六、题型示例
（一）阅读理解Reading comprehension.
Although it is nothing new for companies to build relationships with customers, it has
generally been done on a one-to-one basis. In recent years, however, technological developments have made it possible to build up individual relationships with clients on a much larger scale, and this more sophisticated kind of operation is known as relationship marketing. Relationship marketing aims to increase sales through deliberate efforts to retain customers and promote two-way communication with them and new technology has make communication possible with a for larger customer base than before. The information gathered forms the basis of highly technical analyses of customer purchasing and profitability, which can be used to increase sales.
The building of good personal relationships with customers is usually integral to the management of small businesses, and owners of small corner shops clearly illustrate the essence of relationship marketing, although the technology available to them is far less advanced than that available to, say, a supermarket chain. Small shopkeepers have direct knowledge of regular customers and become familiar with their needs, likes and dislikes. The shopkeepers can then provide services tailored to individual needs. Over time, a bond of loyalty is likely to develop between shopkeepers and regular customers.
The benefits of relationship marketing enjoyed by small businesses are now available to big businesses, thanks to a number of developments. First and foremost is the increasing recognition of the importance of profitability of retaining existing customers. Secondly, technologies have been developed which enable the collection, manipulation and analysis of huge banks of customer information. Large retailers can use store cards to obtain detailed background information about customer’s ages, salaries and lifestyles, and point-of-sale technology can be sued to track purchases made by every customer. Electronic storage enables all of this information to be retained, manipulated and integrated, while detailed analyses can be carried out on ever more powerful computers. Companies are thus able to target individuals amongst their thousands of customers with unique promotions or information matched to their back grounds and to their purchasing tendencies. Thirdly, companies feel a need to use relationship marketing because of increased competition: amassing knowledge about customers and building up customer relationships through interactive contact can enable organizations to differentiate their products or services more easily form those of competitors.
However, relationship marketing is not always the right route for organizations to take, and is not appropriate for all customers. Some bank customers, for example, cost more to serve than the bank actually makes form their custom, while a supermarket customer who spends very little and does not shop regularly does not justify the expenditure of several pounds per annum on relationship marketing. In addition, customers may not always be interested in a relationship, even where there are demonstrable benefits to be had.
Overall, successful relationship marketing depends upon selecting and targeting the customers you wish to retain, and identifying sales areas where the investment and effort will be worthwhile. Many organizations have found the approach to be very rewarding in terms of customer retention and related profitability, but relationship marketing is still a developing field and is neither cheap nor easy to operate. It involves an integrative approach which draws marketing, quality and customer service together; it also depends upon developing the capacity of every employee particularly front-line staff to market the goods or services of the organization in a customer-focused way; and finally, it can require heavy investment in appropriate information technology.
1. In the first paragraph, the writer describes relationship marketing as ____.
A. an idea that has passed in and out of fashion over the last few years.
B. a term used for an activity that used to exist in a more basic form.
C. a way for a company to advertise to its customers.
D. a way for a company to analyze its profitability.
2. Why are small shopkeepers used to illustrate relationship marketing?
A. Their success depends on their relationships with their customers.
B. They keep information about their customers on computer.
C. They were the first to use the term relationship marketing.
D. Their relationship with customers has started to change recently.
3. One reason why large companies didn’t use relationship marketing in the past is that ____.
A. they underestimated the true value of customer loyalty.
B. heir customers didn’t want them to collect information.
C. they didn’t need to find out about individual customers.
D. they didn’t think they could justify the expenses.
（二）快速阅读Skimming and scanning.
There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.
In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.
An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.
In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition; every person’s place within the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.
1. What is the main purpose of the passage？
A. To outline contrasting types of economic systems.
B. To explain the science of economics.
C. To argue for the superiority of one economic system.
D. To compare barter and money-exchange markets.
2. In the second paragraph, the word “real” in “real goods” could best be replaced by ____.
A. high quality
B. concrete
C. utter
D. authentic
3. According to the passage, a barter economy can generate ___.
A. rapid speed of transactions
B. misunderstandings
C. inflation
D. difficulties for the traders
4. According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in the administered system？
A. Individual households
B. Small businesses
C. Major corporations
D. The government
5.Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining a person’s position in a traditional society？
A. Family background
B. Age
C. Religious beliefs
D. Custom
（三）名词解释Define the following terms.

商务英语阅读高分技巧 阅读过关 词汇先行
商务英语阅读高分技巧阅读过关词汇先行 商务英语阅读高分技巧：阅读过关词汇先行 作为语言的基本单位，词汇的重要性不言而喻，而且通过近几年的试题，大家越来越认识到词汇的认知对于解题的重要：有时候往往就是一个生词毁一道题，而一道题则有可能导致整个成绩下降一个分数段。词汇的认知不仅影响着阅读成绩，而且作为语言能力的基本载体，词汇还在听、说、写考试中都占有重要的一席。因此，我总会在第一堂课就告诉学生们词汇的重要性，如何去记忆词汇，如何解决考试中的词汇问题。 首先，加大平时生活中词汇的积累。其实是一种习惯，一旦养成了好的习惯，无论是词汇，还是口语，抑或听力都会变得很轻松。因为大家要养成在生活中发现英语词汇，体会英语词汇，运用英语词汇。比如，dew这个词，基本上90%以上的同学都会觉得这是个生词，但事实上可能一半以上的同学都曾经见过它，只是从未想要去跟它打个招呼而已，想想我们在超市买矿泉水时估计定都买过这个牌子：冰露(ice dew)，但是又有多少人注意过它呢，顺便记住这个单词呢?这只是因为我们没有养成随时随地学单词的习惯。但是一旦养成了，其实每天每个学生都会学到很多很多实用的生活词汇，无论是对以后的海外生活，还是对于考试都是不无裨益的。我记得我上大学时有次老师提问肥皂怎么说，大家都很轻松地回答道：
soap。相信大家都知道这个词，但是老师又接着问道：香皂怎么说。我们大家一下子都陷入了沉默，只有一个同学回答上来了beauty soap，大家都很服她，问她在哪里背的这个词，她说她买香皂时在包装盒上看的。这时我才发现其实学习不只是看看书，听听老师讲课那么枯燥的事。当你去生活中发现英语，感受英语，记住那些和我们生活相关的英语词汇就变成了小菜一碟。 其次，养成每天背单词的习惯。也许每天五个，每天十个，或者二十个，这取决于个人的记忆力和领悟力。每天背的.单词自然会有一部分会忘记，但是通过重复和日常应用来巩固，总有部分会属于你。在这里我不想多说如何记单词的诀窍，这对每个人都不太一样，但是我相信一点：一个单词如过不会使用，那就永远不属于你。我上大学时经常会把每天学到的单词造成句子，然后串联成小短文，尽管前言不达后语，但是我可以通过这种方式来检查我是否掌握了这些单词，增强我的记忆。另外朗读永远是最有效的记单词的方式之一：视觉、听觉以及和舌头的配合行成的立体记忆显然构成了一道高墙，牢牢地将词汇围在了你的大脑里，防止任何的流失。 其实剑桥雅思系列教材就提供了非常好的词汇，如果能把该系列每套题都做精读，重点词汇都能够结合上下文进行认知，变成自己

商务英语阅读技巧 商务英语的定义 ?Hutchinson&Waters 认为商务英语(Business English, BE) 是英语的一种社会功能变体, 是专门用途英语(English for specific purpose)中的一个分支, 是英语在商务场合中的应用, 是一种包含了各种商务活动内容、适合商业需要的标准英文。 ?英国商务英语专家Nick Brieger (1997) 提出了“商务英语范畴”理论, 即“商务英语应包括语言知识(language knowledge)、交际职能 (communication skills)、专业知识(professional content)、管理职能(management skills) 和文化背景(cultural awareness) 等核心内 容”(向嫣红, 2002: 21)。在技术引进、对外贸易、招商引资、涉外保险、国际金融、国际运输、对外劳务承包等商务活动中所使用的英语都可统称为商务英语。 商务英语的语言特点 ?商务英语作为一种专门用途语言(English For Special Purpose)，源于普通英语, 并以普通英语为基础,与普通英语(English For General Purpose)相比，两者在基本词汇、句型、语法的使用上具有共性，但在专业词汇、句式特点、篇章结构及表达方式等方面，商务英语又具有其自身的特点，只有全面把握商务英语的语言特点，才能更为全面和深入地理解商务英语文章，全面提高商务英语阅读水平。 词汇 ?商务英语用词有明显的专业性 商务英语是属于商务领域中的一种应用语言，其语言应用的显著特点就是专业性强，词义面相对较窄，词汇运用较为科学、专业。许多普通英语中的常见词汇在商务英语中则有其特殊的专业含义。有些词汇在商务环境中的意思与其基本意思有些联系，但也有很多词汇在商务环境的词义和它的基本含义毫无联系。例如：trust本意是“相信、信任”，在商务英语中则是“信托”的意思；promotion本意是“提升、晋升”，在商务英语中则是“促销”的意思；claim本意是“声称”，在商务英语中则是“索赔”的意思；future本意是“未来”，在商务英语中则是“期货”的意思。还有很多诸如此类的词汇，仔细分析一下便可以发现两种语境中不同的意思还是多少有些联系的。 ?但是下面列出的单词，它们在商务语境中的意思和它们的本意毫无联系。 outstanding 本意是“杰出的”，在商务英语意为“欠款未付的”； instrument 本意是“仪器，乐器”，在商务英语中意为“票证”；average 本意是“平均数”，在商务英语中意为是“海损”；security本意是“安全”，在商务英语中则意为“证券”。 商务英语中一词多义的特点非常突出

Chapter 1 Why China Works 中国是今年唯一呈现出重大发展的主要经济体（economy），由于它通常是唯一敢于打破经济教科书中每一条例的经济体。事实上，中国不像其他五大经济体那样发展缓慢的主要原因是，它宏观调控的能力（its capacity for macro-economic control）。 为什么中国市场经济体系奏效？（market economic system）目前，欧美等国正通过银行及汽车业国有化及金融业实施新的有力规定（regulations），走向宏观调控。但问题更加紧迫（the question has a new urgency）。中国看上去最能驾驭（navigate）七十年内最糟的经济滑坡（downturn）。 在危机中，中国官员既能吸取像西方同行（counterparts）的传统市场工具，也能吸取中国市场经济体系的积累经验（arsenal）。去年早期，由于房地产市场（housing market）过热，中国官员仅命令银行削减房贷（cut back on housing loans），然后随着房屋销售量下降（fall），他们提供类似更低的房屋购置税（lower taxes on home purchases）。最近几周，他们展开类似西方的经济救援行动（launch economic rescue efforts），其中包括价值6000亿的大计划以增加政府开支和大幅利率削减（ramp up government spending）（big interests cuts）。但同时，他们也发布在西方国家眼里是不合理的干涉的命令，例如，上周中国官员召集包括钢铁建筑等行业的国有行业并购（buy up）国内外新资产（at home and abroad）以积极（actively）发挥在经济中的作用。 曾把中国宏观调控视为不成熟经济的弊病（immature economy），现在是稳定的保障（bulwark of stability）。CLSA经济学家AR说，”政府对大多数资本密集型产业的控制，让我看好中国的未来。政府会对这些领域的公司说，继续花吧，不要由于你们的投资计划“。尽管最大的出口及股票市场出现下滑，中国经济在09年看上去增加7%多，虽比近些年两位数（double-digit）增速有所下滑，但与其他国家相比仍然坚挺。随着国有银行放松信贷（loose credit），企业贷款率切实（actually）增加。摩根斯坦利的亚洲首席SR说，在一个投资支持可持续发展，并占GDP的40%的国家，政府再次增加投资以抵抗对增长的威胁。他又说，在危机时期，中国的指挥控制系统切实比其他市场基础系统有效。

关于BEC商务英语高级阅读技巧 ■搭配题：抓住中心和基本点 5篇100字左右的小短文，8个选项，选择出各个选项属于哪篇 短文论述的内容。这部分主要是考查考生迅速找出短文MainIdea的水平。准确的做题方法是先读提示第一句，把握5篇短文共同论述的大 致范围。然后直接阅读短文。阅读的时候，用笔在考卷上划出"一个中心，两个基本点"。"一个中心"指短文的中心思想MainIdea。"两个基 本点"是除MainIdea以外重要的、十分特殊的论点。从5篇短文中找 出15个左右的考点，解题的速度可大大提升。 ■句子填空题：弄清逻辑上的衔接 这部分对我国考生来说有极大的难度，因为它考查了中国人说话 写文章最缺少严密的逻辑性。西文，尤其是商务文章极其讲究逻辑的 缜密性，中心思想明确，意群(段)之间有清晰的逻辑关系，句与句之 间紧密相连。知道了这样的思维差异，在解题时便有了方向：通过各 种衔接手段来解题。词汇的衔接、语法的衔接，最重要的是逻辑上的 衔接。其实，任何两句话之间的逻辑关系不外乎两种情况：不是顺着 意思讲下去(顺接)就是意思发生了转折(逆接)。判断空格前后句之间 的顺逆接关系，再寻找准确的选项解题就容易多了。平时考生在做阅 读训练的时候要特别注意句子之间的逻辑关系。 ■阅读理解题：跳跃式阅读 这部分其实是前两部分的综合。在读文章时只需抓住文章和各段 的MainIdea即可，有较强阅读水平的考生尽可能地快速读出句子之间 的逻辑关系，而细节内容一律略去。用这种"跳跃式阅读法"效果很好。解题时，学生要放松心态，因为题目不难，仅仅在做一个"定位+同义词、近义词"游戏罢了。值得注意的是这部分与四六级及考研阅读理解

Easy Money Hacks to Level up Your Money David Carlson It’s always a good idea to conduct regular “money checkups” to make sure you are making the most of your money. To make it a bit more interesting, I like to think of this as “hacking” your mo ney. Small changes can make a big difference. My wife and I were leaving hundreds of dollars on the table each year by putting off reviewing our savings account. By making a small change we literally are making $500+ from interest that we were previously missing out on. Ready to level up your money? Let’s walk through the list of money hacks and see which ones will work for your situation. Check your savings account People love to rip on banks for making billions and billions in profits, but there is one specific thing that millions of people are doing that allows them to profit: keeping their savings in low-yield savings account. The average APY of savings accounts is 0.06%. The rate can be as low as 0.01%. Basically you are getting nothing for your money. I was one of those people. Until recently, I had a rock-bottom interest rate on my savings account. The thing was, this was an emergency fund that I was going to keep in cash long-term. It only makes sense to park it in the savings account with the highest yield. As I outlined in my post switching banks made us $500+ a year. By switching from my TCF savings account that paid 0.01% APY to a CIT Bank savings account that paid 2.30% APY, I essentially gave myself a $500+ year bump in cash flow. Even if you have minimal or no savings right now you probably have a goal of building an emergency fund. Banks make enough money, don’t do them a favor by building and keeping your emergency fund in a savings account with a rock-bottom interest rate. Pay attention to credit card rewards

For the markets, rate cuts are like a drug. They can inspire euphoria, but can also induce dependency. Markets, like addicts, need bigger and bigger doses to get the same effect. This has framed the market’s prognosis for the Federal Reserve, which toda y meets to decide on monetary policy. When it cut by 50 basis points in Septemb er, it sparked a huge rally. But cutting by only 25bp in October prompted a rel apse, as US stocks fell and credit tightened once more. With Fed governors admitting that the liquidity squeeze had intensified and traders betting on a recession, markets decided that another 50bp cut must be forthcoming. That sparked the latest rally. But that speculation is dimming: fu tures are pricing a cut of 25bp not 50bp. Why? Central banks sounded hawkish last week. The Bank of England cut the b ank rate but warned on inflation, and the European Central Bank, which was on h old, sounded closer to raising rates than cutting them. Most important, however, is employment data. The Fed is mandated to pursue full employment, so bad jobs numbers provide great cover for a big rate cut.

商务英语阅读高分技巧 词汇先行
商务英语阅读高分技巧词汇先行 商务英语阅读高分技巧：词汇先行 作为语言的基本单位，词汇的重要性不言而喻，而且通过近几年的试题，大家越来越认识到词汇的认知对于解题的重要：有时候往往就是一个生词毁一道题，而一道题则有可能导致整个成绩下降一个分数段。词汇的认知不仅影响着阅读成绩，而且作为语言能力的基本载体，词汇还在听、说、写考试中都占有重要的一席。因此，我总会在第一堂课就告诉学生们词汇的重要性，如何去记忆词汇，如何解决考试中的词汇问题。 首先，加大平时生活中词汇的积累。其实是一种习惯，一旦养成了好的习惯，无论是词汇，还是口语，抑或听力都会变得很轻松。因为大家要养成在生活中发现英语词汇，体会英语词汇，运用英语词汇。 其次，养成每天背单词的'习惯。也许每天五个，每天十个，或者二十个，这取决于个人的记忆力和领悟力。每天背的单词自然会有一部分会忘记，但是通过重复和日常应用来巩固，总有部分会属于你。在这里我不想多说如何记单词的诀窍，这对每个人都不太一样，但是我相信一点：一个单词如过不会使用，那就永远不属于你。我上大学时经常会把每天学到的单词造成句子，然后串联成小
短文，尽管前言不达后语，但是我可以通过这种方式来检查我是否掌握了这些单词，增强我的记忆。另外朗读永远是最有效的记单词的方式之一：视觉、听觉以及和舌头的配合行成的立体记忆显然构成了一道高墙，牢牢地将词汇围在了你的大脑里，防止任何的流失。 最后，还要扩大泛读量。泛读，顾名思义，泛泛而读。只要不一个字一个字，看见了生字就得的读法即为泛读。泛读并不要求你阅读的内容，报刊杂志、宣传单、招生手册、使用说明、宣传广告都是泛读的范围，所以从这个意义上来说，其实前面说到的第一点也算是泛读的一种。泛读常分为略读和寻读，针对不同的目的可采取不同的读法：或者只浏览其大意，或者寻找特定信息。但无论哪种读法，都能提高阅读的速度与理解能力，避免因为一个生词就无法理解整句的尴尬，也可以改掉只见树木不见森林的坏习惯。 当然提高泛读能力必须要学会猜单词，单词的猜测可以通过词根、词缀、上下文、逻辑结构等方式来猜测。事实上，猜测生词含义是件很具挑战性也很有意思的工作。我们经常因为某个单词的误解，觉得下面的文章越读越别扭，始终迷惑不解，然后重头再来，有时候因为某个词的正确猜测而豁然开朗——学习的乐趣即在如此，一切的苦闷都会因为某个小小的胜利而让你兴奋不已，一切的辛苦都因为学习某个小小的发现而烟消云散。

第2单元 出口、进口与对等贸易 辨认出口机会 出口面临的一个最大障碍就是信息的匮乏。通常一个公司的产品会有许多需求市场，不过由于许多需求市场都不在本国，基于文化、语言、距离以及时间的不同，公司很难找到这些需求市场。事实上全世界有180多个国家，各个国家之间又有很大的文化差异，这些使得辨认出口机会更加困难了。面对这样复杂以及多样化的市场，企业很多时候在寻找出口伙伴时显得优柔寡断也就不足为奇了。 国际比较 克服出口信息不对称的办法就是尽可能的搜集信息。我们先以德国为例。德国有一些贸易协会、政府代理商以及商业银行为企业牵线搭桥，帮一些小公司寻找出口机会。日本也有类似这样的商业机构，譬如日本国际工商业会社，总是积极地帮出口商寻找出口机会。此外，日本许多公司都是综合商社的分公司。综合商社是日本特有的综合贸易公司，由于办事处遍布全世界，它能够积极不断地为大大小小的分公司提供各种出口信息。日本、德国公司的一个最大优势就是能够为他们的出口企业搜集到世界各地的技术经验、出口信息以及其他资源。 与德国、日本那些竞争对手相比，美国的许多企业在寻找出口机会时就显得有些盲目，在信息搜集上处于劣势。这种差异一部分是历史上的原因。长期以来日本、德国都把对外贸易作为支柱产业，而美国一直到近期还是一个相对自给型的国家，对外贸易在美国经济当中只占据很小的一部分。虽然近两年美国对外贸易在国内经济当中的分量比20年前重了许多，然而美国依然没有一个类似于日本或者德国那样的商业机构帮助出口企业搜集信息。 信息来源 尽管美国处于劣势，美国企业也在不断提高搜寻出口机会的意识。美国商务部及其在全国各地的办公室是美国最大的出口信息源，其下属的两个独立机构——国际贸易局、美国对外商业服务中心都致力于为企业提供智力援助并且积极地帮助企业拓展海外市场。 他们为潜在出口商提供一份“光辉前程”名单，名单上列出了某种行业海外市场潜在经销商的名称、地址及联系方式。此外，美国商务部专门成立了一个针对海外14个主要出口市场的“比较购物服务”中心。企业缴纳很少的费用就可以获得一份某产品目标市场的顾客调查报告，报告不仅提供该产品海外市场的可销售性，而且对竞争者、比较价格、营销渠道以及可能的销售代表人员都作了详尽的描述。调查报告是由美国商务部的官员进行实地考察而得出的。 商务部还会组织一些贸易活动帮助潜在出口商与外界接触，拓展海外市场。在一些大城市举办的国际贸易展览会上，美国商务部也会组织出口企业参展。另外，美国

Business English Reading 商务英语阅读
Business English reading I have learned a lot in the Business English Reading classes. This course mainly analyses business stratages during the development of some famous companies, and introduces some main influencial factors. We talked about P&G Company at the very beginning. P&G is a well-known and successful company all over the world. It produces various products of different brands, for example VS, Pantene, OLAY, Crest, Pampers, Safeguard, Tide, Whisper and Gilllete and so on. These products are trusted generally by consumers and used almost in each family. P&G is a successful example in the same kind of company absolutely. However, it is not easy to gain the big success. It has ever been in danger of becoming another Eastman Kodak Co., a once great company that had lost its way. Thank to Lafley, the current CEO, taking some effective measures, the P&G could get through the trouble. Different with the former CEO, the first thing he told his managers when he took the job was just what they were thinking: focus on selling the company’s major brands, instead of trying to develop new brands. He has replaced more than half of the company’s top 30 officers and cut 9,600 jobs. And he has move more women into senior positions. He wants a focused, flexible company, that’s why he does all the things. To reach this goal, he has adopted the policy of outsourcing: he outsourced P&G’s information-technology operation to Hewlett Packard Co.. As to sales, Lafley suggests that they should remain the biggest retailer Wal-Mart stores, and develop more wholesalers to promote sales quotas. All these correct decisions owe to Lafley’s significant cognition and well preparation. Of course, there are many other successful examples. Too much factors can have effects on a company’s destiny.Of all the factors, the most important is the ability of leadership in management and decision making. Leadership includes the top leaders, CEO or president or general manager, and managers of each department. These leaders can be regarded as the main body of a company, so the quality of the body directly influences the whole company’s development. Every department has its own responsibility, only all departments work well can the whole company goes well. No matter what happened, capable leaders always catch up with proper methods to solve those problems to keep company running normally. Although sometimes it may be suffer a big shock, like economic crisis, good leadership must be able to negotiate a countermeature to avoid loss or reduce loss. This’s the most important function of leaders. Therefore, if we want to know whether a company can go further or not, we just need to realize what kind of leadershis it has. In my opinion, if a company wants to become a success, it should have the following points: first, it is based on quality-reliable products; second, it should win a good credit by considerate service and reasonable products price; third, keep communicating with consumers in order to know what the product that consumers really want is; forth, it should have an outstanding leading group to manage the company. For this reason, I think P&G is really an example of success.
