Today most credit cards are issued by banks or other financial institutions in cooperation with Visa International or Master-Card International. The unique feature of credit cards is that they extend a line of credit to the cardholders. For the consumer, credit cards permit the purchase of goods and services even when the funds are insufficient. If there is a problem with the products or services you buy with your credit card, you have an opportunity to withhold payment by asking the credit card company to “charge back” to the retailer until the dispute is settled. It’s important to choose a credit card carefully because terms and conditions vary widely. Annual fees in America range from $15 to $75 a year, but some credit card companies charge no annual fees at all. If you don’t pay off your credit card transactions in full each month, look for the card with the lowest interest rate. Interest rates generally range from 12 to 18 percent, though it is possible to find cards with lower rates. However, a credit card can be your enemy because it is an invitation to purchase items you do not really need.Q18. What is the unique feature of credit cards?Q19. What’s the maximum annual fee for a credit card in America according to the passage?Q20. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?。

2021年商务英语考试BEC高级模拟试题

2021年商务英语考试BEC高级模拟试题(1)The Negotiating Table: You can negotiate virtually anything. Projects, resources, expectations and deadlines are all outcomes of negotiation. Some people negotiate deals for a living. Dr Herb Cohen is one of these professional talkers, called in by companies to negotiate on their behalf . He approaches the art of negotiation as a game because, as he is usually negotiating for somebody else, he says this helps him drain the emotional content from his conversation. He is working in a competitive field and needs to avoid being too adversarial. Whether he succeeds or not, it is important to him to make a good impression so that people will recommend him.The starting point for any deal, he believes, is to identify exactly what you want from each other. More often than not, one party will be trying to persuade the other round to their point of view. Negotiation requires two people at the end saying ‘yes”. This can be a problem because one of them usually begins by saying “no”. However, although this can make talks more difficult, this is often just a starting point in the negotiation game. Topmanagement may well reject the idea initially because it is the safer option but they would not be there if they were not interested.It is a misconception that skilled negotiators are smooth operators in smart suits. Dr Cohen says that one of his strategies is to dress down so that the other side can relate to you. Pitch your look to suit your customer. You do not need to make them feel better than you but, For example, dressing in a style that is not overtly expensive or successful will make you more approachable. People will generally feel more comfortable with somebody who appears to be like them rather than superior to them. They may not like you but they will feel they can trust you.Dr Cohen suggests that the best way to sell your proposal is by getting into the world of the other side. Ask questions rather than give answers and take an interest in what the other person is saying, even if you think what they are saying is silly. You do not need to become their best friends but being too clever will alienate them. A lot of deals are made on impressions. Do not rush what you are saying---put a few hesitations in , do not try to blindthem with your verbal dexterity. Also, you should repeat back to them what they have said to show you take them seriously.Inevitably some deals will not succeed. Generally the longer the negotiations go on, the better chance they have because people do not want to think their investment and energies have gone to waste. However , joint venture can mean joint risk and sometimes , if this becomes too great , neither party may be prepared to see the deal through . More common is a corporate culture clash between companies, which can put paid to any deal. Even having agreed a deal, things may not be tied up quickly because when the lawyers get involved, everything gets slowed down as they argue about small details.De Cohen thinks that children are the masters of negotiation. Their goals are totally selfish. They understand the decision-making process within families perfectly. If Mum refuses their request , they will troop along to Dad and pressure him. If al else fails, they will try the grandparents, using some emotional blackmail. They can also be very single-minded and have an inexhaustiblesupply of energy for the cause they are pursuing. So there are lesson to be learned from watching and listening to children. 1. Dr Cohen treats negotiation as a game in order to A put people at ease B remain detachedC be competitiveD impress rivals2. Many people say “no” to a suggestion in the beginning to A convince the other party of their point of view B show they are not really interested C indicate they wish to take the easy option D protect their company’s situation3. Dr Cohen says that when you are trying to negotiate you should A adapt your style to the people you are talking to B make the other side feel superior to you C dress in a way to make you feel comfortable. D try to make the other side like you4. According to Dr Cohen, understanding the other person will help you to A gain their friendship B speed up the negotiations C plan your next move. D convince them of your point of view5. Deals sometimes fail because A negotiations have gone on too long B the companies operate in different ways C one party risks more than the other. D the lawyers work too slowly6. Dr Cohen mentions children’s negotiation techniques to show that you should A be prepared to try every route B try not to make people feel guilty C be careful not to exhaust yourself D control the decision-making process.参考答案:1B 2D 3A 4D 5B 6A2021年商务英语考试BEC高级模拟试题(2)The Scientific Approach to RecruitmentWhen it (0) to selecting candidates through interview, more often than not the decision is made within the first five minutes of a meeting. Yet employers like to (21) themselves that they are being exceptionally thorough in their selection processes. In today’s competitive market place, the (22) of staff in many organizations is fundamental to the company’s success and, as a result ,recruiters use all means at their disposal to (23) the best in the field.One method in particular that has (24) in popularity is testing , either psychometric testing, which attempts to define psychological characteristics , or ability£aptitude testing (25) an organization with an extra way of establishing a candidate’s suitability for a role.

The answer to this problem is experience in interview techniques and strong definition of the elements of each position to be (29) as the whole recruitment process is based on few real certainties, the instinctive decisions that many employers make, based on a CT and the first five minutes of a meeting, are probably no less valid than any other tool employed in the (30) of recruitment.Example :A haveB decideC doD make0A B C D21.A suggest B convince C advise D believe22.A worth B credit C quality D distinction23.A secure B relies C attain D achieve24.A lifted B enlarged C expanded D risen25.A provides B offers C contributes D gives26.A lets B enables C agrees D admits27.

We were told to make a plan during the later stages of our education and continue with it through our working lives.(0)_____ some people still see careers in this way. However, to pursue a single option for life has always been unrealistic.Planning for a single career assumes that we set out with a full understanding of our likes and dislikes and the employment opportunities open to us. (9)____ For most people this degree of certainty about the future does not exist.Our initial choice of career path and employer is often based on inadequate knowledge and false perceptions. But with age and experience, we develop new interests and aptitudes and our priorities alter. The structure of the employment market and, indeed of employment itself, is subject to change as both new technologies and new worksystems are introduced (10) _____ We must face the uncertainties of a portfolio career.It is clear from the recent past that we cannot foresee the changes which will affect our working lives. The pace of change is accelerating , as a result of whichtraditional career plans will be of very limited use.

(12)______ We are likely to face periods as contract workers, self-employed freelances, consultants, temps or part-timers.Many employers encourage staff to write a personal development development (PDP) (13)_____ Although some people use it only to review the skills needed for their job, a PDP could be the nucleus of wider career plan –setting out alternative long-term learning needs and a plan of self-development.A report issued by the Institute of Employment Studies advises people to enhance their employability by moving from traditional technical skills towards the attainment ofa range of transferable skills. (14)_____ Instead, special schemes should be established to encourage people to examine their effectiveness and to consider a wider range of needs.0 A B C D E F G HA This dual effect means that the relationship between employers and workers has evolved to such and extent that we can no longer expect a long-term relationship with one employer.B.

This section totals 20 points, two points for each question.Passage OneWhat a lovely place 某ero某 is to work Kim Moloney, a client services e某ecutive, can’t say enough nice things about her employer. ‘It’s a very special environment,’ she says. ‘People describe 某ero某 as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long.’ It’s tempting to take Moloney’s comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when you’ve been working somewhere for only two years, as she has at 某ero某, everyone seems old and established. But there’s truth behind her enthusiasm.Take Carole Palmer, the group resources director. She joined 某ero某 in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. ‘某ero某has been good to me over the years,’ she says.‘It has supported me through qualifications … and last year I took part in the vice-president incumbent program.’ Human resources is taken seriously at 某ero某, Palmer says, and the company has apolicy of promoting from within (which would e某plain Moloney’s amazement at her colleagues’ longevity). The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who joined having already acquired a couple of years’ work e 某perience. She started as a project manager for 某ero某 Global Services before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to‘grow and maintain customer relationships’.Moloney is based at the head office in U某bridge. ‘It’s great in terms of working environment,’ she says. ‘We’ve just got a new provider in the canteen and … we have bra instorming rooms and breakout areas.’ Much of Moloney’s role is visiting clients, so she doesn’t have a permanent desk at head office. ‘I’m a hot-desker, which is good because you get to sit with different people in thehot-desk areas. And you’re given a place to store your things.’ Head office staff numbers between 1,200 and 1,500 people, Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets, research and development and manufacturing, means that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants. Perks include a final-salary pension scheme and various discount schemes. The reward and recognition scheme is a little different, and rather nice: ‘Each manager has a budget every year to recognize and reward staff,’ Palmer says. ‘It can be in the form of a meal for two, or a bottle of wine. It can be up to £1,000. There’s thereco gnition, and then there’s putting money behind it.’ Moloney, however, likes the non-cash rewards. ‘某ero某 takes care of all its staff but it also recognizes the people who put in the addedeffort,’ she says. ‘It offers once-in-a-lifetime incentive trips, an d recently I organized a sailing trip for my team.’The idea of working abroad with the company appeals to her, and she says that her career goal is to be part of the senior management team. Here’s another employee, it would seem, who is in it for the long haul.( )1.The journalist of this article thinks that .A. staff at 某ero某 are not telling the truth abut the company.B. 某ero某 offers great benefits to staff.C. 某ero某 is the best company in the world.D. 某ero某 has the best working environment.( )2.The company tends to find its new manager .A. only form graduatesB. on training coursesC. from e某isting staffD. from job markets( )3.What does the phrase “to take on” in the sentence “The company takes on o nly fifteen to twenty graduates each year and …” of the second paragraph mean? .A. To trainB. To employC. To interviewD. To maintain(A)( )4.As well as recognizing its staff through promotion, 某ero某 .A. gives cash bonusesB. gives unpaid leave to take trips of a lifetime.C. provides a number of perks.D. provides huge end-of-year bonuses.( )5.One common feature of 某ero某 staff is that they tend .A. to work hardB. to get promotedC. work longer hours each dayD. not to change employer更多商务英语高级相关试题推荐:1.2022高级商务英语段落匹配精选习题及答案2.2022商务英语考试中高级模拟测试题3.2022年上半年商务英语高级考试题及答案4.2022年上半年高级商务英语考前密押卷训练5.2022年BEC高级商务英语考试题套题演练6.2022年BEC高级商务英语难词拓展解析7.2022高级商务英语阅读理解精选习题及答案8.2022备考高级商务英语BEC《段落匹配》习题9.2022年高级商务英语考试完形填空备考练习10.2022年备考BEC商务英语高级真题及答案。

BEC高级模拟试题1

Text 1Reading 1 hourPART ONEQuestions 1 – 8●Look at the statements below and at the five reports about companies on the opposite pagefrom an article giving advice to self-employed consultants about negotiating fees for their services.●Which book (A, B, C, D or E) dose each statement 1-8 refer to ?●For each statement 1 – 8, make one letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet.●You will need to use some of these letters more than once.1.This company has been involved in diversifying its business act6ivities.2.Although this company is doing well, it has a number of internal difficulties to deal with3.This company has reduced the profits it makes on individual items4.One statistic is a less accurate guide to this company’s performance than another5.The conditions which have helped this company are likely to be less favourable in the future6.This company’s share price has been extremely volatile over the last twelve months7.This company is likely to be the subject of a takeover bid in the near future8.This company’s performance exemplifies a widely held beliefAChemical CompanyMasterson’s interim pre-tax profits growth of 20% was somewhat inflated as a result of the income received from the disposal of several of the company’s subsidiaries. The underlying 8% rise in operating profits is a more realistic gauge of the company’s true progress. However, Masterson’s impending merger with Bentley and Knight and its appointment of a new chief executive should mean that the company will be able to sustain growth for the foreseeable fut5ure. The share price has varied little during the course of the year and now stands at £6.75BHotel GroupDuring the past year the Bowden Hotel Group has acquired 77 new properties, thus doubling in size . last week the group reported pre-tax profits of £88 million in the first six months of the year, ahead of expectations and helped by a strong performance from its London-based hotels andnewly expanded US business. However. There is still some way to go. Integration of the new acquisitions is still not complete and, while the share price has risen recently, major problems with integration have yet to be solved.CHigh-tech CompanyThis time last year a share in Usertech was worth just over £1. six months ago it was worth £40. today it is priced at under £8 . if proof were need, here is an illustration of how much of a lottery the technology market can be. But some technology companies are fighting back and Usertech is one of them . What has renewed excitement in the company is the opening of its new American offices in Dallas and its ambitious plans to expand its user base in both North and Latin America.DBuilding CompanyRenton’s share price has risen gradually over the past year from £2.4 to £3.8 . The company has been successful in choosing prime location for its buildings and has benefited from the buoyant demand for housing. Whilst this demand is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year, investors are encouraged by the company’s decision to move into building supermarkets. Work has already begun on two sites in London, and the company is expected to sign a contract within the next month for building four large supermarkets in Scotland.EPottery ManufacturerMilton Dishes has been through a shake-up over the past year. The group, which has been cutting margins and improving marketing, may post a small profit this year. The many members of the Milton family, who between them own 58 per cent of the business, have been watching the share price rise steadily and several are looking to sell. Trade rival Ruskin has bought up just over 17 percent of the shares and could well be spurred into further action by the signs of a recovery at the firm.PART TWOQuestions9– 14●Read the text about career-planning services.●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)●Your Career Path Can Lead You AnywhereWe used to be advised to plan our careers. We were told to make a plan during the later stages of our education and continue with it through our working lives. (0)_____ some people still see careers in this way. However, to pursue a single option for life has always been unrealistic.Planning for a single career assumes that we set out with a full understanding of our likes and dislikes and the employment opportunities open to us. (9)____ For most people this degree of certainty about the future does not exist.Our initial choice of career path and employer is often based on inadequate knowledge and false perceptions. But with age and experience, we develop new interests and aptitudes and our priorities alter. The structure of the employment market and, indeed of employment itself, is subject to change as both new technologies and new work systems are introduced (10) _____ We must face the uncertainties of a portfolio career.It is clear from the recent past that we cannot foresee the changes which will affect our working lives. The pace of change is accelerating , as a result of which traditional career plans will be of very limited use. (11)_____ They will need updating to reflect changes in our own interests as well as in the external work environment. Flexible workers already account for about half the workforce. (12)______ We are likely to face periods as contract workers, self-employed freelances, consultants, temps or part-timers.Many employers encourage staff to write a personal development development (PDP) (13) Although some people use it only to review the skills needed for their job, a PDP could be the nucleus of wider career plan –setting out alternative long-term learning needs and a plan of self-development.A report issued by the Institute of Employment Studies advises people to enhance their employability by moving from traditional technical skills towards the attainment of a range of transferable skills. (14) Instead, special schemes should be established to encourage people to examine their effectiveness and to consider a wider range of needs.A This dual effect means that the relationship between employers and workers has evolved to such and extent that we can no longer expect a long-term relationship with one employer.B. It carries an implicit assumption that we ourselves, and the jobs we enter, will change little during our working lives.C. This growth suggests that a career plan should not be expressed only in terms of full-time employment but should make provision for the possibility of becoming one of the.D this is a summary of one’s personal learning needs and an action plan to meet them.E Consequently, they must now accommodate a number of objectives and enable us to prepare for each on a contingency basis.F However, it warns that employers often identify training needs through formal appraisals, which take too narrow a view of development.G . Such a freelance of consultant would be constantly in demand.H We were expected to work towards that one clear goal and to consider a career change as a bad thing.PART THREEQuestions 15– 20Read the following article on negotiating techniques and the question on the opposite page .For each question 15 – 20 , mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.The Negotiating Table:You can negotiate virtually anything. Projects, resources, expectations and deadlines are all outcomes of negotiation. Some people negotiate deals for a living. Dr Herb Cohen is one of these professional talkers, called in by companies to negotiate on their behalf . He approaches the art of negotiation as a game because, as he is usually negotiating for somebody else, he says this helps him drain the emotional content from his conversation. He is working in a competitive field and needs to avoid being too adversarial. Whether he succeeds or not, it is important to him to make a good impression so that people will recommend him.The starting point for any deal, he believes, is to identify exactly what you want from each other. More often than not, one party will be trying to persuade the other round to their point of view. Negotiation requires two people at the end saying ‘yes”. This can be a problem because one of them usually begins by saying “no”. However, although this can make talks more difficult, this is often just a starting point in the negotiation game. Top management may well reject the idea initially because it is the safer option but they would not be there if they were not interested.It is a misconception that skilled negotiators are smooth operators in smart suits. Dr Cohen says that one of his strategies is to dress down so that the other side can relate to you. Pitch your look to suit your customer. You do not need to make them feel better than you but, For example, dressing in a style that is not overtly expensive or successful will make you more approachable. People will generally feel more comfortable with somebody who appears to be like them rather than superior to them. They may not like you but they will feel they can trust you.Dr Cohen suggests that the best way to sell your proposal is by getting into the world of the other side. Ask questions rather than give answers and take an interest in what the other person is saying, even if you think what they are saying is silly. You do not need to become their best friends but being too clever will alienate them. A lot of deals are made on impressions. Do not rush what you are saying---put a few hesitations in , do not try to blind them with your verbal dexterity. Also, you should repeat back to them what they have said to show you take them seriously.Inevitably some deals will not succeed. Generally the longer the negotiations go on, the better chance they have because people do not want to think their investment and energies have gone to waste. However , joint venture can mean joint risk and sometimes , if this becomes too great , neither party may be prepared to see the deal through . More common is a corporate culture clash between companies, which can put paid to any deal. Even having agreed a deal, things may not be tied up quickly because when the lawyers get involved, everything gets slowed down as they argue about small details.De Cohen thinks that children are the masters of negotiation. Their goals are totally selfish. They understand the decision-making process within families perfectly. If Mum refuses their request , they will troop along to Dad and pressure him. If al else fails, they will try the grandparents, using some emotional blackmail. They can also be very single-minded and have an inexhaustible supply of energy for the cause they are pursuing. So there are lesson to be learned from watching and listening to children.15 Dr Cohen treats negotiation as a game in order toA put people at easeB remain detachedC be competitiveD impress rivals16 Many people say “no” to a suggestion in the beginning toA convince the other party of their point of viewB show they are not really interestedC indicate they wish to take the easy optionD protect their company’s situation17 Dr Cohen says that when you are trying to negotiate you shouldA adapt your style to the people you are talking toB make the other side feel superior to youC dress in a way to make you feel comfortable.D try to make the other side like you18 According to Dr Cohen, understanding the other person will help you toA gain their friendshipB speed up the negotiationsC plan your next move.D convince them of your point of view19 Deals sometimes fail becauseA negotiations have gone on too longB the companies operate in different waysC one party risks more than the other.D the lawyers work too slowly20 Dr Cohen mentions children’s negotiation techniques to show that you shouldA be prepared to try every routeB try not to make people feel guiltyC be careful not to exhaust yourselfD control the decision-making process.PART FOURQuestions 21 -30●Read the article below about the methods some companies are now using for recruitment.●Choose the correct word to fill each gap from (A, B, C or D) on the opposite page.●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)The Scientific Approach to RecruitmentWhen it (0) to selecting candidates through interview, more often than not the decision is made within the first five minutes of a meeting. Yet employers like to (21) themselves that theyare being exceptionally thorough in their selection processes. In today’s competitive market place, the (22) of staff in many organizations is fundamental to the company’s success and, as a result , recruiters use all means at their disposal to (23) the best in the field.One method in particular that has (24) in popularity is testing , either psychometric testing, which attempts to define psychological characteristics , or abilit y£aptitude testing (25) an organization with an extra way of establishing a candidate’s suitability for a role. It (26) companies to add value by identifying key elements of a position and then testing candidates to ascertain their ability against those identified elements.The employment of psychometric or ability testing as one (27) of the recruitment process may have some merit, but in reality there is no real (28), scientific or otherwise, of the potential future performance of any individual. The answer to this problem is experience in interview techniques and strong definition of the elements of each position to be (29) as the whole recruitment process is based on few real certainties, the instinctive decisions that many employers make, based on a CT and the first five minutes of a meeting, are probably no less valid than any21.A suggest B convince C advise D believe22.A worth B credit C quality D distinction23.A secure B relies C attain D achieve24.A lifted B enlarged C expanded D risen25.A provides B offers C contributes D gives26.A lets B enables C agrees D admits27. A portion B member C share D component28. A extent B size C amount D measure29.A occupied B met C filled D appointed30 A business B topic C point D affairQuestions 31 -40PART FIVEQuestions31-40●Read the article below about a very expensive new perfume. .●For each question 31-40, write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet . There is an example at the beginning, (0)Sweet smell of excess-for just £47.874 a bottle The marketing says it is the “ ultimate symbol of indulgence and truly impeccable taste”. Anew scent, named V1, has (0) launched for Christmas-retailing at just £47.874 . The makers are proudly promoting it (31) ,the “ world’s most expensive perfume” and are confident of selling the limited edition of 173 bottles-(32) it should be exactly 173 bottles is not made clear in the publicity for the product.Although carefully priced at just under the £50.000 mark, this perfume is clearly (33) something for anyone who considers £30 too much to pay for a bottle of eau-de-toilette. Those (34) are potential customers will certainly be reassured to learn that a case covered in rubies and diamonds is included free (35) charge. Purchasers are assured of further savings, with unlimited scent refills guaranteed indefinitely- at no extra cost.The fragrance is the idea of Arfaq Hussain, a 27-year-old clothes designer who first made a name (36) himself with an air-conditioned jacket he was asked to make by the singer Michael Jackson (37) far, Mr Jackson is the only person to (38) placed an order- he wants two, according to Mr Hussain.Mr Hussain is unconcerned at having no previous experience of perfumery . “It’s so (39) more than a perfume ---- it’s a piece of jewellery, too. ““ explained Mr Hussain. He attempted to describe the £47.874 sensation. “ it is delicate , fragrant and quite unique. When you open the lid, it takes you totally away. It’s just (40) being surrounded by thousands of wild flowers and roses.PART SIXQuestions41 - 52●Read the text below about team-based pay●In most of the lines 41 - 52 there is one extra word. It is either grammatically incorrect ofdoes not fit in with the sense of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.●If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.●If there is an extra word in the line ,write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS on yourAnswer Sheet .●The exercise begins with two examples, (0) and (00).Team-Based Pay0 Team-based pay schemes that have been catching the eye of modern employers.00 Supporters say that they encourage group endeavour and improve 41 organizational performance. But salespeople, typically the most self-motivated42 of workers, they have traditionally been rewarded according to individual43 performance. So are team-based schemes suitable ? The key issue is44 whether team-based pay is more being in line with the organization’s objectives45 than pay which based on individual achievement. Introducing a team pay46 scheme can be complex. The biggest problem is for defining the team in the first47 place. Another is that team pay schemes won’t work if the actionsOf one48 individual make no impact on those of another. You should need a true team.49 like a football team. Where all the members are interdependent. When sales staff50 can be less receptive to team pay schemes because personal motivation can51 be an important boost to performance What they need is their encouragement52 to perceive that the wider term of the company overall : production, administration and dispatch all affect each other.Writing 1 hour 10 minutesPart oneQuestion 1●The graphs below show the performance of a European country’s manufacturing and agriculturalSectors in terms of exports and imports between 1991 and 2001.●Using the information from the graphs, write a short report describing the general movements in exports, imports and the resulting balance of trade●Write 120-140 wordsPart two:Write an answer to ONE of the questions 2-4 in this part.

The cherrier are then dropped into huge containers of water ,in which they are washed clean,and look fresh and pretty when they are placed into plastic boxes which come along the belt one after another . All this work is finished within three minutes.In this way two orchard workers are able to fulfil the harvesting work of a cherry orchard within two days which was done by over one hundred workers for two weeks.Another new machine that picks tomatoes has just been invented .First it cuts the vines below the soil .Then both the vines and the fruit are pulled into the machine which separates the tomatoes from the vines and finally returns the vines to the field .It is believed that it will soon be possible for powerful wind machines to blow oranges off trees .New machines that are now being tested will pick apples,peaches,pears and strawberries.

高级商务英语段落匹配模试题及答案(1)1. This company has been involved in diversifying its business activities.2. Although this company is doing well, it has a number of internal difficu lties to deal with3. This company has reduced the profits it makes on individual items4. One statistic is a less accurate guide to this company’s performance th an another5. The conditions which have helped this company are likely to be less favo urable in the future6. This company’s share price has been extremely volatile over the last tw elve months7. This company is likely to be the subject of a takeover bid in the near f uture8. This company’s performance exemplifies a widely held beliefA Chemical CompanyMasterson’s interim pre-tax profits growth of 20% was somewhat inflated as a result of the income received from the disposal of several of the company’s subsidiaries. The underlying 8% rise in operating profits is a more realistic g auge of the company’s true progress. However, Masterson’s impending merger wi th Bentley and Knight and its appointment of a new chief executive should mean that the company will be able to sustain growth for the foreseeable fut5ure. Th e share price has varied little during the course of the year and now stands at £ 6.75B Hotel GroupDuring the past year the Bowden Hotel Group has acquired 77 new properties, thus doubling in size . last week the group reported pre-tax profits of £ 88 million in the first six months of the year, ahead of expectations and helped by a strong performance from its London-based hotels and newly expanded US busin ess. However. There is still some way to go. Integration of the new acquisition s is still not complete and, while the share price has risen recently, major pr oblems with integration have yet to be solved.C High-tech CompanyThis time last year a share in Usertech was worth just over £ 1. six month s ago it was worth £ 40. today it is priced at under £ 8 . if proof were need, here is an illustration of how much of a lottery the technology market can be. But some technology companies are fighting back and Usertech is one of them . What has renewed excitement in the company is the opening of its new American o ffices in Dallas and its ambitious plans to expand its user base in both North and Latin America.D Building CompanyRenton’s share price has risen gradually over the past year from £2.4 to £ 3.8 . The company has been successful in choosing prime location for its bui ldings and has benefited from the buoyant demand for housing. Whilst this deman d is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year, investors are encoura ged by the company’s decision to move into building supermarkets. Work has alr eady begun on two sites in London, and the company is expected to sign a contra ct within the next month for building four large supermarkets in Scotland.E Pottery ManufacturerMilton Dishes has been through a shake-up over the past year. The group, wh ich has been cutting margins and improving marketing, may post a small profit t his year. The many members of the Milton family, who between them own 58 per ce nt of the business, have been watching the share price rise steadily and severa l are looking to sell. Trade rival Ruskin has bought up just over 17 percent of the shares and could well be spurred into further action by the signs of a rec overy at the firm.高级商务英语段落匹配模试题及答案(1) 来源:考试吧2018-02-05 17:36:53 【考试吧:中国教育培训第一门户】模拟考场考试吧为大家整理了“2018年高级商务英语段落匹配模试题及答案”助大家备战商务英语考试。

Once again, Id forgotten to refrigerate it. Dont worry, a friend said, I can chill it for you fight away.Five minutes later she emerged from the kitchen with the wine perfectly cooled. Asked to reveal her secret, she said, Easy. I poured the wine in a plastic bag and then dipped it in ice water. After a few minutes the winewas cold. The hard part was getting it back into bottle.I couldnt find a funnel (漏斗), so I made a cone with wa* paper.My guests applauded. How wonderful if we could all be that clever, one remarked.A decade of research has convinced me we can. What separates the average person from Edison, Picasso or even Shakespeare isnt creative capacity--its the ability to use that capacity by encouraging creative impulses and then acting upon them. Most of us seldom achieve our creative potential. I think I know why, and I can help unlock the reservoir of ideas hiding within every one of us.One puzzle Ive watched students deal with is retrieving a Ping-Pong ball that has fallen to the bottom of a sealed, vertical drainpipe. The tools that they can use are either too short to reach the ball or too wide to fit into the pipe, which is also too narrow to reach into by hand. At last some students make the connection: drainpipe= water=floating. They pour water down the hole, and the ball floats to the top.This and many other e*periments suggest concreteways of increasing creativity in all of us. Here are the best techniques.Capture the fleeting. A good idea is like a rabbit. It runs by so fast that sometimes you see only its ears or tail. To capture it, you must be ready. Creative people are always ready to act, and that may ha the only difference between us and them.Poet Amy Lowell wrote of the urgency with which she captured new ideas, Whatever 1 am doi。

Reading the text and choose the right answerPassage OneScience and new technology have made such rapid progress in agriculture that modern machines can do almost all farm work., and therefore have made it possible for farmers to produce more food on the same amount of land .When people live in plenty,vegetables and fruits are becoming more and morepopular .As a result more and more vegetables and fruits are in greater need.Can orchard workers harvest fruits with machines as farmers to crops?Yes, they can.Scientists have already invented many different fruit-harvesting machines. Now, let’s take cherry-piching machine for example .The cherry-picking machine first shakes a cherry tree,then catches cherries in heavy sheets and pushes the fruit along belts . The cherrier are then dropped into huge containers of water ,in which they are washed clean,and look fresh and pretty when they are placed into plastic boxes which come along the belt one after another . All this work is finished within three minutes.In this way two orchard workers are able to fulfil the harvesting work of a cherry orchard within two days which was done by over one hundred workers for two weeks.Another new machine that picks tomatoes has just been invented .First it cuts the vines below the soil .Then both the vines and the fruit are pulled into the machine which separates the tomatoes from the vines and finally returns the vines to the field .It is believed that it will soon be possible for powerful wind machines to blow oranges off trees .New machines that are now being tested will pick apples,peaches,pears and strawberries.
