BEC商务英语高级阅读模拟题及答案

BEC商务英语（高级）阅读模拟试卷102(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREE 4. PART FOUR 5. PART FIVE 6. PART SIXPART ONELook at the statements below and at the five extracts from an article about characteristics and traits of effective leaders.Which article(A, B, C. D or E)does each statement 1—8 refer to?For each statement 1—8, mark one letter(A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet.You will need to use some of these letters more than once.There is an example at the beginning, (0).AEffective leaders are noted for the effort they invest in achieving work goals and the passion they have for work and work associates. Drive refers to such behaviors as ambitions, energy, tenacity, and initiative. Drive also includes achievement motivation - finding joy in accomplishment for its own sake. High achievers find satisfaction in competing challenging tasks, attaining high standards, and developing better ways of doing things. Effective leaders are also passionate about their work. Ken Greene, a highly successful franchise operator of Bruegger Bagel Bakery stores, noted, “We love the business and have been very successful.” In contrast, Quality Dining, another major Bruegger franchiser, decided to get out of the business, said Greene, because “they had a very difficult time getting their arms around the emotions and passion of the business.”BPower motivation is a strong desire to control others or get them to do things on your behalf. A leader with a strong power needs enjoy exercising power and using influence tactics. Only a manager who uses power constructively could be promoted rapidly in a modern, well-managed corporation. Bill Gates of Microsoft exemplifies a power-obsessed leader. Although he’s already the richest person in the world and his company dominates its field, he attempts aggressively to either take business away from small competitors or buy them out. His obsession with market domination has contributed to his company’s facing charges of unfair ontinuing waves of downsizings, coupled with generous compensation boosts to executives, have eroded employee trust and commitment in many organizations. Effective leaders know they must build strong employee trust to attain high productivity and commitment. A panel of academics and other experts identified trust as one of the essential attributes of leadership for present and future. Leaders must be trustworthy, and they must also trust group members. A major strategy for being perceived as trustworthy is to make your behavior consistent with your intentions. Practice what you preach and set the example. Let others know of your intentions and invite feedback on how well you are achieving them.DAn inescapable conclusion is that effective leaders are good problem solvers and knowledgeable about the business or technology for which they are responsible. A leadership theory based on the problem-solving ability of leaders notes that intelligent and competent leaders make more effective plans, decisions, and action strategies than do leaders with less intelligence and competence. Similarly, anexplanation of leadership developed by author Dale Zand indicates that the leader’s skills of obtaining, using, and sharing useful knowledge are crucial to success in the Information Age.EThe effective use of humor is now regarded as an important part of a leader’s job. In the workplace, humor relieves tension and boredom and defuses hostility. Because humor helps a leader dissolve tension and defuse conflict, it can help him or her exert power over the group. Claudia Kennedy is a three-star Army general and the Army’s senior intelligence official, thereby occupying a key leadership position. During an interview for a magazine article, she mentioned that although she had no regrets, her demanding career had not allowed for having a husband and children. The reporter commented, “You could still get married.”Kennedy retorted, “Well certainly - put my phone number in this article.”1．Leadership is undermined without a leader being trusted.正确答案：C2．Having strong ambition and enthusiasm in their work and colleagues is an common characteristic of effective leaders.正确答案：A3．One of the important characteristics of effective leaders is that they take effort in their working goals and have a strong passion about their work.正确答案：A4．One key trait included here is that they should be good at solving problems and skilled in their own fields.正确答案：D5．Successful leaders have a strong need to control other people and resources.正确答案：B6．Being trusted is one of the minimum expectations for demanding leadership positions.正确答案：C7．Being humors is another important trait of an effective leader.正确答案：E8．Most effective leaders are alike in one essential way: they have good problem-solving ability and technical skills.正确答案：DPART TWORead this text taken from an article about Marketing Communications.Choose the best sentence 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).Many management writers have discussed the idea of satisfying customers’needs and wants.(0)______H Despite the vast amount of information available on customers, finding out exactly what they require is a challenge that certain companies, such as Sainsbury’s and Marks and Spencer, have found extraordinarily difficult to meet.(9)______. In a report written by the research company Business Intelligence, 50% of companies felt that their marketing communications were ineffective and 85% said that any attempt to gain customer loyalty failed. The two extremes of marketing can be summarized by looking at the difference between the East and the West.(10)______. Biros’, socks, Light bulbs—if it can be made and distributed then there is a market. In the prosperous West, it is the other extreme. Such is the attraction of profit that the marketing specialists are competing with some incredibly sophisticated advertising for some rather simple products!(11) ______. The Internet is also adding another dimension to the marketing process as is the growing resistance to subtle, clever advertising, which seems to have lost its edge in the marketplace.Out of this turmoil there has evolved another definition of marketing known as customer relationship marketing(CRM). Customers are much less loyal than they used to be and can afford to chop and change.(12)______Microsoft did this by reorganizing the business around the customer, splitting itself into four new divisions which focus on the customer.(13)______. The call centers are likely to form the basis of the future of marketing, although there is little evidence that they will work.(14)______A The choice is seemingly endless, with a typical superstore stocking between 20, 000 and 25, 000 different lines totaling between two and four million products per store.B In the spring of 1999, both companies announced heavy falls in profit largely due to their inability to listen to and respond to the customer.C Consumers also dislike the synthesized voice which asks you to press certain numbers on the keypad, depending on the service required.D Although there will always be a place and function for marketing, it is unclear whether the traditional product or brand manager will still have a job in the twenty-first century, having been replaced by customer relations managers on the end of a telephone.E In Russia, if there is a queue, you are advised to join as it means a manufacturer has actually produced something, regardless of whether there is a specific need.F Some companies now have customer call centers which are set up with the sole objective of handling complaint, inquiries and aftersales service.G It is estimated that winning over a new customer can cost up to five times as much as keeping a customer, so a new definition of marketing has evolved which is identifying, attracting and retaining the most valuable customers to sustain profitable growth. H Although the two are different, companies spend billions of pounds on market research with a view to targeting the potential customer in a more precise way.9．正确答案：B10．正确答案：E11．正确答案：A12．正确答案：G13．正确答案：F14．正确答案：DPART THREERead the following extract from an article about human resource, and the questions followed.For each question 15—20. mark one letter(A, B, C, or D)on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.Human resource is one of the key factors in determining organizational coping and profitability. Despite adverse market conditions and fluctuations, many organizations have implemented changes that seek to improve their competitiveness. The consequences of organizational change, however, can vary. Sometimes, the employees may accept the change readily; at other times, the change is met with resistance and dissatisfaction of the employees.Change and stress are closely related. Because of the feelings of uncertainty, insecurity, and threat that it invokes, organizational change can be extremely stressful for theindividual. When change occurs, employees may be stressed by role overload, role ambiguity, and role boundary.According to Selye, a little stress is actually good. When stress is at its optimal level, it can increase human resource potential as it spurs individuals to achieve their best working performances.However stress can become negative and destructive when its optimal level is exceeded. This could result in individuals experiencing high levels of anxiety or depression, low job motivation, somatic problems such as headaches, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping and ill health. In an organization that has many of its employees overly stressed or burned out, there are many detrimental consequences such as higher absenteeism, lower productivity, lower job satisfaction, and low morale.There is a variation in the manner individuals respond to organizational change. Individuals may undergo a similar change process in the organization, but the stress evoked by the change can be perceived very differently. Some individuals may see change as a threat, feeling distressed and fearful of the uncertain consequences of the change. Others may react to the change with outbursts of anger and complaints. Yet there are also those who welcome change with a positive outlook, seeing change as a challenge, an opportunity for growth and improvement.What accounts for the differences in experiencing change and perceiving stress for these individuals? Many studies suggest organizational characteristics, such as workplace climate, empowerment, and information about change, as factors that affect an individual’s adjustment to organizational change and stress. However, the research is often focusing on organization-level phenomena, as opposed to focusing on individual factors.Every person has a distinct set of personality characteristics, owns different resources, and employs different coping strategies to deal with change. This explains why coping with organizational change and stress can turn out to be very different experiences for individuals. For instance, recent micro-level research on individuals has identified dispositional traits that predict a person’s ability to cope with change. Hence, on top of looking at organizational factors, this study also examines individual factors that may help to maximize an individual’s potential to work productively and efficiently in the midst of change.15．According to the first paragraph, what is the most possible and proper statement about the reason why change and stress are closely related?A．Change can be the motivation of stress and through their mutual interaction, there will be improvement.B．Stress causes change to occur, and may bring negative effects such as the change of the job and the reduction of the salary.C．Organizational change is a primary cause of stress and when change occurs, employees often experience role stress.D．Change and stress are a pair of phenomena that will both appear in the process of employment.正确答案：C16．Why, according to Selye, is a little stress good to employees to some extent?A．As it mobilizes an individual to achieve peak performances in activities and tasks.B．As, if without stress, nothing can be achieved successfully and fully.C．As stress is an important way to prevent inaction and languor during the working process.D．As stress is the ligament between the employees and the organizations and helps the organizations to identify qualified employees.正确答案：A17．According to the third paragraph, what should the organization do about the impact of the stress?A．The organization should take some measures to prevent stress and provide more freedom for the employees.B．It is in the organization’s best interest to reduce the amount of distress coming from the organizational change, so as to enhance its human resource potential.C．The organization should disregard the impact, otherwise, the interest and efficiency could be affected.D．The organization should know what causes the stress and eliminates the origins of the stress.正确答案：B18．What does the writer imply in the fourth paragraph?A．Organizations can increase communication and disseminate adequate information about the change to employees.B．Organizations can help employees through training and educating them on how to cope with stress.C．Organizations can create a supportive environment at the workplace and it is vital that both superiors and colleagues play a part.D．That would be beneficial for the company if the employees are in a good state of psychological and emotional well-being, instead of being overly stressed or burned out.正确答案：D19．From the last paragraph, in summary, what is the element that also causes difference in the way people experience change?A．The difference in the gender, age, nationality and personality.B．Dispositional traits that predict a person’s ability to cope with change.C．It is maximizing an individual’s potential to work productively and efficiently in the midst of change.D．Difference in the way people perceive stress is also due to the uniqueness of individuals.正确答案：D20．What is the theme of this article?A．Maximizing human resource potential would mean that employees are in their top form performing for the organization.B．The organizational change can affect human resource potential.C．Organizations can increase communication and disseminate adequate information about the change to employees.D．Organizations can empower their employees to play a more active role in the implementation of change.正确答案：BPART FOURRead the article below about the employee turnover in a company—employees’three different kinds of ways of moving in their company.Choose the correct word or phrase to fill each gap from A, B, C, or D.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).

高级商务英语BEC阅读模拟题Read the article below about the changing role of human resources departments.The best person for the jobEmployees can make a business succeed or fail, so the people who choose themhave a vital role to play.Employees are a company's new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people is therefore a significant factor in a company's success.(0) G If the human resources department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear overnight. Many companies now realise that recruiting the best recruiters is the key to success.Sarah Choi, Head of HR at Enco pic, believes that thinking commercially is a key quality in HR. Every decision an HR manager makes needs to be relevant to advancing the business.(8) ...C.....That's no longer the case. HR managers have to think more strategically these days. They continually need to think about the impact of their decisions on the bottom line. (9).....F... For example,a chief executive will expect the HR department to advise on everything from the headcount to whether to proceed with an acquisition.Why do people go into HR in the first place? Choi has a ready answer. I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal.(10)....D......Nothing happens in the company which isn't affected by or doesn't impact on its employees, so the HR department is a crucial part of any business.Not all operational managers agree. An informal survey of attitudes to HR departments that was carried out last year by a leading business journal received comments such as "What do they actually contribute?"(11).....A..... As Choi points out, salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR managers often receive substantial annual bonuses.Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel undervalued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs.(12)...E......However, a lack of training and development is a more significant factor. These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an attractive package,Choi explains.A But rising levels of remuneration demonstrate that the profession's growing importance is widely recognised.B At one time, a professional qualification was required in order to progress to the top of HR.C Other departments and senior executives used to see HR managers as having a purely administrative role.D Since it's one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential role on the board.E Being seen as someone who just ticks off other people's leave and sick days does not help build a sense of loyalty.F They therefore need to be competent in many aspects of a company's operations.G On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff can lead to disaster.高级商务英语BEC阅读模拟题答案这篇文章的标题有些misleading，“The best people for the job”，还以为是招人的标准。

PART SIXPART ONELook at the statements below and at the definitions of five frequently-talked terms in most recent years, which have reflected the current global concerns.Which definition(A, B, Cj, D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to?For each statement(1-8), mark one letter(A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet.You will need to use some of these letters more than once.There is an example at the beginning(0).Example:0 This company has sold off some of its brands.AGlobalisation is an umbrella term for a complex series of economic, social, technological, cultural and political changes seen as increasing interdependence, integration and interaction between people and companies in disparate locations. As a term, “globalisation” has been used as early as 1944 but economists began applying it around 1982. Theodore Levitt is usually credited with its coining through the article he wrote in 1983 for the Harvard Business Review entitled “Globalisation of Markets”. The more encompassing phenomenon has been perceived in the context of sociological study on a worldwide scale.BInflation risk is whether a rate of return or an investment keeps up with the rate of inflation. For example, if there is 4 percent inflation over the year, you must have 4 percent more money at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year to buy the same amount of goods and services. That means your stock need to go up in value more than 4 percent to earn a return on your investment. Stocks have generally done very well in this category.CA Low-Carbon Economy(LCE)is an economy which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion that there is such an accumulation of GHGs(especially CO2)in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic causes, that the climate is changing. The over-concentrations of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. Gobally implemented LCE’s therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy.DA web search engine, which is commonly named as “a search engine”, is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list of results and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.ECultural tourism(also called culture tourism or cultural heritage tourism)is the subset of tourism concerned with a country or region’s culture,specifically the lifestyle of the people in those geographical areas, the history of those peoples, their art, architecture, religion, and other elements that help shape their way of life. Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities(i.e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle.1．This term is sometimes used to describe the pursuit of free market policies in the world economy.正确答案：A2．This term reflects a stock’s sensibility to unexpected changes in the inflation rate.正确答案：B3．This term is also referred to as Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy which is proposed to cope with climate change.正确答案：C4．This term was first used in economic field 38 years later than it had been first presented.正确答案：A5．This term refers to a tool used for searching on the Internet.正确答案：D6．This term has been presented to describe a popular form of entertainment for the global public.正确答案：E7．This term has been presented with the purpose of protecting the global environment.正确答案：C8．This term has been used in a limited sphere, and people who don’t use or have never used the Internet don’t benefit from it.正确答案：DPART TWORead this text about effective banking supervision. 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). Effective Banking Supervision Effective supervision of banking organisations is an essential component of a strong economic environment in that the banking system plays a central role in making payments and mobilising and distributing savings. The task of supervision is to ensure that banks operate in a safe and sound manner and that they hold capital and reserves sufficient to support the risks that arise in their business. Strong and effective banking supervision provides a public good that may not be fully provided in the marketplace and, along with effective macro-economic policy, is critical to financial stability in any country.(0).G.... Banking supervision should foster an efficient and competitive banking system that is responsive to the public’s need for good-quality financial services at a reasonable cost. Generally, it should be recognised that there is a trade-off between the level of protection that supervision provides and the cost of financial intermediation.【P1】______ Supervision cannot, and should not, provide an assurance that banks will not fail. In a market economy, failures are a part of risk-taking. 【P2】______Such matters cannot therefore always be entirely the responsibility of banking supervisors; however, supervisors should have in place adequate arrangements for resolving problem bank situations. 1. Providing sound and sustainable macro-economic policies are not within the competence of banking supervisors. Supervisors, however, will need to react if they perceive that existing policies are undermining the safety and soundness of the banking system.【P3】______ Therefore, sound macro-economic policies must be the foundation of a stable financial system. 2. A well-developed public infrastructure needs to cover the following facilities, which, if not adequately provided, can significantly contribute to the destabilization of financial systems: A system of business laws including corporate, bankruptcy, contract, consumer protection and private property laws; Comprehensive and well-defined accounting principles and rules that command wide international acceptance; A system of independent audits for companies of significant size. 3. Effective market discipline depends on an adequate flow of information to market participants, appropriate financial incentives to reward well-managed institutions and arrangements that ensure that investors are not insulated from the consequences of their decisions.【P4】______ 4. Sufficiently flexible powers are necessary in order to effect an efficient resolution of problems in banks.【P5】______Where they are not, the prompt and orderly exit of institutions that are no longer able to meet supervisory requirements is a necessary part of an efficient financial system. Forbearance, whether or not the result of political pressure, normally leads to worsening problems and higher resolution costs. 5. Deciding on the appropriate level of systemicprotection is by and large a policy question to be taken by the relevant authorities, particularly where it may result in a commitment of public funds.【P6】______In order to preserve the operational independence of supervisors, it is important to draw a clear distinction between this systemic protection role and day-to-day supervision of solvent institutions.Example:A In the absence of sound macro-economic policies, banking supervisors will be faced with a virtually impossible task.B The way in which failures are handled, and their costs borne, is in large part a political matter involving decisions on whether, and the extent to which, public funds should be committed to supporting the banking system.C Where problems are remediable, supervisors will normally seek to identify and implement solutions that fully address their concerns.D Supervisors will also normally have a role to play because of their in-depth knowledge of the institutions involved.E The lower the tolerance of risk to banks and the financial system, the more intrusive and costly supervision is likely to be, eventually having an adverse effect on innovation and resource allocation.F Off-site monitoring can often identify potential problems, particularly in the interval between on-site inspections.G While thecost of banking supervision is indeed high, the cost of poor supervision has proved to be even higher.H Among the issues to be addressed are corporate governance and ensuring that accurate, meaningful, transparent and timely information is provided by borrowers to investors and creditors.9．【P1】正确答案：E解析：前文指出：对银行业进行有效的监管是强健的经济环境的主要组成部分，因为银行体系在支付、调动及分配储蓄方面发挥着重要的作用。

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 in37 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 founding fathers 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 trendsin 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 t ext 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 exam ple 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 managerof Champneys, says that modern corporate life being what it is, most business 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 an swers 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 hundredsof 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 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 thekey 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.

BEC商务英语（高级）阅读模拟试卷127(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREE 4. PART FOUR 5. PART FIVE 6. PART SIXPART ONELook at the statements below and the five extracts from newspaper articles about Chinese CPI figures in five months on the opposile page. Which extract(A, B, C, D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to? For each statement(1-8), mark one letter(A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet. You will need to use some of these letters more than once. There is an example at the beginning(0).Example:0 In the last two months, CR growth rate dropped.AThe CPI surged 8. 7 percent in February year on year, the highest rise for this key inflation figure in over a decade. The February figure was 1.6 percentage points higher than that of January. Normally, a 3-percent growth of CPI is regarded as inflation. The CPI growth rate cast a shadow over the Chinese economy and put the government in a tight spot. The government could continue to take monetary measures such as interest rate hikes, but it would be against the international trend of interest rate cuts since the global economy has been on the recession track due to the U. S. subprime mortgage crisis. Further rate hikes would draw in speculative currency, which might lead to problems such as liquidity.BThe consumer price index(CPI), the barometer for inflation, grew 7.7 percent in May year on year, 0.8 percentage points lower than that in April, according to the National Bureau of Statistics(NBS). It came as no surprise for financial institutions that the CPI dropped in May month on month, as food price, a major trigger for this round of inflation, dropped considerably thanks to an abundant summer supply. There is no quick fix yet to cure inflation. But Song Guoqing, economics professor of Peking University, stated the most efficient and simple way to control inflation is to control money supply. He called on the central bank to strictly reinforce stringent monetary policy to resolve inflation pressure.CThe consumer price index(CPI), the barometer for inflation at the retail level, grew 6. 3 percent in July year on year. The year-on-year growth rate slowed compared with the CPI’s 7.1-percent growth rate in June. But month-on-month growth accelerated 0. 1 percentage point from June to July. Inflation pressure also gained momentum after dropping in May and June. Food prices, which account for one third of the CPI basket and are considered as a major trigger of this round of inflation, rose 14.4 percent in July.D”Combating inflation” ceased to be the government’s priority as the consumer price index(CPI)growth rate continued to drop. Instead, the government has switched the focus of the country’s macro-control policies to “maintain growth”against the backdrop of the global economic downturn. In September, the CPI grew 4.6 percent year on year, but fell 0.3 percentage points compared with that of August. The CPI growth rate dropped for five consecutive months, demonstrating that government efforts to cap runaway inflation were paying off. Economists expect inflationarypressure to continue to ease in the fourth quarter.EThe consumer price index(CPI), the barometer of inflation, was down 0.3 percent in October compared with that of September. The National Bureau of Statistics(NBS)said the CPI’s year-on-year growth in October was 4 percent, the lowest growth rate in 17 months. The government has made “reining in inflation”its top economic priority since the middle of last year, when citizens were hit with soaring costs of living. Afterwards, six rounds of interest rate hikes and other measures to cool the economy paid off as economic growth slowed amid the global financial turmoil.1．CPI growth rate in this month is the lowest in seventeen months.正确答案：E2．CPI growth rate in this month puts the Chinese government in a dilemma.正确答案：A3．By this month, CPI growth rate has drooped for five months.正确答案：D4．CPI growth rate drops 0.8 percent on the basis of the previous month.正确答案：B5．Monetary policies such as continuous interest rate increase have been put into practice.正确答案：E6．Lots of countries in the world have cut interest rate because of the global economic recession.正确答案：A7．Stringent monetary policy was suggested to carry out to respond to inflation pressure.正确答案：B8．Chinese government’s priority has been changed to respond to inflation pressure.正确答案：DPART TWORead this text about an brief introduction of advertising. 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). Advertising The primary function of advertising is to communicate marketing objectives to selected target audience. It is used to accomplish a number of tasks, using different media vehicles, reaching diverse audience, and gaining interest with a number of creative approaches. However, despite the seemingly endless channels for utilizing advertising, it is basically a marketing communication tool. When we examine unsuccessful advertising campaigns, we often find that advertising was used to accomplish inappropriate tasks. Successful advertising must be oriented to specific objective.(0).G... Effective advertising is an extension of basic marketing plans and is derived from it. However, advertising goals are not the same as marketing goals. The marketing staff sets the marketing goals or objectives.【P1】______ It also determines how these resources will be distributed to specific target markets and what sales objective can be expected over time and geography. Advertising goals are communication objectives designed to reach the target audience with the appropriate message. Ad. goals are based on marketing objectives, but they are not the same as marketing goals. Note that advertising goals are based on improving communication and consumer attitudes toward a product.【P2】______Obviously, even sophisticated corporations of ten confuse marketing and advertising goals. Advertising is the communication arm of the marketing process.【P3】______ Advertising has many roles. It is designed to dispose a person to buy a product, to change minds, or even to advocate less consuming(“demarketing”).【P4】______ Most advertising, however, is for the marketing of goods and services. Advertising is also the everyday culture of virtually every American. It is estimated that the average person sees or hears as many as 1,200 ads and commercials each day.【P5】______ It mirrors this environment and also brings about subtle changes in the behaviour of the publics that uses it. It is no wonder that advertising is one of the. most scrutinized of all business enterprises. 【P6】______ Advertisers are viewed in many ways by the public they serve. Manufacturers are asking for more tangible evidence of advertising’s role in the selling process, and the media are constantly seeking higher advertising rates to cover spiritual expenses. At the same time, the audiences that advertisers seek are becoming even more fragmented. Consumers, despite seemingly fascinated with advertising’s creative process, tend to become more cynical and disbelieving about its claims.Example:A It is a method of delivering a message from a sponsor, through a formal communication channel, to a desired audience.B It may be used to help elect a candidate, raise money for charity, or support a cause.C The marketing department decides how to allocate resources to various tasks, including advertising.D Advertising is part of the social, cultural, and business environment.E Today,advertising is functioning in a changing economic and social climate.F It is interesting to note that a survey indicated that a majority of companies wanted to measure advertising success based on sales.G Before we can determine advertising objectives, it is advisable to distinguish between marketing and advertising goals.H We’re now living in an advertising age.9．【P1】正确答案：C解析：该段第二句说明，“然而，广告目的不同于营销目的。

Which extract(A, B, C, D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to?For each statement(1-6), mark one letter(A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet.You will need to use some of these letters more than once.There is an example at the beginning(0).Example:0 Mining is the major industry of the area.AJharkhand, a state that traditionally has focused on agriculture, is attracting big international investors as the costs of land and labour rise in coastal regions. In 2007 alone, 187 new foreign enterprises had established presences in the state. Jharkhand’s main draw—low wages and cheap land—will continue to provide incentives for Foreign Direct Investment in the years to come. The state capital Ranchi, a six-hour bus ride from Kolkata, accounts for about 30 percent of the total investment in the state.BVietnam will continue to invest heavily in its agricultural future. Rice is the major product of the country, and Vietnam’s ever-growing food demands will see that crop yields will need to be consistently high. Hi-tech research is required, and government policies will ensure that more R&D investment is put in the country. Hi-tech industries also are setting up in a number of development zones, many of which were opened around 2003 and are growing rapidly thanks to favourable incentives.CThe future of Hubei is largely dependant on the success of the Three Gorges Dam project. As a result, there have been many upgrades of Hubei’s river ports, and there is likely to be many more as larger volumes of cargo are transported up and down the river. Wuhan intends to turn itself into the major manufacturing hub of central China. With the flow of river traffic from the Three Gorges and government incentives to move manufacturing inland, Wuhan is more likely to succeed in this aim, with further enterprises linked to exports and distributors likely to find a base in the city.DPhilippines plans to invest more than $200 billion in infrastructure development in 2007. A large portion of Philippines’ industrial output is related to its rich mineral deposits, with the smelting and pressing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals accounting for 19.6 percent of the total industrial output. Related manufacturing industries have been relocating to Philippines in recent years from Singapore and Malaysia. In the future, manufacture will continue to be a major industry in Philippines.EManitoba is rich in natural resources and is a major source of timber products in Canada. It boasts rich deposits of copper, silver and uranium. There is a great need to further increase infrastructure, especially roads and rails. The province’s located at the crossroads of the nation’s two largest economic engines. Tourism is one of the major hopes here as the far west of the province is becoming more popular and accessible for those traveling to the lakeroutes.1．The capital of this province tries to become a main manufacturing centre in the country.正确答案：C2．The country has carried out lots of favourable policies for hi-tech industries developing here.正确答案：B3．The advantage ofthe geographical location provides the area with the opportunity for economic development.正确答案：E4．In the year of 2007, about two hundred foreign corporations settled down in the state.正确答案：A5．Agriculture plays a critical role in this country, and the government will invest a lot in agriculture.正确答案：B6．Rich mineral deposits in this country have relocated manufacturing industry of Southeast Asia.正确答案：D7．This area deposits rich natural resources, and is getting a tourist attraction.正确答案：E8．Low labour and land costs are attracting foreign investors to the area.正确答案：APART TWORead this text about barriers to international business. Choose the bestsentence 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).Barriers to International Business Firms desiring to enter international business face several obstacles, some much more severe than others.(0).G... A nation’s culture and social forces can restrict international business activities. Culture consists of a country’s general ideas and values and tangible items such as food, clothing, and buildings. Social forces include family, education, religion, and customs.【P1】______ Some countries also have different values about spending than do Americans. The Japanese have long been a nation that believes in paying cash for the products they buy, although the use of credit cards has soared in Japan over the last few years. The Japanese still save nearly 20 percent of individual income, compared to about 4 percent saved by people in the United States. 【P2】______In some countries, purchasing items as basic as food and clothing can be influenced by religion. And some societies simply do not value material possessions to the same degree that Americans do. Most firms know the importance of understanding the cultural and social differences between selling and buying countries.【P3】______ For instance, a business deal in Japan can fall through if a foreign businessman refuses a cup of green tea during a visit to a native Japanese firm. The political climate of a country can have a major impact on international business. Nations experiencing intense political unrest may change their attitude toward foreign firms at any time; this instability creates an unfavourable atmosphere for international trade. Tariffs and trade restrictions are also barriers to international business. A nation can restrict trade through import tariffs, quotas and embargoes, and exchange controls. Import tariffs: a duty, or tax, levied against goods brought into a country is an import tariff.【P4】______The risk in importing tariff is that the other country could take the same action. Quotas and embargoes: a quota is a limit on the amount of a product that can leave or enter a country. Some quotas are established on a voluntary basis.【P5】______For instance, Japanese automobile manufacturers have voluntarily reduced the number of cars shipped from the United States to five automakers here the time they need to modernise their factories. An embargo is a total ban on certain imports and exports. Many embargoes are politically caused. Exchange controls: restrictions on the amount of a certain currency that can be bought or sold are called exchange controls.【P6】______Example:A Tariff can be used to discourage foreign competitors from entering a domestic market.B A government can use exchange controls to limit the amount of products that importers can purchase with a particular currency.C The voluntary quota reduced the quantity of products for exportation.D Selling products from one country to another is sometimes difficult when the cultures of the two countries differ significantly.E Generally, a voluntary quota fosters goodwill and protects a country from foreign competition.F However, managers still make costly mistakes when conducting business internationally simply because they do not understand such differences.G The most common barriers to international business are: cultural, social, and political barriers, and tariffs and trade restrictions.H Social forces which are universal in people’s daily life can create obstacles to international trade.9．【P1】正确答案：D解析：前四段提到五种因素会成为国际贸易壁垒，而后文主要对这五种壁垒逐一进行了介绍。
