You have 15 seconds to read through the note. [pause] Now listen， and fill in the spaces. Man： Good morning. Marketing Department. Peter Menzies speaking. Woman： Hello. Could I speak to John Fitzgerald， please? Man： I’m afraid he’s not in the office at the moment. Woman： Well， this is Elizabeth Parnell calling. I wanted to talk to John about the meeting next week. You see， I only get back on Tuesday night from a trade fair in the States. Man： So， would you like me to give him a message? Woman： Yes， could you ask him if we can postpone Wednesday’s meeting? Till after lunch. That would be easier. I was originally going to be at ten a.m. Man： OK. I’ll ask him to change it. I’ll get back to you with a time. Woman： Thanks. And could you also ask him to add another item for discussion at the meeting? I thought we were going to talk about the revised budgets – but I can’t see this on the agenda. Man： OK. I’d better ask him to call you … Woman： Yes， please. I’m at Head Office at the moment. Can he phone me here today – I won’t be back at my own desk until tomorrow afternoon. Man： Right， I’ll give him the message. Woman： Thanks. Man： Bye. Woman： Goodbye. [pause] Now listen to the recording again. [pause] That is the end of Part One. You now have 20 seconds to check your answers. [pause] Part Two Section Two (Questions 18-22) You will hear another five recordings. For each recording， decide what the speaker’s purpose is. Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording. Do not use any letter more than once. After you have listened once， replay the recordings. A to make a complaint B to deny something C to offer assistance D to ask for advice E to express doubt F to ask for permission G to explain an action H to recommend a new policy 18 …………………………………… 19 …………………………………… 20 …………………………………… 21 …………………………………… 22 …………………………………… 答案：18 C 19 G 20 H 21 E 22 B Tapescript Section Two. Question 18 to 22. You will hear another five recordings. For each recording， decide what the speaker’s purpose is. Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording. Do not use any letter more than once. After you have listened once， replay the recordings. You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H. [pause] Now listen， and decide what each speaker’s purpose is. [pause] Eighteen Man： Hello. This is Guy Cooper from Centron Electronics here. I believe you rang for some advice about your alarm system， which isn’t functioning properly. The message I got said you weren’t sure if you needed someone to come and sort it out， or if we could advise you over the phone. Well perhaps you’d like to get back to me as soon as it’s convenient and tell me exactly what the problem is， and I’ll see what I can do. [pause] Nineteen Woman： Well， as you say， Redlon has been supplying us for years but， quite honestly， two-thirds of the complaints we receive about our products are actually due to faults in components we’ve had from Redlon. So I talked to the Production Manager and he agreed that I should look at some alternatives. Future World’s range is fine for us， and one of their customers who I spoke to recommended them highly， so that’s why we’ve changed to using them. [pause] Twenty Woman： The competition’s getting tougher， and you know we’ve facing serious problems. We need to see more benefit from the undeniably hard work we’re putting in， and this means saying no to jobs which aren’t profitable. It would be much more beneficial to put all our efforts into winning higher-margin contracts. So the way I feel you can help most is by identifying the types of contracts which bring in the income we need in order to ensure our future. [pause] Twenty-one Man： John Woods here， phoning about the project we discussed earlier. Could you give me a ring so that we can talk about it a bit more? I’ve done a few calculations and I’m beginning to wonder whether it’s really a practical proposition. I still think the project’s got potential， but there are significant additional costs which we hadn’t taken into account. So could you get back to me as soon as you can， please? [pause] Twenty-two Woman： Hello， Sally here， from Pagwell Paints， returning your call. I’m very sorry you aren’t happy with the latest consignment you’ve had from us. It’s rather strange， because following your complaint about the last delivery， we did in fact take action to change the specifications in the way you suggested. So it isn’t quite fair to say that we ignored your advice.I know it’s important to achieve the consistency that you require， but perhaps your recommendation wasn’t exactly what’s needed. [pause] Now listen to the recording again. [pause] That is the end of Part Two. [pause] Part Two 分析： 1分类：places/addresses/topics/opinions/reasons/purposes/function 2重点：purpose/topics/function 3解题⽅法： 1)审题，找中⼼词 2)先听后选 3)注意⼒分配：⾸句—⽅向;末句—信息最多 but， however， so， therefore although， though， despite， in spite of 4)注意陷阱：原词。

商务英语中级听力练习：商务着装(附文本)Dressing for BusinessD1Did you see the way that Brian came to work yesterday? Ever since he came back from that conference in Silicon Valley, he's been coming to work dressed in jeans and sweatshirts. It's like he's decided to make himself at home in his office. I don't know how long it'll take before the management talks to him about it.He was really influenced by the way they do things on the west coast. I guess the working atmosphere is a lot more relaxed and casual in California. It comes from the information technology industry.. there isn't such a large division between home and office, so people want to work in the clothes they feel more relaxed in.Maybe so, but it seems kind of strange, which the rest of us in white shirts, dark suites, and ties.It's not as bad as that...We are allowed to wear more casual jackets and trousers. Besides, didn't you hear what Brian found on his desk this morning?What's that?Management decided to give him four brand new white shirts. That's their way of telling him that his new style of dressing down is not quite acceptable.D2Even if our company didn't have a dress code, I still think people would wear formal clothing to work.I wouldn't be so sure... People want to wear what they feel most cofortalbe in.Maybe that's ture for some positions, but I think the marketing and sales staff would definitely not agree. They dress for success? You can't go out on a sales cal if you are dressed in jeans. It's just not respectful to you client.I think what you wear is so overrated. I would rather have a down-to-earth, honest and solid sales person than a painted, patent leaather, designer suite salesman.It's not as simple as that. People judge you by your appearance, whether you like it or not. So dressing professional is being prefessional. The image that you portray to others is so important in business. It's your imag and how others perecive you that makes the difference between landing or lossing a sale.Maybe you're right, but I'll take my sneakers and jeans any day!BEC商务英语中级听力练习：商务旅行(附文本)International Business TravelDialogue 1A: I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference.

You haven't even been anywhere on vacation?B: No, I have never vacationed anywhere exotic. But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time, at least I can travel on company time!A: Well, being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity. Have you applied at the embassy for a visayet?B: Yes, it wasn't too hard to get. All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee.A: You leave next Tuesday, right? What time is your flight?B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off. I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9.B: That would be great! Thanks a lot!Dialogue 2A: How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there?B: Good! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.A: Why would you say that?B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable.B: Have you ever been to Japan?A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.BEC中级听力考试高频短语集锦11.a change of pace 节奏变换You can’t do these chemistry experiments al l day long.

Food.（分数：2.00）A. √B.C.D.解析：[听力原文]In the last 500 years, nothing about people not their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of a certain kind of tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became popular. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people died from hunger when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845-1846.There are many other foods that have travelled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in many other countries of South America. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.The thing about people that has changed the most is(2).A. South American Indians. B. The Spanish.C. English people.D. Londoner.（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：[听力原文]Who introduced the original chocolate drink to the rest of the world during the 1500s?(3).A. Spain. B. The New World.C. England.D. None of the above.（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：[听力原文]Where is potato from?(4).A. Coffee travelled from South America to the Old World.B. Coffee travelled from Europe to Ethiopia.C. Brazil produces the greatest amount of coffee.D. Ethiopia produces the greatest amount of coffee.（分数：2.00）A.B.C. √D.解析：[听力原文]Which statement is true according to the speaker?（分数：8.00）(1).A. A uniformed policeman whose job is to catch criminals.B. A policeman out of uniform whose job is to track down criminals.C. An ordinary man who finds out criminals.D. An ordinary policeman whose job is to avoid criminals.（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：[听力原文]A detective is a policeman, but he does not wear a uniform. He works in his ordinary clothes. If he wears a uniform, robbers will know that he is a policeman. Then they will avoid him. "To detect" means "to find out". A detective finds out who does bad things.

They were surprised to find that the students' scores jumped 8 to 9 points. The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain, similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem. However, the scientists warn that before you get too excited about applying this method to you math test, you should remember that brain exciting effects last only 10 to 15 minutes.

It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time. A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits. The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to do properly, a computer must be given instruction it must be programmed.Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes—they can be used to prepare payrolls, guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even to play chess.
