2019年BEC商务英语初级备考模拟练习试题及答案三Read the following extract from a book on management and the questions on the opposite page .For each question 15– 20,mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose .In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected tosee 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 turnedinside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing–led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwardsat customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In thelast eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, withfurther downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The ro le of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitablethat the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easytask. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have workedfor over many years. This is understandable, since many ofthe old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , theyhave had to face up to the fact that they no longer have ajob for life.Research indicates that people respond to thispredicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to thenew situation：on the one hand there are the “ pragmatists” and on the other “ the highly anxious” the former see their job as a means to an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to their local term , rather than the company as a whole . the second category, usuallythe majority, may respond to threatened changes with afeeling of having been let down, and even feel anger at the company for what they see as changing the terms of their employment.The employee communication process needs to be capableof accurately directing its messages at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is why middle managers and line managers .are so key to communication. They are the people whoknow about the full rage of concerns among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit.Concordia puts responsibility for communication firmly online managers. All their research points to the same conclusion： people prefer to get their information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationship and where arguments and hearts and minds –are lost.The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soon as you can. If youcan’t provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yourself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communication is that there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders.15： in the last eight years, Concordia has .A made over 80.000 employees reduncdant.B completed a period of downsizing.C reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%.D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy.16 from Concordia’s point of view, the role of communication is to .A win employee support before going ahead with the changes.B change the company’s core activities.C emphasise the positive aspects of the changes.D explain the need for the changes.17 what does research show about most employees’ response to change?A they expect it to have a bad effect on the company.B they feel completely powerless.C they become less loyal.D they fell they have been treated unfairly.18 Concordia’s communication process mainly relies on.A printed communication.B departmental heads.C personal communication.D a separate, specialized unit.19 According to the writer, what is theguiding ;principle about giving information within an organization?A Never make promises about future developments.B Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stage .C always include plenty of hard information .D Hold back until all the details can be provided .20 which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article?A employee attitudes to company communication .B making company communication more effective .C Researching company commmucation .D Making employees feel less powerless .参考答案： 15 A 16-20 CDCBB.。

2019年商务英语（BEC）考前初级模拟试题及答案（5）A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tailor the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really knowtheir business do not follow other people’s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you wantto begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers.

2019年商务英语BEC初级模拟试题及答案Read the text about career-planning services.Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill 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)Your Career Path Can Lead You AnywhereWe used to be advised to plan our careers. We were told to make a plan during the later stages of our education and continue with it through our working lives.(0)_____ some people still see careers in this way. However, to pursue a single option for life has always been unrealistic.Planning for a single career assumes that we set out with a full understanding of our likes and dislikes and the employment opportunities open to us. (9)____ For most people this degree of certainty about the future does not exist.Our initial choice of career path and employer is often based on inadequate knowledge and false perceptions. But with age and experience, we develop new interests and aptitudes and our priorities alter. The structure of the employment market and, indeed of employment itself, is subject to change as both new technologies and new work systems are introduced (10) _____ We must face the uncertainties of a portfolio career.It is clear from the recent past that we cannot foresee the changes which will affect our working lives. The pace of change is accelerating , as a result of which traditional career plans will be of very limited use. (11)_____ They will need updating to reflect changes in our own interests as well as in the external work environment. Flexible workers already account for about half the workforce. (12)______ We arelikely to face periods as contract workers, self-employed freelances, consultants, temps or part-timers.Many employers encourage staff to write a personal development development (PDP) (13)_____ Although some people use it only to review the skills needed for their job, a PDP could be the nucleus of wider career plan –setting out alternative long-term learning needs and a plan of self-development.A report issued by the Institute of Employment Studies advises people to enhance their employability by moving from traditional technical skills towards the attainment of a range of transferable skills. (14)_____ Instead, special schemes should be established to encourage people to examine their effectiveness and to consider a wider range of needs.0 A B C D E F G HA This dual effect means that the relationship between employers and workers has evolved to such and extent that we can no longer expect a long-term relationship with one employer.B. It carries an implicit assumption that we ourselves, and the jobs we enter, will change little during our working lives.C. This growth suggests that a career plan should not be expressed only in terms of full-time employment but should make provision for the possibility of becoming one of the.D this is a summary of one’s personal learning needs and an action plan to meet them.E Consequently, they must now accommodate a number of objectives and enable us to prepare for each on a contingency basis.F However, it warns that employers often identifytraining needs through formal appraisals, which take too narrow a view of development.G . Such a freelance of consultant would be constantly in demand.H We were expected to work towards that one clear goal and to consider a career change as a bad thing.参考答案：9 B 10 A 11E 12C 13D 14F9.本段是说在职业生涯中设立一个单独的目标的影响。

But there’s truth behind her enthusiasm.Take Carole Palmer, the group resources director. She joined Xerox in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. ‘Xerox has been good to me over the years,’ she says. ‘It has supported me through qualifications … and last year I took part in the vice-president incumbent program.’ Human resources is taken seriously at Xerox, Palmer says, and the company has a policy of promoting from within (which would explain Moloney’s amazement at her colleagues’ longe vity). The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who joined having already acquired a couple of years’ work experience. She started as a project manager for Xerox Global Services before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to‘grow and maintain customer relationships’.Moloney is based at the head office in Uxbridge. ‘It’s great in terms of working environment,’ she says. ‘We’ve just got a new provider in the canteen and … we have brainstormi ng rooms and breakout areas.’ Much of Moloney’s role is visiting clients, so shedoesn’t have a permanent desk at head office. ‘I’m a hot-desker, which is good because you get to sit with different people in the hot-desk areas. And you’re given a place to store your things.’ Head office staff numbers between 1,200 and 1,500 people, Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets, research and development and manufacturing, means that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants.Perks include a final-salary pension scheme and various discount schemes. The reward and recognition scheme is a little different, and rather nice: ‘Each manager has a budget every year to recognize and reward staff,’ Palmer says. ‘It can be in the form of a meal for two, or a bottle of wine. It can be up to £1,000. There’s the recognition, and then there’s putting money behind it.’ Moloney, however, likes the non-cash rewards. ‘Xerox takes care of all its staff but it also recognizes the people who put in the added effort,’ she says. ‘It offers once-in-a-lifetime incentive trips, and recently I organized a sailing trip for my team.’The idea of working abroad with the company appeals to her, and she says that her career goal is to be part of the senior management team. Here’s another employee, it would seem, who is in it for the long haul.( )1.The journalist of this article thinks that .A. staff at Xerox are not telling the truth abut the company.B. Xerox offers great benefits to staff.C. Xerox is the best company in the world.D. Xerox has the best working environment.( )2.The company tends to find its new manager .A. only form graduatesB. on training coursesC. from existing staffD. from job markets( )3.What does the phrase “to take on” in the sentence “The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and …” of the second paragraph mean? .A. To trainB. To employC. To interviewD. To maintain(A)( )4.As well as recognizing its staff through promotion, Xerox .A. gives cash bonusesB. gives unpaid leave to take trips of a lifetime.C. provides a number of perks.D. provides huge end-of-year bonuses.( )5.One common feature of Xerox staff is that they tend .A. to work hardB. to get promotedC. work longer hours each dayD. not to change employerPassage TwoEven if you get work done and generally get along with co-workers, you could have habits that bug your boss (not to mention your officemates). While these quirks may not necessarily get you fired, they certainly can keep you from climbing the corporate ladder. We’ve uncov ered a number of habits that bug your boss and offer tips on how to avoid them.According to LaRhonda Edwards, a human resources manager with thirteen years of HR experience, tardiness is one of the biggest concerns for managers. “If the normal work day starts at 8 o’clock, then the expectation is that you’re in the office ready to start your day,” she explains. Her advice to the chronically late? “Plan ahead,” she urges. “If you live 50 minutes away, you don’t leave 50 minutes early. Tag on extra time an d anticipate road blocks.” Some people even set their clocks a few minutes early to ensure that they’re on time. Different bosses prefer different modes of communication. Lindsey Pollak, a workplace expert and author of Getting from College to Career, says if you text your boss and she prefers in-person meetings, “either your information won’t get across or you’ll irritate [her].” Fortunately, there’s a simple fix: ask your boss how and when to send updates. If you’re too shy to ask outright, then Pollak su ggests observing how they communicate with you. “If you have a boss who communicates once a day by email, that’s the boss’ preferred frequency and method of communication,” explains Pollak.A cluttered, messy work space can give your boss the impression that you’re lazy or disorganized, so try to keep your desk neat. “Never put more on your desk than you’re going to work on for the day,” recommends Edwards. “At the end of the day, make sure you set up for the next day. I may be working on five things at once, but at the end of the day, they’re gone, and I set up for the next day.” Most managers would rather you ask a question than make a mistake, but many questions can be answered on your own. “Is this something you could Google or ask a colleague?” wonders Pollak. “The internet is so vast that a lot of information you can get yourself.” If you must approach your boss with aquestion or issue, then Pollak recommends brainstorming beforehand. “Rather than saying ‘This client is terrible. What should I do?’ think about potential solutions,” she says.Cell phones are practically ubiquitous in the workplace these days, but it’s still disruptive and disrespectful when they go off during a meeting. Edwards says that you should, “put your cell phone on vibrate or leave it in your own office so it’s not a distraction.” That way you won’t be tempted to text either( )6.According to the article, how many pieces of advice are offered here? .A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five(B)( )7.What is this article about? .A. How to be successful in the workplace.B. How to communicate with your boss.C. How to avoid quirks that annoy your boss.D. How to utilize your mobile phones at work.( )8.What does the phrase “to get across” in the sentence “…she prefers in-person meetings, “either your information won’t get across or you’ll irritate …” of the second paragraph mean? .A. To be communicatedB. To be passedC. To be promotedD. To be anticipated(A)( )9.According to the article, which of the following modes of communication is the best when communicating with your boss? .A. Any ways you think are appropriate.B. In-person meetings.C. Correspondence.D. The way your boss communicates with you.(D)( )10.Which of the following statements is not mentioned?A. Employees should pay respect to their bosses anytime.B. Employees should plan beforehand so as to show up at work on time.C. Employees should not let their mobile phones go off during meetings.D. Employees should keep their desks neat and organized.(C)III.Business Translation: 20%(商务翻译，20分)Section ADirections: There are ten terms in this section.
