BEC商务英语(高级)口语模拟试卷19(题后含答案及解析)

BEC商务英语（高级）口语模拟试卷19(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. SECTION 1 INTERVIEW (ABOUT 3 MIN) 2. SECTION 2 MINI PRESENTATIONS (ABOUT 6 MIN)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 1 minute. You have 1 minute to prepare your ideSECTION 1 INTERVIEW (ABOUT 3 MIN)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 minutes. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A Quality control: the importance to a company of monitoring the quality of its goods and services B Information management: how to ensure that information is managed effectively within a company C Financial planning: the factors involved in deciding on appropriate pricing strategies正确答案：解析：Quality Control: the importance to a company of monitoring the quality of its goods and services Successful businesses inevitably place great emphasis on managing quality control-carefully planned steps taken to ensure that the products and services offered to their customers are consistent and reliable and truly meet their customers’ needs. Almost all companies monitor the quality of the services they deliver to uphold their reputations, ensure satisfied customers and generate repeat business. Information Management: how to ensure that information is managed effectively within a company The best way to manage information effectively within a company is to set up an information management department. The department serves engineers, functional area managers, corporate planners, and sales representatives. Examples of information provided by the department include new product announcements, corporate intelligence, and pricing information. The information management department is the last link in an information systems loop that provides on-line, instantaneous access to data on economic trends, competitive activities, social changes, political developments, and markets. Financial Planning: the factors involved in deciding on appropriate pricing strategies Product costs are the central issue involved in pricing strategy. Profit comes only from the remaining between costs and sales. Besides, how much “more” to be charged depends on other factors. For example, the comparison with other competitors: the company charges high price for its products/services when it has a competitive advantage, or there is uniqueness about the product; and the company keeps the prices for the product/ services artificially low in order to gain market share, increase customer interest and establish a hold in the market.SECTION 2 MINI PRESENTATIONS (ABOUT 6 MIN)In this part of thetest you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic.

Now there are new markets in abstractions, trade in ideas and knowledge. Everyone has knowledge but there used to be no way t o trade it ------except through jobs. That simple fact of economic life was the basis for white collar employment for centuries. The whole job culture grew up because there was no alternative way to sell knowledge , other then the worker or manager providing, for a fixed price, his or her knowledge to an employer to own or control. The quantity of knowledge provided has typically been measured in time.But today we stand at the thresh-old of a new era. The information economy has matured and become smarter. According to many business commentators, we are now living in a knowledge economy . There has always been a market for knowledge , of course. The publishing industry is based on it. But today the internet is making the distribution of knowledge ever easier. The days when the publisher decided what got published are over. Anyone with a Pc and a modem can talk to the world. This is reducing the friction in the knowledge economy.Everyone has knowledge of whatever industry she or he is in. say you are a computer dealer, for example. Over the years your have complied a list of the ten best lowest price places to buy wholesale computer equipment. Now you can sell your knowledge to newer,younger computer dealers who have no way to build up this knowledge without losing thousands of pounds finding it out the hard way. Until now, such knowledge remained securely locked in the recipient’s head ,accumulated and then worthlessly withered away. This no longer needs to be the case. Such knowledge can be sold via websites.Knowledge has a distinct advantage in today’s marketplace. It’s a renewable resource. Better yet, its worth actually increases, . “knowledge is the only asset that grows with use. “observes Scanford University Professor Paul Romer. But what exactly is knowledge and how can it be packaged to trade on an open market”“knowledge is experiential information, intelligence applied thorough and gained from experience.”Say Josenph Pine and James Gilmore in their book The Experience Economy.The value of knowledge often depends on variables such as time and the credibility of the seller.Certian knowledge may have a very limited shelf life. In sights concerning how to set up an internet business in one country, might be worth a fortune on one day and nothing the next , depending on changes in government policy. Markets in knowledge will be significance for one thing. They represent one of the most original uses of the web technology. In some corner of the globe there is a company wanting to source plastic widgets from Poland, and somewhere else another company that wishes to set up a plastics factorythere. It’s simply a case of connecting the two. is a good example of a knowledge trader. It is targeted at food service managers throughout the hospitality industry. “we started with the context rather than extracting money from suppliers. “explains founder Mike Day. “we offer food service professionals interactive support to increase sales and profits. People don’t want another one-dimensional site full of advertising that doesn’t help them to do their job more effectively . it has to be customised offering real solutions to real problems. “the site’s features include access to online training and a tariff tracker to restaurants can check prices throughout the sector.15. what point is made in the first paragraph?A Interest in commodity markets has decreased.B Overall levels of expertise have improved.C Opportunities to exploit your knowledge were limited in the pastD External market forces have meant knowledge is underpriced.16 what are we told about the current impact of the internet in the second paragraph?A publishers benefit from their exploitation of the internet.B the internet has made it easier to analyse business trends.C It is difficult to calculate the true economic value of the internet.D the internet facilitates the development of the knowledgeeconomy.17 In the third paragraph, what does the writer say about knowledge?A Acquiring knowledge can be expensiveB The most valuable knowledge concerns ITC Trading knowledge raises issues of security.D New businesses find it hard to trade in knowledge.18.

From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need.Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life.Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: on the one hand there arethe “pragmatists”and on the other “the highly anxious”the former see their job as a means to an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to their local term , rather than the company as a whole . the second category, usually the majority, may respond to threatened changes with a feeling of having been let down, and even feel anger at the company for what they see as changing the terms of their employment.` The employee communication process needs to be capable of accurately directing its messages at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is why middle managers and line managers are so key to communication. They are the people who know about the full rage of concerns among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Concordia puts responsibility for communication firmly on line managers. All their research points to the same conclusion: people prefer to get their information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationship and where arguments and hearts and minds –are lost.The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soon as you can. If you can’t provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yourself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of companycommunication is that there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders.15: in the last eight years, Concordia hasA made over 80.000 employees reduncdantB completed a period of downsizingC reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy16 from Concordia’s point of view, the role of communication is toA win employee support before going ahead with the changesB change the company’s core activities.C emphasise the positive aspects of the changesD explain the need for the changes17 what does research show about most employees’response to change?A they expect it to have a bad effect on the companyB they feel completely powerlessC they become less loyalD they fell they have been treated unfairly18 Concordia’s communication process mainly relies onA printed communicationB departmental headsC personal communicationD a separate, specialized unit19 According to the writer, what is the guiding ;principle about giving information within an organization?A Never make promises about future developmentsB Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stageC always include plenty of hard informationD Hold back until all the details can be provided20 which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article?A employee attitudes to company communicationB making company communication more effectiveC Researching company commmucationD Making employees feel less powerless参考答案15 A 16-20 C D C B BQuestions9–14Read 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 firms’international ambitions. (9) However, identifying the need for international managers is easier than developing them.So what makes an international manager? Paul Evans, a professor at INSEAD, the European business school, does not believe that any particular nationality produces a more international manager. Neither does he believe that it’s a matter of having the ability to cope with a lifestyle that involves working in Madrid one day, London the next and Berlin the day after. (10) Rather, he believes that the secret of being a good international manger is being comfortable with managing diversity.Ford of Europe, which has encouraged the development ofinternational managers for more than 20 years, says that its managers are globally-minded before they become global operators. (11) a car that you buy in the UK, for example, is going to be the same car that sells in Germany, Finland and Portugal, so the people who are involved in the car’s development have to be aware of the market requirements in all those different countries.Generally, it seems that the only effective way to develop international skills and perspectives is through direct international experience. (12) Such experiences open people’s minds to the fact that things are done differently lese where and encourages them to think in a wilder context..Formulating effective strategies for developing a company’s management resource is a demanding exercise, with conflicting issues to be solved (13) Another dilemma is whether to use local managers or expatriates.The recruitment and development of effective international managers requires considerable financial resources and can be hard to justify at budget meetings. (14) however , without them, companies will continue to find their expansion plans frustrated by a lack of internationally effective managers.A from the moment they join the company, employees are faced with having to think internationally。
