4.BEC商务英语考试技巧篇四

因为BEC的资料不是很多，不可能像四六那样死做题。所以，一定要记得总结。下面我针对各个部分讲下我自己的一些总结(其中很多是武大培训班中老师总结的，呵呵)

阅读：阅读分五部分：

part1:

句段配对。就是给出7个句子和四段文章，将其配对。

Tips:

1. 对文章进行信息归类;

2. 对七个句子的内容进行归类;

3. 正确答案和文章不是字面上的一一对应，而是意义上的等同。

PART2

选句填空。共5题。一篇文章中间空出几句，根据下面的选项选出合适的句子使文章完整。

Tip:

注意空白处的上下文，注意连接词。做完后最好再通读一遍。

PART3

阅读理解。同四六级中的阅读理解。一般文章有六段，每段对应一个问题。问题是按顺序的，即第一题答案在第一段，第二题答案在第二段。

Tip:

关键是找依据，可以在关键词下面划线(试卷上可以随便写，随便划，不会有人看的，剑桥只管答题卡)。

PRAT4

完形填空。跟四六级的完形填空相同。但相对简单。因为是老外出的题，不像中国人喜欢咬文嚼字。考的都是固定搭配，常用结构，及助动词的用法。

PART5

改错。这跟四六级的改错有所不同。只有两种情况，要么是对，要么是多一个词。不会有其他情况。

关键：切记要看一整句，忌讳只看一行。多词主要是介词，BE动词，冠词等一些小词。

常见的错误有以下：

1. 将泛指内容特指化;

2. 时态不正确;

3. 对立性词语在文章中同时出现;

4. 词性的误用;

5. 宾语从句中what 与that， if与 whether同时出现;

6. 惯用短语中出现多余的词;

7. 造成句式混乱的多余的词;

8. 造成句意含糊或相反的多余词;

9. 无to结构出现多余的to;

10. 无“如此“之意却出现so;

11. 抽象名词被可数化;

12. 意义上重复造成的多余;

13. 构建虚假的定语从句。

听力：分三部分。PART1是三个小对话，每个对话填四个空。共12题。PART2是两题。每题7个独白。选正确的选项。共10题。PART3是长对话或者独白。共8题。试卷发下来一定要提前看一下。这样听的时候容易些。

PART1:

Tips:

1. 对话一般有6个回合，其中前两个回合多是打招呼，或者说明情况的，最后一个回合是感谢或者拜拜的，这些基本都是废话。正确答案往往在3-5回合。所以开头没有听清楚的同学千万不要紧张，不碍事的。

2. 一般是一句话中只填一个空，不会出现一句话要填两个空的情形。所以，如果你一下子听了两个答案，必然有一个是干扰项。

3. 听之前最好先predict.即看了提示想一下这个空会填什么?比如on后面的空很有可能是时间或者地点。

4. 注意词尾。包括ING，ED。如果你已经听出正确答案，而忘记加S或者ING，那就太可惜了。这点很重要，我们开始听的时候都会犯这样的错误。

5. 填的词语一般是原文出现的词。不要凭自己的想像。切次不会超过2个。所以如果你填了3个或者以上都是错误的。不过有时候会出现这种情况、比如你听到：a new job那么这时可以只填a job.

PART2:

一般分两种题型。一个是内容题。即要求你总结说话者的内容。二是观点题。即说话者的opinion。

Tips:

1. 审题很重要。如果不审题，就会感觉每个选项都是正确答案，因为都讲到了。所以要审题，看题目要求的是什么。

2. 了解选项。比如某JOB的职责。

3. 与原文一致的直接排除

4. 注意说话者的语气

5. 注意key words

6. 注意转折性的连词，尤其是but however.正确答案往往在后面。还有就是强调句。

PART3：内容以interview为主。一问一答。

Tips:

1. 题目是按行文顺序的;

2. 提干在对话中往往是近以表达;

3. 注意转折。和强调句。

作文：分两部分。PART1是小作文，40-50字，以MEMO和EMAIL为主。PART2大作文，通常是REPORT 或LETTER。140-150字。

注意按格式，信息完整就可以了。老师说BEC中的KISS原则：keep it simple and short!

这里提供给大家点有用的东西：

英语连词大总结：1.表时间的

when ,durning,at that moment,for a while,maenwhile,in the same time

2.表空间的

3.表递进关系的

in the end,at last,last but not the least,evently,finally,ultimately

9.表让步关系的

10.表比较关系的

11.表对比关系的

on the other hand,otherwise,however,neverthless,nonetheless

12.举例关系的

口语：这个就是多练就可以了。考试的时候提前去把topic搞到手。嘿嘿。

想要参加剑桥商务英语(BEC)考试的你一定不要错过以下内容。新东方在线BEC商务英语网为你准备了有关BEC商务英语中级考试听力训练技巧的内容，希望能够为你的学习提供帮助!

一般说来，应对BEC中级听力特别是短文听力，其备考训练必须抓住竖听和横听两点结合来进行。所谓竖听，是指一套题目从头听到尾，从第一题听到最后一题。所谓横听，是指把相同题材和体裁的文章放在一块对照比较着听，从而迅速抓住同类型文章的规律，真正做到以不变应万变。文章一般用记叙的语言讲述人物的经历，较少有情节的描写或人物对话。通过这样反复对比听，可以使我们很快掌握人物传记题材文章的模式和考题思路，在短时间内抓住考点，做到举一反三。

笔者在此提供一套具体的短文听力训练办法，考生可以从BEC中级历年考题中选取10-20篇不同题材和不同体裁的文章，依据以下几个步骤，横竖结合来进行精听训练。

Step 1：第一遍听磁带时认真做题，对所选取的每段文章都认真仔细，注意时间，模拟考场氛围。做完以后还需注意统计对错个数，并分析选项设置特点，练习快速扫描选项的能力。

Step 2：脱离文字材料再听4-5遍磁带。此时绝对不允许照着文字材料听，应该反复使用录音机上的重复键，尽最大努力听懂全文内容。听第5遍或第6遍的时候，可以一边听一边将全文笔录下来，然后对照文字材料，看看笔录有什么问题，分析听不懂的原因，是语音、词汇还是语法?然后有的放矢地加以解决。

Step 3：在足够熟悉此段落中的内容后，打开文字材料，一边听录音一边看，并在段落中相应考点和问题答案，仔细体会，分析自己为什么被某些干扰项误导。

Step 4：跟着磁带大声朗读，以提高自己的语速。如果自己的语速能基本跟上听力材料的语速，再做同类型题目，困难就不大了。

另外，练习过程中有一些事项值得我们注意，请大家养成良好的习惯，尽量避免：

1.鸵鸟式听法。很多同学听力过程中没有动手的习惯，听就是听，在做题时才努力回忆与该题有关的信息。甚至有同学喜欢闭着眼睛听或者把头低下来，伏在桌子上听，并认为这样注意力更集中，但这样往往容易走神，听的效率非常低。

2.多而不精。对于已经听过的材料，很多同学都很少再听，这是一个错误的观念。片面追求练习的量，并不能有效提高做听力题时的悟性，必须用心去感受才能收到显著的效果。

3.不愿对着文字材料大声朗读，认为听力就是听力，没有必要和朗读口语联系起来。其实听力考的是口头语言，口语提高了，听力也就自然而然上去了。同时朗读可以培养正确的语音语调，可以加强我们对文章的领悟力。

4.训练时间安排不得当。听力训练需要思想高度集中，故时间安排以每天精神最佳时候为宜。时间不宜过长,每次连续听半小时到一小时就可。另外，由于听力是一种习惯成自然的技巧训练，所以最好每天安排一段时间，切忌三天打鱼，两天晒网。

总之，BEC中级短文听力并不可怕，如果我们能够宏观把握，平时坚持“用心去听”，我们肯定能够从不同角度、不同层次提高自己的英语语言能力。

6.剑桥商务英语（BEC）写作考试应试技巧篇六

商务英语口语的学习我们该掌握哪些技巧呢?在我们的职场工作和生活中都会有商务英语的交流，下面我们看看BEC商务英语老师给我们的指点，

1. Be well prepared.

做好充分准备是成功的基本保障，这包括对考试风格，模式，题型和最新动态的熟悉，更包括大量的、有针对性的口语练习。但必须指出一点，准备的过程不应是背诵的过程。很多考生对自己在面试中的表现感觉良好，最终却对自己出乎意料的低分大吃一惊，百思不得其解，其实原因很简单：考官对考生背诵事先准备好的答案很反感，尤其当他/她听到同一种答案被很多考生重复使用时，那种令人作呕的感觉可想而知。在考官看来，Using a prepared answer is similar to cheating! 所以给准备BEC考试的考生一个忠告：Over prepared is often as harmful as under prepared.

Dear MR Ballard

You asked for a brief report concerning the recent events at the Southford Plant.

We have consulted the files and spoken to relevant members of the higher management and thus are able to provide an explanation for the breakdown reported in the press on 17 May of this year.

____1____ The handling equipment used to deliver the components to the assembly line has been known to be in need of an overhaul for the past six months. The plant has been working to full capacity to finish the American orders according to schedule.

As you know, we had commissioned a study by Industrial Research Consultants. ____2____ In it they warned that there was not enough space available to store sufficient components ____3____

We had decided to install fully automated robot system. However, at the same time it was clear to our production director that given the present maintenance staff, we would not have sufficient staff available if big problems were to arise____4____But we were still only working a two-shift system so the machines were not getting the necessary cover.

We all agree that the breakdown was extremely unfortunate and yet we must admit that, under the circumstance, it was not entirely unexpected.

We now believe that we have managed to sort out the major problems which we had been having with the conveyor equipment ____5____ Added to this is the fact that personnel department has been successful in recruiting some highly qualified maintenance staff who makes us confident that a repetition of the 16 May now seems entirely unlikely.

A. They also recommended expanding the present two-shift system to a three-shift one.

B. And also when the new robots are installed in September, we feel certain that such problems will become a thing of the past.

C. Unfortunately, as you know, there has been a major problem with recognizing the maintenance schedule.

D. The wide range oof machine we operate is not fully supervised at all times.

E. The cause of the breakdown was very simple.

F. They submitted their report on April 5.

G. There have been a number of delays and breakdowns in production recently which have been reported in the press.

H. The firm has been advertising for maintenance engineers for some weeks.

I. All the facilities in the plant will be coordinated to enable the workers to step up production of the new range of machines.

答案：1. E;2. F;3. A;4. H;5.B

BEC中级阅读材料：中国理财产品

中国银行业监管机构昨日表示，随着各银行扩大产品种类，最后一个季度中国个人理财产品销售额大幅飙升。

Sales of individual wealth management products in China shot up in the last quarter of as banks expanded their product offerings, the banking regulator said yesterday.

截至9月底，60家银行业金融机构推出了个人理财服务，如共同基金、保险产品和离岸投资产品。

By the end of September there were 60 banking institutions in China offering individual wealth management services such as mutual funds, insurance products and offshore investments.

20前三个季度，各银行此类产品销售总额为6000亿元人民币(合820亿美元)。

Together China’s banks sold Rmb600bn ($82bn) worth of such products in the first three quarters of 2007.

但中国银监会(CBRC)表示，预计2007年全年销售总量将达1万亿元人民币，原因是有更多的理财产品面世，同时客户将资金从生息的定期存款中转出。

But the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) said it expected that figure had jumped to Rmb1,000bn by the end of the year as more products became available and customers shifted money out of interest-bearing time deposits.

2007年11月份，中国通货膨胀率创下6.9%的高点，而一年期存款利率仅为4.14%，中国投资者面临着实际利率为负的局面，他们一直在寻求银行存款的替代品。

With inflation hitting an 11-year high of 6.9 per cent in November and the one-year deposit rate at only 4.14 per cent, Chinese investors are faced with negative real interest rates and have been looking for alternatives to bank deposits.

中国国内银行传统上依赖存贷款利差，目前政府正鼓励它们进行多样化调整。中国存贷款利率由央行制定，以确保国有银行能够盈利。

The government is actively encouraging Chinese banks to diversify from their traditional reliance on the spread between deposit and loan interest rates, which are set by the central bank to ensure profitability at the state-owned lenders.

去年6月份，银监会为大中型国有银行制定了目标，力争在未来5年至，中间收入在总收入中所占比重从目前的17 %左右升至40%-50%。

In June last year the CBRC set a target for large and medium-sized state-owned banks to increase their fee-based income from about 17 per cent of their total now to 40-50 per cent within the next five to 10 years.

多数全球规模最大的银行都在中国设立了业务，而去年，包括渣打银行(Standard Chartered)、瑞银(UBS)和汇丰(HSBC)在内的许多银行，已开始为拥有100万美元以上的客户提供私人银行服务。

Most of the world’s largest banks have set up operations in China and many, including Standard Chartered, UBS and HSBC, began offering private banking services available to clients with $1m or more to invest, last year.

德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)昨日宣布，已在北京注册理财业务，从而可以提供包括人民币存款和贷款在内的更多服务。

Deutsche Bank yesterday announced it had incorporated locally in Beijing, allowing it to offer more services, including renminbi deposit and lending services.

中国银监会昨日警告称，伴随着理财服务的增长，瞄准无知个人的欺诈案件数量也有所上升，此类案件的社会影响恶劣。

The CBRC warned yesterday that the growth in wealth management services had been accompanied。

BEC中级阅读材料：喝酸奶有益于牙齿健康

Eating yogurt and other foods laden with lactic acid may keep your gums from receding and teeth from falling out, Japanese researchers report.

Dr. Yoshihiro Shimazaki and colleagues found that consuming yogurt and lactic acid drinks was significantly associated with better periodontal health.

“But, milk and cheese were not,” Shimazaki said.

Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial condition associated with receding gums and tooth loss. Outside of regular brushing and flossing, effective measures to allay this disease are limited, Shimazaki, of Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, and colleagues note in the Journal of Periodontology.

Previous research identified a lower occurrence of periodontal disease among people who eat high amounts of dairy products, but did not identify which dairy products were most beneficial, the researchers report.

Shimazaki’s team assessed the severity of periodontal disease in 942 men and women, aged 40 to 79 years, and their intake of milk, cheese, and lactic acid foods.

They found that people with generalized (more advanced) periodontal disease had a lower intake of lactic acid foods than people with localized (less advanced) periodontal disease.

Compared with individuals reporting no lactic acid food intake, those eating 55 grams or more of yogurt (half an 6-ounce carton) or lactic acid drinks a day had significantly fewer markers of severe periodontal disease. The investigators made allowances for factors such as age, gender, smoking, alcohol intake, frequency of tooth brushing, blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

喜田岛崎博士及其同事发现，喝酸奶及其它乳酸饮料能显著改善牙周健康。

岛崎博士说：“但牛奶和乳酪没有这种功效。”

牙周病是一种慢性细菌感染性疾病，会引起牙床萎缩和牙齿脱落。日本福冈九州岛大学的岛崎教授及其同事在《牙周病学》期刊中提到，除了勤刷牙和用牙线清洁牙齿外，能够有效缓解这一疾病的方法比较有限。

研究人员在报告中称，此前的研究发现，食用大量乳制品的人患牙周病的几率较低，但未发现哪种乳制品的作用最突出。

岛崎教授领导的研究小组对942名年龄在40岁至79岁之间的男性和女性进行了调查，主要对他们所患牙周炎的严重程度以及摄入的牛奶、乳酪和乳酸类食品量进行了评估。

他们发现，弥漫性重度牙周炎患者所摄入的乳酸类食品量比局限性轻度牙周炎患者少。

与自称从不吃乳酸类食品的人相比，每天摄入酸奶或其它乳酸饮品55克或更多的人有严重牙周病症状的明显较少。研究人员还考虑到了年龄、性别、吸烟、饮酒、刷牙频率、血糖及胆固醇水平等各项因素。

Vocabulary:

be laden with:富含……

fall out: 脱落

intake:摄入量

make allowances for:考虑到……

BEC中级阅读材料：中国航空货运业

中国制造业的显著增长，促使航空货运公司争相发展其在华业务。然而，这可能成为一个业务规模扩张过大、速度过快的案例。

China’s spectacular manufacturing growth has left air freight carriers scrambling to develop their activities in the country. But it could be a case of too much, too soon.

两年前，从南京或上海空运货物至欧洲，每公斤运费高达4美元;如今的价格约为2.50美元。南京禄口机场副总经理徐勇表示：“在此项业务上仍有钱赚的航空公司非常少见。”

Two years ago, flying goods from Nanjing or Shanghai to Europe cost up to $4 a kilogramme; today it the price is about $2.50. “Very few carriers are still making money here,’’ says Xu Yong, vice-president of Nanjing airport.

由于机队扩张速度继续超出需求，航空公司正加剧中国一些机场的拥堵问题。徐勇警告称：“我们现在的飞机数量实在是太多了。”

As fleet expansion continues to outpace demand, carriers are adding to congestion problems at some Chinese airports. “We have just far too many planes now”Mr Xu warns.

荷兰航空公司Martinair副总裁弗兰克?德容(Frank de Jong)表示，中国空运货物出口量正以每年约10%的速度增长，而飞机货物运力的增幅约为25%。

Frank de Jong, vice-president at Martinair, the Dutch carrier, says the volume of Chinese exports by air is growing by about 10 per cent a year but aircraft cargo capacity is rising by about 25 per cent.

在亚洲，约半数货物在运输时都是放在定期客运航班的腹舱内。例如，在客运航空公司中，大韩航空(Korean Airlines)拥有全球规模最大的货运业务，其28%的收入来自航空货运业务。

In Asia, about half of cargo transported is carried in the belly of regular passenger flights. Korean Airlines, for example, has the world’s largest cargo business among passenger airlines, with 28 per cent of its revenue coming from air freight.

在美国，大部分航空货运业务由以UPS和联邦快递(FedEx)为首的专业货运公司负责。中国政府最近已进一步放宽了对上述两家公司的准入限制。

In the US, the bulk of air cargo is handled by the specialist freight industry, led by UPS and FedEx. The Chinese government has recently granted greater access to the two companies.

瑞士信贷(Credit Suisse)分析师彼得?希尔顿(Peter Hilton)表示：“美国公司可以向中国体系内注入更多运力，并承接向来由亚洲航空公司包揽的货运业务。”

Peter Hilton, analyst at Credit Suisse, says: “The Americans are being allowed to inject more capacity into the Chinese system and moving goods that would have traditionally gone to Asian carriers.”

中国政府已加大其发展国内航空货运业的努力，鼓励国内航空公司与经验更为丰富的西方货运公司合作。而就在不久前，中国政府的重点还几乎全放在航空客运业的改革和扩张方面。

Beijing has stepped up its efforts to develop a domestic air freight industry, encouraging its airlines to team up with more experienced Western cargo operators. Until recently, the Chinese government had instead focused almost exclusively on overhauling and expanding the passenger airline industry.

一位香港银行家表示：“从政治角度来看，运送旅客比运输货物更能建立声望，但政府已意识到，货运对出口驱动型的制造业领域至关重要。”

A Hong Kong banker says: “Politically, there’s a lot more prestige in helping move people rather than goods, but the government has woken up to how crucial freight is for an export-led manufacturing sector.”
