而2007年6月的六级听力长对话,则考到了在trade fair(展销会)现场,参展商销售人员和客户见的对话,内容涉及了解客户行业背景、报价、产品性能介绍,具体请看以下举例:
2007/6 CET6 Long Conversation 2
W: What’s your line of business(您是从事什么行业的), Mr. Johnson?
M: We are a training consultancy.
……
W: What might suit you is the MR5000. That’s over there. It’s IBM compatible(与……兼容的).
M: What about the price?
W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware.(买硬件免费附送软件)
M: Well, I’ll think about it. Thank you.
W: Here’s my card(这是我的名片). Please feel free to contact me.(欢迎随时联系我)
通过以上举例可知,一些职场常见的英语对话已大举“渗透”到四六级听力新题型——长对话的命题中。因此可说学习过BEC内容的在校生,参加新型的四六级考试也更具优势。
