bec中级解题技巧
小吴是北京地区某高校中文系大四的学生,面对严峻的就业形势,他选择了多考一些证书以便求职这条路。像大学英语四级、六级,国家计算机二级,秘书职业资格等证书他都顺利拿到手了。然而,学习用功、非常自信的他最近却很忐忑不安:“离BEC考试时间很近了,但我准备得还不充分。”
小吴说的BEC考试是剑桥商务英语证书考试(BUSINESS ENGLISH CERTIFICATE),是由教育部考试中心和英国剑桥大学考试委员会合作,于1993年起举办的考试。该系列考试是一项语言水平考试,根据公务或商务工作的实际需要,对考生在一般工作环境下和商务活动中使用英语的能力从听、说、读、写4个方面进行全面考查,对成绩及格者提供由英国剑桥大学考试委员会颁发的标准统一的成绩证书。
今年的考试时间原本定于5月举行,但由于非典的缘故,考试时间延至9月中旬。
BEC怎么考
在考试即将来临之际,考生应当如何准备复习应考?对此,笔者采访了北京新东方学校的BEC考试专家刘军老师。据刘军介绍,BEC考试分两个阶段进行。第一阶段为笔试,包括阅读、写作和听力,第二阶段为口试。考试时间分别为:
BEC初级:阅读、写作90分钟,听力约40分钟(含填写答题卡时间),口试12分钟;BEC中级:阅读60分钟、写作45分钟、听力约40分钟(含填写答题卡时间)、口试14分钟;B EC高级:阅读60分钟、写作70分钟、听力约40分钟(含填写答题卡时间)、口试16分钟。
临考应该做些什么
刘军认为,今年的考试无论是初级、中级还是高级,其题型、所要考查的知识点与历年相比都不会有太大变化,对此广大考生不必担心。马上就要考试了,考生应当保持一种比较平和的心态,相信自己平时的积累。现在再去过多地看教材做习题都不会有太大作用,而是应当在脑海中回想老师上课所讲的内容,力求能够消化一遍,然后好好静下心来对题型进行分析,因为BEC考试的题型跟考研及英语四、六级考试不太相同。
据刘军分析,按照考试大纲要求,考生不仅要能听懂日常生活中的通知、讲话、一般性谈话或讨论等,还应能听懂所熟悉领域的广播电视节目、讲座、演讲和论述等。
要想达到上述要求,最根本的对策就是听力基本功。要在听力方面有所突破,就必须听熟一定量的语音材料。他指出,阅读中有精读和泛读,同样的道理,听力中也分为精听和泛听。目前就听力的训练方法而言,普遍存在似是而非的做法,很多人在学习过程中多以泛听为主,只强调听懂大意。每天戴着随身听,坐车的时候听,打饭、打水的时候听,睡觉以前还听,但结果却是事倍功半。
他认为,练习听力要以精听为主,泛听为辅。听写是练习听力最根本的方法,其要领就是反复听、尽量写,直到实在写不出来时再去核对原文。他说,反复精听一盘语音纯正的磁带时,不难发现:平常不易注意的地方,这时就会注意到。这样,篇章的每一个细节都能在考生的脑海里留下深刻的印象,这对纠正发音和强化口耳互动训练,都极为重要。听写的严格训练可以为口语和听力打下坚实的基础。
解题技巧和策略
他提醒广大考生,在有了一定的基础之后,要想取得好成绩,B EC考试还要有一定的解题技巧和策略:
第一,答案原则上采用录音材料中的文字。因为阅卷时,一般应严格按照所得到的答案进行阅卷。这样直接来源于录音中的答案,会有相当大的优势。但肯定有一部分试题不能完全用录音中的内容去回答,需要用自己的语言,如果强行用文中的语言,反倒不行。这就要求考生灵活应对。
第二,答案力求内容丰富简洁。内容丰富主要体现在对问题应答的主题大意上,而简洁则是对语言掌握程度及考试时间上的要求。
第三,答题时还应当注意词尾的变化。命题者非常重视词尾的变化,一个动词的过去分词形式,如果单词对了,但词尾错了,也不能得分。
第四,听力如果是事实题,考生应重注意6个W,如:what,where等。
阅读理解题如何得高分
阅读理解在考试中占了很大比重,是决定考试成败的一大题型。很多考生在这上面下了很多功夫,但是在最后的复习冲刺中,怎样才能争取在这个题型上拿更多的分呢?刘军老师提出了以下几点建议:
1.抓住句子结构,通过语法知识来进行拆分理解。在阅读理解中,找出主、谓、宾结构,然后把从句和插入语也都表示出来,这样句子的意思就不难理解了。
2.注意从整体上把握全篇。在把每句的意思弄懂的基础上,要高屋建瓴地统领全篇的内容,抓住中心主题,按照要求答题。
有的考生担心自己对专业的商务知识了解不多,害怕在考试中吃亏,刘军老师认为考生不必对此过于担心,现在也不必恶补这方面的知识,考试虽然对专业的商务知识有涉及,但总的来说涉及不多,而且,即使考试时会涉及商务知识,那也只是作为阅读文章的载体出现,考生在这方面不会怎么吃亏的。
对于写作,刘军老师认为更多地要靠平时积累。现阶段来说,考生可以看一些比较好的范文。在考试时,考生也不必过于紧张,心态很重要,不要轻易下笔,不要在试卷上过多地涂改,写作时应力求保持卷面的整洁。
而口语考试则要力戒口怯,考生应当大声、大胆地说出口,在听懂考官问题的基础上可以略事思考,但思考的时间不能过长,要给自己信心,相信自己有这个实力。而且要注意仪表大方得体,应答时尽量做到从容不迫。
最后,刘军老师提醒广大考生注意,考试时,考生一定要注意对考试时间的整体把握,因为历年的考试显示,有很多考生花了太多的时间在做试卷前面的题目,而到了后来,却发现时间不够。而事实上前面的题目是比较容易的,不应该花过多的时间。
