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.

首先得搞明白的是這篇文章到底講的什麼。不用看具體內容，有兩個地方直接告訴了。一個是題目說明的第一句話，另一個是正文的標題。從這兩個地方就可以看出全文探討的是公司未來接班人——也就是潛力股——的培養問題。

A段講了TLRG這個貫穿全文的研究組織誕生的原因：現行的研究滿足不了需要，於是大多數公司只能自己探索發掘接班人的模式;(即第五題的答案)

B段講了直屬經理(line managers)對於發掘接班人的重要性(真是幹什麼都要從基層抓起)，以及經理們的一些疑慮;

C段講的是接班人問題對公司的重要性，並且應該讓院線經理們明白這種重要性;轉自:考試網 - []

D段是針對前面列出的問題，提出的解決建議，什麼專家協助等等。

整篇文章分爲四個部分，層層遞進，有很強的邏輯性。拿這樣的文章來做閱讀材料應該是相對容易把握的。

　BEC高級閱讀：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.

　　商務英語(BEC)高級閱讀應試技巧

第一部分到第三部分主要是考對文章整體理解，難度比較大，也比較花時間，所以這三部分可以花半個小時到40分鐘的時間。第四部分到第六部分主要考語法、固定搭配和用詞，是很基礎的東西，而且文章比較短，所以大概6分鐘一篇也可以完成。

a) 第一部分，文段中的某些內容可能會在8個句子中提到，但是句子的用詞會比較簡單。首先認真閱讀前面8個句子，畫出關鍵詞，然後看文段，把相關的詞語畫出來，每看完一個文段就找對應的句子，把文段中相關信息標上對應句子的序號，方便檢查。過程中會出現很混亂的情況，因爲有些答案很隱蔽，也會有很多幹擾信息，所以必須很認真地閱讀。需要多練習找感覺，要很有耐心，一般後兩個文段的對應句子多點。

b) 第二部分，考查對文章結構的把握和整體理解，抽出來的句子一般都是很有邏輯關係的。認真閱讀文章，理清文章思路，特別仔細看空格前後句子，看空格處應該放轉折關係還是順接關係還是其他，預測一下空格中要填的意思，然後從後面7個選項中尋找，如果找不出來就先放着，先做後面的，要畫出關鍵詞，特別是錶轉折，表原因，表結果的詞、these,that等代詞，和人稱代詞等，這些都是答案提示。也是需要多聯繫找感覺，6個空格中應該有一兩個是比較容易選的。(這 part是我覺得最難的，我經常錯一半甚至以上)

c) 第三部分，考查對文章的整體理解。一般是6個段落對應6個題目，所以看一段做一題。考的都是對整體段意的把握，不考細節。做這種題經常會出現看了答案以後還覺得自己沒有選錯的情況，四個選項中只有一個是整體理解，其他都是斷章取義。

d) 第四部分，主要考查固定搭配和詞語辨析。四個選項經常都是意思相近的，但有些是固定搭配，這種就是考基本功了，記得那個短語的就不難選了;難一點的就要區分四個詞了，根據上下文選。

e) 第五部分，主要考固定搭配和定冠詞，連接詞的使用。空格處填的基本上都只有唯一答案的，所以一般不會是動詞、形容詞和副詞，除非固定搭配。這題看上去很簡單，但是也很容易錯，所以要非常仔細。建議拿一本本子作爲錯題本，把錯的題都記錄下來，因爲每次考的都是這些考點，全部掌握了出錯機率就小了。

f) 第六部分，主要考語法，經常會出現多主語，多動詞等，但是咋看上去又不覺得有什麼錯誤的，所以要非常仔細，認真分析句子的結構。也建議弄一本錯題本。做多了對這些錯誤就敏感多了。
