PART III 仔细阅读
PARTIII 题型概述
1. 传统单选题： 仔细阅读题， BEC H 除了文章篇幅更
长、语言更难、答案逻辑更复杂外，出题形
看长篇文章，做四选一单选。 式与 BEC V 一致

2. 顺序原则
题目顺序和答案在文中出现的顺序一一对应。

3. 文章有标题，主旨明确。

4. 技巧通用
答案提示词和重点句型，与 Part I 、 Part II 相同。
那么问题来了…
BEC H 与 BEC V 仔细阅读的区别：
1. 定位更难
BEC V 题干中一般都会提示本题需要看哪一个段落， BEC H 则较少有这种情况。

2. 答案提示方式更间接
BEC V 一般完成定位后，阅读包含答案的句子，并返回选项，查找哪一项含有本句的同义替换表达
即可判断答案； BEC H 即使定位到了某一句是对应某一题答案的，但句子本身难以理解。

用引号标出的内容

founded. 问题针对 Grasmere 公司创立之初与现在一脉相承的特点，所以可以

No.16 本题提问方向是“作者观点”，且提到了一个比较特殊的信息： the third
age of branding ，可作为定位词。由于本题是第二个出现的题目，答案应位于文
章较前部分，并重点检索前几段的段首句，第二段首句出现 a third age of
branding ，判断答案在第二段。
就在第二段的首句，注意定语从句：
Now, we have entered a third age of branding, in
which so many companies are making roughly the
same product and at roughly the same price that
functionality rarely succeeds as a point of
differentiation.

PART IV 完形填空
PART IV 题型概述
1. 长篇文章选词填空
单选题，选项均为独立的单词。要求从四项中选出一词填入文中相应的空格内。

2. 题量少于中级
BEC V 完形填空有 15 题， BEC H10 题。

3. 不涉及语法辨析
四个选项的单词一般词性、形式一致，不考语法形态的辨析

4. 词汇难度高于中级
Eg. TEST1 No.22
A contemplated B reflected C regarded D
scrutinized
PART IV 解题流程
做题主要看空格前后单词判断考点，须重点判断：
1. 空格后是否有介词。
如有介词，则空格内填入动词，考点为“动词 + 介词”词组，可将选项中的四个动词逐一代入
空格，通过是否能和其后介词搭配，进行排除。
Eg. TEST2 No.26
Delivering quality service and achieving high
customer satisfaction have been closely (26) ____
to profits, …
A joined B linked C associated D
combined
答案： be linked to
A join 一般用在以人为主语的句子中； C associate 和 D combine 后面
都搭配 with ，故均排除。
PART IV 解题流程
2. 空格是否涉及动宾搭配
Eg. TEST2 No.27
… and consequently the (27) ____ all companies are trying
to make is to …
A shift B fluctuation C motion D displacement
答案： A 考察动宾搭配词组： make the shift 实现转变
对比 BEC V 中涉及同样考点的题目，体会难度差异：
Eg. BEC V 第四辑 TEST4 No.32
All of the staff deserve my praise for their dedication and
continued efforts in (32)____ these excellent results.
A winning B gaining C achieving D earning
答案： C 考察动宾搭配词组： achieve the result
PART IV 六大高频考点
1. 动词词组
[1] 动宾搭配中的动词
[2] 动词 + 介词词组中的动词
[3] 动词 + 介词词组中的介词

2. 名词词组
常考察固定搭配中的名词部分

3. 近义词辨析
选项之间含义雷同，但适用语境不同。
PART IV 六大高频考点
4. 形容词及副词
如考点为形容词、副词之类涉及修饰内容的词，通常可根据上下文提示的含义褒贬，在选项中轻松
排除干扰项。
Eg. TEST1 No.21
Each time you try for a more responsible position,
the selection process gets (21)____.
A stronger B tougher C sharper D firmer
答案： B
其他三项均为 positive 含义，但根据句意判断，做了责任更大的工作，（工作中的）选择过
程应该跟复杂，令人困扰，即应该选择表示 negative 意义的一项，故 B 为答案。
PART IV 六大高频考点
5. 商务知识及术语
考察考生从空格前后文字中推断商务意义，并在选项中准确选出适用术语的能力。如果选项中的
商务术语还互为近义词，则难度加大。

6. 上下文词义用法
不涉及词组搭配、商务术语等的考察，选项之间也并非近义词，纯粹考察考生根据空格前后文字
推断空格单词含义的能力。
