剑桥商务英语中级考试历年真题阅读精讲（5）

0 Regular meetings with clients are important to a healthy collaboration. They
00 may be set up by the client, for example to review with the progress of current
34 projects, to give new instructions that may have lead to a contract variation
35 or to discuss any concerns. The client meeting which can also be arranged
36 by you or another member of your company to attract from new business, to
37 address a problem unless that needs to be solved or to give an update or status
38 report on current business ventures. Your part is in these meetings will dictate
39 the kind of information you need and how you should prepare for them. If you
40 will be responding to questions put by your client, the material you present
41 should deal in specifically with the request that was made. The meeting should not
42 only move off the agenda without the permission of the person you are meeting.
43 If you have prepared properly, you should be able to anticipate both questions and
44 to respond properly. If you are put on the spot and asked for details you do not
45 have, respond honestly - do not speak about matters as you are not familiar with.

　　一般短文改错常出现的错误有短语搭配、语法，还有根据上下文含义选出不合适的词。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），而且考虑这里的时态，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，only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。
