This section totals 20 points, two points for each question.Passage OneWhat a lovely place Xerox is to work Kim Moloney, a client services executive, can’t say enough nice things about her employer. ‘It’s a very special environment,’ she says. ‘People describe Xerox as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long.’ It’s tempting to take Moloney’s comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when you’ve been working somewhere for only two years, as she has at Xerox, everyone seems old and established. 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 incumb ent 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’ longevity). 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 brainstorming rooms and breakout areas.’ Much of Moloney’s role is visiting clients, so she doesn’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 uncovered 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 t he 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 and 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 suggests 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 ne at. “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 a question 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.

HERE WE GOOGLE AGAIN Google dominates the Internet-search business, such as Netscape once ruled in Web browsers and Real Networks did in media players. Begun as a research project by two graduate students in 1998, Google today carries out more than 200 million searches a day and is estimated to have had $1 billion income last year, mainly from advertising sector. It is the most visited search site, accounting for 35% of search-engine visits —compared with 28% for Yahoo, 16% for AOL and 15% for Microsoft’s MSN, according to comScore Networks, a market-research company. But that masks its tree influence. Google’s technology is used to power searches on other sites, such as Yahoo and AOL (though Yahoo plans to use its own technology soon). Taking this into account makes Google responsible for around 80% of all Internet searches. The company is now preparing for a stock market flotation in the next few months. Google’s power makes it just the sort of company that Microsoft typically tries to squash. At the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Mr. Gates admitted that Google’s search technology was “waybetter” than Microsoft’s, and identified Internet search as a key focus for his company.16．Google, Netscape amt Real Networks all play a very important role in their own field.A．RightB．WrongC．Doesn’t say正确答案：A17．Google was invented lay experts in the 1980s.A．RightB．WrongC．Doesn’t say正确答案：B18．Google’s annual income ranks number one among Internet search-engines.A．RightB．WrongC．Doesn’t say正确答案：C19．According to a market-research company, Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft’s MSN account for more than 60% of the search-engine visits.A．RightB．WrongC．Doesn’t say正确答案：B20．Google is the most visited search site and its technology is also used lo power searches on other sites.A．RightB．WrungC．Doesn’t say正确答案：A21．Google will never be replaced by other search engines.A．RightB．WrongC．Doesn’t say正确答案：C22．Bill Gates believes Google is a key part for his company to earn profits.A．RightB．WrongC．Doesn’t say正确答案：BPART FIVE? Read the following passage below about a Chairman’s Statement.? For each question (23-28), choose the correct answer.? Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer sheet. CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Despite the appearance of a new competitor on the market the company continued to grow and increase its market share throughout 2006. Partly in response to this new threat but. more importantly, as part of a strategy for growth, several key decisions were taken this year. The most significant new developments included a range of vitamin-rich children’s drinks and low calorie diet drinks, which both proved very popular. The company is still best known for its range of refreshing fruit drinks and. not surprisingly, these were our biggest sellers once more. There were two new additions to the range last year, “Joyful”and “Refresh”, both of which have a distinctive Caribbean flavour. The first sales figures suggest that our expensive TV advertising campaign was very successful and that these products will soon be as popular as the rest of the fruit drink range. Growth in the keep-fit and health markets meant our energy drinks did well in 2006. Sales of one brand, “Delight”, were second only to fruit drinks in July. The strength of this particular market also explains the success of our new diet drinks. There were, however, big differences in the performance of our older products. The company’s oldest product, mineral water, continued to enjoy a healthy share of a very profitable mass market. It seems our customers are still happy to stay with the brand despite the increasing number of competitors’products. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of our Ice-J and Chocomania drinks. Sales showed an initial increase in the summer after we re-launched both products but customers soon bought other brands and total annual sales for both product ranges were disappointing. The company also said goodbye to its own brand of cola. launched in 2004. After two unsuccessful years of trying to break into the huge cola market. 2006 looked like being another poor year. The company finally accepted that it had made a wrong decision and stopped production in October of that year.23．What was the main reason the company decided to launch its new productranges?A．It laced increased competition.B．It wanted to enter new markets.C．It initiated a policy of expansion.正确答案：C24．The new fruit drinks cost a lot of money toA．develop.B．produce.C．launch.正确答案：C25．The best selling drinks in July wereA．energy drinks.B．fruit drinks.C．diet drinks.正确答案：B26．The company’s brand of mineral water has aA．small share of a small market.B．large share of a small market.C．large share of a large market.正确答案：C27．Sales for Ice-J and ChocomaniaA．rose and then fell again.B．increased steadily.C．were disappointing all year.正确答案：A28．When did the company stop producing its own brand cola?A．2004B．2006C．2008正确答案：BPART SIX?Read the minutes below from a Health and Safety committee meeting.?Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C on the opposite page.?For each question (29-40), mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.MinutesLighting Staff are complaining about the poor lighting in the main office.

2015年商务英语BEC初级考试模拟试题Questions 1 –8Look at the sentences below and at the five managers’ comments on leadership on the opp osite pageWhich new item (A, B, C ,D or E) dose each statement 1 –8 refer to ?For each statement ! –8 , make one letter(A, B, C ,D or E) on your Answer Sheet .You will need to use some of these letters more than once .1、Successful leadership involves making sure that employees accept new ideas.2、A good leader can bring success to a company in difficulties3、Leaders should be assessed on the basis of their achievements4、The personalities of good leaders are generally different from those of other managers5、Patience is a valuable quality in a successful leader6、Leaders consider potential changes in what their company does for others7、Good leaders will encourage their staff if their organization is in difficulties8、Leaders need to adapt their behaviour to suit different circumstancesA Maurizio VernaLong-term, visionary business leaders must be prepared to invest to get what they want for t heir company. They know when and how to apply pressure and to take risks, when they need to display a more hands-off approach. I have a pretty clear view of my ideal business leader, and of course that’s where I ‘m trying to head: he or she should start up and grow a cash-rich, mul ti-interest international organization of tremendous strenngth and depth.B Sue TuckerThe pace of technological change, and the rate at which businesses are changing , requires leaders to have a particular aptitude for technology and an understanding of the internet. A lot of people are aware of the opportunities here ,but awareness alone isn’t enough: in a true leader this needs to be coupled with clever marketing, product design and technological innovation, and keeping abreast of everything going on in the company. In fact the acid test , I think , is being able to use all of these skills to turn around a failing company.C Carol GodfreyEffective leaders stand out from the herd. They’re often idiosyncratic, even eccentric.They ha ve the confidence to be themselves, and not to adopt the language and attributes of the run-of-t he-mill professional managers and accountants. What’s crucial is having the charisma or whatever it is that gives their staff confidence in them, so they can keep everyone on board when they want to make innovations. So often these don’t get off the ground because of lack of leadership, because after all, our response to change is significantly affected by how it’s introduced.D Brian MatthewsLeadership is about making things happen and being judged by results. Good ideas that go nowhere are a waste of time. Anticipate needs-those of customers for instance-and initiate action to meet those needs befor e the people concerned have even recognized they’ve got them. Th at way you’ll always be ahead of the game, whatever line you’re in. For instance, top stockb rokers will learn all about you and your business and keep themselves completely up to date wit h your field in order to advise you. If they’re really good they ‘ll recognize trends even before yo u do .E Ana CostaOutstanding leaders understand both tactics and strategy, and are prepared to play a very lo ng game to achieve their objectives. They understand that in negotiations they need the “ win-wi n” concept, because losers risk losing their dignity, which is no good for your long-term business relationship with them.

They know when and how to apply pressure and to take risks, when they need to display a more hands-off approach. I have a pretty clear view of my ideal business leader, and of course that’s where I ‘m trying to head: he or she should start up and grow a cash-rich, mul ti-interest international organization of tremendous strenngth and depth.B Sue Tucker2The pace of technological change, and the rate at which businesses are changing , requires leaders to have a particular aptitude for technology and an understanding of the internet. A lot of people are aware of the opportunities here ,but awareness alone isn’t enough: in a true leader this needs to be coupled with clever marketing, product design and technological innovation, and keeping abreast of everything going on in the company. In fact the acid test , I think , is being able to use all of these skills to turn around a failing company.C Carol GodfreyEffective leaders stand out from the herd. They’re often idiosyncratic, even eccentric.They ha ve the confidence to be themselves, and not to adopt the language and attributes of the run-of-t he-mill professional managers and accountants. What’s crucial is having the charisma or whatever it is that gives their staff confidence in them, so they can keep everyone on board when they want t o make innovations. So often these don’t get off the ground because of lack of leadership, because after all, our response to change is significantly affected by how it’s introduced.D Brian MatthewsLeadership is about making things happen and being judged by results. Good ideas that go nowhere are a waste of time. Anticipate needs-those of customers for instance-and initiate action to meet those needs before the people concerned have even recognized they’ve got them. Th at way you’ll always be ahead of the game, whatever line you’re in. For instance, top stockb rokers will learn all about you and your business and keep themselves completely up to date wit h your field in order to advise you. If they’re really good they ‘ll recognize trends even before yo u do .E Ana CostaOutstanding leaders understand both tactics and strategy, and are prepared to play a very lo ng game to achieve their objectives. They understand that in negotiations they need the “ win-wi n” concept, because losers risk losing th eir dignity, which is no good for your long-term business relationship with them. Leaders must stay optimistic, whatever the odds, and keep up morale of their company, even when the going’s tough. It’s important to be very much hands-on, too. A g ood leader will champion ideas that keep the company in the forefront.参考答案：1-5 CBDCE 6-8 EAQuestions 15 - 20Read the following extract from a book on management and the questions on the opposite p age .For each question 15–20,mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet for the an swer you chooseIn the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as rel青年人网（）提供atively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a ce ntral corporate need.Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and ups ide-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks out wards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way thing s were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more t han 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persu ade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for o ver many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life.Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: on the one hand there are the “ pragmatists” and on the other “ the highly anxious” the former see thei r job as a means to an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to t heir local term , rather than the company as a whole . the second category, usually the majority, may respond to threatened changes with a feeling of having been let down, and even feel ange r at the company for what they see as changing the terms of their employment.The employee communication process needs to be capable of accurately directing its messag es at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is why middle m anagers and line managersare so key to communication. They are the people who know about the full rage of concern s among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the respon sibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Concordia puts responsibility for communication firmly on line managers. All their research points to the same conclusion: people prefer to get their inf ormation 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 so on as you can. If you can’t provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yo urself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communicati on is that there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders.415: in the last eight years, Concordia hasA made over 80.000 employees reduncdantB completed a period of downsizingC reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy16 from Concordia’s point of view, the role of communication is toA win employee support before going ahead with the changesB change the company’s core activities.C emphasise the positive aspects of the changesD explain the need for the changes17 what does research show about most employees’ response to change?A they expect it to have a bad effect on the companyB they feel completely powerlessC they become less loyalD they fell they have been treated unfairly18 Concordia’s communication process mainly relies onA printed communicationB departmental headsC personal communicationD a separate, specialized unit19 According to the writer, what is the guiding ;principle about giving information within an or ganization?A Never make promises about future developmentsB Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stageC always include plenty of hard informationD Hold back until all the details can be provided20 which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article?A employee attitudes to company communicationB making company communication more effectiveC Researching company commmucationD Making employees feel less powerless参考答案：15 A 16-20 CDCBBQuestions 21 -30Read the article from the Chairman’s statement in a pharmaceutical company’s annual report Choose the correct word to fill each gap from (A, B, C or D) on the opposite page .For each question 21-30,mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet .青年人网（）提供There is an example at the beginning , (0)Charman’s StatementTwo year ago we undertook to increase our sales and to at least (10) our earnings.

From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need.Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life.Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: on the one hand there are the “pragmatists”and on the other “the highly anxious”the former see their job asa 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, usually the majority, may respond to threatened changes with a feeling 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 capable of 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 who know 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 on line 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 tellemployees as much as you can as soon as you can. If you can’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 hasA made over 80.000 employees reduncdantB completed a period of downsizingC reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy16 From Concordia’s point of view, the role of communication is toA win employee support before going ahead with the changesB change the company’s core activities.C emphasise the positive aspects of the changesD explain the need for the changes17 what does research show about most employees’response to change?A they expect it to have a bad effect on the companyB they feel completely powerlessC they become less loyalD they fell they have been treated unfairly18 Concordia’s communication process mainly relies onA printed communicationB departmental headsC personal communicationD a separate, specialized unit19 According to the writer, what is the guiding principle about giving information within an organization?A Never make promises about future developmentsB Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stageC always include plenty of hard informationD Hold back until all the details can be provided20 which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article?A employee attitudes to company communicationB making company communication more effectiveC Researching company commmucationD Making employees feel less powerless文章取材自一本管理手册，说的是一个组织里的有效沟通问题。
