BEC商务英语（中级）阅读模拟试卷171
概括文意配伍
Look at the statements below and the advice of four market experts on the opposite page.
Which expert\’s advice (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.
Example：0 Flacks’speed of production should be an advantage for winning certain contracts.
1.It would be advisable for Flacks to consult customers before developing a new product.
B
解析：此题的关键词对应并不是很明显，需要通过理解句意来解题。题干中提到“在开发一项新产品之前征询消费者意见”。B段末句提到“详尽的市场调研也有助于确保任何新的想法都能很好地被接受”，也就是说市场调研(包括对于消费者的意见收集和调查)可以确保新产品开发的理念符合消费者心理，从而使新产品为消费者所接受。
2.Producing goods for specialist markets might increase Flacks’ profits.
D
解析：题干中提到“针对专业市场生产的商品可能会增加FIacks公司的利润”。D段首句提到“公司应当考虑开拓利基市场以提高利润”。理解此句时需要注意利基市场指的是一种针对特定产品的专业化市场。profits与margins为同义替换，通过两句的句意理解就可以选出答案。
3.Flacks may need to change the function of one of its facilities.
C
解析：题干中提到“Flack公司可能需要更改它其中一个工厂的功能”。facility一词有“(供特定用途的)场所”的意思。C段第二句中提到“他们也应该考虑利用他们英国的工厂生产更高规格的产品来重新定位生产方向”。其中one of its facilities和UK factory为同义替换，refocusing production和for high-specification products与change the function为同义替换。
4.Flacks should utilise its current expertise to enter a different market.
A
解析：题干中提到“Flacks公司应当利用它当前的专业技术来进入一个不同的市场”。而A段第二句提到“他们需要转向一个更加有前景的市场，也就是一个需求在不断增长并且公司可以利用现有的技术和社交关系的市场”。两句话都提到进入一个不同的市场，所以意思非常接近。其中current和existing为同义替换。expertise和skill也是同义替换。
5.Flacks may need to consider closing its current production facility.
B
解析：题干中提到“Flacks公司可能需要考虑关闭它当前的生产设备”。B段第三句提到“如果需要进一步提高生产效率，就应考虑选择某个时机把所有的生产都外包到海外”。通过原文得知生产都转移到海外，因此可以推断出现有的生产设备即将停用。
6.Flacks should develop the connections it has established with leading retailers.
C
解析：题干中提到“Flacks公司应当加强它与重要的零售商所建立起来的合作关系”。C段第一句提到“要与一些大型的百货店建立合作关系”。两句话意思完全一致，其中connections与relationships是同义替换。
7.Expanding the product range would not be a problem for the workforce.
A
解析：题干中提到“扩大产品的类别对于劳动力来说不是一个问题”。A段第三句提到“他们可以考虑品牌的延伸——这并不是一次巨大的飞跃，而销售团队也会从容应对。”通过原文我们可以看出品牌的扩张(也就是指拓展产品的种类)并不是一件非常困难的事情，而是可以从容应对的，这和题干中所说的“不是一个问题”意思一致。
段落完型

Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.
For each gap (8-12), mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.
Do not use any letter more than once.
There is an example at the beginning, (0).
Evaluating the performance of the board
Few employees escape the annual or twice-yearly performance review. (0) …..G…..The answer is not a great number. And the smaller the company, the fewer checks there are on how well the directors are doing. Some of the largest companies formally assess the performance of their board, but very few new or growing companies have managed to get round to establishing any such procedure.
Many business experts believe, however, that it is important for all companies to review the performance of the board. 【A1】________Another reason is that the board itself needs information on how well it is doing, just as much as other employees do. For the chief executive, appraisal of some s
