operations.

GOntheotherhand,recruitingthewrongstaffcanleadtodisaster.

这篇文章的标题有些misleading，“Thebestpeopleforthejob”，还以为是招

人的标准。其实这篇文章是关于Humanresource的，所以还是要适当关注文章前

的说明：thearticlebelowaboutthechangingroleofhumanresourcesdepartments.

第八题，空格后面的“Thatsnolongertheca”是很重要的提示。由于空格前

面始终在强调commercial和business，所以在空缺的地方应当是和另一个方面相

关的内容。选项C的administrativerole正好满足这个要求。前后文意思搭配在一

起完全吻合。

第九题，后面的forexample的很关键，是对前面的补充说明。“Forexample,a

chiefexecutivewillexpecttheHRdepartmenttoadvioneverythingfromthe

headcounttowhethertoproceedwithanacquisition.”总裁希望人力资源经理对一

切事情提出建议，从人数统计到是否进行收购。这种要求就需要人力资源经理具

备很多才能。所以F的句子填在这里最合适。

第十题，答案略微不那么明显，不过D句中的aninfluentialrole可以和第十

题的空格后的acrucialpart相对应，算是答案信号。要从整体上把握第三段，这

里认为HRmanager的影响是全局的、长期的，所以D句的“ethewholeoperation”

符合状况。

第十一题，理解前后文的意思，前面说过去的operationalmanagers不那么

认可HRmanager的作用，后面指出HRmanagers挣得多，所以中间是转折的意

思。A句的But是个信号，“上涨的薪酬水平意味着这个职位慢慢增加的重要性得

到了广泛的认可。”意思和前后都吻合，所以是正确答案。

第十二题，空格前说HRmanagers觉得自己的作用被低估了，所以leaving。

空格后一个However，所以空格处应当还是和leaving有关的，为什么离职。E句

的意思是“被视作仅仅对别人的离开和生病的日子划勾的人是没法关怀建立忠诚

感的。”填入此处正好。

这篇文章讲的是外购(outsourcing),分别有四位专家就这个问题给出了自己的

看法。A段的专家强调建立合同的重要性，B段专家认为要派专人负责，C段专

家讲外派人员和本公司之间要有一个互动，D段专家讲假如与外包商(outsourcer)

组成联合企业的话可能带来的一系列问题。假如对文章有个或许、基本的了解，

很多题目不用细看就可以得出结论。

第一题的答案略微有些隐晦，在B段的最终一句。“Becauthereisanew

operationbeingcarriedoutinadifferentwayoutsideofthehomebusiness,this

createsatrainingelement.”因为新的操作是在本公司以外的地方以一种新的方式

被执行，所以产生了培训成分。这里的training对应第一题的“teachskillsto

employees”。

第二题的答案在D段中间:companiesshouldbecarefulnottolosightofthe

originalrationaleforoutsourcing.这里的rationale是基本原理、根本缘由的意思。

第三题的答案在A段，特殊明显的“establishcontracts”。

第四段的答案是C段的最终一句话，outsourcingpersonnelhavetotalktothe

homecompanyxecutivesandurstounderstandtheirexperiences.这里的talkto

对应address，向....谈话。第四题的意思是“说明在远址工作的外购人员的事情”，

Word文档

也就是C段最终一句说的外购人员向公司汇报他们的经受。

第五段的答案在B段，相当明显：Itiscriticaltohaveanindividualinchargeto

checkthattheexternalandinternalbusinessoperationsworktogether。需要派专人

负责integration。

第六题说“外派人员要熟识自身工作的不同详情”，对应C段的“createateam

wherethereisaclearunderstandingofobjectivesandincentives.”打造一个对目标

和动机都有清晰理解的团队。

第七题略微绕一点。题目里的“analternativetooutsourcing”指的是D段里的

“createajoint-venturecompanywiththeoutsourcer”，建立一个联合企业。D段里

的专家始终在强调联合企业的麻烦和冗杂性(jointventuresbringpotential

troubles)，所以是正确答案。

我个人认为，完形填空这种题型属于BEC阅读里相对不简洁把握的。其他几

个部分多参照原文就能找到答案，而完形填空的答案有的时候靠分析是得不出结

果的，因为会考到一些固定用法，而且是商务英语里的固定用法。固定用法一时

半会是无法积累的。要想做好BEC里的完形填空，一是要把握确定的解题技巧(比

方排除法和猜题)，二是要培育商务英语的感觉。感觉的培育也有两种途径，一个

是多读原版商业英语文章，另一个就是把历年BEC真题里的完形填空原文填上空

缺的单词反复朗读。

这篇名为《电子商务胜利秘诀》的文章主要分析了从事电子商务必需考虑的

几个factor。重点考虑的是如何服务客户，不是在线的，而是电话。

19题首先考的就是一个固定的商务英语用法。Pointofcontact,接触点。商业

词典的解释：Personoradepartmentrvingasthecoordinatororfocalpointofan

activityorprogram.英文WIKI的解释：Apointofcontact(POC,alsosinglepointof

contactorSPOC)istheidentificationof,andmeansofcommunicationwith,person(s)

andorganizations(s)associatedwiththeresource(s).

26题，ononesownterms,根据某人自己的主见。联系此句上下文，是说电

子商务的客户不好侍侯，得依据他们的意思来提供他们想要的。所以后面的28

题应当选择rigid，僵硬的。意思是不能把一些僵硬的要求强加在客户的身上。

27题，inturn相应的;inquence按顺序，依次;inline成始终线;inorder整

齐，秩序井然。

31题，后面的asismoreusual是插入语，在这里完全可以忽视不计，联系整

个句子的意思。是说员工应当想方法对付哪怕是最难对付的客户，而不是找借口

去指责客户。所以应选ratherthan(而不是)。apartfrom相当于exceptfor，除了…

外(都),otherthan相当于except，除…以外。

32题，理解了上下文，应当选excu。与fault相关的短语是findfaultwith

33题，gowithoutsaying固定用法，不言而喻的意思。

文章介绍了一个经营健康俱乐部的公司的状况，照旧是形势喜人。

19题，一句话包含三个空，联系在一起做。昨天开会，宣布了一系列结果。

报告税前收益增长了38%，公司并没有经受它的竞争对手所暴露的问题。19题选

report，20题experienced，21题，revealedbyitsrival，被竞争对手暴露的问题。

22题，remainsstrong保持强劲;单看单词的意思，貌似keep也可以(不过说

实话，假如不是有同学提示，我压根想不到会填keep)联系此句上下文，提到了

在对手出现问题时这个公司表现照旧强劲remain在英文词典的解释是：continue

toexist,especiallyafterothersimilarorrelatedpeopleorthingshaveceadtoexist

在相像或者相关人和事出现状况时照旧存在，所以，remain更符合这个题目的条

件

23题，ontrack步入正轨。公司正在实现目标的正道上。这个词在其他完型

也出现过，不过不是正确答案。

24题，slowdown放缓，固定用法。经济放缓。

25题，bringto，使总数到达51，这个题怕是要靠语感。put确定不对，getto

到达，mount在这里用法不对。

26题，provedtobe证明是，固定用法

27题，这里填入的词要和前文对比，前面说新开了12家新的俱乐部，这里

的空格前有个even和more，所以应当是填入与new相对应的词。established是

已确立的(Ifyouuestablishedtodescribesomethingsuchasanorganization,you

alongtime.)

28题，retentionrate保存率，专知名词(Retainedearningsdividedbytotal

after-taxearnings,expresdasapercentage)，指公司税后收益所保存的那一部分。

29题，公司吸引力的证据。clearevidence明显的证据。不选sign，sign只是

迹象。

30题，simply修饰toomany从用法和意思上都对，在这里就是表强调的，

意思是公司太多了。

31题，consolidation强化、合并(Toconsolidateanumberofsmallgroupsorfirms

meanstomakethemintoonelargeorganization.)，有很多的公司相互竞争，所以需

要进行一个整合。这是商英里的固定说法。

32题，inbusiness在经营。是说很快这个市场上的公司会淘汰的只剩下三个。

33题，理解了venture的意思就不难做出选择，在这里是指商业冒险，也是

商英地道说法。公司要在西班牙进行一些投机活动，因此增加了额外的管理费用。
