bec中级听力教材推荐
bec中级听力教材推荐我们在bec考试前总会买一些教辅资料帮助我们提高英语水平，备考bec，那么你们知道有哪一些比较好的bec中级听力教材吗？下面小编就给大家分享一下。
bec中级听力教材推荐1、BEC中级学生用书(经济科学教育出版社)2、新东方BEC中级词汇精选3、新编剑桥商务英语口试必备手册(经济科学教育出版社)4、BEC中级真题集2、3、4期(人民邮电出版社)中级BEC听力—我的备考攻略BEC中级听力考试共分三个部分：1.根据三篇短小的电话录音填空;2.多选项搭配题;3.多项选择题。
下面具体说说BEC中级听力考试各部分内容与考试技巧。
第一部分根据三篇短小的电话录音填空填的内容主要是单词、数字。
这部分主要考查考生捕捉具体信息的能力。
录音内容主要是询价、订货、邀请、要求、提意见、计划、定座、安排及对要求和安排的确认等。
应试技巧：在做这部分题时，一定要充分利用听前的15秒钟把题目内容迅速看一遍，并根据自己的经验积极预测需填的信息。
所填内容一定是听力材料中所出现的单词或数字，每空只填一或两个单词。
常考的具体信息有姓名、地名、公司名称、部门名称、其他事物名称、数字、代号、型号、电话号码、价格、时间、证件号码、距离数、体积、容积数等。
要边听边记，时间很紧，建议大家利用速记方法，只记单词的几个字母，等听第二遍录音时再补充完整，注意单词的拼写，尤其要注意单复数、过去式、过去完成式、现在分词、过去分词等各种拼写形式。
第二部分是多选项搭配题这部分共分两组，每组各有5个短小独白，旁边各有八个选项。
考生必须从旁边八个选项中选出五个选项与每组的五个独白分别搭配。
主要考查考生总体听力技能和推断能力、识别话题、场所、功能、获得主旨等能力。
应试技巧：常考题目包括谈话主题、谈话者、谈话发生地点、谈话发生时间、谈话数量、谈话原因等。
在做这部分题时，一定要充分利用听前的15秒钟把所给选项迅速看一遍，并根据自己的经验积极预测可能听到的内容。
要边听边记，时间很紧，建议大家利用速记方法，只记单词的几个字母。
选择时不要过于匆忙，这部分题在听时一般都找不到明显线索，需要逐步构思，提炼才能得出答案。
第三部分是多项选择题是一段大约500字左右的听力材料，听完后完成8个选择题。
材料范围很广，有采访、讨论、演讲、发言、广播等。
出题重点是细节和主旨。
主要考查考生的听力理解能力，记忆力，做记录的能力。
应试技巧：一定要利用好放听力前的45秒，争取把所有的题都看一遍。
如果实在看不完，就看题干。
带着问题去听要比盲目听效果好很多。
题目的顺序和听力材料的顺序是一致的，可以边听边做题。
听时适当做听力记录，还要积极利用已有的知识对听力内容进行预测，逻辑和推理能力也是很重要。
各个题目的相关度也不大，所以千万不要因为一二道题没听懂就放弃后面的题。
听到不会的单词时，可以尝试猜测，如果不能马上猜到，就要学会迅速放弃。
不要执著思考某个单词的意思，因为这会影响下面的答题。
BEC中级听力技巧实用的技巧还是必不可少的。
众所周知，BEC中级听力考试是最容易出现意外状况的，如无法集中注意力错过题目、来不及审题等，从而严重影响成绩。
那么有哪些听力技巧能帮助大家在BEC的听力考试中沉着应考，充分发挥出自己的水平呢。
1.集中注意力技巧在熟悉题型的基础上，听力备考练习的时间也非常关键，BEC的听力考试不同于其它大多数考试，是安排在阅读和写作考试之后进行的，也就是上午11点左右时间开始。
因此在考前一个月左右的时间，建议大家安排上午11点这个时间多进行听力的练习，以确保这个时间自己的“听力开关”是打开的状态。
2.快速审题技巧首先要非常熟悉听力题型，不光是题目呈现形式，题目间隔的时间和读题时间都要烂熟于心。
反复利用官方真题进行练习，是了解这方面细节信息的最佳方式。
另外，大家要注意熟悉题干信息。
仔细观察大家不难发现，相同题型的题干部分信息是基本相同的，只是个别keywords不同。
所以在听录音时完全不必听题干介绍的部分，快速扫读下keywords即可。
这样省去大量时间，可以用于提前阅读题目具体内容及选项，为后面理解录音内容奠定基础。
3.如何消除听力考试的紧张情绪特别提醒容易在听力考试紧张的同学，如果因为紧张或是其他原因错过某个句子或是相关信息，不要慌!BEC听力考试的所有录音都是放两边的，第一遍不要硬性要求自己给出完美的答案，只要做到熟悉录音，回答有把握的题目就足够了。
合理利用好第二遍则十分关键，查缺补漏，第一遍听得云里雾里的内容说不定第二遍就豁然开朗了。
总之沉重应对最为重要。
能否在BEC中级考试听力部分取得较高的分数，取决于三个方面：(1)是否具有良好的英语听力;(2)对商务及相关行业的基本知识及词汇是否熟悉;(3)对BEC2考试听力部分的题型及其特点是否了解。
BEC听力特点和对策BEC听力考试中较为困难的应该是判断整个听力内容的基本情况，而不过分注重一些细枝末节。
这样就要求大家能够在听力材料刚开始播放时就能大致地把握住听力的主要内容和可能涉及的场景。
那么即使出现个别生难词，大家也可以根据对其内容的整体把握，推断或猜测出问题的正确答案。
下面，我们就来了解一下BEC听力题型的核心特点，只有熟悉其题型特点，才能更有针对性地找到解题"武器"，从而抓住听力答题的核心和关键!特点一：语音构成复杂，有背景音或杂音。
BEC听力考试英音居多，占整个听力的80%左右，有时也会出现美音或其他口音，这就要求考生在平时的训练中对英音培养一定的敏感度。
听力形式往往模拟真实的商务场景，比如接打电话的形式，会有一个人声音较轻，不易捕捉，要求考生在听力的过程中始终保持专注度和注意力高度集中。
平时练听力时多注意连读、弱读、重读等现象，同时，多积累并掌握一些常见的英美发音迥异的单词(如：schedule，itinerary，garage，leisure，clerk等)和发音特殊的单词(如：aisle，receipt，coupon，brochure 等)。
教研君在这里要重磅推荐大家学习视频系列《步入商界(Staring Business English)》，纯英式发音，内容为商务活动中的交际用语，有助于大家积累英音的发音规则和特点，掌握常用商务表达。
特点二：商务背景知识(单词和表达)较常见。
根据语言学习的规律，背景知识对听力水平有着重要的影响。
国内外很多语言学专家在谈到背景知识的作用时普遍认为：在听听力的过程中，考生对听力内容的熟悉程度有时要比其本身的语言水平更重要。
因此，要想有效地解答BEC听力题，其关键在于：平时工作生活中多关注商务新闻，多阅读外文期刊(如：Financial Times，The Economist，Newsweek等)，多听BBC新闻或充分利用沪江听写酷反复操练听力，从中多熟悉积累商务背景知识。
此外，在平时做题或看书的过程中，多记录商务专业词汇、固定搭配或习语表达，有意识地强化反复记忆，达到一听就能反应出来意思的效果。
这样备考更有针对性，能够理解并从容应对考试中将会遇到的各种听力素材，从而收到事半功倍的效果!"手里有货，心中不慌"就是这么简单的道理。
特点三：考点设计的隐蔽性较强，陷阱较多。
BEC听力考试在干扰项设置方面颇费心思，这也就意味着考点设计的隐蔽性较强，有处处挖坑设陷阱之势。
一般来说，干扰项的设置原则有：①答案置后原则(e.g. 开头提出一些所谓的原因，而将真正的原因放在最后);②原词重现原则(e.g. 说话人会以较快的速度让考生听到一些"提示"，通常是一些支言片语，用来迷惑考生，而这些"提示"中的文字往往直接出现在选项中)。
在这里为大家总结出一条规律：正确答案和听力原文通常存在同义置换的对应，这就要求考生需具备较高的识别判断和同义置换的能力，即"换一种方式表达或说明同一含义"，而不是简单的原词重现，这是解题的关键所在!BEC中级听力提分训练技巧一般说来，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。

BEC(剑桥商务英语)中级备考经验
BEC(剑桥商务英语)中级备考经验为了让大家更好的准备商务英语BEC考试，给大家整理BEC 中级备考干货,下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
1.BEC高级心得今晚查的高级成绩，本来准考证号上写的19号才能查，但其实高级成绩15年12月12号就已经可以查了!【坑啊等了好久的说=。
= 大家记得保留好自己的准考证，以及BEC差成绩的网站：https:///Members/Login.aspx 【个人基本情况】大三在读，旅游管理专业女生;四级611，六级579;复习时间：一个半月，直接考的高级;总分：73，Grade C。
四个部分得分如下：下面我就口语-阅读-听力-写作的顺序谈谈我对这四部分的感受，末尾附上所买资料：【口语Speaking】·找搭档：我在考试前一个半月报的名，然后发了个征集高级口语搭档的朋友圈，和一位外国语学院的妹子一拍即合。
但是我们平时基本零交流，直到考试之前两天才正式见了面，大概交流了一下对口语题目的感受，星期六就直接上考场了。
个人觉得搭档不会对成绩起到决定性的作用，不过有搭档比没搭档更保险，尤其是平时比较少开口讲英语的小伙伴来说。
·临场练习：正式口语考试之间中间有吃饭+排队时间，大概为2个半小时，我们练了3个话题左右，采用的是互相问答的形式。
事实证明临阵磨枪还是有一定效果的，她之前考过中级，有一定的经验，比如坐下来的时候搭档之间可以互相打招呼不用太死板，还有给自己想好英文名，考官会在开场的时候问到等等。
·排队候考：有一点值得注意的是，经过上午3个多小时的考试，再加上中午没午休，下午在排队等口试的时候人已经很疲乏了，大家可以趁机趴在桌子上休息一会儿，或者直接跟老师申请快点考(我们那里是可以的)，以最饱满的精神完成最后的口语。
我们在门外候场的时候，前面两个考生从里面出来，说考官问到有关环境保护的问题，结果我们进去的时候也考到了!考官的问题是打印在一张纸上面的，所以后面重复的可能性也很大，不妨问问考完的考生问的是什么问题，适当准备一下。

BEC 中级听力Part 3范例 Customer Service
Customer ServiceYour company is decided to monitor the quality of service provided. You have been asked to help with this. Discuss the situation together, and decide:●What are the ways to monitor the quality of service●What measures the company can take to improve the quality of serviceA: It is very important for a company to monitor the quality of service. If customers are not satisfied with the company’s service, the company will lose customers. I think one way of monitoring the quality of service is to obtain feedback from customers to see how the business has met customers’ expectations.B: You are right. You should know where our company has fallen short in providing value for customers. We can visit our customers, call them, send out written questionnaires and set up a hot line for customers to express their opinions about our service.A: Good idea. In addition to getting feedback from customers, we can also check sales figures regularly. Sales figures can indicate the degree of customer satisfaction. If sales figure goes down, then there may be some problems with our service, because we are losing customers.B: What can we do if we want to improve the quality of our service? I think one effective way is to train our staff. We must invite some experts to train our staff to improve staff friendliness, the speed of service and learn to deal with customer complaints.A: We can also hire experts to pose as routine customers to evaluate the quality of service. Another way to improve the quality of service is to offer timely service. We must provide the service precisely as it is promised and in the minimum amount of time.What is important when …？Dealing with customer complaints●Remaining calm●Suggesting a solution to the problemWhen customers complain, it’s important that staff should apologize first, because customers must be very upset when they are dissatisfied with the product or service. At this time, employees should remain calm and collected, listen to the complaints and apologize for the problem. This way the customers may feel that they are taken good care of.Suggesting a solution to the problem is also important. An apology is not enough; employees should also try to deal with the existing problems. Customers complain because they have problems with our product or service, and they want their problems solved. If customers feel they are understood and their problems get solved appropriately, they will continue to be the consumers of the company.It is also important that employees should not make any promises that they cannot keep. If employees can not keep promises, customers may get disappointed, and then, they may switch to other producers.。

The deadline has already been set. How about submitting it later in the day?Sarah: Well, instead of submitting it late, why don't we work on it together? I think we can finish it on time if we collaborate.Question: Sarah suggests working on the report together.答案解析：根据对话内容，我们可以得出Sarah提议说他们一起工作来完成报告，因此选项C是正确答案。
BEC中级听力技巧汇总
BEC中级听力技巧汇总为了让大家更好的预备商务英语BEC考试，我给大家整理bec 中级听力技巧,下面我就和大家共享，来观赏一下吧。
1.BEC中级“听力”应试技巧对技巧：1 播放录音前的一般会有几分钟的时间。
快速在试卷上划出关键词。
三个会话都划完后，小声重复这些关键词，这样会留下较为明确的印象。
不要希望说话人会在提及空格内容之前说出与空格部分前的字句完全全都的字句。
说话人往往说出与空格部分前字句意思相同的其他表达，包括使用近义词，近义句，就是paraphrase。
但是地点、数字、商品规格是要原原本本的填入的。
2 争取在听第一遍就完成大部分空格，在其次遍时完成并校对全部空格。
3 空格挨次完全根据录音的挨次。
4 空格部分包括：单个名词或形容词;两个名词构成的结构;一个形容词和一个名词构成的结构;动词加名词的结构;数词。
考生记住一个常识：不行在一个空格填入超过两个词。
空格是名词的标志是：空格前有介词的消失。
空格是形容词的标志是：空格后出名词的消失。
空格是动词的标志是：空格后有介词的消失。
5 需要填入数词的地方一般其前面会有介词或动词消失而后面会出名词消失;这在第一步重复关键词时就有预知了。
6 所写单词过长时用速记方式记录或用中文标明其意，往答题纸上转抄时再写出完整的。
7 往答题纸上转抄时切记每个单词的每个字母都需大写;合同、订单的参考号中的字母也不例外。
其次项：多项匹配应试技巧：1 把握每一选项的中文意思，并用最简洁的文字写出。
2 在该项的十个对话或独白中，通常是不会给出直接答案的;相反，一般绕个弯子把答案隐蔽起来。
这也是该题对于考生来说困难的一个缘由。
假如听到内容与某选项完全全都，大胆排解该选项。
3 当选项中有赞扬和投诉的，考生须特殊留意说话者的语气，甜蜜愉悦的一般为赞扬，而含有怒气的则是投诉。
4 该题困难的另一个缘由，认为是主要缘由—考生不熟识外资企业管理层各个部门的实际沟通，尤其是口头的沟通。
有一个补救的方法是把往年真题该部分的录音文稿拿到，读上十份左右，不熟识的用语划下来，然后依据功能和职位两个类别予以分类。

Well, let's start with the present Trident manufactures photocopiers, which they sell in bulk to retailers and large Now, why do you think they're having trouble selling them?It's strange, because there's a big demand for photocopiers, andTrident's are competitively But the specifications just don't compare with what's expected these It's a shame, because they've got plenty of technical expertise in their engineering support Now, the company is owned by a large How do they see Trident? Well, the group is largely in the mining sector, and Trident doesn't fit in with that, so you'd expect the parent company to want to sell Or alternatively to be active, say by helping it to expand its But really it seems quite content to take a hands-off approach, as long as Trident is generating some There'sclearly poor morale among the Why do you think that is? Well, weak line managers are often a reason, but I can't find any evidence for that And even the recent changes, like the cut in bonuses, have been acceptedfairly I think it reflects people's uncertainty about their long-term prospects with the What would you say about the sales staff? There's alot about them in the case They're doing the best they can in theThere's a system for helping them to develop their selling skills, and that's The way customers are allocated to each salesperson could be improved maybe, to reduce unnecessary But they're getting contradictory signals about what they're supposed to be doing: just responding to enquiries, or going out looking for new And what about the service engineers: what's the main weakness in that department?

I'm sure you'll agree they're not as good as they could Why do you think that is? Well, I was a bit surprised, because, in fact, middle managers hold regular meetings with their But that's because they're given information by the top management about policy issues and plans, for instance, which they have to pass But I have to say that some of them don't seem to think their staff can have anything to say that's worth And, of course, this creates ill Now, ifyou think about the Chief Executive's problems for a moment, what do you think he needs to tackle first? There are so many problems! Something needs to be done about the workforce, because some departments employ staff without the necessary In the long term, of course, they need to develop the photocopiers But the priority must be to reverse the fall in revenue, even if it means cutting prices, in order to increase the sales Unless they do that, they'll go out of business very And what abouttheir advertising?
