At the industry's recent annual conference, he focused his talk on Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM).According to Swan, existing customers are between, three and eight times more likely to buy than a non-customer with the same profile, so increasing customer loyalty is important: if you record the measurements of someone's jeans,next time you can offer them a pair that fit exactly; note which hotel guests'ask for ice intheir drinks and produce it next time they visit. Although it is essential for effective CRM to record customer information on a good computer database, the real skill is in interpreting what your customers tell you and knowing what promises they think you have made.Swan believes that success requires an equal mix of market research, delivering what the customer expects, finding any weak areas in the system and asking customers for their after sales opinions and suggestions.

Interprise is an EU agency that encourages cross-border business cooperation. It is like a "dating agency" that tries to match people who are looking for love. Interprise helps business to find partners in other countries to join in trading or distribution arrangements.The agency's task is to set up face-to-face meetings with business counterparts from other countries. This is how it works. The agency gets a request from a company,known as the "host company" (like a person who hosts a party), to help it find overseas companies. The host company creates a theme, that is, to say exactly what it wants. The Agency then helps it to team up with more host companies from at least two other EU regions who are looking for similar partners.The Agency then publicizes the coming event to attract as many "guests" (visitors) as possible, that is, companies who might be interested in partnerships with the host companies. To do this, Interprise produces, an " Interprise Catalogue" in which the host companies describe themselves and say what kind of partner they are looking for, for example, "a partner in Germany to distribute our products". The EU covers part of the running costs of the event, up to 70,000~ Euros. In order to reach as many people as possible, the agency works through local Chambers of Commerce, who in turn publicize the event to their own members. Each member of Commerce is expected to bring at least fifteen companies. A recent Interprise event and over 200 registered visitors.But Interprise is not an easy idea' to "sell". It is not a trade fair in the usual sense. The average trade fair is like window-shopping: firms set out their goods, and visitors look around to see if there's anything they want. With Interprise, everything is carefully arranged in advance.Foreign companies want a full programme of meetings -- and with the right people.It is too early to say if Interprise is a success, but comments from both host companies and visitors have been very positive, "I've a pocketful of business cards and have made several useful contacts..""Great. We have met some firms that are really interested in becoming distributors. " Of course, they might have made useful contacts at an ordinary trade fair,except that it would have been only by chance.What is Interprise?A.another word for ' enterprise'B.a dating agencyC.a way of matching companies59、 The purpose of an Interprise event is toA.buy and sell products.B.meet others with similar interests.C.travel to other countries.60、 Interprise catalogues are distributedA.during an Interprise event.B.after an Interprise event.C.before an Interprise event.61、 The role of Chambers of Commerce is toA.welcome visitors to the event.B.find the host companies.anize the Interprise event.62、 An Interprise event is different from a trade fair becauseA.people meet face to face.B.meetings are planned before the event.C.the EU pays for part of the running costs.63、 Host companies are happy with an Interprise event if they areA.made useful contacts.B.promoted their business.C.distributed their product.PARI SIX：Questions 29-4064、 For each question64-75, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.RSh Health Problems at the KeyboardDo you use a keyboard in your job?

This can lead to a lot of wasted time as people discuss irrelevanttopics. Another issue is that some people dominate the conversation, while others are too shy to speak up.

Some people talk too much while others are too quiet.C. People are always focused.Passage 2.Online shopping has become increasingly popular in recent years. It offers many advantages over traditional shopping. For example, it is very convenient. You can shop from the comfort of your own home, at any time ofthe day or night. There is also a wider range of products available online than in most physical stores.However, there are also some disadvantages. One problem is that you cannot see or touch the products before you buy them. This can make it difficult to judge the quality. Another issue is that there may be security risks, such as the possibility of your personal information being stolen.Despite these problems, online shopping is likely to continue to grow. Many companies are working hard to improve the online shopping experience, for example by offering better product descriptions and more secure payment systems.1. What are the advantages of online shopping according to the passage?A. It is cheaper.B. It is convenient and has a wide range of products.C. You can get better service.2. What are the disadvantages of online shopping?A. You have to wait a long time for delivery.B. You can't see or touch the products and there may be security risks.C. There are fewer products available.3. What are companies doing to improve online shopping?A. Offering free delivery.B. Offering better product descriptions and more secure payment systems.C. Reducing prices.三、写作部分（共20分）（一）写一封电子邮件（10分）你是一家公司的员工，你的名字是John。

BEC商务英语初级考试历年真题及答案6套

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

'We could already afford to expand overseas,' says Caroline Bell, Contrast's Chairman, 'but didn't know the best way to do it. This way, we'll benefit from King Coffee's experience, while keeping the two companies' brands and branches quite separate.'Caroline Bell and Johnny Nash's first venture was to set up a clothes shop ten years ago. Later they began selling sandwiches there, and then, finding sandwiches more profitable, gave up selling clothes. During this time Bell has been involved in every aspect of the business, including sandwich making and now heading the company, while Johnny Nash is the Chief Executive. With Nash responsible for day-to-day management, Bell can find time to concentrate on what she describes as the secret of their success: experimenting with different ingredients, to add to the menu. 'We believe in doing what we do best,' she says, 'so we won't move into other fields. And our customers like our friendly service, so we'll make sure that doesn't change.'One reason for the friendly service is that five times a year, the shop managers spend a day at another branch serving customers, so that they don't forget what it's like for the sales staff. Senior managers, too, participate in this scheme. 'It's great because you're in contact with both customers and staff,' Bell says. 'We considered introducing it for the whole workforce, but it was too difficult.'The company see their staff as key, and Bell is proud that most managerial appointments come from within the chain. 'Some people think that companies need to bring managers in from outside, but we haven't found that. In fact we've done so well that there's a risk we'll stop trying, which would ruin Contrast. We would like to think that as long as sandwiches stay popul ar, we'll always be successful, but of course that isn't true.'And will she always be the sandwich queen? 'If I were just doing it forthe money, I could sell out tomorrow and be rich. But what matters to me is that the people I work with think I'm doing a good job. I'll stay for as long as they think that, but I can't imagine finding anything else more interesting.'23、 Why has Contrast sold shares to King Coffee?A. It needs the money to fund expansion abroad.B. It hopes to learn how to move into foreign markets.C. It wants to use the King Coffee name in other countries.24、 How did Caroline Bell begin working for Contrast?A. She was one of the people who started the company.B. She joined the company as a sandwich maker.C. She was appointed at senior manager level.25、 Bell's plan for the company is toA. expand the range of sandwiches on offer.B. move into new types of products.C. improve the quality of the ingredients they use.26、 What happens on five days a year?A. Customers have the chance to talk to managers.B. Managers go to a different shop to work.C. All employees work in another shop.27、 What does Bell consider to be the biggest danger to the company?A. Most of the managers were promoted internally.B. Sandwich shops are going out of fashion.C. The management might relax their efforts.28、 Bell says she would leave the company if sheA. lost the respect of colleagues.B. made enough money.C. became bored with the work.PART SIX● Read the article below about staff surveys.● Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C on the opposite page.● For each question (29-40), mark one letter (A, B orC. on your Answer Sheet.Staff QuestionnairesSurveys are now an everyday part of business life.

I'm in the Home Electrical department and my direct line is oh-one-eight-seven-three, four-five double three-three-nine. Right, what we need urgently is your fridge and freezer brochure - we've run out of the hundred you sent us, so we'd like two hundred and fifty more. And please include the price list - half a dozen copies of that should be enough, no make it eight, could you? Also I have a question about your dishwashers - in the new brochure for those there's no reference to the JQ one-six-five model, but it shows the new JQ one-six-eight, which looks similar but is wider. Have you stopped making the earlier one? I've got a customer who wants to buy it - or another model of the same width. It's five-nine-oh millimetres instead of the usual six hundred, which she needs to fit in a particular space. Could someone call me back as soon as possible about this?

I k now some people aren't here yet, but let's start anyway. We haven't got much time before we open. The first thing is we've appointed a new assistant manager to replace John Black when he leaves next month. John's replacement is Amanda Hill from the Oxford branch. I'm sure you'll enjoy working with her and I hope she'll have your full support.Now, with the opening of the new sportswear department, we have a number of vacancies at senior level. If you are a member of the junior sales staff and you are interested in applying for one of these senior positions, see Personnel. Moving on, some of you in the stockroom complained about the way stock is handled and I'm pleased to say head office have agreed to update the software we use to make the process more efficient, and that'll be installed in a few weeks. Still no news on the stock room management training, but, for those of you in the creative design team who are responsible for the shop displays, there's a one-week course on window display. This will be held at head office and we're allowed to send four of you. Anyone in the team interested in going on this course, speak to your supervisor at the end of this meeting.Finally, some news of an important visit - our chairman is coming to this store next month. He wants to meet as many of you as possible so he'll be with us all day - that's on the thirteenth of July. He's going to make a tour of the sales areas in the morning and talk to senior managers in the afternoon about the company's export policy. There'll also be the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.64、 JUNIOR SALES (STAFF) (LEVEL) (ASSISTANTS) 65、 (UPDATED / NEW) SOFTWARE (PROGRAMME(S) / PROGRAMMING / PROGRAM / PROGRAMING) 66、 WINDOW DISPLAY(S) / SHOP DISPLAY(S) 67、 (THE) (OUR) CHAIRMAN / (COMPANY) CHAIRMAN / THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMPANY / THE COMPANY'S CHAIRMAN 68、 13TH/13TH OF JULY 69、 (THE) (COMPANY) / (COMPANY'S) EXPORT(S) / EXPORTING (POLICY)PART FOUR70、B[听力原文]Woman: The motor industry may be having a hard time in some areas. Butat ALC, a small vehicle plant in the UK, business has never been better. I have with me today ALC's managing director, Michael Wright.Michael, your company has a long history, doesn't it?Man: Yes, ALC began life as a small workshop that specialised in fixing lorries that had broken down, before moving into making lorry components for garages doing repairs. Then later on the company went on to design and build special vehicles according to customers' requirements.Woman: And when did you join the company?Man: In the nineteen eighties - after a career in engineering. I wanted something different and I'd always been interested in production, so I came in to manage that side of the business. Sometime later a couple of colleagues invited me to become a director.Woman: What was the company like when you joined the board?Man: Well, we'd begun lorry production, but business was slow. Then one of our existing customers was considering offering us a much larger contract. Talks were just beginning with them when I began as a director. It suited us perfectly because if they guaranteed us a lot of work, we could invest in new equipment.Woman: So what was your plan?Man: Well, I proposed working with our main competitor, so that instead of producing the whole vehicle ourselves, we could get some of the lorry parts from them and add our own special components here, to build lorries to suit this customer's requirements. But I never thought it would be so successful - we can now produce one vehicle every fifty-three minutes!Woman: And next you turned to ambulance production.Man: Well, we soon decided we needed to expand our customer base by developing another product of our own, so we started working on a design for producing a new line in ambulances. Economic changes aren't as much of a problem as they are for manufacturers of other types of vehicles. Ambulances will always be needed. Woman: And did you have any problems?Man: Well yes, at that time one supplier had the monopoly of the entire market, but as our prices have always been very competitive that's helped us to win customers from them. Since then we've developed our own market, and got several contracts to produce ambulances for major organisations. Woman: And I've read that your company organisation is rather different. Man: Well, management on the production and development side is strong and we all work well as a team. But what is different is that we've achieved our success without a marketing manager. I look after all that, with my two fellow directors. It's obviously working - turnover will be up again next year, and that's just the beginning!Woman: It all sounds too good to be true! Don't you have any problems? Man: Well, we have a strong balance sheet, and a satisfactory cash flow, but yes we do have our problems. We need another twenty people, and there aren't any suitably qualified people living locally. There are trained workers in other parts of the country looking for jobs, but we've found they're not willing to move here and we're certainly not going to move - we like it here too much.Woman: Well, I hope you manage to sort it out. Thank you for talking to us, Michael.Man: Thank you.71、B 72、C 73、A 74、C 75、A 76、A 77、BSPEAKINGPART 178、PART 2 79、PART 3 80、。

The group hopes to open 4 of the new restaurants by the end of this year, creating up to 120 jobs. The programme will result in a chain of over 100 Dalehouse restaurants in towns and cities all over the United Kingdom by the end of the four-year period.The company also has a limited programme of expansion in other countries. There are plans for the company to open its third restaurant abroad towards the middle of next year as planning permission was recently received for a restaurant in the south of Spain. At the moment there is a Dalehouse restaurant in Germany and another in Denmark. Negotiations are already taking place about opening two more restaurants in Germany and three more in Spain.Mr Dale said yesterday: 'Our plans are ambitious and there is no doubt that in some ways they are quite frightening. But we've been in business for twenty years and a lot of our staff have been with us for most of that time and, as a result, have experience of things growing at a fast rate.'The Dalehouse chain currently has 82 restaurants, all in town centre locations. The group is planning now to expand further in residential areas. The company intends to continue its tradition of having most of its restaurants open from midday until midnight seven days a week. It will also continue to open restaurants in buildings which were originally designed for a different purpose.Certain financial journalists wonder whether the company will be able to find enough cash to finance its plans. Mr Dale, however, remains positive. 'It is true,' he says, 'that we will not be able to finance the plans without some support from the banks, and we are in the process of arranging this at the moment. Most of the money, however, will come from the amount we have kept back from 'our profits for future investmentin the business. We opened 4 restaurants last year so an expansion programme of 5 this year and 6 next would not be outside the normal rate of growth. We have had hardly any problems financing our expansion in the past and expect this to continue in the future.After four years there will beA. a total of 600 people employed by Dalehouse restaurants.B. a Dalehouse restaurant in over 120 UK towns and cities.C. 20 more Dalehouse restaurants than there are at present.【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：1.0分第2题How many Dalehouse restaurants are there in other countries at the moment?A.

2014年剑桥商务英语高级考试试题及答案解析

剑桥商务英语高级考试试题及答案解析一、READING（PART ONE ）（共8小题,共8.0分）·Look at the statements below and at the five extracts from an article about Web hosting provider,its reseller and outsourcing. ·Which article (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement 1—8 refer to? ·For eac h statement 1—8, mark one letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet. ·You will need to use some of these letters more than once.第1题A Separate Legal EntityA unique feature of a company is that, no matter how many individuals have bought shares in it, it is treated in its dealings with the outside world as if it was a person in its own right. It is said to be a separate legal entity. Just as the law can create this separate legal person, the law also can eliminate it, but its existence can only be terminated by using the proper legal procedures.Thus, the identity of the shareholders in a large concern may be changing constantly as shares are bought and sold by different people. On the other hand, a small private company may have the same shareholders from the date it is incorporated (the day it legally came into being), until the date when liquidation is completed (the cessation of the company, often known as "winding up" or being "wound up"). A prime example of its identity as a separate legal entity is that it may sue its own shareholders, or in turn be sued by them.B Limited LiabilityMost companies are "limited" companies. This means that any shareholder who has paid for the share(s) which he has bought cannot be forced to pay more money into the company if, for example, it is making losses or has gone into liquidation. Thus, the maximum amount of money any shareholder can lose by investing in a company is the amount he has invested. Unlike in sole traders or partnerships a shareholder in a limited company cannot be forced to sell his own property to pay the debts of the business.If a shareholder has not paid in full for the shares he has agreed to buy, he can be forced to pay the balance owing on the shares. Once he has paid that amount he cannot be forced to pay any further amount. Thus, his liability is limited.C Company DirectorsThe day-to-day management of a company is not carried out by the shareholders. Shareholders can normally attend, and vote at, general meetings of their company. At one of these meetings the shareholders will vote for directors, the people to whom the running of the company is entrusted. At each Annual General Meeting (AGM) the directors have to report to the shareholders. They write a directors' report and this is accompanied by a set of final accounts for the year. If there is a change in the directors of a company, for example, a new director being appointed or an existing director resigning, this change must be notified to the Companies Office within fourteen days of the change. The board of directors (usually known simplyas "the board") is the term used to mean all of the directors.D The Company SecretaryThe company secretary must, among other things, attend all board meetings, consult with the chief executive on the agenda and keep a record of the minutes of board meetings and general meetings of the shareholders. It is normally the company secretary who makes returns to the Companies Office including notifying the Registrar of changes in the company's board, auditors, registered office etc. The company secretary is usually an individual although many companies pay firms of accountants to undertake this role.E Share Capital and DividendsA shareholder in a limited company obtains his reward for investing in the form of a share of the profits made by the company, known as a dividend. The directors decide how much of the profits is to be retained in the company and used for expansion. Out of the remaining profits they propose the payment of a certain amount of dividend. The shareholders cannot propose a dividend for themselves higher than that already proposed by the directors. They can, however, propose that a lesser dividend should be paid, although this action is very rare. If the directors propose that no dividend should be paid, then the shareholders are powerless to alter the decision.The decision by the directors as to the amount proposed as dividends is a very complex one and such matters as the effect of taxation, the availability of bank balances to pay the dividends, the possibility of take-over bids and so on will all be taken into consideration.No matter how many individuals have bought shares in it, it is treated in its dealings with the outside world as if it was a person in its own right.【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】[精析] 本题意为：不管有多少人买卖股票，它都像个体一样，和外面世界交易。

At the industry's recent annual conference, he focused his talk on Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM).According to Swan, existing customers are between, three and eight times more likely to buy than a non-customer with the same profile, so increasing customer loyalty is important: if you record the measurements of someone's jeans,next time you can offer them a pair that fit exactly; note which hotel guests'ask for ice in their drinks and produce it next time they visit. Although it is essential for effective CRM to record customer information on a good computer database, the real skill is in interpreting what your customers tell you and knowing what promises they think you have made.Swan believes that success requires an equal mix of market research, delivering what the customer expects, finding any weak areas in the system and asking customers for their after sales opinions and suggestions.

Interprise is an EU agency that encourages cross-border business cooperation. It is like a "dating agency" that tries to match people who are looking for love. Interprise helps business to find partners in other countries to join in trading or distribution arrangements.The agency's task is to set up face-to-face meetings with business counterparts from other countries. This is how it works. The agency gets a request from a company,known as the "host company" (like a person who hosts a party), to help it find overseas companies. The host company creates a theme, that is, to say exactly what it wants. The Agency then helps it to team up with more host companies from at least two other EU regions who are looking for similar partners.The Agency then publicizes the coming event to attract as many "guests" (visitors) as possible, that is, companies who might be interested in partnerships with the host companies. To do this, Interprise produces, an " Interprise Catalogue" in which the host companies describe themselves and say what kind of partner they are looking for, for example, "a partner in Germany to distribute our products". The EU covers part of the running costs of the event, up to 70,000~ Euros. In order to reach as many people as possible, the agency works through local Chambers of Commerce, who in turn publicize the event to their own members. Each member of Commerce is expected to bring at least fifteen companies. A recent Interprise event and over 200 registered visitors.But Interprise is not an easy idea' to "sell". It is not a trade fair in the usual sense. The average trade fair is like window-shopping: firms set out their goods, and visitors look around to see if there's anything they want. With Interprise, everything is carefully arranged in advance.Foreign companies want a full programme of meetings -- and with the right people.It is too early to say if Interprise is a success, but comments from both host companies and visitors have been very positive, "I've a pocketful of business cards and have made several useful contacts..""Great. We have met some firms that are really interested in becoming distributors. " Of course, they might have made useful contacts at an ordinary trade fair,except that it would have been only by chance.What is Interprise?A.another word for ' enterprise'B.a dating agencyC.a way of matching companies59、The purpose of an Interprise event is toA.buy and sell products.B.meet others with similar interests.C.travel to other countries.60、Interprise catalogues are distributedA.during an Interprise event.B.after an Interprise event.C.before an Interprise event.61、The role of Chambers of Commerce is toA.welcome visitors to the event.B.find the host companies.anize the Interprise event.62、An Interprise event is different from a trade fair becauseA.people meet face to face.B.meetings are planned before the event.C.the EU pays for part of the running costs.63、Host companies are happy with an Interprise event if they areA.made useful contacts.B.promoted their business.C.distributed their product.PARI SIX：Questions 29-4064、For each question64-75, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.RSh Health Problems at the KeyboardDo you use a keyboard in your job?

At the industry's recent annual conference, he focused his talk on Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM).According to Swan, existing customers are between, three and eight times more likely to buy than a non-customer with the same profile, so increasing customer loyalty is important: if you record the measurements of someone's jeans,next time you can offer them a pair that fit exactly; note which hotel guests'ask for ice intheir drinks and produce it next time they visit. Although it is essential for effective CRM to record customer information on a good computer database, the real skill is in interpreting what your customers tell you and knowing what promises they think you have made.Swan believes that success requires an equal mix of market research, delivering what the customer expects, finding any weak areas in the system and asking customers for their after sales opinions and suggestions. "But" he wants, "approach CRM with care. If you can't measure customer response, then it's better to keep to more traditional marketing methods.

Interprise is an EU agency that encourages cross-border business cooperation. It is like a "dating agency" that tries to match people who are looking for love. Interprise helps business to find partners in other countries to join in trading or distribution arrangements.The agency's task is to set up face-to-face meetings with business counterparts from other countries. This is how it works. The agency gets a request from a company,known as the "host company" (like a person who hosts a party), to help it find overseas companies. The host company creates a theme, that is, to say exactly what it wants. The Agency then helps it to team up with more host companies from at least two other EU regions who are looking for similar partners.The Agency then publicizes the coming event to attract as many "guests" (visitors) as possible, that is, companies who might be interested in partnerships with the host companies. To do this, Interprise produces, an " Interprise Catalogue" in which the host companies describe themselves and say what kind of partner they are looking for, for example, "a partner in Germany to distribute our products". The EU covers part of the running costs of the event, up to 70,000~ Euros. In order to reach as many people as possible, the agency works through local Chambers of Commerce, who in turn publicize the event to their own members. Each member of Commerce is expected to bring at least fifteen companies. A recent Interprise event and over 200 registered visitors.But Interprise is not an easy idea' to "sell". It is not a trade fair in the usual sense. The average trade fair is like window-shopping: firms set out their goods, and visitors look around to see if there's anything they want. With Interprise, everything is carefully arranged in advance.Foreign companies want a full programme of meetings -- and with the right people.It is too early to say if Interprise is a success, but comments from both host companies and visitors have been very positive, "I've a pocketful of business cards and have made several useful contacts..""Great. We have met some firms that are really interested in becoming distributors. " Of course, they might have made useful contacts at an ordinary trade fair,except that it would have been only by chance.What is Interprise?A.another word for ' enterprise'B.a dating agencyC.a way of matching companies59、 The purpose of an Interprise event is toA.buy and sell products.B.meet others with similar interests.C.travel to other countries.60、 Interprise catalogues are distributedA.during an Interprise event.B.after an Interprise event.C.before an Interprise event.61、 The role of Chambers of Commerce is toA.welcome visitors to the event.B.find the host companies.anize the Interprise event.62、 An Interprise event is different from a trade fair becauseA.people meet face to face.B.meetings are planned before the event.C.the EU pays for part of the running costs.63、 Host companies are happy with an Interprise event if they areA.made useful contacts.B.promoted their business.C.distributed their product.PARI SIX：Questions 29-4064、 For each question64-75, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.RSh Health Problems at the KeyboardDo you use a keyboard in your job?
