1、2022年商务英语（BEC）高级第二辑真题阅读练习（11）商务英语考试是由英国剑桥大学考试委员会负责命题，阅卷，颁发证书，其题型的灵活性和实用性不言而喻；而商务英语高级（BEC高级）的难度也不容忽视，所以为了帮助大家有效的备战商务英语高级考试，这里我们网站整理了历年的阅读真题，并且附有答案解析，希望可以帮助大家！总结下以下这篇阅读，可以说难度明显比中级的上了一个档次。中级的阅读算的上是同义词转换，选项中的词都可以在原文中找到意思相近的。而高级的这篇阅读，选项非常概括和抽象，不再只是对原文某一句话的简单总结。原文的信息虽然具体，但是很散。选项和原文就不是一个路数的文字。要想保证准确率并提高解题速

2、度，一定要能迅速判断原文的大致内容，概括能力要强。多练多总结，这才是做BEC真题的关键。Intermsofpurequantityofresearchanddebate,businessschoolshaveperformedamazinglyinpromotingmanagementasadistinctiveactivity.Nootherdisciplinehasproducedasmuchinsuchashortperiod.Itisunclearyethowmuchofitwillstandthetestoftime,butforsheerindustry,thebusinesssc
