Negotiation:BEC听力考试特点
BEC的听力与国内考试的听力不太一样的一点是,语音构成复杂:英音居多,占据整个听力的70% 上下,其余的25% 为美音,还有5% 的澳音;在商务的背景中出现;有背景音,比如接电话的题目,势必有一个人声音较轻,不容易捕捉;访谈类 的题目比较长,等等,但是我们知道,听力部分,BEC是给放两遍音频的,这应该说会很有帮助,因为BEC的题目设置和国内听力考试的题目设置不同,有细节的,也有被隐藏起来的,但是总体而言细节题居多,只不过是变换了样子出来而已,所以相 对于国内听力考试的题目,只给一次,二次浪费的现象,BEC的听力两遍还是有效果的,比一遍强很多。
我们用听写为例: It is essential to do thorough ________________ before visiting China.
It is viewed as extremely rude if you are ____________ in China.
First of all, everyone exchanges ______________ with one another.
The Chinese feel an obligation to provide _____________ at all times.
这是一段讲述到中国去做生意应该注意些什么文化问题的小段落。 原文中的句子是这么出现的,第一句:it is imperative that you do extensive preparatory work. 飘红的部分我们看到了明显的特征,就是同义词的替换,这在商务英语中的应用非常广泛,词汇的丰富变化在此可见一斑。Imperative 和essential 属于近义词,同时可以跟随虚拟语气,表示基本的,紧急的。
第二句的原句是:the Chinese find it most discourteous if you are late for meeting. 这个discourteous 和卷面上的extremely rude 同义。
第三句的原句是:To begin with, all those present will swap business cards in itself a very important ceremony. Swap 和exchange 同义,互换名片之意。
第四句中,hosts believe it is their duty to offer their visitors hospitality, even though the visitors themselves may much prefer a day off after intense negotiations.这里,obligation 和duty同义,provide 和 offer 同义,
所以我们发现这类题目中的重要特点:正确答案隐藏在同义词的后面,填空的时候注意力要集中在空前,多数情况下空格前面的词是原文的同义词,所以关注空格前,线索在空格前面,反应要快。
填写听写的时候,记得要用大写字母誊写在答题纸上,词组中如果有虚词,可以忽略,拼写不可以出错,每个空填写单词不超过三个。要求填写听到的确切信息,不可以同义替换。 在这一部分的考题中,要求我们同学平时就有比较好的写的基本功,单词拼写要准确无误,所以我们不建议大家平时多用电脑工作,写文章,尽量自己动笔写,提升基本写作能力。
