       Following the companys poor annual results in November, the share price plunged and hassince remained around 200p. Analysts now believe that the company is seriously undervaluedby the stock market. The companys biggest problems were in Germany and France last yearwhere supply outstripped demand, leading to a 20 million loss for the year. However, thecompany has recently appointed a new chairman who has a first-rate track record of revivingfailing companies. It is believed that he will be successful in turning round the companysfortunes.
    Analysts are impressed with the companys recent performance. In the last six months, it hasmanaged to increase prices by 3 per cent without adversely affecting sales. In such a low-margin, high-sales sector, this ought to translate directly into increased profits. The companysrecent sale of its packaging division has eliminated all its debts. Shares have risen in the pastmonth from 80p to 100p. Despite these promising signs, it must be remembered that thecompany is trading in an extremely volatile market.
    For some weeks, there has been widespread expectation that the company will announce thesale of its troubled newspaper-and-magazine distribution arm. Speculation came to an endwhen this was firmly ruled out as a possibility at the annual general meeting last week. Profitsfrom this division were down from 13 million to 8 million. However, this drop was morethan offset by an improvement in the companys retail division, which has taken the innovativestep of opening stores in places such as hospitals and colleges. Profits in this division rose fromThe company has had steady growth prospects since it opened four more upmarket hotels andseveral health and fitness clubs. This move has come at a time when the market is particularlybuoyant. There were rnmours that the company might become the subject of a takeover bid byone of the large American corporations. However, this has not materialised, and it now seemsunlikely that any such bids will be made in the immediate future.

					剑桥商务英语系列:剑桥BEC真题集5(BEC高级)(附听力CD光盘1张及答案)   深度解析与实战演练,助您征服BEC高级  本书是“新剑桥商务英语系列”的最新力作,专注于为准备参加剑桥商务英语高级(BEC Vantage)考试的考生提供最全面、最贴近实战的备考材料。 本真题集精选了多套官方授权的、具有代表性的BEC高级模拟试题,旨在通过高仿真的考试环境和细致的解析,帮助考生精准把握考试结构、评分标准及出题趋势。  本册真题集不仅收录了完整的四部分试卷(阅读与写作、听力、口语),还特别附赠一张高清音质的听力CD光盘,确保考生能够进行最真实的听力模仿训练。此外,本书提供详尽的参考答案与解析,是考生自我评估、查漏补缺的必备工具书。  ---   第一部分:全真模拟试卷与考试环境重现  本书严格按照剑桥大学考试委员会最新发布的BEC高级考试大纲(包括2018年及之后可能进行的微调)设计了多套完整的模拟试卷。每套试卷都精确还原了考试的时间分配、题型分布及难度梯度,让考生在熟悉考试流程的同时,有效管理时间。  1. 阅读与写作(Reading and Writing)  阅读部分 涵盖了商务场景中的邮件、报告、新闻摘要、图表分析等多种文体。试题设计注重考察考生对细节的捕捉能力、对篇章主旨的理解能力、对特定信息点的定位能力,以及对词汇在特定语境下意义的准确把握。我们特别关注了高级阅读中常考的推断题和同义替换的考察点,确保考生能应对复杂长难句的挑战。  写作部分 严格遵循BEC高级对商务写作的硬性要求。本真题集包含了信函/备忘录、报告、提议书三大核心文体。     信函/备忘录 (Letter/Memo): 侧重于清晰、准确、有说服力的信息传达,考察考生在正式与半正式语境下的语言得体性。    报告 (Report): 考察组织结构、逻辑连贯性,以及使用恰当的商务术语和客观的陈述方式的能力。    提议书 (Proposal): 尤其注重解决问题的能力和前瞻性思维的表达。  我们为每篇范文都提供了结构分解、要点梳理和高级句型替换建议,帮助考生从“能写”提升到“写得漂亮”。  2. 听力部分(Listening)  附赠的CD收录了全部听力材料,录音语速、口音(英式为主,兼顾国际商务环境所需)均与真实考试保持一致。听力内容覆盖了会议记录、商务电话、访谈、简报等典型场景。  本真题集着重强化了对以下关键技巧的训练:     预测能力: 如何在听力开始前,通过阅读题目快速建立对谈话内容的预期。    笔记记录: 针对Section 3(多选题)和Section 4(填空题)的快速捕捉和准确记录能力。    干扰项识别: 识别录音中常见的“转折词”(however, but, although)以及“修正语”(I mean, actually)所引导的真正答案。  ---   第二部分:精炼的答案解析与语言提升模块  本书最大的特色在于其详尽且具有教学意义的解析部分,这远超一般真题集的“选择对勾”式解答。  1. 逐题精讲:     阅读解析: 针对每一个单选题,我们不仅给出了正确选项的理由,更重要的是,详细解释了错误选项为什么是错的,特别是对于那些设置了“合理干扰项”的题目,会剖析其干扰的逻辑陷阱。对于篇章理解题,我们标示出原文中直接或间接支持答案的关键定位句。    写作范例深度剖析: 我们的范文解析部分分为“评分标准对应分析”和“语言亮点提炼”两部分。前者帮助考生理解如何在高分范文中体现出语法准确性、词汇广度、任务完成度和篇章连贯性;后者则提炼出可立即应用于考生自己写作中的高阶短语、连接词和句式结构。  2. 核心词汇与搭配(Vocabulary & Collocations):  每套试卷的解析部分后,我们都专门梳理了在当套试题中出现的高频商务词汇和惯用搭配。这些词汇不仅仅是孤立的单词,而是以商务语境下的“词块”(chunks)形式呈现。例如,学习“implement a strategy”(执行一项战略),而非仅仅学习“implement”。这对于提高BEC阅读的流畅度和写作的“地道性”至关重要。  3. 语法结构聚焦(Grammar Focus):  针对写作部分容易失分的高级语法点,如虚拟语气在建议中的应用、非谓语动词的高效使用、从句的灵活嵌入等,我们设置了“语法回顾”专栏,将真题中体现的语法点提炼出来,提供简明扼要的复习要点。  ---   第三部分:口语模块的实战指导  口语是许多考生感到挑战性最高的部分。本真题集针对BEC高级口语考试的独特结构(Part 1: 个人介绍与日常商务话题;Part 2: 观点陈述与论证;Part 3: 深入讨论与互动)提供了专门的策略指导。  1. 话题预测与扩展:  基于历年真题的分析,我们总结了BEC高级口语中最常出现的十大主题(如:市场营销、人力资源、公司文化、全球化等)。针对每个主题,提供了流利度和复杂性兼顾的参考答案。  2. 互动技巧训练:  Part 3 的成功关键在于有效的互动。本书详细指导考生如何使用“提出异议”、“表示同意但保留意见”、“寻求澄清”等高级对话技巧,确保考生在与考官的对话中能展现出自然、灵活的商务交流能力,而非简单的背诵式回答。  ---   目标读者与使用建议  目标读者:     已掌握基础英语技能,目标达到雅思7分或同等水平的职场人士。    希望在职业发展中获取权威国际商务英语认证的在职人员或高等院校学生。    所有计划参加剑桥BEC高级考试的考生。  使用建议:  建议考生首先完整做一套模拟题,严格计时,模拟真实考试环境。随后,对照答案解析部分,重点分析自己的失分点,尤其是写作和口语部分。切记,解析的价值远高于题目本身。 考生应将解析中的亮点表达和核心词汇摘录下来,形成自己的“高分语料库”,并反复在口语和写作练习中加以运用,实现从“题海战术”到“精准突破”的转变。  通过系统地使用《剑桥BEC真题集5》,您将能建立起对BEC高级考试的绝对信心,并显著提升您的商务英语综合应用能力。
