BEC商务英语（高级）听力模拟试卷 90答案与解析 一、 PART ONE 0 【听力原文】 You will hear a business presentation about how to solve busin

14、ess problems. As you listen, for questions 1 12, complete the notes, using up to three words. You will hear the recording twice. (10 seconds pause) Today lets talk about business - about how to solve business problem. One difficult thing about doing business is knowing how to solve problems. Why is

15、it important to know how to solve business problems? Well, people who do business together sometimes disagree, but they dont know how to work together to solve their problems in a good way. Solving problems in business is especially difficult if the business people come from different cultures -for

16、example, from the United States and China -because many times different cultures have different ways of solving problem. When American business people talk, they are open about their problems. They talk about their opinions and feelings, and dont hide their feelings. Usually, Americans want their bu

17、siness associates to be open about their problems. When you are doing business with Americans, it is important to know how to solve problems openly. Today Im going to talk about four steps for solving business problems in a open way. Im going to explain each step. The first step is to listen careful

18、ly to your business associate. To do this, you must stop thinking about your own side of the problem for a few minutes. That is, stop and listen. Try to understand everything about your business associates side of the problem. When you are listening, dont interrupt. If you interrupt, he or she cant

19、talk about their side of the problem. Just listen carefully, because disagreements are often caused when we dont really understand our business associate. The second step is to talk about your side of the problem. After listening, its your turn to explain your side of the problem carefully so you bu

20、siness associate can understand. However, it is very important not to insult or blame. If you insult or blame your business associate, he or she will get angry and then wont want to talk to you anymore. You both have talked about your side of the problem. Now you are ready for the third step. The th

21、ird step is finding a solution together. Sometimes it is difficult to solve a problem because each person has a different solution. They each think “My idea is best.“ If there are two different solutions, and people want to use their own solutions, you cant solve the problem. Instead, you both need

22、to think of a solution together. That is step 3 - find a solution together. Talk about all the possible solutions, and then agree on the one that is good for both of you. Were moving to the fourth step - the fourth step is to write down an agreement. The agreement should tell what each person will d

23、o. Write it down so that you will remember the solution - you will remember the actions that will solve the problem. Finally, both people should thank each other, and make plans to talk again in the future. (10 seconds pause) 1 【正确答案】 IN A GOOD/OPEN WAY 2 【正确答案】 DIFFERENT CULTURES 3 【正 确答案】 OPINIONS

F: No, thats free. M: OK. Right. The other thing I wanted to know was: do you pay interest on current accounts? F: Y

28、es, we do. As long as your account is in credit. The interest is then calculated daily, and we add it to your account at the end of each month. M: Uh huh. F: Is there anything else youd like to know, Mr. Aziz? M: No, I think thats all for the time being. Thank you. F: Thank you for calling. Mr. Aziz

38、chell and Madam Li. For each question 23 30, mark one letter A, B or C for the correct answer. You will hear the recording twice. (10 seconds pause) F: Mr. Mitchell, when we last met, time did not permit us to discuss Sinochems exports of agrochemicals. Shall we review these now before we continue o

39、ur discussions on dyestuffs and organic pigments? M: I think that might be a good idea, Madam Li. Our time in Beijing is growing short and I do wish to take home as much information as I can. F: This catalogue describes our agrochemicals exports, which include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, a

40、nd plant growth regulators, as well as fertilizers. M: We would like to take home a number of copies of this catalogue, if we may, for review by our marketing division. In the meantime, however, it would appear that insecticides would be of primary interest. F: Certainly, Mr. Mitchell. Just let me k

41、now how many copies you want and will have them delivered to your hotel before you leave. M: Oh, half a dozen will be fine for now. F: I will make sure this is done. May we now continue our discussions on dyestuffs and organic pigments? M: Yes, I believe we have reached the stage where we should exp

42、lore the feasibility of setting up an agency relationship with your company. I have reviewed our notes on our previous discussions and we have pretty well concluded that on this particular visit we should focus on your dyestuffs. F: That will be fine. In other words, you would like to leave the poss

43、ible importation of our inorganic and organic pigments for future consideration? M: Yes, that is correct. We believe that Galaxy needs to do its homework on these commodities. We would like to complete some further market research studies before making any commitments to you in regard to this. F: We

44、 appreciate your candour, Mr. Mitchell. Whenever you wish to reopen discussions concerning these commodities, we will look forward to hearing from Galaxy. M: Now during our earlier discussions, you mentioned that your minimum quantity of shipping dyestuffs offshore is one container, holding between

45、10 and 14 metric tons. F: That is correct, Mr. Mitchell. M: What would be your agents commission on these minimum quantities? F: We, too, have had some internal discussions on this matter and we can offer you an agent s commission of 2% of the selling price on all dyes. M: Some of the dyes will be m

46、ore readily marketable than others. For example, I can foresee that, with the right amount of promotional effort, we would be able to develop a significant market for your reactive dyes. Nevertheless, we would have to launch a fairly extensive, and no doubt costly, promotional program to introduce t

47、hese dyes to the end users. There would be a very considerable first time advertising expenditure, followed by regular outlays for reinforcement advertising as these products become known and the end users begin to apply them. F: As you know, the reactive dyes are considerably more expensive than th

48、e sulfur dyes. Therefore, any sales of these commodities would generate significant agency revenues. M: During the initial stages, however, most of these commissions would be required to pay for the promotional expenses, which will be very substantial indeed. Have you considered the feasibility of a

49、ssuming financial responsibility for at least a portion of the required advertising campaign? We would visualize some television and perhaps radio advertising, but primarily inserts into local daily newspapers and trade magazines. F: We have not previously provided our agents with any, what you might call, promotional allowances. Advertising of our products is strictly the responsibility of the agent. M:
