BEC商务英语(高级)阅读模拟试卷127(题后含答案及解析)

BEC商务英语（高级）阅读模拟试卷127(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREE 4. PART FOUR 5. PART FIVE 6. PART SIXPART ONELook at the statements below and the five extracts from newspaper articles about Chinese CPI figures in five months on the opposile page. Which extract(A, B, C, D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to? For each 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. There is an example at the beginning(0).Example:0 In the last two months, CR growth rate dropped.AThe CPI surged 8. 7 percent in February year on year, the highest rise for this key inflation figure in over a decade. The February figure was 1.6 percentage points higher than that of January. Normally, a 3-percent growth of CPI is regarded as inflation. The CPI growth rate cast a shadow over the Chinese economy and put the government in a tight spot. The government could continue to take monetary measures such as interest rate hikes, but it would be against the international trend of interest rate cuts since the global economy has been on the recession track due to the U. S. subprime mortgage crisis. Further rate hikes would draw in speculative currency, which might lead to problems such as liquidity.BThe consumer price index(CPI), the barometer for inflation, grew 7.7 percent in May year on year, 0.8 percentage points lower than that in April, according to the National Bureau of Statistics(NBS). It came as no surprise for financial institutions that the CPI dropped in May month on month, as food price, a major trigger for this round of inflation, dropped considerably thanks to an abundant summer supply. There is no quick fix yet to cure inflation. But Song Guoqing, economics professor of Peking University, stated the most efficient and simple way to control inflation is to control money supply. He called on the central bank to strictly reinforce stringent monetary policy to resolve inflation pressure.CThe consumer price index(CPI), the barometer for inflation at the retail level, grew 6. 3 percent in July year on year. The year-on-year growth rate slowed compared with the CPI’s 7.1-percent growth rate in June. But month-on-month growth accelerated 0. 1 percentage point from June to July. Inflation pressure also gained momentum after dropping in May and June. Food prices, which account for one third of the CPI basket and are considered as a major trigger of this round of inflation, rose 14.4 percent in July.D”Combating inflation” ceased to be the government’s priority as the consumer price index(CPI)growth rate continued to drop. Instead, the government has switched the focus of the country’s macro-control policies to “maintain growth”against the backdrop of the global economic downturn. In September, the CPI grew 4.6 percent year on year, but fell 0.3 percentage points compared with that of August. The CPI growth rate dropped for five consecutive months, demonstrating that government efforts to cap runaway inflation were paying off. Economists expect inflationarypressure to continue to ease in the fourth quarter.EThe consumer price index(CPI), the barometer of inflation, was down 0.3 percent in October compared with that of September. The National Bureau of Statistics(NBS)said the CPI’s year-on-year growth in October was 4 percent, the lowest growth rate in 17 months. The government has made “reining in inflation”its top economic priority since the middle of last year, when citizens were hit with soaring costs of living. Afterwards, six rounds of interest rate hikes and other measures to cool the economy paid off as economic growth slowed amid the global financial turmoil.1．CPI growth rate in this month is the lowest in seventeen months.正确答案：E2．CPI growth rate in this month puts the Chinese government in a dilemma.正确答案：A3．By this month, CPI growth rate has drooped for five months.正确答案：D4．CPI growth rate drops 0.8 percent on the basis of the previous month.正确答案：B5．Monetary policies such as continuous interest rate increase have been put into practice.正确答案：E6．Lots of countries in the world have cut interest rate because of the global economic recession.正确答案：A7．Stringent monetary policy was suggested to carry out to respond to inflation pressure.正确答案：B8．Chinese government’s priority has been changed to respond to inflation pressure.正确答案：DPART TWORead this text about an brief introduction of advertising. Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps. For each gap(9-14), mark one letter(A-H)on your Answer Sheet. Do not use any letter more than once. There is an example at the beginning(0). Advertising The primary function of advertising is to communicate marketing objectives to selected target audience. It is used to accomplish a number of tasks, using different media vehicles, reaching diverse audience, and gaining interest with a number of creative approaches. However, despite the seemingly endless channels for utilizing advertising, it is basically a marketing communication tool. When we examine unsuccessful advertising campaigns, we often find that advertising was used to accomplish inappropriate tasks. Successful advertising must be oriented to specific objective.(0).G... Effective advertising is an extension of basic marketing plans and is derived from it. However, advertising goals are not the same as marketing goals. The marketing staff sets the marketing goals or objectives.【P1】______ It also determines how these resources will be distributed to specific target markets and what sales objective can be expected over time and geography. Advertising goals are communication objectives designed to reach the target audience with the appropriate message. Ad. goals are based on marketing objectives, but they are not the same as marketing goals. Note that advertising goals are based on improving communication and consumer attitudes toward a product.【P2】______Obviously, even sophisticated corporations of ten confuse marketing and advertising goals. Advertising is the communication arm of the marketing process.【P3】______ Advertising has many roles. It is designed to dispose a person to buy a product, to change minds, or even to advocate less consuming(“demarketing”).【P4】______ Most advertising, however, is for the marketing of goods and services. Advertising is also the everyday culture of virtually every American. It is estimated that the average person sees or hears as many as 1,200 ads and commercials each day.【P5】______ It mirrors this environment and also brings about subtle changes in the behaviour of the publics that uses it. It is no wonder that advertising is one of the. most scrutinized of all business enterprises. 【P6】______ Advertisers are viewed in many ways by the public they serve. Manufacturers are asking for more tangible evidence of advertising’s role in the selling process, and the media are constantly seeking higher advertising rates to cover spiritual expenses. At the same time, the audiences that advertisers seek are becoming even more fragmented. Consumers, despite seemingly fascinated with advertising’s creative process, tend to become more cynical and disbelieving about its claims.Example:A It is a method of delivering a message from a sponsor, through a formal communication channel, to a desired audience.B It may be used to help elect a candidate, raise money for charity, or support a cause.C The marketing department decides how to allocate resources to various tasks, including advertising.D Advertising is part of the social, cultural, and business environment.E Today,advertising is functioning in a changing economic and social climate.F It is interesting to note that a survey indicated that a majority of companies wanted to measure advertising success based on sales.G Before we can determine advertising objectives, it is advisable to distinguish between marketing and advertising goals.H We’re now living in an advertising age.9．【P1】正确答案：C解析：该段第二句说明，“然而，广告目的不同于营销目的。

BEC商务英语（中级）阅读模拟试卷147(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREE 4. PART FOUR 5. PART FIVEPART ONELook at the statements below and the article about outsourcing risks on the opposite page. Which section(A.B.C or D)does each statement(1-7)refer to? For each statement(1-7), mark one letter(A,B,C or D)on your Answer Sheet. You will need to use some of these letters more than once.Example:0 Outsourcing is risky for a company’s profile. Outsourcing Risks on CompaniesA One of the main risks of outsourcing a task is that it will not be done to the specifications required. By having an outside company perform a task, a company runs the risk that the outside party will not have the same skill set and experience as in-house employees. A drop in quality can result in a drop in sales, as well as harm the company’s reputation among consumers.B Another risk for a company that outsources to foreign countries is bad press. Some companies, particularly large companies, face criticism for hiring workers from other countries, generally at cheaper wages, instead of using American employees. If a company comes under significant attack for outsourcing, then its reputation may suffer, leading to a loss of business. However, smaller companies that use only modest outsourcing stand a low risk of this occurring.C Not all foreign countries have the same economic and political stability enjoyed by the United States. Many countries, particularly those that are not democratic, may change laws that affect the business climate or experience political events—revolutions, wars, sudden changes in leadership—that make it difficult or expensive for outsourcers to complete a task. Therefore, companies that outsource to unstable countries run the risk of an interruption in business.D Many times, outsourcing involves sharing proprietary information with an outside party. This raises the risk that this information will be shared with another party that will try to capitalise on it. For example, the design of a piece of software may be shared by the outsourcing company with a competitor. In some countries, intellectual property laws are not strong. This can result in severe losses for the hiring company.1．Outsourcing may be blamed as the cause of less work opportunities in the U. S.正确答案：B解析：题干意为：在美国，外包被指责是工作机会减少的原因。

For each question(23-28)on the opposite page, choose the correct answer. Mark one letter(A, B or C)on your Answer Sheet. Advice to Other Entrepreneurs I have a lot of people, especially women, ask me about how to go about starting their own business. My advice is this: Do what you love and love what you do. My style may not work for everyone, but I believe in the motto of a very large company we all know, and that’s just do it. You won’t ever be successful without the risk of failure, and you sure aren’t going to be successful just sitting on the fence thinking about it. There’s a saying that my husband uses, analysis to paralysis. Personally, I’ve been successful and I’ve had businesses not work, but I’ve never regretted trying. Some of the biggest companies in the world have gone through bankruptcies more than once, and havecome back to be more successful than ever. You can’t even think about failure, much less be afraid of it. Just think of it as brushing off the dust. Starting your own business goes through a lot of phases. The excitement, the honeymoon, frustration, the what have I done, and so on, but like raising kids, you have to hang in there and not give up during the growing pains. Have a business plan with short-term and long-term goals. Know where you want to be in a few years. Have a budget. Be flexible. You’re probably going to get into it and find out that things are different than you anticipated. Be willing to make changes. Being your own boss sounds great. There’s a lot of good and not so good that go along with owning your own business. There’s no one to sign your paycheck but you. There’s also no one who can fire you but you. I love being in business for myself. Having a home-based business requires a lot of self-discipline, but offers a lot of flexibility. Where else can you be working at two a. m. in front of old TV reruns in your PJs? My last child has been a little more challenging than some, but it’s my baby and I love it. We’ve grown up together and are still learning a lot. I couldn’t be prouder when someone tells me how great and professional it looks. My favourite comments are those about how unique and fun our products are! After all, that is our goal. They have no idea how many long nights we’ve spent together and how far we’ve come from where we started. It’s all been worth it. Hope you’ll visit us soon at www. SpoiledGrandKids. com.

Under a European parent company, Setra AG, it covers 40 per cent of the British market. The company buys medicines from the manufacturers and delivers them on a twice-daily basis to hundreds of hospitals and pharmacies around the country. The responsibility for supplying such large quantities of medicines is frightening,’ says IT director, Stephen Smith. ‘If a manufacturer has quality control problems, creating a shortfall in supply, or if medicines are suddenly needed in large quantities somewhere else in the world our stock levels can fall dramatically. In the past such a lack of balance between supply and demand was a huge problem. With our new software system, we know immediately of any possible manufacturing or supply difficulties, can warn our customers and suggest possible alternatives.’This system is so efficient because manufacturers can update details themselves of stock levels and product information. Twice a day staff at AHL transfer this data to their main computer system where it is made available through the AHL website to company personnel and customers.With so many people having access to the data, isn’t the security of the system at risk? ‘Not at all,’ says Smith. ‘We run the software within our own internal security system. The data goes into a special “sandbox”which is separate from the rest of the system. Even if someone manages to get into the software, they can’t go anywhere else on the network.’And does he think that this is the limit of the software’s use? ‘The first time I saw this I had the feeling that life would be different from now on. Instead of having lots of pieces of paper flying around, an expansion of the software system into the purchasing department means that orders can now be dealt with in a moment. The only delay to further expansion is deciding what area of the company to apply it to next.’23．AHL PharmaceuticalsA．manufactures medicines.B．puts drug companies in contact with customers.C．supplies medicines to customers.正确答案：C24．According to the text, what is the challenge for pharmaceutical manufacturers?A．developing new types of medicinesB．transporting medicines to other countriesC．ensuring a constant supply of medicines正确答案：C25．The most important function of the new software is toA．maintain the quality of customer service.B．expand the customer network worldwide.C．inform patients about better quality medicines.正确答案：A26．New information about medicinesA．is updated by the manufacturers twice a day.B．is made available to customers by AHL personnel.C．is given direct to customers by manufacturers.正确答案：B27．Stephen Smith feels thatA．the security of information on the network used to be a worry.B．all the data should be stored on the same system.C．the company’s computer-based information is well-protected.正确答案：C28．The new softwareA．can be used in many areas of the company’s business.B．will soon totally replace the need for paper documents.C．is delaying the expansion of the purchasing department.正确答案：APART SIXRetirement for Marion Marion White is due to retire next week from well-known local law firm Barney & Francis, (29) ... offices are located across the south-west of England.After (30) ... her training in Bath, Mrs White joined the firm, where she has spent more (31) ... 20 years.

The news coincided with confirmation that the company also plans to dispose of its loss-making operations, CapPaints, the industrial solvent and paint division. This restructuring comes as the company reported a sharp drop in pre-tax profits. According to a company spokesman, the proposed joint venture with DTR International, one of the Taler Chemicals’ main competitors, is likely to be shelved.BMerger creates Hungarian software powerhouseSilcom has finalised merger terms with ARER to create one of Hungary’s largest computer software companies. Details of the merger are expected to be released later today. However, it is believed that Silcom’s plans to break into France and Germany have been put on hold for the time being and that major job losses will soon be announced. Silcom looks set to benefit from the merger with ARER, which has recently been awarded a number of major contracts, including a contract with the Hungarian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which will be worth in excess of $345,000 for the company.CProfits warning at LYT InternationalL YT International, one of Europe’s leading Management Training Organisations, has warned shareholders to expect a fall in full year profits. The company, whose flagship training centre in Copenhagen is currently being modernised and refurbished, made an interim profit of $12m, compared with $23m in 1998. In response to its poor financial results, LYT has announced plans to cut jobs in its French and Spanish centres. An employee spokesman said that the move would prove unpopular and that with insufficient employees, some centres would struggle to deliver the high level of service demanded.DShake-up at BTEDNina Rantamen, former government adviser and the new CEO at BTED Power in Finland, has announced cost-cutting measures at the company. This decision has already led to the resignation of one of the company’s most respected employees. Annika Ehlers had been with BTED Power for over 20 years, most recently as its Head of Operations. It is believed that she objected to company plans to reduce staffing levels at two of BTED Power’s plants. Indications are that further high level resignations will follow in the next few months.ERestructuring plans announced at San FreightSan Freight has responded toredundancy rumours by revealing that it is to cut the number of office-based staff employed in its Scandinavian division by 25% over the next 24 months. The announcement follows confirmation that the company has also decided to postpone the planned upgrading of haulage systems at its Stockholm subsidiary.

Choose the best sentence form the opposite page to fill each of thegaps. For each gap(9-14), mark one letter(A-H)on your Answer Sheet. Do not use any letter more than once. There is an example at the beginning(0). Transformation of Strategies of Thomson Corporation How does a business-to-busi-ness company find out exactly what end users do with its products? That was the question we wrestled with at the Thomson Corporation, because the people who buy from us are not the same people who actually use our products in their daily work.(0). C.... For Thomson, the answer has been to combine multiple methods of deep customer inquiry, from market surveys to observing users directly in their workplace. Those efforts have been part of a front-end customer strategy that has become the cornerstone of the company’s transformation. This strategy has included asking lawyers, accountants, financial analysts, investment managers, scientific researchers, and other professionals who use our products and services what they do on a minute-by-minute basis.【P1】______ By doing so, we’ve learned how to help end users with their work in ways that might otherwise never have occurred to us. Such scrutiny of the end user wouldn’t be unusual if we were a consumer products company. 【P2】______ But like most other B2B companies, Thomson historically had a much better understanding of its buyers than of its end users【P3】______ The transformation of Thomson began a little over a decade ago. 【P4】______ We published more than 200 newspapers, along with textbooks, law books, and professional journals, and operated the largest leisure travel business in the United Kingdom. Thomson was a prosperous leader in its markets, but we were concerned about the long-term viability of our business portfolio. First, our markets were not equal in terms of growth potential. Leisure travel, for example, was becoming increasingly competitive and turning into a commodity. To realise Thomson’s full potential, we needed to become less diversified and more focused on the business model with the best prospects for the future. Second, as we looked around the corner we could see the beginnings of a radical change in market dynamics.【P5】______ The worth of our considerable paper assets was in jeopardy. The transformation began with the divestiture of businesses that didn’t fit our strategic focus on information publishing services and with the acquisition of professional information publishing assets that did, along with investments in the technology needed to build and deliver products and services online.【P6】______ These advances were driven by the changing needs of our end users and, by extension, our buyers.Example:A The real breakthroughs, however, came a few years into the transformation process. In 2001, when we realised we needed to focus more closely on customers than ever before.B At the time, Thomson was a nearly 70-year-old holding company with $ 8. 7 billion in revenue.C But as older generations die out and younger ones come online, and as generations in the middle try e-books and realise their advantages, the demise of paper books will continue to accelerate.D P&G is known for following consumers around stores and observing them in their kitchens.E We knew a fair amount about, say, financial services information managers, who were responsible for making purchasing decisions for an entire department, but little about the individual brokers or investment bankers who used our data, research, and other resources daily to make investment decisions for their clients.F In particular, itappeared that the rise of the internet would change the newspaper and publishing markets forever.G The internet has indeed become an integral part of consumers’cornmercial activities.H Then we’ve systematically sought to deliver solutions that meet their needs during each of those hours.9．【P1】正确答案：H解析：因为前一句讲到这个策略包括询问使用我们产品或享受我们服务的律师，会计师，金融分析师，投资经理，科学研究者和其他专业人士每分钟都在干什么。

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 prioritiesalter. The structure of the employment market and, indeed of employment itself, is subject to change as both new technologies and new work systems are introduced (10) _____ We must face the uncertainties of a portfolio career.It is clear from the recent past that we cannot foresee the changes which will affect our working lives. The pace of change is accelerating , as a result of which traditional career plans will be of very limited use. (11)_____ They will need updating to reflect changes in our own interests as well as in the external work environment. Flexible workers already account for about half the workforce. (12)______ We are likely to face periods as contract workers, self-employed freelances, consultants, temps or part-timers.Many employers encourage staff to write a personal development development (PDP) (13)_____ Although some people use it only to review the skills needed for their job, a PDP could be the nucleus of wider career plan –setting out alternative long-term learning needs and a plan of self-development.A report issued by the Institute of Employment Studies advises people to enhance their employability by moving from traditional technical skills towards the attainment of a range of transferable skills. (14)_____ Instead, special schemes should be established to encourage people to examine their effectiveness and to consider a wider range of needs.0 A B C D E F G HA This dual effect means that the relationship between employers and workers has evolved to such and extent that we can no longer expect a long-term relationship with one employer.B. It carries an implicit assumption that we ourselves, and the jobs we enter, will change little during our working lives.C. This growth suggests that a career plan should not be expressed only in terms of full-time employment but should make provision for the possibility of becoming one of the.D this is a summary of one’s personal learning needs and an action plan to meet them.E Consequently, they must now accommodate a number of objectives and enable us to prepare for each on a contingency basis.F However, it warns that employers often identify training needs through formal appraisals, which take too narrow a view of development.G .

PART SIXPART ONELook at the statements below and the five extracts from an article about ‘offshoring’, the shift of service jobs to other countries, on the opposite page.Which extract (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement (1-8) refer to?For each 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.There is an example at the beginning (0).Example:0 Offshore functions will not necessarily stay abroad as financial considerations change.Off shoring AAn article in McKinsey Quarterly says that some companies which have moved their back-office functions offshore have missed huge opportunities to reap efficiencies beyond those that come from just using cheaper labour. These companies often merely replicate what they do at home, where labour is expensive and capital is relatively cheap, in countries in which the reverse is true. They forget an additional benefit is that offshoring allows companies to work round-the-clock shifts, ferrying data back and forth from one place to another, and that it also allows them to rethink the way they solve IT problems. The most successful operators redesign business processes to take full advantage of the new environment’s potential.BThere is no doubt that customers with complex queries requiring local understanding do not respond well to far-off operators repeating a series of specially learned responses. Convergys, one of the world’s biggest providers of ‘contact-centre services’, advises companies to shift simple queries offshore while retaining the more complex ones on the same shore as the caller. It calls this process ‘rightshoring’, and estimates that about 80% of the companies that it is working with in Britain are planning to split their call-centre operations in this way.CHarris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America, a lobby group, says that offshore locations have so far captured just 3-4% of all American companies’outsourcing. The bulk remains onshore in the hands of big firms such as Accenture and IBM. In fact, 60% of major corporates are doing nothing, or are only just beginning to investigate the potential of offshoring. Nevertheless, some big companies have told him that up to 40% of their outsourced business could end up offshore. That suggests the industry still has a long way to grow.DOne thing currently limiting the ability of companies to outsource tasks offshore is the inflexible architecture of modern business-information systems. It forces firms to perform tasks as a series of discrete steps. So a business wanting to outsource some of those steps (billing, for instance), but not others, gets involved in complicated flows of information that are prone to error. Newer software and hardware promise a future in which firms will be able to outsource smaller slivers of their business. They will not, as now, have to commit to outsourcing the whole of a department or nothing.EManyservice jobs are in industries like hotels and restaurants, or in public services like education and health, most of which can never be moved abroad. There are also alternative pools of labour to be tapped at home. Citigroup, for instance, has hired about 100 college students in America to do programming for it. In addition, some of the tasks currently going to low-cost offshore centres may eventually return because their underlying technologies will evolve in such a way that it makes economic sense to put them back in the home country.1．There is evidence that the use of offshoring will increase.正确答案：C2．Offshoring is not an option in certain sectors.正确答案：E3．The structure of businesses can make offshoring problematic.正确答案：D4．People consulting offshore staff may find the service unsatisfactory.正确答案：B5．Offshoring is still an untried and untested concept for many companies.正确答案：C6．Technology may enable companies to target aspects of their business for offshoring.正确答案：D7．The benefits of offshoring are not confined to lower costs.正确答案：A8．Strategic planning in the location of services may facilitate more successful offshoring.正确答案：BPART TWORead this text from an article about job interviews.

For example, it means great savings in terms of both time and the travel budget. 【P1】______.One problem with face-to-face interviews is that body language is bound to play an important part in them. 【P2】______.This necessarily leads to an inherent unfairness in such interviews. Putting distance between candidate and interviewer with the use of a video camera can help to overcome this problem as body language will be less obvious. 【P3】______.It could prove an unfair advantage, or possibly disadvantage, if used only with those unable to attend a face-to-face interview.A great deal has been made in recent years of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), which includes the science of body language and its value in job interviews. 【P4】______. Others, however, reject the new technology simply because they are afraid of it. The benefits of technology, though, are too great to ignore, when one considers that the best person for a particular job may decide not to attend an interview if he or she has to travel a considerable distance.Appointing senior executives is increasingly seen as a global business. Companies which intend to select candidates for jobs from a wider pool will have little choice but to bear the cost of overseas travel to conventional interviews, or to embrace the new technology. 【P5】______. Inevitably, companies will be seeking more cost-effective ways of recruiting quality candidates, and for this, virtual interviewing may offer a solution.The greatest value of face-to-face interviews is at the stage of final selection. 【P6】______. Nevertheless, there are many positive aspects of using technology as a recruitment tool. Times are changing, and unless the die-hards who ignore new technology change with them, they may find themselves left behind.Example:[*]A At the same time, the economic climate suggests that there is a very real prospect of leaner budgets in future.B We are instinctively inclined to feel more positive to people who are similar to us.C However, some experts feel that the main advantage of on-screen interviewing is that it addresses flaws in the conventional interview.D For this reason there will always be a place for them.E For some posts, applicants may be able to choose between a face-to-face interview and an on-screen interview.F Some people in industry consider this to be a far more reliable approach to selection than a high-tech interview.G But for it to be completely fair, the on-screen method would have to be used with all candidates.H Employers now have at their disposal a range of communication tools.9．【P1】正确答案：C10．【P2】正确答案：B11．【P3】正确答案：G12．【P4】正确答案：F13．【P5】正确答案：A14．【P6】正确答案：DPART THREERead the following article about the problems small companies may have in recruiting staff, and the questions on the opposite page. For each question (15-20), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.Small companies often struggle in a crucial area - the recruitment of additional staff. With little time or budget for recruitment and training, mistakes are made all too st year, Sally Thomas, managing director of a small software company, thought she had found the ideal project co-ordinator to handle long-term client relationships, after a two-year search. ‘We had already tried a couple of internal people, but they were not suited to the role,’she says. “The role does not require a detailed knowledge of information technology, but does demand enough expertise to understand current and future projects and the ability to talk about them meaningfully and sensitively to customers.’ Ms Thomas and her technical director gave several short-listed candidates in-depth interviews and psychometric tests. They then decided to follow their instinct and pick the individual who had performed least well in the tests but felt like the right person for the job. The new project co-ordinator lasted just six weeks. ‘It was very disappointing,’ says Ms Thomas. ‘In the end the psychometric test proved to be more accurate than our own belief in who was best.’ Luckily the candidate who scored most highly in the tests was still available and is now doing well in the job.Tony Jones used personal contactswhen setting up his electronic repair services company, recruiting four people he already knew for the top management team. This worked well, but on technical staff he has been less successful, with a 50% drop-out rate in just four months. ‘It’s easy to make snap judgements because you’re so busy running the business,’ Mr Jones says. ‘Instead of a thorough testing process you tend to do it too fast. Someone seems like a nice person who knows what they’re doing, so you give them the job but eventually you come to regret your decision.’Mr Jones has tried employment agencies, but finds them expensive and lacking in knowledge of sectors such as electronics. ‘Finding electronic engineers is not like looking for bankers for example,’ he says. ‘The right people for us tend to have been stuck in the bedroom with a soldering iron in their youth, rather than having done particularly well academically. We could be talking about the dark side of the moon as far as most agencies are concerned.’Recruitment from outside is a huge problem for small companies, but according to Louise Punter, chief executive of the Surrey Chamber of Commerce, ‘People who have moved from other firms bring a fresh look and a big injection of new ideas.’Those who have worked for medium-sized or large companies are particularly valuable, because they are familiar with processes and systems that can be just as effective in a company of ten people as in a company of thousands. ‘Small companies tend to deal only with the immediate problem, whereas a larger organisation would put in place a process that would prevent the same thing going wrong again. People who know how to do this can be very valuable.’On the other hand, given the current skills shortage, low unemployment and the expense involved in recruitment, it makes sense to promote from within where possible. ‘A classic mistake is that companies overlook the skills their existing staff have: for example, a marketing person might have good financial skills,’says Mrs Punter. She recommends conducting a skills audit to identify staff expertise, in particular what is transferable or not being fully exploited. In larger companies, these issues often come out in appraisals, but in small ones they are easily missed.Not surprisingly, finding the right staff can present small companies with their biggest challenge.15．Appointing a new project co-ordinator made Sally Thomas realise thatA．she had misjudged the value of different methods of selection.B．few people had the right combination of qualities for the job.C．she had underestimated the time required to choose the best candidate.D．internal promotion was unlikely to lead to a successful appointment.正确答案：A16．In the third paragraph, what point does Tony Jones make?A．Different jobs require candidates to have different qualities.B．The demands of running a business ought to take priority over interviewing.C．The most effective method of selection is personal contact.D．A mistake in the choice of candidate can have a long-term effect.正确答案：D17．What criticism does Tony Jones make of agencies?A．They do not hold enough discussions with employers.B．They fail to focus on the appropriate skills.C．They underestimate the demand for electronic engineers.D．They do not react quickly enough to technical developments.正确答案：B18．According to Louise Punter, it is useful for small companies to recruit people whoA．understand the problems of small businesses.B．have experience of similar-sized organisations.C．can apply knowledge gained elsewhere.D．have designed systems in their previous job.正确答案：C19．In the sixth paragraph, what point does Louise Punter make about small companies?A．They are not likely to be able to afford to recruit staff with the right skills.B．They lack the necessary skills for carrying out staff appraisals.C．They may not be aware of some of the skills of their employees.D．They depend too heavily on staff developing appropriate marketing skills.正确答案：C20．Which of the following is the writer’s main point in the article as a whole?A．Finding the right people is crucial for small companies.B．Many of the selection tools used by large companies are unsuitable for small companies.C．Recruitment experts should provide a better service for small companies.D．Small companies need to reduce the cost of recruiting new staff.正确答案：APART FOURRead the article below about promotional discounts.

Which section(A,B,C or D)does each statement(1-7)refer to? For each statement(1-7), mark one letter(A,B,C or D)on your Answer Sheet. You will need to use some of these letters more than once.Example:0 You need to know what price your customer would like to pay for the products. How to Determine a Pricing StrategyA There is no way to determine how much to charge for your products or services if you don’t know how much your customers will pay. Study their demographics and income levels, and learn about their spending habits. If you can’t afford to spend a lot on market research, “ Inc.” magazine recommends sending out surveys to your customers themselves. If you see that there are several categories in your market and they exhibit different spending styles, choose one.B You can’t price a product in a vacuum, you need full details about what’s coming out of your pocket to figure out how much you need to charge to put money back in. Consider all of your costs—parts, labour, overhead, operating expenses, rent and anything else your business uses. Spread this number out over a few months’ time to see how much money you need to make per month just to break even.C Once you know how much you are spending, choose a number over and above that to be your profit margin. The price you charge for your product has to do more than cover expenses: it has to provide the incentive for you to be in this business altogether. Consider how much money you want to walk away with, and factor that number into your pricing when you estimate how much you are going to sell.D You don’t want to be too off in any direction from the going rate for similar products. Customers know more or less what your product is already worth, based on what your competitors are charging. If you bring some new value to the market, you can surely charge a bit more, but not too much more. Similarly, if you charge too little, customers may perceive your company as cheap.1．You need to do some research about the purchasing behaviours of your target consumers.正确答案：A解析：题干意为：你需要调研你的目标消费者的购买行为。

Your Career Path Can Lead You Anywhere
We used to be advised to plan our careers. 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. The structure of the employment market and, indeed of employment itself, is subject to change as both new technologies and new work systems are introduced (10) We must face the uncertainties of a portfolio career.
It is clear from the recent past that we cannot foresee the changes
which will affect our working lives. The pace of change is accelerating , as a result of which traditional career plans will be of very limited use. (11) ___________________________________ They will
need updating to reflect changes in our own interests as well as in the external work environment. Flexible workers already account for about half the workforce. (12)____________________ We are
likely to face periods as contract workers, self-employed freelances, consultants, temps or part-timers.
Many employers encourage staff to write a personal development development (PDP) (13)_______________ Although some people
use it only to review the skills needed for their job, a PDP could be the nucleus of wider career plan - setting out alternative long-term learning needs and a plan of selfdevelopment.
A report issued by the Institute of Employment Studies advises people to enhance their employability by moving from traditional technical skills towards the attainment of a range of transferable skills.
(14) __________________________ Instead, special
schemes should be established to encourage people to examine their effectiveness and to consider a wider range of needs.
0 A B C D E F G H
A This dual effect means that the relationship between employers and workers has evolved to such and extent that we can no longer expect a long-term relationship with one employer.
B. It carries an implicit assumption that we ourselves, and the jobs we enter, will change little during our working lives.
C. This growth suggests that a career plan should not be expressed only in terms of full-time employment but should make provision for the possibility of becoming one of the.
D this is a summary of one ' s personal learning needs
and an action plan to meet them.
E Consequently, they must now accommodate a number of objectives and enable us to prepare for each on a contingency basis.
F However, it warns that employers often identify training needs through formal appraisals, which take too narrow a view of development.
G . Such a freelance of consultant would be constantly
in demand.
H We were expected to work towards that one clear goal and to consider a career change as a bad thing.
