”。例如generateempathy(产生共鸣),generateelectricity(发电),businessgeneration(业务开发);budget意为“预算,预算费”。例如budgetdeficits(预算赤字),budgetappropriation(预算拨款),budgetstatement(预算书),low-budgetoperation(小本经营)。8、Thesepeoplearetargetingarelativelysmallnumberofdiscerningclients.标准答案:D知识点解析:陈述表示“这些人将少数眼光敏锐的客户作为目标”。陈述部分的discerning对应D段中的islookingforexceptionalgoodsattherightpriceandhashighserviceexpectations,而且D段第二句提到“他们认定这个充满商机的市场既专业又利润颇丰,经调查发现,一个越来越熟悉互联网文化的群体正在寻找价格合适、服务优秀的优质商品”。句意与题意一致,符合要求。二、段落完型(本题共6题,每题1.0分,共6分。).Readthearticlebelowaboutconsumers'attitudestogoodsdescribedas'premium'..Choosethebestsentencefromtheoppositepagetofilleachofthegaps..Foreachgap,markoneletter(A-H)onyourAnswerSheet..Donotuseanylettermorethanonce.Shopperswaryof'premium'goodsOneofthemarketingindustry'sfavouritetermsis'premium'-usuallytakentomean'luxury'or'topquality'.Theidealistocreateapremiumcar,wristwatchorperfume-somethingthatappearstotranscendtheordinary.Whentheysucceed,marketersareabletochargehighpricesfortheresuItingproduct.However,manufacturersshouldtakenoteofarecentsurveyofshoppers'attitudestoso-calledpremiumgoods.【P1】________Infact,thetagseemstohavebecomedevaluedbyoveruse.Consumersofallsocio-economicbackgroundsareverykeentobuythebest-butnotallproductcategorieslendthemselvestoapremiumstatus.'Premium'canbeusedinanycategorywhereimageisparamount,andthatincludescars,toiletries,clothesandelectronics.【P2】________Bankingandinsurancearetypicalofthissecondgroup.Morethan70percentofconsumersinterviewedinthesurveysaidthatapremiumtagoneverydayitemssuchascoffeeorsoapisanexcusetochargeextraforproductsthatdon'talwayshaveextrabenefits.【P3】________Theprevalenceofsuchasuspiciousattitudemakeslifehardforthemarketers.Whiletheword'luxury'hadaclearanddefinablemeaningamongrespondents-mostrelatedittocars-'premium'wasfoundtobehardertodefine.Oddly,theonlycategoryapartfromcarswhere'premium'wasunderstoodtomeansomethingspecificwasbread.【P4】________Severalrespondentssaidtheywouldneverpaymuchforastandardslicedloafbutonspecialoccasionswouldhappilypaydoubleforsomethingthatqualifiesasatreat.Packagingwasfoundtobeanimportantfactorinchargingextraforpremiumproducts,withsophisticateddesignenablingtoiletries,electronicsorfooditemstosellforfarmore.Shoppersarewillingtopayextraforsomethingthathashadthoughtputintoitsoutwardappearance.【P5】________Yettheknowledgehasnoimpactontheirchoice.Theprofitmarginonpremium-pricedtoiletriesandbeautyitemscanbeasmuchas300-400percent-andinexcessof500percentforhi-fiandotherelectronicgoods.【P6】________Inacrowdedmarketplacesuchascarsormobiles,it'sfarmoredifficuIttoachievethistransformationthanyoumightthink.AThetermislesseffective,however,inareaswherestyleandfashionplayasmallerrole.BTheproducthiddenbehindthisattractiveexteriormaybeexactlythesameasanitemsellingforhalftheprice,andshoppersmaybequiteawareofthis.CTheresuItssuggestthattheterm'premium'meansverylittletoconsumers.DAfifthofthemwentfurther,anddismissedtheverywordassimplyawayofloadingprices.EItfollowsthatpriceandutilityarenottheonlyfactorsinplaywhenitcomestopurchasingdecisions.FWithsuchanincentive,thechallengeformarketersistofindthetriggersthatcanturnanordinaryproductintosomethingconsumerswillacceptaspremium.GThesurveyfoundthatconsumerswerepreparedtopaytoppricesforspecialityitems,justaslongaspricesforeverydayproductsremainedlow.HWhentheysucceed,marketersareabletochargehighpricesfortheresuItingproduct.9、【P1】标准答案:C知识点解析:空格所在之处起到了承上启下的作用,与前后句子相互照应,整体内容较好把握,而且考生还能从关键词入手,所以此题难度较低。空格之前谈到“然而,制造商应该留意最近一项就消费者对于所谓优质产品的态度进行的调查(arecentsurveyof)”,空格之后又紧接着提到“事实上,‘优质’标签因为被过渡滥用,已经日渐贬值(devalued)”。由此推断,空格处应该提到了该调查的具体内容,且调查内容与“优质”贬值息息相关,即“调查结果(resuIts)显示优质一词在消费者心中的含金量微乎其微(verylittle)”。因此,正确答案为选项C。10、【P2】标准答案:A知识点解析:空格所在之处与其之前的句子形成对比,与其之后的句子相互对应,故难度适中。空格之前谈到“优质(Premium)一词可以被应用于任何形象起决定性作用的产品领域,包括小汽车、化妆品、服饰和电子产品等”,空格之后又谈到“例如银行业和保险业就是这类典型的次要领域(thissecondgroup)”。由此推断,空格处应该是谈“优质”一词在银行业和保险业等这些典型次要领域的应用和影响,不及形象起决定性作用的产品领域,即“然而,在受风格和时尚影响更小的领域(areas),该术语(theterm)产生的预期效果也会更小”。因此,正确答案为选项A。11、【P3】标准答案:D知识点解析:空格所在之处与其之前的句子形成递进关系,与其后的句子构成因果关系,对应明显,故难度较小。空格之前谈到“在接受调查的消费者当中,有超过百分之七十的人(morethan70percent)认为,给诸如咖啡和肥皂这类日常商品贴上优质标签,其实就是为那些一般没有额外益处的商品额外收费的借口(anexcusetochargeextra)”,空格之后又谈到“消费者对此持普遍怀疑的态度,让商家的日子也变得艰难(makeslifehard)”。由此推断,空格处应该是谈消费者对“优质”标签的进一步看法,认为它只不过是变相涨价的销售方法而已,即“其中五分之一的消费者(afifthof)进一步摒弃(dismissed)“优质”这个独特的词并简单地将其视作一种涨价(loadingprices)的方法”。为了简化此题,同时提高应对BEC考试的能力,建议考生将百分数这类明显的数词作为切入点。因此,正确答案为选项D。12、【P4】标准答案:G知识点解析:空格所在之处与其前后文逻辑关系紧密,故难度适中。空格之前谈到“奇怪的是,除了汽车之外,消费者认为优质也可以用来形容某些特殊的(specific)商品,例如面包”,空格之后又谈到“个别接受调查的人指出,他们从来不会为了一份标准的切片面包多花一分钱,但对于有资格称之为美食的特别商品(specialoccasions),他们却愿意花费双倍的价钱”。由此推断,空格处应该也同样集中在特别的商品上面,即“调查发现,只要日常商品的价格保持在较低水平,消费者愿意高价购买特别的商品(specialityitems)"。以此题为例,空格上下文的中心全部集中在“特别商品”上面,所以考生可以推测空格所在之处是否也在谈论同样或者相关的事情,然后将可能的选项放进文章,最后再对其内容和逻辑进行判断,这也是解题的一种方法。因此,正确答案为选项G。13、【P5】标准答案:B知识点解析:空格所在之处是对其上文的进一步阐述,且与其下文构成转折关系,但是对应不明显,故难度较大。空格之前谈到“消费者愿意花更多的钱来购买精心包装的商品(somethingthathashadthoughtputintoitsoutwardappearance)”,空格之后紧接着又谈到“但是(Yet)这些大家心里都清楚的想法(knowledge)却动摇不了消费者的选择”。由此推断,空格处应该是谈消费者心里对于包装精美的商品的认识和想法,即“那些放置在吸引眼球的包装(attractiveexterior)里面的商品,极有可能和半价销售的商品一模一样,并且消费者心里可能完全明白(maybequiteawareofthis)”。因此,正确答案为选项B。14、【P6】标准答案:F知识点解析:空格所在之处与其之前的句子对应明显,故难度适中。空格之前提到“优质高价的化妆品和美容护肤品的利润高达百分之三百至四百(canbeasmuchas300-400percent)——比高保真音响和其他电子产品高出百分之五百(inexcessof500percent)”。由此推断,空格处应该是谈这类高额利润或与之相关的情况,即“在这样的利益刺激下(suchanincentive),营销人员面临的挑战是,找到把普通产品变成消费者愿意接受的优质商品的诱因”。短文中的canbeasmuchas300-400percent和inexcessof500percent对应选项中的suchanincentive。因此,正确答案为选项F。三、常规阅读理解(本题共6题,每题1.0分,共6分。).ReadthefollowingprofileofBrucePetter,thenewDirectoroftheManagementConsuItantsAssociation(MCA),andthequestionsontheoppositepage..Foreachquestion,markoneletter(A,B,CorD)onyourAnswerSheet.BrucePetterhasnotalwaysbeenanexecutive.Hestartedhiscareerpumpingpetrolatafillingstation,asheexplains:'AfterIleftthearmy,myfriend'sfather,whowasManagingDirectorofapetrolcompany,recommendedthatIgointotheoilindustry.Mygreat-unclewasrunningourownfamilypetrolcompany,andIlearnttheropesatapetrolstation.IsubsequentlymarriedthedaughteroftheMarketingDirectorbutthisdidnotmakeforthehappiestofscenarios.Dependingonwhichsideofthefamilytheycamefrom,myrelativesthoughtIshouldsupporteithermygreat-uncleormyfarther-in-law,soIdecidedthetimehadcomeformetoleavethewarringfactionstofightitoutamongthemselvesandmoveon.'HebecamefoundingDirectorofthePetrolRetailersAssociation.Butafterafewyearshedecided,'IwasgettingtothestagewhereIwantedtomoveonagain,sowhenIheardabouttheManagementConsuItantsAssociation(MCA)post,Iapplied.'Hewasawarethattheselectionprocessfortheheadofanytradeassociationwould,bydefinition,beprotractedbecauseofthedifficuItyofgettingverybusypeoplewithmainstreambusinessintereststogether.Theassociationhad30membercompaniesatthetime,representingalargeproportionofthebest-knownnamesinthesector,and'theyallwantedtohavealookatthisindividualwhohadappliedtorepresenttheirinterests,soIsawanawfullotofthemembership'.Hisprincipalareaofexpertise,hefeels,isinrunningatradeassociationandthebriefingthathehasbeenhandedsuggeststhatthiswillbeofprimevalue.'IfyouweretoaskmeifIwasevergoingtobeanexpertmanagementconsuItant,theanswerv/ouldbeno.ButIam,Ihope,abletoarticulatetheirviews,topushthroughpoliciestheywanttoseeinoperationandtoimprovetheirimage.IhopetomakemanagementconsuItancyapowerfulvoiceingovernmentandindustry.'ThePresidentoftheMCAconfirmswhatlandedPetterthejob.'Wesawalotofpeople,buttherewerethreethingsinparticularthatimpressedusaboutBruce.Hisexperienceofrunningatradeassociationwaskeyanditseemedtousthathehadagoodunderstandingofhowtorelatetoandinspireamembershipmadeupofverybusypartners,ofteninverylargebutalsosomeconsiderablysmallerfirms.WearealsoawarethatmanagementconsuItancyisnotalwaysportrayedinafavourablelightandhehasdonequiteabitofworkonpublicimageandhassomeverypositiveviewsinthisarea.'So,MrPetterhastakenoverfromretiringDirectorBrianO'Rorke,andachangeofmoodisnowintheair.O'Rorkewasatthehelmfor13yearsandhissuccessorisreticentwhenitcomestopredictinghowhisownapproachwilldiffer.'BriandidamagnificentjobofsustainingtheAssociation,ofholdingittogetherthroughthickandthin.'Idetecta'but'inhisvoice.But?'IthinkifyouaskanybodywhoorwhattheMCAwasunderhisdirection,thetemptationwouldbetosay"BrianO'Rorke".'Petterfeelshisownstylewillbeverymuchdeterminedbytheobjectivesofthemembers:heseeshimselfasachannelforthoseaims.'Idon'twanttheMCAtobeperceivedasBrucePetter'sempire,butratherthemembers'empire,'hesays.MrPetterclearlyhasadifficuIttaskahead,butmanyofhisstaffwillwelcomeamoreopen,modernstyleandthere'severyindicationhewillbeasuccess.15、WhatdowelearnaboutBrucePetterinthefirstparagraph?A、Helikestothinkofhimselfasaloyalperson.B、Hehasanegativeviewoffamily-runbusinesses.C、Hismilitarybackgroundcameinusefullaterinhiscareer.D、Anawkwardsituationinfluencedthedevelopmentofhiscareer.标准答案:D知识点解析:细节题。此题虽然对应句内容较长,但是提炼难度不大,加上其他选项干扰性较弱,故难度较小。定位第一段"Dependingonwhichsideofthefamilytheycamefrom…soIdecidedthetimehadcomeformetoleavethewarringfaction…andmoveon.”,即“因为我的亲戚来自两个家族,所以不管是我叔祖父这方还是我岳父这方,他们都希望得到我的支持,因此我决定是时候离开这两个针锋相对的家族,让他们自己一较高下,而我则单闯未来”。由此可知,两个不同的家族让BrucePetter陷入了两难的尴尬处境,于是选择离开单干,对应选项D所述“尴尬的处境影响了他事业的发展”。选项中的anawkwardsituation对应短文中的whichsideofthefamilytheycamefrom…father-inlaw,选项中的influencedthedevelopmentofhiscareer对应短文中的decidedthetimehadcomeformetoleavethewarringfaction…andmoveon。此外,选项A、B和C文中均未提及,故排除。因此,此题答案为D。16、WhenPetterappliedforthepostofDirectoroftheMCA,heknewthatA、adecisionwaslikelytotakealongtime.B、noteveryoneintheAssociationwasinterestedinhim.C、hewouldhavetofaceintensecompetition.D、somememberswouldopposehisappointment.标准答案:A知识点解析:推理题。定位第三段第一句,“他意识到,由于将业务繁忙的商人聚集一块共商主流商业利益很难,所以任何商业协会领导人的选拔程序明显会是一个漫长的过程”,由此可知,最终决定出管理顾问协会会长所需的时间,和任何商业协会领导人的选拔一样很长。选项中的adecision对应短文中的theselectionprocessfortheheadofanytradeassociation,选项中的takealongtime对应短文中的protracted。此外,选项B、C和D文中均未提及,故排除。因此,此题答案为A该段中出现了一个BEC考试高频词汇awful,由于该词含义差别较大,所以在考试当中,考生应该特别注意它在文章里要表达的准确意思。awful当形容词讲时:1.意为“糟糕的,恶劣的,讨厌的”;2.意为“非常的,极好的”,用于强调;3.look/feelawful,看上去感觉像生病了。当作副词时意为“非常,极其”。17、WhatdoesPetterbelieveheisabletochange?A、theviewstheMCAholdsonindustryB、thewayinwhichtheMCAdecidesonpolicyC、howtheMCAisperceivedbyotherpeopleD、theMCA’srelationswithothertradeassociations标准答案:C知识点解析:细节题。此题对应句虽然很长,但是句中的对应点很短,故难度适中。定位第四段"ButIam,Ihope,abletoarticulatetheirviews,topushthroughpoliciestheywanttoseeinoperationandtoimprovetheirimage.”,即“但是,我希望自己能够清楚地表达出他们的观点,推行他们在经营中所期望的方针,并改善他们的形象。”,由此可知,Petter相信他能够改善管理顾问协会的形象。题千中的change对应短文中的improve,选项中的how和isperceivedbyotherpeople对应短文中的image。此外选项A、B和D文中均未提及,故排除。因此,此题答案为C。18、WhichofthefollowingdoestheMCAPresidentmentionasareasonforappointingPetter?A、hisabilitytomotivatemembersofanassociationB、hisexperienceofworkingindifferenttradesC、hisbroadnetworkofbusinesscontactsD、hispreviousworkinmanagementconsuItancy标准答案:A知识点解析:细节题。此题干扰项迷惑性强,考生容易误选,但是对应明显,故难度适中。定位到第五段管理顾问协会主席所说的话“Hisexperienceofrunningatradeassociationwaskeyand…someconsiderablysmallerfirms”,即“他管理商业协会的经验是我们选择他的关键因素,这让我们觉得,不管是身在很大的公司还是众多规模小得多的公司,他都非常清楚如何与公务繁忙的会员相处并且激励他们”,由此可知,Petter懂得如何激励公务繁忙的会员。选项中的motivatemembersofanassociation对应短文中的inspireamembership,题干中的areasonforappointingPetter对应短文中的whatlandedPetterthejob。此外,Petter管理商业协会的经验并不等同于不同行业的经验,故排除选项B;选项C和D短文均未提及,故排除。因此,此题答案为A。19、Thewriternoticesthat,whenPettertalksabouthispredecessor,heA、expressessomeregretforhowtheAssociationdeaItwithhim.B、thinkshehadbeentherefortoolong.C、questionschangeshemadewithintheAssociation.D、indicateshehasmixedfeelingsabouthisleadershipstyle.标准答案:D知识点解析:主旨题。此题对应句较长,且需要考生理解句中的转折语气和句子的主旨内容,故难度较大。定位第六段’BriandidamagnificentjobofsustainingtheAssociation,ofholdingittogetherthroughthickandthin.’Idetecta’but’inhisvoice.But?’IthinkifyouaskanybodywhoorwhattheMCAwasunderhisdirection,thetemptationwouldbetosay"BrianO’Rorke".’,由此可知,作者既听到了Petter对于上任会长Brian的肯定,同时也听到了否定。短文中的Idetecta’but’inhisvoice是解题的关键,这是作者感觉Petter谈论Brian时前肯后否的转折,且对应选项中的mixedfeelings。因此,此题答案为D。20、PettersayshisaimasDirectoroftheMCAistoA、modernisetheAssociation.B、carryouttheAssociation’swishes.C、setanexampleoffirmleadershiptohisstaff.D、expandthemembershipoftheAssociation.标准答案:B知识点解析:主旨题。此题对应不明显,需要考生提炼和总结,故难度较大,建议考生先找到短文当中对应或者相关的句子。定位第六段"Petterfeelshisownstylewillbeverymuchdeterminedbytheobjectivesofmembers:heseeshimselfasachannelforthoseaims.”和"Idon’twanttheMCAtobeperceivedasBrucePetter’sempire,butratherthemembers’empire…"。由此可知,Petter将自己视作完成协会期望的媒介,带领会员创造属于大家的王国。选项中的association’swishes对应短文中的theobjectivesofmembers和thoseaims,选项中的carryout对应短文中的achannel。因此,此题答案为B。请考生熟练掌握以下由词根modern引出的一组形近词属于BEC考试高频词汇。动词类:modernise,“使现代化”。形容词类:modern,“现代的,近代的,时髦的”;modernist,“现代主义的”;modernised,“现代化的”;modernistic,“现代风格的,现代派的”。名词类:modern,“现代人”;modernisation,“现代化”;modernity,“现代性,新式”;modernism,“现代主义,现代思想,现代作风”;modernist,“现代主义者”。四、完形填空(单选)(本题共10题,每题1.0分,共10分。).ReadthearticlebelowaboutsicknessatworkinBritain..ChoosethecorrectwordtofilleachgapfromA,B,CorDontheoppositepage..Foreachquestion,markoneletter(A,B,CorD)onyourAnswerSheet.SicknessatworkSmallfirmsarecountingthecostofsicknessamongemployees.ResearchestimatesthatillnesscostsmallbusinessesinBritainamonthandahalfinlost【C1】________lastyear.Arecent【C2】________ofmorethan1,000smallandmediumenterprisesrevealedthatlastyeartheaveragesmallbusinesslostaround42daysthroughstaffphoninginsick,andthatthishadaserious【C3】________on27percentofsmallercompanies.Justoveroneintenemployeestooktimeoffforsevendaysina【C4】________Ofthese,9.5percentwereillforaweekonmorethanoneoccasion.InBritain,employeescantakesick【C5】________foruptoaweekbeforetheyhavetoproduceamedicalcertificate.Owner-managerswerefarlesslikelytobeoffsickthantheirstaff:3.3daysonaverage,comparedwiththe10daystakenbyemployees.Theheadoftheresearchteamsaid,'Themostcommon【C6】________ofabsencewasminorillness,suchascoldsorflu,butbackstrain,fracturesandthelike【C7】________forverynearlyasmuch.Ofgreater【C8】________isthatmorethat40percentofemployersfeItthattheiremployees'sicknessmaynothavebeengenuine.'Employerscandomoretoprotectthemselvesbydrawingupadequate【C9】________ofemploymentthatoutlinethecompany'ssickpay【C10】________Enhancedsickpayisthenattheemployer'sdiscretion.21、【C1】A、capacityB、productivityC、capabilityD、efficiency标准答案:B知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“能力,才能;容量,容积;容纳人数;职位,地位”;选项B意为“生产能力,生产效率”;选项C意为“(尤指完成任务和战胜苦难的)能力,才能”;选项D意为“效率,效能;功效(常用复数)”。这里表示“去年的(工作)病假让英国的小企业损失了一个半月的生产力”。因此选项B为正确答案。22、【C2】A、reportB、enquiryC、statementD、survey标准答案:D知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“报告,报道”;选项B意为“探究;质询”;选项C意为“陈述,声明;财务报表”;选项D意为“调查;勘测”。这里表示“最近一项针对1000多家中小型企业的调查显示”。因此选项D为正确答案。23、【C3】A、resuItB、consequenceC、impressionD、impact标准答案:D知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“结果”;选项B意为“后果;重要性”;选项C意为“印象;感想”;选项D意为“影响;作用;撞击力”。这里表示“这对27%的小企业造成了严重的影响”。因此选项D为正确答案。24、【C4】A、rowB、lineC、seriesD、sequence标准答案:A知识点解析:固定搭配题。inarow意为“连续”,这里表示“至少有十分之一的员工连请七天假”。inaline意为“排成一行,排队”;inaseries意为“一系列”;inasequence意为“按照顺序”。因此选项A为正确答案。25、【C5】A、leaveB、breakC、timeD、absence标准答案:A知识点解析:固定搭配题。takesickleave意为“请病假”,这里表示“员工无须出示医疗证明的病假能高达一周”。因此选项A为正确答案。26、【C6】A、reasonB、symptomC、causeD、motive标准答案:C知识点解析:近义词辨析。选项A意为“原因,理由(重在解释或说明某事发生的理由,常搭配介词for以及why和that引导的从句,也可接不定式)”;选项B意为“症状;(严重问题存在的)征兆”;选项C意为“原因,缘由(侧重造成某一事实或现象的起因和直接原因,常搭配介词of)”;选项D意为“动机,目的”。这里表示“请假缺勤最常见的原因是小病小痛”。因此选项C为正确答案。27、【C7】A、contributedB、accountedC、totalledD、credited标准答案:B知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“贡献,捐助,捐赠;投稿”;选项B常搭配介词for,accountfor意为“(比例)占……;对……负有责任;解释,说明”;选项C意为“共计,总数为”;选项D意为“相信;存钱入户;归功于(becreditedtosb./sth.)”。这里表示“但是背部劳损和骨折等等类似原因也占了差不多相同的比例”。因此选项B为正确答案。28、【C8】A、concernB、anxietyC、regardD、bother标准答案:A知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“重要的事情;担心的事情”;选项B意为“焦虑;渴望”;选项C意为“尊重,敬佩;关心,关注”;选项D意为“麻烦,不便,困难”。这里表示“更为重要的是”。因此选项A为正确答案。29、【C9】A、detailsB、itemsC、particularsD、terms标准答案:D知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“细节,详情”;选项B意为“项目”;选项C意为“详情”;选项D意为“条款”。这里表示“企业雇主可以通过草拟适当的就业条款”。此外,item和term都有“条款”之意,且常在口语中互用,但是,两者还是存在差别:term作“条款”时多用于书面语,且一般用于拟定的条约和协议当中;item作“条款”时常用于口语当中的商品讲解,表达的意思较为笼统多指“一条简短的消息或一项内容简短的条款”。因此选项D为正确答案。30、【C10】A、ideasB、notionsC、policiesD、intentions标准答案:C知识点解析:词义辨析题。选项A意为“想法,主意;概念”;选项B意为“概念;见解”;选项C意为“政策;策略;保险单”;选项D意为“意图,目的;打算”。这里表示“来明确公司的病假薪资政策”。因此选项C为正确答案。五、完形填空(填空)(本题共10题,每题1.0分,共10分。).Readthejobadvertisementbelow..Foreachquestion,writeonewordinCAPITALLETTERSonyourAnswerSheet.EmploymentwithKinsonpicStaffSupportAdvisersrequiredWeareanewly-formeddivisionofKinsonpic,oneoftheUK'slargestquotedcompanies,andprovidebusinesscustomers【B1】________solutionsthatcombineleading-edgee-commercetechnologyandanintegratednationwidecustomersupportnetwork.Theformationofthisnewdivisionhascreatedanumberofexcitingandchallengingroleswithinthecallcentresoftwo【B2】________oursevensites.Wehavevacancies【B3】________StaffSupportAdvisers.WorkingcloselywiththeBusinessManagers,yourjobwill【B4】________togearthebusinessupforthechallengesaheadbyimplementingaprogrammeofradicalchange.Whencompleted,thisprogrammewillenablethemanagementteamtouseourpeopleresourcesmoreeffectively,and【B5】________sodoingfacilitatetheimplementationofourcompany'sbusinessplan.Youwillbeinvolvedinallaspectsofhumanresourcesactivity,includingprovidingadviceandguidancetoyourbusinesspartnersandpolicydevelopment,in【B6】________toimplementinganytraininganddevelopmentinitiativesthecompanymaylaunchfromtimetotime.Wearelookingfortalentedindividuals【B7】________goodgeneralistgroundinghasbeengainedinacustomerservicesorcustomer-focusedenvironmentwhereyourflairandideas【B8】________currentlybeingunderused.Youmustbeabletoinfluencebusinessdecisionsfromahumanresourcesperspectiveandcreateinnovativesolutions.Youshouldalsobearesilient,adaptableteamplayer,as【B9】________ashavingatrackrecordofcoachingothers.Inreturn,anexcellentsalaryandbenefitspackageis【B10】________offer.Thesuccessfulapplicantwillhavetheadvantageofoutstandingopportunitiesforpersonaldevelopmentandadvancement.31、【B1】标准答案:WITH知识点解析:固定短语搭配。providesb.withsth.意为“向某人提供某物”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“我们为商业客户提供解决方案”。32、【B2】标准答案:OF知识点解析:语法题。空格之前出现two,其后出现seven,由此可知,前后构成所属关系,故用of所有格。联系短文,由此推测答案为“我们七个呼叫中心当中有两个因为新部门的成立……”。33、【B3】标准答案:FOR知识点解析:固定短语搭配。havevacanciesfor意为“需要招聘,有职位空缺”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“空缺的职位是人员支持顾问”。34、【B4】标准答案:BE知识点解析:语法题。空格之前出现will,其后出现不定式togearthebusinessup,且will后面要接动词原形,故空格处填be,用betodosth.表示“打算做某事,将要做某事”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“该职位的工作将是通过实施一项彻底变革计划,来推动企业应对未来的挑战”。35、【B5】标准答案:BY/IN知识点解析:固定短语搭配。by/insodoing意为“通过(上文提及的)这种做法”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“并且通过这种做法还能促进我们公司业务计划的实施”。36、【B6】标准答案:ADDITION知识点解析:固定短语搭配。inadditionto意为“除了……以外”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“除了开展培训和实施公司时常发起的发展计划之外”。37、【B7】标准答案:WHOSE知识点解析:语法题。空格之前的individual和其后的goodgeneralistgrounding构成从属关系,故用whose引导定语从句。联系短文,由此推测答案为“我们正在招纳客户服务方面的通才”。38、【B8】标准答案:ARE知识点解析:语法题。空格之前的ideas做主语,空格之后的currentlybeingunderused属于非谓语,句子缺谓语,故空格处应填系动词are,使其构成现在进行时的被动语态。联系短文,由此推测答案为“或者近期在客户导向型环境中天资和构思未被充分利用的通才”。39、【B9】标准答案:WELL知识点解析:固定短语搭配。aswellas意为“也,以及”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“而且也要有培训他人的经验”。40、【B10】标准答案:ON知识点解析:固定短语搭配。onoffer意为“提供的;供出售的”。联系短文,由此推测答案为“我们将会给您提供十分丰厚的薪资和福利”。六、改错(本题共12题,每题1.0分,共12分。).Readtheextractbelowfromtheannualreportofabedmanufacturer..Inmostofthelinesthereisoneextraword.Itiseithergrammaticallyincorrectordoesnotfitinwiththesenseofthetext.Somelines,however,arecorrect..Ifalineiscorrect,writeCORRECTonyourAnswerSheet..Ifthereisanextrawordintheline,writetheextrawordinCAPITALLETTERSonyourAnswerSheet..Theexercisebeginswithtwoexamples,(0)and(00).CHIEFEXECUTIVE'SREVIEW0Theprimefocusformanagem
