BEC剑桥商务英语 高级成绩分析
BEC成绩单分析，个人观点
大家都关心BEC到底怎么批卷，下面我来分析一下
可以肯定的一点是，听说读写四部分各1/4，也就是25% 也有说总分120，折算成百分制的，这个也是一个可能
本文直接取百分比计算
真题集前面有一页有笼统的描述，最后折算成百分制（最后成绩单里的XX/100其实应该是百分比）
其中写作和口语都是按5分制评，也就是1-5分，5分理论不会有，也就是4.5最高
口语有一个很重要的地方是，第一部分自我介绍的时候只要不是太过分，是不会给你扣分的，自我介绍的时候你们注意下老师根本没开始计分，都在忙活别的，那部分是给你时间适应考试的；真正的计分是从第二和第三部分开始，估计也是每部分4.5分最高
高级写作有俩大作文，每个也是4.5分最高
假设口语的23部分分值相同，两个作文分值也相同，那么……
4 - 10%，
4.5 - 11.25%
3.5 - 8.75%
3 -7.5%
2.5 – 6.25%
也就是说写作的两部分都是4分的话25%里你能拿20%，俩都是3.5的话就是17.5%，口语也同理。举例：作文俩4分，口语俩4分，总得分就是40%
写作也同理，真题答案后面的例文里4分就算高分，估计写作剑桥那边要求很严，4分就算到顶了，也就是写作基本上能拿20%就到顶了，毕竟是英国人批的作文，在他们眼里我们的写作估计和我们眼里学中文的老外写的差不多……
（当然也不排除写作有4.5分的，5分的就不提了）
也就是说，口语和写作你全都是4.5最高分，加起来也只是45%，那5%估计是剑桥的面子分，不让你有机会拿100分的……
下面做局部分析：
个人估计Borderline肯定是局部得分60% 最顶上是100%的话（阅读还是有大神能拿100%的，听力也不排除有人能拿满分）那么Good线就是局部得分73.33% Exceptional 线是局部得分86.66%
阅读和听力自己目测的话四部分我的局部得分是85% 80% 68% 75%，折算21.25+20+17+18.75=77，也就是说要么Borderline不是60，要么最顶上不是100%，再就是打印的位置没那么准（估计是这个）（非要抠的话，我的局部得分大概是阅读83% 写作78% 听力65%口语74% 分别乘以1/4换算成总分是20.75+19.5+16.25+18.5=75（为啥是74呢，为啥……估计那边没有四舍五入这一说……或者实在是打印没那
么准……）
PS：局部得分要再乘以1/4才是整体得分
建议把重点放在听力上，天天听提高还是比较明显的，口语的时候自信点，避免低级句子、说的地道点、口语化点、专业化点，分数就不会低
写作分期数好拿，多背点专业句型，这部分写的漂亮不如写的专业
说说阅读吧：
阅读就不说了，必须保证70%左右正确率，毕竟听力口语真心不好拿分，只能靠阅读写作来补。可以估计一下自己的分数，假设某同学听力和口语都不太好，估计都在borderline上下，这两部分加起来能拿约25%，写作能拿一个3.5一个3，拿到16.25%，还差18.75%及格，那么阅读那25%里你要在阅读的局部得分为75%才能整体拿到60%拿证。
阅读那52道题里，听说是难度大的题分值高，也就是说阅读题和分类题占的比例大，插句子的题次之，改错分值最低，具体同学们自己斟酌哈，毕竟也有可能52道题分值都一样的，也就是说每道题不到0.5分。
听力30道题，平均每道题0.8分多一点，也不排除有分值分布问题，毕竟听力也是前面难后面简单。
个人建议，仅供参考

新剑桥商务英语高级习题 答案 Last revision date: 13 December 2020.
English for Business Studies Key to Unit 01: The three sectors of the economy This unit covers a lot of basic vocabulary concerning developed economies much of it in an extract from a well-known British novel. It also discusses the evolution of the economy of most of the older industrialized countries, with the decline of manufacturing industry and its replacement by services. There is an extract from a magazine interview with an economist and an interview with a British Member of Parliament on this issue. 1a Vocabulary p09 Identify the most prominent features in this photograph, which illustrates various important elements of the infrastructure of a modern industrialized country. The photo clearly shows a large factory (the Unilever factory in Warrington, England) in the center, with more factories, industrial units, or warehouses in the top right-hand corner. The large factory seems to include some office buildings. Also visible are agricultural land (in the background; the land in the foreground doesn’t appear to be cultivated), a river, a railway and several roads, and housing, perhaps with a school in the center of the housing estate top left. 1b Reading p10 What is the key point that this extract is making about economies? The text suggests that most people take for granted the amazing complexity of the economic infrastructure. 1c Comprehension p11 lines 4-7, Robyn sees examples of all three. What are they? Tiny fields (the primary sector), factories (the secondary sector), and railways, motorways, shops, offices, and schools (the tertiary sector). long sentence from lines 12-28 lists a large number of operations belonging to the different sectors of the economy. Classify the 18 activities from the passage Primary sector: digging iron ore, mining coal. Secondary sector: assembling, building, cutting metal, laying cables, milling metal, smelting iron, welding metal. Tertiary sector: advertising products, calculating prices, distributing added value, maintenance, marketing products, packaging products, pumping oil, transportation. you think of three important activities to add to each list (not necessarily in relation to the kettle) Primary sector: farming (agriculture), fishing and forestry Secondary sector: manufacturing, transforming and processing Tertiary sector: financing, designing, retailing

BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5)
BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5) In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need. Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated. From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life. Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the

7.1 Strengths and weaknesses (page 67) 1I admire my boss a lot. He’s very capable;he knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty,not like some managers who think they’re above it all. The one problem is that he takes on too much. I don’t think it’s because he doesn’t trust us to do a good job--it’s because he likes to be involved in everything. He ‘s a bit of control freak. The result is that he spreads himself very thin, when he could hand more work out to others, and he’s often overloaded and stressed. 2 Cheryl’s not particularly brilliant, but she knows that. She knows her own limitations, which is certainly one of her strengths. In fact, I don’t think you have to be particularly bright to be a manager-- that’s more a quality you need in a leader. A manager’s job is to bring order to the workplace and the team, so that people are clear about what they should be doing and when they should be doing it. Cheryl is very good at getting everyone working in the most efficient way and that makes our working environment much less stressful. 3 He’s not an easy guy to work for. He has very high expectations of his staff and he can be rude and too direct. Sensitivity is not his strong point. He often puts you on the spot: ‘What makes you think this will work?’‘Have you thought about the cost of this?’and so on . You have to be prepared to justify your actions a lot. Some people can’t stand being challenged like this all the time, but you can’t deny that he gets the most out of his staff. People do perform. 4 There are people who listen to what you are saying, and people who hear what you are saying. Paul is one of the former. He does try to listen to other people’s ideas, but his mind has often moved onto the next thing, and he doesn’t take on board what you’re saying. It’s the same thing when he’s expressing his own ideas and wishes. He kind of takes it for granted that everyone has reached the same point in their thinking that he has, when often they’re still two or three steps behind. Don’t get me wrong, he’s very nice guy--kind and clever, and he has lots of great ideas and vision for the company--but because of these communication difficulties, he can be very frustrating to work for. 5 The financial rewards in our company are not so huge, but in spite of that, in my team we all stay very motivated because our boss really appreciates our work. She’s actually very protective of her own people. She gives us a lot of praise. Other people in the company say she’s a maverick, a kind of a loner. They say she’s difficult to get on with and doesn’t really have the company’s interests at heart. But I wouldn’t known about that really, because it’s not the side of her that we see. What we get is 100% loyalty and encouragement.
