搭配题
重在考查考生寻找语篇大意和具体信息的能力。
技巧：先快速阅读七个句子，找出每句关键词。七个句子一般要比四个文本要简单，更容易理解，所以建议先读懂七个句子。
仔细阅读四个文本，看有无和七个句子中关键词意思一直的词。切记文本中出现的多是同义或近义的表达，很少出现和前面七个句子中完全一样的单词。如果发现有一样的表达，请谨慎选择，因为很可能是迷惑考生的。
切记：长得像得有可能是答案，长得一样的多数情况不是答案。
例如，句子中“utlise its current expertise”和文本中“exploit existing skills”相对应。句子中“Move into a more promising market”和文本中“enter a different market”相对应。
每个文本至少使用一次。
句子填空题
重在考查考生语篇整体意义的理解能力，以及根据语篇逻辑关系有条理地对内容进行组织衔接的能力。
技巧：瞻前顾后，把空前后的句子都看一遍，特别要注意上下文中的连接词、指示词和代词。看在语义和逻辑上是否吻合。
最后没有填上的空，建议采用试错法，一个一个句子的试，凭自己的语感猜测答案。
阅读理解题
重在考查考生寻找语篇大意和具体信息的能力。
这是我们中国学生最擅长的题，从中学到大学我们都练过，相信你们都已掌握了秘诀，这里不在赘述。
完形填空题
重在考查近义词辩析，搭配，惯用法等。
技巧：首句一般都不留空，所以一定要仔细看首句，首句对了解文章主题和大意有帮助。
瞻前顾后，把空前后都看一遍，从词义辩析，词语搭配，上下文语境，习惯用法等方面入手，选择答案。有时所需填空单词还会在后面出现。
复核全文，对答案进行进一步核查。
改错题
主要考查考生语法能力，包括时态、语态、虚拟语气，一致，非谓语动词用法，从句，限定词，代词，介词等。
技巧：考生只要把多余的单词挑出来就行。多余的单词经常是虚词，所以做题时把注意力集中在冠词、介词、连词、代词、副词等上面。
根据以往的经验，每到题大概有两、三行是对的。所以不要认为每行都有多余的单词，实在找不出来，就填CORRECT。
bec考试真题 第5篇
文章是一篇报告，介绍了公司某段时间的发展状况，总体的势头是良好的，积极向上。
19和20题需要在一起考虑，从整体上把握句子的意思。in line with与一致;on track ：doing or saying things that are likely to be successful or correct步入正轨;on target(射击)准。20空选词关键要将空格前面的those for the corresponding和前面的for this first half对应，这里空格填入的词要能和this first half相匹配，表示时间段，时期，所以是period。因为是半年，所以不选season。整个句子的意思是这半年的营业利润(operating profit)实际上是与去年同期相一致的。
21题，attribute to，表原因，联系整个句子不难做出选择。designate是委任、指派
22题，意思是完成了一个主要的建筑合同，从一个pleasing可以看出感情基调，A和B肯定不选，不是终止也不是结束，finalise最后定下来，定案。
23题，大部分股东都支持、赞同董事会的决定，选support，如果是agree的话后面需要with。
24题，董事会的决定是卖掉公司亏损的工程部。A、B首先排除，做完形填空最忌讳的是把汉语思维和汉语含义带入英文语境中，有的时候宁可选自己从来没有见过的用法，也不要从汉语意思出发强塞一个英文单词进去。sector是(尤指一国经济的)部门、行业，division是(一个机构的)部门。
25和26题，句子的意思是公司将通过把资源集中在建筑活动的扩张上来获得大部分的收益。25题的A和C容易排除，关键是看gain还是earn。earn是通过努力挣到一笔钱(to receive a particular amount of money for the work that you do)，gain是获得或者实现什么(to obtain or achieve something you want or need)，因为是公司的战略，所以用gain更合适一些。
27题，at a critical stage，在一个关键的阶段。
28题，in a position to do 能够做某事。固定搭配
29题，成功招标，bid
30题，give us greater access to markets给我们更大的市场准入
31题，growth strategy，增长策略，追求我们的增长策略。
32题，探索更多的商业机会。inquire询问;deliberate仔细考虑，深思熟虑;
33题，为我们开放新的市场。provide后需要加with

33 A custom B routine C practice D habit
《Business Meeting》，商业会议。文章一共两段，第一段说开会要按照日程安排来进行，第二段说开会要尽量让大家发言，尤其是在会议上沉默寡言的人。
19题，这一题可能会选择arrangement。order和arrangement的中文意思也的确很相像。只有看英文的意思来进行理解。Order:A sequence or arrangement of successive 一系列连续事情的安排。因为这里的意思是保持日程表上的安排，日程表上的安排井井有条且有秩序，应该选择order，比arrangement更合适。
20题，there is no point in doing 做什么事情没有意义。
21题，目录2上的事情还没有处理就谈论日程表上的目录6是没有意义的。选dealt with。cater for是迎合的意思。
22题，这种偏差(指前面说的目录2没完就讨论目录6)会导致开会的人产生混乱。选result in，导致。
23题，如果他们认为什么是不相关的，就会注意力不集中。lose concentration是地道标准的说法，参考一个例句：I was absent minded and lose concentration very
24题，建立一些基本规则。地道的用法就是establish the rules。form rules是指表单规则，design rules是指设计规则。
25题，把自己的评论限制在讨论的话题之下。restrict to限制
26题，主席可以鼓励每个人分别说一会。重点在于理解词组at a time的含义：separately in the specified groups or numbers。看一个例句：He took the stairs two at a
27题，这里考察的是note一个不太常见的用法：to give your attention to something by discussing it or making a written record of it。正好和前面动词discuss相对应，而且做笔记这一点也符合会议的特点。不选remark，因为是开会，更多的是发言、讨论、记笔记，而不是评论。
28题，put forward: suggest, propose 提出。
29题，decision-making process，做决定的过程。
30题，这样可以确保沉默的人在会上也能有发言权。用ensure。不是allow和permit，一直都是允许的，只是没有一个保证的程序。
31题，拥有发言权。say在这里是发言权的意思，动词用have。参考牛津高阶词典上的例句：Can"t you keep quiet for a minute and let me have my say? / The judge usually has the final
have a say in: To have the right to express one"s opinion or cast a vote in a pending
Our boss is friendly and democratic; he always encourages us to have a say in what we will do
32题，in reality在现实中。in contrast对比，in case万一。
33题，往往会上沉默的人能想出好点子，因为他们养成了开口前思考的习惯。in the habit of有什么习惯。固定搭配。

《The Career Forum》，职业论坛。这篇文章其实是一则广告，为这个什么职业论坛做宣传的。
34题，make the most of yourself，固定说法。貌似爱默生的名言：Make the most of yourself,for that is all there is of you。这里UP是多余的。

Achieving a successful merger
However attractive the figures may look on paper, in the long run the success or failure of a merger depends on the human When the agreement has been signed and the accountants have departed, the real problems may only just be If there is a culture clash between the two companies in the way their people work, then all the efforts of the financiers and lawyers to strike a deal may have been in
According to Chris Bolton of KS Management Consultants, 70% of mergers fail to live up to their promise of shareholder value, riot through any failure in economic terms but because the integration of people is Corporates, he explains, concentrate their efforts before a merger on legal, technical and financial They employ a range of experts to obtain the most favourable contract But even at these early stages, people issues must be taken into The strengths and weaknesses of both organisations should be assessed and, if it is a merger of equals, then careful thought should be given to which personnel, from which side, should take on the key
This was the issue in 20XX when the proposed merger between two pharmaceutical companies promised to create one of the largest players in the For both companies the merger was intended to reverse falling market share and shareholder However, although the companies" skill bases were compatible, the chief executives of the two companies could not agree which of them was to head up the new This illustrates the need to compromise if a merger is to take
But even in mergers that do go ahead, there can be culture One way to avoid this is to work with focus groups to see how employees view the existing culture of their In one example, where two global organisations in the food sector were planning to merge, focus groups discovered that the companies displayed very different One was sales-focused, knew exactly what it wanted to achieve and pushed initiatives The other got involved in lengthy discussions, trying out options methodically and making contingency The first responded quickly to changes in the marketplace; the second took longer, but the option it eventually chose was usually the correct Neither company"s approach would have worked for the
The answer is not to adopt one company"s approach, or even to try to incorporate every aspect of both organisations, but to create a totally new This means taking the best from both sides and making a new organisation that everyone can Or almost Inevitably there will be those who cannot adapt to a different Research into the impact of mergers has found that companies with differing management styles are the ones that need to work hardest at creating a new
Another tool that can help to get the right cultural mix is intercultural This involves carrying out research that looks at the culture of a company and the business culture of the country in which it is It identifies how people, money and time are managed in a company, and investigates the business customs of the country and how its politics, economics and history impact on the way business is
13 According to the text, mergers can encounter problems when
A contracts are signed too
B experts cannot predict accurate
C conflicting attitudes cannot be
D staff are opposed to the terms of the
14 According to Chris Bolton, what do many organisations do in preparation for a merger?
A ensure their interests are represented
B give reassurances to shareholders
C consider the effect of a merger on employees
D analyse the varying strengths of their staff
15 The proposed merger of two pharmaceutical groups failed because
A major shareholders were
B there was a fall in the demand for their
C there were problems combining their areas of
D an issue of personal rivalry could not be
16 According to the text, focus groups can help companies to
A develop new
B adopt contingency
C be decisive and react
D evaluate how well matched they
17 Creating a new culture in a newly merged organisation means that
A management styles become more
B there is more chance of the merger
C staff will find it more difficult to adapt to the
D successful elements of the original organisations are
18 According to the text, intercultural analysis will show
A what kind of benefits a merger can lead
B how the national context affects the way a company is
C how long it will take for a company culture to
D what changes companies should make before a merger takes
《Achieving a successful merger》，实现一个成功的并购。文章没有从技术和经济效益的角度来分析并购成功的因素，而是强调了一个在并购中容易被忽视的重要因素：文化冲突。不同的企业文化走到了一起，能否兼容是并购能否成功的关键因素。一个比较著名的例子是当年惠普与康柏的并购。
第十三题，问什么情况下并购会遇到麻烦。答案是A段的最后一句，关键词是culture clash：如果两个公司的员工在工作方式上存在文化冲突，那么金融专家和律师们为了达成交易所做的一切努力都是徒劳的。所以选C：冲突性的态度无法得到解决。Conflicting attitude对应于culture clash。attitude具体指公司员工做事情的方式和态度。
第十四题，问很多机构为并购所做的准备是什么。答案是第二段的这么一句话：Corporates, he explains, concentrate their efforts before a merger on legal, technical and financial matters。公司都把精力集中在法律、技术和金融事务上了。也就是更多的看重经济等方面的利益，而忽视了人的因素。选A：确保他们的利益得到很好的反映，也就是自己的利益有保障。represent在这里的意思是be present or found in something, especially to a particular degree。
第十五题，问这俩医药公司并购失败的原因是什么。答案是第三段的倒数第二句：the chief executives of the two companies could not agree which of them was to head up the new 在谁来领导新的机构的问题上无法达成一致。所以选D：人员竞争问题无法得到解决。Personal rivalry就是指两个领导谁也不服谁。
第十六题，问focus group可以帮助公司干什么。先弄明白focus group的意思，看剑桥高阶的解释：a group of people who have been brought together to discuss a particular subject in order to solve a problem or suggest ideas。处理问题的团体。答案在第四段。这一段是举例说明两个合并公司的文化兼容性问题。经过focus group的调查，这两个公司的做事方式有很大差别，不能兼容。所以这一题的答案是选D：评估他们能否匹配。
第十七题，问在一个新合并的公司里创造新的文化意味着什么。答案是第五段的这么一句：This means taking the best from both sides and making a new organisation that everyone can accept。吸取双方的优点，创造一个所有人都能接受的新组织。每个人都能接受，那么合并成功的可能性会大大增加。选B：合并起作用的几率增加了。
第十八题，跨文化分析能够表明什么。答案是最后一段的最后一句：how its politics, economics and history impact on the way business is 看看这个国家的政治、经济和历史是怎么影响商业行为的。也就是考察宏观的国家背景对微观的经济个体的影响。选B：国家背景怎样影响公司的运行方式。

35题，前后没有用such指代的意思，就是说公司的其他的会计系统。Such多余。
36题，不是从句，不需要if来引导。从there开始也是一个完整的句子，成分很齐全。
37题，try在这里从意思上和用法上都不通。没有尝试的意思，就是要确保(ensure)，而且就算要用try，后面也不能直接跟ensure，好歹用个try to，可惜BEC里没有这种改法。只能把try去掉。
38题，前面有了谓语动词are，后面冒出一个been，这是什么用法，直接用are authorised，表示被授权。
39题，waste time doing，把时间浪费在什么上面，固定搭配，for多余。
40题，query是询问、质问，及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，不用
41题，正确的
42题，谓语动词重复。There is little point in doing so，做什么没有意义，常见的说法，are是多余的。
43题，make do 固定搭配，to多余
44题，正确的
45题，every后面不能直接跟名词的复数，除非是every four minutes这样的用法，所以去掉。

35题，正确的
36题，和上面的部分联系起来作为一个整体来考虑。paper, having already survived five thousand years of technological change, and has proved remarkably 中间的部分是插入语，可以不考虑，所以完整的应该是paper has proved remarkably resilient。主谓宾非常齐全，and是多余的。resilient是适应力强的，有弹力的。

Yet Real Networks is not playing It is trying to encourage the creation of a common multimedia software infrastructure for every kind of file format and device, thus thwarting Microsoft"s ambitions in this promising firm hopes that others in the industry (volunteer programmers, media firms and hardware makers) will take the code, called Helix DNA, mprove it and make it run on new devices, such as mobile phones and home stereos, turning Real Networks" software into an industry Clever licensing terms are supposed to ensure that this standard does not splinter and that the firm still makes

An increasing amount of effort is being dedicated to the appraisal
A
Performance appraisal is on the up and It used to represent the one time of year when getting on with the work was put on hold while enormous quantities of managemen hours were spent in the earnest ritual of rating and ranking Now the practice is even more This of course makes it all the more important how appraisal is Human resources professionals claim that managers should strive for objectivity and thus for feedback rather than But the simple fact of the matter is that the nature of hierarchy distorts the concept of feedback because performance measure are conceived Unfortunately, all too many workers suffer from the injustices that this
B
The notion behind performance appraisal- that workers should be held accountable for their performance-is However, the evidence suggests that the premise is Contrary to assumptions appraisal is not an effective means of performance improvement- it is judgement imposed rather than feedback, a judgement imposed by the Useful feedback , on the other hand, would be information that told both the manager and worker how well the work system functioned, and suggested ways to make it
C
Within the production system at the car manufacturer Toyota, there is nothing that is recognizable as performance Every operation in the system has an associated The measure has been worked out between the operators and their In every case, the measure is related to the purpose of the That measure is the basis of feedback to the manager and worker Toyota’s basic idea is expressed in the axiom “bad news first” . Both managers and workers are psychologically safe in the knowledge that it is the system- not the worker –that is the primary influence on It is management’s responsibility to ensure that the workers operate in a system that facilitates their
D
In many companies , performance appraisal springs from misguided as To judge achievement, managers use date about each worker’s activity, not an evaluation of the process or system’s achievement of The result is that performance appraisal involves managers’ judgement overruling their staff’s, ignoring the true influences on Thus the appraisal experience becomes a question of pleasing the boss, particularly in meetings, which is psychologically unsafe and socially driven, determining who is “in” and who is “ out”.
E
When judgement is replaced by feedback in the true sense, organizations will have a lot more time to devote to their customers and their No time will be wasted in appraisal . This requires a fundamental shift in the way we think about the organization of performance appraisals, which almost certainly will not be forthcoming from the human resources

Managing upwards，打理同上司的关系。
19题，report to，对什么。。。负责，隶属;从属。用在这里句子意思正好：处于上升阶段的个人需要同他们所从属的人处理好关系。A、B的词后面都接of，account to 是解释的意思，用在这里意思不对。
20题，联系此空上下文，应该是说处理与下属的关系。deal with后接somebody是表示处理和某人的关系。A、B意思不对，C是及物动词，后面不需要with。
21题，promote促进，推动。promote the idea，推动某个想法。
22题，根据意思选词。处理与上司的关系不需要比上司更聪明。其他几个词用在此处的话都有些怪异，很容易排除。
23题，respect，指方面。与aspect同义。常见的用法。
24题，这个空要联系上下文，并且参考后面的guide。“ he or she may have taught you almost everything you know”，也就是说TA会对你的工作进行很多指导，因为有taught，所以不是supporter或者helper，选leader又感觉拉远了距离，因此选adviser。
25题，一个让人头疼的商业英语固定词组。line of business，有业务和经营产品的意思。提供几个例句就很好理解含义了：
We specialize in this line of business我们专门经营此项服务;
Does this item come under your line of business? 我想知道这种产品属您经营的范围吗?
You meet some very interesting people in my line of business干我们这行，你会遇到很多有趣的人。
26题，根据前后文意思，选factors，因素。
27题，put off一般表示延迟，但它还有一个不太出名的意思是阻碍。see off，送行;keep off,远离;take off，起飞。
28题，根据意思选refer to，提及，描述。
29题，react to，固定搭配，对什么作出反应。用在这里意思也吻合。
30题，the most successful way to (30) your working life，意思上应该填入表示经营、管理等的意思，run有这个意思。C和D用法不对，forward something是指转发邮件。
31题，appreciation，，表示感激之情。
32题，on one’s behalf，站在某人的立场上，为某人的利益。此处的意思是对他为你所做出的努力表示感激。
33题，role，职能，角色。为经理腾出空来扮演其他的角色。position是位置，位置一直是经理，没别的;act是行为，法案。

文章是一篇报告，介绍了公司某段时间的发展状况，总体的势头是良好的，积极向上。
19和20题需要在一起考虑，从整体上把握句子的意思。in line with与一致;on track ：doing or saying things that are likely to be successful or correct步入正轨;on target(射击)准。20空选词关键要将空格前面的those for the corresponding和前面的for this first half对应，这里空格填入的词要能和this first half相匹配，表示时间段，时期，所以是period。因为是半年，所以不选season。整个句子的意思是这半年的营业利润(operating profit)实际上是与去年同期相一致的。
21题，attribute to，表原因，联系整个句子不难做出选择。designate是委任、指派
22题，意思是完成了一个主要的建筑合同，从一个pleasing可以看出感情基调，A和B肯定不选，不是终止也不是结束，finalise最后定下来，定案。
23题，大部分股东都支持、赞同董事会的决定，选support，如果是agree的话后面需要with。
24题，董事会的决定是卖掉公司亏损的工程部。A、B首先排除，做完形填空最忌讳的是把汉语思维和汉语含义带入英文语境中，有的时候宁可选自己从来没有见过的用法，也不要从汉语意思出发强塞一个英文单词进去。sector是(尤指一国经济的)部门、行业，division是(一个机构的)部门。
25和26题，句子的意思是公司将通过把资源集中在建筑活动的扩张上来获得大部分的收益。25题的A和C容易排除，关键是看gain还是earn。earn是通过努力挣到一笔钱(to receive a particular amount of money for the work that you do)，gain是获得或者实现什么(to obtain or achieve something you want or need)，因为是公司的战略，所以用gain更合适一些。
27题，at a critical stage，在一个关键的阶段。
28题，in a position to do 能够做某事。固定搭配
29题，成功招标，bid
30题，give us greater access to markets给我们更大的市场准入
31题，growth strategy，增长策略，追求我们的增长策略。
32题，探索更多的商业机会。inquire询问;deliberate仔细考虑，深思熟虑;
33题，为我们开放新的市场。provide后需要加with
