第一題，教練和員工之間的接觸不能解決工作中的所有困難。答案是C段的這么一句：Intheory,thecoachingrelationshipshouldprovideanswerstoeveryproblem,butinpracticeitfallsshortofthis.理論上，培訓(xùn)可以提供所有問題的答案。但是實(shí)踐中達(dá)不到這樣。Fallshortof是關(guān)鍵詞。

第二題，討論某些情況如果再度出現(xiàn)的話怎么樣可以處理的更好。答案是A段的這么一句：analysinghowtheyweremanagedandhowtheymightbedealtwithmoreeffectivelyonsubsequentoccasions.分析應(yīng)該如何進(jìn)行處理并且在接下來的情況下怎樣可以處理的更有效。這里的dealtwithmoreeffectively對(duì)應(yīng)于題干中的betterhandled，onsubsequentoccasions.也就是occuragain。

第三題，教練鼓勵(lì)員工將所學(xué)應(yīng)用到日常的工作中。答案是B段的這么一句：helpsindividualstouseformallylearntknowledgeinday-to-dayworkandmanagementsituations.幫助個(gè)人將學(xué)到的正式知識(shí)用在日常工作和管理情況下。這里的day-to-dayworkandmanagementsituations就是題干中的routineworksituations，whathasbeentaught也就是formallylearntknowledge。

第四題，培訓(xùn)為在現(xiàn)有崗位上不高興的個(gè)人提供了新的興趣。答案是D段的這么一句：providingaddedjobsatisfactiontomanagerswhofeeltheyarestuckintheirpresentjobs。對(duì)感覺自己在現(xiàn)有崗位上受困的經(jīng)理們提供附加的工作滿足感。這里的stuckintheirpresentjobs就是題干中的unhappyintheircurrentposition，addedjobsatisfaction可以對(duì)應(yīng)于題干中的newinterest。

第五題，培訓(xùn)提供了一個(gè)有力的、支持性的討論工作表現(xiàn)的環(huán)境。答案是A段的：Italsoallowssuccessesandfailurestobeevaluatedinanon-threateningatmosphere.它允許成功和失敗在一個(gè)沒有威脅的氣氛下被評(píng)估。成功和失敗也就是performance，supportiveenvironment可以對(duì)應(yīng)于non-threateningatmosphere。

第六題，員工被要求分析他們自己并且培養(yǎng)出更強(qiáng)的自知。有必要理解下self-awareness的含義，不能簡單的從中文理解成自我意識(shí)，看英文解釋：knowledgeandunderstandingofyourself。所以答案是B段的這么一句：requiresthemtoconsidertheirownbehaviourandquestiontheirreasonsfordoingthings.要求他們考慮自己的行為并且思考這么做的理由。considertheirownbehaviour可以對(duì)應(yīng)于題干中的analysethemselves，思考這么做的理由也是為了進(jìn)一步增進(jìn)對(duì)自己的認(rèn)識(shí)。

第七題，培訓(xùn)可以使得公司對(duì)某個(gè)領(lǐng)域的技術(shù)缺失迅速做出反應(yīng)。答案是C段的最后一句：indicatehowemployeesshoulddealwithchallengingsituations,allatshortnotice.指出員工怎樣處理有挑戰(zhàn)性的情況，在短時(shí)間內(nèi)。Atshortnotice是一接到通知就，短時(shí)間內(nèi)的意思,可以對(duì)應(yīng)這一題的respondrapidly，challengingsituations可以指代題干中的alackofexpertiseinacertainarea.BEC中級(jí)真題詳細(xì)解析：第二輯TEST1PART2自助餐領(lǐng)域BUFFETZONE

FOnhearingthis,RobertsonimmediatelycontactedalloftheirclientsandofferedtheservicesofGrapevineCaterers.

GInstead,shestudiedaccountancyafterleavinguniversity,andasteadyifunspectacularprofessionalpathseemedset.《BuffetZone》，自助餐區(qū)域，在這篇文章里的意思應(yīng)該是自助餐領(lǐng)域，講的是一個(gè)在自助餐領(lǐng)域取得了驚人成績的杰出女性創(chuàng)業(yè)的故事。這套題目不難，尤其比起第四輯的題目。文章本身有很清晰的故事發(fā)展脈絡(luò)，選項(xiàng)和原文的對(duì)應(yīng)也比較明顯。文章的幾個(gè)段落是按照時(shí)間先后、故事發(fā)生的先后進(jìn)行的，很明確。第一段是總括，第二段是講的創(chuàng)業(yè)起步階段的一些困難以及應(yīng)對(duì)困難的對(duì)策，第三段是公司好轉(zhuǎn)后的辦公室重置（relocation），第四、五段是公司的競爭情況，最后一段總結(jié)。

第八題，前面說一時(shí)沖動(dòng)她買下了這個(gè)外賣餐館（takeaway），事實(shí)上那個(gè)時(shí)候她對(duì)餐飲業(yè)一無所知。空格后面說的是這段時(shí)間很困難，但是對(duì)獲得所需要的經(jīng)驗(yàn)卻是很有必要的。所以第八題的空格部分應(yīng)該填入跟學(xué)習(xí)、積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)有關(guān)的內(nèi)容。D選型最吻合，Itwasadramaticlearningcurve，這里的learning是關(guān)鍵詞，很明顯的答案信號(hào)。還有verysmallamountsofmoneywereearnedatfirst，atfirst也是關(guān)鍵詞。

第九題，空格前面說largenumbersofofficeworkerswantingtakeawayfoodfortheirlunches，大量的辦公室員工需要外賣食品做午飯，這里的wanting是個(gè)很關(guān)鍵的詞?？崭窈竺嬖掍h一轉(zhuǎn)，說曾經(jīng)一度5公里內(nèi)有26家食品商店，但是經(jīng)濟(jì)轉(zhuǎn)變了，一條街都空了（blocksstartedtobecomevacant）。從上下文來分析，第九空的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該和辦公室員工的外賣需求有關(guān)，同時(shí)帶有轉(zhuǎn)折意思。C選項(xiàng)完全符合這一條件：但是這種需求是短暫的，不久，逐漸增長的競爭使得贏得利潤變得更加困難。

第十題，上文說經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢轉(zhuǎn)變了，所以Robertson決定從事多樣化的經(jīng)營。后面說這種做法永遠(yuǎn)的改變了公司的經(jīng)營方式。所以第十空應(yīng)該填入相應(yīng)的對(duì)策，怎么樣來應(yīng)對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢的轉(zhuǎn)變。符合這一條件的是B和E，都是關(guān)于解決問題的，但是B選項(xiàng)所說的招募競爭對(duì)手的餐廳經(jīng)理在上下文內(nèi)容中沒有提到。應(yīng)該選D，為商業(yè)大廈送飯，正好對(duì)應(yīng)下一段所說的。

第十一題，這一題才應(yīng)該選B，前面說競爭對(duì)手給自己造成了很大的困擾。但是Robertson卻不是那么容易屈服的人。后面說部分原因是這個(gè)，營業(yè)額翻倍了。所以中間應(yīng)該也是填入對(duì)策。和競爭對(duì)手有關(guān)的，應(yīng)該選B，B的particular是個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞，rivalcompany也很明顯。

第十二題，前面說Robertson想收購一個(gè)競爭對(duì)手，但是沒成功，結(jié)果人家公司自己破產(chǎn)倒閉了。后面來了一個(gè)manyaccepted，可以看出這中間應(yīng)該填入的是人家公司破產(chǎn)后Robertson的一些舉措。F滿足這一條件：一聽到這些，Robertson馬上聯(lián)系他們的客戶并且提供了自己公司的服務(wù)。BEC中級(jí)真題詳細(xì)解析：第二輯TEST1PART3怎樣開發(fā)自己HOWTOMARKETYOURSELF

13題，問第一段MarySpillane認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)開發(fā)他們自己的原因是什么。第一段里這個(gè)專家認(rèn)為就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)在減少，job不存在了，存在的是work，在未來十年所有人都將成為才華和能力的提供者（supplier），而不是員工（staff），老板將變成自己的客戶。從專家的這段話可以看出她認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)開發(fā)自己的原因是適應(yīng)就業(yè)市場的發(fā)展，也就是D答案所說的。A在原文沒有提到，B的理解有誤，原文說thereisonlyonefirmtojoinforlife:Meplc。生活中只有一個(gè)值得加入的公司：自我公司。這句的意思還是說人們要學(xué)會(huì)開發(fā)自己，而不是將來有公司需要。C在原文中也沒有提到。

14題，問在創(chuàng)造個(gè)人品牌的時(shí)候，很重要的是什么。答案是第二段的最后一句：Youhavetodecidewhatcentralvaluesyouwanttoproject,andalsowhatmayneedtoalterfromsituationtosituation.你必須決定自己要建立的中心價(jià)值什么，同時(shí)還有哪些是需要隨著環(huán)境的改變而改變的。A的表述正確，根據(jù)環(huán)境來改變事情。B不對(duì)，不是說決定人們想要你呈現(xiàn)的形象，而是自己決定自己想要建立的中心價(jià)值。C、D在原文都沒有提到。

15題，問第三段可以了解到Spillane的什么事。第三段介紹說這個(gè)女人曾經(jīng)經(jīng)營過一家化妝品公司，但其實(shí)她還擁有信息科學(xué)和政治的碩士學(xué)位。當(dāng)在化妝品公司的時(shí)候她試圖把學(xué)歷的一面深藏不露，但是現(xiàn)在換了一家公司，她迫不及待的想將這一面給展現(xiàn)出來。從這些可以看出這個(gè)女人的思路：需要哪一面就表現(xiàn)哪一面。15題的答案是C：她擁有的素質(zhì)很多人都不知道。A不對(duì)，沒有提到尷尬，B不對(duì)，在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候才會(huì)去談?wù)撟约旱膶W(xué)歷背景，D在原文也沒有提到。

16題，問Spillane指出了現(xiàn)在工作公司的什么問題。答案是第四段的這么一句：theydon'thaveanyideaofwhattheirbrandshouldbe,andarestillverytraditionalevenwhentalkingaboutbecomingmodern.對(duì)于自己的品牌應(yīng)該是怎么樣的他們沒有任何概念，同時(shí)在談到變得現(xiàn)代時(shí)依然很傳統(tǒng)。這一段是講這個(gè)公司在轉(zhuǎn)變時(shí)的一些問題，他們投入了巨大的財(cái)力想重新樹立自己的品牌，但是沒有一個(gè)深層次的態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變，是很難有實(shí)效的。答案是B，不知如何重新樹立自己的品牌。A不對(duì)，沒有說不愿意接受，C不對(duì)，公司投入巨大，D不對(duì)，不是不愿意現(xiàn)代化，而是不知道怎么現(xiàn)代化，說要現(xiàn)代化還是顯得很傳統(tǒng)。

17題，問對(duì)于想要重新樹立自己品牌的個(gè)人，Spillane的建議是什么。答案是第五段的最后一句：Alwayshaveanup-to-the-minuteCVreadytoprintout,refreshingiteveryfewmonthswithyourmostrecentachievements時(shí)刻要有一個(gè)準(zhǔn)備打印的最新的簡歷，每隔幾個(gè)月用你最新的成績來更新一次。總結(jié)起來就是B選項(xiàng)所說的“固定更新關(guān)于自己能做什么的書面證明”。

18題，問為了能成功的重新樹立自己的個(gè)人品牌，很重要的是什么。最后一段強(qiáng)調(diào)了人應(yīng)該了解自己的幾個(gè)方面：公我（publicself）、私我（privateself）、盲點(diǎn)和潛力,并且分別介紹了四種方面的含義。答案是這么一句，需要提煉總結(jié)：Bydecidingwhatimageyouwantotherpeopletosee,emphasisingmoreofyourprivateselfandsortingoutafewblindspots。更多的強(qiáng)調(diào)私我，并且挑選出一些盲點(diǎn)?？偨Y(jié)起來就是B所說的：學(xué)會(huì)怎樣全面利用自己性格的各個(gè)方面。

理解一下D選項(xiàng)一個(gè)詞組的含義：modelyourselfon(after)somebody：totrytobelikesomeoneelsebecauseyouadmirethemBEC中級(jí)真題詳細(xì)解析：第二輯TEST1PART4Planning這篇文章是關(guān)于公司計(jì)劃的（planning），做計(jì)劃時(shí)的過程和需要考慮的一些因素。

全文的第一句話說公司做的決定是一個(gè)年度過程（annualprocess）。接下來談到原因。19題，makeup是組成、捏造、化妝的意思，用在這里和accounting搭配不上；carryout是執(zhí)行（todosomethingthatneedstobeorganizedandplanned）；bringabout是帶來，使發(fā)生（tomakesomethinghappen）；putdown放下，鎮(zhèn)壓。從意思上看，應(yīng)該選B，carryout。

事實(shí)上，carryoutaccountingon…..basis是金融英語里專業(yè)且地道的說法。最常見的一種是carryoutaccountingontheaccrualbasis執(zhí)行權(quán)責(zé)發(fā)生制。相應(yīng)的，20題選basis，公司時(shí)在一年的基礎(chǔ)上執(zhí)行會(huì)計(jì)準(zhǔn)則的。

21題，這里需要理解上下文的含義。這一整句話仍然是在說明公司進(jìn)行planning的原因。正是因?yàn)橄嗨频哪Ｊ綍?huì)在市場上出現(xiàn)，所以公司才需要進(jìn)行計(jì)劃。選patterns是最符合原義的。

22題，很明顯，這里填入的詞是表示批準(zhǔn)、通過之類的，是指年前三個(gè)月完整的計(jì)劃就會(huì)被通過。從中文意思上看，A、B、C三個(gè)詞都是符合的。具體看英文解釋對(duì)幾個(gè)詞的用法進(jìn)行區(qū)分。

approval：whenaplan,decision,orpersonisofficiallyaccepted批準(zhǔn)，正式的

eg:Thepresidenthasalreadygivenhisapprovaltotheplan.

permission：whensomeoneisofficiallyallowedtodosomething允許，也是正式的

eg:Youmustaskpermissionbeforetakinganyphotographsinsidethechurch.

consent：permissiontodosomething不那么正式的允許

eg:Hetookthecarwithouttheowner'sconsent.

這一題是講的計(jì)劃被批準(zhǔn)或者通過，所以用approval。

23題，這里的前后文的意思是計(jì)劃貫穿全年始終，所以經(jīng)理們需要回顧過去，展望未來。后面的lookingforwardto是個(gè)答案信號(hào)，相對(duì)應(yīng)的前面應(yīng)該選review，根據(jù)目標(biāo)回顧過程。24題比較簡單，理解了句子含義不難做出選擇?，F(xiàn)在發(fā)生的事情將會(huì)影響未來的目標(biāo)和計(jì)劃。選influence。

25題，從這個(gè)句子來看，填入的詞是應(yīng)該可以直接和market搭配的。Predictthemarket是商英里地道常見的用法，市場預(yù)測。

26題，往他們的操作中增加一點(diǎn)靈活性，這樣可以對(duì)突然發(fā)生的變化做出反應(yīng)。

Operation:theworkoractivitiesdonebyabusinessororganization,ortheprocessofdoingthiswork.

27題，respondto對(duì)…..做出反應(yīng)。

28題，為了開發(fā)公司的長期目標(biāo)，需要一年以上的時(shí)間來計(jì)劃。從意思和用法上，只能選擇develop。

29題，inmarketterms用市場術(shù)語來說。固定用法。

30題，positioninthemarket，市場上的地位。前面已經(jīng)暗示了這里要用市場術(shù)語來表述，positioninthemarket就是固定表達(dá)

（positioningisthatexclusivespaceyourbrandownsinthemarketplace.It'srelevantandcompellingtoyourcustomers,anddifferentfromyourcompetitors.）

31題，只需要理解preferred的意思：首選的

32題，想讓這個(gè)航空公司成為特定路線上商務(wù)旅客的首選，必須先計(jì)劃好相關(guān)的步驟。按步驟來擬定計(jì)劃，最后才能成功，所以選step。33題，需要理解四個(gè)詞組的含義。

handover:togivesomethingtosomeonewithyourhand,especiallybecausetheyhaveaskedforitorshouldhaveit.交出

drawup:toprepareawrittendocument,suchasalistorcontract起草

（drawupplans/proposal）

e.g:Hewasaskedtodrawupproposalsforreformingthelaw

34題，appoint是及物動(dòng)詞，后面直接接人，表示任命，itself在這里多余；

35題，involvedoing，in多余，這是常見的地道的表述。看個(gè)例句：Whatdoresearchjobsinvolvedoing?

36題，正確

37題，這行要聯(lián)系下一行，從整體上來體會(huì)句子的含義。介詞through表方式，連詞while是多余的。這句的意思是通過對(duì)20個(gè)員工的管理和激勵(lì)，你會(huì)成為管理客戶期望的焦點(diǎn)。

38題，be和seen在這里謂語動(dòng)詞重復(fù)了，必須去掉一個(gè)。從意思上看，是說你可以成為什么，而不是你可以看見什么。所以用youwillbe,seen多余。

39題，keepingthemuptodate…..現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語，是對(duì)前面的補(bǔ)充說明。介詞from在這里是多余的。

40題，正確

41題，with后面直接接賓語，代詞those是多余的

42題，inreturn是固定搭配，表示相應(yīng)的，反過來，for多余

43題，offersb.sth固定搭配，with多余。offer與with搭配時(shí)是offersth.withsb.

44題，中間的ifappropriate是插入語，可以不予考慮，整個(gè)句子就是assistancewithrelocationexpenses是主語，is是謂語，后面是賓語，主謂賓都很齊全，that是多余的

第一題，有時(shí)堅(jiān)持進(jìn)一步的解釋是很有必要的。答案是B段的這么一句：Itmaymeanquizzingthespeakerforadditionalinformationorforclarification-itisalwaysbettertoaskthantocontinueregardlessandgetthingswrong它可能意味著為了進(jìn)一步的信息和說明去詢問說話的人——問總比不顧情況的繼續(xù)并且把事情辦錯(cuò)的好。這里的additionalinformation對(duì)應(yīng)于furtherexplanation.

第二題，不能在別人還在說的時(shí)候就開始關(guān)注自己的回應(yīng)。答案是C段的第一句：Themostcommonbadhabitwehaveistostartthinkingofwhatwearegoingtosayaboutthesubjectlongbeforetheotherspeakerhasfinished。我們最常見的壞習(xí)慣就是在講話者遠(yuǎn)還沒結(jié)束的時(shí)候就開始思考我們將對(duì)這個(gè)話題說些什么。這里的beforetheotherspeakerhasfinished就是othersarestillspeaking，focusonyourresponse就是startthinkingofwhatwearegoingtosayaboutthesubject。

第三題，人們不愿意承認(rèn)自己沒有聽好。答案是A段的第一句：Toooftenweaccuseothersofnotlistening,pretendingthatweourselvesarefaultless,yetinourheartsweknowthatmanyofthemistakeswemakecomeaboutbecausewehaven'tlistenedcarefullyenough。我們經(jīng)常指責(zé)別人沒有好好聽，假裝我們自己是無可指責(zé)的，其實(shí)在我們心里知道，很多我們所犯的錯(cuò)誤都是由于聽的不夠仔細(xì)。這句的意思就是說我們心里知道什么原因，但是口頭上喜歡指責(zé)別人。也就是第三題題干說的不愿意承認(rèn)。

第四題，從說話者的視角去考慮問題是有好處的。答案是D段的這么一句：Equallyimportantlyyoushouldputyourselfintheotherperson'splace,bothintellectuallyandemotionally。同樣重要的是你必須把自己置于別人的位置上，既是智力上的也是情感上的。這里的putyourselfinotherperson’splace就是seeingthingsfromthespeaker’sperspective。

第五題，對(duì)說話者的敏銳觀察可以提高傾聽技巧。答案是D段的這么一句：It'shelpfultorememberthatthewayspeoplemoveandpositionthemselveswhiletheyarespeakingcanrevealagreatdealaboutwhattheyaresaying。記住說話人的移動(dòng)方式和姿勢是很有用的，這些可以揭示出很多他們所說話的信息。連說話的姿勢都要記住，當(dāng)然是keenobservation了，helpful可以對(duì)應(yīng)于support。

第六題，當(dāng)別人在說話的時(shí)候去想著另外一件事是很危險(xiǎn)的。答案是B段的這么一句：ifyouallowyourmindtowanderontosomethingelse,evenforafewminutes,you'llmisswhatthespeakerissaying如果你讓自己走神了，哪怕是僅有的幾分鐘，你也將錯(cuò)過別人所說的話。allowyourmindwanderontosomethingelse也就是thinkaboutadifferentissue.

第七題，人們不介意聽到他們自己的觀點(diǎn)被總結(jié)。答案是C段的這么一句：Infactitisoftenworthexplainingthemainideaofwhatyouhavejustbeentoldbeforegoingontomakeyourownpoints.Nobodyisoffendedbythis事實(shí)上在作出自己觀點(diǎn)之前往往很值得解釋下剛剛所聽到內(nèi)容的主要觀點(diǎn)。沒有人會(huì)被這個(gè)所冒犯。explainingthemainideaofwhatyouhavejustbeentold也就是hearingtheirownviewssummarised。donotmind也就是nobodyisoffendedbythis。BEC中級(jí)真題詳細(xì)解析：第二輯TEST2PART2找到合適的人Whenasmallcompanygrows,managersmusttakeonmanynewroles.Besidestheday-to-dayrunningofthebusiness,theyfindthemselvesresponsiblefor,amongotherthings,relationswithoutsideinvestors,increasedlevelsofcashflowand,hardestofall,recruitment.

GYetfewaretrainedandcompetentforallaspectsofthetask.Findingtherightpeople，尋找合適的人。是說的小公司在起步發(fā)展階段找到合適人才的難度和重要性。第一段總論小公司的經(jīng)理們往往身兼數(shù)職，而其中最有難度的，還是招人。文章介紹了找到合適的人應(yīng)該注意的問題，并且說招人這種事不可能過度寄希望于招聘機(jī)構(gòu)。

第八題，這一題的前面說招人相當(dāng)?shù)睦щy，后面一個(gè)asDanBakerexplains，說曾經(jīng)找過招聘機(jī)構(gòu)，結(jié)果人家要提前收錢并且也沒有提供合適的人，最后還是得靠自己。從這里的as…explains和后面的解釋可以看出，第八空的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是和招聘機(jī)構(gòu)有關(guān)，招聘機(jī)構(gòu)并不能滿足公司的需要。選項(xiàng)C正好滿足這一特點(diǎn)：招聘看起來像是個(gè)很明顯的適合交外辦理的任務(wù)，但是這個(gè)公司同招聘機(jī)構(gòu)打交道的經(jīng)歷不那么的鼓舞人。wasnotencouraging是關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。

第九題，這一段都是講招人的決策不夠科學(xué)。基于簡歷或者是簡短的面試，很少有明確的準(zhǔn)則。第九空的后面是Thiskindofapproachtorecruitmentoftenhasunhappyconsequences?？梢姷诰趴盏膬?nèi)容還是和招聘的方法有關(guān)，并且是負(fù)面的。B選項(xiàng)符合這一條件：通常（moreoftenthannot是often的意思，插入語），做決定的人將候選人身上的不同素質(zhì)按優(yōu)先順序給排好，或者依賴于猜測。

第十題，這一題的后面說thismeansthesmallcompanymanagersthemselveshavetodevotemoretimeandenergytorecruitment。這意味著小公司自己要多花時(shí)間和精力在招人上。這里的thismeans的this是個(gè)暗示，可以看出第十題這里應(yīng)該填入的是一些不太有利的因素，使得公司只有
