BEC中级阅读
第一课时
开场白
评分标准:
A、B、C考试通过(PassingGrade)D、E考试不及格(FailingGrade)
BEC阅读
考试时间:
1小时题目数:
45道题
题型:
1、Matching(搭配题或匹配题)第一部分共7道题,文章250-350字,是商业环境中的文章(产品广告,招聘广告)。
要么是一篇较长文章中选出4个相关段落,或者是相关主题的4篇短文章题目难度中等侧重于辨认具体的信息或具体的细节,极少考主旨
2、Matching(搭配题或匹配题)考察把握文章结构和段落大意的能力给出1篇正文(商业类报刊文章或报告中选出并稍加改写),留有可填写1句话的一些空格。
加上7个选项,第二部分字数为450-580。
考官共留出6个空格,实际上考生只需填写5个空格,因为第一个空格都是作为example给出的,其答案为G。
故只需6选5难度较大
3、MultipleChoice(单项选择题)4选1的单项选择题6个题目文章是一篇450-550字的正文(一般的或商务的出版物、公司文献或管理方面的书籍。
正文可能经过编辑,但来源是真实的)正确答案不会是简单的词汇搭配,而是对文章中句子的意译或解释题目难度较大
4、选择题形式的完成句子题15个题目200-300字的一篇正文,有15个空格,每道题都有4个选项,从中选择1个意义最合适的文章不是特别难,考查考生词汇能力
5、Correction(改错题)考12个题目,全部是找出额外的和不必要的单词考查语法知识
命题题材:
1、商业信函(BusinessLetter)常出现在第四、五部分2、广告(Advertisement)第一部分常考3、关于经济或者商业的一些消息或者公告(PublicInformation)4、产品介绍(ProductDescription)5、商务活动方面的计划、安排、决定或建议(BusinessPlan/Proposals/Recommendations)6、会议记录(RecordofMeeting)7、非正式信息(InformalMessages)

浏览过程中如果发现答题的具体信息,可在具体信息下面划线并标上题号以备最后检查
