3.BEC剑桥商务英语中级阅读理解练习题 篇三

关于讲义

新东方的音频讲义帮助了我，我是在大家网上下载的，免费的，受益匪浅。对于第一次考BEC的同学来说，迅速的掌握这门考试的规律和基本常识是很重要的，听讲义就是一个快捷的方法，这会省去很多不必要的麻烦，解决我们在复习中遇到的很多困惑。比如是死扣教材好还是把真题多做几遍好？当然是后者。考试的写作是多些辞藻好还是简洁准确好？当然是后者。讲义会给我们一个比较系统的复习指导。

关于教材

教材一共10个单元，由于我复习时间的紧迫，只看了5个单元。我复习的时候用记号笔把词组和词汇标出来，课后练习是考试题型的都做了，范文照着写了一遍。

还是建议复习的朋友把教材要看至少1遍的。复习教材要与经科版的同步辅导一起看，效果比较好。辅导书有答案解析，还把课文中的重点词汇和词组总结了出来，很方便。复习教材有3点好处。

1、熟悉词汇。复习时间比较紧张的话，词汇书背不过来，但是如果没有商务词汇的准备，做起真题来遇到的一些词组和词汇的商务用法会让人感到莫名其妙。其实看过了教材就会知道，真题里很多商务用法就是教材课文中出现的。

2、熟悉考试的题型。我觉得老外的教学还是很科学的，在教材的第一部分，有introduction，对考试进行介绍，每一单元都有针对考试题型的练习，虽然难度不大，但是关键是找个感觉。第5单元和第6单元中间有EXAM FOCUS，对应试进行系统介绍。

3、熟悉考试的风格。认真把教材的听力至少听1遍，把写作范文背一背，把阅读看一看，这都有助于为做真题做准备。

关于真题

真题就不用说了，太重要了，说它多重要都不过分。虽然咱们是想学习商务英语，但是目的还是一个：通过考试。所以真题是重中之重，而且要早做多做。有的同学复习战线拉得比较长，那么真题抻着做就行。切忌老早就开始咔咔背单词，抠教材，最后一个月真题还没做，这有点像传说中的：起个大早，赶个晚集。我就是有点犯了这样的错误。我做的是2、3、4辑。

其实真题正常速度是2天做一套，从做题到对答案，到改正，到研究题目。所以一周差不多做完1本，这还是每天都做，但不是每天10小时都看商务英语。我后来复习的时间不太够了，就每天做一套，感觉时间很紧张，所以建议大家2天做一套，算上模拟题一共16套，真题至少做两遍，所以至少要有一个半月的时间专门来研究真题。

关于阅读

阅读的题型和四六级不太一样，所以要掌握一定的做题技巧。

Part one

我从讲义里听来的方法是，先把7个句子读一遍，然后读文章，遇到和前面7个句子匹配的，就标出来句子的序号，这样便于查找。文章里一般不会出现和句子相同的词，一般是找近义词，或是句子中是某个词，文章中则用词组表达。有时候一遍找不全还得返工。所以熟悉一些常用的表达和近义表达比较有用。

Part two

这是匹配题，本人认为比较有难度，还有运气的成分在里面。有时感觉好了全都正确，有时会错一多半。这个做题的技巧就比较难说，主要就是看上下文，感觉一下语言的趋势，还有代词的提示，这个具体的规律我也说不好。

Part three

这就是大家都熟悉的题型了，和四级难度差不多。英国人就是比较守规矩的民族，基本上每段话一个问题，按顺序来，基本上也是会做个同意替换。我做题时会把关于题目的句子划出来，这样便于检查。

Part four

这就是我们熟悉的完形填空，就是词汇的考察，要想正确率高一些就要首先熟悉教材的词组，然后真题中的词组都真真正正的掌握，有时真题中的词组会重复出现，我记得考试中好像也出现了，所以白拿的分一定要拿到。再有时间可以看看词汇书，不过这个可能收效比较慢，但是对于学习本身来说是有好处的。

Part five

就是每个句子删掉一个多余的词，比四六级还要简单一些。基本的语法大家都是没有问题的，做题时需要单个句子和整个句子结合起来看，做了一遍真题你就会发现基本的几类错误了。关于写作

写作有几点需要注意：

1、多模仿。真题集后面有band4,band5的好范文一定要多模仿，争取给背下来，至少也把

好的表达给背下来，对考试很有帮助的。

2、做真题时写作一定要跟着做，有的同学可能会只做阅读和听力，写作和口语等快考试了

再做，这是很危险的，到时候突击可来不及。

3、与四六级不同，商务英语是应用型考试，写作讲究的是简洁和准确。不要受四六级考试的习惯影响，什么句子越长越好，再来几个从句中含从句，这不是BEC的风格。每种表达争取按套路来，适当的加些副词形容词，从句以简单明了为好，用词要准确，教材和真题范文中出现过的词就足够用了。

4、格式也比较重要。Part one 的格式比较简单，part two的报告和提案（proposal，这次考

试就考得这个）格式是一样的，就是Introduction、findings,conclusion,recommendations,最好是按这个格式写。英国人是比较讲规矩的。

5、有可能的话尽量加一些商务的词汇和情景，说白了就是写的得像那么回事，就把它当成是给老板看的东西，不能写的像外行。咱们好歹也是学了一把商务英语，也学着做把商务人士。比如一些措施或事件的原因要有其合理性，这次考试的part one我记得不太准了，好像是要改变广告策略，我写的原因是因为刚做的消费者问卷调查显示原来的广告策略不适用了。大家应该会想出更好的原因来。而且我发现真题中那种band5写的商务情景都比较逼真。

关于听力

商务英语的听力应该是很多同学比较头疼的，很重的英音，让我们经常接触美语的中国学生来说很不习惯，我刚开始做真题是心说：哇塞，他说的是英语吗！

那么关键的办法就是多听，每次做真题我听力都会听上4、5遍才会完全熟悉。我在真题集上把涉及答案的词汇用记号笔标出来，经常翻看，这就是听力高频词汇。

Part one 的听力其实不难应对，每个需要填空的词汇他就会读的加重一点、慢一点，但是这也需要平时多练，因为填进去的词汇大多是商务词汇，如果不熟悉的话，说的再慢也听不懂。Part two 我是越做越感觉有趣的，其实这是比较有内容的一个题目，要想答对其实还是一点：听懂了。有的同学会说这不是废话吗，听懂了谁不会啊。实际上就是这个道理。

1、做题的时候要全神贯注，一般前几句都会是埋伏，刚开始听到的一般都与真正的答案无

关，而且中间都会有些转折句、让步句，一般答案会集中在一句且仅仅集中在一句，所以要精神高度集中。

2、熟悉商务情景。做题时要积累，这类的商务情景一般会发生哪些状况，这样考试中遇到

熟悉的情景就会比较有底。

Part three

这就是我们比较熟悉的题型，我的经验是，考试时，在录音读题目要求的时候不要东张西望，抓紧时间把题干和选项看一遍，我的阅读速度可能比较慢，一般我看不完，但是能看多少看多少，这样你在听听力时，听到答案句子就会反应过来，要不然耳朵听着，眼睛看着，一会就应接不暇了，自己就慌了。

其实听力是个功夫活，重在重复，BEC给我的巨大帮助就是让我提高了听力，我很感谢它。关于口语

我感觉我的口语就是复习的时间晚了些，到快考试2周时才开始练，我要感谢我的朋友小F，她是去年考的中级，考的B，她陪我练得口语，给了我很多帮助和指导。口语这个东西就是得说出来，而且要找个人说出来，想起来很容易，其实说出来是又是另一种情形了。

我记得第一天和我朋友练时，是在她的寝室里，我就是对着她说都会很紧张。我是老友记看过5遍的人，自认为口语说起来还是比较有感觉的，但是真正说出来完全不是那么回事。我在说时总会有“嗯，嗯”这样的语气词，嘴和脑袋配合的不好，头脑中想的，嘴巴跟不上趟。多练几次，自己有了一个表达的答题思路就好了。

还是多掌握些商务表达，推荐经科版的《商务英语口试必备手册》，考试的内容在里面都能找到或是启发思路。

平时多听听BBC，最好学学英音，其实英音是很好听的，说起来有一种很高贵的感觉。语音要尽量纯正，这样考试时印象分也是能多拿一些。

关于5月28日这一天

考试的这一天终于到来了，丑媳妇总要见公婆，复习的怎么样也只能赶鸭子上架了。我在考试前把阅读的完形填空和改错，写作，听力的第一部分，都又看了一遍。由于是第二天考口语，所以第一天就是笔试了。

我在取准考证的那天就把考场提前侦查好了，所以考试当天就直奔考场。

考试时是阅读、写作、听力，每一部分都是分别把答题纸收上去，阅读和听力的答题纸全用铅笔，写作的答题纸全用水性笔。这是需要注意的地方，其实到时候听监考老师指挥就行了。阅读第一部分觉得比较容易，但是到了匹配时我就慢下来了，到后来改错答得比较匆忙，没有时间检查了。大家平时做阅读一定不能说就是1 hour,因为考试时还要涂答题卡哦，都要在一个小时之内完成。

写作答的比较爽，自认为发挥出了平时的小水平。在商务情景方面略有发挥。在答题册上我做了个草稿，铅笔写的。

听力的效果和平时听真题的感觉差不多，能作为BEC考场的学校，音效应该都还行。填空有几个不确定，匹配题我是精神高度集中，感觉答的也差不多，第三部分稍微比平时练习时答得顺畅一些。

第二天口语考试我的partner是一个大二的南方小姑娘，很和气，英语说得很自然。我们在等待时练了一道真题，然后相互鼓励，安排了一下谁先说谁后说，这最好是事先商量好的，要不然到时候打起来就不好了。

切记第二天考口语的朋友要提前上“大家网”上看一看，一般都会有人透题，我就是提前看了，但是没有做充分的准备，只是头脑中有那么个印象，结果真的考了那个题！考试时是一位高雅的年龄偏大的女老师，一口纯正的英音。旁边打分的是一位年轻的女老师。老师的语速很快，没有多余的话，在说的过程中不要只想着自己的话，老师会问完你的partner然后不重复题目让你回答同样的问题，我就有两次吧，让老师重复了问题。还有那么一次半次的，不知道自己是不是答非所问。只要记住一直说就行了，尽量多说，语速不要太快，以说得清楚为准。手上不要做多余的动作，要自然放在膝盖上，要不然给人的感觉会很不舒服。

其实ＢＥＣ真的是很科学的一门考试，它出的题都是经过专家几年的测试，很少出现超常发挥或是失常发挥，基本是复习成什么样就会考什么样，平时做真题时什么样就会考什么样。考试通过了只是一个考试能力的证明，真正在求职的过程中还是要看面试时的发挥和平时的积累，如果真的想把英语作为自己求职时的一个优势，就不要考试后就把英语扔了，希望这次考试的小小成功能够鼓励我在英语上取得更大的进步。这次考试通过，我要感谢很多人，感谢卖给我书的研三的学姐，感谢网络上分享讲义和考试经验的朋友，感谢陪我练口语的小F，感谢考试时我的partner,还有很多人，没有你们的帮助，就没有我取得的成绩。

我的考试成绩就是通过，我知道网上有很多比我牛的多的人，他们的经验更加丰富实用。我当时想我要是通过了我就在网上发个帖子把我考试的感受写出来和大家分享，这就算是我兑现了自己的承诺吧。

关于安全的文章

SAFETY FIRST

A two-day workshop on Health and Safety in Laboratories was held at the group and regional laboratory in York in March.

Staff from factories across the country attended the workshop, organised by ST Training Solutions in collaboration with Evans Wilson from the group occupational health and safety department.

The speakers considered the legal and company requirements for safety matters, including risk assessments, accidents and their prevention, fire safety, dealing with spillages in laboratories, and the correct procedures for arranging for disposal of waste.

In one of the practical exercises, Evans Wilson ‘volunteered’ to use the emergency shower, to check that it worked properly and to demonstrate that it is quite difficult to remove clothing whilst standing under a torrent of cold water!

Says Evans, “the social side of the workshop was enlivened by joining one of the ghost tours of York in the evening, when we heard stories of York’s macabre past!”

C: Eight hours.

A: Do you think working overtime is a good thing for a company, Miss Zheng? C: No, I don’t think so.

Dear Ms. Weston,

Performance of the CPT Equipment

I’m Pleased to tell you about our experience with the CPT Word Processor as you requested recently____example____ I assume you have looked at several machines and have narrowed down your choices.

Here are my observations.

An approach to adopting word processors

Eighteen months ago we adopted CPT equipment on limited scale with the idea in mind that we could gradually get rid of electric typewriters as we became familiar with the word processor. ____8____ The stations are actually in pairs so each pair can share a common printer ____9____

We use the equipment as dedicated word processors, although we do have the ability to link up with our computer installation.

The step-at-a-time development of our word-processing center has, we think, saved us money and training time. ____10____

Performance

In terms of performance, the CPT equipment is excellent. ____11____ Moreover our service contract and warranty have covered all maintenance costs.

We have software packages that check spelling and signal when a mistake occurs. ____12____ Using both printers, we recently prepared 1200 individually typed form letter mailings a under four hours. We have no complaint about our preparation of executive reports.

Example: I

A. So it works very well and has so many different functions.

B. Also it has reduced the confusion that exists about buying software packages.

C. The train stops at each station for only fifteen minutes.

D. We began with two work stations and now have four.

E. Our routine letters are prepared from disc-stored masters.

F. The Rotary W printer with a speed of 45 characters a second can easily handle two input stations.

G. In contrast, its size and weight are ideal for carrying.

H. We have not yet experienced mechanical problems so far.

I. We are pleased with its performance and multi-functions.

Scientists said that having a cat helped to relieve stress and anxiety, which is known to help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart rate.

The 10-year study looked at 4,435 adults aged between 30 and 75, about half of whom owned a cat.

The findings, presented at a stroke conference in America, showed that 3.4 per cent of the cat owners died from a heart attack over 10 years. Among the group who had never owned a cat the rate was 5.8 per cent.

Cat owners still had a much reduced chance of developing strokes or heart attacks when researchers took account of other factors known to trigger heart disease, including high cholesterol levels, smoking and diabetes.

Prof Adnan Qureshi, from the Minnesota University, who carried out the study, said he was surprised by the strength of the effect that owning a cat appeared to have.

“The logical explanation may be that cat ownership relieves stress and anxiety and subsequently reduces the risk of heart disease.”

He believes one reason could be that stroking the pet could cut the level of stress-related hormones in the blood. Reducing stress is known to help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart rate.

商务英语BEC中级考试阅读资料四 But Prof Qureshi added that the type of person who owned a cat was usually already fairly stress-free and at low risk of heart disease.

研究人员发现，养猫能使患心脏病和中风的风险降低三分之一以上。

科研人员称，养猫有助于缓解压力、减轻焦虑，而减轻压力可以降低血压和心律，因此有助于预防心脏病。

研究人员对4435名年龄在30岁至75岁之间的成年人进行了为期十年的调查，其中有一半的人养猫。

研究结果显示，在这十年中，仅有3.4%的养猫人士死于心脏病，而从未养过猫的人死于心脏病的比例为5.8%。该结果在美国召开的一个中风研讨会上公布。

研究人员还综合考虑了高胆固醇、吸烟和糖尿病等可能引发心脏病的其它一些因素，结果发现，养猫人士患中风或心脏病的几率还是要小很多。

开展该研究的明尼苏达大学教授阿德南?库勒什说，他很惊讶养猫有这么大的好处。

“合理的解释应该是，养猫能够缓解压力和焦虑，从而降低患心脏病的风险。”

他认为其中一个原因是，爱抚小猫能够降低血液中的应激激素水平。而减轻压力则能够降低血压和心率，从而有助于预防心脏病。
