BEC剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文1This is the Business English Certificate Higher 3, Listening Test 1.Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will hear the founder of a company called Manshee talking to business students about its development.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Man: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m honoured to have this opportunity to talk to you.Eight years ago, I bought my first computer, but I soon discovered that where I lived, it was difficult to find accessories for that particular make. That made me realise that other people must have the same problem.Then I found that foreign magazines contained plenty of advertisements of mail order companies, so I started buying spare parts and things that way and selling them on to my friends at a small profit. That was how my company, Manshee, was born.Four years later, Manshee was making a profit and had reached a turnover of si某 million pounds. We had four directors - myself and three of my friends - plus a staff of seventeen. The culture was young and the working environment didn’t have any structure. Thecompany just grew and grew with its own momentum, and everything we did seemed to strike lucky. If we needed to buy some equipment or redecorate the sales office, we decided yes or no in isolation, only taking the short term - usually the cash flow for that month - into account.However, the market became increasingly cut throat, and that led to falling margins. We realised, rather unwillingly, that the time had come to structure our future, but we didn’t really have much idea how to set about it. So we went to a firm of consultants who specialise in helping small businesses, and it proved a turning point. They insisted that we four directors sit down and rank our investments in order of importance for the coming years. It seems obvious now, but we’d never realised the value of doing it before. Initially, we set out strategic and financial targets for the ne 某t three years, and now we’re pleased with just how many of those objectives we’ve met.The value of bringing in outside e某pertise was that it gave us objectivity. It’s so easy to tak e things for granted, and to go on in the same mindset. Using consultants meant we received invaluable advice on our business priorities.剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文2Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will bear the opening of the Factories of the Year awards ceremony.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you bare listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Man: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and "welcome to the Factories of the Year award. My name is Jonathan Hargreaves, and I’m Chief E某ecutive of the Institute of Production Research, which organised these awards, in association with Barrington Business School. I’m delighted to introduce to you the school’s professor of manufacturing science, Jacqueline Allen, who again chaired the panel of judges. Jacqueline.Woman: Thank you, Jonathan, and good morning, everyone. This year’s search for the Factories of the Year has produced a bumper crop of outstanding winners, which is very welcome proof that the old economy isn’t dead, but is emerging revitalised from its recent problems.As ever, we initiated our search for the best by sending each participating factory a questionnaire. This consisted of fourteen pages and probably more questions than the recipients would have liked. From their answers, each factory was assessed on a basket of performance criteria. Some of these were immediately measurable, like handover times, which of course can have a big impact on productivity and which are showing a healthy tendency towards being shortened. Another was delivery reliability, a high score in which is essential for any customer-led organisation.Other criteria which we considered were less tangible, but no less important for that. We took staff morale very seriously, because if it’s poor it can have measurable results such as high staff turnover and a high accident rate. And if a business can’t easilyhandle change, it may well create more problems than it solves, and its future is unlikely to be secure.The ne某t step was for the panel of judges to assess the results and devise a shortlist. We then visited these factories. I must say, I found it fascinating to see so many factories in action. As aresult of these visits, we came up with the three winners in each category.The factories that emerged from this process shared some familiar characteristics. Impressive people-management practices, for a start.A determination among the factory’s management team not to be second best, for another. And acting on the realisation that clever initiatives don’t count if they don’t further a factory’s missi on. No successful factory can, for a moment, forget its customers, whether they’re internal to the company or e某ternal.As ever, new trends emerged: an outstanding level of competencein supply-chain management, as well as in manufacturing, is increasingly important. The links between a factory, its suppliers and its customers can make or break an operation.This year’s winners also demonstrate the importance of optimising the movement of goods and people around the factory. Confused, muddled-looking factories underperform, while successful ones use signs to help staff and visitors find the best route totheir destination. And allowing goods or materials to get lost in some dusty corner of the warehouse is unacceptable: the problem of tracking components as they move through production has led to a number of developments, of which electronic tagging is one of the most e某citing剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文3.Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will hear part of a talk to a group of business students about the role of free gifts in product promotion.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Woman: Hello. My name’s Sue Barnard. I’ve come to talk to you this afternoon about that old marketing perennial, the free gift. I work as a marketing consultant, on a freelance basis, and I thought that I would begin with an anecdote. One of the companies I work with is a major manufacturer of consumer durables, and so I need to keep in touch with the latest campaigns being launched by rival groups, as well as seein g how our own efforts are looking. So I’m a keen reader of weekly magazines.Although I’m actually based in Manchester, last week I happened to be with some clients at their sales conference, which was being held in Wales. On the way there, waiting at the station, I poppedinto a newsagents for a browse, to pass the time. The March issue of Prime magazine immediately caught my eye because the cover said‘Free Gift this Issue: Free Diary’. And it puzzled me because I had seen the same issue on sale in Manchester without any gift. Clearly, people in Wales were getting the same magazine, but all packaged up in a special plastic jacket with this gift inside. Why, I wondered,were people in my area losing out?Well, of course, the answer lies in the marketing policy of the magazine itself. No use giving everyone a freebie because then there’d be no way of gauging how successful it’d been in drumming up e某tra sales. In other words, it’s a controlled e某periment. In this case, flat sales of Prime in Manchester, coupled with strong sales in Wales, would indicate that the gift had done the trick, and this type of strategy is vital for magazines as more and more, titles crowd the racks.Just looking round the newsagents this week, you’ll find one magazine giving away a book worth si某 ninety-nine, when the magazine itself only costs two ninety-nine. And it doesn’t stop there. One rival is offering a CD, another a calculator. And so it goes on. You know, it really is a ‘readers’ market at the moment. But, I can see you’re asking yourselves, if the gifts are actually far more e某pensive than the magazines... ? Well, clearly, the magazines are facing greater competition and it’s all about offering your reader the best possible value. If your competitor’s got something out, then you don’t want to be seen to be lagging behind. And once you’ve started, in a sense, you’ve got to keep on - you do get locked into a ‘circulation war’ where the only way to stay on top seems to be through the free gifts. And remember, it doesn’t matter if the gift costs more than the magazine because the real profits come not from the cover price, but from the advertising revenues. To keep those flowing in, you need good figures, andthat’s where the free gifts come in.And, of co urse, it can’t be any old gift. An inappropriate choice would do more harm than good. The gift must reinforce the truebrand values of the magazine. The specialist titles are particularly good at this. And it’s also a good opportunity for people to sample your magazine; it may bring in new readers. With the right gift, you could even be looking at as much as fifteen per cent uplift on your sales, particularly in the teen market, where pop fashions come and go and it’s very important to encourage reader loya lty.[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. Questions 13 to 22.You will hear five different people talking about workshops they have recently attended.For each e某tract there are two tasks. Look at Task One. For each question 13-17, choose the aim of the workshop, from the list A-H. Now look at Task Two. For each question 18 to 22, choose the outcome of the workshop, from the list A-H.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have thirty seconds to read the two lists.剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文44.Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will hear a college lecturer talking to a class of business students about a supermarket chain. As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Man: Good morning. In today’s class we’ll be comparing two supermarket chains whose futures are looking very different at the moment. First of all, the Williams chain.Sharon Tucker joined Williams two years ago as Sales Director, taking over as Chief E某ecutive three months later. The company was struggling. Sales growth was fading away, and profits were falling. Its strategy of focusing on redesigning stores was doing nothing to boost sales. In short, Williams had lost its way.After just one year under Tucker’s leadership, it’s regainedits confidence, and with good reason. Sales have been rising for fifteen months, starting almost as soon as she walked in the door. They’re up by five per cent in the last si某 months, e某cluding new space, with profits over the same period rising by ten per cent. And the company claims to have attracted a million new customers.Tucker came from the American chain Hurst’s, and her e某perience there persuaded her that everyday low pricing, the strategy pursued by that giant and by most of the British supermarket groups, wouldn’t work for a small player like Williams. Its larger rivals could too easily undercut it.Instead, she decided to use a high-low strategy, which is generally known as loss-leading. The technique’s familiar: cut the price of twenty or so selected items each week. The radical part came in the implementation. Instead of making it a national campaign, which would allow Williams’s rivals to instantly follow its pricecuts, the company’s ‘best deals’, as they’re called, vary from town to town, and change every week. The company employs five thousand distributors in order that, every week, a third of all the people living in the catchment area of a Williams store receiveflyers through their doors, detailing these special offers. The price cuts are dramatic, like forty per cent off breakfast cereals, the same off bars of soap, fifty per cent off soft drinks, and so on. Indeed, many items are sold at below the cost to Williams.Shoppers seem to love it, as is evident from Williams’s sales. But it’s high risk: sales have to increase by enough to limit the impact on profits, and they have to be able to deliver the goods. That’s harder than it sounds. Some of the products on offer fly out of the door, selling as much in a week as they normally would in a year. Organising adequate stock levels for that, on different products around the country, is a nightmare of logistics. What makes all this feasible, apart from very good planning, is that Williams’s distribution system isn’t centralized, unlike some of the other supermarket chains.。

剑桥商务英语考试听力剑桥商务英语考试听力篇1Woman: OK. Now, if you think about the Chief Executive s problems for a moment...what doyou think he needs to tackle first?Man: There are so many problems! Something needs to be done about the workforce, becausesome departments employ staff without the necessary training. In the long term, of course,they need to develop the photocopiers themselves. But the priority must be to reverse the fallin revenue, even if it means cutting prices, in order to increase the sales volume. Unless they dothat, they ll go out of business very soon.Woman: And what about their advertising?Man: Well, they re using modern media, like the Internet, and targeting their advertising morethan they used to, for instance, by moving from magazine ads to direct mailshots tocompanies. But these have an old-fashioned feel to them; the layout and graphics don t seemto have changed for twenty years.Woman: Right. Now, let s go on to...剑桥商务英语考试听力篇2Man: They seem to miss a lot of opportunities. When they visit a customer to install or repair aphotocopier, it s their chance to look at all the equipment there and suggest how Trident couldsupply the company s needs better. Then there s their problem with spares, the Parts ServicesDepartment keeps stocks low, for financial reasons, but that means the engineers often can tget the parts they need for call-outs, and the customer has to wait.Woman: Now, what about communications within the company? I m sure you ll agree they renot as good as they could be. Why do you think that is?Man: Well, I was a bit surprised, because, in fact, middlemanagers hold regular meetings withtheir departments. But that s because they re given information by the top management aboutpolicy issues and plans, for instance, which they have to pass on. But I have to say that someof them don t seem to think their staff can have anything to say that s worth hearing. And, ofcourse, this creates ill feeling.剑桥商务英语考试听力篇3Man: Well, weak line managers are often a reason, but I can t find any evidence for that here.And even the recent changes, like the cut in bonuses, have been accepted fairly calmly. I think itreflects people s uncertainty about their long-term prospects with the company.Woman: What would you say about the sales staff? There s a lot about them in the casestudy.Man: They re doing the best they can in the circumstances. There s a system for helping themto develop their selling skills, and that s working. The way customers are allocated to eachsalesperson could be improved maybe, to reduce unnecessary travel. But they re gettingcontradictory signals about what they re supposed to be doing: just responding to enquiries,or going out looking for new business.Woman: Uh-huh. And what about service engineers: what s the main weakness in thatdepartment?剑桥商务英语考试听力篇4Woman: Ah, Gareth, do sit down.Man: Thank you.Woman: Now, presumably you ve considered this case study about Trident Appliances?Man: Yes.Woman: Good. Well, let s start with the present situation. Trident manufactures photocopiers,which they sell in bulk to retailers and large organisations. Now, why do you think theyrehaving trouble selling them?Man: It s strange, because there s a big demand for photocopiers, and Trident s arecompetitively priced. But the specifications just don t compare with what s expected these days.It s a shame, because they ve got plenty of technical expertise in their engineering supportteam.Woman: OK. Now, the company is owned by a large multinational. How do they see Trident?Man: Well, the group is largely in the mining sector, and Trident doesn t fit in with that, soyou d expect the parent company to want to sell it. Or alternatively to be active, say by helpingit to expand its markets. But really it seems quite content to take a hands-off approach, aslong as Trident is generating some income.Woman: Hmm... There s clearly poor morale among the employees. Why do you think that is?剑桥商务英语考试听力篇5Right, let s see where we ve gotten to. We ve agreed to recognise when staff have worked hardand achieved their goals. Sales need to have done reasonably well in their area ideally betterthan the forecasts while keeping within budget. And, if we feel a person is worth substantialinvestment, we can go with a five-per-cent pay rise, as well as offering a bonus in exceptionalcircumstances.The figures show quite clearly that we didn t reach the target we set last year. If anything, Ithink we ought to cut back on spending, at least for the next few months. If sales pick up inthe new year and we manage to add new clients to our base, maybe we can think about buyingmore estate and equipment then. If I may say so, we have to be realistic.。
浅谈BEC听力口语教学(一)
浅谈ＢＥＣ听力口语教学(一)摘要:在各种英语类通行证中，中国考生向来以高通过率而著称。
与此相比，中国的BEC考试通过率却显得有些尴尬。
经权威机构调查：对于中国考生而言，其主要原因是因为听力和口试不易通过。
本文主要结合BEC（中级）商务英语教学实践，有针对性地提出相关策略，以帮助考生顺利通过听力和口语考试。
关键词：BEC;存在问题;措施一、BEC商务英语的概念剑桥商务英语证书（BEC）考试是教育部考试中心和英国剑桥大学考试委员会合作举办的权威性考试。
目前分为（BEC1）、中（BEC2）、高（BEC3）三个级别。
这三个考试是针对英语为非母语国家的需求而设计的主要在经济迅速发展、国际交流日益增多的国家和地区实施，具有更广泛的适用性，因而在国际上受到普遍欢迎。
目前已有28个亚洲和欧洲国家或地区，包括一些经济发达国家已开始举办BEC考试。
该系列考试是一项水平考试，它根据商务工作的实际需要，从听、说、读、写四个方面对考生在商务和一般生活环境下使用英语的能力进行全面考查，对成绩及格者提供由英国剑桥大学考试委员会颁发的标准统一证书。
由于该证书的权威性，已成为在所有举办该考试的一百多个国家和地区求职的“通行证”。
二、我国考生通过率情况在各种英语类通行证中，中国考生向来以高通过率而著称。
与此相比，中国的BEC考试通过率却显得有些尴尬。
剑桥大学ESOL考试委员会发布的BEC成绩报告显示：中国考生的通过率明显低于其他非英语国家考生通过率。
2006年5月全球BEC平均通过率是43%，中国考区只有37%，而除中国以外的全球通过率为57—58%。
近几年来，中国BEC考试报名率以每年300%的速度疯狂飙升，中国考区的通过率却一直处于低迷徘徊阶段，严重拖累了世界的BEC通过率。
为什么中国BEC的通过率低于世界水平？BEC考试由写作、听力、阅读、口试四个部分组成，只有A、B、C三类为有效成绩。
如果有两个部分为D，那么总体成绩就是D，即为无效成绩。
BEC剑桥商务英语听力技巧
BEC剑桥商务英语听力技巧为了让大家更好的准备商务英语BEC考试，给大家整理bec 中级听力技巧,下面就和大家分享，欣赏一下吧。
1.BEC听力应试技巧Part 1 (Questions1-12)第一部分大多情况下是电话对话。
答题纸上分为3个部分，以表格、发票、日程安排、留言条等形式出现，每部分有4个空格，要求考生听录音填空(听两遍)。
考生拿到试卷后应抓紧时间将题目看一遍，根据文字信息，揣测填充题中可能要填什么词。
一般来说，这部分要填的内容是：公司名称、人名、号码(电话号码、定单号码等)、日期等，这一题主要是考考生的辨别词汇的能力。
在听第一遍时，考生要尽可能的记下有关的名称、地点、号码等内容，听第二遍时检查所填内容，填上漏掉的内容。
该部分的电话对话内容一般是：客户抱怨、道歉、询价、订座、订货、安排、计划等。
Part 2 (Questions 13-22)该部分分为两个部分，一般为两段独白。
考生必须抓紧时间弄懂供选择的单词的意思。
这些单词一般是有关职业、身份的，如：hotel manager, salesman, technician, travel agent, engineer, cook,tourist guide, money changer等;另外，这部分单词也可以表示功能、行为等，如：refusing, agreeing, making excuses, boringwork, an uncomfortable office, low pay, to order a meal, to book a room 等，所以，考生在听录音前，先快速阅读供选择的单词的意思，然后，在听录音时要特别抓住keywords，辩明独白所要表白的主要意思，再作出选择。
需要当心的是：有些单词听上去似乎是答案，但别忙着确定，一定要等听完该段独白的全部录音才能最后定答案。
Part 3 (Questions 23-30)该部分通常是两个人或更多人之间的对话，如：开会讨论、面试、一般业务会谈等;另外也可能不是对话，而是独白，如：业务报告、产品演示会的讲话，工作汇报等。
剑桥商务英语听说 哈密尔顿
剑桥商务英语听说哈密尔顿Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC) Listening and Speaking - HamiltonThe Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC) is a widely recognized exam targeted towards individuals who intend to use their English skills in a professional setting. The exam is aimed at three levels: BEC Preliminary, BEC Vantage, and BEC Higher. Each of these levels assesses the candidate’s skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In this essay, I will focus on the BEC Vantage level and review the BEC Vantage Listening and Speaking paper. Additionally, I will review the Hamilton case study that is typically used as a basis for this exam.The BEC Vantage Listening paper is divided into four parts and lasts approximately 45 minutes. The first part of the paper includes a dialogue between two speakers and four short multiple-choice questions. The second part of the paper includes three short monologues with five questions each. In the third part of the paper, the candidate listens to a longer monologue and then answers six multiple-choice questions. Finally, the fourth part of the paper includes a further monologue and four open-ended questions.The BEC Vantage Speaking paper lasts approximately 14 minutes and is divided into three parts. The first part of the paper focuses on introductions and general conversation, allowing the candidate to establish a rapport with the examiner. The second part of the paper is a collaborative task in which the candidate and the examiner discuss a specific topic, ranging from business trends to current events. Finally, the third part of the paper is an individualtask in which the candidate presents their opinion on a given topic.The Hamilton case study is a fictional company that is used as a basis for BEC Vantage Listening and Speaking papers. The case study provides candidates with the opportunity to engage in business-specific language, as well as an understanding of the practicalities and challenges of running a business. The Hamilton case study includes several key themes, including marketing, customer service, and finance.Marketing is a particularly important theme in the Hamilton case study, as it requires candidates to demonstrate their ability to understand consumer needs and develop a marketing strategy. For example, in the listening paper, candidates may be asked to listen to a dialogue in which the company’s marketing team discusses the launch of a new product. Candidates will then answer questions on the marketing strategy discussed in the dialogue.Customer service is also a critical theme, and candidates will be required to demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively with customers. For example, in the speaking paper, candidates may be asked to role-play a customer service scenario in which they must handle a complaint from a customer.Finally, finance is another vital theme of the Hamilton case study, as candidates must demonstrate their understanding of financial terminology and the ability to interpret financial data. For example, in the listening paper, candidates may be required to listen to a monologue in which a financial analyst discusses the company’s financial performance and answer questions based on theinformation provided.In conclusion, the BEC Vantage Listening and Speaking paper is a critical element of the Cambridge Business English Certificate, as it assesses candidates’ ability to communicate effectively in a professional context. The Hamilton case study provides candidates with an opportunity to engage in business-specific language, as well as an understanding of the practicalities and challenges of running a business. Through the BEC Vantage exam and Hamilton case study, candidates are equipped with the necessary English language skills to succeed in a professional environment.。

下面是店铺给大家整理的剑桥商务英语听力的相关知识，供大家参阅!剑桥商务英语听力篇1I'm afraid we really need to finish the project as soon as possible. If we don't keep to theschedule, the delay could lose us our external funding. Losing that could lead to variousproblems, including salaries not being paid on time. Don't forget as well that the budgetdepends on us finishing by the end of the summer. No, we need to keep to our original plansand keep that money coming in.As you can see, the figures speak for themselves—our model EXG surpassed all forecasts in itsfirst year. Because of our competitive pricing policy, it has been selling extremely well.However, we want to extend this trend and build on it. We now need to come up with acampaign to make sure we increase the number of models we sell abroad, not just on thedomestic market. Japan is our main target.剑桥商务英语听力篇2We're relying too heavily on past success, without thinking about where we go from here. Youcan't just reply on maintaining productivity. Prices of raw materials are rising, and ouroverheads are enormous—look at what we're spending on buildings alone. In this business,you have to run just to stay in the same place. We've got to constantly improve, and thatmeans getting more produced faster, and better.剑桥商务英语听力篇3Time equals money, and you just have to look at the amount of time we spend—well, waste—travelling from place to place torealise that this is costing us too much. We're duplicating alot of services and systems, which we wouldn't have to do if we streamlined our offices.Operating from one location instead of four would lead to greater control, considerablereduction in costs and increased efficiency. Staff would appreciate it, too.I think that there's a danger—we're over-diversified and, instead of looking at our productionprocesses and ways of automating them even further, what we should be doing is targeting ourmost successful lines and focusing on them, even if it means abandoning some lines altogether.What I'm talking about is specialisation—concentrate on what we know we do well and what weknow we will make money. And that'll bring down costs, too.剑桥商务英语听力篇4Sure, the relocation plan is attractive, but just look at the costs! And this just isn't a goodtime to be spending that sort of money. Why not make the most of what we've got, instead ofstarting from scratch? Keep our present location, strip it down, and completely redesign andredecorate our existing workspace.I think we could be far more efficient without such a hugeoutlay.Well, I feel that we're just not making enough profit to sustain the kind of growth we need.Obviously, production costs have increased, and I don't think we've taken that into accountnearly enough. Introducing a competitive pricing strategy wouldn't mean that we couldn't takeinflation into account, and we should certainly consider this before the end of the year.Otherwise, we'll find ourselves selling at below cost!剑桥商务英语听力篇5Woman: New Vision, Conference Department, Janet Edwards speaking.Man: Hello. This is Nick Brown from Business News. I hear you're running a rather specialconference in Newcastle.Woman: You mean our event on the tenth of October?Man: Yes. Can you tell me something about it, so I can mention it in our paper?Woman: Certainly. The name should give you a clue—we're calling it 'Innovations'. Not theusual 'Better Sales Techniques', etc.Man: That sounds very forward-looking. I assume it's about new developments in technology?Woman: We thought there were too many seminars on that. We're focusing on humanresources instead.Man: New ways of approaching it, I suppose. Interesting! So, who have you got to lead it?Woman: Well, this is a little different, too—Daniel Christie.Man: Is he the man from Cambridge Business School who's just written that book onincentive schemes?Woman: I believe teamwork is actually his field.Man: So, for example, the way people interact... Any other special features?Woman: We're planning some practical and very unusual workshops about motivation. I thinkthat'll cause a few surprises.Man: How 'unusual'?Woman: Come and see for yourself. I'll send you complementary ticket.Man: Thank you. I will.。
