TAPESCRIPTInquiry plays a very important role both in import and export and is usually the first step involved in international trade negotiation. Inquiry is a request for business information such as price list, catalogue, sample, trade terms and details about goods. Inquiry is usually made by the buyer to get information about the goods to be ordered. But sometimes it is made by the seller to get information about the goods to be sold. In international business, making inquiry is the initial stage of business negotiations between the buyer and the seller. Inquiry can be made by letter, email, fax, handwritten note, telephone call, or personal conversation.Generally speaking, there are three kinds of inquiry: general inquiry, first inquiry, and specific inquiry. General inquiry is sent to get the general information about goods. In this kind of inquiry there is no intention to do business right away. First inquiry is sent to the seller or supplier whom you have not previously doubted. Therefore, the source you get, the supplier’s name and address, the intention you wish to establish business relations and the introduction to your business should be contained in the first inquiry. Specific inquiry is sent to the seller or supplier with whom you have already set up the business relations. In specific inquiry, the request for detailed information about the goods is contained.3. Exercise 2Directions: Listen to the passage again and complete the statements with the words you hear.1. Inquiry is usually the first step involved in international trade negotiation.2.

Unit 2 Technology TodayListeningAudio Track 4-2-1/Audio Track 4-2-2Situation 1Man: Oh no!Woman: What happened?Man: I can’t believe it! I was sending a message and I accidentally clicked on “Reply to All.”Woman: So?Man: It was a personal message for my friend, Jerry. I wanted to send it to his e-mail address only. Woman: Oops.Man: Exactly. … Instead I sent it to everyone on the list. How embarrassing!Situation 2Man: I see you have a new keyboard. That’s nice.Woman: Yes, the company bought me a new one.Man: That’s good.Woman: Well, actually … I spilled coffee on my old keyboard, and it stopped working.Man: Oh, I see.Woman: Don’t tell anyone. Drinking coffee near the computers is not allowed!Situation 3Woman: Have you finished working on my computer?Man: Yes, I have. I’m afraid I don’t have good news for you.Woman: Really?Man: Really. The problem is with your hardware.Woman: Oh. What do you suggest?Man: I think you should probably buy a new computer. This one can’t be fixed.Woman: Well, I have had it for five years. It’s time to replace it, I guess.Audio Track 4-2-3/Audio Track 4-2-4Conversation 1Pam: Well, Lynn, I must be going. It was great to see you —Lynn: Bye, Pam.Pam: What’s that?Lynn: Oh … that’s Ollie.Pam: Ollie? I didn’t know you had a dog!Lynn: Well, we don’t … really.Pam: What do you mean?Lynn: Come here.Pam: Oh my goodness. It’s a robot!Lynn: That’s right. It’s a dog robot. They call it a “dogbot.”Pam: How interesting! … But it’s a little strange, don’t you thi nk?Lynn: Well, I wanted to get an interactive toy for the kids. They love it. So I’m happy.Pam: How much did it cost?Lynn: Don’t ask. It wasn’t very affordable. It’s cheaper than having a real dog, though. We don’t ever have to buy dog food! And the batteries are rechargeable.Conversation 2Juliana: Hey, Henrik. Look.Henrik: What is it, Juliana?Juliana: What’s that guy doing over there?Henrik: Which guy?Juliana: The one over there. Wearing a suit. He’s punching so many buttons on his cell phone. Hen rik: Oh, him. He’s probably playing a game.Juliana: Really?Henrik: A lot of people have games on their cell phones. It’s really popular here in Finland. They play them everywhere.Juliana: Do you play them, too?Henrik: Yes, I do.Audio Track 4-2-5/Audio Track 4-2-6In today’s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive computing.Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users —and with other appliances! Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a “smart” toaster. It remembers your favorite kind of toast: light or dark. Companies are designing a “smart” coffee maker and a “smart” clock. Th e coffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your house, and give information about other appliances. For example, it can tell you, “Your coffee maker needs more water.”And that’s only the beginning. One company is now advertising “Save time —phone your washing machine!” Engineers are making a “smart” house. In this house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change automatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on “smart” appliances. There were surprises. A “smart” refrigerator can buy more food on the Internet, but people didn’t want it, because it might make mistakes.“Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone,” says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learnmore about the technology that people really want.Audio Track 4-2-7/Audio Track 4-2-8The appetite for newer, smarter mobile technology is growing. Hungry consumers are no longer satisfied with making calls and sending text messages, and phone developers are taking notice. Your modern day smartphone is not just a communication device; it also offers a banquet of features such as a music player, gaming apps, Internet browser, electronic dictionary, camera, and video recorder.It’s hard to argue with the merits of having access to so much entertainment on the go. And it’s harder to argue with the convenience of having multiple entertainment and communication functions served up in a single device. However, some would argue that these phones are eating up too much of people’s time. It’s certainly food for thought. As phones become smarter they might indeed de vour what’s left of our social and interpersonal skills. We’ll have to wait and see.Audio Track 4-2-9/Audio Track 4-2-10Local girl rescuedShe may have a broken leg, but she can’t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive. Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that,I don’t remember anything,” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get co ld.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robots” was tried for the first time.”We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “But in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It went extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?”“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan. “That little robot that saved my life!”Audio Track 4-2-11/Audio Track 4-2-12An increasing number of companies and individuals are now opting to purchase virtual storage for their computer files and programs.Accessibility is generally cited as the single most persuasive factor when making the switch. Being virtual, Clouds can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection, and at any time. For those with slower Internet connections, sophisticated software accelerates upload and download times.Cost is always a mitigating factor when it comes to choosing which technology solution to adopt. And Clouds offer maximum flexibility when purchasing storage space. No longer do companies have to make long-term investments in expensive server equipment. They can purchase only the space they require now, with the knowledge that they can easily upgrade and expand at any point in the future.Apprehensions, about the security of data, have now been put at ease as globally recognized software firms are building in the necessary security solutions.Audio Track 4-2-131. I used to type my term papers on a typewriter.2. I didn’t use to wear scarves.3. What kind of computer do you use?4. I used my brother’s cell phone.Audio Track 4-2-141. She used the phone in her office.2. He used to paint his own house.3. Do you use a computer?4. I didn’t use to eat meat.Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 4-2-15Lea: I hate writing term papers! It takes forever!Steve: You’re lucky, Lea. When I was young …Lea: Oh, I’ve heard this story before …Steve: Well, when I was young, we didn’t have computers. We used to write our papers ontypewriters.Lea: Oh, really? That sounds difficult!Steve: It was, especially because I made a lot of mistakes.Lea: Did it take a long time?Steve: Yes. Computers are so much faster and easier to use.Audio Track 4-2-16Conversation 1A: I think television has improved our lives because we get to see news from around the world as it happens.B: Really?A: Yes! In the past people used to wait for days or weeks to read about overseas events, but now we can watch live news reports on television.B: But don’t you think people spend too much time watching television?A: Perhaps. However, I still maintain that some television programs, such as news and documentaries, can be educational and of benefit to people.Conversation 2A: I think cars have improved our lives because we can get from one place to another so much more quickly.B: No way! Cars are a major cause of pollution.A: Dear me! I hadn’t cons idered that.Audio Track 4-2-17The most fun product has to be the cell phone. I use my cell phone all the time. Actually it almost never leaves my hand. It’s a good thing that it’s thin, light and portable. I love that I can do all sorts of things with it. It’s so much more than just a cell phone. I take photos with it; I use it to listen to music, and sometimes I watch movies. It’s really handy for passing the time while I’m commuting. The only negative is that the battery doesn’t last long. It hardly l asts a day before it needs to be recharged. I should add that my phone is very practical, too. I use it to communicate with my friends and family. I can’t make long distance calls to my parents as it’s too expensive, but with my cell phone I can send text messages quite cheaply.Video CourseVideo Track 4-2-1Reda: I really don’t know a lot about electronics but I think that new phones … new cellphones … with ah … cameras … which have digital cameras are very cool and they’re so easy to use. And you don’t have to think all the time that you forgot the camera … you know? Because you always have it with you and that’s so smart.Kevin: I like the laptop because it’s very, very thin. It’s maybe less than one inch and it’s about four pounds and I can carry it anywhere I want.Alejandra: My favorite feature of my computer is the Instant Messenger. The reason for this is that it’s very affordable, fun, and convenient and allows me to chat with my friends from all over the world.Denise: I stay in touch with my f amily in Brazil with like … Instant Messenger.Jackie: I use the computer for chatting online, searching the web, and downloadingmusic.Catherine: I have a lot of friends in New York and Philadelphia and California, so instead of talking on the phone with them, I e-mail them constantly …Dave: My laptop computer is fun because I can do all sorts of things on it. I can write a paper while I’m on the train on the way home.Julianna: I use my computer to surf on the Internet, to do my homework, and to work. My computer was expensive, but it is reliable.Jonathan: I don’t really like my computer because it’s old and not reliable.Video Track 4-2-2Reda: I really don’t know a lot about electronics but I think that new phones … new cell phones … with ah … cameras … which have digital cameras are very cool and they’re so easy to use. And you don’t have to think all the time that you forgot the camera … you know? Because you always have it with you and that’s so smart.Video Track 4-2-3Prof. Morgan: Good. So change the first part and make those corrections and your paper will be great.Tara: OK. Thanks for all your help, ProfessorMorgan. I’ll e-mail my paper to you later today.Prof. Morgan: You know, technology is amazing. In high school I used to write my term papers on a typewriter.Tara: It must have taken a long time to write a paper on a typewriter.Prof. Morgan: Well, I was pretty fast, but I made some mistakes. Actually, the typewriters weren’t that bad. Now, as for the first computers … oh my gosh!Tara: What do you mean?Prof. Morgan: The first computers were so unreliable. They used to crash all the time. And they were not as affordable or as fast as they are now.Tara: Mine’s pretty fast, but not as fast as some of the newer, more expensive ones.Prof. Morgan: I know! And nowadays, almost everyone has a computer. In those days, nobody hadtheir own computer. We used to use the ones at the university.Tara: In the computer lab?Prof. Morgan: Yeah, that’s all we had. I’ll never forget, one spring, during final exams. Everybody was working on their term papers, and the electricity went out!Tara: So? No big deal … laptops have batteries …Prof. Morgan: Yes, but remember, in those days we didn’t have laptops. If your computer crashed, you lost everything.Tara: Everything?Prof. Morgan: Everything. We used to lose information all the time, but that time it was terrible. Everybody lost their papers that afternoon … including me.Tara: What did you do?Prof. Morgan: I went back to the good, old-fashioned way.Tara: You mean typewriters?Prof. Morgan: Nope. I used something more affordable, portable, reliable, disposable, something that always worked.Tara: What was that?Prof. Morgan: (holds up pencil and paper) The first word processor.Video Track 4-2-4Prof. Morgan: Good.

Can I help you? This is Mary Parsons of Murdoch Limited. Can I speak to Sandy Ellis? Which department, please? I'm not sure. Perhaps Assembly. No. here he is, Machine Services Section. I'm sorry, he's on voice mail. Would you like to call back later? I usually deal with him, but can I leave a message with you? Certainly. Your company has installed computerised cutting tools and packing machines in our despatch department. The last one, a packing machine, was installed in July, and it's recently developed a fault. Mmm. The measurements and materials for the boxes are all right, but there's some sort of problem with the box assembly mechanism. The boxes are weak, and goods get damaged. Right, I'll leave a message for Sandy, and I'll ask the Customer Services Manager if he has time to call in and look at the situation before he goeshome this evening.

This is Alison in Head Office. Hello. The CEO has asked met to contact you about the memo you sent everyone yesterday where you asked for comments on the bid you've just put together for Stratford Electronics. Right. Well he's very happy with it on the whole, but does think the introduction is rather lengthy and includes more statistics that are necessary. No problem, I can shorten it easily. And most of the contents of the actual bid are fine, but you do refer to the annual report which won't be out until May. Right. I'll get rid of that, yes. And I was thinking there's enough with the section on the existing contracts we have, so I could take out the stuff on the new contracts, the ones we're about to start. In fact, he specifically said that he thought mentioning them was a very good selling point. OK. And he'd like you to have something in your concluding remarks about the growth in overseas sales, not just the stuff on domestic markets. Yes, I was wondering about that. And that's all really. Easy to adjust I think. OK, well thank the CEO for looking at it. It's very helpful.【BEC中级真题听力】第三辑Test 3 - Part 2 Section 1-2Hints:Ty-Ban英式拼写写数字编号,编号之后空格写说话内容15 Business consultancy is one of the most competitive areas in the service sector. Huge fees are charged to the customers, but the customers have huge expectations in return. This has led to a growing feeling of disillusionment 'What do these people do that we couldn't do for ourselves?' Well, here we have a uniquely creative consultancy company that produces revolutionary ideas for projecting a corporate image to the outside world. Their methods are starting, but they certainly get results. 16 Some of us can remember the days when a visit to the supermarket was no fun. If you needed information, there was never an assistant in sight. And when you did find one, they knew less than you. Well, that time is long past, and the seminar I watched recently at our award-winning supermarket was a revelation. It endeavoured to keep sales assistants up-to-date with information about food technology, how to access product information on the store intranet, and so on. And that's what gave this supermarket its edge. 17 Has this happened to you? You're paid small fortune to have a kitchen installed. The fitters have gone, you switch on the dishwasher, and the next thing you know, the kitchen's flooded. Our award-winning company has a 24-hour phone service, seven days a week, with a reply guaranteed by real people within three minutes. And if it's an emergency with one of their appliances, an engineer is out to you on the same day. Service like this is rare these days.【BEC中级真题听力】第三辑Test 3 - Part 3Hints:Ricky BlandBurger HouseOh等语气词不写英式拼写对话人之间以换行区分My guest today is Ricky Bland, whose critical report on how service companies approach training has just been published. Hello, Ricky. Hello. Yes I looked at the provision of training by employers in this country, and found that most have a winner-takes-all approach to training. Despite low levels of basic skills, companies spend most of their training budgets on their most qualified employees, particularly managers. This simply doesn't result in the quality we need. But does this really matter? Yes, because even through there have been enormous efforts to make training available to everyone, the under-development of the workforce in this country is a major factor in our poor productivity. It's also true that the time people spend being trained is below the average of the world's industrialized economies. Training is particularly bad in the fast-food industry, isn't it? Well, the industry certainly has the image of offering low-paid, low-prestige jobs with no future prospects. And there are jobs that don't demand a great deal of skill, for instance using the latest technology for cooking. But in fact, that image isn't entirely accurate. Not only are pay and conditions improving, but some fast-food chains are better than many other service sector employers at combining commercial success with the development of its workforce. Can you give us an example? Well, the Burger House chain gives its staff the chance to take courses in all sorts of things, not just those needed for cooking or serving. When the annual training programme is circulated, staff plan with their managers which courses to attend. They encouragepeople to spend as much time being trained as they think they can benefit from. In the long term, the company gains financially, because it creates a source of potential managers. But still, working in a fast-food establishment is much worse than in an expensive restaurant, isn't it? In both cases, the work can resemble a production line, with the pressure limiting the chances of job satisfaction. But expensive restaurants depend on the reputation of one or two individuals. The rest have little chance to move from low to high-skilled work. In some fast-food chains, almost half the managers have worked their way up from the kitchens. And while the type of service varies, I've seen good and bad quality in expensive restaurants and fast-food places, and that depends on training. Where will the pressure for improved training come from? In fact, it's internal. Although customers are affected by the end result of training, they also tend to be sensitive to prices. So, in fact, it's mostly people who have already worked their way up to managerial levels who want to help others in the same way. Another advantage of course, is that training attracts job applicants, which makes recruitment easier. What recommendations did you make in your report? My main one is that the government should support training by letting companies claim tax relief. Many companies already get this for certain types of training, but the proposal would particularly help unskilled workers aiming at intermediate qualifications. The government should also work with the sector skills council to improve training and working conditions in those industries where it's necessary. Do you think the government will act on your proposals? Well, I want to reintroduce the idea of people getting grants, so that they can choose training for themselves, but there were problems with this a few years ago,so the political will probably isn't there to try it again. I'm confident we'll see a review of all the vocational qualifications, though, which would remove some of the inconsistencies that are there now. And to be honest, my idea for all workers to spend a minimum time on training is unlikely to be introduced just yet. Ricky Bland, thank you.
