Place of action complained of Deldstrasse office BEC商务英语（初级）阅读模拟试卷 45答案与解析 一、 PART ONE 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 雇员可以享受 ” 本题的阅读材料
34、是一则关于年假的规定，内容是 “每年 30天的带薪假期外加 10天的公共和特惠假期。 ”因为公共假期和特惠假期也都是带薪的，所以每年共有 40天的带薪假期。因此，应该选 C。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “公司可以享受折扣，如果他们能提供 ” 可以看出本题的阅读材料是一则培训广告中关于费用的信息。从 “speeial pricing available to compa-nies sponsoring three or more participants ”可知，如果某家公司出资送三个或三个以上的员工来参加此培训的话可以享受特殊的价格。特殊价格一般指低于报价的价格。文中没有提及 A、
35、C两项所述内容，所以选 B。 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 “应聘者必须有 ” 这是招聘广告中对应聘者资格的要求。文中“You must possess a Bachelor or a Master of Sciem、 e degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering with more than three years of experience” 中的 “or”一词非常重要，表示选择关系，也就是说应聘者拥有计算机科学专业或计算机工程专业的学士学位或硕士学位之一并有三年以上工作经验即可。因此选 A。 4 【正确 答案】 C 【试题
36、解析】 从 “terminal”和选项中的 “Heathrow Aiz“pott”可以看出，这是一则关于机场提供的某种服务的介绍，具体内容是 “希思罗机场的 Hteathrow Express和 Heathrow Connect trains在航站楼之间免费运送乘客。 ”文中没有提及 A、 B两项所述内容，所以应该选 C。 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 从文中第一句我们知道，事先印刷好的传单或小册子形式的广告可以夹带在该报社或杂志社出版的增刊中。第二句是关于这种广告形式的收费情况，即根据总发行量对这些广告性传单或册子以千份为单位来收费。 A项中的描述 “in the magazine“与
37、原文不符； C项中的 “are charged according to the price of the newspaper“(根据报纸的价格收费 )与原文不符。所以应该选 B。 二、 PART TWO 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 解决顾客问题的应为公共关系部。 7 【正确答案】 F 【试题解析】 开发新产品的应为研发部。 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 负责送货 的应为物品配送处。 9 【正确答案】 H 【试题解析】 召收新职员是人事部的工作。 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 市场开拓问题是市场推广部主管。 三、 PART THREE 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】
38、 “在 2000年公司利润大幅下降后于次年慢慢回升。 ” 12 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 “1999年利润有显著增加，但在 2000年却呈水平增长。 ” 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 “三年内利润持续下降。 ” 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “利润于 2000年达到顶峰，随后持续下降 ”。 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 “1999年到 2000年间利润保持稳定 ”。 四、 PART FOUR 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文中提到 “要擅长写报告 ”，所以需要具备良好的写作技能。 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 “able to go on bus
39、iness trips at least three mesa month ” 18 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “willing to work late several times a week”，愿意多次加班。 19 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 文中提到要对操作电脑富有经验。 experienced， “有经验的 ”。 20 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 文中提到每年假期有 6周，即 42天，而不是 30天。 21 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 标题中提到。 22 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中并未提到提供住房问题。 五、 PART FIVE 23 【正确答案】 C 【
40、试 题解析】 在第一段中提出两个原因，一个是增加市场占有量，另一个量也是最重要的是因为关键性的决策在今年实施了，因此 C是合适。 24 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 “(首次 )上市 ”，公司花费大笔钱在电视上做广告是为了介绍这种新上市的产品。 25 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在第三段说明 Booster在四月份的销售量位居第二。 26 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 第四段中： “The companys oldest product mass market“ ， C符合。 27 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 第四段提到矿泉水仍占领大部分市场的同时， lce-T和 Chocoman
41、ia两个品牌占的饮料仅在夏初有所增长稍后便下降，年销量令人失望。 28 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 最后一段首句提到。 六、 PART SIX 29 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本句的意思是 “市场对你的产品有需求 ”， “need”在 “has”后面作名词，表示需要某物的表达是 “have a need for sth ”，所以 A项正确。 30 【正确答案】 C 【试 题解析】 本句的意思是 “什么地方可能会出问题呢 ?”“go”在这里作系动词，“go wrong“表示 “出错，出问题 ”。 “leave”和 “come”都是实义动词，后面不会跟形容词作表语。因此 C项正确。 31
42、 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 从本题的三个选项判断，空格处需要填关联词。 “although”是用来引导让步状语从句的； “but”后面的分句应该与其前面的句子构成转折关系； “if”则是用来引导条件状语从句的。我们可以将这三个选项分别带入原句试用。试用后我们会发现把 A、 C带入后，句子的逻辑不通。因此 B项正确。 32 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题的解题关键在于考生要通过上下文看出空格所在句的语法结构。首先，空格处的词所在句子作 “between”的宾语，因此可以排除选项 “they”。因为 “they”是人称代词的主格形式，顾名思义，只有被指代对象在句中作主语时才能用 “th
43、ey”。其次， “(32)that limp along” 在句子结构上与之前的 “businesses that boom”是一样的，空格处的单词应该是能代表 /表示 “businesses”的词。虽然“these”和 “those”都是指示代词，指代复数性的名词，但 “these”一般 33 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题考查固定短语 “have something to do with”，表示 “与 有关 ”。该短语中的 “something”一词 lot”， “little”， “nothing”等词表示不同的意思： “have a lot to do with”表示 “与 有很
44、大关系 ”， “have little to do with”表示“与 几乎没有关系 ”， “have nothing to do with”表示 “与 没有任何关系 ”。因此 C项正确。 34 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题考查情态动词的用法。 “can”表示 “能够 ”； “ought”必须与 “to”连用，即 “ought to”，表示 “应该 ”； “shall，也表示 “应该 ”，用于 “I”或 “We” 之后。从上下文看，应该选择表示 “能够 ”而不是 “应该 ”之意的词，因为此句的意思是 “很明显，你作为企业家的才能与你的企业的成功有着很大的关系，但只靠你自己，你就只能走这
45、么远。 ”所以 A项正确。 35 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题考查关系代词的用法 。考生若能看出空格处的词与其后面的“motivates them”构成从旬，做 figure out的宾语，而且该词在其引导的从旬中充当主语，就不难做出选择了。虽然 that、 which和 what这三个选项都能引导宾语从句，但是作为引导词其含义和在从句中的语法角色是不同的。当引导词既要充当从句的主语且意思并不具体时，这个角色就只有 what能胜任，因为做引导词时“what”意思相当于 “the thing(s)that”； that、 which不能体现这个意思。本题所在上下文即属于这种情况。因 36
46、 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 “time-consuming，表示 “费时的，耗时的 ”，没有 “time-consume”与 “time-consumed”这样的合成词或表达法。因此 C项正确。 37 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 从空格后面的定语从句 “who come along”中的谓语动词的形式来判断，空格处的词应该是可数名词的复数形式，或单数形式但意思表示的是复数概念的名词，所以 “person”被排除了。 “people”是个表复数概念的名词，其复数形式“peoples”表示的是另一个意思 “各民族 ”，但文章在这里谈论的是如何选人，所以“peoples”应排除。因此 B项
47、正确。 38 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 通读空格处所在的整个句子，可以发现 “or”前面的 “to fill the job quickly with one of the first few People who come along”和后面的 “someone who is only sumcient”是并列关系，与 “to”构成不定式，修饰 “temptation”，所以，此处应该用动词原形。因此 A项正确。 39 【正确 答案】 B 【试题解析】 作者在文章最后一段的第一句提醒人们，选人是一件耗费时间和精力的事情；你不能为了赶紧回去干自己的事就草草地定个人选了事。句子 “You
48、want to stopand get back to Your business” 是说明之所以会这样做的原因，而非结果，所以 “so”可以排除。 “while”意为 “而 ”，表示两个动作的对比。因此应选表示原因的 B项。 40 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据上下文，这里是停止面试而回去工作， “stop doing sth ”表示“停止 做某事 ”，所以 C项正确。 七、 PART SEVEN 41 【正确答案】 June 3. 42 【正确答案】 Bertha Nelson 43 【正确答案】 Zurich 44 【正确答案】 Marketing Consultant 45 【正确答案】 3-六月
