【篇三：bec中级第三辑阅读真题解析】

t>t1p1

这篇文章是关于一个女性时尚饰品公司——flacks的发展战略问题，四个专家给出了自己的建议。这套题目的答案稍微有些隐晦。

第一题，说在开发新产品前咨询客户的意见对于flacks来讲是很明智的。答案是b段的最后一句：thorough market research will

help to ensure any new ideas are well received.彻底的市场调查

能够确保新的思想很好的被接受。market research，市场调查，在

很大程度上就是咨询客户的意见（consult customers），any new ideas可以对应于developing a new product,能够well received，那么对于公司来讲当然就是advisable了。选b。

第二题，说为专业市场生产产品可以增加利润。答案是d段的这么

一句：the company should consider exploiting niche markets

to improve its margins这题关键是要理解一个市场的含义：niche market。看英英解释：a small area of trade within the economy, often involving specialized products。improve its margins也就是increase profits，选d。

第三题，说flacks可能需要改变它的一个设备的功能。这里答案不是太明显，是c段的这么一句：they should also consider refocusing production by using their uk factory for high-specification products。他们也需要考虑通过利用英国工厂生产高

规格产品来调整生产焦点。也就是说，英国工厂原来不是生产高规

格产品的，即题目说的改变它的一个设备的功能。

第四题，说flacks可以利用现有的技能来进入一个新的市场。答案是a段的这么一句：they need to move into a more promising market, one where demand is growing and where the company can exploit existing skills and contacts。他们需要进入一个更有

发展前景的市场，一个需求增长并且公司可以利用现有技能和合同

的市场。exploit existing skills也就是utilise its current expertise。

第五题，说flacks可以考虑关闭现有的生产设备。这题也有些隐晦，答案是这么一句：think about outsourcing all this work abroad。关键就在于outsource这个词的意思：turn to outside suppliers

or manufacturers外购。既然是要考虑outsource——turn to outside manufactures，那么也就是可以考虑关闭自己的生产设备了。选b。

第六题，说flacks应该考虑发展同领先的连锁商已经建立起来的关系。答案在c段：build on their relationships with the big stores 发展他们同大商店的关系。

第七题，说扩展产品范围对劳动力来讲不是问题。答案在a段：they could think about brand extension - this would not be a giant leap and the sales force would take it in its stride.他们可

以考虑品牌扩张——这不是一个巨大的跳跃，在销售力量的步调范

围之内。言下之意，不是问题。选a。

t1p2

《evaluating the performance of the board》，评估董事局的表现。众所周知一个公司里面是经常对员工的表现进行评估的，那么

谁又来评估董事局的表现呢？这篇文章讲了对董事局表现进行评估

的重要性和一些方法。

第八题，前面说对董事局的表现进行评估是很重要的。空格后面的

句子中有another reason，可见这个第八空应该填入对董事局表现

进行评估原因的句子。b符合这一特点，为什么要进行评估，因为“如果决策层是公司唯一逃避评估的成员的话，其他的员工会视之为

不公平。”

1

第九题，前面说小公司会发现这种评估过程更容易操作。空格后面

一个however，说大公司的决策层会认为评估是对他们地位的一种

挑战。可见这个空格应该填入表示小公司愿意接受评估的句子。a符

合这一特点：通常这些公司的决策层会很乐意接受批评，因为这可

以防止他们犯错误。这里的such companies是个暗示，可以和前

面的smaller companies对应上。

第十题，前面问怎样对公司的董事局进行评估。那么很明显，后面

跟的句子应该和评估的方式方法有关。符合这一标准的只有f：一般

认为确保对董事局里每个成员的定期评估是主席的责任。也就是说

是依赖于主席进行评估。responsibility是个关键词。

第十一题。第五段依然是讲评估的方法，具体的过程。空格的前面

说主席可以单独会见董事局的每一个成员，或者是集体在一起谈话。空格后面说这些可以询问人们关于董事局主要任务以及委员会的工

作进展情况的意见。ask for people?s opinion是个关键点，什么

可以询问人们的观点？调查。选d，questionnaires是个关键的暗示：或者，也许可以给经理们分发调查问卷，形成未来讨论的基础。第十二题，这一空前面说有调查显示对董事局成员进行评估的方法

有所改善。空格后面来了一个疑问，提出没有人评估主席。可见第

十二题有转折的意思，选e，有关键的连词however,而且e的one

issue remains，正好对应最后一段最后一句话的一个问题。内容上也吻合。

t1p3

《british companies across the atlantic》，跨洋英国公司。有一批在本土干的不错的英国公司，雄心勃勃的要在大洋彼岸的美国去大展拳脚，结果遭遇了滑铁卢。文章根据这些公司的经验和教训，说明了去海外开拓市场的注意事项。

13题，问英国商人去美国的主要原因是什么。答案是第一段的最后一句话：the ultimate goal is to persuade more americans that british companies have something to interest them.终极目标是是更多的美国人信服英国公司有可以吸引他们的地方。说的这么婉转动听，其实意思就是：要美国人买他们英国人的产品。答案是a。ultimate goal可以对应于main reason。

14题，说在作者的观点里，所推荐的企业（proposed是recommended的意思）不同于上次的一批，原因是什么。答案是第二段的最后的一句：instead of exclusively promoting the major corporations, this time there is more emphasis on supporting the smaller, more unusual, niche businesses.这次的重点更多的在于支持规模小一些的特色企业，而不是单独促进大公司。也就是说这次和上次的区别在于重点扶植的对象不同。选b：less well-known companies will be better represented。不那么出名的一些公司将得到更好的展现。represented在这里的意思是be present to a particular degree.看一个例句：abstraction is well represented in this exhibition.

15题，问作者认为carringtons错误的地方在哪。答案是第三段的最后一句：the belief that they could even show some of the great american stores a retailing trick or two was hopelessly over-optimistic.认为自己可以给一些大的美国商店玩一下连锁的戏法，结果杯具了。也就是答案c所说的认为他们强于美国对手。show some of the great american stores a retailing trick是关键点，理解了这个就好做出答案。

16题，问依作者之见，polly brown的错误在什么时候发生的。答案在第四段，前面说当这个公司将自己定位于一个特殊的奢侈品牌时，战略似乎是奏效的。但是当管理层决定去攻占中级市场时，成功的果实很快被榨干了。所以答案是b：试图去吸引一个不同类型的

消费群体。a different type of customer可以对应于take on the middle market。take on在这里是occupy的意思。

2

17题，问sarah scott说英国公司要想在美国成功必须怎么样，答

案在第五段。这个人在第五段前面讲了很多英国公司的缺点，比如

自以为是。最关键的句子是这么一个：you have to look at what

you can bring them that they havent already got.给他们带来他

们现在还没有得到的一些东西。也就是说要填补现有市场上的一些

空白。选a。

18题，在美国成功取决于什么。答案在第六段。说人们需要有一点个性的东西，而这正好是从事于这个领域的很多公司可以做的。答

案选d：建立一个独特商品提供者的名声。unique goods是关键词，可以对应things with some sort of individuality。

t1p4

这篇文章主要讲的是一个大型的电话银行中心可能带来的就业前景。 19题，首先排除c、d，因为此处应该填入一个动词，用来指代即

将于下个八月完全运作的telephone banking centre。plant是指（工业用的）大型机器、设备，所以此处应该选择facility，设施。

20题，指这个centre是让两个公司联合赞助的。assist后接with，invest后接in，paid意思不对，不是一般付款而是提供资金，所以

是fund。

21题，此处的动词是用来表明这个联合赞助所涉及到的两方。consist后需要of，engage意思不对，contain一般用来表示整体

包含某个部分，这个空格前后并不是包含关系。involve，涉及到，

用法对意思也对。 22题，in collaboration with 固定用法，合作

23题，benifit from 从。。。中获益。

24题和25题，这个句子翻译过来就是新中心将广泛利用创新型商

业程序。这种程序有利于对我们珍贵的客户提供改进的服务和经验。理解句子含义，不难选出答案。

26和27题，作为一个整体进行考虑。吸引了投资所以增加了就业

机会。26题，b、c首先可以排除，这个空的意思是新的工作是吸引

投资所做努力的证明，从意思上讲，应选evidence。27题，attract investment吸引投资，是商英里非常地道的表达。其他几个从汉语

意思上貌似都说的通，但不是地道的英语表达。

28题，enable to使某人能够。

29题，relocation改变位置，办公室搬迁。意思是促使我们将爱丁堡“推销”给考虑在苏格兰重置办公室的公司。 30题，这个题目要想填对需要费一番心思，从整体上看这个空。整篇文章讲的是一个电

话银行中心要开在苏格兰了。这个消息一经宣布，引发了各方的猜想，觉得可以创造就业机会，带动当地经济的发展。而这一段整个

就是当地议会的表态，这一空的前面就是议会官员说的话。所以30

空和31空是最后的总结，说今天的宣布就是最近的为了创造高质量工作所采取的举措。理解了意思，30空填announcement，31题

填step。 32题，为自己挣一个好的名声。用earn，固定用法。

33题，take into account，固定用法，考虑到

t1p5

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

3

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》，消费者行为。文章分析了一些影响消费者行为的因素。 34题，evaluate是及物动词，后面直接接宾语。evaluate the alternatives，评估替代的选择。with多余。 35题，正确的

36题，如果是respond to，后面应该要接宾语，而这里的

respond to后面的是副词，所以直接用respond表示反应，to是

多余的。

37题，正确的

38题，这里并没有因果关系。完整的句子是这样的：for

purchases where the risk of making the wrong decision is greater,(so)the search for information is more important.意思风

险越大，收集信息越重要。so是多余的。 39题，separate

decision是和前面的single decision相对应说的，并没有特别指代，所以代词these在这里是多余的。

40题，change their minds，改变他们的注意，about多余。

41题，这个句子并没有转折的意思，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。连词although是多余的。

43题，正确的。

44题，too是副词，后面不能跟着来修饰名词，只能是too positive。而从这里的句子的意思来看，是说好的设备和高效率的员

工可以带来一个好的印象。所以too是多余的。

45题，that引导从句。而这个句子主谓宾很齐全，that前面是主语，affect是谓语，后面是宾语，不是从句，所以that多余。

t2p1

《successful time management》，成功的时间管理。文章针对

怎么利用时间、提高工作效率提出了一些建议。第一题，为了完成

好一个任务，没有必要处理每一个细节。答案是c段的最后一句话，而且这句话同时是第一题和第四题的答案所在：unless you have spare time, do not spend extra hours on an activity in an effort

to cover absolutely everything.除非你有空闲的时间，否则不要在

一件事情上花费额外的时间去努力涉及到所有事情。cover absolutely everything可以对应于deal with every detail。

第二题，如果你有很多要做的，也许需要拒绝以后的工作。答案是

b段的最后一句，有点绕：this may require you to be firm and avoid agreeing to more than is realistic.这需要你变得坚定，避免

答应超出现实的工作。more than is realistic，也就是眼前无法完成的工作，即work in the future。

第三题，任何计划行为都需要建立在一个有规律的基础上。答案在

a段。a段整个就是讲的计划的重要性，有计划，才能合理安排时间。中间说有人喜欢在每天开始的时候计划，有人喜欢在结束前。答案

是这么一句：you may need to experiment to find what suits you best-find some way of fitting the activity into your schedule.你

必须去试验寻找到最适合你的——寻找将这个活动融入到你的时间

表的某种方法。要让计划融入进你的时间表，也就是说计划要成为

你的日程的固定部分，即题目说的take place on a regular basis。第四题，在第一题已经说了，c段的最后一句，extra hours可以

对应于additional time。

第五题，可能有些例行的任务不需要被执行。答案是d段的第一句：if your review of a period of time shows that you are spending time on things that are not really necessary or important, then think hard about whether you can afford this time如果回顾某段

时间发现你在一些并不是真正必要或者重要的事情上花费了时间，

那么你需要仔细考虑这次你是否花的起。言下之意，有些things

that are not really necessary or important（some routine tasks）可以不必花时间做(do not need to be carried out)。

第六题，如果你觉得自己工作负担过重，那么查明原因很重要。答

案是b段的这么一句：this is not a crime, but you must examine the reasons for such a situation and then plan a course of action。examine the reasons可以对应于identify the cause。

第七题，各个等级的人都会进行浪费时间的活动。答案在d段，需

要提炼。d段整个讲的都是不要把时间浪费在不必要的事情上。前面

说不要干一些routine task，后面说顶端的经理们也会误用他们的努力。最后一段盘点了很多人，前面的many people，后面的even

top manager，和在一起就是题目说的people at all levels。不管

是routine task，还是misdirecting their efforts，都是time-wasting activities。

t2p2

《staff appraisals》，员工评估。很多公司的员工和经理都害怕评估，但是好的评估可以增进员工的忠诚度和满意感，给公司带来益处。

第八题，前面说年度评估可能是个有用的或者是痛苦的经历。但是根据调查，标准的年度评估效果却不尽如人意。那么正常来讲，后面应该接着说评估不好（far from perfect）的原因或者是表现。c 选项讲的是表现（problems），e选项虽然有because，但是不是讲的评估不好的原因。选c，正好和后面也对的上。出了问题，才使得后果更加严重（the possible outcome is even worse）。

第九题，也需要理顺上下文的逻辑关系。前面说评估的质量取决于老板决定怎么去执行。如果进行的好的话员工会根据收到的反馈来改进他们的表现。空格后面一个so，问到怎么样让一个有建设性的评估被实行？那么前面的内容多少有点转折的意思。实行的好对改进员工的表现有好处，可实行的不好呢？逻辑上看，这里应该
