剑桥商务英语中级（BEC2）听力全真试题（3）
PART THREEThis part consists of an interview, conversation, discussion or presentation and involves 1 or 2 speakers. The questions take the form of 8 multiple-choice questions, each comprising 3 options: 1 correct option and 2 distractors. It is necessary for you to listen very carefully to the talk, looking atthe multiple-choice questions as you listen.Try to answer each multiple-choice question as quickly as possible. If you spend too long thinking about the answer to a certain question, you may miss an important part of the talk. In any case, you will lose your place in the talk and find it harder to answer the next question. It is extremely important to try to follow the talk and the questions at the same time, matching each multiple-choice question with the appropriate part of the talk., Above all, try not to worry too much if you don t hear the answer to a multiple-choice question.Read the next one or two questions (or even more, if necessary) and try to listen for the particular topic or subject of each question in the talk.In the following example, a salesman is talking to a potential business customer. As you listen, you must decide which sentence is correct and mark the appropriate letter (A, B or C).You hear.You will hear a negotiation between a salesman and a potential customer.The salesman is trying to sell a number of fax machines to a certain business while someone in the business is trying to negotiate the best price and terms. Choose the correct ending for each of the sentences 1 - 8. Mark one letter A, B or C for the ending you choose.S1: Thank you very much for the demonstration of the new fax machine which you re marketing. I can tell you now that we re very interested in purchasing a quantity for our branch offices as well as for our headquarters. This will involve about 40 machines in all - provided that we can reach asuitable agreement with you.S2: I m very happy to heart hat. I m sure you ll find the machines very reliable indeed.S1: Can you give me again the minimum price per machine - bearing in mind that we re talking about as many as 40 machines?S2: Well, our normal wholesale price including delivery works out at RMB9,000 per machine. But we can let you have a 12 per cent discountfor any order of over 20 machines.S1: Actually, we were hoping for a discount of up to 20 per cent.S2: Oh dear, I m afraid that isn t going to be possible. I d be in trouble with my company manager if I agreed to such a large discount. 12 per cent is our usual discount on bulk orders. I ll tell you what I ll do. I ll see my supervisor and try my best to get a further 3 per cent for youThat ll give you a total of 15 per cent discount.S1: Is there any further discount for early settlement?S2: Oh dear. Our chief accountant won t be very happy. but we can sometimes make a reduction of 2 per cent if the bill is settled in full within ten days.S1: At the other extreme, would a 6-month credit period be acceptable to you?S2: I m afraid not. If we do give you a 15 per cent discount, it ll use up almost all of our profit, and we ll require payment within one month. I just can t do anything about extending that it s simply not going to be possible for us.S1: I understand, but what about warranty? What s the period of warranty on these machines?S2: It s 6 months, but I can make an exception in your case and give you a one-year warranty period.S1: So that s free repairs if any machines develop a fault within a one-year period. But what happens if any of the machines break down after a year?S2: Well, we have a special scheme: it s RMB2,000 or so for a years cover. And we guarantee to carry out any repairs on site within 24 hours provided that the machines are used in offices within the city. If you phone us before ten o clock in the morning, we usually come out to your office or factory the same day. Outside the city ft will obviously take longer.Occasionally, we may even ask you to send the faulty machine to our nearest factory.S1: I understand. Now what about delivery time?S2: Usually two weeks from receipt of your order - three weeks at the most.S1: Can you deliver within one week? It s all very urgent in our particular case. We run the risk of losing business until we have the machines.S2: Well, if you decide now and let me have a firm order with a 1 0 per cent deposit, I think we can promise to get the machines to you by one week tomorrow - that ll be eight days. We ll give your order top priority - and you can have 17 per cent discount provided we receive the full amount in ten days from now.You read.You will hear a negotiation between a salesman and a potential customer. The salesman is trying to sell a number of fax machines to a certain business while someone in the business is trying to negotiate the best price and terms.

I'd like to talk about...So that brings me to the end of my presentation. Thanks for listening.Are there any questions?Module 2.1 Company benefitsBenefits and incentivesV ocabulary1) Ask students to work alone as they rank the ten items and then compare and discuss in pairs. Make sure they give reasons.ExtensionIn Part Two of the Speaking Test, students might need to give a one-minute presentation entitled, "What is important when choosing a job?". Put students in pairs and tell them to practise a similar presentation, taking turns to be the examiner or the candidate. Students can use some of the ideas listed in exercise 1.2) 2.1 Students listen out for five of the benefits and incentives in exercise 1. Note that this is a similar task to Part Two of the Listening Test.Answers1 a company car2 flexible working hours3 parental leave4 an impressive job title5 a pension2.1 Listening scriptSpeaker 1 It's great because usually it means my wife can use the one at home and we even take mine away at weekends. I work for quite a relaxed company and they don't seem to mind how I use it for leisure.Speaker 2I thought it wouldn't change the way I worked after the first six months, but as they got older it actually became more complicated with getting them to school or if they wanted to do activities in the afternoon. But my boss has been really good about it and some days I can do a half day if I want and then I might work later on other days - or I take work home, which I don't like doing, but it's the only way... Speaker 3 It's actually the law now so they had to let me have it. It was only two weeks but at least I had time to help my wife out. Mind you, after all the late nights and crying I was really happy to get back to work for a while and have a rest!Speaker 4I've just been promoted from Assistant IT Technician to Chief Operational Network Administrator. It means I get a bit of a pay rise and new business cards with my name on. I'm not sure if I get my own office though.Speaker 5The problem for me is that I won't have enough to live on when I'm 60 and I can't afford a private plan. So I'll probably try and keep working for a few more years, and anyway, I heard the government is planning to raise the age of retirement...Is working for Xerox too good to be true?Reading3) Set students a time limit of about three minutes to answer the question. The aim is to find any benefits andincentives, but tell students not to read in too much detail at this stage.Answersopportunities for promotion, training and staff development, a pension*Note that the article also mentions a "reward and recognition scheme" which is another form of incentive.4) Now students read the article in much more detail to answer questions 1-5. Refer them to the Exam Success tip on reading the complete text before answering any questions.Answers1 B2 A3 C4 B5 CExpressions with takeV ocabulary5 As a quick lead-in, ask students to brainstorm collocations and expressions they can think of with take, eg take a day off, take a taxi, take a break, take off, etc.Answers1 take (Moloney's comments) with a pinch of salt2 take care of3 Take (Carole Palmer)4 took part in5 takes on6 takes seriouslyExtensionAsk students to write six new sentences using take from the exercise. They can relate the sentences to their own work or life, eg I'd take the news of a pay rise with a pinch of salt. (not so sure, doubtfully)Module 2.1 Company benefitsAsking questions about jobsSpeaking1) Tell students to imagine they were the journalist writing the article on Xerox on the previous page. They need to create the questions they asked during the interviews with Kim Moloney and Carole Palmer. The article offers clues as to the tense needed for each question. This exercise should be a review for students at this level and provides some basic questions for asking about a job.Answers1 How long have you been working for the company?2 When did you join (the company)?3 What was your first job?4 What are you responsible for?5 Where are you based?6 What would you like to do in the future?2) Students practice asking and answering the questions. If possible, try to pair students who haven't yet met in the class. Make sure the answers use the correct tense and give feedback.The PastGrammar3) Students match the three verb forms to the correct tense definitions.AnswersPast simple: startedPresent perfect: has movedPresent perfect continuous: has been workingRefer students to the Grammar reference on page 128. Suggest they also re-read the information on the present perfect and present perfect continuous in Module 1. Remind students that we tend not to use continuous forms with stative verbs. Also point out that verbs like work and live can often be used in the present perfect and present perfect continuous form with little change in meaning. The main change in emphasis is that the continuous form emphasises that the action is ongoing. You could also draw these timelines on the board to help clarify the meaning:Past simplePast NowX ↑Present perfectPastNowPresent perfect continuousPast Now4) Students underline the correct verb form. When checking answers, ask students to try and explain their choice.Answers1 began2 trademarked3 became4 has been5 has been working6 has been7 took partPhotocopiable activity 2.1See page 162.5) Students complete the letter of application with the verbs in different tenses.Answers1 have been working2 joined3 have had4 have been considering5 has expanded / has been expanding (we are unsure if the expansion has ended)6 completed7 have been studying8 has agreedA letter of applicationWriting6) Begin by asking students if they have ever applied for a job. Elicit the process, eg Where did you find out about the job? Did you have to write a letter or fill in a form? This task resembles the format for Part Two of the Writing Test with students being given a text and then some handwritten notes. Ask students to underline key information. Make sure they realise that they must include the handwritten notes and stay within the word limit. If you are short of time this could be set as homework. If it is done in class, students could work in pairs and draft the letter together.Possible answerDear Sir or Madam,I saw your advert for the post of Personal Assistant to Overseas Sales Manager in yesterday's newspaper and I would like to apply for the position.As you can see from my attached CV, I have been working for a travel agency for the last six months, which I have really enjoyed. Before that I worked as a receptionist and secretary for two years.I have a good knowledge of English as I completed a course at college and I am also fluent in Italian having lived in Rome for the summer in 2006. Please note that my current manager has agreed to write me a reference. I look forward to hearing from you.Yours faithfully(students' name)Module 2.2 Presenting your companyCompany termsVocabulary1) This activity checks that students know some key vocabulary before starting. The definitions are in the information files on pages 126 and 131, or students can check in their dictionaries.During the task, make sure students know how to pronounce all the words. It may be helpful to drill the word stress in these words:distribution, warehouse, headquarters, subsidiary, corporation, division.PresentationsListening2) 2.2 For this first listening, students only need to listen out for the words in exercise 1.Answersheadquarters corporation divisions2.2 Listening scriptExtract 1 Good morning and thanks for coming. Today I'd like to tell you about the world's largest document management company. With a turnover of nearly sixteen billion dollars the Xerox Corporation develops and markets innovative technologies with products and solutions that customers depend upon to get the best results for their business. In my brief presentation we'll begin by looking at some of the key figures behind the company's success and how the company is structured. Then I'll give an overview of Xerox around the world and finally I'd like to talk about some of the trends affecting out market and its future growth. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them at the end. So, here you can see, the turnover for last year was nearly sixteen billion dollars, with a final income of 978 million dollars. We operated from our headquarters in Rochester New York State in 160 countries with 55,000 employees, with over half of those in the USA. This next chart shows you how the corporation is splitinto four divisions. First of all there's Xerox Global Services...Extract 2And finally there's Xerox Innovation with five centres in the United States, Canada and Europe. Note that six percent of revenue was dedicated to research and development last year as the key part of our mission statement is, and I quote, "to help people find better ways to do great work." OK, let's move on to look at Xerox around the world in a little more detail. Take a look at this chart, which shows revenue by region. So about half our revenue is from the US market. Then Europe with over five billion dollars and the rest of the world with over two. One thing I'd like to point out is...Extract 3 Finally, how is the market for the document industry looking? Well it would be unrecognisable to the people who founded the orginal company in 1906 and even compared to the second half of the twentieth century. More and more offices are moving from black and white printing to color, and from paper documents to electronic documents. These are clearly the future opportunities and areas of growth in what is a total market worth an estimated 112 billion dollars...So that brings me to the end of my presentation. Thanks for listening. I hope it's been of interest. Are there any questions?3) Students can work in pairs and try to say the numbers. In order to check their answers, you could play the recording again so students can listen for pronunciation.Answerssixteen billionnine hundred and seventy-eight millionone hundred and sixtyfifty-five thousandhalffoursixfive billiontwo billionnineteen oh sixone hundred and twelve billion4) 2.2 Students listen again and write notes. Answers16,000,000,000 turnover978,000,000,000 final income160 countries55,000 employeeshalf of 55,000 in the USA4 divisions6% of revenue dedicated to research and development 5,000,000,000 dollars revenue in Europe (over) 2,000,000,000 dollars rest of world revenue 1906 company founded 112,000,000,000 total marketPhotocopiabel activity 2.2See page 163.5) 2.2 Give students time to study the flowchart and read the expressions. Then, play the recording at least once for students to match the expressions. Afterwards, students could check their answers by reading the listening script.Answers1 A2 F3 F4 D5 A6 C7 B8 B9 B 10 D11 D 12 A 13 B 14 C 15 FPronunciation6) 2.3 Students might find the idea that we pause so often in a presentation quite strange, but it is a standard technique with experienced presenters, especially when talking to larger audiences. Play the recording and students mark the pauses. With more confident groups, let them try to predict where the pauses will go before listening. It might help to point out that we tend to pause whenever there is a full stop or comma, after signal phrases (Today/Firstly/Next), to separate key information (eg the name of a company), or to emphasise information (as in the presentation about Xerox - the world's / largest / document / management / company). Students can check their answers in the listening script on page 135 where the pauses are indicated already.2.3/2.4 Listening scriptPresenter Good morning/ and thanks for coming. / Today/ I'd like to tell you about/ the world's/ largest/ document / management/ company./ With a turnover ofnearly sixteen billion dollars/ the Xerox Corporation develops/ and markets/ innovative technologies/ with products and solutions/ that customers depend upon to get the best results/ for their business./ In my brief presentation/ we'll begin by looking at/ some of the key figures/ behind the company's success/ and how the company is structured./ Then/ I'll give an overview of Xerox around the world/ and finally/ I'd like to talk about some of the trends/ affecting our market/ and its future growth./ If you have any questions,/ I'll be happy to answer them at the end.7) 2.4 This is designed as a drill and helps to focus students on intonation and stress, as well as pausing. It's a useful strategy that they can learn to apply to their own presentations. Drill it as a class, or students could also practice on their own at home.Giving a presentationSpeaking1) Ask students what kind of company they would like to run if they had the chance. Tell them this is their "dream" company and they are going to create it. Working alone, they make up facts and figures to fill in the first column of the table. The aim of the task is to give controlled practice of the expressions for presenting. Their ideas can be as far-fetched as they like.2) Refer students back to the expressions in exercise 5 on page 21. Students work in pairs and give their presentations. They may find it helpful to repeat their presentations at least twice so they could also change partners. The person listening takes notes and could also offer feedback and suggestions on possible improvements.ExtensionAfter students have give their presentations to partners, you could ask them to do the same again to the class. Also, students could follow the advice in the Learning Tip and record their presentation or transcribe it, marking pauses as they did in exercise 6 on page 21.3) Students prepare a full-length presentation about a company for their next lesson. This could be their own company or one they know well. Alternatively, students could research a company using information on its website and use this as the basis for a presentation.A memoWritingAsk students if they receive memos at work. What are they about?Who writes them? With pre-work learners, ask them if they can define what a memo is.4) Refer students to the Exam Success tip before they read the instructions.Answers1 All staff.2 Any staff with a company based pension scheme.3 There have been changes in the government pension laws.4 This will affect the current company based pension scheme.5 A presentation will be given by the Head of Finance on the changes and any effects.5) The next two exercises help students to write effective subject lines. Make sure students realise the importance of a subject line, which is to summarise the key content of the memo and help the reader to identify the purpose easily.Answerpresentation, changes, pension, schemeExtensionBefore students do exercise 6, ask them to apply questions 2-5 from exercise 4 to each of the memos in exercise 6. Note that all the memos are to "All staff".6) Students should begin by underlining any key words. They could compare these with a partner. Then they will need to choose the best three or four words to keep the subject lines brief.Possible answersMemo 1: Display of new factory plansMemo 2: Presentation on flexitime and home-workingMemo 3: Spanish classes7) This is very similar to the writing task in Part Two of the Writing Test. It could be done in class (perhaps with students in pairs) or set for homework.Possible answerTo: All StaffFrom: (name of student)Date: 1st OctoberSubject: Presentation of new insurance policyTo offer staff a better health insurance scheme, we are now working with a new insurance company. Please note therefore that a representative from this company will present the new staff policy on 9th October at 2pm in the conference room. All staff are welcome to attend.Module 2.3 Reading Test: Part fiveExam practice1) Students complete the table with words that are typically focused on in this part of the Reading Test. Answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsfor the because has whichto a so are whoof and do2) After students work in pairs, ask everyone to feed back to the class so ideas can be shared. It's also a good idea for students to use good dictionaries so they can check the word types beforehand.Possible answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsin an when have itat no article while does himby that3) Ask students to read the rubric carefully. They should always read the whole text first before trying to answer. You might want them to work in pairs and discuss possibilities. Draw their attention to the fact that many of the words will be those looked at in exercises 1 and 2, although other types of words may still be incorrect (see 10 in this text).Answers1 WILL2 OF3 WHO4 IN5 DO6 CORRECT7 TO 8 AND 9 CORRECT10 TAKE 11 FOR 12 CORRECTWriting Test: Part OneExam PracticeRefer students to the Exam Success tip. Students will be fairly familiar with this type of task now as they were introduced to the format on page 12 of Module 1 (exercise 3) and page 23 of Module 2 (exercise 7). For this reason, you can set exam conditions so students can work alone. Allow 10-15 minutes.Possible answerFrom: (student's name)Subject: Confirmation of seminar detailsDate: XXXTo: Assistant seminar organisersPlease note that I have booked Rooms 101 and 102 for the seminar next week. I'd be grateful if you would now confirm this booking and the final schedule for the event with security. Also note that Mr. Singh will be one hour late on the Monday morning.Exam self-checkRefer students to the advice in the Learning Tip. They should swap their work with a partner. It's helpful if students become used to commenting on and being supportive of each other's work.。

I started cycling down to the shop with Dad on Saturday as soon as I was b ig enough. I thought of it as giving him a hand and so I didn’t mind what I did, although it was mostly just fetching and carrying at a run all morning. I managed not to think of it as work and I looked forward to the bar of chocolate my grandmother passed me unsmilingly as I left. I tried not to look at her; I had reason to feel guilty because I’d generally already eaten some dried fruits or a sliver of cheese when no one was looking. As soon as I was fifteen, though, Dad said, “That’s it, our Janet. You’r e of working age now and you’re not coming to work unless your grandmother pays you properly.’ He did his best to make his chin look determined. “I shall speak to her.”The next Saturday, Gran called me into her little office behind the shop. I always hated going in there. She had an electric heater on full blast, and the windows were always kept tightly closed whatever the weather. There were piles of dusty catalogues and brochures on the floor. “You’re wanting to get paid, I hear,” Gran said. “Yes, please,”I replied. It was rather like visiting the head mistress at school, so I was very quiet and respectful. Gran searched through the mess of papers on her crowded desk, sighing and clicking her tongue. Eventually she produced an official-looking leaflet and ran her fingers along the columns of figures. “How old are you?” “Fifteen ... Gran,” I added for extra politeness, but she looked at me as if I had been cheeky. “Full-timers at your age get twohundred and forty pounds for a thirty-five-hour week,” she a nnounced in such a way as to leave no doubt that she wasn’t in favour of this. “No wonder there’s no profit in shopkeeping! So, Janet, what’s that per hour?” Question like that always flustered me. Instead of trying to work them out in my head, I would jus t stand there unable to think straight. “I’ll get a pencil and paper,” I offered. “Don’t bother,” snapped Gran angrily, “I’ll do it myself. I’ll give you 6 pounds an hour; take it or leave it,” “I’ll take it, please,” “And I expect real work for it, mind. N o standing about, and if I catch you eating any of the stock, there’ll be trouble. That’s theft, and it’s a crime.”From then on, my main job at the shop was filling the shelves. This was dull, but I hardly expected to be trusted with handling the money. Once or twice, however, when Dad was extra busy, I’d tried to help him by serving behind the counter. I hated it. It was very difficult to remember the prices of everything and I was particularly hopeless at using the till. Certain customers made unkind remarks about this, increasing my confusion and the chances of making a fool of myself.It was an old-established village shop, going back 150 years at least and it was really behind the times even then. Dad longed to be able to make the shop more attractiv e to customers, but Gran wouldn’t hear of it. I overheard them once arguing about whether to buy a freezer cabinet. “Our customers want frozen food,” Dad said. “They see things advertised and if they can’t get them from us, they’ll go elsewhere.” “Your fa ther always sold fresh food,” Gran replied. “People come here for quality, they don’t want all that frozen stuff.”1. How did Janet feel when she first started her Saturday morning job?(A) She enjoyed the work that she was given.(B) She was pleased to be helping her father.(C) She worried that she was not doing it well.(D) She was only really interested in the reward.2. What do we learn about her grandmother’s office in the second paragraph?(A) It was untidy.(B) It was dark.(C) It needed decorating.(D) It had too much furniture in it.3. The word “flustered” (para. 2) means _______.(A) bored (B) angered (C) confused (D) depressed4. What did Janet’s father and grandmother disagree about?(A) How to keep their customers loyal to the shop.(B) The type of advertising needed to attract customers.(C) The type of customers they wanted to attract.(D) How to get new customers to come to the shop.5.

The town itself lost two great lime trees from the former market square. The disappearance of such prominent features had altered the appearance of the town centre entirely, to the annoyance of its more conservative inhabitants.Among the annoyed, under more normal circumstances, would have been Chief Inspector Douglas Pelham, head of the local police force. But at the height of that week’s storm, when the winds brought down even the mature walnut tree in his garden, Pelham had in fact been in no fit state to notice. A large and healthy man, he had for the first time in his life been seriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.When he first complained of an aching head and tightness in his chest, his wife, Molly, had tried to persuade him to go to the doctor. Convinced that the police force could not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry on working. Predictably, though he wouldn’t have listened to anyone who tried to tell him so, this has the effect of fogging his memory and shortening his temper.It was only when his colleague, Sergeant Lloyed, took the initiative and drove him to the doctor’s door that he finally gave in. By that time, he didn’t have the strength left to argue with her. In no time at all, she was taking him along to the chemist’s to get his p rescribed antibiotics and then home to his unsurprised wife who sent him straight to bed.When Molly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, groaned thankfully when he heard there was none, and pulled the sheets over his head.It wa sn’t until Saturday, when the antibiotics took effect, his temperature dropped and he got up, that he realised with a shock that the loss of the walnut tree had made a permanent difference to the appearance of the living-room. The Pelhams’ large house stood in a sizeable garden. It had not come cheap, but even so Pelham had no regrets about buying it. The leafygarden had created an impression of privacy. Now, though, the storm had changed his outlook.Previously, the view from the living-room had featured the handsome walnut tree. This has not darkened the room because there was also a window on the opposite wall, but it had provided interesting patterns of light and shade that disguised the true state of the worn furniture that the family had brought with them from their previous house.With the tree gone, the room seemed cruelly bright, its worn furnishings exposed in all their shabbiness. And the view from the window didn’t bear looking at. The tall house next door, previously hidden by the tree, was now there, dominating the outlook with its unattractive purple bricks and external pipes. It seemed to have a great m any upstairs windows, all of them watching the Pelhams’ every movement.“Doesn’t it look terrible?” Pelham croaked to his wife.But Molly, standing in the doorway, sounded more pleased than dismayed. “That’s what I’ve been telling you ever since we came here. We have to buy a new sofa, whatever it costs.”6. Why were some people in Brackham annoyed after the storm?(A) The town looked different.(B) The police had done little to help.(C) No market could be held.(D) Fallen trees had not been removed.7. What do we learn about Chief Inspector Pelham and his work, from the third paragraph?(A) He found his work extremely annoying.(B) He was sure that he fulfilled a vital role in his work.(C) He considered the police systems not efficient.(D) He did not trust the decisions made by his superiors.8. When Inspector Pelham’s wife first told him about the walnut tree, he appeared to be _______.(A) worried (B) shocked (C) saddened (D) uninterested9. As a result of the storm, the Pelh ams’ living-room _______.(A) was pleasantly lighter (B) felt less private(C) had a better view (D) was in need of repair10. From what we learn of Inspector Pelham, he could best be described as _______.(A) open-minded (B) well-likedQuestions 11-15A team of world-leading neuro-scientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person’s brain and read their intentions before they act. The research breaks controversial new ground in scientists’ ability to probe people’s minds and eavesdrop on their thoughts, and raises serious ethical issues over how brain-reading technology may be used in the future. The team used high-resolution brain scans to identify patterns of activity before translating them into meaningful thoughts, revealing what a person planned to do in the near future. It is the first time scientists have succeeded in reading intentions in this way.“Using the scanner, we co uld look around the brain for this inf ormation and read out something that from the outside there’s no way you could possibly tell is in there. It’s like shining a torch around, looking for writing on a wall,” said John-Dylan Haynes at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Germany, who led the study with colleagues at University College London and Oxford University.The research builds on a series of recent studies in whichbrain imaging has been used to identify tell-tale activity linked to lying, violent behaviour and racial prejudice. The latest work reveals the dramatic pace at which neuro-science is progressing, prompting the researchers to call for an urgent debate into the ethical issues surrounding future uses for the technology.If brain-reading can be refined, it could quickly be adopted to assist interrogations of criminals and terrorists, and even usher in a “Minority Report” era (as portrayed in the Steven Spielberg science fiction film of that name), where judgments are handed down before the law is broken on the strength of an incriminating brain scan. “These techniques are emerging and we need an ethical debate about the implications, so that one day we’re not surprised and overwhelmed and caught on the wrong foot by what they can do. These things are going to come to us in the next few years and we should really be prepared,” Professor Haynes said. The use of brain scanners to judge whether people are likely to commit crimes is a contentious issue that society shou ld tackle now, according to Haynes. “We see the danger that this might become compulsory one day, but we have to be aware that if we prohibit it, we are also denying people who aren’t going to commit any crime the possibility of proving their innocence.”During the study, the researchers asked volunteers to decide whether to add or subtract two numbers they were later shown on a screen. Before the numbers flashed up, they were given a brain scan using a technique called functional magnetic imaging resonance. The researchers then used a software that had been designed to spot subtle differences in brain activity to predict the person’s intentions with 70 percent accuracy.Because brains differ so much, the scientists need a goodidea of what a person’s brain activity looks like when they are thinking something to be able to spot it in a scan, but researchers are already devising ways of deducing what patterns are associated with different thoughts.11. According to the passage, the brain-reading technology can be used ______.(A) to eavesdrop on potential criminals and terrorists.(B) to probe people’s minds and read their intentions.(C) to design a software to spot subtle differences in brain activity.(D) to suppress activities linked to lying, violence and discrimination.12. Which of the following words can best describe the research on the brain scan?(A) Ethical.(B) Powerful.(C) Compulsory.(D) Groundbreaking.13. What should people do before brain scans are to be put into practical use?(A) Mobilize adequate resources.(B) Resolve controversial issues.(C) Improve the scanner’s accuracy.(D) Identify different brain activities.14. The word “this” in the sentence “We see the danger that this might become compulsory one day, …” (para.5) refers to ______.(A) the use of brain scanners(B) the prohibition of brain scanners(C) warning people who are likely to commit crimes(D) denying people the possibility of proving their innocence15. How did neuroscientists manage to detect different brain activities of people?(A) Flashing them up on a screen.(B) Deducing varying patterns.(C) Using a designed software.(D) Predicting their intentions.Questions 16-20Why bankrupt yourself in a so-called old people’s home? Try a health spa—it might actually be cheaper.Sometimes I see old ladies shuffling along the pavement with their sticks, Zimmer frames for greater support, swollen ankles, backs bent, fingers clutching at the small bag of shopping for one, and I think: “There goes my future.”But perhaps it need not be like that. Instead of bankrupting oneself or the state with the increasingly high cost of home care or an old people’s home, why not try a health spa instead?My friend Rosemary has just returned from a five-day visit to one of these health farms, which she thought might aid her recovery from her heart attack.It wasn’t exactly her cup of tea, she said: a sort of mix between mall shopping and a Saga cruise, “with the same awful whirlpools, people waiting about half-clothed, and loads of boutiques selling odd things.It would have been more beneficial had she not foolishly tried yoga and lay on the floor trying to breathe. One should not do this after a heart attack.Rosemary soon felt clammy and sick, sat on a chair, and then, even more foolishly, raised her arms above her head and nearly flaked out. So she staggered to the smoking room, now hiddenaway in a distant chalet behind the lawn because despite a tremendous struggle, she hasn’t quite managed to give up completely yet.But the food was fabulous, the grounds were heavenly, and there were hordes of charming young staff, and loads of free activities, not all strenuous. Rosemary was able to do blessed little for five days and she did have a lovely rest—perfect if one is old and fairly helpless.When m y mother was alive, I took her to both Rosemary’s health spa and a local care home. It wasn’t a nursing home—my mother was able to wash and dress herself and move about—but entertainment and activities were minimal and the food was grim: the customary dried chicken legs and bits of quiche and white bread ham sandwiches for supper.This wretched place cost exactly the same as the health spa. How can the spa do it for that price and also manage respect for guests, fabulous food and attractive surroundings? W e just can’t work it out.16. What does the author mean when she thinks “There goes my future.” (para. 2)?(A) The same is true of her future.(B) Her future might be worse.(C) She doesn’t have much of a future.(D) She can’t tell what her future hold s for her.17. In the author’s eyes, why did her friend Rosemary benefit less in the health spa?(A) Because she did her mall shopping instead.(B) Because she reverted to her old habit of smoking.(C) Because she did physical exercise not suitable for her.(D) Because she stayed there for a span of five days.18. The author’s high opinion of the health spa is based on ______.(A) her own experience(B) her friend Rosemary’s experience(C) her mother’s experience(D) both Rosemary’s and her mother’s ex periences19. According to the passage, which of the following can be found in a care home?(A) Loads of boutiques.(B) Lots of free activities.(C) Charming young staff.(D) Poor-quality food.20. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.(A) Rosemary will revisit the health spa and stay there longer for recovery(B) a care home is not as attractive as the health spa(C) the health spa is more to the taste of old ladies than to old menQuestions 21-25The latest gloomy news from journalism’s battere d front lines is that the prestigious New York Times (NYT) is laying off 100 staff. Paper-and-ink newspapers are in deep trouble, there’s no doubt about that. But the NYT, as comprehensive as its news coverage sometimes is, is hardly in a position to offer the real story on its current woes, anymore than a psychoanalyst is able to objectively analyze him or herself.What’s bad for the NYT is not necessarily bad for journalism any more than what is good for the NYT is necessarily good for journalism. But with more than 100 newspapers closing down last year, troubles at the NYT can be seen in a general perspective as。

剑桥商务英语中级(BEC2)听力全真试题(2)
剑桥商务英语中级(BEC2)听力全真试题(2) This part is similar in many ways to a multiple-choice item: you have to choose the correct answer from a box containing 8 possible answers. 5 of these answers are correct but 3 are included as distractors. A distractor may at first glance seem to be correct but on later examination it is seen to be wrong. Consequently, R is very important that you check each of your answers very carefully indeed.For example, because you hear the first speaker talking about a computer, you may at first be tempted to choose B a technician as the correct answer for number 1 in the following example. If you listen carefully to everything Speaker 1 says, however, you will realise that the correct answer is D a salesman .Since each answer in the box can be used only once, the number of choices with which you are faced becomes smaller as you progress through the question. Remember also that you will have a second chance to listen to the five pieces, and so you can check each answer then.Each short piece which you listen to in the following example is concerned in some way or other with computers.Although there are always two sections in Part Two,only one section is given here as this is considered adequate to provide a good ideaof the kind of test included in this part of BEC2.You hear.-Section 1. Questions 1 to 5.You will hear five short pieces. For each piece, decide who the speaker is. Write one letter A - H next to the number of the piece. You will hear the five pieces twice.Speaker 1Just a moment while I make a note of your order. I m very pleasedthat you think the computer I ve been demonstrating will meet your needs, and I confirm that I m happy to offer you 15% discount. I m sure you ll be very happy with the computer.Speaker 2I ll just look at all your details on my computer. Ah, I can now see from thescreen that you had a similar complaint about six months ago. Did you takeall the tablets which I prescribed at the time?Speaker 3I m afraid I ll have to take this computer to pieces in order to locate the fault. It shouldn t take too long, Don t worry. Even if h requires a new board, I can get hold of one today and put R in the computer early tomorrow morning.Speaker 4I can soon-find out if there are any seats available on the flight to London on Monday, September 27th. Let me see, it s coming up now on the computer. Yes, we re in luck. There s a flight which leaves Beijing at 9 o clock and gets into London at 6 o clock London time. Shall I see what hotels are available?Speaker 5There aren t enough computers for all the members of my class, but we re still very lucky to have them. The six computers we have are all on three long tables at the back of the room. We can use the computers in small groups on an individual basis after the lectures have finished.You read. -* You will hear five short pieces* For each piece decide who the speaker is.* Write one letter (A - H) next to the number of the piece.* You will hear the five pieces twice.SpeakersA a studentB a technicianC a doctorD a salesmanE a pilotF a newspaper reporterG a travel agentH a hotel ma eager。

BEC中级真题集听力原文(2010版) TEST 1 Part One. Questions 1 to 12 You will hear three telephone conversations or messages. Write one or two words or a number in the numbered spaces on the notes or forms below. After you have listened once, replay each recording.
Conversation One. Questions 1 to 4
Look at the form below. You will hear a man asking a colleague for information about a former employee. You have 15 seconds to read through the form. [Pause] Now listen, and fill in the spaces.
Woman: Personnel… Man: Hello, it's Tim here, from Finance. Woman: Hi, Tim. Man: I've had a letter from the tax office about a student who worked here last summer – I wonder if you could look him up in your records. Woman: Sure, what's the name? Man: The surname's Jaye. First name Stephen. Woman: How does he spell his surname? Man: J-A-Y-E. Got that? Woman: Oh yes, here we are… lives at a hundred and eighty-three School Road, Barnfield… Man: Yes, that's the one. Woman: And you say he was working in Finance? Man: Uhm, Customer Services, actually. Woman: Aah - they had lots of students working for them last summer. Man: Well, the tax people want to know his exact job title - I'm not sure why. Woman: Mm, let me see... He was an office assistant. Man: Right, got that. They also want to know about his monthly earnings. Woman: Let's have a look... five hundred and thirty-eight pounds seventy a month... Oh,sorry, he was a scale one, so that's four hundred and fifty-seven pounds sixty. Anything else? Man: That's fine, thanks. I'll send them the information today... [Pause] Now listen to the recording again. [Pause]
Conversation Two. Questions 5 to 8.
Look at the note below. You will hear a man describing a problem with an order. You have 15 seconds to read through the note. [Pause] Now listen, and fill in the spaces.
Woman: Hello, Blackwell Printers. Julie Davidson speaking. How may I help you? Man: Hello. This is Mark Jones from Europe Holidays. I was hoping to speak to Steven 2
Kirby about the stationery you're printing for us. Woman: I'm afraid Steven's away until Friday. Man: Oh - you see I'm not very happy with the business cards and I wanted to see if I could make a couple of changes to the paper too. Woman: Would you like me to pass on a message? Man: Yes, please. The thing is, I've just received your proofs - the cards themselves are fine, but you seem to have misunderstood the quantities. I'm sure I asked for five hundred for each of the marketing executives and seven hundred and fifty for me but you've put everyone down for seven hundred and fifty. Woman: Right, I've made a note of that. Is there anything else? Man: Yes, well this is my mistake really. Could you ask Steven to move the company logo further to the left? It's too close to the address at the moment. I think that's all for now. Thanks. [Pause] Now listen to the recording again. [Pause]
