2020年商务英语（BEC）初级口语试题及答案（卷九）Every employee has five sources of power to draw from. Assess your potential power sources and use them to your advantage.1. Personal power is all about your charisma, your passion to achieve the strength of your convictions, your ability to communicate and inspire, and your leadership skills.2. Relationship power derives from the network of contacts and friends that you make, develop, and maintain at work; from coworkers who keep you up to date with the goings-on in their part of the organization, to executives who seek you out for special projects——and everyone in between.3. Position power is directly related to where you reside on your company’s organizational chart. Owners, presidents, and CEOs have plenty of position power, while receptionists, clerks, and laborers typically have little or none.4. Knowledge power is based on the special expertise and knowledge that you have of your job, your departments, or your organization.5. Task power is inherent in the jobs you are assigned at work. Some work is by nature more important to the health of the organization than others. For example, salespeople, whose job is to bring in money by selling its products or services, usually have high task power.You can leverage any source of power you have to build your base of power in another source.参考译文：每个雇员都有五种可以利用的权力资源。

BEC商务英语（初级）口语模拟试卷33(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. INTERVIEW 2. MINI PRESENTATIONS 3. DISCUSSIONSECTION 1 INTERVIEW (ABOUT 3 MIN)In this part, the interlocutor asks questions to eath of the candidates in turn. You have to give information about yourself and express personal opinions.正确答案：SECTION 2 MINI PRESENTATIONS (ABOUT 6 MIN)In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about 1 minute. You have 1 minute to prepare your ideas.1．In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.1. A: What is important when…? Choosing a teacher for business English course ? experience of teaching ? experience of working in a company ? tuition B: What is important when…? Selling in a hard market ? quality of the product ? relationship ? service正确答案： A. In my perspective, the experience as a teacher is fundamental, and it is the only way to make the teaching process more effective. The same thing applies to the teaching of business English. The teacher with teaching experience knows the best way to deliver the knowledge and knows how to deal with students. Therefore, they can communicate with the students more skillfully and thus make the learning process more fruitful. However, at the same time, working experience in a company is essential to the teaching of business English. A teacher with working experience can draw upon some personal examples about real life business in the class, and therefore make teaching more interesting and practical. The knowledge is taught in a vivid way, and also the teacher can provide useful advices for the students’future career. A teacher with both teaching and working experience will be the best. In addition, such a teacher who charges a comparatively low tuition of course will be even better. B. Quality is the life of the company. It is the product that consumers always pay attention to. Without quality products, no matter how strong the consumer relationship is or how good the service it provides, the company will lose in a hard market. The product is the most important. A good product itself is the best advertisement. On the other hand, a good relationship with clients and a good service will absolutely add score for the company. They are good ways for the company to establish consumer loyalty. Therefore, all the threefactors mentioned above are inseparable with the success of a company.SECTION 3 DISCUSSION (ABOUT 5 MIN)In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic.

I like this job, this is the most important thing, and it’s also why I apply for this job. But the salary is a little bit low. That’s what I’m concerning the most. Maybe I can talk with the boss this afternoon. A: Yes, definitely, salary is very important. And maybe the boss is very nice and considerate that he will raise you salary a little bit. You know, a good boss can make your work happier. B: That’s right. I hope he is not a harsh boss who always makes his employees to work overtime. Maybe sometimes I can, but I can’t stand always to work during night or holidays. A: Yes, that’s right. By the way, is this new working place far from your apartment?

2020年商务英语BEC初级模拟训练题及答案Questions 9–14Read the text taken from an article about the development of international managersChoose 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)Search for the “ worldly –wise” company executivesThe quest for international managers is underway in virtually every industrialized economy , the search has been made urgent by the globalization of world markets and the growth in crossborder mergers and acquisitions. (0) Many firms report being so stretched that they simply do not have enough of the high-quality people they require to lead their their global expansion.Other companies are having difficulties releasing experienced people from existing operations in order to lead new international ventures. There are indications that a shorftage of internationally skilled people may be an important constraint on firms’ international ambitions. (9) However, identifying the need for international managers is easier than developing them.So what makes an international manager? Paul Evans, a professor at INSEAD, the European business school, does not believe that any particular nationality produces a more international manager. Neither does he believe that it’s a matter of having the ability to cope with a lifestyle that involves working in Madrid one day, London the next andBerlin the day after. (10) Rather, he believes that the secret of being a good international manger is being comfortable with managing diversity.Ford of Europe, which has encouraged the development of international managers for more than 20 years, says that its managers are globally-minded before they become global operators. (11) a car that you buy in the UK, for example, is going to be the same car that sells in Germany, Finland and Portugal, so the people who are involv ed in the car’s development have to be aware of the market requirements inall those different countries.Generally, it seems that the only effective way to develop international skills and perspectives is through direct international experience. (12) Such experiences open people’s minds to the fact that things are done differently lese where and encourages them to think in a wilder context..Formulating effective strategies for developing a company’s management resource is a demanding exercise, w ith conflicting issues to be solved (13) Another dilemma is whether to use local managers or expatriates.The recruitment and development of effective international managers requires considerable financial resources and can be hard to justify at budget meetings. (14) however , without them, companies will continue to find their expansion plans frustrated by a lack of internationally effective managers.A from the moment they join the company, employees are faced with having to think internationallyB This can be through involvement in international task forces or through living and working abroad.C Should , for example, only an elite few receive international experience in preparation for top jobs or should it be offered to a wider group?D these problems mean that developing managers who think and operate globally is absolutely vital for companies operating in foreign markets.E Language training , overseas visits and in-house management courses are all expensive to implement.F Jet-setting between international operations merely creates a business equivalent of theover-packaged touristG Companies are now emphasizing the human skills involved in managing other peopleH These trends are pushing companies’ existing management resources to the limit参考答案：9-10 DF 11-14 ABCE。
