BEC真題一

Get better at keyboarding

0 There is a simple way to work more efficiently: improve your keyboard

00 skills by learning to touch keyboard them. If you are one of the vast majority

34 of some people who keyboard with two or four fingers, you may believe that

35 you are reasonably efficient. But the average person seldom achieves more

36 than twelve words by a minute when using this method, while touch keyboarding

37 can achieve up to 120 words, if enabling you to work almost as quickly

38 as you can think. Whatever position you hold in your company, you are

39 probably given responsible for answering emails or generating documents, and it

40 is quite likely that you spend too much time doing this. Stop and consider how

41 far much more you could do in a day as a result of touch keyboarding. You would

42 be able to create such a document faster than you can write and as

43 quickly as you can think and free up time to be more than creative. Moreover,

44 you would save up the cost of a full-time secretary, and no longer have to

45 wait for your documents to be created and either then have to return them for correction.

《Get better at keyboarding》，keyboarding是鍵盤輸入的意思。文章是在講怎么提高鍵盤輸入的效率。

34題，the vast majority of people，一大部分人，some插進(jìn)來是多余的，意思重復(fù)

35題，正確的

36題，一分鐘十二個(gè)字，正確的表述是twelve words a minute，介詞by是多余的

37題，分詞作伴隨狀語，直接用enabing，if是多余的，而且這里也沒有如果的意思

38題，正確的

39題，be responsible for固定搭配，如果要用given，后面得用responsibility。去掉given

40題，正確的

41題，consider how much more you could do in a day，考慮你一天可以多干多少事。How far是形容有多遠(yuǎn)，在這里意思不對，用法也不對。

42題，create a document，創(chuàng)造一個(gè)文檔，整個(gè)句子的意思是創(chuàng)造一個(gè)文檔的速度比你自己寫還要快。沒有特殊指代某一個(gè)文檔的意思，去掉such。

43題，more creative，更有創(chuàng)造性了，more than是不僅僅是的意思，后面一般接名詞而不是形容詞，所以去掉than。

44題，save在這里表示節(jié)省成本的意思，及物動(dòng)詞，不用up

45題，either一般是用在句末，而且這里沒有表示“也。。。”的意思，有then就夠了。所以去掉either。

BEC真題二

Consumer Behaviour

0 The consumer is the focus of all retail business and it is important to appreciate how

00 consumers are influenced in their buying decisions. Most of consumers, before making a

34 purchase, gather information and evaluate with the alternatives, but the extent to which

35 they look for information depends on the type of purchase. For example, in the case of

36 routine grocery purchases most consumers respond to automatically. However, for

37 purchases where the risk of making the wrong decision is greater, like buying a new

38 car, so the search for information is more important. The decision to purchase is never a

39 single decision but a number of these separate decisions, and at any time during this

40 process, consumers can change their minds about and choose an alternative route. For

41 example, although a consumer may have decided where to buy a product only to realise

42 at the last moment that this is, in fact, having the wrong choice. The price in the store may

43 be too high or the staff unhelpful. On the other hand, a lack of queues, favourable credit

44 facilities and efficient staff all lead to a too positive impression, so retailers should

45 remember how difficulties in these areas that can affect a sale or even lose a customer permanently.

《Consumer Behaviour》，消費(fèi)者行為。文章分析了一些影響消費(fèi)者行為的因素。

34題，evaluate是及物動(dòng)詞，后面直接接賓語。evaluate the alternatives，評(píng)估替代的選擇。with多余。

35題，正確的

36題，如果是respond to，后面應(yīng)該要接賓語，而這里的respond to后面的是副詞，所以直接用respond表示反應(yīng)，to是多余的。

37題，正確的

38題，這里并沒有因果關(guān)系。完整的句子是這樣的：for purchases where the risk of making the wrong decision is greater,(so)the search for information is more important.意思風(fēng)險(xiǎn)越大，收集信息越重要。so是多余的。

39題，separate decision是和前面的single decision相對應(yīng)說的，并沒有特別指代，所以代詞these在這里是多余的。

40題，change their minds，改變他們的注意，about多余。

41題，這個(gè)句子并沒有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，完整的是a consumer may have decided where to buy a product only to realize at the last moment that this is the wrong decision。連詞although是多余的。

42題，從上面的完整句子可以看出，已經(jīng)有了謂語is，having是多余的。

43題，正確的。

44題，too是副詞，后面不能跟著來修飾名詞，只能是too positive。而從這里的句子的意思來看，是說好的設(shè)備和高效率的員工可以帶來一個(gè)好的印象。所以too是多余的。

45題，that引導(dǎo)從句。而這個(gè)句子主謂賓很齊全，that前面是主語，affect是謂語，后面是賓語，不是從句，所以that多余。

BEC真題三

Promise 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) 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) through a joint partnership (21) global telecommunications firm Concept and customer care specialists Businesslink.

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) of the efforts made to (27) investment to the region.

The council will continue to work hard to ensure that today's (30) is just the latest (31) 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) 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), it seems likely that this new centre will be another success story.

這篇文章主要講的是一個(gè)大型的電話銀行中心可能帶來的就業(yè)前景。

19題，首先排除C、D，因?yàn)榇颂帒?yīng)該填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，用來指代即將于下個(gè)八月完全運(yùn)作的telephone banking centre。plant是指(工業(yè)用的)大型機(jī)器、設(shè)備，所以此處應(yīng)該選擇facility，設(shè)施。

20題，指這個(gè)centre是讓兩個(gè)公司聯(lián)合贊助的。assist后接with，invest后接in，paid意思不對，不是一般付款而是提供資金，所以是fund。

21題，此處的動(dòng)詞是用來表明這個(gè)聯(lián)合贊助所涉及到的兩方。consist后需要of，engage意思不對，contain一般用來表示整體包含某個(gè)部分，這個(gè)空格前后并不是包含關(guān)系。involve，涉及到，用法對意思也對。

22題，in collaboration with 固定用法，合作

23題，benifit from 從。。。中獲益。

24題和25題，這個(gè)句子翻譯過來就是新中心將廣泛利用創(chuàng)新型商業(yè)程序。這種程序有利于對我們珍貴的客戶提供改進(jìn)的服務(wù)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。理解句子含義，不難選出答案。

26和27題，作為一個(gè)整體進(jìn)行考慮。吸引了投資所以增加了就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。26題，B、C首先可以排除，這個(gè)空的意思是新的工作是吸引投資所做努力的證明，從意思上講，應(yīng)選evidence。27題，attractinvestment吸引投資，是商英里非常地道的表達(dá)。其他幾個(gè)從漢語意思上貌似都說的通，但不是地道的英語表達(dá)。

28題，enable to使某人能夠。

29題，relocation改變位置，辦公室搬遷。意思是促使我們將愛丁堡“推銷”給考慮在蘇格蘭重置辦公室的公司。

30題，這個(gè)題目要想填對需要費(fèi)一番心思，從整體上看這個(gè)空。整篇文章講的是一個(gè)電話銀行中心要開在蘇格蘭了。這個(gè)消息一經(jīng)宣布，引發(fā)了各方的猜想，覺得可以創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，帶動(dòng)當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。而這一段整個(gè)就是當(dāng)?shù)刈h會(huì)的表態(tài)，這一空的前面就是議會(huì)官員說的話。所以30空和31空是最后的總結(jié)，說今天的宣布就是最近的為了創(chuàng)造高質(zhì)量工作所采取的舉措。理解了意思，30空填announcement，31題填step。

32題，為自己掙一個(gè)好的名聲。用earn，固定用法。

33題，take into account，固定用法，考慮到

BEC真題四

Who Benefits Most from Company Training?

According to recent research, the better educated and the higher up the socio?economic scale you are, the more likely you are to be offered workplace training. And, incidentally, the more likely you are to then turn (19) the offer, pleading family and personal commitments or (20) of work. Less qualified staff, on the other hand, are offered fewer training opportunities, but are more eager to (21) 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) are allocated to management training than to other areas. Employers (23) their better qualified staff as more important to the business, so they pay them accordingly and invest more in them in (24) of training. This is (25) by the fact that organisations are dependent on properly (26) managers making the right decisions. But this (27) may mean that companies are (28) 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) by employers, even though there are strong indications that companies would benefit from doing so. They also discovered that, despite the substantial (30) between the training provided for managers and that offered to other staff, there was still widespread endorsement of training.

For the purposes of the research, training was defined as any (31) 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 (32)to 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) the internet as an effective way to train.

誰從公司培訓(xùn)中獲益最多?

第一段的三個(gè)空需要在理解整體的基礎(chǔ)上聯(lián)系起來進(jìn)行選擇。根據(jù)調(diào)查，受教育程度越高，越有可能接受公司的培訓(xùn)。And, incidentally，這里最好能理解下incidentally的意思：used to introduce a new topic, or some extra information, or a question that you have just thought of (引出新話題、附加信息、或臨時(shí)想到的問題)順便提一句。你越接受培訓(xùn)，越有可能拒絕這份工作，苦苦哀求的家人、個(gè)人承諾以及工作壓力。相反倒是接受培訓(xùn)較少的員工，可能會(huì)接受他們(指前面被拒絕的這些東西)。19題選turn down拒絕，21題與turn down對應(yīng)，選take up接收。

22題，更多資源被分配給了管理層培訓(xùn)而不是其他地方。training也是一種資源。

23題，regard….as固定搭配。雇主認(rèn)為他們具有更好知識(shí)的員工更為重要。

24題，in terms of固定短語，就….而論，在…..方面。

25題，根據(jù)上下文意思來選擇。前面說花在管理層的培訓(xùn)更多，這一句實(shí)際上是介紹原因：組織有賴于消息靈通的經(jīng)理們做出正確的決定。25題，justify證明….正確。組織依賴于經(jīng)理們所作的正確決定的事實(shí)證明了把更多的培訓(xùn)花在他們身上是正確的。

26，informed，見多識(shí)廣的，消息靈通的。商務(wù)英語中常見的一個(gè)常見說法是keep informed(It is a good way to keep staff informed)，所以看到這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該就很敏感。

27題，emphasis強(qiáng)調(diào)(Emphasis is special or extra importance that is given to an activity or to a part or aspect of something.)，指培訓(xùn)的側(cè)重點(diǎn)在經(jīng)理們的身上。

28題，let down使失望，這種側(cè)重讓其他員工失望。

29題，meet the demand滿足需要。雖然對低技術(shù)職員的培訓(xùn)需求在增長，但經(jīng)理們并沒有滿足這樣的需要。

30題，兩者之間的巨大缺口，gap。

31題，any form of 任何形式的計(jì)劃好的說明。

32題，后面的一句有個(gè)BUT，也就是轉(zhuǎn)折，所以前面用appeared to be，看起來像是。

33題，rate as固定用法，把某事物評(píng)價(jià)為

BEC題五

Meetings That Work

0 A vital skill for anyone running a business it is the ability to communicate

00 effectively. This is particularly important in a meeting where complex arguments

34 need to be put forward and where it is too vital to get the best out of the situation

35 and those present in as little time as possible. Before calling a meeting, ask

36 yourself if you actually need one, since so many are unproductive results and do

37 not really need to take place. Sending an email or by using another means of

38 communication, such as a simple phone call, might achieve the desired results in

39 half the time. Having established the need for a meeting, so inform those you

40 wish to attend and ask people to be punctual. Concerning the key to a good

41 meeting is an agenda, which needs to be sent out in advance and should state the

42 date, time and location. It should also contain the names of those ones who will

43 be present and setthat out, starting with the most important, the points for

44 discussion. Ask in advance for suggestions for items to be discussed about but

45 set a deadline for submissions in order to reduce the amount of time that has to be spent under 'Any Other Business'.

《Meetings that work》，起作用的會(huì)議。文章講的是開好一個(gè)會(huì)議應(yīng)該注意哪些問題。

34題，it is vital to do sth.，做什么事情是至關(guān)重要的。too…to結(jié)構(gòu)表示太而不能。從上下文和詞組的用法來看，too是多余的。

35題，正確的

36題，since so many are unproductive，是說的很多會(huì)議都沒有效果。主謂賓很齊全，unproductive做形容詞就可以修飾前面的meeting，results是多余的。

37題，完整的句子應(yīng)該是Sending an email or(by)using another means of communication might achieve the desired results in half the time。介詞by是多余的。有by，不僅后面的主語不對，也沒有與前面的sending保持一致。

38題，正確的

39題，這個(gè)句子的前后沒有因果關(guān)系，去掉so

40題，(Concerning)the key to a good meeting is an agenda,主謂賓是齊全的，the key to a meeting是主語，is是謂語，an agenda是賓語，意思就是日程表是會(huì)議的關(guān)鍵。Concerning是多余的。

41題，正確的

42題，those who固定的搭配，指代哪些人，ones是多余的

43題，去掉插入成分starting with the most important，完整的句子是set(that)out the points for discussion。set out是詞組，在這里是陳述、闡明的意思：present information or ideas in a well-ordered way in writing or speech.。所以that多余。

44題，discuss是及物動(dòng)詞，做討論時(shí)直接用discuss，而不是discuss about。事實(shí)上，在discuss后面接about時(shí)的about一般都是做“大約的”意思講，而不是一個(gè)完整的詞組。所以此處about多余。

45題，正確的。
