collection, right next to my Webelos Badge and my Participation Trophy from the Spring Arts & Crafts Fair. Arguably even more valuable, am I right?篇2My Big Adventure with the Cambridge Business English TestHi friends! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I just had the coolest experience taking a really big English test called the Cambridge Business English Certificate Higher exam. I know what you're thinking - business English for a kid? That sounds super boring! But actually, it was a really fun challenge. Let me tell you all about my big adventure!It all started a few months ago when my parents said I could try taking the BEC Higher exam. They said it would be great practice for my English skills. At first, I wasn't sure what "business English" even meant. I thought it would be all about math and spreadsheets and stuff. Yuck! But my teacher Ms. Roberts explained that it's about using English in a professional work setting.She said the reading had texts like company reports, proposals, news articles and other grown-up things. The listening had recordings of meetings, presentations, interviews and more. For the writing, I'd have to write business documents like emails, reports, marketing materials. And the speaking would be roleplaying workplace situations. It sounded pretty challenging for a 10-year-old!To get ready, we did lots of practice tests from past BEC Higher exams. The reading passages were pretty hard with all the business vocabulary and Topics. Things like "revenue streams," "global logistics," and "integrated marketing campigns." I had to look up so many words! The listenings were tough too with all the different accents.But you know what? The more practice I did, the more I started feeling like a little businessman! I was understanding all the topics better and getting quicker at the tasks. My favorites were the writing questions where I got to pretend to be the director of an company writing all sorts of important documents. Like this one email I wrote telling our fake employees about a new labor union policy. I tried to sound very professional and authoritative!Finally, exam day came. I had my lucky spider-man pencil case and Ms. Roberts gave me a big hug and high five before I went in. The exam was loooong, almost 4 hours in total! The reading was hard but I stayed focused. The listenings threw me a few curveballs with some really strong accents. The writing tasks were great though, I got to write skills endorsements for employees and a proposal for a new eco-friendly product line. For speaking, I roleplayed interviewing someone for a sales director job. I tried putting on my deepest "BusinessTimmy" voice!A few weeks later, the results came. Mom and Dad were so proud when they saw I passed with a good score! To celebrate, we went to my favorite restaurant (a fancy steakhouse, of course - gotta practice those business dining skills!). Ms. Roberts kept calling me her "youngest businessperson."Looking back, studying for the BEC Higher was challenging but also a really unique experience. I don't think many10-year-olds get to pretend they're adult professionals writing important business documents and emails! It helped grow my English skills in a fun, different way. And who knows, maybe I'll end up running my own company someday. CEO Timmy has anice ring to it, don't you think? But first, I've got summer camp and 5th grade to look forward to!篇3The Big Tests for Grown-Ups at WorkHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I just learned about these really important tests that grown-ups have to take for their jobs. They're called the Cambridge Business English Certificates and they sound super hard!My dad has to take one of them soon. He works at a big company downtown and needs to prove he can speak and write English really well for his job. The tests have funny names like BEC Preliminary, BEC Vantage and BEC Higher. I think those names are kind of silly!The BEC Preliminary is the first level. Dad said it shows you can use simple English for things like taking notes in meetings or writing basic emails. The reading passages have pictures which makes it a bit easier. I'll bet I could do that one no problem!Then there's the BEC Vantage which is a lot tougher. For that one, you need to understand longer readings and be able to write business documents like reports and proposals. My teacherwrites those all the time for the school principal! The speaking part sounds really hard too - you have to discuss technical topics and hypothetical scenarios. What's a hypothetical anyway?But the BEC Higher is the craziest of them all! My dad has been studying his butt off for this one. You need amazing English skills to pass. Like you have to analyze and synthesize complex information from multiple sources. I have no idea what that even means! There's a tough writing task where you have to persuade or negotiate using all the right business language and formalities. Yikes, I'm so glad I don't have to do that anytime soon.From what Dad tells me, these tests are super important if you want a good career and make lots of money. They're recognized by companies all over the world as proof you can communicate effectively in English in a professional setting. Dad's boss told him he has to pass the BEC Higher this year if he wants to be considered for a promotion to Senior Manager.I went with Dad to register for the exam at this big important-looking building downtown. There were students of all ages there, from university kids to grandpas and grandmas! Some looked so nervous, like they were about to take the hardest test of their lives. The exam rooms were huge and hadhundreds of little desks. I definitely wouldn't want to write a test in one of those rooms!Dad said the reading passages cover all sorts of topics like finance, marketing, human resources and international trade. He showed me a practice test with texts about corporate mergers, joint venture negotiations and strategic planning objectives. I couldn't even understand the titles let alone the whole passages! How do grown-ups learn such boring stuff?The listening sections seemed pretty tough too - lots of recordings of meetings, presentations, negotiations, you name it. And there are all these little annoying details you have to pick up on, like the attitudes and opinions of the speakers. No thank you!After the tests, Dad will get scores for each section: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. An overall grade too which combines all the scores together. If he does well enough, he'll get a certificate to show he passed that BEC level. How cool would it be to get an official certificate from Cambridge University just for being good at English?Well, I sure don't envy my dad and all the other grown-ups who have to take these exams. They sound incredibly difficult and way too much work if you ask me. I'll stick to my simple spelling tests for now! But I guess if you want an awesome career,speaking and writing perfect English is pretty important. Best of luck to anyone out there facing these Cambridge BEC monsters. You're going to need it!篇4The Cambridge Bizzniss ExamsHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm going to tell you all about the Cambridge Business English exams. These are tests that grown-ups take to show they can speak and write good English for their jobs. There are different levels, just like in school when you start at kindergarten and work your way up.The first level is callt the Preliminary. That's for people who can use basic English for things like introductions, talking about their job, and asking simple questions. After the Preliminary, there's the Vantage level. People at this level can have more complex conversations about work situations, presentations, meetings and stuff.The next level up is called Higher. Grown-ups who pass this test are really good at English! They can understand long meetings, read difficult documents, negotiate with customers and colleagues, and give presentations to the bosses without getting all tongue-tied. Whew, that sounds hard!But the mega tough level is the top one - it's called Proficiency. Only super smart business people with amazing English skills can pass this test. They have to be able to communicate perfectly in any situation, no matter how complex. Things like legal contracts, high-level negotiations, public speeches...nothing can stump them when it comes to English. I'll need to study really hard if I want to get to that level someday!For each of these tests, the candidates (that means the grown-ups taking the exam) have to show they can read, write, listen and speak English really well for business purposes. There are different sections to test all those skills.In the reading part, they have to read all sorts of business documents like reports, emails, websites, proposals and articles. Then they have to answer questions to prove they understood everything properly. The questions can be multiple choice, filling in tables and charts, or even little essay responses. It's like a reading comprehension test, but super hard!The writing section is where they have to create different types of business documents themselves. Things like company reports, marketing emails, business letters, proposals and meeting notes. The examiners give them a scenario and details on what to include. Then the candidates have to produce awell-written document, using proper language, formatting and organization. Not easy when you're under pressure!Next up is the listening exam. Here the candidates listen to recordings of meetings, presentations, negotiations, lectures and phone calls. As they listen, they have to answer questions, complete notes, fill out forms, and generally show they comprehended all the important details and implied meanings. Missing a key point could mean failing the whole thing! The recordings are pretty realistic too, with background noises, accents and interruptions - just like in a real office.Finally there's the speaking part, which is my favourite because I love to chat! For this, the candidates have a real live conversation with an examiner. They get assessed on things like fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and coherence. The tasks could be role-plays of work scenarios, giving presentations and pitches, negotiating with a client, taking part in discussions and explaining data or diagrams. The examiner throws in some curveballs too by changing topics unexpectedly or asking tricky follow-up questions. No chance for the candidates to just recite memorized answers!Candidates get scores for each section: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Their overall score determines if theypassed that exam level or not. The higher the level, the tougher it is to get a passing grade. I can't even imagine how difficult the Proficiency test must be - you basically have to be perfect in English and able to handle any business communication thrown at you. Woah!So those are the Cambridge business English exams in a nutshell. Grown-ups take them super seriously because a good score can really help their career prospects and open doors to better jobs all around the world. I have a newfound respect for my parents after learning about these intense tests. Who knew business English could be so complicated? I'll be sure to pay close attention in my English classes from now on. Maybe I'll be proficiency level by the time I'm 30...or 40...or maybe 50! Haha, wish me luck!篇5The Big Grown-Up TestMy big sister Jane is in university now, studying business. She has to take this really big test called the Cambridge Business English exam. It's supposed to be super hard and important if you want to get a good job later on. Jane has been studying like crazy for months to get ready!Mom and Dad keep telling me how the Cambridge test shows you can speak and write in English really well for business stuff. Apparently, there are reading sections where you have to read documents and answer questions. There are listening parts too where you listen to recordings and conversations and answer questions on what you heard.The writing sections sound kind of fun though! You have to write emails, reports, proposals and other business documents. Mom says it's important to get the tone and formatting right. I like writing stories and letters, so maybe the writing part would be okay for me. Probably not the rest though!Jane said one of the hardest parts is the speaking test. You have to have a conversation with an examiner and do all sorts of tasks like presentations, negotiations, and roleplays. Yikes! I would be so nervous. Jane has been practicing her business vocabulary and pronunciation a ton.From what I can tell, the whole Cambridge Business English exam is meant to check if you can really communicate effectively in English in a work environment. They look at your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, comprehension skills, and how well you can produce different text types. Phew, that's a lot!Jane keeps going on and on about how important this exam is if she wants to get hired at a big international company after graduating. Lots of businesses and employers really respect and require candidates to have passed this test. My sister definitely feels the pressure!I'm just glad I don't have to worry about anything that advanced and grown-up for many more years. The Cambridge exam sounds crazy difficult to me! But Jane has been working her butt off and I know she's going to do an amazing job. She's so smart and aces everything.I'll be rooting for her on test day. Maybe after she passes, she can teach me some basic business English! Then in a decade or so, I can start prepping for the exam myself. But for now, I'm perfectly content staying a clueless little kid. Let Jane handle those intense, adult assessments. I'll stick to my spelling tests and book reports for the time being!篇6The Really Hard and Annoying Cambridge Business English ExamHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. Today I want to tell you all about the super difficult Cambridge BusinessEnglish exam that my parents are making me take. It's supposed to be for adults who work in offices and companies, but my mom and dad said I have to do it too. No fair!First of all, the exam is seriously long. Like, so so long. You have to sit there forever listening to people talk about business-y stuff like sales and marketing and budgets. Blah blah blah. As if I care about any of that boring grown-up nonsense! I'd way rather be outside playing soccer or riding my bike. But noooo, I have to sit inside and listen to endless recordings about corporate meetings and giving presentations. Someone help me!And you know what else? There's a ton of reading too. Huge long passages filled with fancy business words and annoying topics like supply chain management and international trade regulations. What even is that? Why would any kid ever need to know those things? The reading sections are soooo dull. I literally start falling asleep.But easily the worst part is the writing section. For that, you have to write essays and reports and emails using professional business language. Do you know how hard that is for a little kid?? I'm supposed to sound all proper and intelligent when I just want to write like I normally talk. One of the assignments is to review a business proposal and provide recommendations. A proposal forwhat? To get more ice cream servers at my school? Because that's about the only kind of proposal I care about!Oh, and I can't forget about the speaking part too. You have to pretend to have fake conversations and meetings about budgets, sales strategies, global operations...blah blah BLAH. Does anyone actually understand what any of that means?? It's all a bunch of gobbledygook to me. The examiners always say I need to use more formal language and idiomatic business expressions. But how's an 8-year-old supposed to know what that even means?Basically, this whole Cambridge Business English exam is a nightmare for a kid like me. The topics are boring, the tests are hard, and it's wayyy too much stress. Every night I cry to my parents "Why do I have to do this?? I'm just a kid! Let me go play outside!!" But they never listen.If you ask me, the Cambridge Business English exam should be optional for kids. Or at the very least, they need to make an easier version for children where we can write and talk about fun things we actually understand - like playgrounds, birthday parties, and video games. That's my kind of business!Well thanks for listening to me rant and complain, guys. I'm off to go sit for another 3 hour practice test about internationaltax laws and quarterly migration projections. Yippee...I can't wait. This whole thing is what nightmares are made of!!。

However, Quaker Company's income increases more quickly. What is the reason? First , Quaker Company spends much more money in advertising. I suggest we advertise on BTV, the most popular broadcasting station nowadays. Secondly , we should enlarge the scope of our after-sales service. We can open more service stations in many medium-sized cities. Thirdly ,if we have more money, We can hire more salesmen to sell cars directly to the customes, especially, more salesmen in medium-sized cities.三. 听力部分1. Davis2. Monday3. HI 834. curly5. Hanover6.

The power of speech is one of the most important possessions of the human race. It makes possible the exchange of ideas between men possible as well as the transmission of ideas from father to son.Part Three. Questions 23 to 30.Interviews conducted by members of the ECE, (Economic Committee of Europe) with enterprises engaged in third-market cooperation have identified several areas in which problems occurred. Many of these problems are characteristic of the particular industrial sector in which the cooperation takes place and cannot be generalized to supply to other sectors.When vehicles and machinery made under cooperation arrangements are launched on new markets, substantial modifications may have to be made in basic features. Such changesmay be dictated by a lack of servicing facilities for the prescribed frequency of service for the standard model and an operating environment that is different form that prevailing in either of the partner's home markets. Since acceptance of the product in question by the client depends upon the manufacturer successfully satisfying his specifications, the partners must closely coordinatetheir ordering procedures in such a way that these changed specifications are communicated in time to the manufacturing plants. If the producing enterprise has a long lead time as a result of internal planning procedures, it may find it difficult to make the necessary changes in the standard model during the time available, to the detriment of its relations with clients in the third market. Clearly, this is an area in which effective managerial techniques can prevent such problems from arising.Rapid fluctuations in demand are characteristic of the market for many of the chemical products manufactured under east-west cooperation arrangement. In order to respond to such shifts in demand, the supplying enterprise must remain in close touch with the market, either directly or through its western partner, in order to adjust its production schedules to take these shifts into account. Otherwise it may find itself with large inventories of unsaleable products while its partner may be in the difficult position of hastening to find4nalternativemarket for the amounts no longer required by the target market.In the turnkey-plant sector, partner enterpriese often discover that they derive totally different results from using the same local subcontractors. According to several western plant contractors interviewed, while the eastern partner obtained complete satisfaction from local suppliers, the western partner found little cooperation, forthcoming long delivery delays, and other shortcomings. This difference usually arises in the case of developing countries in which the western firm has no experience and the eastern enterprise may have been active for many years. Obviously in such cases it is recommended that the western firm rely on its partner's established links with local suppliers instead of attempting to deal with them on its own.Consumer goods make under cooperation arrangements and supplied to third markets often pass through a period of poor buyer acceptance, which is due to inappropriate or insufficient packaging. Since many branded consumer goods are distinguished from one another at the point of sale mainly by their packages ,the key to the successful introduction of a new product in a third market is correct assessement of consumer preferences. This assessment can best be carried out in the market-place by using up-to-date techniques for measuring buyer response to package shape, colour and presentation. Which partner should be responsible for conducting such testing, and。

Read the article below about recruiting and managing staff, and choose the best answer to the question from A,B,C and D.As a manager in the service industry sector, I’ve looked at hundreds of CVs in my time. They are not necessarily the bland documents some bosses might think they are! They are full of little pointers towards individuals’ personalities and suitability for the job. The first thing I always look at is an applicant’s employment record. I check for continuity and stability. If somebody has a long list of previous jobs, all of varying length, alarm bells start ringing. Rather than an irregular route from job to job, what I hope to see is stable career progression. What does their career path look like —is it all steps forward, or are there a lot of sideways moves? And I am always pleased to find a family person with children, because in my experience they tend to be responsible and reliable.I never rely on CVs alone. We get applicants to fill in one of our own application forms. We ask why they’ve applied, what their aspirations and personal goals are, and also about their interests and hobbies and any clubs they belong to. That gives you a useful insight into their personality and lifestyle. The application form also enables us to test how much people have actually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.It’s always worth looking at CVs and designing application forms with great care. Taking on employees might be rewarding, but it is also a big investment for any business. Mistakes in choosing staff can cost companies dear, so it makes sense to spend time ensuring you get the right person.In the service sector, one of the aims of companies is to maintain and improve customer service, and this is achieved partly through low staff turnover. You need to take on people who understand that and will want to stay. That’s why, when you’ve taken staff on, the next thing is getting the best out of them.My management style comes from the days when I took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could turn into a profitable company. The first thing is to treat others as you’d like to be treated yourself. As soon as I took over the business, I talk to everybody individually, and looked for ways to make sure their particular skills benefited the company.I didn’t have much experience then of managing people, but above all I always tried to be fair and honest with everyone. As a result, I think the staff knew that and accepted my decisions, even if they didn’t agree with them all. Also, bosses must be able to communicate. You also need to create team spirit, and build on the strength of the team. I explained my plans for the company to all the staff, and let them all know what I needed from them. The lorry drivers responded brilliantly, and were the key to turning the business round. They understood that we had to develop a professional reputation, and from then on the days of poor quality deliveries were over.Lastly, I am a great believer in profit-sharing. It takes a team to make a company work, so profits should be shared by all. Job satisfaction is important, but it doesn’t pay the rent. Shared profit and bonuses help to strengthen team spirit by giving everyone a common goal that they work towards together.21. What fact does the writer hope to learn from applicants’ CVs?A That they have experience of many different jobs.B That their careers developed steadily.C The opinion their employers had of them.D Whether they are married or single.22. The writer says the application form is useful because itA reveals something of the applicant’s character.B gives information about the applicant’s family.C explains what skills the applicant has for the job.D shows how much the applicant wants to earn.23. According to the writer, why are CVs and application forms so important?A Interviewing people is an expensive process.B They indicate whether applicants really want the job.C They indicate whether applicants are efficient or not.D Employing the wrong people can be disastrous.24. The writer believes profit-sharing is a good idea becauseA it encourages a competitive spiritB everyone earns the same salary.C everyone shares the same aim.D it creates job satisfaction.25. Which would make the best title for this text?A Profit-sharing as motivation.B How I turned a business round.C People ——the key to business success.D The importance of well-presented CV.Dear Mr. Ratanara,Re: Removal of business equipment from Singapore to Hong KongThank you for your telephone enquiry.

Our QVM hot drinks machine replaces this service, so that you can close the canteen between mealtimes.You can install the QVM hot drinks machine anywhere in the building. One machine is suitable for a staff of ten to fifteen people. It costs 1300 pounds to buy, or 11 pounds per week to rent over 60 months. It is not expensive to operate: for example, the cost of power for one day is 30p, nearly as cheap as the price of one hot drink from the machine.Our company will carry out a weekly service, at a charge of 10 pounds. We can also refill the machine with drinks ingredients for an extra charge of 8 pounds. Some customers prefer to do this themselves, however.There are eight choices of hot drink available from the QVM machine, and our company offers one month’s trial free of charge, so that you can estimate how popular the machine will be and see what the actual savings are.16.

The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives.Each top manager ---- none of them famous names, surprisingly ---- is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book from cover to cover. For a management book it isn’t expensive, although whether its good value formoney is doubtful.Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked their way up. Some are fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Stuart doesn’t seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuart’s book.I have to say that Stuart’s approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don’t know whether to accept any of his opinions.It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I have seen definitely don’t have. So in the end I am no wiser about what really goes on.Perhaps I am being unfair. As long as you don’t think about whether you’d like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position.Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.23. The reviewer suggests that one advantage of this book is thata. it is better value than other management books.b. it doesn’t need to be read right through.c. it is about well-known people.24. The book concentrates on the fact that the twenty executives who are intervieweda. work in a number of different industries.b. started their companies.c. have worked for different lengths of time.25. The reviewer cannot accept Stuart’s opinions because Stuarta. makes unreasonable complaints about the interviewees.b. writes too positively about the interviewees.c. has different attitudes towards different interviewees.26. Reading the book made the reviewer think thata. there are certain qualities which all Chief Executives need.b. it is difficult to discover how people really run a company.c. running a company is easier than many people think.27. Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading?a. how the interviewees became Chief Executives.b. what sort of people the interviewees are.c. the advice given by the interviewees.28. The reviewer recommends the book for people whoa. intend to set up in businessb. want to become senior mangers.c. are outside the field of business.Part Six●Read the article below about team-building.●Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B, or C given.●For each question 29 - 38, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.TEAM-BUILDING THROUGH ACTIVITIESNowadays, company bosses are increasingly trying to find unusual team-building events as part of their training program.

剑桥商务英语BEC高级阅读真题PART ONEQuestions 1 - 8· Look at the sentences below and at five passages taken from a book about famous management thinkers on the opposite page.· Which passage does each sentence refer to?· For each sentence 1 - 8, mark one letter A1 B, C, D or E on your Answer Sheet.· You will need to use some of these letters more than once.Example:He has developed his own company to promote his work.0 A B C D E1 Others in his field think very highly of him.2 His ideas have spread beyond the business world.3 He felt that people should be able to enjoy their work.4 His ideas are more complex than they seem.5 He did a variety of interesting things before writing his books.6 His most successful book was written with a colleague.7 He is particularly skilled at forecasting important developments.8 Contact with the military was an early influence on his thinking.A John AdairAdair is the pioneering British thinker in the theory of leadership. He was the first person in the UK to hold a professorship in Business Leadership and has published a series of influential books on the subject.Despite his quiet appearance, Adair has had a colourful life, serving in a Bedouin regiment and working on an Arctic fishing boat! His initial interest in leadership came from his army experience and he used to lecture at the highly prestigious academy where British army offices are trained. He now works as an international consultant.B Edward de BonoDe Bono is unusual among major gurus for two reasons: firstly, he was born not in one of the great industrial nations but on the tiny island of Malta. Secondly, his ideas have reached a wider audience than just managers, so that his books have become essential rending in many different disciplines.Most of de Bono s work has been concerned with the way human beings can train themselves to think more creatively. This apparently simple idea has resulted in 37 books and a highly successful career as a lecturer and consultant.C Peter DruckerProbably no other single thinker has done as much as Drucker to establish management as a serious area of study. Certainly, his fellow management thinkers consider him one of the foundingfathers of the discipline, and his books and articles are quoted more than those of any other management writer.His first book was published as far back as 1939, yet he is still writing and teaching. His greatest distinction has been his ability to predict coming trends in business and economics. As a result, his ideas are treated with the greatest respect and interest.D Frederick HerzbergAlthough relatively few contemporary management students will have read his books, Herzberg s name is instantly recognisable to anyone who has studied industrial organisations. This is because the American psychologist was responsible for introducing the concept of motivation into management thinking.As a young man, Herzberg became deeply interested in mental illness and the human need for mental and emotional satisfaction. This led him to criticise the approach of many companies to job design, and to argue for the need for job enrichment to stimulate employees efforts.E Tom PetersThe American s reputation was created in the I 980s by the spectacular success of one book, In Search of Excellence, co-written with Robert Waterman. The two were working together as management consultants and no-one expected their first (and only) book to end up selling 5 million copies worldwide!Although his ideas have been criticised, Peters popularity as a speaker and writer has continued to grow. So much so that Peters has created his own business to market books, videos and consultancy based on his work.PART TWOQuestions 9 - 14· Read this text from an article about health clubs.· Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill in each of the gaps.· For each gap 9 - 14, mark one letter A - H on your Answer Sheet.· Do not use any letter more than once.· There is an example at the beginning (0).Travel stress brings boom to health clubsA rapid growth in business travel has provided a lucrative spin-off for British health clubs as companies try to prevent hard-working executives from suffering travel-related stress.Health clubs are fully booked throughout the coming months all around the country and many are planning to expand their facilities.0 H According to Gillie Turner, group marketing manager for the Champneys group of health clubs, during the last recession executives lost many of their extra benefits as companies cut back. . 9 She says that large companies also seem to have decided that it is no good sending someone to a country like Spain as a reward for doing a good job, because they will simply eat too much and flop onto a beach. . 10Champneys, the company acknowledged as the market leader in this field, is now planning to introduce a special "Profiting from Stress" course, which will run over three days. . 11 Jonathon Stapleton, general manager of Champneys, says that modern corporate life being what it is, mostbusiness travellers find that they are having to do the work which - even a year ago - was done by two. 12To meet this new demand, other health clubs are also thinking of introducing similar schemes. Clare Brandish, the sales and marketing director of another health club, has noticed a marked change in the clientele at her club. . 13Businesses of all kinds are anxious to reduce absenteeism. . 14 Much of the problem is caused by long periods away from home, irregular hours, business entertaining and jet lag.According to the Guild of Business Travel Agents, sales of business-class airline tickets have risen by 12% in the past year, hotel bookings have gone up by 36% and car hire has risen by 24%. Dave Reynolds, the GBTA chief executive, says that the trouble is that the same number of people are being asked to travel more often. He comments that it is nowonder they need to take a break in a health club.A It has been calculated that about 40 million working days are lost each year in Britain because of stress, ten times as many as are lost 10 industrial disputes.B This has involved a considerable rise in the number of business bookings, whereas previously most clients came as private individuals.C Now they are being restored, as industry realises that the health of its executives is vital.D But who will benefit most from these developments?E Because of the pressures this imposes, many companies have now decided that it is worthwhile paying for their senior executives to take a proper break and get advice on how to combat stress.F Executives taking part in it will be given massages and health treatments, workouts and a range of talks on how to deal with stress, especially when travelling.G So what s the reason for this now trend?PART THREEQuestions 15 - 20· Read the following article on recruiting and managing staff and the questions on the opposite page.· Each question has four suggested answers or ways of finishing the sentence, A, B, C and D.· Mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet, for the answer you choose.As a manager in the service industry sector, I've looked at hundreds of CVs in my time. They are not necessarily the bland documents some bosses might think they are! They are full of little pointers towards individuals personalities and suitability for the job. The first thing I always look at is an applicant s employment record. I check for continuity and stability. If somebody has a long list of previous jobs, all of varying length, alarm bells start ringing. Rather than an irregular route from job to job, what I hope to see is stable career progression. What does their career path look like - is it all steps forward, or are there a lot of sideways moves? And I am always pleased to find a family person with children, because in my experience they tend to be responsible and reliable.I never rely on CVs alone. We get applicants to fill in one of our own application forms. We ask why they've applied, what their aspirations and personal goals are, and also about theirinterests and hobbies and any clubs they belong to. That gives you a useful insight into their personality and lifestyle. The application form also enables us to test how much people have actually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.It s always worth looking at CVs and designing application forms with great care. Taking on employees might be rewarding, but it is also a big investment for any business. Mistakes in choosing staff can cost companies dear, so it makes sense to spend time ensuring you get the right person.In the service sector, one of the aims of companies is to maintain and improve customer service, and this is achieved partly through low staff turnover. You need to take on people who understand that, and will want to stay. That s why, when you've taken staff on, the next thing is getting the best out of them.My management style comes from the days when I took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could turn into a profitable company. The first thing is to treat others as you d like to be treated yourself. As soon as I took over the business, I talked to everybody individually, and looked for ways to make sure their particular skills benefited the company.I didn't have much experience then of managing people, but above all I always tried to be fair and honest with everyone. As a result, I think the staff knew that and accepted my decisions, even if they didn't agree with them all. Also, bosses must be able to communicate. You also need to create team spirit, and build on the strength of the team. I explained my plans for the company to all the staff, and let them all know what I needed from them. The lorry drivers responded brilliantly, and were the key to turning the business round. They understood that we had to develop a professional reputation, and from then on the days of poor quality deliveries were over.Lastly, I am a great believer in profit-sharing. It takes a team to make a company work, so profits should be shared by all. Job satisfaction is important, but it doesn't pay the rent. Shared profit and bonuses help to strengthen team spirit by giving everyone a common goal that they work towards together.15 What fact does the writer hope to learn from applicants CVs?A that they have experience of many different jobsB that their careers have developed steadilyC the opinion their employers had of themD whether they are married or single16 The writer says the application form is useful because itA reveals something of the applicant s character.B gives information about the applicant s family.C explains what skills the applicant has for the job.D shows how much the applicant wants to earn.17 According to the writer, why are CVs and application forms so important?A Interviewing people is an expensive process.B They indicate whether applicants really want the job.C They indicate whether applicants are efficient or not.D Employing the wrong people can be disastrous.18 One reason why the writer was successful in her first business was thatA she was used to dealing with people.B she was open with the staff.C the business was already doing well when she started.D the staff agreed with all her decisions.19 The writer believes profit-sharing is a good idea becauseA it encourages a competitive spirit.B everyone earns the same salary.C everyone shares the same aim.D it creates job satisfaction.20 Which would make the best title for this text?A Profit-sharing as motivationB How I turned a business roundC People - the key to business successD The importance of a well-presented CVPART FOURQuestions 21 - 30· Read the article below about a method of learning languages for business people.· Choose the best word from the opposite page to fill each gap.· For each question 21 - 30 mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet.· There is an example at the beginning (0).Language learning for the busy executiveIf you've ever been told by your boss to improve your knowledge of a foreign language you'll know that ……(0)…… doesn't come quickly.

Read this text about the problem of Barclays Bank.The New LookWhen Sir John Quinton, then chairman of Barclays Bank, was given his marching orders last April, Britain's biggestbank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits ,Andrew Buxton, the bank's managing director and an offspring of its founding families ,was a pointed chairman and chief executive ,with effect from January1st of next year. It seemed a glorious victory for good business management. Is the problem solve do Certainly not.1. No sooner had Mr. Buxton been appointed chairman and chief executive than bigshareholders and quite a few board members began quietly to question his ability to do both jobs at once. Now ,weeks before he is due to move up ,the questions are louder. Many wish the bank had seized the opportunity LasyApril to separate the two top posts. And privately. Some wonder whether Mr. Buxton is the right man for either one. What started as a thoroughly British Whispering Campaign has assumed much bigger dimensions..2. Mr. Buxton has suffered it all ,but in truth he has no way out. After weeks of talking to shareholders and discussing with his non-executive directors ,he has accepted that Barclays will separate the top jobs sometimes in the future. How7 He says that there has been no formal discussion of it in the boardroom.3. Formally or informally, it has been agreed that Mr. Buxton will not be moved from his chairmanship, and thatBarclays must find a strong chief executive. Opinions differ as to whether this person should be chosen from inside or outside the bank. Several board members believe that there is no ideal candidate inside Barclays.4. Neither shareholders nor non-executive directors want to wait long. If the right candidate can be found, the bankcould combine the announcement of a new appointment with its annual results at the end of March. Mr Buxton stressedthe importance of getting this next step right, particularly since any appointment will mean overturning a management reorganization that was announced only eight months ago.Questions 13-16.
