BEC商务英语听力问题BEC听力,希望对你有用1. 第一部分（填空词一个或两个单词，所有字母要大写，而且若两单词，中间要空一格）：⑴一般来说，一篇短话会有七、八个回合，答案的出处一般为第三至五、六个回合。
所以若前两句没听懂，没事，那个一般为引入话题而已，前面的铺垫。
注意听第三至五、六个回合。
⑵要注意在听前作预测，这样会对接下来的短话有个粗略的商务背景环境的感觉，有助于接下来做题。
⑶一般一句话只会填出一个空格。
⑷所填的单词很有可能为说话人重读的单词或词组，而且有时候会放慢点语速，练到最后的听力，就会比较容易听出来，偌达到这种境界，那说明你成功了。
⑸一般，填一个空的单词或词组时，A提出一个观点，接下来被B 否认，出现however，but之类的单词，答案往往就是转折词之后的单词。
前面先提出来的通常为干扰信息，但是也可能有例外，有时候前面之前被否定的部分！！！2．第二部分—选项配对（听力中一致被认为最难的一部分）：⑴第一个小部分通常为内容题，第二个小部分通常为观点题。
看到题目后，不要直接看选项，应该也要看一下题目中的问题：例如发言人在管理的成功之处什么，说话人有什么目的……,这有助于一个粗略的商务环境的背景。
⑵若听到的和题目中，重合越多，首先排除。
若与原文一致的，则绝大部分情况下直接排除。
⑶相当注意转折词和强调句。
答案很有可能是转折词之后的内容。
答案一般集中在后半段，有时候会是最后一句话。
⑷在拿到试卷后，就应该速度、简洁地把每一项的中文意思写出来，这样很助于选择，而且要把每一项的关键词（醒目、耀眼、特殊）的划出来。
因为可能全对着英文选，考场容易一紧张，看英文会有糊了的感觉。
⑸注意说话人的语调、情感，很助于选择，能够看出说话人是积极的还是消极（例如抱怨）的态度。
*因为这个部分是听力中最难的，所以一定要沉得住气。
听第一遍时，可能会有蒙的感觉。
但是听第二遍时，集中注意力，听懂的感觉会远远超于第一遍的感觉。
3．第三部分：⑴先看文章的内容关于什么，千万不要忽视题目，这是整篇文章的核心。

商务英语中级短文听力训练技巧一般说来，应对BEC中级听力特别是短文听力，其备考训练必须抓住竖听和横听两点结合来进行。
所谓竖听，是指一套题目从头听到尾，从第一题听到最后一题。
所谓横听，是指把相同题材和体裁的文章放在一块对照比较着听，从而迅速抓住同类型文章的规律，真正做到以不变应万变。
文章一般用记叙的语言讲述人物的经历，较少有情节的描写或人物对话。
通过这样反复对比听，可以使我们很快掌握人物传记题材文章的模式和考题思路，在短时间内抓住考点，做到举一反三。
在此向考生们提供一套具体的短文听力训练办法，考生可以从BEC中级历年考题中选取10-20篇不同题材和不同体裁的文章，依据以下几个步骤，横竖结合来进行精听训练。
Step 1：第一遍听磁带时认真做题，对所选取的每段文章都认真仔细，注意时间，模拟考场氛围。
做完以后还需注意统计对错个数，并分析选项设置特点，练习快速扫描选项的能力。
Step 2：脱离文字材料再听4-5遍磁带。
此时绝对不允许照着文字材料听，应该反复使用录音机上的重复键，尽最大努力听懂全文内容。
听第5遍或第6遍的时候，可以一边听一边将全文笔录下来，然后对照文字材料，看看笔录有什么问题，分析听不懂的原因，是 ___、词汇还是语法?然后有的放矢地加以解决。
Step 3：在足够熟悉此段落中的内容后，打开文字材料，一边听录音一边看，并在段落中相应考点和问题答案，仔细体会，分析自己 ___被某些干扰项误导。
Step 4：跟着磁带大声朗读，以提高自己的语速。
如果自己的语速能基本跟上听力材料的语速，再做同类型题目，困难就不大了。
另外，练习过程中有一些事项值得我们注意，请大家养成良好的习惯，尽量避免：1.鸵鸟式听法。
很多同学听力过程中没有动手的习惯，听就是听，在做题时才努力回忆与该题有关的信息。
甚至有同学喜欢闭着眼睛听或者把头低下来，伏在桌子上听，并认为这样注意力更集中，但这样往往容易走神，听的效率非常低。
2.多而不精。

请看下面这道BEC中级真题：eg. A. an invoice（发票）B. a price-list（报价单）C. a bank statement（银行结单）D. a receipt（收据）E. a company cheque（公司支票）F. an expenses claim form（报销单）You will hear five short recordings. For each recording, decide which type of document the speaker is talking about.（你将听到五段录音。
请选择每短录音中，发言人在谈论哪一种文件。
）其中，第一段录音原文如下：Well, no wonder the bank’s returned it unpaid. Look, the figures don’t match the account in words. I expect someone was filling it in in too much of a hurry. Let’s see, we’ll better issue another one straight away to pay Mrs. Burton, because it’ll be another three weeks if we wait for the next cycle of payments. Her expenses on that sales trip were pretty high, and itwouldn’t be fair to keep her waiting much longer.根据这样的一篇谈话，到底应该选择以上八种文件中的哪一项呢？当年那场考试中，有的考生并未理解录音整体的意思，只根据在开始部分听到的bank这个词，选择了C，bank statement，理由是这个选项似乎和谈话内容有点联系。
其实，做这样的题目，同学们首先要避免的一个误区就是“听到什么选什么”。
配伍题着重考察理解能力，不可能这样简单明了地给出答案。
如果一个选项里面包含录音中直接提到的词，这往往是一个干扰项，应该排除。
还有一些考生选择了F，expenses claim form，因为录音结尾部分提到Mrs Burton 在有关销售的商务旅行中花费不菲，因此应尽快把钱还给她，这样的内容让人联想到“报销”。
本题的正确答案为E，company cheque。
录音中有两条线索提示我们发言人在讲一种支票：第一，录音开头提到the bank’s returned it unpaid，意为银行拒付（理由是单据上的数字金额和文字表达的金额不符），这是直接针对支票而言的。
像报销单一类的文件，属于仅限于公司内部流通的单据，不可能和公司以外的银行发生业务关系；第二，发言人提到了一个动词：issue，意为签发，这个单词在BEC考试中一般只和cheque连用。
而在本题的八个选项中，只有E与支票有关，因此答案为E。
要把握本题的解题线索，首先对考生的词汇能力提出了要求。
如果在积累词汇的过程中熟悉issue a cheque这样的用法，做题时才会有思路。
其次，选项中的八种商业文件，各有怎样的作用？可能很多同学对此的概念都是非常模糊的，也很难想到报销单和公司支票究竟有什么区别。
所以，配伍题对考生的商务操作能力也提出了要求，而这是很多同学，尤其是在校学生，极为欠缺的，需要在考试前着重强化。
BEC中级听力训练之听力配伍(2)Directions:You will hear another five recordings.For each recording, decide what reason each person gives.Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording.Do not use any letter more than once.After you have listened once, replay the recordings.【答案】18.G 19.E 20.C 21.B 22.H【听力原文及解析】18．Man: We were having problems with the company we normally use so we looked at a number of other companies and decided to give this one a try. They’re just new in the business and we were impressed as they promised they would deliver the goods we wanted within 2 days and they did. We had to pay more than we would have liked but th e results were worth it. Since then, I’ve told a lot of otherpeople about them.解析：关键句：they promised they would deliver the goods we wanted within 2 days and they did. 可见，本段强调的重点是两天的承诺，速度快，于是选择G.19.Woman: Apparently they’re an established company in Scotland with an excellent reputation, but I didn’t know that at the time. I found them through the Internet. I was just browsing through the list of suppliers one day and I noticed their name. I looked them up and found that they had this fantastic discount available that particular month. We ordered various things and the quality was so good we’ve continued using them.解析：关键句：they had this fantastic discount available that particular month. 强调的重点是非常可观的折扣.虽然大家会在原文中听到excellent reputation，但是要注意的是but I didn’t know that at the time.这句话，这位女生那个时候并不知道这家公司，于是大家不要刚刚听到一个选项中出现的词就匆忙作出选择。
根据全文，于是应该选择E.20.Man: We like to try out di fferent suppliers to make sure we’re always getting the best deal. This particular company was running a big publicity campaign. I’d seen the ads on TV and they really put me off. I just couldn’t see the appeal. But then someone I met at a training day told me we should use them. His company had used their service for years with no complains so we followed his advice.解析：关键句：someone I met at a training day told me we should use them.看到了吧，熟人的推荐永远占先机呢。
要注意的是虽然文中出现This particular company was running a big pub licity campaign. I’d seen the ads on TV这句话，可是呢，要注意朗读者之后说出they really put me off. 这些宣传让他很失望，因此千万不要选A，于是选择C.appeal to us意思是吸引我们。
21.Woman: We’ve looked around the market to find the cheapest deal possible but to be honest there wasn’t much to choose, in te rms of cost, between any of thelocal suppliers. However, we had a visit from a sales representative from one company and we asked him to make up some complimentary printed letterheads for us. They were exactly what we wanted so that was the deciding factor. I think that personal touch gives a company far better results than advertising ever can.解析：关键句：we asked him to make up some complimentary printed letterheads for us. They were exactly what we wanted so that was the deciding factor.这句话的意思是：我们要求这位供应商代表为他们免费印一些信纸。
