BEC第三辑test3真题(试题仅阅读部分)及参考答案
这是我根据文库里的一份资料单独整理出来的BEC第三辑TEST3,可能又不完整及缺漏之处,望大家能够理解。
谢谢! PART 11 This businessman has successfully targeted a different group of consumers.2 With careful forward planning, this businessman is helping the company survive a difficult period.3 The company is now more open to change because of this businessman's way of thinking.4 This businessman has made and implemented certain decisions despite opposition to them.5 This businessman has achieved some success by misleading people about his intentions.6 The abilities of this businessman were previously doubted by the company that employs him.7 This businessman is admired for his ability to manage a number of business interests.'Businessman of the Year' AwardA :James King: Chief Executive of Fentons FinanceKing was nominated for the quality of his leadership, with the judges claiming that the Fentons Finance boss is almost revered by his team. He is credited with reinventing Fentons Finance - revitalising its culture of inflexibility, removing outdated pre-merger barriers and playing a brilliant tactical game. He led everyone to believe he was opposed to large mergers and then jumped on the Westcombe Bank opportunity at just the right moment. History will be the judge, but for now the markets consider King to be a star.B Keith Nash: Chief Executive of Hamley's SupermarketsNash took over as CEO when Hamley's systems and distribution were out of date and the brand badly needed freshening up. He began refocusing the brand at the higher quality end of the food market and launched several own-brand initiatives for the health conscious. As a result, the share price has gone up nearly 80 per cent. This should be extremely satisfying for Nash, who had left the retailer in 1986, disappointed after failing to secure the top job.C Jorge Marquez: Chairman of the Kenwick GroupMarquez was a popular choice for his achievements at Kenwick. The judges say he has been courageous in pushing through the appointment of controversial or inexperienced chief executives to companies within the group, and then sponsoring them as they transformed their businesses. He operates as a 'virtual' chairman, without a permanent office in any one company. He phones his CEOs regularly, and several of them have acknowledged the vital contribution he makes to their effectiveness. Everyone is impressed at how he also finds the time to be chairman of two other large companies.D Richard Jenkins: Finance Director of Centron AdvertisingLabouring in the shadow of a high-profile boss can sometimes draw attention away from the finance director, and the judges considered it was high time Jenkins got that attention. The CEO may be the public face of Centron, but Jenkins is the one who makes it run smoothly. Behind the scenes, he is constantly demonstrating that budgets and forecasts are what is needed to make a company successful, particularly now that the advertising market has been hit by recession. It is largely thanks to him that Centron is in much better shape than its rivals.Part 2(这个可能分段有错误)Setting up an appraisal schemeAppraisals can be a wonderful opportunity for your staff to focus on their jobs and make plans to develop their unused potential. (0) ..........So, if you have decided that an appraisal scheme should be set up in your company, you need to establish some formal procedures and make some decisions before you begin. Even if your company already has a scheme, you need to consider what you want to achieve and how you are going to do this.First of all, you need to decide on your key objectives and the real purpose of your scheme.(8).............A scheme should never be introduced at a time of redundancies, or simply for profit or competitive edge, because this will create fear and alienate staff. The next step is to decide how the scheme can most successfully be managed. It is essential that all senior staff are committed to the process and willing to make a positive contribution.The person given responsibility for designing the scheme and the appraisal forms needs to have knowledge of all roles within the organisation. He or she must also be aware of employees' potential needs. (9).............It should be someone who is trusted and whom staff will turn to if they are concerned about their appointed appraiser or the appraisal interview. The design of the scheme should indicate who will be appraising whom. This needs great tact and sensitivity. First, remember that no manager can effectively appraise more than seven or eight people. It is equally important to remember that, if significant numbers of staff are appraised by someone they dislike, or by a person whose values they do not share, the success of your scheme may be threatened.(10) ............. So bear this in mind from the beginning and, if necessary, establish anappeals procedure.Having decided on your policy and who will appraise which members of staff, you need to communicate this in the simplest possible way. Avoid lengthy documents - few people will read them. (11).............Most organisations choose a person's line manager to be the appraiser. This can be seen as an opportunity or a threat, so be ready to consider alternatives if necessary.Once you have established the appraisal process, make sure that appraisal interviews take place at a convenient time, and ideally on neutral ground. It should be borne in mind that some appraisals may involve the disclosure of confidential information. (12) .............These will show the decisions that were taken during the interview and will also indicate any new performance targets that have been agreed.A It is important to select a manager who can deal effectively with any suspicions staff may have about appraisals.B Such a measure can also reduce insecurity and unite staff in recognising the positive elements of appraisal.C Having even one staff member in such a position may affect how others respond to the process.D Ideally, this should be to provide a supportive framework that aids staff development.E Simply make sure that staff know who will appraise them and why, and what form the interview will take.F It is therefore important to decide who will have access to written records of the appraisal.G They can also be a means of getting the best out of staff, both as individuals, and as team members.PART 3(这个可能分段也有错误)SHEER GENIUS - OR A WASTE OF TIME?Encourage your original thinkers and live with their strange habits, says Alan Worthin. If one of your research staff announced that he had worked out a way to propel a vehicle on a cushion of air, would you tell him to concentrate on something practical, or suggest taking it further? If a member of your development team asked if she could come in late because she had her best ideas at 3 am would you insist that she is in the office at 9 am like everyone else?Current business wisdom is that companies need creative, innovative people to beat competitors. The reality is that companies have always needed new ideas to survive and progress, but in the past they weren't particularly good at encouraging the people who produced them.Original thinkers don't always fit easily into the framework of an organisation. However, the advice from managing director, John Serrano is, 'Get rid of the dull people and encourage the unusual ones'. Essentially, he believes that companies need to learn how to manage their original thinkers in order to ensure that the business profits from their contribution. He also says, 'Original thinkers often find it difficult to drive change within the organisation, so they resign, feeling angry and disappointed. It is essential to avoid this.''You can't recognise original thinkers by the way they look,' says Ian Freeman. An apparently ordinary exterior can conceal a very creative thinker.' His consultancy, IBT Personnel, has devised a structured way to identify original thinkers. 'We define employees as champions, free-wheelers, bystanders and weak links, and most original thinkers come into the category of free-wheelers. They may miss deadlines if they become involved in something more interesting. They are passionate and highly motivated but have li ttle or no understanding of business directions and systems.'Headhunter George Solomon also thinks original thinkers have their disadvantages. 'They may have a bad influence within an organisation, especially given the current management trend for working in teams. The original thinkers themselves may be unaware of any problem, but having them around can be disruptive to colleagues. who have to be allowed to point out when they are being driven crazy by the original thinkers' behaviour.' Yet, in his opinion, the 'dream team' in any creative organisation consists of a balanced mixture of original thinkers and more practical, .realistic people.So, having identified your original thinkers, how do you handle them? One well-known computer games company has a very inventive approach. 'We encourage our games designers by creating an informal working environment,' says director Lorna Marsh. 'A company cannot punish risk-takers if it wants to encourage creativity. Management has to provide support, coaching and advice - and take the risk that new ideas may not work. Our people have flexible working hours and often make no clear distinction between their jobs and their home lives.'Original thinkers may fit into the culture of 21st century organisations, but more traditionalorganisations may have to change their approach. Business psychologist Jean Row believes that the first step is to check that original thinkers are worth the effort. 'Are the benefits they bring worth the confusion they cause? If so, give them what they want, allow plenty of space, but set clear limits. Give them extremely demanding targets. If they fail to meet them, then the game is up.But if they succeed, your organisation stands only to gain.'13 It is important for a company to encourage original thinkers because_____A this allows it to promote innovative products.B this enables it to stay ahead of its rivals.C they are very flexible about their working hours.D their talents are ideally suited to the market.14 John Serrano thinks that original thinkers should be_____A helped to develop better people management skills.B asked to manage change within the organisation.C supported so they can perform well for the company.D encouraged to follow company procedures.15 What does Ian Freeman say about original thinkers?A They are unenthusiastic and poorly motivated.B Their work standards are impossibly high.C Their abilities are hard to recognise.D They lack awareness of commercial processes.16 What problems can be observed when there are original thinkers in the workforce?A They may have a negative effect on other workers.B They dislike the concept of teamwork.C They rush tasks through to completion.D They cannot work with less creative colleagues.17 In what way is the games company's approach to original thinkers special?A It allows them to work from home whenever they wish.B It uses different forms of disciplinary action for them.C It promotes a relaxed atmosphere in the workplace.D It encourages them to reduce the risks that they take.18 A traditional organisation wishing to employ original thinkers needs to _____A provide them with projects they are interested in.B assess whether their contribution makes up for any problems.C have a flexible approach if goals are not always achieved.D be prepared to handle any negative feedback from colleagues.PART 4Who Benefits Most from Company Training?According to recent research, the better educated and the higher up the socio.economic scale you are, the more likely you are to be offered workplace training. And, incidentally, the more likely you are to then turn (19) the offer, pleading family and personal commitments or (20) of work. Less qualified staff, on the other hand, are offered fewer training opportunities, but are more eager to (21) them up. In fact, people with few or no educational qualifications are three times morelikely to accept training when it is offered.In the majority of companies, more (22) are allocated to management training than to other areas. Employers (23) their better qualified staff as more important to the business, so they pay them accordingly and invest more in them in (24) of training. This is (25) by the fact that organisations are dependent on properly (26) managers making the right decisions. But this (27) may mean that companies are (28) other parts of the workforce down.The researchers found a growing demand for training among the lower-skilled.Unfortunately this demand is not being (29)by employers, even though there are strong indications that companies would benefit from doing so. They also discovered that, despite the substantial (30) between the training provided for managers and that offered to other staff, there was still widespread endorsement of training.For the purposes of the research, training was defined as any (31) of planned instruction or tuition provided by an employer with the aim of helping employees do their work better. It therefore included a wide variety of approaches. On-the-job and classroom training (32) to be used equally by employers. But learning on the job, which involved observing a certain procedure and then practising it, was easily the most popular method for all categories of employee. While many felt that learning from colleagues was best,very few (33) the internet as an effective way to train.19 A back B over C down D off20 A force B pressure C strain D load21 A pick B keep C take D put22 A means B reserves C finances D resources23 A imagine B regard C suppose D know24 A requirements B specifications C states D terms25 A allowed B approved C justified D accepted26 A understanding B intelligent C informed D knowledgeable27 A stress B emphasis C weight D strength28 A letting B cutting C breaking D setting29 A reached B achieved C gained D met30 A space B gap C hole D room31 A frame B structure C form D order32 A showed B appeared C demonstrated D presented33 A rated B thought C marked D believedPART 5 没有找到答案PART 1 答案《‘Businessman of the Year' Award》年度企业家奖。

Unit 2NegotiationsLead-inTask 1Suggested AnswersTask 2Key1. 订货2. 发盘3. 还盘4. 询价5. 购货合同6. 销售确认书Reading AStarting PointTask 1Translation主要的个人及团队谈判风格在过去几十年里,商品交易会一直被公认为是最有效的营销手段之一。
但近几年情况发生了变化:出于安全和成本的考虑,不少商家都在缩减参展次数,转而将目光投向互联网。
谈判员及其谈判团队必须选择一种能最大限度服务于其谈判目标的谈判风格,在确保对手不会放弃此次谈判的前提下,从对手那儿获取最大的让步。
然而,同一种谈判风格并不适用于所有场合,而每一次谈判也并不是所有风格都适用。
谈判员必须要懂得变通,能够根据情况的变化调整谈判风格。
对自身进行真实而全面的评估,有利于谈判人员选择最适用的谈判风格。
主要的个人谈判风格包括:进攻型、顺从型、被动型、胁迫型、技巧型、财务型、顽固型、实务型及傲慢型。
以被动型为例。
在谈判桌上,被动型的谈判人员并非如他们表面所展示的那样。
这种风格往往被发展中的、合同律法尚未完善的经济体所运用。
被动型谈判员往往会使对方误以为双方已达成共识,故而使对方将一切底牌亮到谈判桌上。
而被动的一方并不亮牌,只是频频点头,使对方认为双方已达成共识。
但点头仅仅表示他们听明白了。
一旦一切底牌亮出,先前被动的一方便开始挑选对自己有利的条款,而就那些他们未能接受的条款开始展开主动积极、甚至是攻势凶猛的谈判。
顽固型是谈判员偏好的另一种风格。
某些谈判员会利用固执掩盖他们真正的动机,分散对手的注意力。
另一种方式是在某些原本被视为无谈判余地的点上进行让步。
这种做法有利于谈判员以回报为理由,从对手那边获取更多重大的让步。
主要的团队谈判风格包括:舆论统一型、牛仔型、逐个击破型和软硬兼施型。
尽管“牛仔”一词带有强烈的个人主义色彩,貌似不大适用于商务领域,在国际商务谈判中,牛仔型的谈判风格就意味着由“路线总指挥”(通常都是由首席谈判员来担任)整合反对意见,并使对方按首席谈判员指定的方向前进。
BEC中级真题第三辑阅读及答案解析版
B 1 It would be advisable for Flacks to consult customers before developing a new product.D 2 Producing goods for specialist markets might increase Flacks' profits.C 3 Flacks may need to change the function of one of its facilities.A 4 Flacks should utilise its current expertise to enter a different market.B 5 Flacks may need to consider closing its current production facility.C 6 Flacks should develop the connections it has established with leading retailers.A 7 Expanding the product range would not be a problem for the workforce.Flacks is a UK-based company that produces fashion accessories for women. How can it continue to grow its business?A Susan FalmerFaced with a shrinking market, cheap imports and competitive pricing, Flacks will have to work hard to increase its margins. They need to move into a more promising market, one where demand is growing and where the company can exploit existing skills and contacts. They could think about brand extension - this would not be a giant leap and the sales force would take it in its stride. Also, they wouldn't need to re-equip their factory and could use non-UK sourcing if facilities here are in short supply.B Mesut GuzelThey have the fundamentals of a survival strategy in a market where outsourced manufacture and brand differentiation hold the key to success. I think they should initially locate some of their production in another country, where manufacturing quality tends to be better and it is easier to meet changing customer demands. But they should also regularly monitor production in Britain and think about outsourcing all this work abroad at some point if they need it done faster. The company should continue to work on innovative products, and thorough market research will help to ensure any new ideas are well received.C Gary WilmotIn order to beat their rivals in a highly competitive market, Flacks should ensure their products are attractive and build on their relationships with the big stores rather than trying to go it alone and market directly. They should also consider refocusing production by using their UK factory for high-specification products. They could eventually build more production overseas in a cycle of continuous development.D Michal KaminskiThe demand for fashion accessories is relatively flat and the company should consider exploiting niche markets to improve its margins. But even within these, Flacks must distinguish its goods from those of its rivals in terms of quality, performance and design. Innovative sales, marketing and PR are vital to exploit these niche products. One competitive advantage that Flacks does have is production times. Many retail chains now have two-tier supply chains and Flacks could focus on top-up orders. They might also investigate other sales channels such as mail order.这篇文章是关于一个女性时尚饰品公司——Flacks的发展战略问题,四个专家给出了自己的建议。

bec第四辑口语答案剑桥BEC真题集第四辑(中级)口语修正版答案导读:就爱阅读网友为您分享以下“剑桥BEC真题集第四辑(中级)口语修正版答案”资讯,希望对您有所帮助,感谢您对的支持!剑桥BEC真题集第四辑(中级)口语修正版答案What is important whenPlanning a presentation?AudienceEquipmentneededFirstly,You need to know who is going to be the target audience. Whether the audience know anything about the topic of your presentation, What they are interested in, and Why they come to your presentation. Once you have found out something about the target audience, you need to keep in mind their interests and needs so as to make your presentation interesting and meaningful for the targetaudience.Secondly, you need to decide what kind of equipment will be needed for the presentation, e.g. over-head projector; clear transparencies; computer; microphone, acoustic for the venue where the presentation will take place.Also,You need to make sure that the equipment needed will be available on the day when the presentation will take place. what’s more, you need to check that all the equipment is in good condition and works well.What is important when selecting an interpreter for a meeting with foreign clientsExperienceReliabilityFirstly,you need to select an interpreter who is experienced in interpreting for such meetings, the interpreter should have a wide knowledge about business management and familiar with the special terms and jargons for commercial negotiations, finance, law, etc. in addition, a background knowledge about the target country is also important too. Secondly,the interpreter for a meeting with foreign clients should be reliable in the following aspects: being punctual for the meetings,keeping information learned at themeetings confidential and interpreting accurately what is being discussedWhat is important when introducing a new product range onto the marketTimingadvance publicityFirstly ,the introduction should be made at an appropriate time, i.e. when the market is matured for having this new product range, in other words, there will be prospective customers to buy the products.If there are any competitors who are planning to introduce similar products onto the market, then it is necessarythat the introduction should be made ahead of their introduction so as to grab as much market share as possible. Secondly, advance publicity is important in that it will pave the way for the introduction, i.e. to make it known to the general public. There are different ways to implement advance publicity. -- to have a news conference to declare the introduction --to advertise on TV/radio, in newspaper/magazines--to deliver samples of the new product (delivery can be made in the streets, in supermarkets, to people’s homes etc.)What is important when aiming to improve career prospects (职业规划)?When aiming to improve career prospects, I would take three factors into account, a good reading habit, a good command of foreign languages, a further education and organic frame of the worldTo start with, a good reading habit can enrich your knowledge. When you are reading business articles, the latest business events will give you a clue of what to do on your own opinions.Secondly, foreign language learning is becoming increasingly (有意识的替换more and more)popular in companies because itguarantees effective communication with overseas business partners.Thirdly, further education helps you to step forward. With more training, your proficiency will be improved. Last but not least, an organic knowledge system also plays an important part in the career development. A broadened horizon(开阔眼界) would enhance your professional skills.What is important when aiming to improve career prospects?Reading business articlesLearning a foreign languageTrainingFirstly, reading business articles is very important when trying to improve career prospects. This is a good way for you to keep up with the latest development in related field which may give you a clue of what to do next.Secondly, learning a foreign language is also important. For instance if you are good at speaking English ,that would add weight to the improvement of career prospects since the globalization economy and the wide-spread international corporation all needs the bridge of a common language ,and English is one of the most widely used languages.Thirdly, training is another factor to consider. By doing so , you get access to a range of skills to meet different sorts of needs from different jobs.What is important when deciding how to transport goods? DestinationSpeeddelivery and loading of the goodspriceWhen you are deciding how to transport goods, the destination of the delivery is the prime element to be consideredFor the sake of (为了) convenience, various means of transportation should be adopted with regard to different distance of the delivery.Furthermore, we can not overlook speed(论点2). A more prompt delivery means a faster turnover(此处意为流通量,注意它的其他两种意思:营业额及turnover rate员工的离职率).On the other hand, delivery and loading of the goods should not be neglected. If the goods are not taken care of, there could be damages either in transit or during the loading and unloading process or by other reasons. If the percentage of the damaged portion is too high and the goods are in a bad condition, thecompany can suffer from a huge loss.And now it comes to the last point: price. Other things being equal, as long as the transport company can handle the items properly(可以用专业术语“野蛮装卸”rough handling 表示), we would definitely choose the one that grants us thebest offer.What is important when purchasing new machinery?the level of automationthe level of automationqualitysafetyfirstly, When purchasing new machinery for production line(生产线), the level of automation should be considered first. Just imagine how much labor it will save if the whole process is computerized and fully automatic, that is exactly the reason why we buy new machineries: to save labor and raise efficiency.Secondly,, we should be aware of the maintenance requirement of the machineries we bought. It should be stated crystal clear in the payment termswhether it is the responsibility of the buyer or the seller to get the maintenance covered(意为“负责”). Furthermore, quality should be viewed before the purchaseFinally, if I were in charge of the purchase, my interest will be towards safety. The visual of some worker getting caught in the blade(刀片)of the machinery is horrifying. If we don’t take this seriously, this image will not be a hypotheticalcasewhat is important when selecting a retail sales assistant?previous experiencesappearancesome basic skills and qualitiesWhen selecting a retail sales assistant, several factors should be taken into consideration. Firstly, I think if the candidate has some previous experiences, he or she may get a priority or privilege(优先权,特权)for the position, because as many other employers, I attach great importance to it for that matter.Secondly, I would pay attention to the personal appearances of the applicants. A good appearance can make the publicity of the company better and easier, and the clients and customers will have deep impression of a decent, neatly dressed sales assistant. Thirdly, some basic skills and qualities are necessary, such as communication skills and analysis skills. And also, to keep contact with our customers is very important(论点4). It can help us toimprove our achievements and make sure we have sustainable resources for the future development.补充词汇:sales manager 销售经理sales promotion 促销sales potential 销售selling profit 销售利润What is important when contacting clients by telephone?calling at the right timelisten carefullypositive and enthusiasticWhen contacting clients by telephone, we have to cover the whole range of business master in a limited time, so we have to be very brief and efficient in every minute available (论点1:在已给出的提示中:calling at the right time比较难拓展,需尽量扯到我们熟悉的或常识性的话题,即说话要简洁、有效). As a matter of fact, we talk all day, but how to talk is obviously a somewhat neglected art.To be specific, you should make sure that you that you call your clients at the right time, because it is impropriate, impolite and very annoying to disturb your clients when they are in the middle of something. To put it in another way, the perfect timing is the key point.Secondly, when contacting clients by telephone you should listencarefully, because one of the best ways to show your respects to your clients is to become a good listenerThirdly, you need to have a positive attitude and to let your clients feel that you are positive and enthusiastic. Also, you can keep a harmonious circumstance between you and the clients. Of course, there are other details that you should pay attention to (论点4), such as do not hang up first. We often say that the details determine whether you will succeed or fail(细节决定成功还是失败). Note that the details can help a lot to solve the problems effectively.What is important when managing change? clear objectivecommunicationtechnology and qualified personnel.。
BEC 剑桥商务英语中级(第三版)讲义MODULE 2
MODULE 22.1 Company benefitsTask 1 Exam Practice: Speaking Test—Part 2Task 2 Business Skills: Presenting your companyTask 3 Exam Spotlight: Writing Test—Part 1T ask 1: Speaking T est—Part 2I.Speaking PracticeThere’re a number of points to consider then arranging in-house training. The first thing is the training needs of staff. As we know, the object of training is the staff. Only when we know and meet their requirements, can we improve their knowledge and skills needed for higher quality performance and more effective work. Otherwise, it will be purposeless and a waste of time.The second thing to remember is the quality and influence of the trainer. To make the training effective, the trainer plays a very important role. A qualified trainer with great influence can make the training more professional, appealing and convincing. Since most staff nowadays are quite busy, they will not attend a training offered by an obscure, inexperience and non-professional trainer.In addition to that, length of training should be well-planned. It cannot be too long or too short.A lengthy training may be tedious and exhaustive; while too short training may be fruitless.OK, I think that just covers everything. Thank you!When selecting applicants for a job, the first thing to consider is their personal qualities. A candidate with relevant qualities can ensure that he or she has the required abilities, knowledge or techniques pertinent to that job. And companies don’t have to prepare further training for them when they start work thus reduces costs.Secondly, a candidate needs to have previous working experience, since a person with lots ofacademic certificates may not know how to cope with real situations. However, a candidate with experience will find it much easier to adapt himself or herself to the work environment and to play his or her role.Apart from these, you also need to consider the communicating ability of the candidate. By communicative skills, we mean having the ability to express ideas clearly, be cooperative and get on well with other people which will be very important for him or her to play a good part in the team work.Well, that’s all my points. Thank you!T ask 2: Presenting your companyTask 1) Vocabulary—Company termsReference expressionsnew-hire training 新员工培训orientation新员工培训,迎新会vocational training / professional training职业培训management training管理培训develop a good training program to keep the staff motivated通过开发良好的培训计划来提高员工的工作热情Many entrepreneurs see to view employee training and development as more optional than essential … a viewpoint that can be costly to both short-term profits and long-term progress许多企业家认为员工的培训和发展可有可无,而非至关重要,认为这对公司的短期利益和长远发展来说代价太高。

This is John Raymond, from Planet Design Shops. I'm calling about our order for a security camera. It's being dispatched tomorrow and the driver will need delivery instructions. OK. Address first, the order confirmation gave the retail park as the delivery address, but your invoice has our central branch. Oh. That's not where we want it to be delivered. The confirmation was right. OK. Now, parking, the spaces opposite the shop are for disabled drivers only, so your driver should use the loading area while he sets up the equipment. I've got that. We'll have payment ready for you. That's fine. Thanks. I'll make out a receipt for the driver to give you when he makes the delivery. Will you be paying by cheque? Yes. And you have something for the driver to collect, I understand. Yes. We've come to the end of the rental period on our photocopier. We've bought a new model, so the old one's to be returned. Right, the driver will call you tomorrow with a definite time【BEC中级真题听力】第二辑Test 3 - Part 3Hints:MDstate-of- the-artMinistry of IndustryWorld Bank英式拼写最后一句到then截止,后面不写As you know, the main supplier of our components announced suddenly last month that they were closing down shortly, leaving us in a very difficult situation. I shortlisted four potential replacement suppliers, and have visited them all. I'll report on each, though I've only found one company that meets our needs entirely. Initially, I was optimistic about the first company I saw. I was given an enthusiastic welcome and generous hospitality by the MD, but when he took me on a tour of the factory, I began to have a few doubts about his commercial expertise. The factory is enormous, a converted aircraft shed, I think, almost too big to be practical. There is certainly enough machinery to produce the quantities we need, and that, of course, is vital. However, I had one main concern. The company has recently invested heavily in state-of- the-art production equipment and in a comprehensive training programme for machine operators. But I was surprised to see that half the factory wasn't in use because several important customers had cancelled orders. I was reassured that orders are dispatched quickly, and delivery times are impressive, and distribution isn't a problem, but I'd need to inspect their products more closely to see if the quality's what we require. The second company looked promising too, because they are based in the region that produces the natural resources to make our components. Everything neededfor their activities is available on their doorstep. They have a good working relationship with the local mine owners, who are known to have good safety records. During my visit, the company went into great detail about the quality inspections carried out on the material before it leaves the mines. This company seemed to have no problems with transport, until I looked more closely. The factory is in a very mountainous region, about 600 kilometres from the capital city. Passenger flights are fairly frequent, taking under two hours, but the journey by road can take days. The roads are really inadequate. The whole infrastructure needs massive investment. There is a seaport just over the border with the neighbouring country, which would certainly cut down on distance, but, as far as I can see, it might also bring other problems. Now we simply can't risk depending on such fragile communications. The third company I looked at, on the other hand, is on the coast, with good access to the main seaport. Transport and shipping of goods are well organised and, in fact, they own a haulage company as one of their subsidiaries. The production unit is new, built and equipped with the help of investment from the Ministry of Industry. What's more, company workers are involved in decision-making, and industrial relations are excellent. Perfect so far. Unfortunately, though, their finished products are not of the quality we demand. The specifications are right for our components, so no modifications in design would be necessary. But when I did a quick inspection, I found a higher percentage of faults than we'd be prepared to tolerate. If we chose them, we'd certainly have to negotiate longer warranties than those they're offering at present. The final company I visited seems to have everything, though. It's ten years old, well established, located between the capital and a major seaport.The company has grown rapidly and has just modernised its factory, thanks to a loan from the World Bank, which has enabled it to install the most up-to-date equipment available on the market. The production unit is now fully automated, and efficiency is the company's great strength. This company has a well-deserved reputation for the quality of its finished goods. Given their high standard, it's not surprising that the costs are considerable, and they're asking higher prices than the other companies I visited. But I'm confident we'll be able to negotiate on this. The key point in their favour, in my opinion, is their ability to meet deadlines for the duration of a long-term contract. It's easy to meet one deadline, of course, the difficult thing is to do it all the time. To sum up, th【BEC中级真题听力】第二辑Test 4 - Part 1 Conversation 2Hints:Mike ShepherdKaren PetersonMarketingMusicMateDirectors'oh等感叹词不写最后一句写到you为止英式拼写对话人之间以换行区分Mike Shepherd. Hello, it's Karen Peterson here, from Marketing. I've been called away on urgent business, but I wanted you to have my report on the MusicMate cassette player to discuss at the Directors' meeting this morning. Right. OK then, I'd better make a note of this. Right. MusicMate has been our second all-time best-seller, with a reputation based on qualitydesign at an inexpensive price. OK, I've got that. Sold originally only on the Asian market it was then launched in Europe, which rapidly overtook Asia in sales volume, giving us a sure sign that the USA, an even bigger market, should be our next target. Fine.I don't think we'll be making any decisions about new markets, though. OK, back to the UK market then. I think it's important not to neglect our loyal customers here. What would be really helpful would be a new advertising campaign, but I'm aware there's not enough in the budget for that. So I'm suggesting that the way forward is to offer greater discounts. This should form the basis for our marketing plan. That's it. And, also, any rumours of my department wanting to phase out MusicMate are false. We're very optimistic about its future. Fine.Well look, it's been a pleasure talking to you.en.【BEC中级真题听力】第二辑Test 4 - Part 2 Section 2Hints:英式拼写写数字编号,编号之后空格写说话内容18 I think where we went wrong was in assuming that price is always the most important concern, and simply keeping our margins low. Clearly, by doing this we haven't managed to regain market share. Our marketing consultant has suggested that we change our strategy and give increased attention to other things which are very important to people, such as reliability of quality and of delivery, even if it involves charging more. 19 We'll be implementing various measures as quickly as possible. In the short term, we're going to reduce the number of quality control staff on the factory floor. We think we can do this without causing too many problems. We're also looking at the supplier of ourmetal casings. We think we can negotiate a better deal for these elsewhere. And we also need to give serious thought to the question of overheads. 20 I've looked at the figures for the last five years and they're rather worrying. I feel we must do something to retain people longer. As things are, the cost to the company isn't easy to quantify. We don't have any reliable method of calculating it. But it must be considerable. After all, it takes quite a few weeks, or months, depending on the type of work, for anyone new to achieve maximum productivity, because there's so much information to acquire. 21 Our assets are very healthy. The capital value of the hotel building has almost doubled since we acquired it. But although we've renovated about 1/3 of the rooms, we can't complete the programme without funds, and we can't generate any substantial income until we start trading. So we've decided to open for business immediately, and offer discounts to compensate for the inconvenience of the ongoing building work. We're sure there'll be a market. 22 Research suggests that saturation point was reached in this country some time ago, despite falling prices. So we shouldn't expect consumption here to increase much more in the future. However, income levels in our traditional overseas markets are steadily rising, so a product like ours, which is regarded as a luxury there right now, will soon be regarded as a necessity. So, in general terms, the figures will be much as they were.BEC中级听力真题第二辑Test 3 - Test4。

经科版BEC高级教师用书整理版教材电子版
经科版BEC高级教师用书整理版教材电子版经科版BEC高级教师用书整理版Unit 1a Work rolesP5 Reading 1-2 Read the brochure extract to find out how WorkSet uses colour to clarify work roles.Suggested answer:WorkSet allows companies to clarify work roles by classifying different aspects of the job according to colour. Companies can use colour to specify the exact level of responsibility to be given to a number of key tasks. These specifications can be changed as the job changes. Employees can use the same system to give feedback on the job from their point of view, ensuring that job descriptions remain relevant.1-3 Look at the pie charts and discuss the differences between them based on the information in the WorkSet extract.Suggested answer:According to the manager's brief, about half of the employee's time should be spent taking personal responsibility for meeting objectives (yellow work). However, the employee feels that this is not the case. Blue work (Le, work carded out in a prescribed way) is double the amount envisaged in the brief. As can be seen from the grey, white and pink segments, the employee also perceives him/herself to be involved in certain activities outside the job brief While the small amount of white (creative) work appears to be positive, the pink time serves no useful purpose. Moreover, the incidental grey work which the employee is asked to do in addition to his/her job may be detracting from the core yellow work.1-4 A manager assigns the following tasks to differentworkers. Match each verb with one of the four core WorkSet colours.schedule – yellow operate – blue co-operate - orangeparticipate – orange decide – yellow support - greendesign – yellow assist – green comply - bluefollow - blueThink of another verb for each core colour.Suggested answer:blue - carry Out, executeyellow - plan, researchgreen - aid, coverorange - take pert, brainstormP7 Report writingReading 2-1 Barrie Watson of Belbin Associates has just led a Team Leadership Workshop at Exstrom Engineering. Read his report on the workshop. How did he use WorkSet?Suggested answer:Barrie Watson used WorkSet to ascertain that Ekstrom Team Leaders had different perceptions of the precise level of responsibility to be allocated to each of their key tasks, He then helped the company to use the WorkSet colours to select which level was most appropriate for each task and to communicate its expectations to the Team Leaders,2-2 Read the report again and answer the following questions1. To explain how they saw their roles.2. Leaders had different perceptions of their roles.3. TO communicate the most appropriate approach to a series of key tasks.4. Skills can be developed; attributes (i,e. the qualities peopleare born with) cannot.5. It can set up assessment centres to screen applicants and team leaders.Unit 1b Company structureP9 Types of company structureSpeaking 1 Look at the following diagram. What kind of company structure do you think each one represents?Suggested answer:A Large established company, Hierarchical pyramid structure.B Small company (owner manager), Flat management structureC Flexible company with project-based teams.Reading 2 Read the article on the opposite page. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each company structure?A Hierarchical organisationAdvantages: High level of controlDisadvantages: Workers lack the authority and motivation to improve processes. Management's response time is slow. Only suitable for stable business environments.B Entrepreneurial organisationAdvantages: Totally centralised authority and direct contact between owner and employees ensure responsiveness to external changes.Disadvantages: Only suitable for small companies.C information age organisationAdvantages: Allows speed of response within a large complex structure. Retains control but gives quick access to information. Employees can constantly refine their actions and strategies. Organisational control is dynamic.Disadvantages: Although IT makes all these advantagespossible, it cannot motivate people to use the information they have.3 Read the article again and answer the following questions.1. Operating processes are concerned with how a company produces and sells its products and services, Management processes are concerned with how a company directs and controls these operations.2. Jobs are standardised and separated into sequential steps which am carried out under direct supervision.3. There is daily personal interaction between the owner and employees.4. Access to information alone cannot motivate peoples to use that information on behalf of the organisation. Organisations need to ensure that the information is used by managers and employees to accomplish the same goals.。

BEC中级第四辑阅读真题解析(完美打印版)
第四辑真题解析T1P1首先得搞明白的是这篇文章到底讲的什么。
不用看具体内容,有两个地方直接告诉了。
一个是题目说明的第一句话,另一个是正文的标题。
从这两个地方就可以看出全文探讨的是公司未来接班人——也就是潜力股——的培养问题。
A段讲了TLRG这个贯穿全文的研究组织诞生的原因:现行的研究满足不了需要,于是大多数公司只能自己探索发掘接班人的模式;(即第五题的答案)B段讲了直属经理(line managers)对于发掘接班人的重要性(真是干什么都要从基层抓起),以及经理们的一些疑虑;C段讲的是接班人问题对公司的重要性,并且应该让院线经理们明白这种重要性;D段是针对前面列出的问题,提出的解决建议,什么专家协助等等。
整篇文章分为四个部分,层层递进,有很强的逻辑性。
拿这样的文章来做阅读材料应该是相对容易把握的。
题目解析:图中蓝色的线为答案潜伏的地方。
7个题干基本是将原文中的句子用另外的词语和句型表述出来,所以题干中的关键词都能在正文里找到与之匹配的,比如第四题题干里的expert 对应D段的specialists,第六题的too busy to对应于B段里的heavy workloads,第七题的interest对应于C段的appeal。
第一题说“经理们必须采取措施使潜力股们相信他们对公司的价值”,也就是要让潜力股们对公司忠诚,即C段说的creating “attraction centres”和loyalty。
第二题说“组织必须把目光投向正在培养中的潜力股以外的地方”,即D段最后两句话所说的寻找新一代的潜力股。
第三题和B段的最后一句话完全是一个意思:怕培养潜力股的投入收不回成本。
第四题说开发潜力股,经理们需要在公司内部得到专家支持。
答案是D段的第一句话:公司的人力资源专家需要采取行动。
HR specialists就是expert。
第五题说公司现在没有在指导策略的支持下辨别潜力股。
也就是说公司是依靠自己来发掘人才的。

BECTEST3听力文字稿
TEST 3This is the Business English Certificate Vantage 4, Listening Test 3.Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will hear three telephone conversations or messages.Write one or two words or a number in the numbered spaces on the notes or forms below.After you have listened once, replay each recording.[pause]Conversation One.Questions 1 to 4.Look at the notes below.You will hear a phone conversation between a manager and his PA.You have 15 seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and fill in the spaces.[pause]Man: Hi, Jane. Barry here. Sorry this is a bit rushed, but I need you to fax me a document urgently.Woman: No problem. What do you need?Man: That report I’ve been writing on recruitment. I haven’t printed it off, but you’ll find it on my computer. I called it ‘jobsplan’, all one word. OK?Woman: No problem. Which folder is it in? Personnel?Man: That’s right. No, no, hang on, um, I created a new folder called Current Reports - it’s in there.Woman: OK. I’ve made a note of that. If I can’t locate it, I’ll call you back.Man: Fine. It’s quite a long document by the way. So don’t bother sending the appendix. We don’t really need that. But include the contents page - that’d be quite useful. Woman: Shall I send it to you there at Head Office?Man: Um... let me think. It might be better to fax it to my hotel.Er, no, you’re right. Send it here.Woman: OK.Man: Thanks very much. Bye.[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]Conversation Two.Questions 5 to 8.Look at the notes below.You will hear two colleagues discussing an additional location for their business.You have 15 seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and fill in the spaces.Woman: Hello, Mike, have you got a moment?Man: Sure, what is it? The location?Woman: Yes, we can’t put it off any longer.Man: Hm, especially as we chose the site for the new warehouse last night. We need to get organised.Woman: Exactly. We need a decision today. Where should the discount shop be, then?Man: Well, not too close to our existing branches, that’s for sure. I think it’d better be in the out-of-town retail centre.Woman: I know that’s easier for customers, but the business park, which is the other out-of- town site, would be better for deliveries, which is important.Man: But the trend is towards more and more people using the retail centre, isn’t it? Woman: Well, the survey we did shows people will visit the business park if we open there. Man: Really? I wasn’t expecting that. Is it because we produce specialist goods? Does that make a difference?Woman: Yes.Man: Are there any local grants available?Woman: Not as such, but there are tax benefits if we take on premises in the business park. Man: Right. That’s settled, then. How about...[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]Conversation Three.Questions 9 to 12.Look at the note below.You will hear a woman leaving a message about where to hold a meeting.You have 15 seconds to read through the note.[pause]Now listen, and fill in the spaces.[pause]Hi, it’s Emily Parker in Marketing. I was at the Carlton Hotel yesterday for a sales training meeting. I thought it would be a very suitable place to hold the shareholders’meeting you’re arranging. I heard you’re still looking for somewhere. They’ve recently refurbished all their meeting rooms. I was in a seminar room - it was too small for your event, but I looked at the conference hall and the VIP lounge and either would be perfect - oh, except the conference hall’s booked on the twenty-fifth of October, so it doesn’t leave us any choice. Anyway, they’re both large rooms with comfortable seating, and it’s possible to have a sound system at no extra cost. We’d have to bring a display stand of our own if we wanted one. Assuming you want to go ahead with the twenty-fifth, I mentioned to the Events Manager there that we might want to book, so you’ll need to talk to him, rather than the General Manager in the bookings office. The number’s three-five-seven-two-oh-nine. Bye.[pause]Now listen to the recording again.That is the end of Part One. You now have 20 seconds to check your answers.[pause]Part Two. Questions 13 to 22.Section One.Questions 13 to 17.You will hear five short recordings. Five speakers are talking about delegating at work.For each recording, decide what advice the speaker gives about delegating at work.Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording.Do not use any letter more than once.After you have listened once, replay the recordings.You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H.[pause]Now listen, and decide what advice each speaker gives about delegating at work.[pause]ThirteenNo matter how much confidence you have in the person you’re entrusting a task to, I think there’s a crucial element to delegating that’s often forgotten. There has to be a framework in place of where and who to go to if they get stuck and need help. I know, as a manager, I’m used to dealing with tasks all by myself, but when I’m delegating to juniors, I always remind myself that not everybody is as independent as me.[pause]FourteenIf you’ve ever delegated to someone else and spent more time on the task than if you’d done it yourself, then it’s time to review where you’re going wrong. If your motivation for delegating is thinking that the other person can do it better than you, or it’ll free you up to do something else, that’s great. But delegation isn’t an easy way out, so if you’re just being lazy or the task seems too small to concern yourself with, always do it yourself.[pause]FifteenOnce you’ve selected someone to delegate a task to - assuming you do have a choice of personnel - there’s something you need to do that’s too important to leave till the job’s finished. It’s a mistake if you don’t make it clear to staff what they’re doing well and what they could improve on. Some managers think it’s a form of interfering and doesn’t give people space to get on with the job, but I find some constructive suggestions are usually helpful.[pause]SixteenWhen you give someone a task to do, there’s not much point in simply listing the particular difficulties involved in carrying it out. You really need to check they understand what challenges they can expect to face and how they might deal with them. So you should sit down with them and explore possible solutions. If they simply say ‘I understand’, it’s not a guarantee that they do. [pause]Once you become an effective delegator, you’ll be talked about by those who see what you and your team can achieve. And, as for team members, well, they’ll appreciate the trust you place in them and the support they’ve received from you. But until you reach that point on the learning curve, keep telling yourself not to give up whenever it doesn’t go to plan. I’ve certainly had some disastrous attempts at delegating in my time.[pause]Now listen to the recordings again.[pause]Section Two.Questions 18 to 22.You will bear another five recordings. Five speakers are talking about the reason for the success of their company’s most recent TV advertising campaign.For each recording, decide what reason the speaker gives for the success of the campaign.Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording.Do not use any letter more than once.After you have listened once, replay the recordings.You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H.[pause]Now listen, and decide what each speaker says is the reason for the success.[pause]EighteenOur last campaign was the most successful ever. Always worried about the cost, we were on a tight budget, but the results were fantastic. Research had shown our rivals’ products were more attractive, but while the ad was running, one of them had some bad publicity about their products, and we picked up a lot of their trade. Sometimes, it’s not how much you invest or who you use, but just being in the right place at the right time.[pause]NineteenLast year’s TV campaign took the market by storm. In the past, we’d depended heavily on sending out samples to customers - it was a cheap and, we thought, effective way of targeting our core customer base.But last year, we had the good fortune to recruit a dynamic young Marketing Manager who brought with him a group of people who are changing the way we do things. We’re looking to produce another even more successful series of TV commercials next year. [pause]TwentySpend money to earn money! That’s been the philosophy of our organisation for years. The directors liked expensive-looking TV commercials, which appealed to our core customers in the old age bracket. However, our last campaign proved that you don’t always have to go over budget to win new customers. We thought of a new approach, which our agency developed, and it turned out to be cheaper and, to our delight, brought us to the attention of a new, younger market. [pause]Twenty-oneSuccessful TV campaigns can be costly, and good market research is absolutely vital. We’ve always researched thoroughly before a campaign, but there’s something else which was the key to last month’s success. Although some people attribute it to our main rival’s bankruptcy, it was the fact that we found a management group who we brought in to recommend ways of improving our marketing that really helped. A suggestion to use a TV campaign to advertise in-store promotions and mail-order facilities paid off handsomely.[pause]Twenty-twoConsultants recommended hiring a whole new marketing team for the company, but I rejected this. We’ve got a good experienced team in the company. It would’ve been an unnecessary expense. We decided we should put more effort into the groundwork for the campaign. Our team carried out a more detailed customer survey, and on the basis of that, our production company was able to create a commercial that was more accurately targeted.[pause]Now listen to the recordings again.[pause]That is the end of Part Two.[pause]Part Three.Questions 23 to 30.You will hear a radio interview with a businessman called Brett Porter, who developed a product called Rainaway, a type of waterproof map.For each question, 23-30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You have 45 seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and mark A, B or C.[pause]Woman: ... and today we’re talking to Brett Porter, whose company developed the hugely successful all-weather maps called ‘Rainaway’. These are waterproof maps that can beused by people who ride motorbikes. Brett, welcome to the programme.Man: Thanks.Woman: You actually invented Rainaway - how did that come about?Man: Well, anyone, like me, who rides a motorbike, understands the problem of ordinary maps falling to pieces when it’s raining or windy. There are three million bikers just inthe UK, who I knew would be willing to pay for a solution to this problem. Nobody hadever produced something like Rainaway - I’d assumed it couldn’t be done.., that thecosts were too great.., but I was disappointed that my needs as a consumer weren’tcatered for, and people I knew kept encouraging me to develop and produce it as abusiness.Woman: Was establishing the company difficult?Man: In fact, I already had my own company - a motorcycle courier firm - but this was completely different and involved setting up a new business. What I’d learnt aboutpricingdidn’t seem to apply - I’d never dealt with a ‘product’as such. But I knew I understood the market better than most. If I could make the product, I’d be meeting a demand.However, knowing where to sell and how to get it into the shops was another matter! Woman: I see.Man: But I was convinced the business would grow fast. I even entered the European Awards Scheme for ideas for business start-ups. It had a first prize of one hundred thousandeuros’worth of software from Croner Consulting. The awards were sponsored byAlliance Business Bank - and because I made the final shortlist, I was offered atwo-per-cent interest loan from them if I needed it. They organised a dinner foreveryone on the shortlist, and I happened to get chatting to their senior businessconsultant, who gave me some invaluable financial advice. It really helped get mestarted.Woman: Did you do any trial production of the maps?Man: Yes. I knew what they should look like - a strong cover and small enough to flick through quickly. But trials took six months. The difficulty was we had to use a reallytough kind of plastic for the cover, and this had to be fed into the printer sheet by sheet- fine for a small output, but absolutely no good for large-scale production.Woman: Did you have any trouble persuading a printing company to make Rainaway?Man: I thought I would - it wasn’t really in a printer’s interest to make a long-lasting product.The real difficulty, though, was my lack of a track record. They thought I was justplanning a one-off print run or a very small-scale operation, which wouldn’t be veryprofitable for them. Once I’d persuaded the boss of one firm that wasn’t the case, heseemed willing to take a chance.Woman: Do you use someone else’s maps to make Rainaway from?Man: Yes, we use Herne Publishing’s. Of course, given they know they’re a crucial supplier, there’s a danger in a few years they might want to buy us out. But in the meantime, Ihave a protected trademark, and the people at Herne Publishing realise it’s better forthem to let me use my knowledge and contacts to establish the business. The alternativefor them would involve spending money on producing a rival product, which I knowthey would be reluctant to do.Woman: You must be pleased with Rainaway’s performance?Man: Absolutely. We launched Rainaway in September two thousand one, and sold two hundred thousand maps in the first year alone. In the last couple of years, the companyturned over in excess of seven hundred thousand pounds, our best result so far, whichisn’t bad when you consider our maps retail at ten to twenty-four pounds each. Woman: Very impressive! What’s next for Rainaway? Do you plan to extend your range? Man: I already have plenty of other ideas for the longer term, but that’s all I can say for now.I’ve been devoting a lot of time recently to facilitating expansion by setting up a callcentre to deal with mail-order sales. That’s just opened, with a staff of twenty-five. Inow need to concentrate on our advertisements - they’ve been very popular so far, butit’s tough coming up with new ideas to continue to attract attention.Woman: I wish you luck.[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part Three. You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to your Answer Sheet.[pause]Note: Teacher, stop the recording here and time ten minutes. Remind students when there is one minute remaining.That is the end of the test.(注:文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,供参考。
bec中级口试答案
bec 中级口试答案篇一:bec 中级口语考试:基础篇】xt>1.1 第一部分考试形式(test format of part 1) 在第一部分考试中,考官就考生的个人情况或工作、学习情况向其提问,考生作答。
然后考官再提问,考生再作答。
考官一般会对每个考生进行两轮提问,每一轮三至四个问题,随后转向另一名考生,在两名考生间交替进行,直到规定时满为止,一般大约 3 分钟。
这部分考试的特点是:话题涵盖的范围一般比较简单、浅显,不会超出日常会话的范畴,而且大部分话题都比较类似,是由主考官从剑桥大学考试委员会印发的question list 上随机挑选的。
考前的充分准备足以保证考生应付大多数问题。
而且在第一部分考核过程中,考官提问的问句大部分都是简单句,一般不超过15 个单词,清晰易懂。
1.2 应试建议(tips on how to cope with part 1)(1) greet upon entering the exam room. 进入考场后,考生应当充满自信,自然大方地向考官问候致意。
话不需多,但自然、新切的问候语,可以给考官留下良好的第一印象。
常用的问候语包括:good morning, sir / miss / madam.good afternoon, sir / miss / madam.nice to meet you.(注:有两位男老师在场,可以称呼gentlemen. 有两位女老师在场,可以称呼misses. 有一位男老师和一位女老师在场,可以干脆免去后面的敬呼语,或直接采纳上面第三种问候方式,以免去敬呼语太长、太繁琐的尴尬。
madam 一般用于明显很年长的女教师,否则改用miss ,因为女性对年龄认可度比较敏感。
)(2) relax yourself, yet do avoid over relaxing yourself. 大部分考生都有过这样的经历:平时跟同伴一起练口语的时候说得挺流畅的,但一到课堂上回答老师问题时,或是一进入口语考试房间时,所有头脑中的思路都不翼而飞,头脑一片空白。
