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.

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.。

Some of you know a lot about it already, but for people who don't, the first thing to say isthat 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 oneof 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'tright 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 verycarefully 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.。

2020年商务英语BEC初级模拟试题（一）PART ONEQuestions 1 – 8Look at the sentences below and at the five managers’ comments on leadership on the opposite page Which 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 thanonce .1、Successful leadership involves making sure that employees accept new ideas.2、A good leader can bring success to a company in difficulties3、Leaders should be assessed on the basis of their achievements4、The personalities of good leaders are generallydifferent from those of other managers5、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 suitdifferent circumstancesAMaurizio VernaLong-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 leader, 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 strenngth and depth.BSue TuckerThe 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.CCarol GodfreyEffective 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 cr ucial 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.DBrian 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 themselves 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 CostaOutstanding 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。
2020年商务英语BEC初级考试模拟试题
2020年商务英语BEC初级考试模拟试题Read the text taken from an article about the development of international managersChoose 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 executivesThe 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 fir ms’ 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 andBerlin 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 inall 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 differen tly 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 effectiveinternational 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 business equivalent of the over-packaged touristG、Companies are now emphasizing the human skills involved in managing other peopleH、These trends are pushing companies’ existing management resources to the limit参考答案： 9-10 DF 11-14 ABCE。

UK package holiday companies would love to have plenty of repeat business. Instead, in an effort to attract trade, they are forced to spend enormous sums on marketing --but they are operating in a very competitive market. So, although the big travel companies try hard to createattractive brands, if you ask the customers delayed at airports, many aren't even sure which company they've booked with. Ask customers of Sandersley, however, and this is probably their third or fourth holiday with the company.A Sandersley holiday doesn't come cheap; but for their customers this isn't an issue.The attraction is that they get an activity based 'club' which has escaped the notice of the general public. Even the location of the holiday is of minor importance.A high proportion of customers are families,because the adults are free to enjoy the activities on offer, while small children are in the care of people employed by Sandersleyjust for this purpose. These nannies get free flights and meals on top of their pay.Interestingly, most of the company's senior managersbegan at the bottom： for example, Carol Fletcher, the Marketing Manager, came as a ski guide in 1985, went away toset up her own catering business, sold it for a considerable sum, and returned to Sandersley in the late1990s.The company's performance over the years means that Itgets a steady stream of offers from large tour operators wanting to buy the company. Jerry Baker, who started the firm, came very close to selling' it for 30 million a few years ago. But at the last minute, Garmond, the potential buyer, wasitself taken over by an American travel company which didn't see a place for Sandersley in the group.So where does that leave Sandersley? Despite greatly increasing its turnover in the past four years, the company has a careful attitude to expansion.
