·For each gap 8-12, mark one letter (A-I)on your Answer Sheet.

·Do not use any letter more than once.

Coffee is worth approximately $50-60bn per annum in terms of world sales. It is a truly international commodity, and today more than 50 countries in the world grow coffee beans. (example) ______I_____. ICO organization helps coffee producers and promotes coffee conumption worldwide.

ICO estimates that world production next year will reach 97.5 million bags.11.3 million bags higher than the current year. (8) ____________. As the largest producing country, Brazil is particularly important in the coffee world. In 1994 Brazil was responsible for 25% of world production, Colombia was next with 13.4%, Indonesia had 7.5%, Mexico 4.7%, Guatemala 3.8% and Ethiopia and Vietnam were equal with 3.4%.

Coffee is a tough crop, and can be grown in areas where it is difficult or impossible to grow other crops. (9) However, disease is always problem for coffee production, as we can see in some parts of South America at the moment.ICO is active in educating farmers about avoiding disease and dealing with problems when they occur.

The distribution chain varies from country to country, explains Pablo Dubois. In most countries the smaller farmers sell their crop to a local trader, who then sells it on to exporters. There are, however, other distribution systems. (10) ____________. Some countries, like Vietnam, have special government marketing organizations for coffee.

Coffee prices often vary greatly from one year to the next. In , for example, there was a large rise in the world price, which was immediately felt by the consumer. Rising prices always result in a drop in sales, which will have a bad effect on those developing countries, which are highly dependent on foreign exchange from coffee exports. (11)____________.

In the opinion of Pablo Dubois, the biggest problem for his organisation is to create greater consumer awareness of the different varieties of coffee and different ways of preparing it. (12)____________. ICO is therefore concentrating its promotional activities on Russia and China. It is also encouraging environmentally friendly coffee production, and last year’s seminar on coffee and the environment created a lot of interest.

B. In some of these countries, this can amount to as much as 50% of all export earning.

C. In North America, most consumers already have above average knowledge of the range available.

D. For example, frost and wind are particularly damaging to coffee crops.

PART THREE

Questions 13-20

Read the article below about stress management, and answer questions 13-20 on the opposite page.

A Lesson In Stress Management

Demands placed on us at work can often lead to considerable worry and discomfort. There are, however, ways of protecting ourselves from the stress we face at work. We interviewed Jane Collard, a consultant in stress management.

1. In Jane Collard’s opinion, stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace. Stress is a highly individual reaction, which varies considerably from person to person, and it is difficult for some employees to avoid it. Indeed, stress is regarded by many as part of the organizational culture of our institutions: it comes with the job. Recent figures indicate that time taken off work because of stress has increased by 500 per cent since the 1950s. Undoubtedly, changes in working conditions have led to greater pressure at work at all levels. With reductions in staffing, workloads for individual employees have increased. In addition, many employees are left worrying about the security of their jobs.

2. On the stress management courses that she runs, Jane Collard tries to make the trainees realise that stress in itself is not harmful. Everyone needs a certain level of stress to enable them to feel motivated and to perform effectively. A complete absence of stress can be as damaging as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression. The difficulties occur when the amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular individual. If this happens, the effects are very obvious and the trainees are taught to recognize the signs. Stress may be expressed physically, for example through headaches and tiredness, or through emotional problems such as depression. A person suffering from stress may also start to behave differently, and can be difficult to deal with.

3. While it may not always be possible to prevent stress, there are a number of ways in which it can be controlled. The first thing that the trainees learn is how to manage their time effectively. This involves, first of all, setting realistic goals for both the short and long term. Once this framework has been established, tasks are then prioritised on a daily basis. The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items should be left, and they should never hesitate to delegate. Everyone is encouraged to look at ways of reducing ‘wasted time ’, for example by grouping similar tasks together or dealing with items immedkiately.

4. Jane feels that one of the most useful features of the course is that it enables trainees to deal with those demands or deadlines that they regard as unreasonable. They are encouraged to avoid being defensive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying ‘no’. They are asked to give reasons only if necessary. The training helps them to foresee difficult situations or unwanted demands, and they learn how to prepare themselves mentally. Everyone is encouraged not to get stuck in negative thought patterns, where stress can feed a circular sense of helplessness. One solution they discuss is to think of a more encouraging alternative for each negative message. They learn, for example, to remind themselves that nothing terrible happens when a demand is refused or a deadline missed. Life goes on.

Questions 13-16

For questions 13-16, choose the best title for each numbered paragraph from the list below.

For each numbered paragraph 1-4, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.

Do not use any letter more than once.

Interlocutor Good morning. My name is John Smith, and this is my colleague, Mary Clinton. And your names are Li Hua and Wang Wei?

Li: Yeah

Wang: Yeah

Interlocutor: Thank you. Now, first of all, we'd like to know something about each of you. Mr. Li, can you tell me about yourself?

Li: My pleasure. As you know, my name is Li Hua. I'm from Jiangsu province. I'm now studying in Suzhou University. And I'm majoring in international trade there.

Interlocutor: Thank you. Mr Li. Now Mr. Wang, can you tell me about your ambitions?

Wang: Yes. I am now a student with Suzhou University majoring in business administration. I hope I can get my MBA and join a world-famous multinational company. And after I have had enough experience, I am going to start a company of my own.

Interlocutor: Thank you, Mr. Wang. And Mr. Li, could you tell me about your ambitions?

Li: A big question for me indeed. I've never thought about it, but I bet I'll work towards a CEO of a big multinational corporation. That's my goal in life. And that's why I am spending so much time on English, business English in particular.

Interlocutor: Mr. Li, you said you're spending a lot of time on business English. Do you think business English is difficult to learn?

Wang: Not really. You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration. So I have always found business English very interesting.

篇8：BEC商务英语中级阅读的材料

As more people work longer hours in the office, they have less time to hit the gym for some desperately needed exercise. Whole days spent facing a computer and looming deadlines can leave you with backaches, neckaches, headaches, and just about any other kind of ache imaginable. Stress accumulates quietly, boiling over at the worst moment when you didn't even realize it was there. Below are some ways to help prevent this from happening by stretching and relaxing your body during the lunch hour. You don't even have to get out of your chair.

随着越来越多的人工作时间延长，他们去健身房进行必须的锻炼的时间也越来越少。整日整日的对着电脑和高强度的工作可能会导致背痛，头痛，和各种各样可能的不适。压力悄悄累积到一定程度，可能在你甚至还未曾意识到的糟糕时刻就会爆发出来。下面是一些通过伸展和放松身体来避免上述情况发生的办法。你在午间休息期间甚至不用离开座位就可以进行：

1. Hang your head, holding the sides of your chair with your hands, and try to lift the chair up.

头部下垂，双手握住椅子两侧，试着把椅子往上举。

2. At the same time, slightly hunch your torso, using the muscles of your lower belly to support you.

与此同时，身体稍微前倾，下腹肌肉用力支撑上述动作。

3. Keep the pose for three-five seconds, breathing slowly throughout. Repeat for five times.

慢慢呼吸，保持3-5秒，重复做五组。

4. Sit in your chair with your back tight against the chair back.

后背紧贴椅背。

5. Put one foot on the chair and clasp your knee with two hands. Breathe in.

一只脚在椅子上，双手抱住膝盖，吸气。

6. Breathe out and make your knee touch your chest. Hold this position for five seconds.

呼气，同时使膝盖轻触脸颊，保持五秒。

7. Change to the other foot. Perform the stretch for each leg five times.

双腿交替，各做五组。

篇9：BEC商务英语中级阅读技巧

BEC商务英语中级阅读共五种题型：搭配题、句子填空题、阅读理解题、完形填空题、改错题，考试时间为60分钟，第一部分是四个短文，其他部分各有一篇较长的正文，均摘选自报纸、商业杂志、商务信件、图书、广告、及商品手册等，都与日常工作相关。用以测试考生各种阅读技能。

1. 搭配题

重在考查考生寻找语篇大意和具体信息的能力。

技巧：先快速阅读七个句子，找出每句关键词。七个句子一般要比四个文本要简单，更容易理解，所以建议先读懂七个句子。

仔细阅读四个文本，看有无和七个句子中关键词意思一直的词。切记文本中出现的多是同义或近义的表达，很少出现和前面七个句子中完全一样的单词。如果发现有一样的表达，请谨慎选择，因为很可能是迷惑考生的。

切记：长得像得有可能是答案，长得一样的多数情况不是答案。

例如，句子中“utlise its current expertise”和文本中“exploit existing skills”相对应。句子中“Move into a more promising market”和文本中“enter a different market”相对应。

每个文本至少使用一次。

2. 句子填空题

重在考查考生语篇整体意义的理解能力，以及根据语篇逻辑关系有条理地对内容进行组织衔接的能力。

技巧：瞻前顾后，把空前后的句子都看一遍，特别要注意上下文中的连接词、指示词和代词。看在语义和逻辑上是否吻合。

最后没有填上的空，建议采用试错法，一个一个句子的试，凭自己的语感猜测答案。

3. 阅读理解题

重在考查考生寻找语篇大意和具体信息的能力。

这是我们中国学生最擅长的题，从中学到大学我们都练过，相信你们都已掌握了秘诀，这里不在赘述。

4. 完形填空题

重在考查近义词辩析，搭配，惯用法等。

技巧：首句一般都不留空，所以一定要仔细看首句，首句对了解文章主题和大意有帮助。

瞻前顾后，把空前后都看一遍，从词义辩析，词语搭配，上下文语境，习惯用法等方面入手，选择答案。有时所需填空单词还会在后面出现。

复核全文，对答案进行进一步核查。

5. 改错题

主要考查考生语法能力，包括时态、语态、虚拟语气，一致，非谓语动词用法，从句，限定词，代词，介词等。

技巧：考生只要把多余的单词挑出来就行。多余的单词经常是虚词，所以做题时把注意力集中在冠词、介词、连词、代词、副词等上面。

根据以往的经验，每到题大概有两、三行是对的。所以不要认为每行都有多余的单词，实在找不出来，就填CORRECT。

其他注意事项：

一定要抓紧时间答题，建议每部分用10分钟答题。把出现在文章中的答案部分用下划线标示出来，以便核对时节省时间。难题可以留在后面做，千万不要空着，实在不行就猜。
