BEC商务英语听力训练——回听法

发布时间:2020-01-03


BEC听力之所以难,很大程度上因为它语速快而且句子结构、内容都很复杂。基于这种特点,我们需要在解题完成之后,回过头去,再次听录音材料并仔细揣摩考点和错误原因。这个过程就是所谓的“回听训练法”。下面让我们一起来了解一下这种训练方法吧。
如何具体操作回听法?——拒绝“一翻二查三背出”
每次做完听力题后,先对一下答案,小结一下自己的做题表现,但此时不要急着看书后面的录音原文,而是合上书本,在没有任何可视材料辅助的情况下再听录音,此时尤其要注意听之前做错的部分,和感觉较难的单词和表达,并试着结合前后语句所形成的语境,猜测大概含义。只有在反复听还是无法理解的情况下,再打开书本看文字材料。
有的同学听力中一旦听到难词,二话不说翻看后面的原文去找出这个难词,再查文曲星,然后背出来。很多人就是受制于这种“一翻二查三背出”的训练模式,钝化了边听边主动思考的能力,听了半天,听力敏锐度没有提高。建议大家适当给自己施加压力,在回听真题时,强迫自己仅通过听来推断词义,也就是“听力”之外更重“理解”,这样以后听到难词就不怕了。
另外,回听录音时,还要多体会语音效果,比如,当说话人要引出重点时,往往会在重点句之前稍微停顿一下,以吸引听者注意,或者在说道关键单词时加重语气作为强调。习惯了这种语音现象,你的耳朵就会习惯成自然地捕捉到重点信息的线索。
很多同学反映,针对BEC听力的训练素材太少了,真题反复练习无法全面感知这种题型。模拟题做完还是有些云里雾里,该怎么办呢?我们需要更多训练,上面只是提供了一种方法,有效果的才是好方法

Financial Planning: the factors involved in deciding on appropriate pricing strategies

正确答案:Suggested answers: a.In any single market three basic factors determine the boundaries of the pricing decision. The price floor or minimum price is bounded by product cost. The price ceiling or maximum price is bounded by competitive prices for comparable products and ability of customers to pay. Between the floor and ceiling for every product there is an optimum price which is a function of the demand for the product and the cost of supplying the product. The international executive must develop a pricing system and pricing policies that 'address these fundamental factors in each of the national markets in which his company operates. b.In addition to developing a pricing system the system must also be consistent with a number of uniquely international constraints. In addition to the diversity of national markets in all three basic dimensions—cost competition and demand—the international executive is also confronted by conflicting governmental tax policies and claims as well as government controls such as dumping legislation resale price maintenance legislation price ceilings and general review of price levels. Other factors affecting the international pricing decisions are the often surprisingly high international transportation costs middlemen in elongated international channels of distribution and multinational accounts demanding equal price treatment regardless of location. c.Pricing decisions have a major impact on a number of societal groups: consumers customers employees stockholders the public interest and of course the competition. These interest groups are affected by pricing decisions which in turn constrain the international executive. A widespread effect of international business is to lower prices. Within the corporation there are many interest groups and frequently conflicting price objectives. The divisional vice-president is concerned about profitability at the divisional level. Regional executives are concerned about profitability at the country level. d.The direction of international marketing seeks competitive prices in world markets.. The controller and financial vice-president are concerned about profits. The manufacturing vice-president seeks long runs for maximum manufacturing efficiency. The tax manager is concerned about compliance with government transfer pricing legislation and company counsel is concerned about the antitrust implications of international pricing practices. With such a large number of divergent and often conflicting interests combined with the limitations of our existing measures of demand it is premature to expect that we should be able to determine“optimal”prices in international marketing. A more feasible objective for the international executive is to formulate international pricing strategy and policy that will contribute rather than detract from company sales and profit objectives worldwide.
