24、my agenda. There were one or two small points that I would have liked to have got through but I can probably have my assistant send up memos to the managers of each department concerning these. I must say I was very impressed with your ideas for the future of your department. Good work, Im also very
25、 impressed with that young man in the finance department. Whats his name? Uh, Mike. He could have quite a future in front of him. I can certainly use fresh ideas like his in this company. 13 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 能说出： “I can probably have my assistant send up memos to the managers of each department conce
26、rning these.”的，只有 managing director(总经理 )了。 14 【听力原文】 Well, Im quite nervous about it, to be honest. Ive never met the boss before and Ive heard he can be a bit dismissive of younger managers. And its only because my immediate superior is off sick that Ive been asked to represent my department at to
27、days meeting. Its so early as well. Nine oclock. Thats why Im hoping therere no delays on the way today. At least we are making good time so far. Thats all I need to be late. Its bad enough forgetting to bring any money with me today. Thats great for someone in my department, isnt it? 14 【正确答案】 C 【试
28、题解析】 从 “ Im quite nervous about it” 和听说 boss对年轻经理有点排斥的紧张劲可看出他是 Junior初级的。 15 【听力原文】 I think I mentioned to you all before that at the interdepartmental meeting with the managing director last week, it was put to me that we need to look into expansion into new markets. And I am interested in any sugg
29、estions that anyone in our department may come up with. You had some excellent ideas for expansion last year when we moved to the Mid-eastern market. So if you could all give that some thought, I know, Sarah, that you said you looked into the possibility of further eastern European Customers on your
30、 last trip to the Czech Republic, and Ill be interested in your report, uh, when its ready. 15 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 不要因为听到 managing director就选 G。答题的关键在： “we need to look into expansion into new markets.” 16 【听力原文】 And Androme, have you got those figures for the suggestions for the new courses that we hop
31、e to-be able to offer? Or were those in the file that you left in the office, too. Id like to take them with me to the interdepartmental meeting this afternoon, as it should be a good opportunity to try to persuade everyone there of the value of the new courses, and the new language training scheme
32、in particular. If Im successful in this, it could mean some profitable expansion for all of us in our department. So please remember to get them to me this time. 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 仅凭 “new courses”， “new language training”就可马上做出选择。 17 【听力原文】 Well, I dont know. We didnt really talk about my departmen
33、t. Most items on the agenda seem to be about our new marketing strategy or something, which. has very little to do with me. Well, I suppose it will affect me eventually. Because if we do expand, a lot more staff are going to be needed. So Ill be busy interviewing for a while. But apparently thats un
34、likely to be before next September. Actually thats a point, though. Perhaps we should think about taking our holiday in France before then because you said some thing about being very busy in your job after August. We dont want the same complications as last year. 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 此题很难做。听到 marketi
35、ng，可能会选 E；听到后半部分，又会不知所云。其实关键部分在中间： “Because if we do expand, a lot more staff are going to be needed.”从此，我们可以看出他的职位。 18 【听力原文】 Well, I wrote to them last week thanking them for their help over the accounting matter. Ive just had a reply. Theyve written to say we were right to decide to reduce costs,
36、 which is nice to know. But they want us to cut back even more. Barry suggested that I pass it on to the accounts department to see if they could make more savings. But I think weve gone as far as we can. So Im just going to leave it for the moment. If theyre really insistent, theyll write again. Bu
37、t I dont think I need to do anything aobut it right now. 18 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 从 “But I dont think I need to do anything a bout it right now.”可知，其持观望态度。 19 【听力原文】 I was quite surprised to get their letter, actually. In the past, theyve done nothing but complained a bout everything. There always seemed
38、to be some thing wrong. So its strange that they now want so many of the components, especially as theyre relatively untested. Weve only had them on the market for a month. They want us to deliver sixty by September. Im not sure we can meet the delivery dates they want. And I wanted to call and disc
39、uss it with them over the phone, but I think its better if the sales department deals with it directly. Weve had so many problems with them in the past. I think Ill keep out of it. 19 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 从 “I think its better if the sales department deals with it di rectly. Weve had so many problems wit
40、h them in the past. I think III keep out it.”可知。 20 【听力原文】 Ive just had a letter from them about that actually. They want to know what were going to do. They didnt agree with our decision to expand with Australia, so now they want to know if were proposing to go into New Zealand as well, I dont want
41、 to give too much away until we know what they are doing. I was going to write and ask for further details of their expansion scheme, but Ive decide not to. I think it will be better done face to face. So I asked my secretary to set something out for next week. And hopefully it will be fairly friend
42、ly 20 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 之所以选择 “arranging a meeting”，原因在于说话者放弃了原先的仅仅问对方要扩张计划的打算，准备和其 face to face进行谈判，并让秘书为此 set out(准 备 )点材料。 21 【听力原文】 About 2 months ago, we ordered the new photo copiers that they were selling. But they still havent appeared. Now theyve written to say they are sorry they werent deli
43、vered on time. They expect to deliver them by the end of this week. Thats lucky, be cause I was just about to write to complain about them taking so long. I wont write now, but I still dont think we ought to just accept it. So Im going to give them a ring to talk about the problems. If we dont say a
44、ny thing, then the same thing will just happen again next time. But Id like to keep it informal for now. 21 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 这题很简单，只要听懂其中 complain为报怨意即可轻松作答。 22 【听力原文】 I said I wanted to make it out to Harrison. So theyve written to say they are organizing something next month. Apparently he is going
45、 to give a talk about the ideas in his new book. Theyve asked every one in the sales & marketing to go. Of course theyre right about accepting, as hes the expert in their field. The problem is I wanted the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with him. I dont want to just listen to a lecture wi
46、th a lot of other people. So Im going to reply saying Im very sorry, and Ive decided not to go. 22 【正确答案】 F 【试题解析】 从 “I wanted the opportunity to have a de tai led discussion with him”可知。 三、 PART THREE 23 【听力原文】 A: So what exactly is POP? B: Well, POP stands for Point of Purchasing and it refers to
47、the advertising techniques used to sell specific products at the point where customers buy them. A: Such as at the supermarket check-out or on the shelves in a shop? B: Yes, thats right, and managers are slowly beginning to realize how successful it can be and are building it into their general plan
48、s for promoting product ranges. The surprising thing is its taking a while to catch on in a big way. A: Is that because firms are going to have to spend a lot of money in the early stages? B: Thats true, and of course the displays have to be serviced regularly. But we know that most people dont deci
49、de what to buy until they are in the shop. And it seems that retail managers are beginning to see sense at last. Firstly, its generally accepted that consumers ignore adverts on TV. Secondly, the expansion of cable and satellite TV channels has made it much more difficult to reach all consumers with an effective TV advertising cam
