This move goes against the market trend, with other insurers increasing rates by an average one per cent.'The level of claims has been lower than usual over this period, allowing us to make these welcome reductions,' says Malcolm Broad, Loyalty's General Manager.Although the cost of insuring a car with Loyalty has increased by six per cent this year, it is still the smallest rise in the insurance industry; most other companies' rates are, on average, ten per cent higher than they were last year.'The company has always believed in passing on any improvement in its financial position to its customers,' says Mr Broad.

An emergency finance director to sort out your cashflow problems? A leading venture capital company has set upa service which provides companies with temporary executives to help them out with particular tasks or periods of development. MichaelMann helped establish the Independent Executive Service (IES) in the late eighties and, as Director of the company, has led its expansion into markets at home and abroad.The idea is simple. The skills that make a good businessperson whocan launch a new business are quite different from those needed torun a medium sized, mature operation. They are certainly not theskills needed if the business gets into difficulties, as can easily happen with fast-growing compames. It is in situations like this that the IES steps in. It recruits people who have spent their careers in management, usually entrepreneurs themselves who have built up their own businesses and then sold them. The prospect of spending a limited time in a wide range of businesses is attractive to them. They wantto do more in business, but don't want to go through the start-up process themselves again. As Mann explains, 'Most have experience of running their own companies and sorting out problems associated witha high growth phase - this work comes naturally to them.''After preliminary discussions with the client company's HR Manager,we introduce five or six candidates to their Board of Directors. They then select the IES executive who best fits their requirements,' says Mann. 'We provide independent directors to many troubled companies, including those that we have already provided venture capital for.The service is free to these existing clients. For a fee, we alsohelp out other companies which we think have a good recoverypotential. Additionally, we have a great deal of repeat business from satisfied customers who buy our services again to help with a later stage of expansion.'According to Mann, the first step for independent executives is oftento establish how a business is meant to be run. 'In many small businesses, it is often unclear to Board members who is responsiblefor what in the company. Another common starting point is helping the existing management avoid bankruptcy. Only then is it possible toturn to more long-term issues.'23．What service does the IES provide?A It hires out short-term directors to companies.B It advises companies on the recruitment of new directors.C It gives directors independent guidance on setting up new companies. 24．What is the idea on which the IES is based?A Different market sectors require different kinds of business skills.B Even skilled businesspeople need help in situations new to them.C Specialised leadership skills are needed to acl~ieve fast growth.25．Why do many IES executives like working for companies for limited periods?A They are intending to start up other companies in the future.B They are running their own companies at the same time.C They like the variety of working in many different companies. 26．Who makes the final decision about which executive will join a particular company?A the IES executiveB the HR ManagerC the Board of Directors27．The IES offers its services without charge to companies itA has already invested in.B has previously provided directors for.C believes have a good chance of recovery.28．IES executives often work with directors who areA unsure of their exact roles within their companies.B unclear about the causes of their companies' difficulties.C unaware that their companies are close to bankruptcy.PART SIXQuestions 29-40· Read the introduction below to a business reference book.· 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.Quick answers to key business questionsThe information contained in this business reference book is directly useful to you and your business.

As it grew, the management realized that changes were needed. However, they still wanted to keep the advantages of a small family firm.Originally, all company staff belonged to either the Production or the Administration department. However, as the firm grew, it became clear that the Administration department was therefore replaced by separate departments: Accounts, Purchasing, Despatch and Sales. Sales was then further reorganized as Sales and Customer Service. Customer Service now employs more people than any other department in the company.Most heads of new departments were appointed from inside the company. In the case of Production, Masco recruited someone with experience of working in a much larger firm, who would be able to understand the demands of a fast-growing business. Accounts was the only other department to employ new staff at senior level. Two very experienced people from large companies were recruited to work closely with the existing head of the department.Senior staff were worried that their work would increase following the changes. In fact, it decreased, because several processes became quicker and easier when staff were given the power to make decisions themselves. On the other hand, some staff were disappointed that promotion did not lead to higher salaries.Don Bradford, Masco’s Managing Director says, “We’ve very pleased with the staff’s response to the changes. We thought it would take at least two years to solve all our problems but after only one year we can already see positive results. It’ll probably be another six months, though, before we feel fully confident. We’ve had a few problems with departments not keeping in close enough contact with each other. On the whole, we’re quite satisfied. Although overheads have increased slightly, the Sales Department has brought in a lot of new business and productivity’s up considerably. The future looks good!6.Masco made changes at management level because it ____________ .A. bought a small family firm .B.had more business to deal withC. was not growing fast enough.7.The benefits of the management changes were felt after _______________.A. six monthsB. twelve monthsC. two years.8The changes have led to a ____________________ .A. lack of communication between departments.B. large rise in administrative costs.C. fall in class9.___________ department has the largest number of staff.A. ProductionB. Customer serviceC. Administration10.Which department disappeared in the reorganization of the company ?A. AccountsB. SalesC. AdministrationAnswers : BBAACTask 3Read this part of an annual report, written by the Managing Director of a toy company called Bambinos, and answer questions 11-15 . For questions 11-15, choose the correct answer. For each question, mark one letter A,B or C on your Answer Sheet.1996 began well for Bambinos, with the purchase in January of National Toy Shops Ltd for ￡2.3 million. All departments avoided job losses, except sales, where both companies had previously had agents serving the same areas. In the production department, eighty temporary workers were taken on in February to work on a contract with a new client in Japan. These jobs will probably disappear by the beginning of the summer, though staffing levels may rise again soon afterwards when we launch the new robot toy, Roboman.The export order to Japan has been a major success, but it cannot hide the problems we have had in this area. Despite the huge amounts we have invested in designing world-leading toys and in the distribution of our products, I am disappointed to see we are losing customers to rival firms, especially in Asia. We do not seem able to offer the same quality of service as our rivals. I want to see a system for improving the way we deal with calls from customers wanting information of help, checking on details of products, or making complaints. I would like to see major improvements in this area as soon as possible.There are many achievements to be proud of. The increase in annual profits in 1996 was partly the result of Mr. Beck’s new system of producing and following up on invoices for company accounts. But I am particularly pleased to see the 50% growth in the number of staff who are now able to use computers for major parts of their work. This is a great result for the small amount of money invested last year in staff training. We have now advertised for a new training manager and will be increasing the amount spent in this area to over 3% of annual profits. This will provide a variety of courses for staff in all departments.Finally. I would like to mention Roboman. Many of our future plans depend on the success of this project, which will go into production in February. In 1993 our engineers in the research and development department had already succeeded in producing one of the world’s smallest radio-controlled robots, so efficient that the batteries do not need to be changed for at least 25 hours of use. What makes this new one particularly exciting is that it is controlled simply by the user giving it spoken instructions. It is this, rather than sales techniques or pricing policy, that will make Roboman the best-selling toy for the next five years.11.Extra staff were employed forA. a new order from overseas.B. an increase in dmand over the summer.C.the development of a new toy.12. The company has improvedA. its advertising methods.B. the computer skills of its staff.C. communication between departments.13 The most important development in the new Roboman is thatA. it doesn’t need batteriesB. it is very small.C. it responds to speech.14. The only department to reduce its staff was …….A. salesB. productionC. customer services15.

2016年剑桥商务英语初级模拟试题及答案
2016年剑桥商务英语初级模拟试题及答案Reading 1 hour PART ONE Questions 1 – 8 Look at the sentences below and at the five managers’ comments on leadership on the opposite pageWhich new item (A, B, C ,D or E) dose each statement 1 – 8 refer to ? For each statement ! – 8 , make one letter(A, B, C ,D or E) on your Answer Sheet . You will need to use some of these letters more than once .1、Successful leadership involves making sure that employees accept new ideas. 2、A good leader can bring success to a company in difficulties 3、Leaders should be assessed on the basis of their achievements 4、The personalities of good leaders are generally different from those of other managers 5、Patience is a valuable quality in a successful leader6、Leaders consider potential changes in what their company does for others7、Good leaders will encourage their staff if their organization is in difficulties8、Leaders need to adapt their behaviour to suit different circumstances9、 A Maurizio Verna Long-term, visionary business leaders must be prepared to invest to get what they want for their company. They know when and how to apply pressure and to take risks, when they need to display a more hands-off approach. I have a pretty clear view of my ideal business l eader, and of course that’s where I ‘m trying to head: he or she should start up and grow a cash-rich, multi-interest international organization of tremendous strength and depth. B Sue Tucker The pace of technological change, and the rate at which businesses are changing , requires leaders to have a particular aptitude for technology and an understanding of the internet. A lot of people are aware of the opportunities here ,but awareness alone isn’t enough: in a true leader this needs to be coupled with clever marketing, product design and technological innovation, and keeping abreast of everything going on in the company. In fact the acid test , I think , is being able to use all of these skills to turn around a failing company. C Carol Godfrey E ffective leaders stand out from the herd. They’re often idiosyncratic, even eccentric.They have the confidence to be themselves, and not to adopt the language and attributes of the run-of-the-mill professional managers and accountants. What’s crucial is having the charisma or whatever it is that gives their staff confidence in them, so they can keep everyone on board when they want to make innovations. So often these don’t get off the ground because of lack of leadership, because after all, our response to change is significantly affected by how it’s introduced. D Brian MatthewsLeadership is about making things happen and being judged by results. Good ideas that go nowhere are a waste of time. Anticipate needs-those of customers for instance-and initiate action to meet those needs before the people concerned have even recognized they’ve got them. That way you’ll always be ahead of the game, whatever line you’re in. For instance, top stockbrokers will learn all about you and your business and keep thems elves completely up to date with your field in order to advise you. If they’re really good they ‘ll recognize trends even before you do . E Ana Costa Outstanding leaders understand both tactics and strategy, and are prepared to play a very long game to achieve their objectives. They understand that in negotiations they need the “ win-win” concept, because losers risk losing their dignity, which is no good for your long-term business relationship with them. Leaders must stay optimistic, whatever the odds, andkeep up morale of their company, even when the going’s tough. It’s important to be very much hands-on, too. A good leader will champion ideas that keep the company in the forefront.PART TWO Questions9– 14 Read the text taken from an article about the development of international managers 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) Search for the “ worldly –wise” company executives The quest for international managers is underway in virtually every industrialized economy , the search has been made urgent by the globalization of world markets and the growth in crossborder mergers and acquisitions. (0) Many firms report being so stretched that they simply do not have enough of the high-quality people they require to lead their their global expansion. Other companies are having difficulties releasing experienced people from existing operations in order to lead new international ventures. There are indications that a shorftage of internationally skilled people may be an important constraint on firms’ international ambitions. (9) However, identifying the need for international managers is easier than developing them. So what makes an international manager? Paul Evans, a professor at INSEAD, the European business school, does not believe that any particular nationality produces a more international manager. Neither does he believe that it’s a matter of having the ability to cope with a lifestyle that involves working in Madrid one day, London the next and Berlin the day after. (10) Rather, he believes that the secret of being a good international manger is being comfortable with managing diversity. Ford of Europe, which has encouraged the development of international managers for more than 20 years, says that its managers are globally-minded before they become global operators. (11) a car that you buy in the UK, for example, is going to be the same car that sells in Germany, Finland and Portugal, so the people who are involved in the car’s development have to be aware of the market requirements in all those different countries. Generally, it seems that the only effective way to develop international skills and perspectives is through direct international experience. (12) Such experiences open people’s minds to the fact that things are done differently lese where and encourages them to think in a wilder context.. Formulating effective strategies for developing a company’s management resource is a demanding exercise, with conflicting issues to be solved (13) Another dilemma is whether to use local managers or expatriates. The recruitment and development of effective international managers requires considerable financial resources and can be hard to justify at budget meetings. (14) however , without them, companies will continue to find their expansion plans frustrated by a lack of internationally effective managers.A from the moment they join the company, employees are faced with having to think internationallyB This can be through involvement in international task forces or through living and working abroad.C Should , for example, only an elite few receive international experience in preparation for top jobs or should it be offered to a wider group?D these problems mean that developing managers who think and operate globally is absolutely vital for companies operating in foreign markets.E Language training , overseas visits and in-house management courses are all expensive to implement.F Jet-setting between international operations merely creates a businessequivalent of the over-packaged tourist G Companies are now emphasizing the human skills involved in managing other people H These trends are pushing companies’ existing management resources to the limitPART THREE Questions 15 - 20 Read the following extract from a book on management and the questions on the opposite page . For each question 15–20,mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you chooseIn the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need. Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated. From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life. Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: on the one hand there are the “ pragmatists” and on the other “ the highly anxious” the fo rmer see their job as a means to an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to their local term , rather than the company as a whole . the second category, usually the majority, may respond to threatened changes with a feeling of having been let down, and even feel anger at the company for what they see as changing the terms of their employment. ` The employee communication process needs to be capable of accurately directing its messages at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is why middle managers and line managers are so key to communication. They are the people who know about the full rage of concerns among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Concordia puts responsibility for communication firmly on line managers. All their research points to the same conclusion: people prefer to get their information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationship and where arguments and hearts and minds –are lost. The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soon as you can. If you can’t provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yourself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communication is that there must be a fitbetween what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders. 15: in the last eight years, Concordia has A made over 80.000 employees reduncdant B completed a period of downsizing C reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy 16 from Concordia’s point of view, the role of communication is to A win employee support before going ahead with the changes B change the company’s core activities. C emphasise the positive aspects of the changes D explain the need for the changes 17 what does research show about most employees’ respo nse to change? A they expect it to have a bad effect on the company B they feel completely powerless C they become less loyal D they fell they have been treated unfairly 18 Concordia’s communication process mainly relies on A printed communication B departmental heads C personal communication D a separate, specialized unit 19 According to the writer, what is the guiding ;principle about giving information within an organization? A Never make promises about future developments B Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stage C always include plenty of hard information D Hold back until all the details can be provided 20 which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article? A employee attitudes to company communication B making company communication more effective C Researching company commmucation D Making employees feel less powerless。

The sign of it is " ￥", the same as that of Japanese currency. But Japanese currency is called "yen".The Renminbi, China's legal tender, is issued and controlled solely by the People's Bank of China. The exchange rates of the Renminbi are decided by the People's Bank of China and issued by the State Administration of Exchange Control. China operates foreign exchange in a unified way, with the State Administration of Exchange Control exercising the functions and powers of exchange control.Before 1994, the Chinese government managed the system as a dual-track foreign-exchange system. The dual-track system provided for two government-approved exchange rates, one was the official exchange rate, the other was the swap-market rate. The State Administration of Exchange Control (SAEC) set the official exchange rate for the RMB based on China's balance of payments and the exchange rates of her **petitor countries, such as South Korea. In 1986, the SAEC first set the official rates at 3.72 RMB per dollar.Primarily state-**panies used the official exchange rate, mostly to buy Foreign Exchange Certificates (FECs). FECs are a separate form of currency developed in 1980 for the foreigners to use when they paid for their expenses in China. But, in 1994, the People's Bank of China stopped issuing FECs and gradually withdrew them from circulation.The swap market, the other half of the dual-market system, was created in Shenzhen (the newly-built modern city located opposite Hong Kong) in 1985 for foreign and local businesses that had received official approval to exchange RMB and hard currency, there were quite a lot of swap centres, the one in Shanghai being the largest. During that period, about 80 % of the hard-currency transactions in this country took place in the swap market. The swap rate was 8.7 RMB per dollar. The dual-track foreign exchange system was not favorable to China's international trade and affected China's application for joining the WTO. So in 1994 the Chinese government decided to close the swap centres. The swap centre in Shanghai was replaced by the National Foreign Exchange Centre, which is a national inter-bank centre at which authorized banks can trade and settle foreign currencies.23.
