BEC商务英语初级考试历年真题及答案6套
答案及解析 关于加薪的文章,教你怎么样实现加薪。这道题目不难,但是抛开题目,单说文章里谈
的加薪的方法,各位还是要辩证的看。要想人生第一份工作就找到自己满意的,是挺难,可 是以加薪为目的跳槽,也未必是什么明智的好办法。
31 题,太明显的定语从句,前面是 someone,那么当然填入表示人的关系代词 who。 32 题,in line with,和什么一致,固定搭配,在中级的选词版完型里常考到这个词组。 这句的意思是,找个一个愿意给你提供和你才能更加一致的薪水的人。 33 题,from me to me,时不时的。changing employers from me to me ,时不时的换 老板。 34 题,Irrespec ve of,同 regardless of 一样,后面接让步状语从句,不管我们对可能的 雇主研究的多么好,新的工作都是一个未知数。用 how well。 35 题,turn out to be,固定用法。 36 题,换工作,要么是个好的举措,要么将成为灾难。而我们大多数人这两种经历都 有。有这种经历,是过去完成时,用 have+done。 37 题,理解前后文意思。换老板不是件我们经常愿意做的事情,并且也不是一想要加 薪就要换老板。用 every me,表示每次要加薪就准备换老板。 38 题,这题有点难度,考验人的语法功底。首先这个句子是虚拟语气,We’d 是 we would 的缩写,而不是 we had。是表示对将来的假设,我们要承担更多的风险。所以用 would be。 39 题,比较明显的,view as,将什么视作什么。 40 题,和 circumstance 相关的词组,很容易想到 under/on some circumstance,在某种 情况下。
Component:one of several parts that together make up a whole machine, system etc Por on:a part of something larger, especially a part that is different from the other parts 这里强调 tes ng 是一个组成部分,没有说明特殊的地方,选 component。 28 题,对每个人未来的可能表现没有一个真正的衡量。选 measure。 29 题,fill a posi on,填补空位,fill 在这里的意思是 to perform a par cular job, ac vity, or purpose in an organiza on, or to find someone or something to do this 。不能选 occupy,因为 occupy 更强调人的一种主动,而这里只是客观说某个需要填补的职位。 30 题,in the business of,也是一种固定的说法,在什么的过程中。很多场合都可以使 用。可以多看几个例句: We’re in the business of s mula ng the economy (By Obama) Energe cs is a specialist management consultancy in the business of climate change

Can I speak to Mark Hanson?F: I’m afraid he is not in the office now. Can I take a message?M: Yes, I’m phoning from Worldwide Holidays. I made an order recently. Mark was dealing with it. There were several things, mainly brochures and pricelists. We’ve received those and they are fine, but we haven’t got the invitation cards that were ordered.F: When did you order them?M: It was about a week ago, last Thursday, I think. But it’srather urgent now. They’re for a business reception at the end of the month. And they need to be sent to the tour operators and hotel managers.F: We’re quite busy at the moment, but I’m sure he’ll get them to you for tomorrow. How is it for?M: It was originally 300, but can you make that 400? We may need more than we thought.F: Yes. Fine. Has Mark the details?M: He should have. If there’s a problem, I can fax them.F: Thanks, Mr. Martin. I’ll phone you if we need them.2.F: Hello, Mike. It’s Carrion here. I’ve just been reading the paper and the job in there with Alba, the publishing group. I think it will be perfect for you.M: Oh, what’s t he job?F: They want a marketing manager. Isn’t that the kind of thing you’re looking for?M: Yes. Does it say what the job involves?F: There’s a quite a big job description, but the main thing seems to be that you’ll be in charge of sales planning. Sounds quite interesting.M: Well, it will be better than the administration work I’m doing at the moment. What sort of qualifications are they looking for? I suppose they want you to have an MBA.F: No, there’s nothing here about that. But it does say that they’re looking for someone who can speak foreign languages. Well, that’s OK for you because you’ve lived abroad and you speak German, don’t you?M: Yes, and Spanish, too. When do the applications have tobe in by?F: What’s it today? The 9th of June. So you’ve plenty to time. The 3rd of July is the closing date. Do you want me to fax you the adverts so you can see yourself.M: Yes. That’ll be great. Thanks.F: OK. I’ll do it now.3.M: Hello! Mike here.F: Mike. It’s Angela.M: Oh, Hi.M: Oh, look, Mike. I’m phoning because I’m quite worried about last month’s figures.M: They don’t make pretty reading, do they?F: No, they don’t. I think we need to have a meeting to talk about the rising costs.M: Sounds like a good idea. When were you thinking of?F: As soon as possible. I think we should try to put together new department budgets. Each department will then have set limits for their spending.M: Yes. I’m sure that will help. Who would you specially like to have at the meeting?F: Well, us, obviously. And can you make sure that the sales coordinator is available. And also the buildings manager? We’ll need their input.M: Sure. I’ll get on to them. And I’ll book the boardroom.F: Oh, can you make sure that there’ll be a laptop available there on the day. I’d like to show the figures for this year and last year.M: No problem. I’ll get back to you later to confirm the details.F: Fine. Thanks.Part II13. Very useful indeed! The general manager and the research director showed us around their high-tech production unit and there was a presentation of some of the products they’re planning. They’re certainly coming up with plans for some innovative products. I’m fairly sure we can come to some agreement about working together on at least two of them, though there’ll be some hard bargaining, I should think.14. They were really excellent. The best group I’ve ever worked with. I was able to cover the theoretical ground very quickly and got to the practical stuff earlier than I’d expected. This meant that they had much more practice than other groups and won’t need too much support from us, even in the initial stage of using the program.15. They weren’t easy, Mark. They were not easy! They asked us extremely detailed questions about our products and our ability to meet deadlines. In fact, at one point I thought we’re going to have to withdraw because it looked as if we wouldn’t be able to meet all their requirements. But then they made a number of concessions. In the end I think we’ve managed to get a good deal. Certainly it’s the biggest contract I’ve been involved with.16.The first day was particularly useful because there were some interesting speakers, mainly from big multinationals, talking on such as I’m interested in, like the international aspects of industrial relations and employment law. Then in the evening I had some extremely interesting conversations withspeakers. I hope there’ll useful contacts in the future. But other delegates thought it wasn’t very well attended, because the organizers ad decided against having an exhibition area so fewer people came.17. We revealed the month’s work and discussed next month’s targets. We decided that we definitely need some extra help with the personnel selection because there’s just too much for one person. Generally I think we’re a pretty good team. Of course there’re a few problems now and again, but we always discuss them in a very calm and sensible way and come up with solutions that work, so far, anyway.18. All I can say is that I’d stood out as the best applican t straight away or they took an instant dislike to me. I’d expected it to last at least 45 minutes, and possibly to involve 2 sessions. But I left I managed to go for a swim and do some shopping before I got back to the office for lunch.19. I’ve b een over all the obvious things I knew they would ask me with a colleague and I practiced all my answers over and over again. I felt sure I could deal with anything they’d put to me. Well, they started asking me what I though my weaknesses were. I just had n’t prepared for that, but because I had done so much preparation for other questions I managed to come up with a really good answer.20. Well, I got there and I thought I am really well prepared for this. I was wearing my best suit. I arrived on time and so did the other three applicants. But they kept us waiting for an hour and a half while they tried to sort themselves out. By the time I went I was so patient with the company I didn’t want the job any more.21. It’s fine, isn’t it. I can do it now. I knew what they weregoing to ask me. But when you are under all that pressure and all those questions are coming at you, something let you down. And whatever you say, you know you haven’t got the message across right and they haven’t understo od what you really meant. If only could get a second chance.22. I got home late from the meeting than I before () andI was really tired, but I lay awake all night. I guess I should have thought more carefully about wearing the right sort of things. But I was a bit disorganized and rushed out of the flat as if it was just an ordinary day and then felt like an odd one out when I got there and saw everyone else in suits. I was so embarrassed.Part IIIF: With me today is Peter Williams from Kingston University. Welcome! Peter.M: Thank you.F: Peter, you recently a large research study on training in small businesses. What made you focus on small businesses? After all, most of your experience has been with the huge multinational Cleantex. And in fact you eventually you ran their training department, didn’t you?M: Well, you are partly right. You see, when I joined the university a year ago they wanted me to start a training program for small businesses. I’d j ust sold my own small business, which I’d started when I left Cleantex. The 8 years I ran my own business taught me more about training than all my years with Cleantex. But I felt I couldn’t base a training program on my experience alone. So I decided to do research first.F: And how much training did you find in most small companies. Can they afford to do much training?M: Well, firstly small businesses are often accused of notdoing enough training. But that is the opinion of big businesses of course. It’s true that the government is encouraging small firms to increase their training budgets. They’re trying to introduce financial assistance for this. But I have to say I find lots of training going on. The real problem is that most small bu sinesses don’t always know how much training they’re providing or how much it’s actually costing them.F: But surely businesses have budgets and training records.M: Unfortunately most small companies don’t set aside a specific training b udget. It’s not that they don’t want to spend the money but that they operate differently. You see, things change very quickly in small firms and it’s impossible to predict the training needs. An employee can be moved to a new project very suddenly and then training has to be organized within days. And most small businesses prefer to use their experienced staff to do any training on the job.F: Did you manage to work out the costs of training?M: Well, it took time to work out the indirect costs. You see, most small business managers don’t include these costs in their calculations. Most of them keep records of obvious expenses, like, many expenses like external courses, travel, training manual, and videos, etc. But not many firms have specific training accounts and they don’t include the time managers spend on training, waste of materials, lost of productivity and so on. I spent hours with company accountants trying to see where these hidden costs were.F: How much are small firms spending on training?M: More than half of the businesses I surveyed spent at least 1% of their annual salary bill on training. And some of these spentup to 5% of their pay roll. In fact smaller firms are investing on average over 10% more on training per employee than larger firms.F: How good is that training?M: As I said, small firms usually get an experienced employee to show new staff how to do that job. This can be useful if the person is carefully selected and well-trai ned himself. But it’s not really enough. The trainee needs to do the job with the experienced employee on hand for guidance and feedback. This gets trainees much better skills than any packaged courses.F: And has your study helped you plan new courses for small businesses?M: Definitely. I now understand what they want and how they want it delivered. I now know that small firms were only investing in training if it immediately helped their enterprise. But most formal training focuses on long-term business needs. Most small businesses can’t plan far ahead. They want direct results from training in skills they need now. New technologies and IT skills are identified as a priority by all the firms I surveyed.F: What is the first course the university offer small businesses?M: Up till now most of short courses for companies in general have dealt with helping businesses grow. These aren’t really appropriate for small companies as growth can be very risky for them. They obviously need to grow but they’re afraid of fast growth. I’m going to start with courses on IT and software the small companies are likely to require because of the business growth to come later. And they’ll need to be changed to make them more relevant to small businesses.F: Well, I wish you every success with the course.。

不要沉迷于昨日的成功Today's advice comes from Autodesk Inc. CEO Carl Bass:今天的嘉宾是Autodesk Inc.首席执行官Carl Bass:"I think it’s real easy as a leader to confusewhat the results are today with the actions that happened a while ago, BECause then you just start coasting."“我认为作为真的很容易混淆过去的行为与该行为所产生的结果,那就意味着你已经开始走下坡路了。

”Bass says the problem is that companies use factors like revenueand profit to measure their success, but it's possible that these things are still positive even after a company has lost its original spark.Bass表示,问题就在于公司总是在用绩效和收益来衡量公司的成功与否。

但是,计时在公司出现问题之后,这些东西可能还是显示良好。

"I’ve been spending a lot more time trying to quantifyor figure out if what we’re doing is right, or whether what we’re really doing is just celebrating the result of things that happened a while ago."“一直以来,我都花大量的时间尝试着确定或指出是否我们在做的事情是正确的,或者是否我们真正在做的只是在享受之前的成果。

Management is a career. Leadership is a calling. You don''t have to be tall, well-spoken and good looking to be a successful leader. You don''t have to have that "special something" to fulfill the leadership role.BWhat you have to have is clearly defined convictions—and, more importantly, the courage of your convictions to see them manifestinto reality. Only when you understand your role as guide and steward based on your own most deeply held truths can you move from manager to leader.CWhether the group you oversee is called employees, associates,co-workers, teammates or anything else, what they are looking for is someone in whom they can place their trust. Someone they know is working for the greater good—for them and for the organization. They''re looking for someone not only that they can—but that they want to—follow.DBecause it is only when you have followers—people who have placed their trust in you—that you know you have moved into that leadership role. And the way you see it is that your organization is transcending all previous quality, productivity, innovation and revenue achievements. You''re operating at such a high level of efficiency that you''re giving budget back to the corporation—and you''re still beating your goals.0. The move from a manager to a leader.

These banks purchase securities from the issuer and attempt to resell them in the open market at a reasonable profit. There are industrial banks, which accept smaller consumer savings deposits and makecertain types of loans, principally cash loans to wage earners. And there are savings banks, which draw upon individual and family savings as their principal source of funds and invest those funds mainly in mortgages, corporate bonds, and **mon stock.Complicating the issue of what a bank is is rapid changes now occurring in the financial services industry. Many financial firms, particularly **panies, brokerage firms, and mutual funds, are today offering traditional banking services including liquid savings accounts and transactions accounts (checkable deposits) which can be drafted to make payments. Shares in a money market mutual fund are a well-known example of a recent service innovation by brokerage firms and mutual funds **pete directly with bank savings and transactions accounts. (8).When students in the field of financial institutions use the term bank they usually have a specific meaning in mind, however. (9) ——1) transactions accounts, which may be used to make payments for purchases of goods and services and are widely accepted by the public for that purpose; and 2) direct loans to business, individuals, and other institutions. (10). Commercial bank checking accounts are the principal means of payment in the economy and are widely accepted as money. **mercial banks do purchase investment securities (such as corporate and government bonds) traded in the open market, their principal asset is loans made directly to business firms, individuals and families, securities dealers, and a host of other borrowers.(11). Commercial banks offer such diverse financial services as time and savings deposits, lease financing, financial advice and counseling, portfolio management, the safe-keeping of valuables, transfer of securities, bookkeeping, and the guaranteeing of credit received from other lenders. (12). However, the essence of banking—what separates this particular financial institution from all the others—is the making of loans and the selling of transactions (or payments) accounts.[A] Basically, a bank is what a bank does, regardless of the name given to the institution by the owners or others.[B] Indeed, so numerous are the services offered today by commercial banks that these institutions are often called financial department stores.[C] A bank in the usual and traditional sense is a financial institution offering two major services to the public.[D] The name of a bank is used very loosely today to describe a wide variety of institutions.[E] A transaction account is essentially equivalent to a checking account.[F] To be sure, banks offer many other services than just transactions accounts and loans.[G] The financial **es closest to this definition in **mercial bank.

This is not always an easy task. Suppose that the price of a chocolate doughnut is $ 1.00. The government then imposes on sellers a tax of 10 cents per doughnut. A few weeks after its imposition, the tax causes the price to increase to $ 1.00. The doughnut seller clearly receives the same amount per doughnut as he or she did before the tax—the tax has not made the seller worse off. Consumers pay the entire tax in the form of higher prices. On the other hand, suppose that after the tax the price increases to $ 1.04. In this case, the seller keeps only 94 cents per doughnut, and is worse off by 6 cents per doughnut. Consumers are also worse off, however, because they have to pay 4 cents more per doughnut. In this case, retailers and consumers share the burden of the tax.The way a tax affects people is called tax incidence. The statutory incidence of a tax refers to the individuals or groups who must legally pay the tax. The statutory incidence reveals essentially nothing about a tax''s real burden, because as previously illustrated prices may change in response to a tax. In contrast, the economic incidence of a tax refers to its actual effects on people''s incomes. The economic incidence of a tax depends on how buyers and sellers of **modity react when the tax is imposed. The more sensitive consumers are to change in price, the easier it is for them to turn to other products when the price goes up, in which case producers bear more of the tax burden. On the other hand, if consumers purchase the same amount regardless of price, they bear the whole burden.Taxes have a very important impact on foreign direct investment decisions. Taxes will determine the financial structure of a subsidiary, and they will influence pricing decisions. They may also lead to the formation of **panies. A MNC (Multinational Corporation) may decide to establish a branch rather than a subsidiary because of a given tax situation. The absence of a tax treaty between the country of a would-be investor and the nation where a foreign investment is to take place might lead to cancellation of investment plans. An unfavorable depreciation in allowance may keep the foreign investor out.Tax rates differ greatly among countries. Some countries have a zero corporate tax rate for the first few years of a newsubsidiary''s existence. This is called a tax holiday. It is an investment incentive. Most incentives, however, relate to tax-deductible items. Some countries may allow 100 percent depreciation on machinery in the year of purchase, while others merely allow an accelerated depreciation in the first years.Less developed countries usually have lower corporate tax ratesin order to attract foreign investment. Countries differ greatly in determining taxable earnings. Some allow accelerated depreciation, whereby the asset (usually the plant or equipment) is written off at a substantially higher rate during the first years than in the later years. This allows for smaller taxable earnings in the early years. Other countries allow tax-free investment reserves. These are used at a later stage for investment in underdeveloped areas of countries or are sent when countries are in a recession.SSS_SINGLE_SEL13.What does the example of selling doughnut in the passage demonstrate?A Retailers and consumers share the burden of the taxB One must determine who bears the burden of the taxC Consumers pay the entire tax in the form of higher pricesD The statutory incidence reveals essentially nothing about atax's real burden.该问题分值: 0.XX6667答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL14.The economic incidence of a tax partly depends on______A actual effects on people's incomesB consumer's reaction to impositionC how much burden producers bearD how sensitive sellers of **modity are该问题分值: 0.XX6667答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL15.Taxes play an important role in foreign direct investment decisionsin that______A taxes can affect the amount of money for which something is soldB taxes can prevent the incorporation of companiesC taxes make foreign direct investment an easy taskD taxes provide some profit choices to foreign investors该问题分值: 0.XX6667答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL16.A MNC decides to establish a branch rather than a subsidiary, because______A a branch has a larger scale than subsidiaryB already regulated tax situation is not so advantageousC a subsidiary must be adjusted to a given tax situationD there is no tax treaty in the nation invested该问题分值: 0.XX6667答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL17.Why is a tax holiday an investment incentive?A Tax rates differ greatly because of a tax holidayB During a tax holiday, government doesn't levy taxesC During a tax holiday, some of new subsidiaries will reduce taxes on machineryD Problem of unemployment can be solved.该问题分值: 0.XX6667答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL18.When do some less developed countries allow tax-free investment reserves?A When the economy of those countries is not doing wellB At a later stage for investment in those countriesC When an unfavorable depreciation in allowance is usedD When the property of the plant is written off at a lower rate in the later years.该问题分值: 0.XX6667答案:ASECTION 4 (Questions 19-33) -Read the article below and choose the best answer to fill each blank from the 4 choices marked A,B,C, and D. -The answer for blank (0) has been given as an example.Tribunal Rules on Smoking at Work CaseEmployers must take sufficient (0) to protect non-smoking employees from tobacco smoke or they might be faced with legal (19), warns law firm Thomas, Sell & Passmore.Jill Thomas, an employment law specialist with the firm, quotes a recent (20) brought before the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). An employer''s failure to protect its employees against tobacco smoke(21) an employee to quit her job. Whilst working, the employee was(22) to work near four secretaries who smoked and the rooms of threesolicitors who smoked cigarettes, cigars and a pipe. All doors were kept open to allow ventilation from smoking rooms. After a series of (23) from the plaintiff and fellow colleagues, the employer consulted staff and agreed that a smoking policy should be (24) up. However, the policy did not go (25) enough to solve the problem for the plaintiff. She was finally told either to (26) up with the smoke or leave, which she did.The EAT ruled that the employer had breached its contractual (27) to deal reasonably and promptly with its employees'' grievances, and to provide a reasonable working (28) suitable for its employees. The plaintiff was awarded (29).But employers are advised to think carefully before they rushinto implementing or enforcing smoking ban.

We find that the quality and functions of different brands of engines are similar.However, one important point has called our attention. That is, the electricity consumption of different brands of engines varies sharply. Brand C consumes the most electricity per hour, while B consumes the least. As is known, the low electricity consumption can gently reduce the production cost.Based on the analysis above, we recommend B which can deduce our cost desirably.SECTION 2Conversation?

二、便函写作的格式便函通常包含以下几个部分:1. 公司名称;2. 公司的电话号码或传真号码;3. 收函人姓名(和职位)To:4. 留言人姓名(和职位)From:5. 留言日期Date:6. 便函主题Subject:7. 正文下面我们选择两则便函为例,结合我们刚刚讲到的有关便函的知识,给大家做一个具体的讲解。

II. 便函写作应试技巧一、题目要求在阅读写作考试的第46题,即写作考试的第一部分,考生需要完成一则便函的写作。

请看下面这个题目:A new designer, Mary Watts, has just joined your company.λWrite a memoλ to all staff:Telling them who the new employee isλSaying what herλ responsibilities will beExplaining where her office is located.λWriteλ 30-40 words.Write on your Answer Sheet.λ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………在考试时,题目中会给你一个特定的情景,同时会告诉给你要完成三项写作任务;题目中会有清楚的字数限制,即30-40字,超出或少于这个字数限制都会影响你的成绩。

在便函写作中,你会碰到的写作文体有note、message、 memo或者e-mail。

这些都是非正式的文体,所以在语气和选词时都可以用不正式的语言完成。

同时,题目中还会给你要完成的写作文体的格式。

如上面这个例子就把便函的格式告诉给你了。

你在把答案写在答题卡上时不用抄写这个格式。

大家可以参看上面的例子再次来理解一下便函的结构。

不过,你并不需要把这个格式抄写到答题卡上。

此外,考试当中你还会碰到写便条(note)、留言(message)和电子邮件(e-mail)。

便条和留言的格式是直接写正文,然后在正文的最后签上自己的姓名。

而电子邮件的格式是大家经常在网上可以看到的,下面就是一个中文版的电子邮件的界面。

To: Johnkin@From: Alicetian@CC:Subject: Cash Flow不过考试时题目中都会给你格式,你不用抄写这些格式,只要从正文开始写起就可以了。
