ct October first. First of all, your team won't be reporting to Lisa any more. Rebecca will be your new supervisor. Lisa will still be working with your team, but she's not going to be involved with the day-to-day details or schedules of any of your projects. Her focus is going to be on expanding our client base and creating more revenue. The second change is a shift of resources within the team. Let me give an overview and then we'll go into details. First, Carol and John are going to take over the Slavin Project. This will free up Steve to be a co-lead on the Talon Project with Marcia. Robert and Wendy, you'll both remain on your current projects in your current roles. I'm sure you all have a lot of questions, and I'll do my best to try and answer them.

A．She has retired from the company.

B．She will be the new team supervisor.

C．She will have to leave the meeting early.

&8226;Which company (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement (1-8) refer to？

&8226;For each statement (1-8), mark one letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet.

&8226;You will need to use some of these letters more than once.

A

Our management team is dedicated to delivering operational excellence and improved profitability. In the coming year, we will focus our marketing on professional young adults, who represent the high value segment of the market and who - according to independent research - are most likely to adopt our more advanced mobile data products. Customer retention is central to our strategy, and we have been successful in reversing the customer loss of recent years by loyalty and upgrade schemes. A restructuring programme, resulting from changing marketing conditions, has seen our workforce scaled down to 6,100 people.

B

As the only network operator in the country, our marketing is aimed at expanding the size of the market. In the business sector, we have targeted small and medium-sized businesses by offering standardised services, and large customers by offering tailored telecommunications solutions. We have been at the fore- front of introducing new telecommunications technology and services and have recently distributed 150 of our most advanced handsets to customers to assess the likely demand for advanced data services. Last year, the industry recognised our achievement when we won a national award for technological progress.

C

A new management team has driven our improved performance here. It is committed to bringing the business into profitability within three years after reaching break-even point in the next financial year. We are focused on delivering rising levels of customer service and an improvement in the quality and utilisation of our network. Good progress has been made on all these fronts. The cost of acquiring new subscribers has been reduced and new tariffs have been introduced to encourage greater use of the phone in the late evening.

D

We have continued to expand our network in a cost-efficient manner and have consolidated our retail section by combining our four wholly-owned retail businesses into a single operating unit. We expect this to enhance our operational effectiveness and the consistency of our service. Our ambition is to give customers the best retail experience possible. We were, therefore, delighted earlier this year when we won a major European award for customer service. This was particularly pleasing to us as we have always given high priority to customer satisfaction and operational excellence.

E

Here, we are focused on continuously realising cost efficiencies as well as improving the level of customer satisfaction and retention. We have already taken effective measures to reduce customer loss and to strengthen our delivery of customer service. The quality of our network has improved significantly over the past year and an increase in the utilisation of our network is now a priority. The operation of our customer service centre has been outsourced to a call centre specialist and this has led to a substantial increase in the level of service.

This company is still making a financial loss.

听力原文：W: Hello, Bill. You look very sad. What happened？

M: Don't mention it. Our baseball team was beaten by Australia last night.

W: Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I know baseball is a traditional pastime in US. But you should not expect your team to win every time.

M: Sure, I know. But it was a matter of pride for the US baseball team to win ill the 1996 Olympic Games. How I wish they could win this time.

W: I also watched the live broadcast yesterday. It was a close game. They gave their best but luck was not on their side.

M: You are right. How about baseball in China？ Is it also very popular？

W: I think it's getting more and more popular now.

M: Yeah, when I first came to China a few years ago, I couldn't find anything about the game on newspapers or in sport reports on TV.

W: I agree. I am a big baseball fan too, and I often go to the Internet to find out who has won and who has lost.

M: Right, as far as media coverage is concerned, I have seen a lot of changes in recent years in China.

W: Baseball in China is becoming an important sport now. I still remember several years ago when I went to the stadium to watch a game, there were only a few dozen spectators. But now at least thousands of fans show at every game.

M: Watching a baseball game in China now is almost like that in the US.

W: Well, even so, I believe baseball in China is not quite up to the level as other "advanced countries".

M: Given some time for good training, I think Chinese baseball teams will reach world-class.

W: Did the Chinese baseball team go to play at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games？

M: No, unfortunately the Chinese team lost in the Asian Championships, and therefore failed to be qualified for the Athens Games.

W: That's too bad. But I am sure with intensive training in the next few years, the Chinese team no doubt will be qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

听力原文：M: Right, let's get on to the marketing strategy.

W: Well, the marketing team believe that we should launch the product at the International Trade Fair and invite the media to a party on the evening of the 22nd.

M: The idea being that the media will be more favourable to our product if we give them some food and drinks before they write their stories.

W: Exactly! But to be honest, our product should really sell myself.

M: Well, a little marketing and promotion won't hurt. We'll be giving demonstrations at the trade fair, right？

W: Yes, all day long. It'll be a little repetitive, but ensure that everyone has a chance to see it in action.

M: Good. Did you get the budget accepted by the Board of Directors？

W: I did. We've got the full amount we asked for. That means we can go ahead with the newspaper and Internet ads.

M: And the ads in the specialist magazines. I think that those will get us the bulk of our orders.

W: I agree. They're very expensive, but they'll be worth it. I've also placed the order for the brochures. The printer will have them done by the end of next week.

M: That was a good idea of yours to have the brochure prepared even before we got the budget approved. If we hadn't done that, we'd never have been able to get the brochures printed in time.

W: Well, it was clear that we'd get the budget we asked for. The board wasn't going to risk having our product flop because of a lack of publicity, was it？

M: I wasn't entirely sure we'd get the full budget, to be honest. I've seen the board fail to put enough money into marketing and promotion before.

W: Really？ How could they be so short sighted!

M: It's amazing, isn't it？

W: Tell me about it over a drink. It's been a long day!

M: You're right. I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

W: Me, too. We've got everything ready to go. I might even come in late on Monday morning!

(23)

A．To celebrate the successful launch of the new product.

B．In order to create a favourable impression with the media.

C．Because everyone at the company has worked so hard on the project.

D．Because the Board of Directors has given the marketing department a large budget.

听力原文：M: How do you suppose we managed to beat such a good team？
