17、g potential exporters. As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes using up to three words or a number. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You now have 45 seconds to read through the questions. pause Now listen, and complete the notes. pause Man: Good morning, ladies an

18、d gentlemen. Im honoured to have this opportunity to talk to you. My name is Tony Brown, and Im Chief Executive of the Marketing Research. Many firms fail because when they begin exporting they have not researched the target markets or developed ah international marketing plan. To be successful, a f

19、irm must clearly define goals, objectives and potential problems. Secondly, it must develop a definitive plan to accomplish its objective, regardless of the problems involved. Unless the firm is fortunate enough to possess a staff with considerable expertise, it may not be able to take this Grucial

20、first step without qualified outside guidance. Often top management is not committed enough to overcome the initial difficulties and financial requirements of exporting. It can often take more time and effort to establish a firm in a foreign market than in the domestic one. Although the early delays

21、 and costs involved in exporting may seem difficult to justify when compared to establish domestic trade, the exporter should take a more objective view of this process and carefully monitor international marketing efforts through these early difficulties. If a good foundation is laid for export bus

22、inesses, the benefits derived should eventually outweigh the investment. Another problem area is in the selection of the foreign distributor. The complications involved in overseas communications and transportation require international distributors to act with greater independence than their domest

23、ic counterparts. Also, since a new exporters trademarks and reputation are usually unknown in the foreign market, foreign customers may buy on the strength of the distributing agents reputation. A firm should therefore conduct a thorough evaluation of the distributors facilities, the personnel handl

24、ing its account, and the management methods employed. Another common difficulty for the new exporter is the neglect of the export market once the domestic one booms: too many companies only concentrate on exporting when there is a recession. Others may refuse to modify products to meet the regulatio

25、ns of cultural preferences of other countries. Local safety regulations cannot be ignored by exporters. If necessary modifications are not made at the factory, the distributor must make them, usually at a greater cost and probably not as satisfactorily. It should also be noted that the resulting sma

26、ller profit margin makes the account less attractive. If exporters expect distributing agents to actively promote their accounts, they must be trained, and their performance continually monitored. This requires a company marketing executive to be located permanently in the distributors geographical

27、region. It is therefore advisable for new exporters to concentrate their efforts in a few geographical areas until there is sufficient business to support a company representative. The distributor should also be treated on an equal basis with domestic counterparts. For example, special discount offe

28、rs, sales incentive programmes and special credit terms should be available. Considering a joint-venture or licensing agreement is another option for new exporters. However, many companies still dismiss international marketing as unviable. There are a number of reasons for this. There may be import

29、restrictions in the target market, the company may lack sufficient financial resources, or its product line may be too limited. Yet, many products that can compete on a national basis can be successful in the majority of world markets. In general, all that is needed for success is flexibility in usi

30、ng the proper combinations of marketing techniques. pause Now listen to the recording again. pause That is the end of Part One. You now have 20 seconds to check your answers. pause 1 【正确答案】 DEFINE GOALS 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，一个公司要取得成功，就必须明确自己的目标，思考面临的潜在困难。 2 【正确答案】 QUALIFIED OUTSIDE GUIDANCE 【试题解析】 从录音原文中

31、可知，如果一个公司没有专业的人员，也没有合格的外部指导，那么它不可能迈出其成功的第一步。 3 【正确答案】 FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，通常情况下，高层管理者没有负起足够的责任去摆脱出口最初面临的 困境，克服资金需求方面的困难。 4 【正确答案】 FOREIGN MARKET 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知。通常情况下，在国外建立公司比在国内建立公司需要花费更多的时间和精力。 5 【正确答案】 EXPORT BUSINESSES 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，如果出口企业奠定了良好的基础，最终获得的收益将大于最初的投入。 6 【正确答案】 I

32、NTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTORS 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，海外通信和交通方面所面临的困难使得国际销售商比 国内销售商拥有更大的独立性。 7 【正确答案】 DISTRIBUTING AGENTS REPUTATION 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，在圈外市场，一个新的出口公司的商标通常不为人熟知，名气不大，所以外国的消费者可能依靠经销商的知名度来购买产品。 8 【正确答案】 EXPORT MARKET 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，新出口商所面临的另一个普遍的问题是在国内市场繁荣的时候容易忽视出口市场，也就是国际市场。 9 【正确答案】 CULTURAL PREFE

33、RENCES 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，其他出口公司不愿意为了迎合其他国家的文化偏好而去改进其产品。 10 【正确答案】 (A)MARKETING EXECUTIVE 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，这就需要一家公司在销售商所在地区永久配备一名营销经理。 11 【正确答案】 EQUALLY 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，海外的经销商应得到和国内经销商同等的待遇，就是受到同样的重视。 12 【正确答案】 FLEXIBILITY 【试题解析】 从录音原文中可知，总的来说，成功所需要的是 能够灵活运用营销技巧。 二、 PART TWO 12 【听力原文】 You will hear five

34、 different people talking about a meeting they have just attended. For each extract there are two tasks. Look at Task One. For each question, 13 17, choose the reason for attending the meeting from the list A H. Now look at Task Two. For each question , 18-22, choose the way that each person reacted

35、 to the meeting from the list A H. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You have 30 seconds to read the two lists. pause Now listen, and do the two tasks. pause Man; The lecture is so inspiring. Personally, I regard that it is important to create a list of career options you think you

36、d really enjoy, not just the ones you think you can do. Dont limit your thinking at this stage If you really want to be a polar explorer, or start your own jewellery business, put them on the list. Then research how others changed into these careers. Dont claim to have degrees or experience you dont

37、. Remember that many organisations check references. Any inconsistencies could lead to an employer rescinding a Job offer. Woman:Well, jobseekers who ask, “What can I do with my degree /experience?“ haves it backwards. A good job search should start with you, not your CV. Are you an idea person? Do

38、you have the gift of the gab? Are you good at explaining things to others? Most of us dont think of ourselves astalented but look closer, and youll find something to guide you towards the sort of jobs youll most enjoy. Follow up an interview with a brief courtesy message(an email will do)a few days

39、later. Not many applicants bother with this, and it will keep you at the front of an interviewers mind. It doesnt take more than 15 minutes to knock out a well-crafted thank-you letter. Man: Is there crossover between the two fields? If so, use these lists to help identify the types of jobs and indu

40、stries you are most suited for. Get to know yourself and focus on your strengths. What makes you come alive? Ask yourself what really motivates you? Understand your unique skills, abilities and interests. Dress appropriately for the job you want. Presentation can make the difference in whether or no

41、t you are hired or even the salary you are offered. Dress at least as well as you would when actually turning up to do the job preferably better. If you feel you look good, you will come across as confident and relaxed. Woman: Well, those suggestions are very worthy. Anyway, talking to recruiters in

42、 your sector is to establish what they consider to be an above-average CV. If you can afford it, consider asking a CV-writing agency to help you, but only one that comes recommended by someone in your network. As always, theres a bell curve of skill and you can spend a lot of money to very little ef

43、fect if you hire the wrong wordsmith, especially when you arent 100% certain who they are. The speaker says that he once assumed the girl who greeted him and asked if he wanted a coffee was a secretary but when she sat down and started the interview he realised she was the boss. It taught me a lot.

44、Man: Put yourself in the shoes of each recruiter and make sure youve emphasised the bits theyll be most interested in. Dont use jargon they wont understand and if your former employers arent well-known, explain briefly the nature of each, before detailing what you did there. Consider a video CV if y

45、ou are in a technical field, but be careful, its easy to do this very badly. Produce a 30-second, a 90-second and a five-minute piece for your channel. Make sure that channel on YouTube or Vimeo reflects the professional image you are seeking to cast and track viewing states very closely to assess i

46、f your approach is working. Take a phone in advance to confirm time, place and directions if needed. Its also worth scouting out the location in advance to check parking, public transport, cafes where you can loiter and so on. If an act of God makes you late, phone and offer to reschedule, but dont

47、expect to be taken as seriously as the candidate who has the same experience as you who showed up on time. pause Now listen to the recording again. pause That is the end of Part Two. pause 13 【正确答案】 A 14 【正确答案】 D 15 【正确答案】 C 16 【正确答案】 H 17 【正确答案】 B 18 【正确答案】 C 19 【正确答案】 F 20 【正确答案】 E 21 【正确答案】 B 22

48、【正确答案】 A 三、 PART THREE 22 【听力原文】 You will hear one of the ongoing series of interviews with influential executives in the embedded Linux industry Jim Ready. For each question, 23 30, mark one letter(A , B or C)for the correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You now have 4

49、5 seconds to read through the questions. pause Now listen, and mark A, B or C. pause Woman: Hello, Carole Gracian here, thanks for hearing Big Thinker on air. My guest today is embedded pioneer and MontaVista CEO Jim Ready. Mr. Ready, how do you feel a-bout having the combination of Wind River plus Red Hat as a competitor? Man: Winds agreement to the extent to which it has happened Ill take. But, its a distr
