一个组织内部的上下级沟通真的太重要了。
第一题，说真正的反馈可以释放用在别处的资源。
意思上真正的反馈可以让人腾出精力。
答案是E段的第一句：
Whenjudgementisreplacedbyfeedbackinthetruesense,organizationswillhavealotmoretimetodevotetotheircustomersandtheirbusiness。
这题的意思还算比较明显，feedbackinthetruesense，就是genuinefeedback，devotetotheircustomersandthebusiness,就是把资源释放在别的地方。
第二题，说经理们是被期望着使员工工作得更有效率。
答案是C段的最后一句：
Itismanagement’sresponsibilitytoensurethattheworkersoperateinasystemthatfacilitatestheirperformance.经理们的责任，也就是managersareexpectedto，有利于他们的表现，就是enabletheirstafftoworkeffectively。
第三题,说专家不大可能有利于真正反馈的进程。
答案是E段的最后一句：
whichalmostcertainlywillnotbeforthcomingfromthehumanresourcesprofession。
人力资源专家，就是experts。
需要理解下这里的forthcoming的含义：
willingtodivulgeinformation.（人）愿意透露消息的。
专家们不愿意透露消息，也就是不能指望专家来facilitate。
第四题，说商讨评估表现的方法是有利的。
答案是在C段，有点分散。
前面说Themeasurehasbeenworkedoutbetweentheoperatorsandtheirmanager。
这个措施是在操和经理们之间拟定的。
betweentheoperatorsandmanagers，也就是评估表现的方法是被商讨了的。
后面介绍的情况都是这个measure有多么的好：
isthebasisoffeedback。
综合起来，就是选项说的，商讨是有好处的。
第五题，说评估倾向聚焦于员工和他们直属经理们之间面对面关系的性质。
这个选项可能会弄的人一头雾水，首先得弄明白这里的面对面关系指的是什么。
员工和直属经理的关系，就是上下级的关系，过分看重这个关系，那么在评估过程中就会有顾虑，谁还敢揭自己上司的短?
所以这个句子的意思是说评估过程中有顾忌，无人敢说真话。
答案是D段的这么一句：
Thustheappraisalexperiencebecomesaquestionofpleasingtheboss。
评估过程成了讨好自己的老板，说的就是这个意思。
P.S：
这是我个人对这道题的理解，大家有异议，可以提。
第六题，说员工对他们所作负责的想法听起来很合理。
答案是B段的第一句：
Thenotionbehindperformanceappraisal-thatworkersshouldbeheldaccountablefortheirperformance-isplausible。
这里的accountable就是负有责任。
Plausible是貌似真实的，也就是seemsreasonable。
第七题，说虽然有专家们的主张，管理层的结构阻止了真正的反馈。
答案是A段的这么一句：
thesimplefactofthematteristhatthenatureofhierarchydistortstheconceptoffeedback。
管理层的机构，就是这句里提到的thenatureofhierarchy，等级制的性质。
这个单词在BEC阅读里常出现。
distort，扭曲，就是选项里的prevent。
第八题，说在评估过程中投入了更多的努力。
答案是A段的这么一句，有点隐晦：
Nowthepracticeisevenmorefrequent.Thisofcoursemakesitallthemoreimportanthowappraisalisconducted.这个句子是紧跟上文的，thepractice指的就是appraisal。
评估的更频繁，评估是怎么进行的显得更加重要。
认为更加重要了（makesitallthemoreimportant），就会投入更多努力了。
综合起来，这些的意思就是评估过程投入了更多的努力。
不太容易看出来。
