BEC商务英语（中级）口语模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. INTERVIEW 2. MINI PRESENTATIONS 3. DISCUSSIONSECTION 1 INTERVIEW (ABOUT 3 MIN)1．In this part the interlocutor asks questions to each of the candidates in turn. You have to give information about yourself and express personal opinions.正确答案：A. B: How do you do?I: How do you do? Sit down, please. A, would you give me some information about your education?A: I graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University in 1997. My major was English. By the time of the graduation, I was awarded the Bachelor of Arts.I: B, how do you think global warming can be prevented?B: Well, I’m no expert on this, but I’ve heard quite a lot of such discussion from TV and other people’s talk. I think it was mainly caused by the waste gases exhausted from chemical factories and vehicles. It’s said the ice caps of the north and south poles will be melted and the sea level will be raised. As a result, some cities will disappear.I: What’s your opinion about it, A?A: Well, there’s no easy solution. As for as I know, global warming is caused by green-house effect which results from too much carbon dioxide in the air. I think the government should take measures to limit the number of cars and make efforts to develop public transportation system. Besides, we should try to replace fossil fuel with new, cleaner energy resources.SECTION 2 MINI PRESENTATIONS (ABOUT 6 MIN)In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about 1 minute. You have 1 minute to prepare your ideas.2．In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic.You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.A. WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...? MAINTAINING CUSTOMER INTEREST IN A COMPANY’S PRODUCTS —QUALITY GOODS AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE —FEEDBACKB. WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...? CONSIDERING TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT —TIMING —COSTC. WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...? HA VING A SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW —CONFIDENCE —ABILITY正确答案：Interlocutor:—I’m going to give each of you a choice of 3 topics. I’d like you to choose one of the topics and give a short presentation on it for about a minute. You will have about a minute to prepare for this and you can make notes if you wish while you prepare. After you have finished your talk, your partner will askyou a question.—All right? Here are your topics.[Interlocutor hands each candidate a different topic card, and some paper and a pencil for notes]Interlocutor:—Choose one of the topics to talk about. You can make notes.[1 minute’s preparation time. Both candidates pre pare their talks at the same time, separately.]—All right now. Candidate Two, which topic have you chosen, A, B or C? Would you like to talk about what you think is important when maintaining customer interest?[Candidate Two talks]As is known to all, it is important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. I think a company should try every possible way to retain its current customers. First, it should always make sure that it provides its customers with quality goods and after-sales service. Second, it should lay enough emphasis on the feedback from its current customers and take prompt action to take care of their needs and demands. Third, if possible, it may provide some incentives to its old customers. All in all, a company should try its utmost to keep its current customers satisfied with its products and services, and at the same time it should stay ahead of the market.Interlocutor:—Thank you. Now, Candidate One, please ask Candidate Two your question about his/her talk.[Candidate One asks question.]Apart from all those, should a company design strategies to attract new customers and create transactions with them, to expand their customer base, so to speak?Candidate Two: A good question. Yes, we should at tract new customers as well as old customers.Interlocutor:—Thank you. All right. Now, Candidate One, which topic have you chosen, A, B or C? Would you like to talk about what you think is important when considering transport management?[Candidate One talks]Any distribution of products from producers to wholesales or from wholesalers to retailers requires transportation. The cost of transporting some products can exceed the cost of producing them. An efficient form of transportation can result in higher costs and lower profits for the firm. For each form of transportation, firms should estimate timing, cost, and availability.This assessment allows the firm to choose an optimal method of transportation. The most common forms of transportation used to distribute are truck, rail, air, water, pipeline.Interlocutor:—Thank you. Thank you. Now, Candidate Two, please ask Candidate One your question about his/her talk.[Candidate Two asks question.]In terms of timing, cost and availability, which do you thin the most important is?Candidate One: Well. That depends. For example, if something urgent must be delivered on time, you have to disregard cost and availability.Interlocutor:—Thank you[Materials are collected.]SECTION 3 DISCUSSION (ABOUT 5 MIN)In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic.

Could you advertise for two experienced translators in the newspapers? It is urgent.PART TWOQuestion 47(Sample for reference)Near the end of 1994, people suddenly become "rich'', buying a lot of things. We have received the report that the real hourly wages of workers become even less ,so they do not have enough money to buy so many things. Although the employment is rising towards the end of 1994 ,the growth is very slow. Therefore ,not many people find jobs to earn enough money to buy goods. Then where does the big consumer confidence come from? We have discovered that people overspend with various credit cards ,buying goods. And they are not worried about returning the borrowed money. This it is our turn to be concerned about this kind of consumer confidence.。

This 78-page book concentrates on presenting the key facts in summary form.BThe Handbook of Health and SafetyThis is a comprehensive guide intended for managers, union safer), representatives and anyone teaching for Occupational Health & Safety examinations.

Do not use any letter more than once.The difficulty of holding onto good, experienced staff has always been a major issue with the majority of companies. High staff turnover can result in many problems. …example…Most companies hope to recruit the right type of person in the first place. However, too much emphasis on qualifications and not enough on personality often leads to a company attracting the right standard, but not the right kind of person. 8 They can also be used to identify existing staff who are suitable but who, initially may not have been considered.It is important for companies to understand why employees move on to another employer. 9 They can be the key to identifying any problem areas that might exist within an organization. It is essential therefore that employees who are about to disappear are interviewed before they depart, in order to discover why they are leaving.Analysis of these interviews has shown that a lack of appreciation is one of the main factors causing employees to look elsewhere for work. Managers should provide regular feedback to their staff. 10 If this is not done, employeeswill think their efforts are not appreciated.Communications within the organization are another consideration. 11 This can be avoided through regular departmental and inter-departmental meetings, which are extremely valuable as a means of passing on information throughout the company and keeping employees up to date with recent developments. They also serve to provide the opportunityfor employees to express their opinions.Paying staff according to how they perform is another way of recognizing employees’ efforts. If the company be nefits froman employee’s extra effort, it is only reasonable that the employees should also receive some financial benefit. It is however important to avoid offering some member of staff the opportunity to improve their pay while excluding others. 12In cases where such difficulties might exist, a planned career progression for an individual staff member means that the person knows exactly what to expect from the job and what is required from them.A．For example, when good work has been done it must be praised. B．This can easily happen, since it is not always possible to introduce productivity measurements into every, employee's work.C．In particular, employers are recognizing that these requirements will change as time goes by.D．Selection tests can be used to indicate a candidate's suitability for the job they are applying for.E．If these are poor, employees will feel left out. F．The reasons for staff resigning and the benefits offered by their new employersmust be recorded.G．One of the most serious of these is the cost of continually having to find and train replacements.PART THREEQuestions 13-18Read the following article on recruiting and managing staff and the questions on the opposite page.For question 13-18, mark one letter (A,B,C or D) on your AnswerSheet 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 star 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 tot 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 ho, much people haveactually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.It's always worth looking m 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 1 took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could tram 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. 13．what fact does the writer to learn from applicants' CVs? A．that they have experience of many different jobsB．that their careers have developed steadily.C．the opinion their employers had of themD．whether the3' are married or single14．The writer says the application form is useful because it A．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. 15．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.16 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.17．The writer believes profit-sharing is a good idea because A．it encourages a competitive spirit.B．everyone earns the same salaryC．everyone shares the same aim.D．it creates job satisfaction.18．Which would make the best title for this text?A．Profit-sharing as motivationB．How 1 turned a business roundC．People the key to business successD．The importance of a well-presented CVPART FOURQuestions 19-33Read the letter below.Choose the correct word A,B,C or D on the opposite page to fill each gap.For each question 19-33, mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet.RICHMAN RINGInternational MoversOur ref: F/2/J 21st March 1998Dear Mr. Ratanara,Re: Removal of business equipment from Singapore to Hong KongThank you for your telephone enquiry.
