Section C
Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then write down the correct answer in the brackets for each question or statement. This section totals 20 points, two points for each question. Passage One
What a lovely place Xerox is to work Kim Moloney, a client services executive, can‟t say enough nice things about her employer. „It‟s a very special environment,‟ she says. „People describe Xerox as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long.‟ It‟s tempting to take Moloney‟s comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when you‟ve been working
somewhere for only two years, as she has at Xerox, everyone seems old and established. But there‟s truth behind her enthusiasm.
Take Carole Palmer, the group resources director. She joined Xerox in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. „Xerox has been good to me over the years,‟ she says. „It has supported me through
qualifications … and last year I took part in the vice-president incumbent program.‟ Human resources is taken seriously at Xerox, Palmer says, and the company has a policy of promoting from within (which would explain Moloney‟s amazement at her colleagues‟ longevity). The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who joined having already acquired a couple of years‟ work experience. She started as a project manager for Xerox Global Services
before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to „grow and maintain customer relationships‟.
Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets, research and development and【2015年商务英语考试BEC中级模拟试题（一）】
manufacturing, means that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants. Perks include a final-salary pension scheme and various discount schemes. The reward and recognition scheme is a little different, and rather nice: „Each manager has a budget every year to recognize and reward staff,‟ Palmer says. „It can be in the form of a meal for two, or a bottle of wine. It can be up to £1,000. There‟s the recognition, and then there‟s putting money behind it.‟ Moloney, however, likes the non-cash rewards. „Xerox takes care of all its staff but it also recognizes the people who put in the added effort,‟ she says. „It offers once-in-a-lifetime incentive trips, and recently I organized a sailing trip for my team.‟
The idea of working abroad with the company appeals to her, and she says that her career goal is to be part of the senior management team. Here‟s another employee, it would seem, who is in it for the long haul.
( )1.The journalist of this article thinks that . A. staff at Xerox are not telling the truth abut the company.
B. Xerox offers great benefits to staff. C. Xerox is the best company in the world. D. Xerox has the best working environment. ( )2.The company tends to find its new manager . A. only form graduates B. on training courses C. from existing staff D. from job markets
( )3.What does the phrase “to take on” in the sentence “The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and …” of the second paragraph mean? . A. To train B. To employ
C. To interview D. To maintain(A)
( )4.As well as recognizing its staff through promotion, Xerox .
A. gives cash bonuses
B. gives unpaid leave to take trips of a lifetime. C. provides a number of perks.
D. provides huge end-of-year bonuses.
( )5.One common feature of Xerox staff is that they tend .
A. to work hard B. to get promoted
C. work longer hours each day D. not to change employer
Passage Two
Even if you get work done and generally get along with co-workers, you could have habits that bug your boss (not to
mention your officemates). While these quirks may not necessarily get you fired, they certainly can keep you from climbing the corporate ladder. We‟ve uncovered a number of habits that bug your boss and offer tips on how to avoid them.
According to LaRhonda Edwards, a human resources manager with thirteen years of HR experience, tardiness is one of the biggest concerns for managers. “If the normal work day starts at 8 o‟clock, then the expectation is that you‟re in the office ready to start your day,” she explains. Her advice to the chronically late? “Plan ahead,” she urges. “If you live 50 minutes away, you don‟t leave 50 minutes early. Tag on extra time and anticipate road blocks.” Some people even set their clocks a few minutes early to ensure that they‟re on time. Different bosses prefer different modes of communication. Lindsey Pollak, a workplace expert and author of Getting from College to Career, says if you text your boss and she prefers in-person meetings, “either your information won‟t get across or you‟ll irritate [her].” Fortunately, there‟s a simple fix: ask your boss how and when to send updates. If you‟re too shy to ask outright, then Pollak suggests observing how they communicate with you. “If you have a boss who communicates once a day by email, that‟s the boss‟ preferred frequency and method of communication,” explains Pollak.
A cluttered, messy work space can give your boss the impression that you‟re lazy or disorganized, so try to keep your desk neat. “Never put more on your desk than you‟re going to work on for the day,” recommends Edwards. “At the end of the day, make sure you set up for the next day. I may be working on five things at once, but at the end of the day, they‟re gone, and I set up for the next day.” Most managers would rather you ask a question than make a mistake, but many questions can be answered on your own. “Is this something you could Google or ask a colleague?” wonders Pollak. “The internet is so vast that a lot of information you can get yourself.” If you must approach your boss with a question or issue, then Pollak recommends brainstorming beforehand. “Rather than saying „This client is terrible. What should I do?‟ think about potential solutions,” she says.【2015年商务英语考试BEC中级模拟试题（一）】
Cell phones are practically ubiquitous in the workplace these days, but it‟s still disruptive and disrespectful when they go off during a meeting. Edwards says that you should, “put your cell phone on vibrate or leave it in your own office so it‟s not a distraction.” That way you won‟t be tempted to text either
( )6.According to the article, how many pieces of advice are offered here? .
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five(B) ( )7.What is this article about? .
A. How to be successful in the workplace. B. How to communicate with your boss. C. How to avoid quirks that annoy your boss. D. How to utilize your mobile phones at work. ( )8.What does the phrase “to get across” in the sentence “…she prefers in-person meetings, “either your
information won‟t get across or you‟ll irritate …” of the second paragraph mean? .
A. To be communicated B. To be passed C. To be promoted D. To be anticipated(A)
( )9.According to the article, which of the following modes of communication is the best when communicating with your boss? .
A. Any ways you think are appropriate. B. In-person meetings. C. Correspondence.

Income growth per head in New Mexico averaged 6. 1/00 in the year to October 1992-one of the fastest growth rates in the United States.

昨日公布的一项调查显示，尽管去年英国初创企业的融资额增长了27%，达到约14亿英镑，但中国仍取代英国，成为世界第二大风险投资目的国。
China overtook the UK as the world's second-biggest destination for venture capital investments last year, in spite of a 27 per cent rise in British early-stage company funding to about ￡1.4bn, a survey revealed yesterday.
总部位于剑桥的创业研究中心Library House表示，如果印度的风险资本投资延续2006年90%的增速，到2009年，印度的排名也将超过英国。
Library House, the Cambridge-based entrepreneurship research centre, said India was also due to overtake the UK by 2009 if Indian venture capital investments continued to grow at the 90 per cent rate seen in 2006.
这项调查是由瑞银财富管理(UBS Wealth Management)委托进行的。调查预计，英国今年的风险资本投资可能降至10亿至12亿英镑，相当于2003年的水平。
The report, commissioned by UBS Wealth Management, forecast that UK venture capital could decline to ￡1bn-￡1.2bn this year, equivalent to 2003 levels.
培育创业文化一直是“新工党(New Labour)”的宏伟蓝图之一，但此项调查将引发人们担忧英国的创业活动不仅落后于美国，还落后于以更快速度增长的亚洲经济体。 Fostering an entrepreneurial culture has been one of New Labour's main ambitions and the report will raise concerns that the country is falling behind not only the US but also faster growing Asian economies.
调查报告指出，中国和印度的崛起分流了英国初创企业的资金。这与英国风险投资家所谓该领域正在强劲复苏的说法大相径庭。
By arguing that funding for British start-up companies is being cannibalised by the rise of China and India, the report clashes with claims from British venture capitalists that their sector is recovering strongly.
英国领先风险投资公司DFJ Esprit的首席执行官西蒙?库克(Simon Cook)表示：“风险资本已走向全球。美国资金向印度和中国进行了大量投资，我预计欧洲资金
Simon Cook, chief executive of DFJ Esprit, a leading UK-based venture capitalist, said: "Venture capital has gone global. There has been a lot of capital invested in India and China by US funds and I expect that to come to Europe next year."
近年来，大规模杠杆收购基金的快速兴起令风险资本相形见绌。英国风险投资家在互联网泡沫破裂后遭受严重亏损，他们一直未能摆脱人们的这种观念：他们的回报比大型杠杆收购基金低。
Venture capital has been overshadowed in recent years by the rapid rise of big leveraged buy-out funds. Haunted by losses suffered after the bursting of the
dotcom bubble, venture capitalists in Britain have struggled to escape the idea they make lower returns than their bigger LBO cousins.
Library House高级分析师罗杰?弗兰克林(Roger Franklin)表示，从今年上半年的风险资本投资水平推断，英国2007年的风险资本投资可能会减少10%至20%。这可能直接源自中国和印度风险投资活动的快速增长。中国去年的风险资本投资增长了50%至60%。
Roger Franklin, senior analyst at Library House, said extrapolations from venture capital investment levels in the first half of 2007 suggested the UK was on track to see a decline of 10 to 20 per cent this year. This could be a direct result of the rapid growth in Chinese and Indian venture capitalist activity. Chinese VC investments rose by 50 to 60 per cent last year.
弗兰克林表示：“中国和印度的增长水平如此之高，可能会从更成熟的市场吸引部分资金。特别是美国的风险投资，也许已经将资金从欧洲转向了亚洲。”

PART THREE
Questions 1 3- 20
. Read this text about south Korea's economic development, and answer the questions that follow.
the Koreans see the Seoul Olympics as a chance to show their rapid proGREss. The Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964 served the same purpose for a developing Japan. Within 13 years , according to a detailed development plan ,Korea is determined to be among the world's ten largest trading nations ,up from the 13th now.
1. Much of the economy's development in recent years comes from what Korean leaders call the three blessings-lower oil prices, lower world wide interest rates, and a currency that is weak against the Japanese yen. The Korean won is closely related with many other currencies, though the finance ministry will not say which ones. Obviously the U. S. dollar is the most important. When its value drops against the Japanese yen, the Korean won went down too. Since September 1985 the won has decreased about 40% against the yen, giving Korea a huge advantage over Japan in the U.S. market.
2. the Koreans made good use of this advantage, pouring 40% of their exports into America. When the U.S. responded with tough protectionism talk, they pretended to be surprised and angry. The Koreans still see themselves as relatively poor dependents of the U.S. and take American protectionism as betrayal by a big brother. They are right. The Korean economy is only 6% of Japan's. Tall buildings in Seoul resemble those in Tokyo, but the Korean capital is full of narrow streets and poor houses like a village. In the countryside some 20% of home lack running water. Moreover, Korea has a heavy defense burden as well as that big foreign debt.
3. And Korea has suffered set tacks before In the 1970s the government supported heavy industry ,creating some big but sseless enterpriscs. The Treasury Ministry is still quietly supporting some ill shipping and overseas companies. Meanwhile the government does not know
how to set up wining industries.
4. the Koreans are also quick to point out that their 7.1 billion trade surplus with the U.S. is just 4% of the total American trade deficit. Japan account for 35%. In the U. S. the Koreans are competing with Japanese not American ,Products. They complain that U. S. protectionism punishes them for Americans' lazy work habits and drug abuse. They say the union rules have ruined U. S. competitiveness.
