III. READING COMPREHENSION (10 小题,每小题2 分,共20 分)Read the following two passages and answer the questions.Passage OneNowadays, more and more attention is being paid to "business ethics". But what does it mean? What is the importance of ethics in business?Business ethics is not about personality^ though a good personality is valuable. Ethics is the primary clement and prerequisite for successful business. No matter what you do, you should think of business as a matter of integrity. Nowadays, the slip in ethics and the absence of social responsibility, especially integrity, have led to a crisis in business, seriously influencing social development.Events resulting from a loss of trust arc being seen now and then and they affect the society in many unfortunate ways. Most people know the importance of business ethics, but still some people don't honor them. We often hear media reports on problems in business, such as adding harmful materials to products. These behaviors cause much damage to consumers, who spend money but do not get quality commodities, especially when these commodities do great harm to their health. It is difficult for people to forget the case in which some children consumed unsafe milk powder produced by a few immoral businesses, and their health suffered serious damage as a result. People can't bear this kind of behavior and the businesses responsible must be closed down and the related personnel be published.21.What is the primary component for a prosperous business?A.Good management.Business ethics.C. Reliable credit status.22.What is the influence of losing integrity?A.Hinder social development.B・ Worsen the company's reputation.C・ Reduce people's trust between each other.23.What is people's attitude towards business ethics?A.All people pay attention to business ethics.Be Most people attach importance to it and follow it.C. Lots of people know its importance but still some don't honor it.24.Which of the following items is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.The absence of ethics has led to a crisis in business world.B.Manufacturers' immoral behaviors do little harm to consumers.C.Media is important for people to know more about commodities.25.What is the author's attitude toward immoral behaviors in business?A- Critical.B.Affirmative.C.Indifferent.Passage TwoSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. Real listening also means not just listening to words but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well now to deal with the occasion of parting. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've know you half their life.26.If you follow the skills that good talkers have, they'll help you・A.make friends quicklyB.make friends slowlyG become a famous speaker27.Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way.A.for you to make more and more new friendsB.to begin your business talksC.to get the conversation going smoothly28.Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who.A.are good at making any topic interestingB.never talk too much or too littleC・ always speak in a gentle way29.If you really take delight in meeting someone again, .A.it seems necessary for you to let him know itB.it's proper for you to give him a second handshakeC.it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him30.What's the main idea of the passage?A.

05年BEC高级口试真题及应考提示2Samples(部分口语试题参考答案)1、Customer Relations: how to maintain customer interest in a company’s productsAs is know to all, it is very 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. For example, it can grant a certain discount to them if their purchases reach a certain amount. Apart from all these, a company should design strategies to attract new customers and create transactions with them, to expand their customer base, so to speak. These strategies include product diversification and upgrading.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 through product and pricing strategies.2、How to fill a key vacancyIn order to fill a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure.It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do. From this, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience, attributes and so on.Having produced this profile, the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile. This might be an internal advertisement or an external advertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet say, even an agency or perhaps a headhunter.Having decided on the best recruitment method, the advertisements are then placed or the headhunter contacted and a list of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through the company’s recruitment processes. This might be interviews, psychometric tests or even hand-writing analysis. This will then produce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negotiate terms with this candidate and, hopefully, this will result in terms which are both affordable for the company and attractive enough to get the candidate they want.Background Information3、Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesCareer PlanningEven after a job is offered and accepted, career decisions must be made. On-the-job experience may affect the desired path. Aspiring to achieve a position above the present position is natural. The planned career path to that position may involve either a series of promotions within the firm or switching to a different firm. While planning a career path is a useful motivator, the plans should be achievable. If everyone planned to be president of a company, most plans would not be achieved. This can cause frustration. A preferable career path would include short-term goals, since some ultimate goals may take twenty years or longer. The use of short-term goalscan reinforce confidence as goals are achieved.Career Development: the importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerIt is important a person to have a range of skills in the course of his career development. When he has a range of skills, he is obviously more competitive than those who don’t and therefore has more chances of promotion. And it will be easier for him to find a job outside his company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In addition, a person with a range of skills is more likely to work his way up to the top of the corporate ladder.4、Human Resources: how to provide effective support for new members of staffTraining: The importance of a continuous programme of staff training within a companyStaff Management: how to achieve and maintain high motivation among a workforceMotivating Employees: Employees tend to be more satisfied with their jobs if they are provided (1) compensation that is aligned with their performance, (2) job security, (3) a flexible work schedule, and (4) employee involvement programs. Firms should offer job security, compensation that is tied to employee performance, more flexible work schedules, and more employee involvement programs. To the extent that job satisfaction can motivate employees to improve their performance, firms may be able to a higher production level by providing greater job satisfaction.5、Marketing ResearchManagers cannot always wait for information to arrive in bits and pieces from the marketing intelligence system. They often require formal studies of specific situations.For example, Toshiba wants to know how many and what kinds of people or companies will buy its new superfast laptop computer. Or Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois, needs to know what percentage of its target market has heard of Barat, how they heard, what they know, and how they feel about Barat. In such situations, the marketing intelligence system will not provide the detailed information needed. Managers will need marketing research.We define marketing research as the systematic design, collection, analysis, and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific marketing situation facing an organization. Every marketer needs research. Marketing researchers engage in a wide variety of activities, ranging from market potential and market share studies, to assessments of customer satisfaction and purchase behavior, to studies of pricing, distribution, and promotion activities.A company can conduct marketing research in its own research department or have some or all of it done outside. Although most large companies have their own marketing research departments, they often use outside firms to do special research tasks or studies. A company with no research department has to buy the services of research firms.。

Presently, we are have a 33 percent off sale on computer and software. Come in, use your certificate, and take advantage for this opportunity.Ⅵ. READING COMPREHENSION (10 小题,每小题1分,共10分)Read the following two passages and answer the questions.Passage One:More than 65 percent of a company's business comes from current customers. Those customers are not easily replaced, so it is every company's job to keep its current customers satisfied even as it is trying to attract new customers. After all, some of those new customers will come because they hear about the store from current customers.In the fast-paced world of retail, customer loyalty is especially important. So manystores are selling the same products that retailers have to offer customers something more.That something more is their customer service. Discount coupons, valet parking (whereparking is a problem), and free gift wrapping are just some of the extras retailers now offer. Another important facet (方面)of customer service is handling customer complaints. Retailers should not think of complaints as a nuisance(麻烦事). They should see them as anexcellent opportunity for some free feedback, although it is true that a small percentage utcustomers do complain unjustly. But the vast majority of customers who complain are tellingretailers what they need to hear. For this reason, retailers should (1) listen carefully,(2)respond positively, (3) admit a mistake immediately, or if a mistake has not been made,explain the reason for the confusion, (4) ask customers what they would like done, and (5)comply with their requests. Good customer service is the surest way to stand out from all of he other retailers.22. Why are current customers important to retailers?A. They shop at the same place from habit.B. They provide at least two-thirds of a company's business.C. They bring their friends shopping with them.23. So many stores sell tile same products. How can one retailer stand out?A. With discount coupons.B. Through heavy advertising.C. With the quality of its customer service.24. How can retailers get free feedback?A. By increasing profits.B. By paying attention to complaints.C. By promoting holiday sales.25. Most customers who complain areA. doing it unjustlyB. just trying to get their money back.C. telling the retailer what he should know26. If a mistake has not been done, a retailer shouldA. offer a reason for the misunderstandingB. pretend it never happenedC. get an apology from the customerPassage Two:A formal written agreement, or contract, is invaluable to employers and employeesalike. Both benefit by having the terms of their association spelled out in advance. Spoken agreements are subject to misinterpretation. While written agreements do not guarantee identical interpretations, they can help provide legal protection for everyone involved. Most businesses have a standard contract; however, the terms of the contract may be negotiable. Changing a contract requires careful attention to the legal implications, and changes should always be noted in writing and initialed or signed by all parties. Original copies are generally retained by the employer.Contracts may list penalties(处罚)if the signed agreement is broken. With intellectual property, for example, many contracts stipulate(规定)that, while an employee works for a company, ideas developed by the employee belong to the company. If the employee tries to market his or her ideas independently, he or she risks a lawsuit(诉讼)and possibly a financial penalty to make up {or the company's presumed losses.Contractual disputes sometimes are settled by lawsuits, or they may be settled through arbitration(仲裁). In arbitration, a neutral third party investigates the disagreement. To avoid the expense of a lawsuit, many companies prefer arbitration. Contracts often contain clauses that speci[y how arbitration would take place. Both parties agree to accept the arbitrator's decision as binding.27. Written agreementsA. are not likely to be misinterpreted than oral onesB. assure that the employee and employer interpret everything identicallyC. provide legal protection [or both the employer and the employee28. Changes to a contractA. should be initialed or signed by the employerB. should be initialed or signed by the legal departmentC. should be initialed or signed by all parties to the agreement29. With intellectual property, companies often stipulate thatA. if a company employee develops a marketable idea, it belongs to the companyB. original ideas belong to the employee who thought them upC. no one can own an idea30. What happens if an employee markets his or her ideas independently?A. The company may sue for losses.B. The employee will be fired.C. The contract agreement must be rewritten.31. Who can be an arbitrator?A. A court-appointed attorney.B. A third party not involved in the dispute.C. A legal advisor hired by the employer.V. TRANSLATION (3 段短文,每段5分,共15分)32.Communication skills are especially important when you communicate with people of diversebackgrounds. In addition to just writing or speaking effectively, you need to add elements of sensitivity, understanding, and tolerance in your communication.33.The two most common internal documents--those written for use within an organization-- are memos and e-mai[ messages. The memo is a business document that has traditionally been the most common communication inside a company's walls. However, with the advent of Internet technology, electronically sent e-mail messages are quickly replacing the memo asthe communication of choice.34.The tone of a letter that contains a negative message should reflect a sincere concern for the receiver's interests.

Examples include environmental factors such as lighting, heat, humidity, comfort, and noise. The appearance of a written document also may be an external barrier to communication. A document can create an external barrier if it is smudged; contains errors in content, spelling, or grammar; or is resented in an inappropriate format. You may become so distracted with the appearance of the document that you fail to comprehend its contents. Another external barrier to communication with an organization is a closed or authoritarian climate. In that environment, decisions and policies often are made and implemented by command. Consequently, workers may stop offering suggestions because they believe that making suggestions is useless. Conversely, in an open climate in which ideas and information are welcomed, communication flows easily. Workers believe that supervisors and managers are receptive to ideas, which facilitates communication. Many managers in progressive organizations realize the importance of maintaining open communication. They know that being sensitive to employees’ attitudes and ideas encourages creativity and growth.(1)、Conditions outside the receiver and the sender that detract from thecommunication process are called external barriers.

Getting through university boosts students' earnings by 25%, on a weighted average, or $220,000 over their lifetime, according to Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University-but if they study Shakespeare or the peasants ‘revolt instead of anatomy of contract law, those gains are likely to be completely wiped out. The government is about to allow universities to charge students up to $3,000 a year for their degrees, arguing that it’s a small price to pay compared with the financial rewards graduates reap later in life. But Prof. Walker’s research shows there are sharp variations in returns according to which subject a student takes. Law, medicine and economics or business are the most lucrative choices, making their average earnings 25% higher, according to the article, published in the office for national statistics' monthly journal. Scientists get 10-15% extra. At the bottom of the list are arts subjects, which make only a “small ”difference to earnings- a small negative one, in fact. Just ahead are degrees in education-which leave hard pressed teachers an average of 5% better off a year than if they had left school at 18. “It’s hard to resist the conclusion that what students learn does matter a lot; and some subject areas give more modest financial returns than others,” Prof. Walker said. As an economist, he was quick to point out that students might gain non-financial returns from arts degrees:”Studying economics might be very dull, for example, and studying post-modernism might be a lot of fun.”(1)、One of the bitterest and most time-worm debates in student union bars up and down the country is resolved as academic research confirms that in financial terms at least, arts degrees are a complete waste of time.

An example of a formal report is a company’s annual report to stockholders or a report to a government agency. Another example is an external proposal—a report that analyzes a problem and recommends a solution to people outside the writer’s company. Informal reports are shorter than formal reports and are written in a less formal style. Unlike formal reports, informal reports generally have no preliminary or supplementary parts because they usually are concerned with everyday matters that require little background. A sales report is an example of an informal report. In a sales report, the writer summarizes sales for a specific period.

READING COMPREHENSION (10小题,每小题2分,共20分)Read the following two passages and answer the questions.Passage One:Complete messages contain a variety of sentence types. You will hold your readers’ attention if you vary the length and structure of your sentence s as well as the structure of your paragraphs.It is best to keep sentences at 20 words or less. At the same time, it adds interest to have some noticeably short sentences—perhaps 10 words or even fewer. Using sentences of different lengths keeps your writing from feeling choppy or monotonous. As you vary sentence length, your sentence structure naturally varies as well. Alternate simple sentences with compound and complex sentences.Varying paragraph length also keeps your writing from being choppy. We’ve already said that the opening and closing paragraphs of a message should be relatively short. When writing your middle paragraphs plan them so that they average about six or eight lines long. Mix in a short, two- or three- line paragraph sometimes to add interest. A short paragraph also is a way to emphasize an important point.21.It is advisable to keep the average length of a sentence at ______.a.more than 20 words.b.not more than 20 words.c.10 words or fewer.22.The word choppy in the passage means ______.a.short irregular wavesb.cut into piecesc.short, broken and slightly rough.23.According to the last paragraph, ______.a.the length of all paragraphs should be the sameb.the middle paragraphs should be shorter than the beginning and endingonesc.the middle paragraphs should be longer than the beginning and endingones24.When you write sentences of different lengths, ______.a.the structure of the sentences will also be differentb.they will have the same structurec.your variation will have no effect on the sentence structure25.In the following statements, which is true about a short paragraph?a.It is less important than a long paragraph.b.It can be used to express emphasis.c.You have to put a short paragraph after several short paragraphs.Passage Two:Although language is an important part of communication, communication is not simply a matter of understanding and speaking a language. It involves transmitting an idea and understanding someone else’s idea. People from different cultures think differently about various issues than do North Americans. The ability of a NorthAmerican to speak in three different languages still may not enable him or her to understand the issues from the viewpoint of those from another culture.Cross-cultural communication differs from the more familiar within-culture communication situations in that there are systemic differences in the assumptions made by people of different cultures. Being aware of and understanding these different assumptions can help improve communication and relationships.The major problems of intercultural communication occur in perception and in attribution of meaning. Communication is defined as a “dynamic process w hereby human behavior, both verbal and nonverbal, is perceived and responded to.” People respond according to their perceptions, not necessarily according to what the transmitter believes he or she is communicating. This is an interactive process.26. People from different cultures think differently about various issues than do North Americans. This sentence means ______.a.Other people have deeper understanding than the North Americans.b.Other people understand more issues than the North Americans.c.Other people may understand things in a way different from that of the NorthAmericans.27. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?a.By speaking three languages, people do not naturally share the viewpoint ofother people.b.By speaking three languages, people naturally share the viewpoint of otherpeople.c.All Americans speak three different languages.28. Which of the following statement is true?a.Cross-cultural communication only occurs when you work in another country.b.Within-culture communication never occurs when you travel to anothercountry.c.Cross-cultural communication is more complex than within-culturecommunication.29. In communication, people respond according to ______.a.the intention of the message senderb.their own understanding of the messagec.the literal meaning of the message30.According to the last paragraph, ______.a.perception and response are equally importantb.perception is more important than responsec.perception is less important than responseIV. TRANSLATION(4段短文,每段5分,共20分)Translate the following passages into Chinese:31.A report is a document that provides the facts about a specific situation or problem for consideration by a specific group of people. Reports are business tools that enable managers to make decisions or solve problems. Reports can be classified according to their style, purpose, and format.32.A letter containing a negative message conveys news that will disappoint the receiver.

商务英语试题及答案一、阅读理解Passage 1Most cross-cultural business negotiations involve executives from different countries discussing business in English, even when it is not their mother tongue. The potential for misunderstanding and confusion is high. English as a second language is one thing; business as a second culture is quite another. Negotiating internationally calls for a special skill set and flexibility.Being fluent in a language is not sufficient to be an effective international negotiator. It is important to understand the business etiquette, cultural norms, and communication styles of the other party. In some cultures, direct eye contact is considered respectful, while in others it may be interpreted as aggressive or invasive. Similarly, gestures or body language that are considered positive in one culture may have negative connotations in another. Without a deep understanding of these cultural nuances, negotiations can easily break down.In addition to cultural awareness, successful negotiations require careful preparation. Thorough research on the other party's background, business practices, and negotiation style can give a negotiator a competitive edge. It is also crucial to understand the goals, interests, and priorities of both sides before entering into any negotiation. This allows for the development of mutually beneficial solutions that can strengthen business relationships and lead to successful outcomes.Overall, effective cross-cultural business negotiations require language proficiency, cultural sensitivity, and strategic preparation. By developing these competencies, executives can navigate the complexities of international business and achieve positive results.1. According to the passage, why is being fluent in a language alone not enough for successful international negotiations?A. Cultural norms and communication styles vary between countries.B. Business executives need to speak their mother tongue during negotiations.C. Language barriers can impede effective communication.D. Negotiations should be conducted in the negotiator's first language.2. What is a crucial aspect of cross-cultural negotiations?A. Being assertive and direct.B. Researching the other party's background.C. Avoiding eye contact to prevent misunderstandings.D. Communicating using gestures and body language.3. Which of the following is emphasized as a key factor for achieving successful outcomes in negotiations?A. Fluency in multiple languages.B. Competitive advantage through negotiation tactics.C. Understanding the goals and priorities of both sides.D. Developing a strong business network.Passage 2Dear Customer,Thank you for choosing our company for your office supply needs.

READING COMPREHENSION(10小题,每小题2分,共20分)Read the following two passages and answer the questions.Passage One:In the past, the work day was from 9 to 5 and the work week went fro m Monday through Friday. Rush hour, both morning and evening, was a night mare as roads became jammed with commuters going to and from the office. While rush hour seems to be here to stay, the traditional work day and work week are gradually becoming a thing of the past.Companies today are facing issues such as office overcrowding and empl oyees' desires, which compel management to be creative in how and where w ork gets done.
