1、 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

2、，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

3、.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

4、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 \basis On the basis of\be based on\customer base\manufacture

9、 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 t

10、akes. 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 aga

11、inst targets, while looking forward to the next year. What is happening now will (24) influence the objectives and plans for the future. 　　In today's business climate, as markets constantly change and become more difficult to (25 predict, some analysts believe that long-term planning is pointless.

12、 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

13、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

14、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 rel

15、ation 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 4 Managing 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

16、 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

17、….的思想（v）） all working relationships, including the relationship with one's 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 c

18、areer (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 manag

19、er 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 one's 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 j

20、ust 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 sh

21、ow (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 Res

In doing so, it committed itself to the highest (0) standards

23、 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 traditio

24、nal 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, int

25、erpersonal (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 organisation's chief aim. CBA claims to pursue this aim for its own (25) sake（For one’s sake= for the s

'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

30、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 con

31、centration 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

32、 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 t

33、o 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 one’s say发表意见；有发言权 (v)), rather than just their more outspoken colleagues. In (32) re

34、ality , 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 4』 Promise of Jobs with Telephone Banking Centre An ￡80-million telephone banking centre is to open in Scotland, with the creation of a

35、bout 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

36、joint partnership(合伙经营) (21) involving global telecommunications firm Concept and customer care specialists Businesslink.

Callum Martin, president of global accounts for Grand U

38、nion 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,

39、'It's 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 today's (30) announcement is just the latest (31) step in our attempt to create high quality jobs in t

40、he 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 ne

Much of our success in the last six months can be (21) attributed to the fact that all our major construc

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 share

44、holders (23) supported the Board's decision to sell the company's loss-making engineering (24). It was the Board's belief that the company would (25) most benefit by (26) focusing its resources on the expansion of its construction activities.

In June, we made a successful (29) bid for the Renishaw Construction Company of Hong Kong SAR, in order to give us greate

In fact, people with few or no educational qualifications are three times more likely to accept training when it is offere

Employers (23) regard their better qualified staff as more important to the business, so they pay them accordingly and invest more in them in (

But this (27) emphasis may mean that companies are (28) letting other parts of the workforce down. The resea

Most customer service provision is(22) carried out by personal account managers based in local branches, together with(23) support staff at company headquarters. An important (24)objecti

57、ve for APL has been to make it easy for customers to (25)do business with the bank. They can contact their account manager by direct line or email; if the manager is on holiday, a carefully chosen colleague becomes the ‘account contact’ and (26)deals with the customer during the manager’s(27) absenc

In order to remain competitive and build customer loyalty, the bank guarantees to turn around(周转时间；转回时间(n)) urgent loan(29) application within 24 hours. This focus on

For example, newly inducted staff (Newly inducted staff 新招员工(n))(31)go through a ‘customer service review’ to find out what it is like to be on the other side of the desk, asking to borrow money. Together, these innovation in banking have achieved excellent results. The customer(33) base is growing fast, and last year the bank gained 36,000 new business accounts(公司/企业账户（n）).
