The power of speech is one of the most important possessions of the human race. It makes possible the exchange of ideas between men possible as well as the transmission of ideas from father to son.Part Three. Questions 23 to 30.Interviews conducted by members of the ECE, (Economic Committee of Europe) with enterprises engaged in third-market cooperation have identified several areas in which problems occurred. Many of these problems are characteristic of the particular industrial sector in which the cooperation takes place and cannot be generalized to supply to other sectors.When vehicles and machinery made under cooperation arrangements are launched on new markets, substantial modifications may have to be made in basic features. Such changesmay be dictated by a lack of servicing facilities for the prescribed frequency of service for the standard model and an operating environment that is different form that prevailing in either of the partner's home markets. Since acceptance of the product in question by the client depends upon the manufacturer successfully satisfying his specifications, the partners must closely coordinatetheir ordering procedures in such a way that these changed specifications are communicated in time to the manufacturing plants. If the producing enterprise has a long lead time as a result of internal planning procedures, it may find it difficult to make the necessary changes in the standard model during the time available, to the detriment of its relations with clients in the third market. Clearly, this is an area in which effective managerial techniques can prevent such problems from arising.Rapid fluctuations in demand are characteristic of the market for many of the chemical products manufactured under east-west cooperation arrangement. In order to respond to such shifts in demand, the supplying enterprise must remain in close touch with the market, either directly or through its western partner, in order to adjust its production schedules to take these shifts into account. Otherwise it may find itself with large inventories of unsaleable products while its partner may be in the difficult position of hastening to find4nalternativemarket for the amounts no longer required by the target market.In the turnkey-plant sector, partner enterpriese often discover that they derive totally different results from using the same local subcontractors. According to several western plant contractors interviewed, while the eastern partner obtained complete satisfaction from local suppliers, the western partner found little cooperation, forthcoming long delivery delays, and other shortcomings. This difference usually arises in the case of developing countries in which the western firm has no experience and the eastern enterprise may have been active for many years. Obviously in such cases it is recommended that the western firm rely on its partner's established links with local suppliers instead of attempting to deal with them on its own.Consumer goods make under cooperation arrangements and supplied to third markets often pass through a period of poor buyer acceptance, which is due to inappropriate or insufficient packaging. Since many branded consumer goods are distinguished from one another at the point of sale mainly by their packages ,the key to the successful introduction of a new product in a third market is correct assessement of consumer preferences. This assessment can best be carried out in the market-place by using up-to-date techniques for measuring buyer response to package shape, colour and presentation.

You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A Time management: the importance of punctuality in all aspects of work B Personal management: how to manage employees effectively C Customer relations: how to set up an effective customer services system正确答案：解析： A. Time management: the importance of punctuality in all aspects of work Punctuality is the most obvious form of loyalty one can display to the company, because it has two underlined meanings. On one hand, it means planning things ahead. The simple task of arriving ten minutes before your manager shows up in the morning shows them that you can take the initiative and think for yourself. On the other hand, it means trust. If you make a habit of keeping people waiting for you, they’re not going to trust you with the work that needs to be done. B. Personal management: how to manage employees effectively There are four steps to manage employees effectively. Step 1: Get to know your employees, to know their partners’ names, their kids’ names and something basic about their outside interests. Step 2: Deal quickly with problem employees or employees with negative attitudes, even if their work is fine. Step 3: Keep your employees up to date on their performance. Step 4: Address issues in private rather than in front of other colleagues, but feel free to offer congratulations or positive information in front of other employees. C. Customer relations: how to set up an effective customer services system There are four steps: first of all, know what competitors do for customer services, and pick up the merits from each. Secondly, decide whether you want to save the bottom line with every customer, or whether you want to create good will amongst your clients even when it comes as a hit to the bottom line. Thirdly, put the customer service rules in writing for all members of customer service department to follow. And last, test the employees, new and old, on the material regularly, and ask what customers feel regularly to improve the work.SECTION 2 MINI PRESENTATIONS (ABOUT 6 MIN)In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about 1 minute. You have 1 minute toprepare your ideas.In this part of the test, you are given a discussion topic. You have 30 seconds to look at the task prompt, an example of which is below, and then about three minutes to discuss the topic with your partner. After that, the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic. For two candidates Educational Sponsorship The company you work for is considering funding a regional educational project for 16-to-18-year-old students interested in following a business course. You have been asked to makerecommendations for this scheme. Discuss and decide together: ?how the project could be used to promote the name of the company ?how to monitor the progress and outcomes of the project.

You have been asked to makerecommendations for this scheme. Discuss and decide together: ?how the project could be used to promote the name of the company ?what the long-term aims of the project might be ?how to monitor the progress and outcomes of the project.正确答案：解析：For two candidates:Educational Sponsorship ?how the project could be used to promote the name of the company The name of this program must be related with company’s name. And then, the media should be invited on the day when the program is launched. ?how to monitor the progress and outcomes of the project The company should have one or one group staff to monitor the program and give the report regularly. For three candidates:Educational Sponsorship ?how the project could be used to promote the name of the company The name of this program must be related with company’s name. And then, the media should be invited on the day when the program is launched. ?what the long-term aims of the project might be The benefits of sponsorship most often cited are awareness and image building of the brand, product, and company. Among other benefits are that sponsorship can improve the impact and memorability of the marketing message, enhance the relevance of the brand to the target market,generate the desire to purchase the brand to “reward” the sponsor and heighten the loyalty of those working for and with the company. Sponsorships allow companies to distinguish themselves from the vast field of competitors prevalent in other forms of advertising. Advertisers also find they can get more “bang for their buck”by sponsoring an event itself rather than paying for 30 seconds of ad time during the event.。

BEC商务英语（高级）听力模拟试卷90(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREEPART ONE听力原文：You will hear a business presentation about how to solve business problems. As you listen, for questions 1—12, complete the notes, using up to three words. You will hear the recording twice.(10 seconds pause)Today let’s talk about business - about how to solve business problem. One difficult thing about doing business is knowing how to solve problems. Why is it important to know how to solve business problems? Well, people who do business together sometimes disagree, but they don’t know how to work together to solve their problems in a good way.Solving problems in business is especially difficult if the business people come from different cultures -for example, from the United States and China -because many times different cultures have different ways of solving problem. When American business people talk, they are open about their problems. They talk about their opinions and feelings, and don’t hide their feelings. Usually, Americans want their business associates to be open about their problems. When you are doing business with Americans, it is important to know how to solve problems openly.Today I’m going to talk about four steps for solving business problems in a open way. I’m going to explain each step.The first step is to listen carefully to your business associate. To do this, you must stop thinking about your own side of the problem for a few minutes. That is, stop and listen. Try to understand everything about your business associate’s side of the problem. When you are listening, don’t interrupt. If you interrupt, he or she can’t talk about their side of the problem. Just listen carefully, because disagreements are often caused when we don’t really understand our business associate.The second step is to talk about your side of the problem. After listening, it’s your turn to explain your side of the problem carefully so you business associate can understand. However, it is very important not to insult or blame. If you insult or blame your business associate, he or she will get angry and then won’t want to talk to you anymore. You both have talked about your side of the problem. Now you are ready for the third step. The third step is finding a solution together. Sometimes it is difficult to solve a problem because each person has a different solution. They each think “My idea is best.” If there are two different solutions, and people want to use their own solutions, you can’t solve the problem. Instead, you both need to think of a solution together. That is step 3 - find a solution together. Talk about all the possible solutions, and then agree on the one that is good for both of you.We’re moving to the fourth step - the fourth step is to write down an agreement. The agreement should tell what each person will do. Write it down so that you will remember the solution - you will remember the actions that will solve the problem. Finally, both people should thank each other, and make plans to talk again in the future.(10 seconds pause) You will hear a business presentation about how to solve business problems.Asyou listen, for questions 1—12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.You will hear the recording twice.

May we now continue our discussions on dyestuffs and organic pigments?M: Yes, I believe we have reached the stage where we should explore the feasibility of setting up an agency relationship with your company. I have reviewed our notes on our previous discussions and we have pretty well concluded that on this particular visit we should focus on your dyestuffs.F: That will be fine. In other words, you would like to leave the possible importation of our inorganic and organic pigments for future consideration?M: Yes, that is correct. We believe that Galaxy needs to do its homework on these commodities. We would like to complete some further market research studies before making any commitments to you in regard to this.F: We appreciate your candour, Mr. Mitchell. Whenever you wish to reopen discussions concerning these commodities, we will look forward to hearing from Galaxy.M: Now during our earlier discussions, you mentioned that your minimum quantity of shipping dyestuffs offshore is one container, holding between 10 and 14 metric tons.F: That is correct, Mr. Mitchell.M: What would be your agent’s commission on these minimum quantities?F: We, too, have had some internal discussions on this matter and we can offer you an agent’ s commission of 2% of the selling price on all dyes.M: Some of the dyes will be more readily marketable than others. For example, I can foresee that, with the right amount of promotional effort, we would be able to develop a significant market for your reactive dyes. Nevertheless, we would have to launch a fairly extensive, and no doubt costly, promotional program to introduce these dyes to the end users. There would be a very considerable first time advertising expenditure, followed by regular outlays for reinforcement advertising as these products become known and the end users begin to apply them.F: As you know, the reactive dyes are considerably more expensive than the sulfur dyes. Therefore, any sales of these commodities would generate significant agency revenues.M: During the initial stages, however, most of these commissions would be required to pay for the promotional expenses, which will be very substantial indeed. Have you considered the feasibility of assuming financial responsibility for at least a portion of the required advertising campaign? We would visualize some television and perhaps radio advertising, but primarily inserts into local daily newspapers and trade magazines.F: We have not previously provided our agents with any, what you might call, promotional allowances. Advertising of our products is strictly the responsibility of the agent.M: Under these circumstances, it would take a very long time before Galaxy would be able to recoup its up front expenditures.F: Of course, if you were to import and market larger quantities from the outset, your commission would increaseaccordingly.M: Which would, of course, undoubtedly increase your profits as well.You now have 10 minutes to transfer youranswers to the answer sheet.(10 seconds pause)You will hear part of a business negotiation between Mr. Mitchell and Madam Li. For each question 23—30, mark one letter A, B or C for the correct answer. You will hear the recording twice.23．What does the catalogue include?A．Agrochemicals exports.B．Dyestuff and pigments.C．Insecticides and fertilizers.正确答案：A24．What would be Mr. Mitchell’s main concern among the products in the catalogue?A．Dyestuffs.B．Insecticides.C．Agrochemicals.正确答案：B25．How many catalogues would Mr. Mitchell take home?A．Five.B．Six.C．Seven.正确答案：B26．What does Mr. Mitchell concentrate on this visit?A．Dyestuffs.B．Insecticides.C．Agrochemicals.正确答案：A27．What is the maximum quantity that one container holds?A．10 metric tons.B．12 metric tons.C．14 metric tons.正确答案：C28．How much does Madam Li offer for the agent’s commission on these minimum quantities?A．2% of the selling price of dyes.B．2% of the price of all dyes.C．2% of the revenues.正确答案：A29．What is the initial thing that Mr. Mitchell will do to develop a market for reactive dyes?A．Developing more end users.B．Setting appropriate prices of dyes.C．Launching a promotional program.正确答案：C30．What does Mr. Mitchell ask for towards the end of the negotiation?A．He asks if Madam Li’s company would offer some promotional allowances.B．He requires Madam Li’s company to pay for the advertising campaign.C．He asks Madam Li’s company to take the financial responsibility of selling products.正确答案：A。

2021年商务英语考试BEC高级模拟试题

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

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

We were told to make a plan during the later stages of our education and continue with it through our working lives.(0)_____ some people still see careers in this way. However, to pursue a single option for life has always been unrealistic.Planning for a single career assumes that we set out with a full understanding of our likes and dislikes and the employment opportunities open to us. (9)____ For most people this degree of certainty about the future does not exist.Our initial choice of career path and employer is often based on inadequate knowledge and false perceptions. But with age and experience, we develop new interests and aptitudes and our priorities alter.

Read this text about the problem of Barclays Bank.The New LookWhen Sir John Quinton, then chairman of Barclays Bank, was given his marching orders last April, Britains biggest bank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits, Andrew Buxton, the banks managing director and an offspring of its founding families, was a pointed chairman and chief executive, with effect from January 1st of next year. It seemed a glorious victory for good business management. Is the problem solve do certainly not.1. No sooner had Mr. Buxton been appointed chairman and chief executive than bigshareholders and quite a few board members began quietly to question his ability to do both jobs at once. Now, weeks before he is due to move up, the questions are louder. Many wish the bank had seized the opportunity Lasy April to separate the two top posts. And privately. Some wonder whether Mr. Buxtonis the right man for either one. What started as a thoroughly British Whispering Campaign has assumed much bigger dimensions..2. Mr. Buxton has suffered it all, but in truth he has no way out. After weeks of talking to shareholders and discussing with his non-executive directors, he has accepted that Barclays will separate the top jobs sometimes in the future. How7 He says that there has been no formal discussion of it in the boardroom.3. Formally or informally, it has been agreed that Mr. Buxton will not be moved from his chairmanship, and that Barclays must find a strong chief executive. Opinions differ as to whether this person should be chosen from inside or outside the bank. Several board members believe that there is no ideal candidate inside Barclays.4. Neither shareholders nor non-executive directors want to wait long. If the right candidate can be found, the bank could combine the announcement of a new appointment with its annual results at the end of March. Mr. Buxton stressed the importance of getting this next step right, particularly since any appointment will mean overturning a management reorganization that was announced only eight months ago.Questions 13-16.
