BEC真题阅读part4综合总结.doc

BEC中级reading part4选词填空题巧解阅读第四部分应试技巧完形填空题（一）题型介绍BEC Vantage阅读第四部分不仅是考查对文章的理解，还考查语法、词汇和结构，如词的搭配、固定短语等。考生首先必须阅读文章，了解文章的大意，在这个基础上再根据上下文确定最佳选择。具体而言，这部分主要考查考生以下三个方面：一是语法知识，主要包括时态、语态、虚拟语气、从句、强调句、倒装句等二是词汇，包括近义词、形近词、介词搭配、形容词搭配、动词搭配、名词搭配等；三是考生对语篇的理解和推理能力。（二）解题技巧以下是这部分常见解题技巧：1排除无关选项：把握文章的主题，将一些看上去和文章主题毫不相关的选项排除在正确答案之外。2.把握文章结构：充分利用文章结构来做出选择。譬如总分结构，总述是分述的总结和概括，而分述又是对总述的展开。当一些未知填空出现在总述中时，解出这些填空的相关已知线索很可能出现在与其对应的分述部分。3.积累商务词汇：4.从文章衔接入手：如果填空题中需填人的词为名词，还需要确定其单数或复数形式。要特别注意填空题后面的代词，每个代词都会表明它所代表的名词或名词短语。因此，找到填空题后面的代词，对确定所要填入的名词有很大帮助。如果是动词，也应确定其相应的形式，如是否用第三人称单数等。（三）答题步骤考生可按以下步骤做题：1.把握文章主旨：细读文章首句。与其他阅读部分不同，完形填空的第一句一般不留空白（或者空白处是例子，答案已给），是完整的一句，全文信息从此开始，通过该句预测文章主旨。然后，快速浏览全文，阅读时要一气呵成，尽管有空格、生词或不明白之处，仍要快速读下去；注意找出关键词、核心词，划出承上启下的词组，以便于抓住文章主旨和线索，形成思路。2.灵活选择答案：注意从上下文及其逻辑关系人手寻找最佳选项。先读所填词的句子及其上下文。如果一句中有两处空白，在做题时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。如果答案一时难以确定，可从语法结构、词语搭配、上下文语境、习惯用法、词义辨析等方面，对选项逐一分析试填，从而排除干扰项，判定最佳选项。3.速读填好的短文：考生在检查已填好的文章时应注意上下文的一致性，即时态语态的一致，代词、连词、单复数的一致；注意语法、惯用法、习惯搭配，看是否符合上下文的逻辑；同时也应注意段与段之间、句与句之间的衔接是否自然、连贯。常考点：1、 固定搭配，尤其是动词固定搭配2、 动词加副词性小品词搭配 3、 词的辨析4、 选在商务英语中经常考察的词，不要选自己不认识的词，不要想得太复杂5、 常考词1）Base basisOn the basis ofbe based oncustomer basemanufacture baseskill baseuse base其他情况使用一样，都是“基础”的意思2） convince sb of sththat 使某人相信 confirm 证实，加强，批准3） network 互联网、营业网点 web 网、一般与互联网技术有关 grid 烤肉架、电网、排水管4） carry out=put sth into practiceeffect执行5） objective 目标（选） purpose 具体一件事的目的（一般不选）6） 运营 runoperatego Do business with sb 与某人做生意7） cope with sth=deal with sth successfully8） vacancy职位空缺，一般只出现在招聘中departure 飞机起飞，离开absence缺席9） access to 进入，权利approach 着手处理，方法，途径，接近10） driving force驱动力11） go through 仔细检查审核、完成、看完、用完、遭受经历、穿过、练习、讨论12） innovation=revolution 13） the procedure 步骤of the process程序 of the transaction交易、处理 这三个词范围由小到大14） involve常考词，一般就选这个词15） term 合同条款（书面用语），比item（一条、一件）笼统一般选term,另外 in terms on 从什么角度来看in terms of 就而言, 从方面说来16） work out 计算出、解决问题 problems17） pattern方式模式，为常考词，一般选这个词18） issue,发布信息，开发票，出版发行。The issuing of order place an order 下订单19） grant 准许，答应，给予，承认n补助金 take sthsb for granted20） fulfill 履行，迎合，满足the expectation of the manager21） exercise 在商务英语中常指业务22） in question23） avenue大街；方法途径=approach24） option选择 selection 已经选择好了25） do well 进展地非常好，做得很好 be well 身体健康人邮第二辑真题TEST 1 READING PART 4 Planning In any planning system, from the simplest budgeting to the most complex corporate planning, there is an annual process. This is partly due to the fact that firms (19) carry out their accounting on a yearly (20)basis, but also because similar (21)patterns often occur in the market. Usually, the larger the firm, the longer the planning takes. But typically, planning for next year may start nine months or more in advance, with various stages of evaluation leading to (22 )aprove of the complete plan three months before the start of the year. Planning continues, however, throughout the year, since managers (23) review progress against targets, while looking forward to the next year. What is happening now will (24) influence the objectives and plans for the future. In todays business climate, as markets constantly change and become more difficult to (25 predict, some analysts believe that long-term planning is pointless. In some markets they may be right, as long as companies can build the sort of flexibility into their (26)operations which allows them to (27)respond.to any sudden changes. Most firms, however, need to plan more than one year ahead in order to (28)develop their long-term goals. This may reflect the time it takes to commission and build a new production plant, or, in marketing (29)terms (in market terms 用市场术语来说), it may be a question of how long it takes to research and launch a range of new products, and reach a certain (30) position in the market.( position in the market，市场上的地位) If, for example, it is going to take five years for a particular airline to become the (31)preferred choice amongst business travellers on certain routes, the airline must plan for the various (32)steps involved. Every one-year plan(eg: their three-year plan (n), therefore, must be (33) draw up in relation to longer-term plans(draw up plans),and it should contain die stages that are necessary to achieve the final goals. 人邮第二辑真题TEST 2 READING PART 4Managing upwards(打理同上司的关系)Managing a career on the way up is quite different from managing one at the top of an organisation. Individuals on the way up have to build relationships with the people they (19) report to.They usually have to (20) deal with subordinates(子公司，下属，下级) in addition to people at the same level as themselves. The most senior staff only have those under them to relate to. This book (21) promotes the idea that（ 提倡/推进.的思想（v） all working relationships, including the relationship with ones boss, can and should be managed.You do not have to be (22) smarter than your manager in order to manage the relationship. Nor do you have to be better than your manager in any (23) respect .Your manager may well be your career (24) adviser and guide: he or she may have taught you almost everything you know about your(25) line of business - and may continue to teach you more. You may be planning to remain under his or her guidance in the future. None of these (26) factorsshould alter your relationship with your manager or (27) put you off managing upwards. （Put sb off (doing) sth使某人失去兴趣/泄气 (v) Put sb off使某人失去兴趣(v)）I use this phrase to (28) refer to the management of ones boss because, for many people on the way up, it is the first relationship they have to get right.You can, of course, get on at work just by (29) reacting positively to your manager, but that is not likely to be the most successful way to (30) run your working life. An active policy of managing upwards will make you more successful and, at the same time, make the business of going to work more enjoyable. It can also be a way to show (31) appreciation to your manager for the efforts he or she has made on your (32) behalf Finally, managing upwards will make it easier for your manager to manage you, leaving him or her more time for other (33) roles and tasks.人邮第二辑真题TEST 3 READING PART 4 Human Resources Policy (Human Resource Policy，人力资源政策。主要是讲的CBA银行的人力资源政策)CBA Bank was the largest financial institution to sign the employers People Come First （Come first名列第一/最早来/首先要考虑到的(v) People come first员工优先（v）code of practice（实施规程/业务守则） in the early 1990s. In doing so, it committed itself to the highest (0) standards in human resources practices such as the communication of company(19).objective. to employees, the setting of individual training and personal (20) development plans, and the holding of regular performance (21) reviews(审核) for all staff. Like other organisations, CBA is replacing the traditional hierarchy（等级制公司（hierarchy） with a flatter organisational structure（扁平化的组织结构） which gives employees more broadly defined（广义定义的(a)） (22) roles.within the company. The change is offering employees greater opportunities for work in cross-disciplinary （交叉学科的，跨学科的 (a)）project teams. As a result, interpersonal (23) .skills are extremely important. The policy seems to be working. There is a great deal of goodwill among employees, who (24).respect the fact that customer satisfaction is the organisations chief aim. CBA claims to pursue this aim for its own (25) sake（For ones sake= for the sake of为了；为了的利益(adv)）, rather than as a means of earning profits for shareholders. An ability to relate to all kinds of people is the most important attribute CBA looks for in (26).potential .recruits. Graduates are (27).taken on . for a two-year period and exposed to all (28).areas of retail financial services. By the end of this training period, they will have taken their Institute of Banking examination and, if they have (29).met their performance targets, they will have (30) secured a job at the bank. On the whole, we are not looking for people straight out of college, says human resources manager Maiy Kemp. We would prefer that they had (31) gained .some experience of life and had taken a year out between school and college to travel or do some kind of work. The company has recently introduced a new policy on pay, and it is now (32).linked to performance through bonus schemes, with the objective being to (33) reward employees for their achievements and effort. 人邮第二辑真题TEST 4 READING PART 4Business MeetingsIt is important that ideas and suggestions tabled at formal meetings are voiced at the (0)appropriate time. This is achieved by keeping to the (19) order shown on the agenda(遵循议程的顺序(v). For example, there is no (20) point in discussing ideas to do with item six on the agenda when item two has not yet been (21) dealt with Such deviations from the agenda may (22) arise in confusion among the people at the meeting; they may also (23) lose concentration if they see something as irrelevant.To make certain that the meeting proceeds in an orderly fashion, it is therefore useful to (24) establish some ground rules. First, everyone will need to understand that they must (25)restrict their comments to the topic under discussion. The Chair can then encourage one person to speak at a (26)time(at a time 每次/一次;在某时（at times）(adv) , so that any ideas offered can be discussed and (27) noted. Once that person has finished, someone else can put (28) forward their ideas and so on. If this procedure is adopted, the participants will be able to follow the various issues in a consistent manner; which will help with the decision-making (29)process later on. It will also (30) ensure that the quiet people at meetings get a chance to (31) have their say(have ones say发表意见；有发言权 (v), rather than just their more outspoken colleagues. In (32) reality , it is often the quiet people at meetingswho generate the best ideas, because they are in the (33) habit of thinking before they speak第3辑阅读【TEXT 1】part 4Promise of Jobs with Telephone Banking Centre An 80-million telephone banking centre is to open in Scotland, with the creation of about 500 new jobs. Grand Union Group, which owns the Dundee and Western Bank, said today it hopes to have the (19)facility fully operational by next August. It will be based at the new Caledonian Industrial Estate currently being built near Edinburgh. The centre is being (20) founded through a joint partnership(合伙经营) (21) involving global telecommunications firm Concept and customer care specialists Businesslink. Sara Grimaldi, chief executive of the Dundee and Western Bank, said, Im delighted we will be working in (22) collaboration with （与.合作）Concept and Businesslink and Im confident we will (23) benefit from their considerable experience. The new centre will make (24) extensive use of（广泛采用 (v)） innovative business procedures which will (25) contribution to an improved service and experience for our valued customers. Callum Martin, president of global accounts for Grand Union Group, added that he was very pleased his company will play a key role in such an important development employing state-of- the-art technology. The local council said new jobs were (26) evidence of the efforts made to (27) attract investment to the region. Council leader Hugh MacArthur said, Its good news for Grand Union, but it will also (28) enable us to promote Edinburgh to companies considering a (29) relocation to Scotland. The council will continue to work hard to ensure that todays (30) announcement is just the latest (31) step in our attempt to create high quality jobs in the area. Scotland has become a European leader in terms of telephone banking centres and has (32) earned itself an excellent reputation. The call centre sector as a whole employs more than 28,000 people at more than 170 sites in Scotland. Taking this into (33) account it seems likely that this new centre will be another success story. 第3辑阅读【TEXT 2】part 4Chairmans Report I am pleased to report that, although we had been expecting poor results for this half year because of slow growth in the world economy, the company has performed very satisfactorily. Operating profits for this first half are in fact very much (19) in line with(符合；与一致（v）) those for the corresponding (20) period last year. Profits reached l 15 million before tax, compared with l 16.3 million last year. Much of our success in the last six months can be (21) attributed to the fact that all our major construction projects remained on schedule(按时；按照预定时间on the schedule(v) ). Particularly pleasing was the early (22) completion of a major building contract in Canada. The company has made good progress with the initiatives（首创精神，第一步，倡议） announced at the Annual General Meeting(年度股东大会). The majority of shareholders (23) supported the Boards decision to sell the companys loss-making engineering (24). It was the Boards belief that the company would (25) most benefit by (26) focusing its resources on the expansion of its construction activities. Negotiations with a potential buyer began in February and are now at a critical (27) stage. However, we feel that we are not as yet in a (28) position to (be in a position to do sth (v) )comment on what the outcome is likely to be. In June, we made a successful (29) bid for the Renishaw Construction Company of Hong Kong SAR, in order to give us greater (30) access to markets in South East Asia. We still have sufficient resources to pursue our growth (31) strategy and are at present (32) exploring several other business opportunities （寻求其它商机）which, like Renishaw Construction, would (33) open new markets to us. 第3辑阅读【TEXT 3 】part 4Who Benefits Most from Company Training? According to recent research, the better educated and the higher up the socio-economic scale(Scale这里是”等级”的意思) you are, the more likely you are to be offered workplace training. And, incidentally, the more likely you are to then turn (19) down the offer, pleading family and personal commitments or (20) pressure of work. Less qualified staff, on the other hand, are offered fewer training opportunities, but are more eager to (21) take them up. In fact, people with few or no educational qualifications are three times more likely to accept training when it is offered. In the majority of companies, more (22) resources allocated to management training (Allocate resources to management training (v)than to other areas. Employers (23) regard their better qualified staff as more important to the business, so they pay them accordingly and invest more in them in (24) terms of training. This is (25) justified by the fact that(证明合理的(v) organisations are dependent on properly (26) informed (Informed消息灵通的；见多识广的(a)managers making the right decisions. But this (27) emphasis may mean that companies are (28) letting other parts of the workforce down. The researchers found a growing demand for training among the lower-skilled.Unfortunately this demand is not being (29) met by employers, even though there are strong indications that companies would benefit from doing so. They also discovered that, despite the substantial (30) gap between the training provided for managers and that offered to other staff, there wasstill widespread endorsement (Endorse背书/认可/签署/赞同/在背面签名（vt）Endorsement认可，支持；背书；签注（文件）(n) ind:smnt)of training. For the purposes of the research, training was defined as any (31) form of planned instruction or tuition provided by an employer with the aim of helping employees do their work better. It therefore included a wide variety of approaches. On-the-job and classroom training(在职和课堂培训(n) (32) appeared to (Appear to do sth=seem to do sth似乎做；好像（v）)be used equally by employers. But learning on the job, which involved observing a certain procedure and then practising it, was easily the most popular method for all categories of employee. While many felt that learning from colleagues was best,very few (33) rated the internet as an effect
