　　商务英语考试听力的常见短语汇总

　　BEC即剑桥商务英语证书考试，是剑桥大学考试委员会(UCLES)设立的。很多人误认为BEC考试针对是那些学与商务有关的专业人员的，其实不然。因为无论你学的专业是什么，都要在某个特定的商务环境中运用，BEC考查的正是这种普遍存在的商务环境中应具备的通识与能力。剑桥大学考试委员会设立BEC考试的目的是在全球范围内建立一个测试商界雇员英语水平的统一标准，使BEC证书被跨国公司和非英语国家的大公司用作商务英语测试标准，以评估在真实商务环境下雇员的英语水平，使人力资源部门能准确评估雇员商务英语的运用技能。

　　因此，与我国的四、六级考试相比较，BEC考试更侧重对英语实际运用能力的考查。换句话说，BEC中的考查内容都是可以马上拿到实际工作中去的，不会出现所谓高分低能现象。
