BEC閱讀
考試時間：1小時
題目數：45道題
題型：
1、Matching(搭配題或匹配題)
第一部分共7道題，文章250-350字，是商業環境中的文章(產品廣告，招聘廣告)。要麼是一篇較長文章中選出4個相關段落，或者是相關主題的4篇短文章題目難度中等側重於辨認具體的信息或具體的細節，極少考主旨
2、Matching(搭配題或匹配題)
考察把握文章結構和段落大意的能力給出1篇正文(商業類報刊文章或報告中選出並稍加改寫)，留有可填寫1句話的一些空格。加上7個選項，第二部分字數爲450-580。考官共留出6個空格，實際上考生只需填寫5個空格，因爲第一個空格都是作爲example給出的，其答案爲G。故只需6選5難度較大
3、Multiple Choice(單項選擇題)
4選1的單項選擇題
6個題目
文章是一篇450-550字的正文(一般的或商務的出版物、公司文獻或管理方面的書籍。正文可能經過編輯，但來源是真實的)正確答案不會是簡單的詞彙搭配，而是對文章中句子的意譯或解釋題目難度較大
4、選擇題形式的完成句子題
15個題目
200-300字的一篇正文，有15個空格，每道題都有4個選項，從中選擇1個意義最合適的文章不是特別難，考查考生詞彙能力
5、Correction(改錯題)
考12個題目，全部是找出額外的和不必要的單詞考查語法知識

1、商業信函(Business Letter)
常出現在第四、五部分
