BEC商务英语(初级)口语练习试卷4(题后含答案及解析)
BEC商务英语（初级）口语练习试卷4(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. INTERVIEW 2. MINI PRESENTATIONSSECTION 1 INTERVIEW (ABOUT 3 MIN)1．In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topi C．You have to choose one of thetopics from the two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN? CHOOSING A BUSINESS COURSE INSTRUCTORS SUBJECTS COVERED RELEV ANCE TO THE PRESENT JOB B WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN? GIVING A PRESENTATION TOPIC TYPE OF AUDIENCE CONTROL OF RHYTHM正确答案：A: Personally speaking, three things are important when choosing a business course. The first is the instructors. If there are excellent instructors giving this course, it will be attractive for sure. Everybody wants to learn from good tutors after all. Secondly, if the training course covers a wide range of subjects, it will be instructive for the trainees in different aspects. The more subjects are covered, the more knowledge we will acquire. Thirdly, I will select a training course, which is relevant to my present job．My work demands fresh minds and new skills. It couldn’t be better if I got some detailed guidance to my job from this course. B: The topic of the presentation is very important. If we choose a boring topic to talk about, we’re facing a disastrous outcome. As long as you know what stuff the audience may hate to hear, never mention it. In order to choose the ideal topic, you should mark off your audience. A qualified presenter is good at marking off different types of audience from their occupations and social status. Then he picks up his method accordingly in hopes of positive reactions. Now you have chosen an interesting topic and you can mark off your audience, but you are not a master yet before you can harness the rhythm at will. Don’t babble to show off your eloquence. Pause from now and then, allowing your argument to sink in. 涉及知识点：口语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 to prepare your ideas.2．In this part of the test the examiner reads out a scenario and gives you some prompt material in the form of pictures or words. You have 30 seconds to look at the prompt card, an example of which is below，and then about two minutes to discuss the scenario with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic．For two or three candidates Scenario I’mgoing to describe a situation. Your company is going to hold a business reception and you are in charge of organizing it. Talk together about the topics you could include when you hold a business reception, and decide which three things are the most important. Here are some ideas to help you. Prompt materials Follow-on questions What qualities should the hosts and hostess have? Do you think food is important in the reception?(Why?/Why not?) What’s the role of entertainment? Do you think souvenirs are necessary?(Why?/Why not?) Would you introduce the guests?(Why?/Why not?)正确答案：A: I think the hosts are very important when holding a business reception. Although beautiful girls and handsome boys are pleasant, maybe they’re lack of experience. What we need for host and hostess are seasoned grown-ups who can handle complicated situations. B: I agree with you. But don’t forget food. We Chinese people are famous for our hospitalities. We usually give grand banquet to entertain distinguished guests. Chinese cuisine is delicious and healthy, so it’s no problem to give visitors a happy surprise. A: Well, there should also be entertainment. Our guests need something to please their eyes and ears, too. To liven things up, we should call up a drove of singers, dancers, and even acrobats, if possible, to offer them a real treat. B: You are right. How about souvenirs? People would be happy when they receive gifts. We can take advantage of this psychology to win their good feeling. By handing out unique souvenirs, our company could be better remembered. A: Last but not the least, introductions to the guests. People in a reception should not only say hello to their acquaintances, but also make new friends. The way of self-introduction has rather limited effect, however, at this moment, the host and hostess should be honored if they arrange contacts between strangers naturally. Follow-on questions Hosts and hostess should be seasoned grown-ups who can handle complicated situation. Yes, I think so. Chinese food is delicious and healthy, and we Chinese pay a lot of attention to food, even foreign guests like Chinese food very much. A great meal can give guests a happy surprise. Entertainment can please our guests’eyes and ears, and make the reception much more interesting. I think souvenirs are necessary. People would be happy when they receive gifts. By handing out unique souvenirs, our company could be better remembered. Of course. I would introduce the guests. Making new friends is one of the most important purposes for people to attend a reception. The host and hostess should be honored if they arrange contacts betweenstrangers naturally. 涉及知识点：口语。

考试内容涵盖了商务英语中的听力、口语、阅读和写作四项基本技能。
对于想要在商务领域中取得成功的人来说，获得BEC证书无疑是一种重要的资格证明。
以下是对BEC初级第四辑真题答案的解析。
在BEC初级第四辑中，有多个部分需要考生完成，包括听力、阅读、口语和写作。
在这篇文章中，我们将侧重于对听力和阅读部分的解析。
首先是听力部分。
听力是商务交流中非常重要的一项技能。
在BEC初级考试中，听力部分着重考察考生在商务场景中理解和应对的能力。
考生需要通过听力材料回答相关问题。
在第四辑中，听力材料主要涉及商务会议、电话沟通、业务谈判等实际场景。
对于听力部分的解答，考生需要注意以下几点。
首先，要认真听清每个对话或演讲的内容。
在电脑上进行模拟考试时，可以使用耳机来提高听力效果。
其次，要注意对话中的关键信息，如日期、时间、地点、人名等。
这些信息可能与后面的问题有关。
最后，要在规定的时间内完成全部听力题目，并仔细检查答案。
接下来是阅读部分。
阅读在商务英语中占据重要地位，尤其是对于了解商业报道、行业动态和市场趋势等方面来说。
在BEC初级考试中，阅读部分需要考生对商务文本进行理解和分析。
文本可能包括商务信函、报告、公告等。
考生在解答阅读题目时，应该注意以下几点。
首先，仔细阅读文本，理解主旨和关键信息。
可以在阅读前先浏览题目，了解问题的要求。
其次，注意对文本中的词语、短语和句子进行理解和推断。
有时候答案可能并不直接出现在文本中，而是需要根据上下文进行推断。
最后，要注意时间管理，尽量在规定时间内完成所有题目。
除了听力和阅读部分，口语和写作部分也是BEC初级考试的重要内容。
口语部分要求考生通过配对练习、话题演讲等形式进行口语表达。
写作部分要求考生根据提示写一封商务信函或发表观点。
综上所述，BEC初级第四辑真题的答案解析涉及到听力、阅读、口语和写作四个部分。

If there is not enough information to answer 'Right' or ' Wrong', choose ' Doesn't say'.For each sentence (16-22), mark one letter (A, B.or C) on your Answer Sheet.Sally Patterson, journalist Last year, Sally Patterson left her permanent job with a newspaper and is now a selfemployed journalist. Why did she do it? "I had no control over my work," she says, "and that mattered more to me than earning lots of money. Actually, leaving my job wasn't as difficult as I'd expected, because I already had plenty of contacts in the publishing industry.Unlike my last job, though, I'm mostly in touch with the magazines and newspapers I write for by email, and as I don't work in an'office, I may not see anyone for days. But that's a welcome relief!"Isn't it hard being self-employed? "The biggest danger when you become self-employed is saying "yes" to everything," Sally says. "I make sure I turn work down if I haven't got the time for it. And that's a question of planning： I spendan hour every week working out what I'm doing for the next few months. "And what about the benefits? "Well, at the newspaper I always concentrated on economic matters, but now I can choose to work on a wider range of projects than before.And being my own boss has made me feel more confident about the other areas of my life,too.

They'd get a gold watch at the end of their productive years and a dinner featuring speeches by their bosses praising their lovalty. But today's rich capitalists have regressed to the "survival of the fittest" ideas and their loyalty extends not to their workers or even to their stockholders but only to themselves.Instead of giving out gold watches worth a hundred or so dollars for forty or so years of work, they grab tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars as they sell for their own profit the company they may have been with for only a few years.The new rich selfishly act on their own to unfairly grab the wealth that the country as a whole has produced. The top 1 percent of the population now has wealth equal to the whole bottom 95 percent and they want more. Their selfishness is most shamelessly expressed in downsizing and outsourcing because these business maneuvers don't act to create new jobs as the founder of new industries used to do,but only out jobs while keeping the money value of what those jobs produced for themselves.To keep the money machine working smoothly the rich have bought all the politicians from the top down. The president himself is constantly leaving Washington and the business at the nation because he is summoned to "fundraising dinners" where fat cats pay a thousand or so dollars a plate to worm their way into government not through service but through donations of vast amounts of money. Once on the in side theyhave both political, parties busily tearing up all the regulations that protect the rest of us from the greed of the rich.The middle class used to be loyal to the free enterprise system. In the past, the people of the middle class mostly thought they'd be rich themselves someday or have a good shot at becoming rich. But nowadays income is being distributed more and more unevenly and corporate loyalty is a thing of the past. The middle class may also wake up to forget its loyalty to the so-called free enterprise system altogether and the government which governs only the rest of us while letting the corporations do what they please with our jobs. As things stand, if somebody doesn't wake up, the middle class is on a path to being downsized all the way to the bottom of society.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that people used to place a high value onA．job security.B．bosses' praise.C．corporate loyalty.59、 The author is strongly critical of today's rich capitalists forA．not giving necessary assistance to laid-off workers.B．maximizing their profits at the expense of workers.C．not setting up long-term goals for their companies.60、 The immediate consequence of the new capitalists' practice isA．loss of corporate reputation.B．lower pay for the employees.C．a higher rate of unemployment.61、 The rich try to sway the policy of the government byA．occupying important positions in both political parties.B．making monetary contributions to decision-makers.C．pleasing the public with generous donations.62、 Currently income is influenced byA．hardworking.B．loyalty.C．some complicated elements.63、 What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A．To urge the middle class to wake up and protect their own interests.B．To warn the government of the shrinking of the American middle class.C．To persuade the government to change its current economic policies.PARI SIX：Questions 29-4064、 Read the new report below.Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C.For each question64-75, mark one letter (A, B or C) onyour Answer Sheet.Since Burnaby's Leather Goods was made in 1994, the company has reported one success story after another.

The domestic British market saw further steady growth but could be overtaken by US sales next year. As in 1997, sales in the USA rose sharply with the successful release of three new computer games. However, hopes of the European market showing the same rate of growth were affected by a strong pound.Computer games increased their domination of sales in 1998 with the football game The Golden Boot: France 98 selling over 100,000 units in World Cup year. Other sports titles are now amongst the company's top brands.The company also enjoyed a sharp rise in sales of educational products. Our new range of interactive multimedia products, Schoolware, launched in late 1997, is now a top-selling brand. Further Schoolware titles to be launched this year should ensure continued growth in this market.Sales figures for 1998 show very clearly the changing face of the company's activities. Millennium Software is now a producer of entertainment and educational products. In order to adapt to these markets, the company will have to expand by increasing its product range and reducing its development times.Moreover, the company faces new challenges in distribution. Large retail chains with pan-European buying power are becoming increasingly dominant in the distribution of computer software. These superstores now offer competitive prices and a narrow product range based on topselling titles. With computer shops, they now account for nearly two thirds of sales.16.

The company distributed around five million catalogues, a figure which is unchanged on the previous year, and we now have 98 stores, an increase of twelve. As was widely reported in the media, merger negotiations with another catalogue retailer ended without agreement.It is true that this has been a difficult year, with a fall in trading profits, largely resulting from weaker consumer spending, but not helped by disappointing productivity levels in the stores. It is also a cause of worry that production costs are continuing to rise. However, changes in the way we deliver to stores have led to considerable savings.With the aim of improving customer service and shopping convenience, we have introduced a number of new services in the last twelve months. Shopping by internet was added to the this has been good. In stores there are now information screens for customers to check the availability of goods they want to purchase. Together with other existing systems, which reduce queues and tell store customers when their orders are ready for collection, this is giving positive results.Another change has been the replacement of the Traditional and Modem catalogues with a single catalogue. As a result, customers who used the Modem catalogue now have over 30% more products to choose from, although we have dropped the less popular lines. Annual printing costs already show the benefit of this move, andsales are expected to start growing within the next year.We have had to change our plans for the coming year. It is clear that shoppers expect staff in stores to be both friendly and efficient. A major programme to raise standards will be Introduced at once, while the planned improvements to store facilities will be delayed for twelve months. The proposed interactive TV shopping service will not now go ahead, and neither will the planned redevelopment of the corporate headquarters.Bennetts is changing fast. and we are confident that the newly appointed members of the management team will help us to improve sales within the next twelve months,' even if, as expected, there is no recovery In the economic climate. Our aim is to spend this time making sure that the company is as efficient as possible, and to delay our strategy of considering mergers or takeovers.23. In the last year Bennetts hasA. opened a number of new stores.B. merged with another catalogue company.C. increased the number of catalogues it delivers.24. One improvement in the last year is that Bennetts has managed toA. spend less on manufacturing.B. increase productivity.C. reduce distribution costs.25. As a result of developments in the last year, customers can nowA. find out if goods are in stock before ordering them.B. collect their orders without queuing in the stores.C. order goods by telephone as well as in stores.26. Replacing two catalogues with one has meant thatA. all the lines from both catalogues are available.B. the catalogue has now become cheaper to produce.C. sales from the stores are already increasing.27.

Tidy desk, efficient mind. Untidy desk, busy mind. But this doesn"t fit Gordon Jackman, who started business software producer Quillatic. He works at home, in the untidiest kitchen I"ve ever seen, yet he strangely hates untidiness in business more than anything else. At the same time he admits that he has little interest in detail.Jackman describes his colleagues as "sweepers". He explains: "I can only get as far as the first 80% of an idea, but I know this weakness, so I leave it to everyone else to finish my ideas, to make sure details aren"t forgotten. People who don"t know their weaknesses run **panies and have **panies."Jackman is a strong believer in testing people"s personal qualities as part of the recruitment process, and he and his 60 employees were all tested. He admits that such a strong belief in this is unusual in business, but adds, "Have you ever noticed how teachers seem to be the same type of person? People do seem to select the job that"s right for their type."Most of his ideas, he says, are not new **e from reading just about every management book that"s published. "You wouldn"t expect a doctor not to have read anything about medicine since qualifying, yet with management it seems to be allowed," he says. "You have to read whatever"s out there. Even if a book gives you only one idea, it"s something you didn"t have before." Jackman believes in developing his staff, but business **e first. "I believe in appointing people to do what they can and not more. So, for example, at the moment I have a very good salesman who has **pleted a sale but won"t close the deal himself as he doesn"t have enough experience yet."At the same time, he has strong ideas about rewards. "Sales staff can earn as much as managers, because I recognise that if one person"s doing a great job at managing, and another at selling, there"s no reason for a difference in pay. And although experience may make a difference, in the end it"s actions that count."Running a company from a kitchen may not be recommended by many writers on management,but for Gordon Jackman it"s a great success.1. In the first paragraph, the writer suggests that Gordon Jackman isA. unsuccessful in business.B. typical of computer experts.C. difficult to fully understand.2. Jackman uses the word "sweepers" to describe people whoA. finish off things that someone else starts.B. start things but don"t finish them.C. work with a project from beginning to end.3. Jackman believes thatA. companies need to employ people who are of a similar type.B. people usually look for jobs which suit the type of person they are.C. tests of personal qualities are taken too seriously by **panies.4. Jackman believes that both business people and doctorsA. have to be good at management.B. should keep up to date with their field.C. need to select reading material carefully.5. What point does Jackman make about his staff?A. Employees should be trained to do particular jobs.B. Staff development matters less than the success of a deal.C. Teamwork is essential for carrying out all tasks.6. Jackman pays staff according toA. how well they do their job.B. their position in **pany.C. the amount of experience they have.PART SIX●Read the article below about a **pany.●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 or C) on your Answer Sheet.A success storyTony Pearson was appointed to the board of Greens, the **pany, as Chief Executive nine months ago.
