BEC中级听力分三个部分,分别是填空、判断和单项选择。从测试学角度看,命题者为增加题目难度,突出某种语言应用能力,在题目设计上采用一种“原词陷阱”的策略。洞悉了这一特点,可以避开很多看似正确的“陷阱”。下面以第二部分的题目作为范例。
先看题目:
For each recording, decide what the speaker’s purpose is.
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.
听力文本:
Eighteen
Man: Hello. This is Guy Cooper from Centron Electronics here. I believe you rang for some advice about your alarm system, which isn’t functioning properly. The message I got said you weren’t sure if you needed someone to come and sort it out, or if we could advise you over the phone. Well perhaps you’d like to get back to me as soon as it’s convenient and tell me exactly what the problem is, and I’ll see what I can do.
Nineteen
Woman: Well, as you say, Redlon has been supplying us for years but, quite honestly, two-thirds of the complaints we receive about our products are actually due to faults in components we’ve had from Redlon. So I talked to the Production Manager and he agreed that I should look at some alternatives. Future World’s range is fine for us, and one of their customers who I spoke to recommended them highly, so that’s why we’ve changed to using them.
