2020年剑桥商务英语BEC初级考试试题及答案
2020年剑桥商务英语BEC初级考试试题及答案2020年剑桥商务英语BEC初级考试试题及答案 Questions 1 – 8 Look at the sentences below and at the five managers’ comments on leadership on the opposite pageWhich 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 than once .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 generally different 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 suit different circumstancesA Maurizio 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 o fmy 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 stren ngth and depth.B Sue 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.C Carol 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 andattributes of the run-of-the-mill professional managers and accou n tants. What’s crucial 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.D Brian MatthewsLeadership is about making things happen and beingjudged 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 concernedhave even recognized they’ve got them. That way you’ll always be ahead of the game, whateverline you’re in. For instance, top stockbrokers will learnall about you and your business and keep themselvescompletely 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 relationship with them. Leaders must stay optimistic, whatever the odds, and keep up morale of their company, even when the going’s tough. It’s important to be very much。

Our QVM hot drinks machine replaces this service, so that you can close the canteen between mealtimes.You can install the QVM hot drinks machine anywhere in the building. One machine is suitable for a staff of ten to fifteen people. It costs 1300 pounds to buy, or 11 pounds per week to rent over 60 months. It is not expensive to operate: for example, the cost of power for one day is 30p, nearly as cheap as the price of one hot drink from the machine.Our company will carry out a weekly service, at a charge of 10 pounds. We can also refill the machine with drinks ingredients for an extra charge of 8 pounds. Some customers prefer to do this themselves, however.There are eight choices of hot drink available from the QVM machine, and our company offers one month’s trial free of charge, so that you can estimate how popular the machine will be and see what the actual savings are.16.

The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives.Each top manager ---- none of them famous names, surprisingly ---- is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book from cover to cover. For a management book it isn’t expensive, although whether its good value formoney is doubtful.Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked their way up. Some are fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Stuart doesn’t seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuart’s book.I have to say that Stuart’s approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don’t know whether to accept any of his opinions.It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I have seen definitely don’t have. So in the end I am no wiser about what really goes on.Perhaps I am being unfair. As long as you don’t think about whether you’d like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position.Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.23. The reviewer suggests that one advantage of this book is thata. it is better value than other management books.b. it doesn’t need to be read right through.c. it is about well-known people.24. The book concentrates on the fact that the twenty executives who are intervieweda. work in a number of different industries.b. started their companies.c. have worked for different lengths of time.25. The reviewer cannot accept Stuart’s opinions because Stuarta. makes unreasonable complaints about the interviewees.b. writes too positively about the interviewees.c. has different attitudes towards different interviewees.26. Reading the book made the reviewer think thata. there are certain qualities which all Chief Executives need.b. it is difficult to discover how people really run a company.c. running a company is easier than many people think.27. Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading?a. how the interviewees became Chief Executives.b. what sort of people the interviewees are.c. the advice given by the interviewees.28. The reviewer recommends the book for people whoa. intend to set up in businessb. want to become senior mangers.c. are outside the field of business.Part Six●Read the article below about team-building.●Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B, or C given.●For each question 29 - 38, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.TEAM-BUILDING THROUGH ACTIVITIESNowadays, company bosses are increasingly trying to find unusual team-building events as part of their training program.

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 create attractive 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 Sandersley just for this purpose. These nannies get free flights and meals on top of their pay.Interestingly, most of the company”s senior managers began 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 late 1990s.The company”s performance over the years means that It gets 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, was itself 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. Its decision not to sell skiing holidays in North America proved the right one when many of its rivals failed to persuade British travelers to take the tenhour flight. Learning from experiences like these, Sandersley”s two recent departures from its main activity are the acquisitions of restaurant chains in Spain and in Turkey. And as for moving into the mass market for its holiday? Sandersley is much too successful to want to do that.Sandersley differs from most other UK travel operators inA.the cost of its holidays.B.the places where it advertises.C.the number of repeat bookings it has.59、Sandersley”s customers likeA.the places where the company organizes holidays.B.the fact that the company is not well known,C.the prices that the company charges for its holidays.60、The company attracts families becauseA.it arranges joint activities for adults and children.B.it has staff who look after children.C.it provides free holidays for children.61、In what way is Carol Fletcher typical of the company”s senior staff?A.She started working for the company at a low level.B.She brought experience from another industry. ,C.She used to run her own company.62、Sandersley was not sold becauseA.Garmond believed the price was too high.B.Garmond”s new owner decided against the purchase.C.Garmond falt unhappy with Sandersley”s performance.63、What is Sandersley”s strategy for expansion?A.to offer holidays in different countries.B.to increase the customer base for its holidays.C.to depend less on the holiday industry.PARI SIX：Questions 29-4064、Read the new report below.Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C.For each question (29-40), mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.One of the issues people are concerned about as they start to define their personal brand is being (29)___________to one subject or area.
