Unit 1
(1) I'm really sorry:
Ted: Oh, I'm really sorry. Are you OK?
Ana: I'm fine. But I'm not very good at this.
Ted: Neither am I. Say, are you from South America?
Ana: Yes, I am originally. I was born in Argentina.
Ted: Did you grow up there?
Ana: Yes, I did, but my family moved here eight years ago when I was in high school.
Ted: And where did you learn to rollarblade?
Ana: Here in the park. This is only my second time.
Ted: Well, it's my first time. Can you give me some lessons?
Ana: Sure. Just follow me.
Ted : By the way, my name is Ted.
Ana: And I'm Ana. Nice to meet you.
Hey, hey! that was fun
Ted: Hey, hey! that was fun. Thank you for the lesson!
Ana: No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you do?
Ted: I work in a travel agency.
Ana: Really! What do you do there?
Ted: I'm in charge of their computers.
Ana: Oh, so you're a computer specialist.
Ted: Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so.
Ana: That's great. Then maybe you can give me some help with a computer course I'm taking.
Ted: Oh, sure...But only if you promise to give me some more rollarblading lessons.
Ana: It's a deal!
(2) Where are you from originally, Yu Hong
Interviewer: Where are you from originally, Yu Hong?
Yu Hong: I'm from China...from near Shanghai.
Interviewer: And when did you move here?
Yu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992. Interviewer: And what do you do now?
Yu Hong: I'm a transportation engineer.
Interviewer: I see. So you 're an immigrant to the United States.
Yu Hong: Yes, that's right.
Interviewer: What are some of difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.? Yu Hong: Oh, that's not an easy question to answer. There are so many things,
really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don't have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but that's not the same thing. In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn't the same here. Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home?
Yu Hong: Oh, that's easy: my mom's soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mother's cooking.
(3) Hey! Are these pictures of you
A: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?
B: Yeah! That's me in front of my uncle's beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks every summer.
A: Wow, I bet that was fun!
B: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great shell collection. In fact, I think it's still up in the attic!
A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!
A: You know what I remember most about growing up?
B: What?
A: Visiting my grandparent's house… you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent's house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.
B: Ah, memories!
Unit 2
(4) Why is there never a bus when you want one?
A: Why is there never a bus when you want one?
B: Good question. There aren't enough buses on this route.
A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.
B: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.
A: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in genral.
B: And fewer cars! There's too much traffic.
A: Say, is that our bus coming?
B: Yes, it is. But look. It's full!
A: Oh, no! Let's go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I'm going to write.
A: So you are really going to write a letter to the paper?
B: Sure. I'm going to say something about the buses. They're too old. We need more modern buses… nice air-conditioned ones.
B: And they need to put more buses on the road.
A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isn't enough parking. B: That's for sure. It's impossible to find a parking space downtown these days. A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.
B: Oh, you mean they shouldn't allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm… that sounds like a really good idea.
(5) Quite a number of things
Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.
Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.
There is also a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.
The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their subway system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very good taxi and bus system.
(6) Excuse me. Could you tell me
A: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is?
B: There's one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.
A: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens?
B: It should be open now. It opens at 8:00A.M.
A: Good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?
B: You need to check at the transportation counter. It's right down the hall. A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is? B: Right behind you, ma'am. See that sign?
A: Oh. Thanks a lot.
A: Excuse me. It's me again. I'm sorry. I need some more information-if you don't mind.
B: Not at all.
A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?
B: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars.
A: Forty dollars? I guess I'll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?
B: Go upstairs and turn right. You'll see the snack bar on your left.
A: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.
B: You, too.
Unit 3
(7) What do you think?
A: What do you think?
B: Well, it has just as many bedroom as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.
C: But the bedroom are too small. And there isn't enough closet space for my clothes.
A: And it's not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.
B: But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood. A: Let's see if the real estate agent has something else to show us.
A: Well, how do you like this space, then?
C: Oh, it's much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are too huge!
B: Yes, they are nice and big.
C: And there are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!
B: Yes, I guess you could.
C: The only problem is the color of the living room. I really don't like those dark green walls.
A: Oh, I'm sure we can change the color if we want to.
(8) Creative Rentals.
A: Creative Rentals. Good morning.
B: Hello. I'm calling about the apartment you have for rent.
A: Yes. What can I tell you about it?
B: Where is it, exactly?
A: It's on King Street, just off the freeway.
B: Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear the traffic?
A: Yes, I'm afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living room
B: I see. And is it in a new building?
A: Well, the building is about fifty years old.
B: Uh-huh. Well, I'll think about it.
A: OK. Thanks for calling.
B: Thank you. Bye
A: Hello？
B: Hello. Is the apartment you're advertising still available?
A: Yes, it is.
B: Can you tell me a little about it?
A: Well, it's a perfect apartment for one person. It's one room with a kitchen at one end.
B: I see. And is it far away from the subway?
A: There's a subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But it's on a high floor, so you don't hear any street or traffic noise.
B: It sounds like just the kind of place I'm looking for. I'd like to come see it, please.
A: Sure. Let me give you the address.
(9) So where are you working now
A: So where are you working now, Terry?
B: Oh, I'm still at the bank. I don't like it, though.
A: That's too bad. Why not?
B: Well, it's boring, and it doesn't pay very well.
A: I know what you mean. I don't like my job either. I wish I could find a better job.
B: Actually, I don't want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.
A: Hmm, how old are you, Terry?
B: Uh, twenty-six.
A: So how are things going with you and Susie, Terry?
B: Oh, you didn't know? She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again.
A: I'm sure you will.
B: I really hope so. So what kind of job would you like to look for?
A: I'm not sure, but I'd really like to move to another city. I'm sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.
B: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.
Yeah, I really need a change. I've been doing the same things for ever five years now, and I'm just not learning anything new. It's the same routine every day, and I am really sick of sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.
I really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends.
I get really bored on the weekends, and if I joined a club. I'd probably get to meet people and make new friends.
I should take a typing course this summer. I really need if it for my school work. And people say that if you can type really well, it's something you'll find useful later in life.
Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. I've gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat. And if I don't lose weight now, I won't be able to get into any of my summer clothes.
Unit 4
(10) Hey, this sounds good-snails

B: No, thanks. They sound strange.
C: Have you decided on an appetizer yet?

A: Oh, good. Here comes the waitress now!
C: Here are your snails, madam. And for you, sir… the fried brains.
B: Thank you.
A: Mmm, these snails are delicious! How are the brains?
B: Well, I think they're… yuck! Oh, sorry, I guess brains are pretty strange after all. Um, I think I'm going to order something else, if you don't mind. A: Oh, sure. Go ahead.
B: Miss! Excuse me, miss!
C: Yes?
B: Uh, I really don't care for this appetizer. Could you bring me something else? C: Yes, of course. What would you like instead?
A: Try the snails.
B: No, I don't think so. I'll tell you what. Just forget an appetizer for me, and bring me a nice, juicy hamburger… medium rare…with French fries and a large soda.
(11) Have you finished with this
A: Have you finished with this?
B: No, I'm still drinking it. Thanks.
A: Did you order this?
B: Yes, that's mine. Mmm, it looks great and smells delicious!
A: Don't you like it?
B: I haven't tasted it yet. I'm waiting for the waitress to bring me a fork.

BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5) In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need. Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated. From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life. Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the

United 2 A plan to build the world's first airport for launching commercial spacecraft in New Mexico is the latest development in the new space race, a race among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and to kick-start a new industry, astro tourism. The man who is leading the race may not be familiar to you, but to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –Burt Rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the world's first private spaceship. As he told 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinary people to go where only astronauts have gone before The White Knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just for the purpose of carrying a rocket plane called SpaceShipOne, the first spacecraft built by private enterprise. White Knight and SpaceShipOne are the latest creations of Burt Rutan. They're part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. "There will be a new industry. And we are just now in a beginning. I will

LESSON 13 SECTION 1 1.A special committee of twelve senator s today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion. 一个由十二位参议员组成的特殊委员会今天开始启动对联邦法官Harry Claiborne的弹劾。这是十五年来第一次发生这样的诉讼。Claiborne因为被判逃税而收押在监。 2 President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.'" Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups. 里根总统今天继续他的全国性禁毒行动。他要求对所有处于敏感部门的联邦政府的职工进行强制性毒品检查。他还送给国会一份关于国家反毒品增加9亿美元预算的法案，其中很大部分是用于边境巡逻。总统说立法是联邦政府坚决反对毒品的有效方法。“我们要严厉打击毒品，我们不是随便说说的。对于那些在想着使用毒品的人，我们说：…停止！?对于那些做毒品买卖的人，我们说：…当心！?”对于部分联邦工作人员的强制药检是总统计划中最受争议的部分。它受到部分职员团体的谴责。 One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters.

Unit 1 Pirates of the InternetIt’s no secret that online piracy has decimated the music industry as millions of people stopped buying CDs and started stealing their favorite songs by downloading them from the internet. Now thehign-tech thieves are coming after Hollywood. Illegal downloading of full-length feature films is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s becoming easier and easier to do. The people running America’s movie studios know that if they don’t do something----and fast---they could be in the same boat as the record companies. Correspodent: “What’s really at stake for the movie industry with all this privacy?”Chernin: “Well, I think, you know, ultimately, our absolute features.” Peter Chernin runs 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. He knows the pirates of the Internet are gaining on him. Correspont: “Do you know how many movies are being downloaded today, in one day, in the United States?”Chernin: “I think it’s probably in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.”Correspondent: “And it’s only going to grow.” Chernin: “It’s only going to grow. √Somebody can put a perfect digital copy up on the internet.

Obese state workers to be charged more for health insurance Overweight is definitely, definitely a problem issue for a lot of people, me being one of them. Those extra pounds add up to health care cost. State officials say that the leading causes of preventable death are tobacco use, lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet. There has been a shift upward in terms of the percentage of members who have signs of disease. Starting in July of next year, the state will put those tar-heeler employees who smoke on a PPO basic 70-30 plan. In July of 2011, those who have a body mass index of 40 or more will be put on the same limited coverage too. I understand that no one likes to be singled out; however, that is willfully choosing ill health. Most people agree with the penalties for smokers. A lot of companies have already started instituting similar policies. It's the plan for obese-state employees that has everyone talking.
