bec中级改错题技巧
改错题是bec中级考试中阅读的一种题型,那么做这种题目有没有什么技巧呢?下面小编就给大家分享一下!
BEC中级阅读技巧:短文改错题
通读全文,把握大意
很多考生在做题的时候会遇到不知道是否该删除某个词语的情况,这时应该从全文内容出发,判断其是否多余,通常情况下,都是名词或代词为多,出题者通过增加多余的名词或代词来对考生进行干扰,从而达到测试的目的。先通读全文的另外一个好处就是可以在读的过程中先找出一些明显的错误,这也遵循了我们常说的先易后难的解题规律。
以句子为单位,逐个进行分析
在四六级中,经常是几行才设置一道题目,而BEC则不同,每一行都设置一道题目,因此,一个句子通常都会被拆分成时上下两行。所以,我们做题的时候应该以句子为最小单位,然后对其进行分析,找出其中的错误所在,而不应该仅仅局限于一行对句子进行分析。
分析句子成分,找出错误所在
判断一个句子正确与否,通过需要对句子进行语法成分的分析,以判断是缺少语法成分,还是出现多余的语法成分。一个完整的句子通常要包含主语,谓语和宾语。所以我们分析句子的时候也是从主谓宾入手。这就要求学生掌握一定的语法知识,具备分析句子成分的能力。考生应该在平时练习时加强对句子成分的分析。

学习啦在线学习网 就考试时间而言,BEC的考试时间要比四六级考试时间长。但是,由于BEC的难度较大,很大一部分考生仍会感到时间不够用。因此,在做题的时候,我们仍要遵循先易后难的原则,争取在最短的时间内拿到做多的分。考生在平时练习的时候也要养成这个习惯,这样就可以避免在考试的时候死扣住一道难题不放,而失去了那些容易的该得分的题目。
常见错误
学习啦在线学习网 (1)将泛指内容特指化:这主要是指在名词前加上了多余的定冠词,造成泛指的内容被特指。因为在BEC考试中不存在漏词的情况,因此在名词前缺少冠词的情况是不存在的。当考生遇到复数名词前的定冠词时,可以考虑其是否多余。
举例来说:
The final decision was reached after day-long session of the tests, interviews and exercises.
tests, interviews and exercises均为泛指的内容,而不是某种特有的,专门的tests, interviews and exercises , 所以在这个句子中,the是多余的。
学习啦在线学习网 (2)时态不正确:对于时态方面的考查,最常见的就是在时间,条件,让步状语从句后用带will的将来时态。我们知道,这些从句要用一般现在时来代替一般将来时。所以,句中的 will往往是多余的。
学习啦在线学习网 :当然,有时候will表示意愿,用在if条件句中,表示"如果你愿意......"这个要区别对待。
举例来说:
..., a password allows them to access the system wherever they will happen to be that day.
学习啦在线学习网 这是一个让步状语从句,从句要求用一般现在时来表示一般将来时,所以句中的 will是多余的,应该去掉。
学习啦在线学习网 (3)对立性词语在句子中同时出现:在中文里,我们可以把"虽然""但是"放在一起,也可以将"因为"" 所以"放在一起,而在英语中,我们用了although/though就不可以用but ,但是可以用yet,用了because/since/as就不可以用so。
另外。在句子中一般不可以同时出现以下的词语: how与well , only与hardly ,serve与for ,reach与at/in ,rise与up ,most与best , must与have to ,another与other(s) ,marry与 with ,repeat与again (但可以与again and again连用),return 与 back等等。
举例来说:
学习啦在线学习网 How do you get on well with the staff.
学习啦在线学习网 这句话中,well实际上回答了how, 所以well是多余的。又如serve for our customs 中for也是多余的,因为serve是及物动词,本身已经含有for的意思,再用for就造成了意思上的重复。
学习啦在线学习网 (4)词性的误用:由于词性的误用而造成的单词多余在BEC短文改错中也是经常可以碰到的。特别是对动词的考查,如及物和不及物的混用等等。
举例来说:
学习啦在线学习网 Their backgrounds are vary from arts to sciences.
vary是动词,因此,are是多余的。又如:But Garrard is going to be relax. 一句,relax是动词,be是多余的。
举例来说:
学习啦在线学习网 Rather than waste of time in traffic jams.
学习啦在线学习网 这句句子中的of 是多余的,因为waste是及物动词。
举例来说:
...,where executives fly them in and out the same day.
学习啦在线学习网 这句句子中them是多余的,因为fly是不及物动词。
举例来说:
学习啦在线学习网 In addition to have formal lessons, participants have the opportunity to learn in social situations with trainers and fellow students.
In addition to中to是介词,后面要接上名词或动名词,不可以接上动词原形。所以应该去掉have。
宾语从句中that与what 或that 与if/whether的同时出现:在宾语从句中,我们不可以用两个连词来连接同一个句子。出题者往往会在宾语从句中同时使用 that和what或that和if/whether来考查学生是否掌握好基本的语法知识。
举例来说:
It really doesn't matter that what we pay for an investment.
学习啦在线学习网 在这句话中就同时用了两个连词。我们知道,pay是一个及物动词,要求接上宾语,what在这里充当pay的宾语,而that仅仅是起到连接的作用,没有实在的意义,所以 that是多余的。
举例来说:
学习啦在线学习网 They understand that if the really price of not training is the company failing behind as a result.
学习啦在线学习网 在这句话中同时使用了两个连词that和if ,根据句子的意思,我们可以判断出不含有"是否"之意,所以句中的if是多余的。
BEC商务英语:BEC短文改错解题方法
【常见错误】
学习啦在线学习网 惯用短语中出现多余的词语
在英语中有很多约定俗成的短语,我们经常称之为成语。这样的短语往往不可以随便增加或减少单词。在BEC中,这样的题目也经常出现,这主要是考查学生对惯用成语的识记能力。这就要求考生在平时学习的过程中要注重知识的积累。
例如:There is less need for managers to turn it up at the office every day. (turn up是"出现,露面"的意思,是固定的结构,所以it是多余的,应该删去。又如not long time ago中的time也是多余的;在"within+时间段"结构中如果出现the等也是多余的;at the first hand中的the是多余的。)
学习啦在线学习网 造成句式混乱的多余词语
对于这个方面的考查,主要集中在一些可以用于复合结构,又可以用于宾语从句的动词,出题者通过混用两种句式来达到测试的目的。解决这类题目的方法就是分析句子成分,看是复合结构还是宾语从句,并注意改错的要求。
学习啦在线学习网 例如:Today these mini-conference centers provide services are designed for business travelers. (这句话的主语中心词为centers,谓语为provide,宾语为services 。而后面的谓语动词are却没有主语,所以应该把are删去,用过去分词做后置定语。当然,在四六级考试中,我们完全可以在are前加上that或 which来构成定语从句,但是,在BEC中,由于没有漏词的情况,所以不可以这样改。)
又如:The other candidates seemed me to be very strong , and I have to say I found that the selection procedure really hard. (在这句话中,有两处错误,一个是seem的用法,一个是find的用法.seem的常用法为:seem to be/seem that/seem as if 等,不可以在seem后直接跟上人称代词。所以me是多余的,应该删去。而find的后面经常跟上that引导的宾语从句,如:I find that the work is really hard . 另外,find也经常用于复合结构,即"find + 宾语 + 宾语补足语"结构,如上面的句子也可以说:I find the work really hard . 在例句中是将这两种结构混合使用,所以应该将 that删去。又如上面所说,如果这是四六级的考题,我们完全可以在really前加上一个be动词,这样就成了find引导的宾语从句了。但是BEC 中是没有漏词的情况,所以大家在做题的时候要特别注意,做到符合题目要求。)
学习啦在线学习网 造成句意含糊或相反的多余词
学习啦在线学习网 这种类型的错误往往不容易发现。因为出题者通常是通过增加一个词,而这个词恰好与前后的词语构成一个考生熟悉的词组,从而让考生往陷阱里跳。有时候,这样的题目必须通过文章整体的意思才可以判断哪个词语是多余的,而有一些仅仅通过分析整个句子就可以发现。这种类型的题目考查了考生对语篇段落的把握能力。
例如:Yet now that there is strong interest , as travelers become aware of the new facilities . (根据逻辑我们知道,句子并没有"既然"的意思,而说的是现在的一种情况而已,出题者通过now that这个词组来干扰考生。很多考生看到now that是一个固定词组就认为没有错误,而没有对句子的意思进行分析,所以往往发现不了错误的所在,这就掉进了出题者所设的陷阱里。通过这道题也说明我们必须把握文章的意思,不能够仅仅根据语法对句子判断正确与否。)
学习啦在线学习网 又如:The work he has done is far away from satisfaction. (在英语中我们可以说far away from,如It's far away from here. 离这很远。但是后面跟上抽象名词的时候,我们要用far from,如far from completeness/enough 等。)
学习啦在线学习网 无to 结构出现多余的to
英语中的无to不定式主要有以下几种情况:
(1)在助动词或情态动词的后面要用不带to的不定式。(used to , ought to是本身带有to的;need作情态动词时不带to,作实义动词时带to;dare的用法跟need类似。)
学习啦在线学习网 (2)在半助动词had better , had rather , had sooner , would rather , would sooner等后面用不带to的不定式。
(3)在why开头的肯定和否定句后都用不带to的结构。
学习啦在线学习网 (4)在介词but , except , besides , than的前面如果出现了实义动词do,要用无to不定式作介词的宾语。 (5)在would you please 后要用不带to的结构。
(6)在感官动词和使役动词see , notice , hear , watch , observe , feel , find , look at , listen to , make , let , have , leave , bid的后面要接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语。
学习啦在线学习网 例如:They must to train for everything before the start of the competition . (must是情态动词,后面要接上动词原形,所以must后面的to是多余的,应该删去。)
学习啦在线学习网 又如:The boss always makes the workers to work overtime . (make后应该接上不带to的不定式作宾语补足语,类似这样用的动词还有see , hear , watch , feel , let , have , listen to , observe 等等.)
又如:The manager could do nothing but to wait for him to leave. ( 因为在but的前面出现了实义动词do,所以后面的动词必须是比带to的,因此to多余。)
无"如此"之意却出现so
对于so在BEC改错中的考查频率相对来说还是比较高的。考查的方向主要有两个,一个是句子本无"如此"之意而强加上so ,另外一个就是通过构成so的常用词组短语来测试考生的分析能力。
例如:Working with a manager you rarely see is now so far from usual , and ... (在这里只是说明一种现象,并没有"如此"之意,如果有"如此"之意,后面一般会出现that与之对应.)
又如:So how is "the best" personal assistant chosen from a group of so extremely good and very different individuals ? (这句话的原意并没有"如此"之意,所以,第二个的so 是多余的,应该删去.另外,含有"极端"意义的词语一般不用so修饰.)
抽象名词被可数化
抽象名词被可数化主要是指在不可数名词的前面用了不定冠词a 或an ,使不可数名词被当作可数名词使用。这主要考查考生对词性的把握能力。这类题目的解决方法就是平时学习过程中多注意积累,有些名词,如bread , paper , chalk在中文里是可数的,但是在英文里是比可数的。当然,对于一个不熟悉的名词,在考试中就只有通过逻辑来判断了。
学习啦在线学习网 例如:A poor financial management is one of the main reasons why business fails . (management是一个抽象名词,所以它属于不可数名词,前面的a是多余的)
又如:If you would like to receive a further information on working overseas, please do not hesitate to contact us. (information是不可数名词,不可以用a修饰,所以a是多余的。)
学习啦在线学习网 意义上重复造成的多余
这类词的考查主要集中在含有" 极端"意义或绝对概念的形容词或副词上,也就是本身含有"最"的意义的形容词或副词,如:comparative , relative , absolute , entire , excellent , perfect , total , through , utter , whole , complete , full , empty等,这些词语都没有比较等级,所以前面不可以用more , most来修饰这些词语。
例如:He is the most excellent worker of the company . (这句话中的excellent 已经含有"最"的意义,不需要再用most来修饰,所以most是多余的。)
构建虚假的定语从句
学习啦在线学习网 这类题目在BEC考题中会经常出现。出题者往往在一个简单句的谓语前加上一个which或that来构建一个虚假的定语从句。对于这类题目的解决方法就是分析句子成分,我们知道,定语从句中的that或which都是充当一定语法成分的,如果句子不缺少语法成分,那么句子中的that或which就是多余的。
例如:This experience which will also give you a chance to widen your outlook on life, encounter cultural differences and develop new skills. (在这个句子中,主语是this experience,谓语是give,后面的是give的宾语。所以,句子不缺少语法成分,which是多余的。)
学习啦在线学习网 又如:Staying with a host family that gives participants even more time to practise English. (在这个句子中,用了动名词做主语,谓语动词是give,后面的其它是宾语成分。句子主谓宾成分都不残缺,所以that是多余的,应该删去。)

学习啦在线学习网 As a manager in the service industry sector, I've looked at hundreds of CVs in my time. They are not necessarily the bland documents some bosses might think they are! They are full of little pointers towards individuals personalities and suitability for the job. The first thing I always look at is an applicant s employment record. I check for continuity and stability. If somebody has a long list of previous jobs, all of varying length, alarm bells start ringing. Rather than an irregular route from job to job, what I hope to see is stable career progression. What does their career path look like - is it all steps forward, or are there a lot of sideways moves? And I am always pleased to find a family person with children, because in my experience they tend to be responsible and reliable.
学习啦在线学习网 I never rely on CVs alone. We get applicants to fill in one of our own application forms. We ask why they've applied, what their aspirations and personal goals are, and also about their interests and hobbies and any clubs they belong to. That gives you a useful insight into their personality and lifestyle. The application form also enables us to test how much people have actually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.
学习啦在线学习网 It s always worth looking at CVs and designing application forms with great care. Taking on employees might be rewarding, but it is also a big investment for any business. Mistakes in choosing staff can cost companies dear, so it makes sense to spend time ensuring you get the right person.
In the service sector, one of the aims of companies is to maintain and improve customer service, and this is achieved partly through low staff turnover. You need to take on people who understand that, and will want to stay. That s why, when you've taken staff on, the next thing is getting the best out of them.
学习啦在线学习网 My management style comes from the days when I took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could turn into a profitable company. The first thing is to treat others as you d like to be treated yourself. As soon as I took over the business, I talked to everybody individually, and looked for ways to make sure their particular skills benefited the company.
学习啦在线学习网 I didn't have much experience then of managing people, but above all I always tried to be fair and honest with everyone. As a result, I think the staff knew that and accepted my decisions, even if they didn't agree with them all. Also, bosses must be able to communicate. You also need to create team spirit, and build on the strength of the team. I explained my plans for the company to all the staff, and let them all know what I needed from them. The lorry drivers responded brilliantly, and were the key to turning the business round. They understood that we had to develop a professional reputation, and from then on the days of poor quality deliveries were over.
学习啦在线学习网 Lastly, I am a great believer in profit-sharing. It takes a team to make a company work, so profits should be shared by all. Job satisfaction is important, but it doesn't pay the rent. Shared profit and bonuses help to strengthen team spirit by giving everyone a common goal that they work towards together.
15 What fact does the writer hope to learn from applicants CVs?
学习啦在线学习网 A that they have experience of many different jobs
B that their careers have developed steadily
C the opinion their employers had of them
D whether they are married or single
学习啦在线学习网 16 The writer says the application form is useful because it
A reveals something of the applicant s character.
学习啦在线学习网 B gives information about the applicant s family.
学习啦在线学习网 C explains what skills the applicant has for the job.
学习啦在线学习网 D shows how much the applicant wants to earn.
