This section totals 15 points, one point for each question. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When it rains, it pours, and for me it rained pretty hard in 1956. That was the year Ford decided to promote auto safety. The company introduced a safety package that included crash padding for thedashboard. The factory had sent along a film for us to show the dealers, which was supposed to explain just how much safer the new padding was in the event that a passenger hit his head on the dash. To illustrate the point, the narrator of the film claimed the padding was so thick that if you dropped an egg on it from a two-storey building, the egg would bounce right off without breaking.I was fascinated. Instead of having the salesmen learn about the safety padding from the film, I would make the point far more dramatically by actually dropping an egg onto the padding. About eleven hundred men sat in the audience at the regional sales meeting as I began to make my pitch about the terrific new safety padding we were offering in our 1956 models. I had spread strips of padding across the stage, and now I climbed on a high ladder with a carton of fresh eggs.The very first egg I dropped missed the padding altogether and splattered on the wooden floor. The audience roared with delight. I took more careful aim with the second egg, but my assistant, who was holding the ladder, chose this moment to move in the wrong direction. As a result, the egg bounced off his shoulder. This, too, was greeted with wild applause.The third and fourth eggs landed exactly where they were supposed to. Unfortunately, they broke on impact. Finally, with the fifth egg, I achieved the desired result--- and got a long applause. I learned two lessons that day. First, never use eggs at a sales rally. And second, never go before your customers without rehearsing what you want to say --- as well as what you’re going to do --- to help sell your product.46.What job did the writer do?A. He was an auto engineer.B. He was a regional sales manager.C. He was an artist.D. He was a teacher.47.According to the passage, Ford company then wanted to promote .A. auto safetyB. crash paddingC. sales in the regionD. its production48.The writer wanted to show .A. the quality of eggsB. the idea of safety better than in the filmC. how easy it was to break eggs on the new paddingD. how hard it was to create a positive feeling in the sales meeting49.The third and fourth eggs .A. landed on the padding and brokeB. landed on the padding but did not breakC. landed on the stage and brokeD. landed on the shoulder of the assistant50.What did the writer learn from this lesson?A. Be more careful to sell eggs.B. Repeat what the customer says in a sales demonstration.C. Practice what he is going to do or say before he does or says it.D. Practice what the customer says before he says it.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In international commerce, payment for goods and services usually involves the currencies of more than one country, and the problem of which currency to use can become a serious barrier to completing a deal. There would be no problem if the currency of a seller’s country could always be bought and sold at a fixed and invariable price compared to the money of a buyer’s country. However, in most cases, the relative value of currencies is constantly changing, and some are quite volatile.If the value of a currency changes between the time a deal is made and the time payment is made it could have serious impact on the profitability of a transaction. For example, if a trader has made a deal to be paid in a foreign currency and that currency devalues before payment is made, the trader will receive less value for the goods than originally anticipated. Of course it is also true that extra profits could be made if the foreign currency increases in value. In any event, this is a risk most traders would prefer to avoid.There are many ways of dealing with foreign exchange risk and the simplest, if you are the seller, is insisting on payment in your own currency. This strategy lays the risk at the buyer’s door, but it may not always be a viable option, and traders may have to accept payment in foreign currency in order to make a sale. If full agreement cannot be reached, it may be possible for both buyer and seller to share the risk by arranging for a portion of the payment to be made in one currency and the remainder in another.If it is absolutely necessary to take on the foreign exchange risk, traders can protect themselves in a number of ways. One way is to build the estimated cost of a currency fluctuation into the deal to guard against potential losses. However, as this is simply an estimate it will rarely fully protect the trader.51.Which of the following is least likely to constitute a barrier to completing a deal?A. There are many currencies in the world.B. The seller and the buyer disagree on the use of a currency.C. The buying and selling prices of the currency of the seller’s country in terms of thecurrency of the buyer’s country are changing violently.D. The relative value of currencies is invariably fluctuating.52.Which of the following statements is true?A. The profitability of a transaction will not be affected if the value of a currency remainsstatic.B. The trader will receive less value for the goods than originally anticipated if the value ofthe foreign currency for the contract is higher at the time of payment than at the time of concluding the deal.C. The trader will receive more value for the goods than originally anticipated if the value ofthe foreign currency for the contract is higher at the time of payment than at the time of concluding the deal.D. Most traders seek to make profits by taking advantage of price fluctuations of currencies. 53.There are many ways of dealing with foreign exchange risk, and the writer suggests in the third paragraph.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four54.A viable option is an option that .A. will enable the trader to develop its businessB. is likely to generate profits for the traderC. can work successfullyD. makes the trader a stronger competitor55.The last paragraph implies that the writer thinks .A. it absolutely necessary that traders take on the foreign exchange riskB. that there are a number of ways by which traders can fully protect themselvesC. that to build the estimated cost of a currency fluctuation into the deal to guard againstpotential losses is a perfect way of protecting tradersD. that traders are unlikely to be fully protected although there are more than one wayavailable to themQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In 1993, American-born Henry Eastman got a call from a recruitment consultancy, inviting him to give up his successful marketing career in one insurance company to become the head of another. This new job was to work for an investment company called Brinscombe’s, who wanted him to create a brand new car insurance company. Despite the risks involved, Eastman agreed.A lot of young drivers in the 20 to 35 age range, especially the ones who have already have had accidents, having difficulty in getting car insurance because most companies think they are too big a risk. However, Eastman believes there are no problems if their annual payments are large enough. He offered them insurance cover through television commercials and attracted many customers by giving out folders in which to keep their policies safe. His strategy was a good one. Within eight years he had built the business into a national company with 500,000 customers and sales of £300 million per year.The company was based in Manchester.

2014年剑桥商务英语中级考试试题及答案解析(一)
剑桥商务英语中级考试试题及答案解析(一)一、中READING(PART ONE )(共7小题,共7.0分)· Read these sentences . · Which type does each sentence (1--7) describe? · For each sentence mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet.第1题Listen better, manage betterA There is a great difference between listening and hearing. You should make efforts in listening. Listening demands your attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification. It is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you are absent-minded, even for a few minutes, you'll miss what the speaker is saying probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won't know you've missed anything until it's too late.B We are likely to accuse others of not listening, pretending that We ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we have failed to understand completely what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember—despite the benefit of notes—exactly what everyone said. But Success depends on getting things right—and that means listening.C You should be aware that many people are not very good at communicating. It's helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. It is equally important that you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don't be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.D It is a very bad habit that we start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness. as once you have decided what to say, there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don't interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.You do not mind hearing your own views summarised.【正确答案】:D【本题分数】:1.0分【答案解析】[题干题点] …do not mind…summarised.[对应线索] …explaining the main idea…Nobody is offended…[答案精解] 题目意为:人们不介意别人把自己的观点总结一下。

2篇2014最新真题范文
2014年6月(CET 4)Online Shopping1. 现在网上购物已成为一种时尚(2-3)2. 网上购物有很多好处,但也有不少问题(5-6)3. 我的建议(3-4)扩展(People now prefer to buy things in online stores, and they enjoy the pleasure of choosing from thousands of goods sitting just in front of computer.)It seems that online shoppinghas been more and more popular today. (点题)过渡句(Yet there are two sides to everything, both the dark and bright side, so does online shopping. )好处On the one hand, it is convenient for us to shop online, since we don’t have to go to the supermarket and it saves us a lot of time. Moreover, things are cheaper to buy online than in the supermarket. //坏处On the other hand, we will also meet some problems when we shop online; for example, sometimes we are just annoyed by the low quality of the things we’ve bought online.过渡句(From my perspective, since online shopping has become a trend in our daily life, I strongly suggest that we should take effective measures to deal with this phenomenon. )For one thing, the government should make strict rules to punish the inferior online shopping. For another, we ourselves have to be conscious of the negative effects of terrible service of the online shopping. I firmly believe, it is the best and most suitable choice for us, the college students, to shopping in the real world instead of shopping online. (点题) (If we can do so, online shopping might be a veryenjoyable thing.)2011年12月(CET 6)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln's famous remark, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I ill spend the first four sharpening the axe.“ You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.There are many ways that lead to success, such as an intelligent mind, a strong will or apassionate heart. For Abraham Lincoln, his way of success is to make full preparations. He would spend 2/3 of his time “sharpening his axe”, which is truly phenomenal.Lincoln's famous remark embodies great wisdom, carrying at least two important implications. Success never comes to us accidentally, but as a result of continuous and patient planning and preparing. Having defined our goal, we must have a clear idea about the means to attain the goal. Without sufficient preparations, many of our efforts would be random and we would most probably end up in failure.Another crucial implication is that, in order to succeed, we must keep “sharpening our axe”. Ours is a technology-dominated world and our social progress is inextricably connected with technological advances. It is perhaps because of Lincoln’s wisdom that the United States laysspecial emphasis on developing technologies and has become the world’s most technologically developed country.Keeping Lincoln’s wisdom in mind, we should be well prepared in everything we do. Moreover, we should never stop where we are and keep searching for more effective means to reach our objectives.。

2014大学英语四级作文真题范文及答案
2014大学英语四级作文真题范文及答案English: With the rapid development of technology, online shopping has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many people prefer to purchase goods online for its convenience, variety of choices, and competitive prices. They can compare prices and read reviews easily without leaving their homes. In addition, online shopping allows people to shop at any time of the day, which is a huge advantage for those with busy schedules. However, online shopping also has its drawbacks. The main concern is the security of personal information and online transactions. Hackers are constantly finding ways to steal sensitive data, which poses a risk to online shoppers. Furthermore, the inability to physically see or try on products before purchasing may lead to dissatisfaction with the quality or fit of the item. In conclusion, while online shopping offers numerous benefits, consumers should also be cautious and vigilant to protect themselves from potential risks.中文翻译: 随着科技的快速发展,近年来网购变得越来越流行。
