剑桥BEC中级考试之经验分享篇
剑桥BEC中级考试之经验分享篇
得咋说，反正要理解能力和对文章通篇思
路的把握。
阅读是考试的第一部分。对于阅读，我只能说，非常需要练习、坚持同技巧！
既然试题是改编从报纸杂志上摘录下来的文章，那我们在备考阶段要做的就是：每天
阅读一个外文报道。媒体推介：The Economist （《经济学家》）、Newsweek《新闻周刊》
、NewYorkTimes《纽约时代》、The Times《泰晤士报》、Management Today、
People Management。除了《经济学家》是时评外，其他都是新闻。后面木有中文名字的，
是我在真题集后面的acknowledge看到试题出处。
个人偏好于《经济学家》，因为：1.时评难度较高；2.语言风趣幽默、有感情色彩；
3.有意思的句子很多；
4.观点鲜明、独到。但是如果水平不高的话，建议先看《纽约时代
》的新闻，较简单，易理解。
秘诀：看的时候，第一遍限时速读；第二遍细读，把生词、短语记下，地道的句子也
抄了吧；最后是坚持。
为何一直推崇这样的方法呢，是因为对比四六级各部分的成绩，我发现就是六级阅读
比四级阅读高了20分，是这个方法带出来的结果~当然也还需要些技巧的，但是读多了，
理解能力和速度肯定会提高，不信你试试。
应试技巧：
1.审题，关键词划横线。BEC是一个问题对应一段，非常分明。
2.速读完文章，心里大概有个mainidea。又不是特别重要的生词直接忽略。
3.根据文章意思，对选项做排除选择。
4.切忌添加任何个人想法，不能直接选就排除法。
5.特别注意转折词，如BUT\HOWEVER\UNFORTUNATELY\ALTHOUGH等，因为中心意思就在
这里
6.注意因果关系：THEREFORE\SO\BECAUSE\INCASE\SINCE等
7.段落的MainIdea在第一句或最后一句。
B.写作
写作分为两部分，第一部分10分钟，写办公室Memo、Email；第二部分15分钟，写
Report、Proposal。我是考前一个晚上才弄明白第二部分该怎么去写的。
考前需要研究答案。练习真题，然后看参考答案的文章，对比自己的和两个参考的区
别（因为参考会给两个，一个高分一个低分版本，自己衡量自己的值多少吧）。研究什么
呢？写作语气、句型、结构、语言组织、用词。这些都是根据评分标准来研究的。
第一部分的memo和email需要根据对象、事件来确定语气和句型。例如，某人迟到，
你要警告他。句型【A：I‘ve noticed that you have been late for work recently.】【B：
Someone told me that you have been```】你会选哪个？我会用A。第二个听起来就是说：有人
给我打小报告说你经常迟到喔~。A的话会更正式。之前我也会犯一个错误，就是什么都用
【I am glad to inform you that```】，后来才发现不是全部事情都是glad的~
结构的话对于两部分写作都很重要。一定要规范，写够字数。
重点讲讲那种要分析两个表格的数据，又要结合笔记写report和proposal的第二部分
。其实，有笔记（note）的就是要写的部分！不要看到那么多数据就慌，圈圈笔记里面的
一般会有【explain、say why、recommend】的字眼，理清楚两个表格的关系，就好写了。
（可以参考第二辑TEST1、3第二部分）
C.听力
听力分为3部分，第一部分记笔记，写单词的，全部字母大写；第二部分匹配，根据
录音选择与录音意思相符的字母，共10个题；第三部分听长篇文章，选择最佳答案。每个
录音都是有一个话题的，而且第三部分录音虽然长，但是每个问题的答案是顺着来的，所
以思路还是很清晰的，只是精神需要集中。
秘诀：听第一遍理解，把听到的关键信息速记，例如写单词前3个字母等，把握中心
思想。第二遍听录音对照自己的答案是否与录音意思相符。一般不怎么会简单地写年份、
数量等，思路是很清楚，但是需要听者很大的理解能力和把握中心意思的能力。所以第一
遍听懂了很重要，就算落下没听清楚不要紧，别急，还有第二遍。
感觉题目读的时候有意慢，所以在开始读题就审题，连选项也不放过。平时多听，把
录音稿子都弄明白了，听多了就有感觉啦。一般是做题以后每天听，考前那个晚上听一下
。早上起来不需要听，因为听力第三部分的话，状态是完全有的啦。
D.口语
口语是三部分：interview→mini-presentation→discussion。限时。具体怎样的我
就不说了，我只说一下考试流程。
一进去考官有两个，一个记分，一个提问。记分的坐在较后。除了第二部分有机会做
笔记，其他两部分不能动笔。在第一部分，考官会说，“A，please answer my question.”
问完A，接着问B。如果时间允许，会再接着问AB各一个问题。顺序是，A-B-B-A（即第一
轮先回答的第二轮后回答）。全部问题都是同一个话题的。
第二部分会各分一个试题册，上面有3个选择，要求思路清晰，有开始有结尾有论点
。A讲完后，B根据A所讲的内容提问。第三部分是两个一起的讨论环节，两人在5分钟内讨
论完后，考官问问题，形式同第一部分。
考BEC之前，最好找好搭档。木有的话就倒
现场找。通常不认为搭档会影响自己的表
现，因为前两部分都是自己讲，如果第三部分搭档讲得不好，考官也能分辨出来；若讨论
环节旗鼓相当，考官会根据follow-up question 衡量两人表现。所以淡定！
口语心得最多！我们把书本看了85%。后期因为时间不够所以挑了看起来较重要的话
题练习。口语的话，也不是考你知道多少商务知识，而是考你的应变能力和口语技巧，包
括语音、语调、与别人的交流、听力（要根据对方的presentation提问）。我们主张，看
到题目，自由应用所学的知识自圆其说。这种方法，在前期是很痛苦的，特别是对于基础
较差的同学，像我搭档，语音有点差，语法老错结构老乱。但是如果前期准备得好，到了
考试的时候，你就根本不会担心出的题目是不是你练习过的，因为你已经把那些观点套路
都运用得滚瓜烂熟了。刚开始考试我也很紧张，怕被考官喊停，超时，但是我们一直木有
被喊停，而且看到第三部分的时候，只用了10秒钟看题就对了眼神，跟考官说
【Can I start now？】，她有点吃惊。然后我在follow-up question那部分第二个问题回答
了【NO】，她有吃惊了一次。然后我就觉得我完全赢了。
刚开始练习，我看着题目能说出很多与书上截然不同的好观点，听得她们俩忙在那做笔记
。因为：
1.我把BEC学生用书的和每个话题的背景
介绍的内容加以组织就变成自己的东西了。
2.坚持自己思考+书本观点相结合。（考虑到考官听来听去都是那些回答，偶尔听到
不用的回答，例如NO，TA们会有印象分的）
3.做笔记。把Mainpoint、句型记下，方便复习。也可以买个小本子，可随身带的那
种，把问题+Mainpoint记下，偶尔拿出来自己练习，这个方法意在熟悉话题。
4.后期的复习方法：模拟考场，一人当考官一人当学生，限时，随抽书本的话题。这
个方法有利于发现不牢固的知识点和熟悉考试流程。
5.这样锻炼，有很多好处：不用背书、能把书本知识运用自如、应变能力提高，真正
地提高了口语能力。
注意事项：
1.准考证是一张A4纸大的东西，到考场才发的。只需带身份证、文具、纸巾、眼镜、
水、巧克力（或其他携带便利饱肚子的零食）。
2.考试流程：笔试早上，口语下午或第二天下午。笔试每个环节时间到就收卷，有5
分钟上厕所时间。
3.笔试部分答题注意：听力、阅读填涂用铅笔，写作用黑色钢笔或黑色水笔。听力的
单词全部字母大写，两个单词之间隔一个空格。
4.老师会在发答题卡后引导考生填写答题卡的考生信息。考场号、学生姓名（中文）
、准考证号。注意老师的指示，因为毕竟跟四六级或者其他国内英语考试的答题卡填写不
一样的规范。
5.最好做完一个部分就把那部分的答案填到答题卡里，不然阅读部分到最好不够时间
填就亏大了。
6.口语考试要排队的话，就带书过去练习，但别太紧张。我在长时间的等待中，不仅
斗志被磨灭鸟，连紧张感也了个去了~有空就练习自己木有把握的话题，消磨时间也好~
7.注意口语的时候要有礼貌，例如进去问【May I come in？】；与考官和搭档有眼神交
流。
结论：
今天的考试其实我还是挺满意的。对得起在HJ上课的钱和报名费~
1.基础很重要。
2.坚持更重要。
3.淡定也重要。
3.努力付出总是会有回报的。

商务英语考试写作试题 Describing graphs Ex 4: Sample answer: (132words) The share price of IBM and AOL showed a upward trend from June until the end of 1998.However, while AOL shares then continued to rise steadily over the next three months, the price of IBM shares fell slightly. By March 1999 both shares were worth about $100. AOL shares then shot up, almost doubling in value within four weeks. They reached a high of $180 in mid-April before collapsing to just over $100 per share at the beginning of May. There was a slight recovery during that month however, despite this by June 1999 the price of AOL shares was once again about $100. In contrast, despite minor fluctuations, IBM shares made a steady recovery over the three month period, finishing at just over $100, almost equal to AOL.

剑桥商务英语中级考试试题及答案解析(四)
模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题！ 剑桥商务英语中级考试试题及答案解析(四) 一、中READING （PART ONE ）（共7小题,共7.0分）· Read these sentences . · Which type does each sentence (1--7) describe? · For each sentence mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet. 第1题 A Many companies in the U. S. begin to realise that investors demand financial reporting to be truly presented: creative accounting is no longer acceptable. In response to the criticism about how it booked the gain on the sale of one of its businesses. IBM announced on Feb. 19th that it would expand the informaton it provides investors on such things as its intellectual-property income and the impact on earnings of the company's overfunded pension plan. And a day later, General Electric Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey R. Immelt also pay heed to investors' calls for better disclosure by promising to provide more detail on how the company's individual units —including its finance departrment. GE Capital —churn out their earnings. B Expect this lifting of the veil to spread rapidly throughout corporate America, In the wake of Enron's collapse and questionable accounting at telecommunications companies such as Global Crossing Ltd., investors are demanding better. more frequent, and more expansive information about companies' financial health. This rising pressure will force executives in boardrooms across the country to wrestle with exactly how much new information to reveal, much less the question of how to flag changes for investors without causing their stocks to tank. "GE and IBM are bellwethers," says Patrick S. McGurn, vice-president at proxy advisory service Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. "You will see a huge wave of imitation." C Of course, that's good for shareholders —and for the long-term health of the market, But the tsunami of new disclosures, unfortunately, isn't necessarily what the recovering economy needs right now. The trick will be to strike the right balance. Companies that reveal too little, too late will get punished in the market. But dumping too much on shareholders may only muddy the picture further. "If you give too much information, people can get overwhelmed by the minutia, and the important stuff gets buried." says Charles M. Elson, director of the Centre for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. D In fact, IBM and G E join a growing list of companies that have already been compelled to improve their disclosure, At Tyco International Ltd., which has been buffeted by concerns about its complex accounting and financial health, senior execs have begun holding weekly phone conferences with analysts and investors to address questions about its accounting and operations. Franchising giant Cendant Corp. has put detailed information on its Website about its off-balance-sheet entities, while hotel operator Marriott International Inc. recently provided details on write-offs it has taken for loan guarantees as well as some hotel-development projects.
最新BEC中级第二辑阅读真题及答案详解
1 the contact between coach and employee not solving all difficulties at work 2 the discussion of how certain situations could be better handled if they occur again 3 a coach encouraging an employee to apply what has been taught to routine work situations 4 coaching providing new interest to individuals who are unhappy in their current positions 5 coaching providing a supportive environment to discuss performance 6 employees being asked to analyse themselves and practise greater self-awareness 7 coaching enabling a company to respond rapidly to a lack of expertise in a certain area Coaching A Coaching involves two or more people sitting down together to talk through issues that have come up recently at work, and analysing how they were managed and how they might be dealt with more effectively on subsequent occasions. Coaching thus transfers skills and information from one person to another in an on-the-job situation so that the work experience of the coach is used to advise and guide the individual being coached. It also allows successes and failures to be evaluated in a non-threatening atmosphere. B Coaching means influencing the learner's personal development, for example his or her confidence and ambition. It can take place any time during an individual's career. Coaching is intended to assist individuals to function more effectively, and it is a powerful learning model. It begins where skills-based training ends, and helps individuals to use formally learnt knowledge in day-to-day work and management situations. Individuals being coached are in a demanding situation with their coach, which requires them to consider their own behaviour and question their reasons for doing things. C The coach professionally assists the career development of another individual, outside the normal manager/subordinate relationship. In theory, the coaching relationship should provide answers to every problem, but in practice it falls short of this. However, it can provide a space for discussion and feedback on topics such as people management and skills, behaviour patterns, confidence-building and time management. Through coaching, an organisation can meet skills shortages, discuss targets and indicate how employees should deal with challenging situations, all at short notice. D Effective coaches are usually those who get satisfaction from the success of others and who give time to the coaching role. Giving people coaching responsibilities can support their development, either by encouraging management potential through small-scale one-to-one assignments, or by providing added job satisfaction to managers who feel they are stuck in their present jobs. A coach is also a confidential adviser, accustomed to developing positive and effective approaches to complex management, organisational and change problems. 这篇文章讲的是培训（coaching）的作用。培训对一个公司的发展和员工的成长都是至 关重要的。文章的内容比较泛，但是题目的答案比较明显。 第一题，教练和员工之间的接触不能解决工作中的所有困难。答案是C段的这么一句： In theory, the coaching relationship should provide answers to every problem, but in practice it falls short of this.理论上，培训可以提供所有问题的答案。但是实践中达不到这样。Fall short of是关键词。
