You have been asked to check the information below about the Burlington Fields Tennis Festival.Task: Read the article on Burlington Field opposite, then say whether t he following statements are TRUE or FALSE.

The festival runs over a fortnig ht, always the last 2 weeks in July, and draws huge crowds of visitors, hoping to enjoy the thrills of the tournament and the lively excitement of the crowde d bars and eating places. There is always the chance, especially if you keep y our wits about you, of rubbing shoulders, or even sharing a table, with a star of the tennis world!The enormous complex covers over a square kilometre. There are 8 entran ce points from the spacious car parks and 2 from the rail station. A further en trance point is available to people arriving on the riverboats or by helicopter. The helicopter landing point has been very frequently used in the last 5 years.Fifteen courts provide enough top class tennis for the appetites of the mos t demanding fans. With the exception of Champions' Court, which admits book ed-in-advance badgeholders only, visitors can move freely from one court to a nother and have access to all but the Members’ Restaurant. Such names as W inners' Gallery, the Ball and Racquet, the Seafood Bar and The Tie Break Bar (this last being really popular with younger enthusiasts) draw in the customers from the time the gates open at 1000 hours until the last match has been pl ayed around 2100.All this movement of so many people inevitably brings its problems. An ar my of officials, waiters, security men etc is needed to ensure the smooth runn ing of the festival, and, as always there are occasions when matters go wrong. Recent festivals have seen significant increases in the number of counterfeit-t icket sellers, and pickpockets have created their share of misery, as bags and wallets have gone missing. There are signs warning people, but it seems ever yone can lose concentration for a few seconds –and that is all a thief needs!The facts and figures below bear out what an immense and complex affair the festival has BECome:In 1997 there were:1,400 caterers representing 200 firms providing food and drink in over 80 outlets330 guards and security men, controlling entrances and exits, patrolling cr owds and dealing with problems like lost children, people taken ill, and other difficulties300 court officials, including 45 umpires who cover 2 matches a day, and teams of line judges230 drivers, there for the exclusive use of players and officials coming to and from the festival. Drivers need a clean licence and, above all, a good knowledge of the area's streets and hotels.Many other workers, from cleaners to programme sellers, make up this we ll-drilled army.QUESTION 3Situation: You have been asked to check the details of a number of office-cleaning agencies.Task: Read the information opposite and answer the questions below in the space provided using no more than 3 words.Complete sentences are NOT required.ANSWERS1 Which firm has been established the longest?2 Which firm has no listed contracts?3 What is the charge per sq metre with Acme Cleaners?4 How many firms employ more men than women?5 How many firms have more than 20% staff turnover?6 How many banks are mentioned in the ’listed contracts’?7 Does Spick & Span offer full window cleaning services?8 Is Davies Hygiene fastest in dealing with complaints?9 Which company based outside London was most recently started?10 Which London-based company has the lowest staff turnover?11 How many companies carry more than ￡1 million insurance cover?12 Is the shortest contract available 3 months?13 Has Office Clean more listed contracts than ABC Clean?14 Can you telephone complaints to Dusters?15 Will Spot On clean your windows outside?16 Has Spick & Span more female employees than Dusters?17 Which firm is slowest to deal with complaints?18 Which firm has the highest cost per sq metre?19 How many firms clean exterior windows?20 Which London-based firm offers the cheapest daily cleaning service?(20 marks)QUESTION 3 CONTINUED(图片略)QUESTION 4Situation: Read the following conversation beween 2 employees of the neilson CarpetFactory in Phuket.Task: Complete the Accident Report form using the information in the conversationbelow.Anna Leow We had a nasty accident this morning.

They can be used to discuss new projects, review progress, or make important decisions. However, many meetings are not as effective as they could be. There are several reasons for this.One problem is that meetings are often not well - planned. People may not know the purpose of the meeting in advance, or there may be no clear agenda. 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. This means that not all ideas are heard and considered.In addition, meetings can sometimes be too long. People may start to lose focus and become bored, especially if there are no breaks. This can also affect the quality of the decisions made.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Business meetings are very important.B. There are problems with business meetings.C. How to make business meetings more effective.2. According to the passage, why are some meetings not well - planned?A. People are too busy to plan.B. There is no one in charge of planning.C.

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
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

A ___________________________________________________________ ________________ (30 marks) QUESTION 2 CONTINUED BURLINGTON FIELDS – T HE HOME OF FIRST CLASS TENNIS Since 1979 Burlington Field has been one of the m ost important sporting events in the western world, attracting world class players and receiving media coverage from 120 countries around the globe. The festival runs over a fortnight, always the last 2 weeks in July, and draws huge crowds of visito rs, hoping to enjoy the thrills of the tournament and the lively excitement of the crowded bars and eating places. There is always the chance, especially if you keepyour wits about you, of rubbing shoulders, or even sharing a table, with a star of the tennis world! The enormous complex covers over a square kilometre. There ar e 8 entrance points from the spacious car parks and 2 from the rail station. A furt her entrance point is available to people arriving on the riverboats or by helicopt er. The helicopter landing point has been very frequently used in the last 5 years.Fifteen courts provide enough top class tennis for the appetites of the most d emanding fans. With the exception of Champions' Court, which admits booked-in-advan ce badgeholders only, visitors can move freely from one court to another and have a ccess to all but the Members’ Restaurant. Such names as Winners' Gallery, the Ball and Racquet, the Seafood Bar and The Tie Break Bar (this last being really popular with younger enthusiasts) draw in the customers from the time the gates open at 10 00 hours until the last match has been played around 2100. All this movement of so many people inevitably brings its problems. An army of officials, waiters, secu rity men etc is needed to ensure the smooth running of the festival, and, as always there are occasions when matters go wrong. Recent festivals have seen significant increases in the number of counterfeit-ticket sellers, and pickpockets have created their share of misery, as bags and wallets have gone missing. There are signs warn ing people, but it seems everyone can lose concentration for a few seconds – and t hat is all a thief needs! The facts and figures below bear out what an immense and complex affair the festival has BECome: In 1997 there were: 1,400 cater ers representing 200 firms providing food and drink in over 80 outlets 330 guar ds and security men, controlling entrances and exits, patrolling crowds and dealing with problems like lost children, people taken ill, and other difficulties 300 court officials, including 45 umpires who cover 2 matches a day, and teams of line judges 230 drivers, there for the exclusive use of players and officials comin g to and from the festival. Drivers need a clean licence and, above all, a good knowledge of the area's streets and hotels. Many other workers, from cleaners to p rogramme sellers, make up this well-drilled army.QUESTION 3 Situation: You have been asked to check the details of a number of office-cleaningagencies. Task: Read the information opposite and answer the questions below in the space provided using no more than 3 words. Complete sentences are NOTrequired. ANSWERS 1 Which firm has been established the longest 2 Which firm has no listedcontracts 3 What is the charge per sq metre with Acme Cleaners 4 How many firms employ more men thanwomen 5 How many firms have more than 20% staffturnover 6 How many banks are mentioned in the ’listed contracts’7 Does Spick & Span offer full window cleaning services 8 Is Davies Hygiene fastest in dealing with complaints 9 Which company based outside London was most recently started 10 Which London-based company has the lowest staff turnover 11 How many companies carry more than ￡1 million insurance cover 12 Is the shortest contract available 3 months 13 Has Office Clean more listed contracts than ABC Clean 14 Can you telephone complaints toDusters 15 Will Spot On clean your windowsoutside 16 Has Spick & Span more female employees than Dusters 17 Which firm is slowest to deal withcomplaints 18 Which firm has the highest cost per sqmetre 19 How many firms clean exteriorwindows 20 Which London-based firm offers the cheapest daily cleaning service (20 marks) QUESTION 3 CONTINUED(图片略) QUESTION 4 Situation: Read the following conversation beween 2 employees of the neilson Carpet Factory in Phuket.

The festival runs over a fortnig ht, always the last 2 weeks in July, and draws huge crowds of visitors, hoping to enjoy the thrills of the tournament and the lively excitement of the crowde d bars and eating places. There is always the chance, especially if you keep y our wits about you, of rubbing shoulders, or even sharing a table, with a star of the tennis world!The enormous complex covers over a square kilometre. There are 8 entran ce points from the spacious car parks and 2 from the rail station. A further en trance point is available to people arriving on the riverboats or by helicopter. The helicopter landing point has been very frequently used in the last 5 years.Fifteen courts provide enough top class tennis for the appetites of the mos t demanding fans. With the exception of Champions' Court, which admits book ed-in-advance badgeholders only, visitors can move freely from one court to a nother and have access to all but the Members’ Restaurant. Such names as W inners' Gallery, the Ball and Racquet, the Seafood Bar and The Tie Break Bar (this last being really popular with younger enthusiasts) draw in the customers from the time the gates open at 1000 hours until the last match has been pl ayed around 2100.All this movement of so many people inevitably brings its problems. An ar my of officials, waiters, security men etc is needed to ensure the smooth runn ing of the festival, and, as always there are occasions when matters go wrong. Recent festivals have seen significant increases in the number of counterfeit-t icket sellers, and pickpockets have created their share of misery, as bags and wallets have gone missing. There are signs warning people, but it seems ever yone can lose concentration for a few seconds –and that is all a thief needs!The facts and figures below bear out what an immense and complex affair the festival has BECome:In 1997 there were:1,400 caterers representing 200 firms providing food and drink in over 80 outlets330 guards and security men, controlling entrances and exits, patrolling cr owds and dealing with problems like lost children, people taken ill, and other difficulties300 court officials, including 45 umpires who cover 2 matches a day, and teams of line judges230 drivers, there for the exclusive use of players and officials coming to and from the festival. Drivers need a clean licence and, above all, a good knowledge of the area's streets and hotels.Many other workers, from cleaners to programme sellers, make up this we ll-drilled army.QUESTION 3Situation: You have been asked to check the details of a number of office-cleaning agencies.Task: Read the information opposite and answer the questions below in the space provided using no more than 3 words.Complete sentences are NOT required.ANSWERS1 Which firm has been established the longest?2 Which firm has no listed contracts?3 What is the charge per sq metre with Acme Cleaners?4 How many firms employ more men than women?5 How many firms have more than 20% staff turnover?6 How many banks are mentioned in the ’listed contracts’?7 Does Spick & Span offer full window cleaning services?8 Is Davies Hygiene fastest in dealing with complaints?9 Which company based outside London was most recently started?10 Which London-based company has the lowest staff turnover?11 How many companies carry more than ￡1 million insurance cover?12 Is the shortest contract available 3 months?13 Has Office Clean more listed contracts than ABC Clean?14 Can you telephone complaints to Dusters?15 Will Spot On clean your windows outside?16 Has Spick & Span more female employees than Dusters?17 Which firm is slowest to deal with complaints?18 Which firm has the highest cost per sq metre?19 How many firms clean exterior windows?20 Which London-based firm offers the cheapest daily cleaning service?(20 marks)QUESTION 3 CONTINUED(图片略)QUESTION 4Situation: Read the following conversation beween 2 employees of the neilson CarpetFactory in Phuket.Task: Complete the Accident Report form using the information in the conversationbelow.Anna Leow We had a nasty accident this morning.
