BEC阅读

考试时间：1小时

题目数：45道题

题型：

1、Matching(搭配题或匹配题)

第一部分共7道题，文章250-350字，是商业环境中的文章(产品广告，招聘广告)。要么是一篇较长文章中选出4个相关段落，或者是相关主题的4篇短文章题目难度中等侧重于辨认具体的信息或具体的细节，极少考主旨

2、Matching(搭配题或匹配题)

考察把握文章结构和段落大意的能力给出1篇正文(商业类报刊文章或报告中选出并稍加改写)，留有可填写1句话的一些空格。加上7个选项，第二部分字数为450-580。考官共留出6个空格，实际上考生只需填写5个空格，因为第一个空格都是作为example给出的，其答案为G。故只需6选5难度较大

3、Multiple Choice(单项选择题)

4选1的单项选择题

6个题目

文章是一篇450-550字的正文(一般的或商务的出版物、公司文献或管理方面的书籍。正文可能经过编辑，但来源是真实的)正确答案不会是简单的词汇搭配，而是对文章中句子的意译或解释题目难度较大

4、选择题形式的完成句子题

15个题目

200-300字的一篇正文，有15个空格，每道题都有4个选项，从中选择1个意义最合适的文章不是特别难，考查考生词汇能力
