Er, for two thousand, it'll be two thousand five hundred pounds, or for a thousand, it'll be one thousand, five hundred pounds.

We recruited the new Personnel Officer in July, but because she has to relocate from Newcastle, I don't think she'll be able to begin until October. Woman: Well, we'll need to arrange some temporary cover for September.Man: OK. I'll look into it.[pause]Three: Which pie chart is correct?[pause]Man: . . . and I'm pleased to report that here at WTM, our market share has increased by ten per cent, taking us ahead of our rivals PTA for the first time. Of course, AVC are still the market leaders with a fifty-five-per-cent share, so... [pause]Four: Why is Jane unhappy about Michael's report?[pause]Woman: Where's the report I asked for, Michael?Man: Sorry, Jane, it's here, just finished. It's a bit late, but...Woman: That doesn't matter. Has anyone else seen it?Man: I circulated copies internally. I thought you asked me to.Woman: Not before I'd checked it first. If you've made mistakes in it, it won't be very good for the department.[pause]Five: What is the woman's current job with BGT?[pause]Man: Can you tell me about your work with BGT?Woman: Well, I started in nineteen ninety-two as Account Manager. The General Manager was keen to promote young staff quickly, so shortly after that, I became Project Team Leader. My boss, the Project Manager, became General Manager last year. Man: And you were promoted?Woman: Yes, I took his place.[pause]Six: What does the speaker think the company should do?[pause]Man: So, what will you do to keep the business going through this difficult time? Woman: As a low-cost airline, we're happy with the numbers using the internet to reserve ticket and customers report that our prices are competitive.

Man: No, leave it, I might use it in the afternoon[pause]Eight: Which graph shows the company figures?[pause]Man: Figures published today by the Falmouth Group received a mixed reaction.

Thank you for coming to hear abont Arlington Park. Some of you know a lot about it already, but for people who don't, the first thing to say is that if you do want to see what sort of work we do, on every third Thursday in the month, there's an exhibition, so come along to that - you're very welcome. At Arlington Park, we aim to help you not only to get the most out of your staff, but also the most out of you yourself. Our next two weekend workshops are covering two very important areas in this field: on the tenth of June, we have a workshop on communication.Nothing could be easier in our modern world and yet nothing is more difficult, too. On the seventeenth of July, we have a change in the programme; we previously advertised a course on using technology, but that day is now set aside for a course called simply 'Leadership', run by one of our best trainers, Richard Gordon.You probably know his management books.The one-day weekend workshops are just one of the types of courses we offer. We also offer three-day programmes, and these include accommodation. I'll leave a pile of leaflets about those with you, so that you can look at them at your leisure. Arlington Park is very well equipped, and managers always enjoy their stay. Our facilities are excellent, and we have special training suites, as well as a fitness centre.Every quarter, we publish a magazine - I've got a few copies here for those of you who haven't seen it before. We've just changed the name; it used to be Developing People, now it's called Moving Forward. The articles in it are writtenby the trainers and by the managers attending our courses.If anyone would like to go on our mailing list, would you please fill in one of these enquiry forms and leave it at reception? I'll pick up all the forms at the end of the morning. Now, onto more detail...[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part Three.

Questions 23 to 30.You will hear an interview with John Winterman,the Managing Director of a sports-equipment manufacturing company called Turners.For each question, 23-30, mark one letter (A, B orC) for the correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and mark A, B or C.Woman: ... and this morning, we welcome John Winterman, Managing Director of Turners, the sports company which manufactures golf and tennis equipment.Man: Morning.Woman: So, John, you took charge of the company after a management buy-out. What made you and the other managers sure that it would be a successful move?Man: Well, when we bought the business in nineteen ninety-seven, we knew there were financial problems to solve, including some hidden debts. But we felt the products themselves were really excellent, and a good basis from which to grow the company. And, although the brand image wasn't particularly well known, we felt it was possible to build on it.Woman: I see. I believe the previous owners weren't specialists in the field... Man: That's right.., they were a large engineering group called AFT.Woman: Did that cause any difficulties?Man: Yes. Although AFT used the same management systems as in its other -engineering - businesses, and these seemed to be working, the production system just wasn't right for a consumer goods company. Turners offers a wide range of products, and has a complex business mix as a result.Woman: I see. And how did their management system affect distribution?Man: Well, the first thing we realised was that, although there was an up-to-date computer system, it was impossible to follow the movement of products around the world. The items we manufactured had a different product number in each country! The methods of transport also varied enormously from one country to another, which made the invoices complicated.Woman: And what sort of service was the customer getting?Man: Well, it wasn't very efficient. Our customers, the sports outlets, complained that although they were usually on time, orders often had items missing. I think these outlets only stayed with us because there was still demand for our products.Woman: And how do you intend to promote the brand?Man: Well, with sports equipment, image is all important, because there's so much competition. Although AFT had been active in their promotions with sports clubs in the early days, they hadn't kept up their efforts. Consequently, many players, especially those still at schools, are unfamiliar with our name. Our aim now is to make Turners products a big name at all the important sports events across the world. Woman: What was your approach to reorganizing the company?Man: Well, the first thing we did was appoint new directors.Woman: And where did you start?Man: Well, we knew we had to spend money on marketing, but the most important thing was to introduce better management control of finances, and after that, to look very carefully at the organisation and cost of manufacturing.Woman: Did you make any changes there?Man: Oh, yes. To take one example, at one point we started out manufacturing tennis balls in Germany. But costs were lower in the Philippines. So in the end, we moved all our manufacturing there. By the end of this year, ninety-five per cent of our production will be there, although we are opening one small plant in Indonesia, too. Woman: And is the company on a better financial basis now?Man: Absolutely. We'll be in profit this year, and looking to expand.Woman: You plan to introduce new products then?Man: Yes. We've just launched a new product, a waterproof tennis ball, and we've signed contracts with several players from different countries to give us an international image, so I'm really pleased about that. But our key objective is to develop the products we have, such as tennis rackets, and improve them further. Woman: So the future looks promising.Man: It certainly does.Woman: Thanks, John.Man: Thank you.[pause]Now listen to the recording, again.[pause]That is the end of Part Four. You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to your AnswerSheet.[pause]Note: Teacher, stop the recording here and time ten minutes. Remind students when there is one minute remaining.That is the end of the test.。

They can be used to discuss new projects, review progress, or make important decisions. However, many meetings are not as effective as they could be. There are several reasons for this.One problem is that meetings are often not well - planned. People may not know the purpose of the meeting in advance, or there may be no clear agenda. This can lead to a lot of wasted time as people discuss irrelevanttopics. Another issue is that some people dominate the conversation, while others are too shy to speak up. This means that not all ideas are heard and considered.In addition, meetings can sometimes be too long. People may start to lose focus and become bored, especially if there are no breaks. This can also affect the quality of the decisions made.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Business meetings are very important.B. There are problems with business meetings.C. How to make business meetings more effective.2. According to the passage, why are some meetings not well - planned?A. People are too busy to plan.B. There is no one in charge of planning.C. People may not know the purpose or there is no clear agenda.3. What does the passage say about people in meetings?A. Everyone participates equally.B. Some people talk too much while others are too quiet.C. People are always focused.Passage 2.Online shopping has become increasingly popular in recent years. It offers many advantages over traditional shopping. For example, it is very convenient. You can shop from the comfort of your own home, at any time ofthe day or night. There is also a wider range of products available online than in most physical stores.However, there are also some disadvantages. One problem is that you cannot see or touch the products before you buy them. This can make it difficult to judge the quality. Another issue is that there may be security risks, such as the possibility of your personal information being stolen.Despite these problems, online shopping is likely to continue to grow. Many companies are working hard to improve the online shopping experience, for example by offering better product descriptions and more secure payment systems.1. What are the advantages of online shopping according to the passage?A. It is cheaper.B. It is convenient and has a wide range of products.C. You can get better service.2. What are the disadvantages of online shopping?A. You have to wait a long time for delivery.B. You can't see or touch the products and there may be security risks.C. There are fewer products available.3. What are companies doing to improve online shopping?A. Offering free delivery.B. Offering better product descriptions and more secure payment systems.C. Reducing prices.三、写作部分（共20分）（一）写一封电子邮件（10分）你是一家公司的员工，你的名字是John。

Thank you for coming to hear abont Arlington Park. Some of you know a lot about it already, but for people who don't, the first thing to say is that if you do want to see what sort of work we do, on every third Thursday in the month, there's an exhibition, so come along to that - you're very welcome. At Arlington Park, we aim to help you not only to get the most out of your staff, but also the most out of you yourself. Our next two weekend workshops are covering two very important areas in this field: on the tenth of June, we have a workshop on communication.Nothing could be easier in our modern world and yet nothing is more difficult, too. On the seventeenth of July, we have a change in the programme; we previously advertised a course on using technology, but that day is now set aside for a course called simply 'Leadership', run by one of our best trainers, Richard Gordon.You probably know his management books.The one-day weekend workshops are just one of the types of courses we offer. We also offer three-day programmes, and these include accommodation. I'll leave a pile of leaflets about those with you, so that you can look at them at your leisure. Arlington Park is very well equipped, and managers always enjoy their stay. Our facilities are excellent, and we have special training suites, as well as a fitness centre.Every quarter, we publish a magazine - I've got a few copies here for those of you who haven't seen it before. We've just changed the name; it used to be Developing People, now it's called Moving Forward. The articles in it are writtenby the trainers and by the managers attending our courses.If anyone would like to go on our mailing list, would you please fill in one of these enquiry forms and leave it at reception? I'll pick up all the forms at the end of the morning. Now, onto more detail...[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part Three. You now bare twenty seconds to check your answers. [pause]Part Four. Questions 23 to 30.You will hear an interview with John Winterman,the Managing Director of a sports-equipment manufacturing company called Turners.For each question, 23-30, mark one letter (A, B orC) for the correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the questions.[pause]Now listen, and mark A, B or C.Woman: ... and this morning, we welcome John Winterman, Managing Director of Turners, the sports company which manufactures golf and tennis equipment.Man: Morning.Woman: So, John, you took charge of the company after a management buy-out. What made you and the other managers sure that it would be a successful move?Man: Well, when we bought the business in nineteen ninety-seven, we knew there were financial problems to solve, including some hidden debts. But we felt the products themselves were really excellent, and a good basis from which to grow the company. And, although the brand image wasn't particularly well known, we felt it was possible to build on it.Woman: I see. I believe the previous owners weren't specialists in the field... Man: That's right.., they were a large engineering group called AFT.Woman: Did that cause any difficulties?Man: Yes. Although AFT used the same management systems as in its other -engineering - businesses, and these seemed to be working, the production system just wasn't right for a consumer goods company. Turners offers a wide range of products, and has a complex business mix as a result.Woman: I see. And how did their management system affect distribution?Man: Well, the first thing we realised was that, although there was an up-to-date computer system, it was impossible to follow the movement of products around the world. The items we manufactured had a different product number in each country! The methods of transport also varied enormously from one country to another, which made the invoices complicated.Woman: And what sort of service was the customer getting?Man: Well, it wasn't very efficient. Our customers, the sports outlets, complained that although they were usually on time, orders often had items missing. I think these outlets only stayed with us because there was still demand for our products.Woman: And how do you intend to promote the brand?Man: Well, with sports equipment, image is all important, because there's so much competition. Although AFT had been active in their promotions with sports clubs in the early days, they hadn't kept up their efforts. Consequently, many players, especially those still at schools, are unfamiliar with our name. Our aim now is to make Turners products a big name at all the important sports events across the world. Woman: What was your approach to reorganizing the company?Man: Well, the first thing we did was appoint new directors.Woman: And where did you start?Man: Well, we knew we had to spend money on marketing, but the most important thing was to introduce better management control of finances, and after that, to look very carefully at the organisation and cost of manufacturing.Woman: Did you make any changes there?Man: Oh, yes. To take one example, at one point we started out manufacturing tennis balls in Germany. But costs were lower in the Philippines. So in the end, we moved all our manufacturing there. By the end of this year, ninety-five per cent of our production will be there, although we are opening one small plant in Indonesia, too. Woman: And is the company on a better financial basis now?Man: Absolutely. We'll be in profit this year, and looking to expand.Woman: You plan to introduce new products then?Man: Yes. We've just launched a new product, a waterproof tennis ball, and we've signed contracts with several players from different countries to give us an international image, so I'm really pleased about that. But our key objective is to develop the products we have, such as tennis rackets, and improve them further. Woman: So the future looks promising.Man: It certainly does.Woman: Thanks, John.Man: Thank you.[pause]Now listen to the recording, again.[pause]That is the end of Part Four. You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to your AnswerSheet.[pause]Note: Teacher, stop the recording here and time ten minutes. Remind students when there is one minute remaining.That is the end of the test.。
