We have received the report that the real hourly wages of workers become even less ,so they do not have enough money to buy so many things. Although the employment is rising towards the end of 1994 ,the growth is very slow. Therefore ,not many people find jobsto earn enough money to buy goods. Then where does the big consumer confidence come from? We have discovered that people overspend with various credit cards ,buying goods. And they are not worried about returning the borrowed money. This it is our turn to be concerned about this kind of consumer confidence.三.听力部分1. Cathedral2. museums3. special4. Barcelona5. Murphy6. 553227887.

Questions 23 30.By Paul Abrahams in TokyoResults from Japan's largest petrochemicals companies for the year to March 3lst reflect the crisis facing a sector plagued by sluggish domestic demand ,overcapacity ,plunging prices and the appreciation of the yen. News of the sector's cire trading position follow thisweek's decision by Showa Denko to sell its polystyrene business.The company, a marginal manufacturer, sold its 30, 000 tonnes a year Kawasaki plant to Asahi Chemical, Japan's largest polystyrene manufacturer with capacity of about 333, 000 tonnes a year, equivalent to about 25 per cent of the market. The move was the latest in a series of alliancesand mergers as the troubled industry restructures. Mitsubishi Petrochemical , the country's biggest plastics group , reported a loss of Y8,39bn ( $ 80m) compared withpre-tax profits last year of Y8.25bn. The group made an operating loss of Y13.8bn,the first since 1982. The poor result came despits cost-cutting measures, lower rawmaterial prices ,and Y4bn worth of profits from equity sales.Turnover fell 12.2 per cent from Y372bn to Y326bn, asprices and volumes declined. Earnings per share, which reached Y52. 5 in 1991 , fell to a loss per share of Y9.44. The group, which is scheduled to merge with MitsubishiKasei on October 1st ,cut its dividend from Y8 per share toY4.Mitsubishi Kasei's pre-tax profits fell 76. 8 per cent fromY9.3bn last year to Y2.2bn. The group reported its first operating loss in 40 years at Y467m, and only managed topost positive pre-tax results by selling Y15. 7bn worth of equities. Turnover fell 1.8 per cent ,the fourth yearly decline ,to Y696bn. The dividend was halved to Y3 per share. Mr. Morihisa Takano ,managing director, said the newly merged group would generate pre-tax profits of Y10bn onsales of Y855 bn during the year to March 1995.He predicted petrochemicals prices would bottom out duringthe summer. No decision had been made about thedividend ,but the new company could pass it during the current year, he Pre-tax profits at Mitsui Petrochemical industries, Japan's biggest polyethylene maker, plunged 75 per cent from Y9bn to Y2. 26bn on sales down 9. 3 per cent at Y272bn. The company blamed poor demand for the slump which offset the benefits of cost-cutting measures. The dividend is unchanged at Y6 per share. The group forecast pre-tax profits for the current year marginally up at Y3bn on turnover of Y276bn.Shin-Etsu, one of Japan's biggest makers of polyvinyl chloride , reported profits down 26.1 per cent from Y17.6bn to Y13bn. Sales increased 0. 2 per cent from Y275bn to Y276bn. Net profits fell 26. 6 per cent to Y7.08bn, orY21.85 per share.The group maintained the final dividend at Y3.75, making the full-year pay out Y7.5 per share. Shin-Etsu forecast pre-tax profits for the current year of Y15.5bn on sales of Y277bn.The outlook for the petrochemicals industry remains blsak. The imbalance between supply and demand for ethylene, thebasic building block of petrochemicals ,is about 2.8m tonnes of ethylene and is set to deteriorate further this year.A massive 700,000-tonne-a-year ethylene complex owned by Maruzen ,Mitsui Petrochemical and Sumitomo Chemical comes on stream later this year and Mitsubishi Petrochemical is also commissioning a new 300,000-tonne-a -year plant this year。

BEC商务英语模拟试题与答案2016年BEC商务英语模拟试题与答案PART ONEQuestions 1-7Look at the sentences below and the book reviews on the opposite page.Which book does each sentence 1-7 refer to?For each sentence, mark one letter A,B,C or D on your Answer Sheet.You will need to use some of these sentences more than once.1 It describes activities which have become increasingly popular.2 It gives important information as briefly as possible.3 It deals with an area that has received little attention previously.4 It describes methods that can help with team-building.5 It is suitable to people with varying degrees of commercial experience.6 It was previously published with a different title.7 It is written for people from different types of professional background.AThe Trainer's PocketbookFormerly known as The Instructor k Pocketbook, the eighth edition of this short guide covers 'all the essentials of training', from creating the right learning environment to the use of audio-visual equipment. This 78-page book concentrates on presenting the key facts in summary form.BThe Handbook of Health and SafetyThis is a comprehensive guide intended for managers, union safer), representatives and anyone teaching for Occupational Health & Safety examinations. Apart from the usual subjects of legal obligations and risk prevention, it focuses on a relatively neglected issue, that of healthconcerns about computer use--particularly those associated with keyboard~OIK.CWriting Effective AdvertisementsThis guide has been put together by best-selling author John Newton and looks at the reasons why some advertisements are more successful than others. Ideal both for someone starting up in business and for the established business person, it contains useful information on advertisement layout and content.DUsing Management GamesThis second edition, which reflects the growing trend to use management games as training tools, acts as a guide to exercises designed to increase group effectiveness. The writer explains the ways in which exercises, for example puzzles and communication games, can be used to improve group co-operation.PART TWOQuestions 8-12Read the text below about how companies can make their employees what to stay.Choose the best sentence from the list on the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.For gap 8-12, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.Do not use any letter more than once.The difficulty of holding onto good, experienced staff has always been a major issue with the majority of companies. High staff turnover can result in many problems. …example…Most companies hope to recruit the right type of person in the first place. However, too much emphasis on qualifications and not enough on personality often leads to a company attracting the right standard, but not the right kind of person. 8 They can also be used to identify existing staff who are suitable but who, initially may not have been considered.It is important for companies to understand why employees move on to another employer. 9 They can be the key to identifying any problem areas that might exist within an organization. It is essential therefore that employees who are about to disappear are interviewed before they depart, in order to discover why they are leaving.Analysis of these interviews has shown that a lack of appreciation is one of the main factors causing employees to look elsewhere for work. Managers should provide regular feedback to their staff. 10 If this is not done, employees will think their efforts are not appreciated.Communications within the organization are another consideration. 11 This can be avoided through regular departmental and inter-departmental meetings, which are extremely valuable as a means of passing on information throughout the company and keeping employees up to date with recent developments. They also serve to provide the opportunity for employees to express their opinions.Paying staff according to how they perform is another way of recognizi ng employees’ efforts. If the company benefits froman employee’s extra effort, it is only reasonable that the employees should also receive some financial benefit. It is however important to avoid offering some member of staff the opportunity to improve their pay while excluding others. 12 In cases where such difficulties might exist, a planned career progression for an individual staff member means that the person knows exactly what to expect from the job and what is required from them.A.For example, when good work has been done it must be praised.B.This can easily happen, since it is not always possible to introduce productivity measurements into every, employee's work.C.In particular, employers are recognizing that these requirements will change as time goes by.D.Selection tests can be used to indicate a candidate's suitability for the job they are applying for.E.If these are poor, employees will feel left out.F.The reasons for staff resigning and the benefits offered by their new employersmust be recorded.G.One of the most serious of these is the cost of continually having to find and train replacements.。

Please arrange our meeting on 26th June.PART TWOQuestion 47(Sample for reference )After careful survey, we can see clearly from the chart that our cars have more models and colours than those of Quaker Company, our main competitor with higher quality. However, Quaker Company's income increases more quickly. What is the reason? First , Quaker Company spends much more money in advertising. I suggest we advertise on BTV, the most popular broadcasting station nowadays. Secondly , we should enlarge the scope of our after-sales service. We can open more service stations in many medium-sized cities. Thirdly ,if we have more money, We can hire more salesmen to sell cars directly to the customes, especially, more salesmen in medium-sized cities.三. 听力部分1. Davis2. Monday3. HI 834. curly5. Hanover6.

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. Which partner should be responsible for conducting such testing, and。

Could you advertise for two experienced translators in the newspapers? It is urgent.PART TWOQuestion 47(Sample for reference)Near the end of 1994, people suddenly become "rich", buying a lot of things. We have received the report that the real hourly wages of workers become even less ,so they do not have enough money to buy so many things. Although the employment is rising towards the end of 1994 ,the growth is very slow. Therefore ,not many people find jobs to earn enough money to buy goods. Then where does the big consumer confidence come from? We have discovered that people overspend with various creditcards ,buying goods. And they are not worried about returning the borrowed money. This it is our turn to be concerned about this kind of consumer confidence.三」斤力部分1. Cathedral2. museums3. special4.Baicelona5. Murphy6. 553227887.

PART THREEQuestions 13-20.. Read this letter alert explanation of business problems , and answer the questions that follow.Williams and Co.54 Jermyn StreetLondon SW 1Y 6LXJuly, 1993Manager of Export SalesHilton Motorcycles Ltd.Fenley WorksDear Sir or Madam :We received your letter dated 2nd July, expressing your dissatisfaction with the present level of your sales in Nigeria. We shall try to explain as briefly as possible how it is that your competitors are doing so well so that you may see why it is that we are not. We shall also suggest ways of improving the present situation. Our difficulties may be summarized as follows :1. Your competitors pay for extensive advertising in newspapers and magazines that reach every corner of Nigeria. We receive no financial help for advertising and do not receive sufficient commission to pay for it ourselves.2. the company referred to in your letter sent a two-man team on a tour of six provinces in a specially equipped lorry containing the models they wished to publicize. Their agent had arranged displays in the towns they were due to visit and had announced them in the local press. With such backing from the manufacturer ,high sales are inevitable !3. What sells well in Europe does not necessarily sell well elsewhere. Your competitors know this and plan accordingly. they give maximum publicity to three or four models that are sure to sell well here. We would suggest that you do the same and concentrate on the 98cc Speedy, the 250cc Hunter and the 350cc Hawk.4. In spite of the excellent containership service between England and West Africa we are still having to wait for too long for orders to be shipped. Once they have placed an order, customers are impatient to receive it. Our present commission of 10/00 does not allow us to undertake sales tours in other regions. Nigeria covers an area of over 350 , 000 square miles and our present commission will not stand the expense of such trips.If you are prepared to increase our commissions ,contribute to our travel expenses on the longer journeys and back us with advertising. We are convinced that we can do as well as your competitors. We look forward to your comments.Yours faithfully ,Williams and Co.Questions 13-16. For questions 13 -16 ,choose the correct title for each paragraph from the box below.. For each paragraph (1-4) mark one letter (AG) on your Answer Sheet.. Do not mark any letter twice.13.

I assume you have looked at several machines and have narrowed down your choices. Here are my observations.An approach to adopting word processorsEighteen months ago we adopted CPT equipment on limited scale with the idea in mind that we could gradually get rid of electric typewriters as we became familiar with the word processor. ...... 8 ......The stations are actually in pairs so each pair can share a common printer...... 9......We use the equipment as dedicated word processors, although we do have the ability to link up with our computer installation.The step-at-a-time development of our word-processing center has, we think, saved us money and training time. ......10......PerformanceIn terms of performance , the CPT equipment is excellent. ... ...11.. ...Moreover our service contract and warranty have covered all maintenance costs.We have software packages that check spelling and signal when a mistake occure. ...... 12 ing both printers , we recently prepared 1200 individually typed form letter mailings a under four hours. We have no complaint about our preparation of executive reports.Example: IA So it works very well and has so many different functions.B Also it has reduced the confusion that exists about buying software packages .C The train stops at each station for only fifteen minutes.D We began with two work stations and now have four.E Our routine letters are prepared from disc-stored masters.F The Rotary W printer with a speed of 45 characters a second can easily handle two input stations.G In contrast ,its size and weight are ideal for carrying.H We have not yet experienced mechanical problems so far.I We are pleased with its performance and multi-functions.PART THREEQuestions 13-20. 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, Britain's biggest bank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits ,Andrew Buxton, the bank's managing director andan 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. Buxton is 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. For questions 13- 16 ,choose the correct title for each paragraph from the box below.. For each paragraph(l-4) mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.. De not mark any letter twice.13.

Using the information in the text ,complete each sentence 17- 20 ,with a phrase from the list below (A-G). For each sentence (17-20) mark one letter(A-G) on your Answer Sheet..

There's also a slight cavity in another tooth. It may take considerable drilling.Question FifteenI don't know what I'm going to find in the car. I promise that I'll check it thoroughly. For example if your condenser becomes worn out ,I'll call you and recommend that you let me put in a new one. I won't do this before we've talked about it.Question SixteenPlease take off your coat and roll up your sleeve. I want to take your blood pressure. Yes ,your pressure is a little bit high.

And we're having an introductory special. You can get free French fries with every sandwich order. Here is the coupon.Part Three.Questions 23 to 30.Retailer: A person's life style has a significant effect on the purcharsing process. So how do I determine and understand the life style of my target market?Sociologist : The consumer's activities , interests ,and opinions or AIO can be used to analyze life styles and their impact on purchase behavior. Activities, interests, and opinions are especially useful when they can be related to demographic data. Grouping people according to these three criteria will reveal substantial differences in product usage ,time spent shopping, enjoyment of shopping experience, location and hours of the store, and so on. A typical consumer AIO survey would include questions on membership , hobbies, travel, shopping, work, and entertainment activities , involvement in the home , the family, and community interests and feelings about economics, politics, and advertising. The use of the AIO measurement has also been called psychographics ;it is in the early stages of development.Retailer :So the AIO survey of consumers is not enough. What else should I pay attention to?Sociologist: Culture, social class, reference groups and class consciousness are social dimensions of life style that have an impact on purchasing behavior. A person's culture affects the importance of family ,religion ,education and other concerts. North Americans act differently than South Americans or Europeans because of their cultural heritage. For example, in the United States, purchasing decisions are more decentralized; religion has a declining impact on behavior. From a retailing perspective, the norms or standards of behavior that are influenced by culture are most important. Culture has an impact on all aspects of the purchasing process.Retailer : How does social classes influence a person's purchasing behavior?Sociologist :Lower-class consumers have limited information sources and seek local ,friendly retailers. Middle class consumers utilize media information and extensive search. They are willing to shop out of their neighborhoods. Upper-class consumers use media information and shop at prestige stores. For products or services that are conspicuous ,reference groups have an important role in the purchasing process. Those reference groups that are face-to-face have the most impact on the purchasing process. The different types and uses of reference groups need to be understood , As an example ,one's neighbours are a membership reference group. However ,a retailer must distinguish between the use of neighbours as a reference group by suburbanites and the use by city dwellers. The suburbanite willfollow his or her neighbours and know them much better. City dwellers are more independent and know little about their neighbours.Retailer :Don't you think motives are very important in purchasing behavior?Sociologist : Yes. Personality , motives , and performance are individual dimensions of life style that have an impact on purchasing behavior. A consumer's personality traits affect the purchase process. For an impatient person, the process is short. For someone with little selfconfidence, the process is long. Post purchase satisfaction is very important to a statusseeker. Consumers have different motives (reasons) when they buy products. Motives are critical when the consumer ranks alternatives and makes a final decision. Motives do change in different situations. A person's performance in various roles determines his or her social acceptance and influences the purchasing process.Retailer ,Thank you very much. I think I've learned about the importance of life style.。

( 每小题 1 分,共 10 分 )The year 2000 has been tough for online retailers. Changes in the market have driven many sites out of business, and many others are only barely surviving. The holidays, promising GREatly increased sales, offer hope for many e-commerce sites. The good news for retailers is that the holiday market will grow; this year's holiday sales are predicted to be 66% higher than last year's.In a year when over half the U.S. population has access to the Internet, e-commerce sites can expect dramatic increases in site traffic before the holidays. Forrester Research predicts $10 billion in holiday revenues, and Jupiter forecasts the U.S. holiday market as $12 billion. Gartner Group predicts $10.7 billion in North American holiday sales and worldwide sales of $19.5 billion.While revenue estimates vary, it's clear that Holiday 2000 will be big for e-commerce. Customers will shop online this holiday season for convenience; by shopping online, customers avoid crowds, transportation hassles, and inconvenient store hours. One customer commented in our tests that she would shop online “ to avoid the hassle of going to different stores. ”Despite the eager shoppers and the predictions of a big holiday season, 洛基英语是中国英语培训市场上的一朵奇葩,是全球已被验证的东方人英语学习的最佳模式。
洛基英there is bad news for online retailers: the e-commerce industry is losing billions of dollars in potential sales. Shoppers want to purchase online, but many sites make it too hard to buy.To gain the most from the holiday season, sites must pursue a simple strategy: improve the customer experience. Improving the customer experience can yield an additional $8 billion in North American sales, and $14 billion in worldwide online sales this holiday season.According to Gartner Group projections, worldwide online revenues for the holiday season will be $19.5 billion.In our consumer tests of major sites across key holiday categories, we found that 43% of buying attempts failed. These findings suggest that the $19.5 billion represent only 57% of potential sales this holiday season.Lost sales due to poor customer experience thus total more than $14 billion: · $34.2 billion - $19.5 billion=$14.7 billion.It is worth noting that our $14 billion does not include future losses due to poor experience this holiday season. Millions of consumers will shop online for the first time this holiday season. If they have a good experience, they are likely to continue shopping on their favorite sites in the future. If they have a bad experience, they will likely never return to the sites where they were unable to buy(if indeed they return to shop online at all).The actual losses due to poor customer experience may thus be significantly higher than our $14 billion estimate.In our tests, problems with the checkout process were the greatest cause of failed purchase attempts. More than 40% of failures were due to difficulty with checkout. Customers had found a product they wanted, added it to their cart and decided to place an order. They were ready to buy and wanted to pay. Unfortunately, the checkout process was too difficult and made it impossible for them to buy.There were several different types of problems that arose in the checkout process.The most important lesson is that poor checkout experience will cost the industry billions in holiday sales.pared with last year's holiday sales, this year's will be ______.A. lowerB. twice lowerC. higherD. twice higher2.Forrester Research, Jupiter and Gartner Group all suggest that in 2000 ______.A. holiday sales for e-commerce sites in every part of the world will increase a lotB. holiday sales for e-commerce sites in every part of the world will decrease a lotC. holiday sales for e-commerce sites in some parts of the world 洛基英语是中国英语培训市场上的一朵奇葩,是全球已被验证的东方人英语学习的最佳模式。
