After you have finished your talk, your partner will ask you a question.?All right? Here are your topics.[Interlocutor hands each candidate adifferent topic card, and some paper and a pencil for notes]Interlocutor:?Choose one of the topics to talk about. You can make notes.[1 minute’s preparation time. Both candidates prepare their talks at the same time, separately.]Interlocutor:?All right now. Candidate Two, which topic have you chosen, A, B or C? Would you like to talk about what you think is important when managing a company?[Candidate Two talks]One of the most important features in any business is communication. Good communication is required at all stages of the business process.Within individual companies internal communication occur at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another concerning the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees. Negotiation are conducted concerning pay and working conditions. Managers communicate decisions and orders and try to improve morale and motivation through good communication. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production and wages.Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.Interlocutor:?Thank you. Now, Candidate One, please ask Candidate Two your question about his/her talk.[Candidate One asks question.]Can you tell me other key elements which lead to efficient management of a company?Candidate Two: The efficient management of a company requires many aspects, both intenal and external.

Would you like to talk about what you think is important when employing technical writers?[Candidate One talks]?Firstly, it is very important to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basics of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the ability to condense and organise complicated information to make it simple to understand. A good writer must also be able to cope with meeting tight deadlines. As far secondly as career prospects are concerned, after gaining valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of taking on management roles. They may then be responsible for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, who services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.Interlocutor:?Thank you. Now, Candidate Two, please ask Candidate One your question about his/her talk.[Candidate Two asks question.]Which factor is more important, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines?

BEC商务英语（中级）听力综合模拟试卷13(题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 3. PART THREEPART THREE听力原文：Man: Mrs. Taylor, if my memory serves me right, we have been working together for more than four years, is that so? Woman: Yes, roughly. Man: As we look back on our cooperation over these four years, I feel quite glad that we’ve achieved a lot. Thanks to our joint effort, our sales volume in France has been on a steady rise. Woman: I’m glad you say so. Frankly, both of us have benefited a lot from our cooperation. Man: True. And I think it’s time to talk about a long-term arrangement, don’t you think so? Woman: That’s just what I have in mind. What do you propose? Man: How about a sole agency agreement? If we come to terms, we’d be very glad to entrust all our business in France to you. Woman: That would be great. Let me assure you that if I’m appointed to your agent, you will have nothing to worry about. Man: I’ll take your word. Shall we have a look at the details? Woman: Yes, please. Man: First of all, we propose a three-year duration of the agency agreement. Woman: Three years? I think it’s a little bit longer. How about a bit shorter, say, two years? Man: Well, then let’s start with two years. Man: Settled. Second, the agency territory is limited to French market. And as our sole agent, you are not expected to sell any other competitive line of goods in this market. Woman: No, certainly not! These are reasonble restrictions. Man: Third, we require an annual turnover of 5.000 pieces in the first year and 6.000 pieces in the second year. Woman: 5,000 pieces in the first year? Don’t you think it’s too much? You know, the counrty is in a financial downturn now. That’s too big a number to be acceptable. Man: I don’t think so. I think you can fullfill the target easily. You see, with the sole agency, we shall no longer supply to any other dealers in your area. The whole French market is yours. Woman: Even so. that’s too big a number to be acceptable. Let’s put it 4,000 in the first year. As the economics gradually turns better, I think we can sell 6,000 pieces in the second year and we will strive to sell more. Man: All right, let’s fix it 4,000 pieces in the first year and 6,000 pieces in the second year. Woman: Thanks a lot. What do we gain from the agency? Man: Like all our representatives, you will receive a 5% commission. Woman: But I think we deserve a bigger commission for such a big turnover, don’t you think so? Man: In fact, we have already taken that into account. To tell you frankly, this commision is the highest we have ever given. Woman: In that case, I accept it. Of course, we wish to add another clause, for every 1,000 pieces sold in excess of the quota, we will get 1 % more in commission for our efforts. Man: All right.Woman: What about bad debts? Man: That’s the responsibility of the agent, I’m afraid, because, it’s the agent’s job to ensure prompt collection of all the proceeds. Woman: What are the terms of payment? Man: Payment is to be made by L/C within reasonbale time, say, half a month after the delivery date. Woman: Sounds good. Man: Another thing is that every half a year, we would like to receive from you a detailedreport on current market conditions and the users’ comments on our products. Woman: No problem. Man: Then let me draw up the agreement. I will have it finished in a week. Woman: Thanks a lot! When shall we sign the contract? Man: How about after two weeks this time, let me see, on Januray 22nd? Woman: That would be fine. put it 4,000 in the first year. As the economics gradually turns better, I think we can sell 6,000 pieces in the second year and we will strive to sell more.

It is the subject of a new book byElizabeth Royte called Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It. Elizabeth is here to talk about her book. Welcome, Elizabeth.Woman: Thanks, Mr. Darcy.Man: OK. You and I... At least I’m old enough to remember-just opening up a tap and drinking a glass of water. What happened? And when did it start?Woman: Well, it started in 1977 when Perrier, the French carbonated water, came over the Ocean and it was a big hit in urban markets with the certain demographics...Man: Those were the little bottles.Woman: Little glass bottles. Right. And it was very popular in niche market. People were walking on the street sipping from Perrier at that point. There was a kind of big, boring innovation in 1989 when it became possible to put water in light-weighted, cheap, crystal-clear plastic bottles made of PET plastics. That’s when the market really took off. In 1990. bottled water was a 115-million-dollar business. In 2007. it’s worth 15 billion dollars in this country.Man: OK, Elizabeth. So these little bottled water caught on and became something huge. How did that happen?Woman: Well, that happened in the 90s when Coke and Pepsi got into the game. They were taking a lot of the pop shots for selling soda to kids and these high calorie drinks. There was an obesity epidemic. And they saw their market share dropping so came up with their own waters.Woman: Coke came up with Dasani: Pepsi came up with Aquafina and they have these very complicated. elaborate distributing networks and...Woman: ...they have tens of million dollars to spend on advertising.Man: So they have the system in place to distribute and market huge quantity of bottled water.Woman: Exactly. They have a very smart idea of telling us we need to drink eight-ounce of water a day and do a lot of Yoga.Man: That was their idea?Woman: Yeah. Well, many people have this idea but they all capitalise on this aspirations of ours, that everyone uses a Yoga model to sell their waters and part of beautiful, healthy lifestyle is to have your own plastic bottle of water.Man: And your book describes what goes in to make those waters... the filtering process —is a little different from tap water.Woman: Oh, sure. It is very different. But there are couples of different kinds of bottled water. The Aquafina and the Dasani are made from municipal water and they’re very filtered and then they’re going to bottles. They are not run through city pipes like our tap water. But then there is the spring water —the Poland Springs, the Arrowhead, Zephyr Hills that actually do come from springs in the protected areas, some of them in the woods. And those don’t go through all those filtering because they won’t be spring water anymore. You’ll be stripping out all those tasty minerals that people like.Man: Now, Elizabeth, we all like to drink this water. Many of us do. But it also has an effect on the environment which you discuss in some details in your book.Woman: Right. I write about the backlash that started about a year ago when people started to think about that carbon footprint of the water bottles. And people made much amount of the oil to make the bottles, urn, 17 million barrels of oil to make bottles just to use in the U.S. and that’s not even counting all the oil taken to transport them, to chill the water, and then to pick up and dispose those bottles when people are done with them.You will hear an interview. Mr. Darcy is an interviewer. Elizabeth Royte is the writer of a book called Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It. For each question(23-30), mark one letter(A, B or C)for the correctanswer.

But first, a disclaimer: Although I am an attorney, the legal information in this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for seeking personalised legal advice from an attorney licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. Further, I do not intend to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. We have Jennifer Anniston from Malibu, California calling. Hello, Jen.Woman: Hello, John. Millions of Americans download media files via the Internet. But when are these downloads legal, and when are they not?Man: Excellent questions, Jen! The Quick and Dirty Tip is that if you normally have to pay for it at your local bookstores, you must also pay for it on the Internet. You may not download it for free. Under the federal laws, artistic works such as songs, movies, books, and photographs can be copyrighted. Once the work is copyrighted, the creator of the work gets a number of rights including the exclusive rights to copy and distribute it.Woman: Can you give me an example?Man: Yes. For example, U2 wrote and recorded an excellent album titled The Joshua Tree. They copyrighted their songs and the artwork used on the CD. Then you buy it. You can listen to the album, use songs in a mix CD or playlist on your iTunes, etc. But, you can not make 100 copies and sell them on the street comer because you are infringing on U2’s right to do so. They made the album and copyrighted it, so they get to control its distribution.Man: The same idea applies to the Internet. You can buy The Joshua Tree, burn it to your computer, and listen to it. You can not then charge people $1 each to download a song from you. Under The No Electronic Theft Act, you can not give the song away for free either. You are, again, doing things that only U2 has the right to do: copy and distribute.Woman: How about file sharing programmes that have become quite popular?Man: Well, first of all, let me tell our listeners what file sharing programmes are, shall we? The file sharing programmes are computer programmes that let users grant public access to a folder on their computers.Woman: So, I could put in my public folder photos from my vacation to Hawaii, a short film that I created and copyrighted, and the songs from The Joshua Tree. Then, other users in the network could download the files to their own computers.Man: Let’s look at each inturn: Your vacation pictures are fine because they are not copyrighted. You can share them with anybody you want, and anyone can distribute them to anyone else. The short film you created is slightly different. Assuming that you own all the copyrights to it, you have rights to the film and can control how you distribute it. You have the right to post the film, and people can download it because you chose to make the episode downloadable for free. But, People do not have the right to redistribute the film by posting it on YouTube. If people downloaded the film and then sent the file to your dad, they are technically infringing on your copyright. This is true even though you do not charge them for the file.Woman: How about U2’s album?Man: U2’s album is a pretty straightforward example. Once I put the copyrighted songs up, I am distributing them, and anyone who downloads the song is effectively stealing it from U2 for the purposes of copyright law.This is true regardless of the number of songs I put up, the quality of the recording, and whether one person or a million people download the song.Woman: What are the penalties for violation of the copyrights?Man: The penalties for copyright infringement range considerably. For willful commercial infringement, the penalty can be as high as six months in prison and $250,000 in fines. Initially, the government and copyright holders sued only the makers of file sharing programmes, such as Napster and Grokster. But, copyright holders have been cracking down on individual users too. On September 8, 2003, the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA), the trade group that represents the U.S. recording industry, filed 261 lawsuits against individual file-sharers. Among the 261 people targeted, four were college students who settled the claims for $12,000 to $17,500.

剑桥商务英语中级-123_真题(含答案与解析)-交互

剑桥商务英语中级-123(总分100, 做题时间90分钟)READINGPART ONE·Look at the statements below and the text on mobile advertising 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.Mobile Advertising The Next Big ThingAAdvertising on mobile phones is a tiny business. Last year spending on mobile ads was $ 871 million worldwide according to lnforma **s & Media, a research firm, compared with $ 24 billion spent on internet advertising and $450 billion spent on all advertising. But marketers are hailing the mobile phone asadvertising's promised land. It is destined, some say, to replace not only internet advertising,the latest fad, but also television, radio, print and billboards, the four traditional pillars of the business. BThe 2.5 billion mobile phones around the world can potentially reach a much bigger audience than the planet's billion or so**puters. The number of mobile phones in use is also growing much faster than the number of computers, especially in poorer countries. Furthermore, most people carry their mobile with them everywhere—something that cannot be said of television or computers.CYet the biggest selling point of mobile ads is what marketing types call ' relevance' . Advertisers believe that about half of all traditional advertising does not reach the right audience. But mobile advertising through text messages is the most focused: if marketers use mobile firms' profiles of their customers cleverly enough, they can tailor their advertisements to match each subscriber's habits. DIn September, Blyk, a new mobile operator, launched a service in Britain that aims to do just that. It offers subscribers 2]7 freetext messages and 43 free minutes of voice calls per month as long as they agree to receive six advertisements by text message every day. To sign up for the service,customers must fill out a questionnaire about their hobbies and habits. So advertisers can target theirmessages very precisely. ' Britain is the largest, but also the trickiest European ad market, so if it works here it will work everywhere,' says Pekka Ala-Pietila, chief executive and one of the founders of Blyk.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN1.Customers are rewarded in return for text message advertisements on their mobile phones.A B C D该问题分值: 1答案:D“顾客因为手机上的短信广告而得到一定的回报。

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。

大学剑桥商务英语中级阅读分类模拟试卷

大学剑桥商务英语中级阅读分类模拟试卷READINGPART ONEASalinas outlines the key qualities of good management in this autobiography. He believes that decisions should be based on facts, not opinions; that people's strengths should be exploited; and that disagreement is some times necessary. But the main point he makes is that leadership means performing well at all times and setting a good example.BIn this collection of essays, top business leaders predict how businesses will change over the next few years. They analyse changes in business and society and their effects on job markets, as well as taking a look at possible strengths and weaknesses of leading economics and their currencies. This collection outlines a vision of tomorrow's business world and the type of leaders that will be required.CThis book is a well-researched study of the problem of leadership in global quoted companies. 160 international business leaders were asked how they added value to their companies and their answers form the main part of this book. Both managers and companies are analysed in order to show how they cope with difficult issues. A useful book for all senior managers.D100 well-known US business leaders through this century are described in this book, which analyses how their fortunes were made and sometimes lost. The background, business career character and personal life of each individual are outlined, creating an impressive collection of biographies and an excellent reference work.1、This is an account of one business leader's experiences.2、This book suggests probable trends in the business world.3、In this book you learn about the lives of business leaders from the past.4、The writer of this book gives his personal views of what makes a good business leader.5、This book looks at how large companies deal with various problem areas.6、This book is based on interviews with business leaders.7、This book describes both successes and failures.PART TWOAnalysing the EntrepreneurThe ever-increasing attraction of under-graduate courses in business studies demonstrates that many young people begin their working lives determined to be a success in business. Many of them will have ambitions of becoming bosses. （0） G. . That should be the question which all ambitious young business people ask themselves.Some graduates learn how to run a business in someone else's time, and then in their early thirties, start out on their own. That course of action is relatively common andstraightforward. 8 Often, however, their business flair comes at the expense of more mundane business skills such as team building and maintaining harmony.A recent study, in which seventeen successful entrepreneurs took part in in-depth interviews, as did a similar number of chief executives, concluded that honesty and strong moral principles are important characteristics of entrepreneurs who achieve lasting success. According to the various tests and self-assessment questionnaires used in the interviews, seventy per cent of entrepreneurs have these characteristics, as opposed to only twenty-eight per cent of chief executives. 9 It would seem that most entrepreneurs deserve more credit than people generally give them.This ethical style of leadership fosters a culture in which expectations are uncompromisingly high and in which people believe they will be properly rewarded for their individualcontribution. 10 Employees often complain that the worst kind of bosses are the ones who own the business, as they can be very intolerant of others who make mistakes.Entrepreneurs are passionate about their work but they have not worked their way up through the organisation and tend to lack the people management qualities that chief executives have developed over long careers. 11 Of course, it could be argued that the single-mindedapproach of entrepreneurs is what makes them successful; it certainly enables them to put extraordinary effort into what they do.The study indicates that generally chief executives can match entrepreneurs in terms of drive and determination. There is one exception and that relates to taking risks. 12 The chief executive can, on the other hand, always move to another company.But in the end, if there are no entrepreneurs, there is no work for chief executives. It is the people that start businesses who are the original wealth creators.A. However, it can also result in entrepreneurs being profoundly disappointed when others fail to live up to their high standards.B. They need to have the confidence to make everyone in the organisation believe that this is no ordinary place and no ordinary job.C. Given the common perception that entrepreneurs are only in business to make money, this very positive finding was perhaps the most surprising.D. They are less likely to promote teamwork and co-operation than chief executives, who are much better at reading and understanding those around them.E. After all, if it is your own company, you cannot walk away, and you will do anything either to keep it afloat or to help it prosper.F. But true entrepreneurs do not necessarily wait until their business knowledge has improved or until the time is right-they have always been driven to achieve.G. But is it best for them to become entrepreneurs and start their own business or work towards running someone else's?PART THREEThink Twice About Being First to MarketNew research offers fresh insight on when to launch a product or service, and shows that being first to market isn't always a competitive advantage.In 2004, David Cohen had an idea for a social network for mobile phones that would connect users in the real world. His Boulder (Colo.)-based company, called iContact, raised $600,000 from investors and the founders' contributions, launched a beta version, and seemed poised to tap the much hyped mobile software market. Cohen, then 36, had already founded a successful software company. But after 18 months, he was unable to get phone carriers to distribute his software, and he shuttered the company, returning 80% of his investors' money. "Everybody was saying mobile was coming, it was going to be open; GPS was coming, it was going to be great," says Cohen. "That didn't really happen for another four years." Bets on mobile applications didn't begin to pay off until Apple's (AAPL) iPhone app store opened the market in 2008.Conventional wisdom says being first to market creates a competitive advantage. Reality is more complicated. Market opportunities are constantly opening and closing, and a hit idea at one point could be a dud a year earlier or a yawning "me too" business a year later. It's tough—likely impossible—to pinpoint the best moment to enter a market, but common sense dictates new entrepreneurs can improve their odds if they weigh how much they stand to gain or lose by waiting.New academic research suggests one way entrepreneurs can evaluate whether they should enter a market first or wait on the sidelines. The decision depends on how hostile the learning environment is; that is, how much entrepreneurs can learn by observing other players before they launch compared to what they learn from participating after they enter, according to Moren Levesque, an entrepreneurship researcher at the University of Waterloo.The core findings on timing is this: in a hostile learning environment, entrepreneurs gain relatively little benefit by watching others. For example, if the relevant knowledge is protected intellectual property, studying the market before entering wouldn't yield much advantage. In these situations, the trade-off favours entering early. But in less hostile learning environments, where entrepreneurs gain valuable information likely to increase their success just by watching other companies, companies benefit from waiting and learning lessons from earlier players. IContact's successors, for example, may have learned from watching the company's trouble getting mobile networks to distribute their software, a barrier that was removed by the iPhone's app store.However, deciding when to enter a market solely on the advantages of learning is not enough. Entrepreneurs also need to launch before an opportunity closes. In the summer of 2007, Sunny Gupta, a serial entrepreneur in Seattle, began exploring an idea for on-demand software tohelp large companies track their IT spending and reduce costs, after a contact at Wall Street firm casually mentioned the issue. He spent that summer and early fall talking to chief information officers at Fortune 500 companies about the type of software they needed. Gupta originally planned to spend about a year building the product. But on a trip to New York in October 2007 to meet with CIOs at financial companies, he saw they were under intense pressure to cut costs and justify their IT spending—precisely what his product would do. Gupta realized he needed to speed up his launch to take advantage of the market opportunity before other companies got there. He and his co-founders started working around the clock and by November, Apptio (as they dubbed the firm) raised $7 million in venture capital. By March 2008, Apptio had four paying customers using a beta version of the product. A full launch followed in June, and Gupta had already demonstrated Apptio's ability to reduce costs by the time the financial crisis erupted in September. Apptio now has nearly three dozen clients and 30 employees. "I believe the window of opportunity was within those six months: from March to September 2008," Gupta says now.There is, of course, some element of luck. Cohen believed he was positioning iContact at a similar sweet spot in the market. But entrepreneurs who ignore timing, or assume that being first is always better, do so at their peril. Deciding when to enter a market is an irreversible and important decision.13、Why did Cohen shutter the company after just 18 months?A. His investors asked him to return the money.B. The software market did not get enough attention.C. He couldn't get mobile networks to use their software.D. His company had competitive rivals.14、What does the author suggest by saying "a hit idea at one point could be a dud a year earlier or a yawning 'me too' business a year later"?A. Being first to market creates a competitive advantage.B. Reality is more complicated.C. New entrepreneurs should wait for the best moment to enter a market.D. Market opportunities open and close constantly.15、What does "improve their odds" in the second paragraph mean?A. Increase the possibility of successB. Get a deeper insight on the marketC. Have a more favorable business environmentD. Develop more mature products16、Which of the following statements is not true according to Moren Levesque?A. Entrepreneurs benefit little by observing others in a hostile learning environment.B. Entrepreneurs are likely to succeed by waiting and learning lessons from earlier players.C. Being first to market or waiting depends on how hostile the learning environment is.D. In a less hostile learning environment, entering early has a competitive advantage.17、How did Sunny Gupta succeed in the market as a pioneer?A. He predicted the financial crisis successfully.B. His software was favored by chief officers at Fortune 500 companies.C. His software product was a breakthrough in the market.D. He grasped the right moment to enter the market.18、Which of the following factors does the article suggest that David Cohen is lack of compared with Sunny Gupta?A. Innovative ideasB. Venture capitalC. LuckD. Market opportunityPART FOUREmployment Opportunities for Graduateswith the Provincial BankThe provincial Bank is one of the biggest fiscal institutions in the U. K. .

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 biggestbank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits ,Andrew Buxton, the bank's managing director and an offspring of its founding families ,was a pointed chairman and chief executive ,with effect from January1st 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 LasyApril 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 thatBarclays 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.

Secondly ,in the 1990s , house wives are more free from the heavy housework with more and more household utensils. Families are very happy to spend holidays outside with mothers or wives. Thirdly, travelling abroad can also mean enjoying comfortable weather in another country. Therefore less peoplego to crowded seaside ,they turn to other ways.。

剑桥商务英语中级分类模拟15

剑桥商务英语中级分类模拟15剑桥商务英语中级分类模拟15SPEAKINGPART ONE1、 The interview--about 3 minutes· In this part interlocutor asks questions to each of the candidates in turn. You in this part have to give information about yourself and express personal opinions.PART TWO2、 "Mini presentation"--about 6 minutes· In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your idea.What's the reason and disadvantage of interest rate increase?· The People's Bank of China failed to curb over investment in such sectors as steel, property, cement and aluminum by other means, it would resort to rate increases.· Interest rate increases would lure even more overseas capital into China.What is important when aiming to improve production quality?· Up-to-date equipment· Staff trainingWhat is important when aiming to improve customer service?· Staff training· Customer satisfaction surveysPART THREE3、 Discussion--about 5 minutes· In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic. You have 30 second to look at the prompt card, an example of which is below, and then about 3 minutes to discuss the topic with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.Your company wants you to· What part of the company the delegation should visit.· Which company's personnel the de legation should meet.答案:SPEAKINGPART ONE1、[解析]Q: Question A: AnswerQ: What's your name? How to spell?A: My name is Alice. It's spelled as A--I--I--C--E.Q: What do you study?A: I major in business in Tsinghua University.Q: What do you like about your study?A: I learned how to deal with people, this will be very useful in the future. Q: Do you come from a large family or a small one?A: My family is just the same as many others. Because of the family planning policy in China, I have no brothers or sisters.Q: When you choose a job, do you pay attention to its environment?A: I have to say yes. I wish to work in a skyscraping office building. Perhaps it's out of vanity, since when I flaunt my working place, everybody would know it and admire.Q: How do you think China's membership in WTO will benefit China?A: Well, it's a big topic to talk about. But I'm sure it will benefit China and other WTO members as well. The common Chinese customers will benefit most from it because prices of imported products will be reduced and the quality and after-sales services of national products will be improved.Q: What do you think of the unemployment problem in China?A: I think the unemployment problem is getting more and more serious now. China is a country with a large population and there have always been more labors than required. It was not a big problem in the past under the planned economy system, but now enterprises could not afford the burden of a surplus labor force and many workers in state-owned enterprises are being laid off. Something must be done about it before more serious problems arise. PART TWO2、[解析]It depends on the economic trend whether there will be an interest rate hike. If the People's Bank of China failed to curb over-investment in such sectors as steel, property, cement and aluminum by other means, it would resort to rate increases just as developed countries have to meet similar situations. Economists point out that the central bank, however, still has worries because interest rate increases would lure even more overseas capital into China to cash in on the already big rate gaps between Renminbi and foreign currencies including the US dollar, resulting in heightened pressures on Renminbi appreciation. If more so-called "hot money" flows into China, the central bank will purchase it under the current stringent force administration by releasing more Renminbi base money unwillingly, offsettingits efforts to rein in money supply. So, experts believe the central bank will announce rate hikes.As the old saying goes, you can't make bricks without straw. If the equipment is outmoded, your staff can only make very limited improvement to the production quality. Their potentiality would be wasted, no matter how skillful they are. A knife in match for a gun, sticking to your out-of-date weapon could only lead to a crushing defeat in the battle. His principle also applies to the war of business.And the staff members are priceless resources for an organization. A department manager should look upon his subordinates as his own children. Why do parents send their kids to school and pay for their tuitions? Parentswant their children to be equipped with skills that will allow them to be productive and prosperous. A manager's investment in their subordinates education should strive for the same goal.PART THREE3、[解析]A: I am honored to have this opportunity to work with you two. As is informed to us, before the delegation leaves, there are three topics to be discussed on the agenda. Now, let's begin with the first one, that is, what sections of the company the delegation should visit.B: I would suggest that they'd better take a look at their production line to make sure the products are produced with high efficiency and good quality. You know, the process sheets may reveal a lot of information. We need that to decide whether to conclude the business with them.C: Yeah. We are interested in their most recently developeditems. They can be very competitive in the market. We have to make sure the products go through strict checks and put quality of the article as the first consideration. People always say the quality is the soul of an enterprise, there is a good reason for it. Shall we move to the next subject? Namely, which company's personnel the delegation should meet.A: Definitely. In my point of view, they should ask for a meeting with the sales manager. Given the sound reputation of the two companies, I predict great possibilities for us to place an order. If that is the case, it is unavoidable to meet the sales manager to negotiate over the price.B: I am really positive that the quotation they will be given can be very favourable. They won't miss the opportunity to expand their business to Asian market and open up an outlet here. And we enjoyed a steady profit growth in recent years and deserve to be trusted. We may get their best offer.C: Don't be too optimistic, I am not so sure about that. Better be prepared for every possibility. We are supposed to get down to the facts, not fantasies. A: Don't worry. Our delegation members are all very experienced in negotiation. Now, it is time to talk about what kinds of activities should be arranged for the delegation. Personally I don't think it is a wise decision to prearrange it.B: You have my vote on that. The other side may have their own arrangements. They may involve a city tour or some other entertainments. If they come up with something particular, we can ask our delegation to keep the headquarter posted.C: With the updated reports of the delegation, I believe everything is going to the fine, I am confident that this trip of them can come to a successful conclusion.。
