4、ting a wide range of tasks,even though the transition between hasbeen more of an evolution than a revolution.The Myth of the Paperless Office,无纸化办公室神话。讲的是新技术对现代办公的影响。34题，meeting在这里不是特殊指代，只是叙述的一般情况。不需要使用定冠词the。35题,正确的36题，和上面的部分联系起来作为一个整体来考虑。paper,having alreadysurvived five thousand years of technolo
5、gical change,and has proved remarkablyresilient.中间的部分是插入语，可以不考虑，所以完整的应该是paper has provedremarkably resiliento主谓宾非常齐全，and是多余的。resilient是适应力强的，有弹力的。37题，used在这里是后置定语，修饰前面的paper,意思是每年使用的纸的总数，不需要for。38题，持续增长，用rise,rise up是起义的意思。39 题，the amount consumed in the UK,consumed 也是后置定语，表示英国的消费总量。it多余。40题，正确的41题，
6、in most peoples eyes在大多数人的眼里，of多余。42题，正确的43题，might have done表示可能已经做了某事，而这里的意思是指电子邮件等可能会被删除，不用have,去掉。44 题，Paul Blunt,a marketing manager for desktop products,who says therehas been significant progresso中间的部分是插入成分,不予考虑。完整的是PaulBlunt(who)says there has been significant progress.主语是人，i胃语是 says,后面是宾语，成分
7、齐全，who是多余的。45 题，the transition between has been more of an evolution than a revolution.依然是一个完整的句子，成分齐全，transition是主语，has been是谓语，between是多余的。商务英语考试中级阅读翻译考点解析三Another successful yearThe UK-based agricultural and garden equipment group PLT has had anothersuccessful year and is looking forward to the f
8、uture with confidence.The group,which also has distribution and fuel(19)zhas enjoyed record profits for the fifth yearin a(20).Pre-tax profits for the year(21)March 31 rose by 24 per cent to 4.2million.Total group sales(22)by five per cent to 155 million,with the agriculturalbusiness delivering yet
9、another record(23),despite the somewhat difficult trading(24)in the industry.Sales in the garden equipment(25)were slow in the earlymonths of the year,but increased dramatically in the final quarter.Chairman Suresh Kumar said,zlt is my(26)that we have continued to grow by(27)our customers well.I am

13、g D earning这是一篇总结性的文章，讲述了一个公司一年的业绩状况，形势喜人。19题，interests在这里的用法比较特殊，不是兴趣，而是股权，权益的证明:l)Something in which such a right,claim,or share is held:权益、债权或股权的证明：has interests overseas.有海外产权2)A person or group of persons holding such a right,claim,or share:持有此种权益、债权或股权的人或集团：a petroleum interest.石油业者20题，很显然意思是连
14、续五年利润创记录，in a row是固定短语、连续几次的，连续不断的;in a line是成一排。21题，年税前收益截至3 月 31日增长了 24%,达到了 420万英镑。the yearending March 3 1,表示以3 月 3 1 日结束22题，意思很明显，销售增长了 5%。climb有一种用法是指数量或水平的增长(to increase in number,amount,or level)o 例句：The temperature has climbedsteadily since this morning.23和 24题,虽然整个行业的贸易状况很困难，但是agricultural
15、 business创造了另一个创纪录的表现。25题，garden equipment division园林设备部。截至目前所做的解析，这个division已经是第二次在完形填空里出现了。26和 27题，It is my belief that我相信。我相信是因为好好对待了客户所以我们才会持续增长。28题，很高兴报告客户基数的持续增长。从意思上看可以排除C,A 和 B 都是比较正式的通知，选 D,报告。29题，customer base客户基数，这也已经是第二次考到了。30题，典型的客套话，感谢客户的支持。31题，新增了 58位新员工。takeup占据，拿起，继续，开始从事等等;takeback
16、拿回，收回;take on 一般做呈现讲，有雇佣的意思（朗文：to start t。employsomeone）,彳 列 句：Were taking on 50 new staff this year.take over32题，付出了持续不断的努力实现了这些结果。achieve是最地道的。疑问：23题为什么不能选D 做”示范讲?先从文章的内容来理解的话，23这个空说的是agricultural business的业绩好,表现好，用performance是很完美合适的具体说这个demonstration,的确有 示范 的意思，但在英英词典是这么解释的：“an act of explaining
17、and showing how to do something or how somethingworks,中文做 演示 讲所以用在这里是不合适的，并没有进行业绩演示你理解的 示范，应该是那种带有榜样性质的示范。单看中文意思很容易混淆商务英语考试中级阅读翻译考点解析一0 Regular meetings with clients are important to a healthy collaboration.They00 may be set up by the client,for example to review with the progress ofcurrent34 projec
18、ts,to give new instructions that may have lead to a contract variation35 or to discuss any concerns.The client meeting which can also be arranged37 address a problem unless that needs to be solved or to give an update orstatus38 report on current business ventures.Your part is in these meetings will

21、出不合适的词。所以想做好改错，要有一定的语言基础，还得从整体上把握整篇文章。34 题,如果这里有have,那么后面的lead应用分词形式led(may have done),而且考虑这里的时，并不是已经完成，而是表示可能导致的结果。所以去掉have。35 题，这里的which必须去掉，如果不去的话，这个句子就缺少谓语动词。36题，attract是及物动词，后面不需要from。37 题，根据前后文的意思，unless是多余的。38题，your part.这个句子里有两个谓语动词，必须去掉it。39题是对的，不知会不会有人认为这里的how可以去掉。从语法上说how去留都行，但是从后面的意思看，每个
22、人必须根据自己的角色来做准备工作，所以how必须保留。41题，deal with是固定短语，in是多余的。42题，从整个句子的意思和语法上看，0nly都是多余的。43题，如果both要保留，and后面的内容就必须与questions并列，可这里and后面的内容是与前面的to anticipate并列，所以both去掉。45题,后面的you are not familiar with是修饰matters的，as在这里很多余商务英语考试中级阅读翻译考点解析四Section ADirections:Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the wo
