BEC高级阅读理解专项练习

Questions 1-7

Look at the statements below and the article about the development of future business leaders on the opposite page.

Which section of the article (A, B, C or D) does each statement (1-7) refer to?

For each statement (1-7), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.

You will need to use some of these letters more than once.

1 Managers need to take action to convince high-flyers of their value to the firm.

2 Organisations need to look beyond the high-flyers they are currently developing.

3 There is a concern that firms investing in training for high-flyers may not gain the benefits themselves.

4 Managers need expert assistance from within their own firms in developing high-flyers.

5 Firms currently identify high-flyers without the support of a guidance strategy.

6 Managers are frequently too busy to deal with the development of high-flyers.

7 Firms who work hard on their reputation as an employer will interest high-flyers.

The Stars of the Future

A Existing management research does not tell us much about how to find and develop high-flyers, those people who have the potential to reach the top of an organisation. As a result, organisations are left to formulate their own systems. A more effective overall policy for developing future leaders is needed, which is why the London Business School has launched the Tomorrow's Leaders Research Group (TLRG). The group contains representatives from 20 firms, and meets regularly to discuss the leadership development of the organisations' high-flyers.

B TLRG recognises just how significant line managers are in the process of leadership development. Unfortunately, with today's flat organisations, where managers have functional as well as managerial responsibilities, people development all too often falls victim to heavy workloads. One manager in the research group was unconvinced by the logic of sending his best people away on development courses, 'only to see them poached by another department or, worse still, another firm'. This fear of losing high-flyers runs deep in the organisations that make up the research group.

C TLRG argues that the task of management is not necessarily about employee retention, but about creating 'attraction centres'. 'We must help line managers to realise that if their companies are known as ones that develop their people, they will have a greater appeal to high-flyers,' said one advisor. Furthermore, selecting people for, say, a leadership development programme is a sign of commitment from management to an individual. Loyalty can then be more easily demanded in return.

D TLRG has concluded that a company's HR specialists need to take action and engage with line managers individually about their role in the development of high-flyers. Indeed, in order to benefit fully from training high-flyers as the senior managers of the future, firms must actually address the development of all managers who will be supporting the high-flyers. Without this, managers will not be in a position to give appropriate advice. And when eventually the high-flyers do move on, new ones will be needed to replace them. The next challenge will be to find a new generation of high-flyers.

首先得搞明白的是这篇文章到底讲的什么。不用看具体内容，有两个地方直接告诉了。一个是题目说明的第一句话，另一个是正文的标题。从这两个地方就可以看出全文探讨的是公司未来接班人——也就是潜力股——的培养问题。

A段讲了TLRG这个贯穿全文的研究组织诞生的原因：现行的研究满足不了需要，于是大多数公司只能自己探索发掘接班人的模式;(即第五题的答案)

B段讲了直属经理(line managers)对于发掘接班人的重要性(真是干什么都要从基层抓起)，以及经理们的一些疑虑;

C段讲的是接班人问题对公司的重要性，并且应该让院线经理们明白这种重要性;转自:考试网 - []

D段是针对前面列出的问题，提出的解决建议，什么专家协助等等。

整篇文章分为四个部分，层层递进，有很强的逻辑性。拿这样的文章来做阅读材料应该是相对容易把握的。

　BEC高级阅读：How Will UN Court Affect Other

In February of two thousand eight, Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia. Now the top United Nations court says Kosovo's declaration was legal. Hisashi Owada, president of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, read the opinion.

HISASHI OWADA: "The court considers that general international law contains no applicable prohibition on declarations of independence."

Kosovo's Foreign Minister Skender Hyseni called the ruling on Thursday great news, and not just for Kosovo.

SKENDER HYSENI: "This is a great news for the peace and stability in the region of western Balkans. This is a great news for Europe."

Serbia had asked the court for its opinion. Now Serbia is sending diplomats to fifty-five countries. Their job: try to block efforts by Kosovo to gain further recognition.

Serbia's Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic says the ruling will not change his country’s position.

VUK JEREMIC: "Serbia will never under any circumstances recognize the unilateral declaration of independence of the so-called Republic of Kosovo."

Ian Bancroft is the co-founder of TransConflict, a humanitarian organization working in the western Balkans. Speaking from Belgrade, he said the ruling sends a message about international law.

IAN BANCROFT: "Therefore, any secessionist movement, no matter where it is in the world, will look towards this and gain some encouragement that they too can pursue this path."

But Kurt Volker, former American ambassador to NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is not so sure what will happen.

KURT VOLKER: "I don't think this is going to have that big an effect on either side, whether it's the states who want to maintain their territorial integrity against the aspirations of some of their own indigenous people or, for that matter, movements that want to seek their own independence and freedom."

Mr. Volker says "those desires are already going on," and will continue independent of the decision.

The judges on the International Court of Justice, sometimes called the World Court, voted ten to four. The ruling is non-binding; it does not have legal force.

Sixty-nine countries have already recognized Kosovo. These include the United States, Japan and most of the European Union.

Serbia's main ally Russia has recognized the self-declared independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia. But Russia does not recognize Kosovo. Nor does another permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, China.

In Washington, the State Department welcomed the ruling. It urged Europe to "unite behind a common future." But spokesman P.J. Crowley said it is too soon to discuss withdrawing the NATO-led international security force in Kosovo.

Kosovo was a Serbian province that became a United Nations protectorate in nineteen ninety-nine. That followed seventy-eight days of NATO bombing against Serbia. The campaign ended a two-year war between Serbia and the ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo.

The advisory opinion from the court will go to the United Nations General Assembly. A debate on Kosovo is expected in September.

On Friday, in a separate development, police in Kosovo arrested the head of the country's central bank. The arrest was part of a continuing series of corruption investigations of officials.

And that's IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English. What effect do you think the Kosovo ruling will have around the world? You can comment at or on Facebook and Twitter at VOA Learning English. I'm Steve Ember.

　　商务英语(BEC)高级阅读应试技巧

第一部分到第三部分主要是考对文章整体理解，难度比较大，也比较花时间，所以这三部分可以花半个小时到40分钟的时间。第四部分到第六部分主要考语法、固定搭配和用词，是很基础的东西，而且文章比较短，所以大概6分钟一篇也可以完成。

a) 第一部分，文段中的某些内容可能会在8个句子中提到，但是句子的用词会比较简单。首先认真阅读前面8个句子，画出关键词，然后看文段，把相关的词语画出来，每看完一个文段就找对应的句子，把文段中相关信息标上对应句子的序号，方便检查。过程中会出现很混乱的情况，因为有些答案很隐蔽，也会有很多干扰信息，所以必须很认真地阅读。需要多练习找感觉，要很有耐心，一般后两个文段的对应句子多点。

b) 第二部分，考查对文章结构的把握和整体理解，抽出来的句子一般都是很有逻辑关系的。认真阅读文章，理清文章思路，特别仔细看空格前后句子，看空格处应该放转折关系还是顺接关系还是其他，预测一下空格中要填的意思，然后从后面7个选项中寻找，如果找不出来就先放着，先做后面的，要画出关键词，特别是表转折，表原因，表结果的词、these,that等代词，和人称代词等，这些都是答案提示。也是需要多联系找感觉，6个空格中应该有一两个是比较容易选的。(这 part是我觉得最难的，我经常错一半甚至以上)

c) 第三部分，考查对文章的整体理解。一般是6个段落对应6个题目，所以看一段做一题。考的都是对整体段意的把握，不考细节。做这种题经常会出现看了答案以后还觉得自己没有选错的情况，四个选项中只有一个是整体理解，其他都是断章取义。

d) 第四部分，主要考查固定搭配和词语辨析。四个选项经常都是意思相近的，但有些是固定搭配，这种就是考基本功了，记得那个短语的就不难选了;难一点的就要区分四个词了，根据上下文选。

e) 第五部分，主要考固定搭配和定冠词，连接词的使用。空格处填的基本上都只有唯一答案的，所以一般不会是动词、形容词和副词，除非固定搭配。这题看上去很简单，但是也很容易错，所以要非常仔细。建议拿一本本子作为错题本，把错的题都记录下来，因为每次考的都是这些考点，全部掌握了出错几率就小了。

f) 第六部分，主要考语法，经常会出现多主语，多动词等，但是咋看上去又不觉得有什么错误的，所以要非常仔细，认真分析句子的结构。也建议弄一本错题本。做多了对这些错误就敏感多了。
