BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5)

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

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. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital

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.

Lesson Eleven Section One: News in Brief Tapescript 1. Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines. 2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight. 3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime. Section Two: News in Detail Tapescript Texas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlines and New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel. ' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.' 'This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?' 'Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But Texas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department of Transportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy People

【英语听力】英语高级听力材料： Life in the Freezer

I am at the very center of the great white continent, Antarctica. The South Pole is about half a mile away. For a thousand miles, in all directions, there is nothing but ice. And, in the whole of this continent, which is one and a half times the size of the United States and larger than Europe, there is a year-round population of no more than 800 people. This is the loneliest and the coldest place on earth, the place that is most hostile to life. And yet, in one or two places, it is astonishingly rich. Penguins come here by the million and endure temperatures of minus 70 degrees centigrade and winds of 120 miles an hour. Other birds fly right to the heart of the continent, even though they have to dig away snow in order to find a place to nest . And here is the nursery for over half the world's seals. Antarctica is remote from all other continents, surrounded by the vast southern ocean and smothered by a blanket of ice so immense that it contains over three quarters of the world's freshwater. All life in the Antarctic is dominated by the ice. All but 2% of the continent is covered by it. Its very whiteness reflects back what little heat there is in the sun's feeble rays. And snow, when it falls, remains permanently frozen. So that now, after accumulating for millions of years,

英语高级视听_听力原文_Unit 6 The Coal Cowboy

America's dependence on foreign oil - President Bush called it "an addiction" in his State of the Union address国情咨文- has become a threat to the country's economy and security. While the president spent much of last week promoting energy alternatives可替代能源of the future, like hybrid杂种，混血儿；混合物cars(使用电池、汽油的)双动力汽车and fuels made from wood chips木片，木屑, the governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer, says there's something we can have up把某人请来作客；起诉and running in the next five years. What he has in mind is using the coal, billions of tons of it, under the high plains高地平原；高平原of his home state家乡州. The governor tells correspondent Lesley Stahl he wants to use an existing process to turn that coal into a synthetic综合的；合成的，人造的liquid fuel液体燃料；液态燃料, or synfuel合成燃料. The plan is controversial, but Gov. Schweitzer - half Renaissance man文艺复兴人；多才多艺的人, half rodeo竞技表演；竞技者cowboy牛仔；牧童；莽撞的人- seems ready for the challenge. In fact, he sounds like he's ready to take on承担；呈现；具有；流行；接纳；雇用；穿上the world. "Why wouldn't we create an economic engine经济引擎经济发动机that will take us into the next century, and let those sheiks酋长，族长（阿拉伯人的）and dictators and rats and crooks from all over the world boil in their own oil?" Schweitzer said at a press conference记者招待会，新闻发布会. Schweitzer has called them rats and crooks and hasn't held back on抑制bit. "Hugo Chavez 乌戈·查韦斯（委内瑞拉总统）, the Saudi沙乌地阿拉伯（人或语）的royal family王室；皇族, the leaders of Iran," he said. "How about the countries that end with 'stan'? Nigeria尼日利亚（位于非洲）? You tell me. Sheiks, rats, crooks, dictators, sure." He's a governor with his own foreign policy and no one is calling Brian Schweitzer a wuss胆小鬼，软弱无用的人. He says flat平直地；断然地out竭尽全力；用全速；疲惫that his plan will change the world, and that the key to the country's energy future is buried in the grassy长满草的；草绿色的plains of eastern Montana. "Probably about half of eastern Montana has coal underneath it," Schweitzer explains. Montana is already mining 矿业；采矿a small fraction of its coal. But unlike the deep shaft 拍杆；轴；箭杆；杆状物(电梯等的) 垂直通道利用mining done in West Virginia, Montana coal is surface mined and there hasn't been a fatal致命的；重大的；毁灭性的；命中注定的accident in 15 years.

Lesson 5 Section One: News in Brief 1. The House began debate today on a three-year bill to combat trafficking and use of illegal drugs. The measure has the support of most representatives and House Speaker Thomas O’Neill says he expects it to pass by tomorrow. Among other things, the bill would increase penalties for violators, provide money to increase drug enforcement and coast guard personnel,and require drug producing countries to establish eradication programs as a condition of US support for development loans. 2. A cultural exchange between the US and the Soviet Union may face an American boycott unless US News and World Report correspondent, Nicholas Daniloff, is freed from a Moscow jail. An American style town meeting is scheduled to take place in Latvia next week, but the two hundred seventy Americans due to take part say they won't go if Daniloff remains in jail. They add the decision is a personal one and is not being made by the Reagan Administration in retaliation for the Daniloff detention. 3. Egyptian and Israeli negotiators have reached agreement on resolving the Taba border dispute, clearing the way for a summit between the two countries to begin tomorrow. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres will meet in Alexandria. Details of the Taba agreement have not been made available. Section Two: News in Detail Tapescript The United States House of Representatives is debating an omnibus drug bill and expects to pass the measure tomorrow. Though the bill has attracted strong, bipartisan support, NPR's Cokey Roberts reports the debate on the issue points up the differences between political parties. When Congress returned from the Fourth of July recess, House Speaker Tip O'Neill said there was only one thing members were talking about in the cloak-room: drugs. The Democrats quickly pulled together chairmen from twelve different committees to draft a drug package. Then, stung by criticism that they were acting in a partisan fashion, the Democratic leaders invited the Republicans to join them in the newly declared war on drugs. So, when the bill came to the House floor today, the party leaders led off debate. Texas Democrat Jim Wright, 'It's time to declare an all-out war, to mobilize our forces, public and private,national and local, in a total coordinated assault upon this menace, which is draining our economy of some two hundred and thirty billion dollars

"It's time to declare an all-out war, to mobilize our forces, public and private, national and local, in a total coordinated assault upon this menace, which is draining our economy of some two hundred and thirty billion dollars this year, slowly rotting away the fabric of our society, seducing and killing our young. That it will take money is hardly debatable. We can't fight artillery with spitballs." The question of just how much money this measure will cost has not been answered to the satisfaction of all members. Democrats say it's one and half billion dollars over three years, with almost seven hundred thousand for next year. Republicans claim the price tag will run higher and are trying to emphasize other aspects of the drug battle, aspects which they think play better in Republican campaigns. Minority leader Robert Michel. "The ultimate cure for the drug epidemic must come from within the heart of each individual faced with the temptation of taking drugs. It is ultimately a problem of character, of will power, of family and community, and concern, and personal pride." Among other items, the bill before the House increases penalties for most drug related crimes, sets the minimum jail term of twenty years for drug trafficking and manufacturing, authorizes money for the drug enforcement administration and prison construction, beefs
