CHECKOUT OPERATORS
0 Supermarket checkout operators sit at electronic tills and fill in the prices of the

00 customer’s goods . This is now done by “scanning”, pass each such item over
34 a device that reads the bar-code on it and automatically registers it down in the
35 till . They may weigh some products , such as for fruit , on scales near the
36 till . When all the goods will have been scanned ,the till provides a total and the
37 operators take payment in the cash , by cheque or by credit or debit card , and
38 give a till receipt and any more change required . They provide bags , often
39 help to pack purchase , and change paper till rolls as being necessary
40 They also make it sure they have enough change , credit card forms ,and carrier
41 bags . Operators ring a bell or buzzer to summon for a supervisor to help
42 with problems , and put notes and cheques into bags for periodic collection .
43 They enter into their personal details in the till , so that their performance can be
44 analyzed later . The system offers supermarkets an efficient way of handling with a
45 large number of customers purchasing many products and helps to keep checkout queues to a minimum .
Answers: 34 DOWN 35 FOR 36 WILL 37 THE
38 MORE 39 BEING 40 IT 41 FOR
42 CORRECT 43 INTO 44 WITH 45 CORRECT
详细解释:00 句意是:把“每个”商品置于某一设备上,以读取条形码,such在此多余。
34 register是及物动词,不用再接上down。
35 这里出题者通过such as和as for来干扰考生,根据句子意思,我们可以知道for是多余的。
36 时间状语从句用一般现在时表将来。
37 用现金支付用"in cash"中间没有定冠词。又如in pencil / in ink 等。
38 Any more是“不再”的意思.句意为“任何”,要用any。
39 As后面常接形容词或过去分词,如as needed/as required.句中being多余。
40 Make sure是固定结构,中间没有it。
41 Summon是及物动词,直接跟上宾语即可。
42 这一行没有错误。
43 Enter在这里是“输入”的意思,不与into连用。
44 Handle是及物动词,不需要再接with ,注意与deal / do with区别开来。
45 这一行没有错误。

34 这一行没有错误。
35 over和more than都是“超过”的意思,在这里,than是多余的。
36 all用来修饰可数名词复数,不能够修饰earth。
37 在四六级中,我们可以用give delight to somebody但这里应该把give删去, delight用作动词,不可在delight后加上to,因为BEC中没有添词的改法。
38 get在这里用作系动词,后接形容词作表语,on是多余的。
39 appoint是及物动词,不必加上as,我们可以用appoint somebody as结构。
40 “情态动词+完成时态”表示 “本……而实际上没有……”短文没有此意,只是表示“拥有”的意思,所以qualified多余。
41 这一行没有错误。

43 本题考查show的复合结构, show + 宾语 + 形容词 / 名词 / 副词 :show him a good man / show him out 。
