這篇文章講的是培訓(xùn)(coaching)的作用。培訓(xùn)對(duì)一個(gè)公司的發(fā)展和員工的成長(zhǎng)都是至關(guān)重

要的。文章的內(nèi)容比較泛，但是題目的答案比較明顯。

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：In

theory,thecoachingrelationshipshouldprovideanswerstoeveryproblem,butin

practiceitfallsshortofthis.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：

analysinghowtheyweremanagedandhowtheymightbedealtwithmoreeffectively

onsubsequentoccasions.分析應(yīng)該如何進(jìn)行處理并且在接下來(lái)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,onsubsequent

occasions.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：helps

individualstouseformallylearntknowledgeinday-to-dayworkandmanagement

situations.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-day

workandmanagementsituations就是題干中的routineworksituations,whathasbeen

taught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：

providingaddedjobsatisfactiontomanagerswhofeeltheyarestuckintheirpresent

jobso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stuckin

theirpresentjobs就是題干中的unhappyintheircurrentposition,addedjob

satisfaction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：Italso

allowssuccessesandfailurestobeevaluatedinanon-threateningatmosphere.

它允許成功和失敗在?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(jiǎn)單的從中文理解成自我意識(shí)，看英文解釋：knowledgeandunderstanding

ofyourselfo所以答案是B段的這么一句：requiresthemtoconsidertheirownbehaviour

andquestiontheirreasonsfordoingthings.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HI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.

《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(jī)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(jìng)爭(zhēng)情況，最后一段總結(jié)。

第八題，前面說(shuō)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(wú)所知?？崭窈竺嬲f(shuō)的是這段時(shí)間很困難，但是對(duì)獲得所需要的經(jīng)驗(yàn)卻是很有必耍的。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，Itwasa

dramaticlearningcurve,這里的learning是關(guān)鍵詞，很明顯的答案信號(hào)。還有verysmall

amountsofmoneywereearnedatfirst,atfirst也是關(guān)鍵詞。

第九題，空格前面說(shuō)largenumbersofofficeworkerswantingtakeawayfoodfortheir

lunches,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?/p>

后面話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，說(shuō)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)o從上下文來(lái)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(zhǎng)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)使得贏得利潤(rùn)變得更加困難。

第十題，上文說(shuō)經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)轉(zhuǎn)變了，所以Robertson決定從事多樣化的經(jīng)營(yíng)。后面說(shuō)這種做法

永遠(yuǎn)的改變了公司的經(jīng)營(yíng)方式。所以第卜空應(yīng)該填入相應(yīng)的對(duì)策，怎么樣來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)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(shuō)的招募競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(shuō)的。

第十一題，這一題才應(yīng)該選B,前面說(shuō)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(shuō)部分原因是這個(gè)，營(yíng)業(yè)額翻倍了。所以中間應(yīng)該也是填入

對(duì)策。和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手有關(guān)的,應(yīng)該選和B的particular是個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞，rivalcompany也很明

顯。

第十二題，前面說(shuō)Robertson想收購(gòu)一個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(lái)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)。

Olowtomarketyourself^,怎樣開發(fā)你自己。這篇文章主要是一個(gè)專家(MarySpillane)

對(duì)個(gè)人在職業(yè)生涯中的一些建議，包括怎么定位、怎樣正確認(rèn)識(shí)自己等等。很實(shí)用很中肯的

一篇文章?？磥?lái)這國(guó)外的專家并不也是夸夸其談之輩啊。

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(lái)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(chǎng)的發(fā)展，也就是D

答案所說(shuō)的。A在原文沒有提到，B的理解有誤，原文說(shuō)thereisonlyonefirmtojoin

forlife:Meplco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(shuō)人們要

學(xué)會(huì)開發(fā)自己，而不是將來(lái)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?句：Youhaveto

decidewhatcentralvaluesyouwanttoproject,andalsowhatmayneedtoalterfrom

situationtosituation.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(lái)改變事情。B不對(duì)，不是說(shuō)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(shuō)這個(gè)女人曾經(jīng)經(jīng)營(yíng)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(lái)。從這些

可以看出這個(gè)女人的思路：需要哪?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，t

haveanyideaofwhattheirbrandshouldbe,andarestillverytraditionaleven

whentalkingaboutbecomingmodern.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(shuō)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(shuō)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,refreshingitevery

fewmonthswithyourmostrecentachievements時(shí)刻要有一個(gè)準(zhǔn)備打印的最新的簡(jiǎn)歷,

每隔幾個(gè)月用你最新的成績(jī)來(lái)更新--次?？偨Y(jié)起來(lái)就是B選項(xiàng)所說(shuō)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)：Bydecidingwhatimageyou

wantotherpeopletosee,emphasisingmoreofyourprivateselfandsortingouta

fewblindspots。更多的強(qiáng)調(diào)私我，并且挑選出一些盲點(diǎn)?？偨Y(jié)起來(lái)就是B所說(shuō)的：學(xué)會(huì)

怎樣全面利用自己性格的各個(gè)方面。

理解-下D選項(xiàng)一個(gè)詞組的含義:modelyourselfon(after)somebody：totrytobelike

BEC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(shuō)公司做的決定是一個(gè)年度過程(annualprocess)。接下來(lái)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(lái)，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(yǔ)里專業(yè)且地道的說(shuō)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(shuō)明公司進(jìn)行planning的原因。

正是因?yàn)橄嗨频哪Ｊ綍?huì)在市場(chǎng)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)兒個(gè)詞的用法進(jìn)

行區(qū)分。

approval：whenaplan,decision,orpersonisofficiallyaccepted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?題是講的計(jì)劃被批準(zhǔn)或者通過，所以用approvalo

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(lái)。

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(jiǎn)單，理解了句子含義不難做出選擇。現(xiàn)在發(fā)生的事情將會(huì)影響未來(lái)的目標(biāo)和計(jì)

戈I」。選influence。

25題，從這個(gè)句子來(lái)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(chǎng)預(yù)測(cè)。

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,ortheprocess

ofdoingthiswork.

27題，respondto對(duì)…..做出反應(yīng)。

28題，為了開發(fā)公司的長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)，需要一年以.上的時(shí)間來(lái)計(jì)劃。從意思和用法上，只能選

擇developo

29題，inmarketterms用市場(chǎng)術(shù)語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)。固定用法。

30題，positioninthemarket,市場(chǎng)上的地位。前面已經(jīng)暗示了這里要用市場(chǎng)術(shù)語(yǔ)來(lái)表

述，positioninthemarket就是固定表達(dá)

(positioningisthatexclusivespaceyourbrandownsinthemarketplace.It's

relevantandcompellingtoyourcustomers,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(lái)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,especiallybecausetheyhave

askedforitorshouldhaveit.交出

drawup:toprepareawrittendocument,suchasalistorcontract起草

37題，這行要聯(lián)系下一行，從整體上來(lái)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(yǔ)動(dòng)詞重復(fù)了，必須去掉一個(gè)。從意思上看，是說(shuō)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(yǔ)，是對(duì)前面的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)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(yǔ)，代詞those是多余的

42題，inreturn是固定搭配，表示相應(yīng)的，反過來(lái)，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(yǔ)，可以不予考慮，整個(gè)句子就是assistancewith

relocationexpenses是主語(yǔ)，is是謂語(yǔ)，后面是賓語(yǔ)，主謂賓都很齊全，that是多余的

45題，正確。這一行有個(gè)詞組，inconfidence,是insecrecy的意思。

這篇文章講的是傾聽(listening)的重要性。一個(gè)好的管理者必然是一個(gè)好的傾聽者，

所以要講究?jī)A聽的藝術(shù)。

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：Itmaymeanquizzing

thespeakerforadditionalinformationorforclarification-itisalwaysbetter

toaskthantocontinueregardlessandgetthingswrong它可能意味著為了進(jìn)一步的

信息和說(shuō)明去詢問說(shuō)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(shuō)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：Themost

commonbadhabitwehaveistostartthinkingofwhatwearegoingtosayaboutthe

subjectlongbeforetheotherspeakerhasfinished。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(shuō)些什么。這里的beforetheother

speakerhasfinished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：Toooftenweaccuseothers

ofnotlistening,pretendingthatweourselvesarefaultless,yetinourheartswe

knowthatmanyofthemistakeswemakecomeaboutbecausewehaven,tlistened

carefullyenougho我們經(jīng)常指責(zé)別人沒有好好聽，假裝我們自己是無(wú)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(shuō)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(shuō)的不愿意承認(rèn)。

第四題，從說(shuō)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：Equally

importantlyyoushouldputyourselfintheotherperson'splace,bothintellectually

andemotionallyo同樣重要的是你必須把自己置于別人的位置匕既是智力上.的也是情感

上的。這里的putyourselfinotherperson'splace就是seeingthingsfromthe

speakerJsperspective。

第五題，對(duì)說(shuō)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：Il'shelpfulto

rememberthatthewayspeoplemoveandpositionthemselveswhiletheyarespeaking

canrevealagreatdealaboutwhattheyaresaying。記住說(shuō)話人的移動(dòng)方式和姿勢(shì)是

很有用的，這些可以揭示出很多他們所說(shuō)話的信息。連說(shuō)話的姿勢(shì)都要記住，當(dāng)然是keen

observation了,helpful可以對(duì)應(yīng)于supporto

第六題，當(dāng)別人在說(shuō)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：ifyou

allowyourmindtowanderontosomethingelse,evenforafewminutes,you*11miss

whatthespeakerissaying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(shuō)的話。allowyourmindwanderontosomethingelse也就是thinkaboutadifferent

issue.

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：Infactitis

oftenworthexplainingthemainideaofwhatyouhavejustbeentoldbeforegoing

ontomakeyourownpoints.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。explainingthe

mainideaofwhatyouhavejustbeentold也就是hearingtheirownviewssummarisedo

donotmind也就是nobodyisoffendedbythiso
