26、owing advantages to exhibitors. The first advantage is concentration. The most effective method to sell or to promote a product is face-to-face. A good trade fair combines the advantages of personal selling and advertising. It brings together large numbers of buyers in one place, and provides the op

27、portunity to present a sales message face-to-face, and to answer questions. The second advantage is product presentation. Trade fairs are often the most practical way for companies to actually show buyers their products, which can be important for closing a sale. The third one is chances of assessin

28、g buyers reaction. Trade fairs offer the opportunity for immediate “feed-back“ from buyers or other members of the trade. The exhibitors can often find out immediately if his product is right for the market, or how it should be adapted to make it right. The next advantage is audience interest. Busin

29、essmen visit trade fairs because they are interested in seeing what is on offer. They tend to be more receptive to approaches from prospective new suppliers than they often are when they are sitting in their offices, pressed for time. Reaching the unknowns is another advantage of a trade fair. An im

30、portant advantage of a trade fair is that they enable an exhibitor to meet people whom it would otherwise be difficult to meet. There is also the advantage of viewing the competition. Major trade fairs count among their exhibitors most of the important companies in their respective fields. Therefore

31、, one of the advantages of attending such fairs is being able to study the products and some of the marketing techniques of the companies which are already successful in the market. The last advantage is group support. Usually, companies new to exporting, or to a particular export market, often feel

32、 more secure as part of a group of companies or trade associations than they would venturing into strange territory on their own. Because trade fairs, along with trade missions, are the primary means governments have for sponsoring group marketing activity, many companies find them a particularly at

33、tractive way to begin selling overseas. 15 【正确答案】 ADVERTISING 16 【正确答案】 PRODUCTS 17 【正确答案】 IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK 18 【正确答案】 INTEREST 19 【正确答案】 PEOPLE/CLIENTS 20 【正确答案】 MARKETING TECHNIQUES 四、 PART FOUR 21 【听力原文】 Rupert Murdoch had just received the phone call that would promote him to the top position.

34、Regulators had approved his purchase of a controlling share in Direct TVs satellite service. Our reporter Grace Graham interviewed the News Corp. chairman in his Los Angeles office on Dec. 19, just hours before the official announcement. How does it feel to finally get the deal? Im very happy, of co

35、urse, but it would have been better if it were a few years ago, otherwise cable wouldnt have made those investments and would have been more vulnerable. How are you going to win customers away from cable? To a certain extent, were just going to give better service cable and satellite both have had r

36、eputations for service and if we want to get customers, wed better have someone on the phone in 30 seconds rather than 20 minutes. And we will be investing a lot in research and development to get the most advanced technology for our set-top boxes and to get a lot of more interactivity. Will you be

37、giving set-top boxes for free? Well, Charlie Ergen, Echo Star Communications Corp. Chairman, is already giving away some of the boxes. We will be matching him. But if we are manufacturing boxes with more features than he is giving, then we will charge something. But we will be subsidizing to the ext

38、ent that he does. Do you intend to undercut cables prices to start a price war? We are not going into a price war with anyone. But overall, digital satellite today is getting about $54 a month per customer, and cable is averaging about $66 at the moment. People want digital offerings, because cable

39、is just too expensive. What about broadband? Cable offers it; satellite cant. I am inclined to think that broadband will be a commodity. I am not sure about that, but its certainly physically possible to get first-class broadband service by satellite. People genuinely seem to fear you. Why is that?

40、Ah, “the crazy people who will change the world.“ This company has always been a stimulus for change Fox News is a stimulus for change, BSkyB was. Someone once told me that there were two crazy people in the media business Ted Turner and me and now there is only one. And thats not a bad thing to kee

41、p people guessing. Still, in Britain, you forced MTV to lower its rates for your BskyB service. Will you force US programmers to lower their rates to get carried on Direct, TV? I hope to have a good relation and compromise. But they want to give us more and more channels and charge us for them. So i

42、f they want us to carry one of their channels, they have to promise it will get an audience. You have said you would use sports as a battering ram. Will Fox TV or the Fox Sports Network bid against ESPN for Sunday Night NFL football when it comes up in 2005? It is too early to say. I would be happy

43、to leave things as they are, but the NFL may try to do something with cable to expand their revenues. To try to take on ESPN would be too expensive. I am not committing myself, but at current prices we are to keep what we have. Your sons, Lachlan and James, are both in top jobs. Who will succeed you? They will both learn and develop. And my daughter may be coming back into the company. But the board will decide. I wont be around. Ill probably drop dead on the job. 21 【正确答案】 B 22 【正确答案】 A 23 【正确答案】 B 24 【正确答案】 A 25 【正确答案】 C 26 【正确答案】 A 27 【正确答案】 C 28 【正确答案】 C
