1、 内部公开BULATS(博思)，全称Business LanguageTestingService,即职业外语水平测试，测试实际工作环境下的语言运用能力，能够快速，经济而可靠地对职员、实习雇员、应聘者和外语学习者的听、说、读、写四种语言能力进行考核。其测试结果与欧洲语言测试协会(ALTE)的五个等级相链接，得到包括意大利、法国等100多个非英语国家和地区的公司、政府机构的广泛认可，成为公司领导者、人力资源部和培训发展部测评员工语言能力的工具综合化测试的考试题型综合化测试是全面考核日常工作中所需语言能力的一种迅速可靠的测试，以纸笔形式进行。测试时间为110分钟，共分两个部分：听力部分、阅读和语言
2、知识部分。综合化测试考核考生对口语及书面语言的理解能力，以及考生的语言知识。题目是针对与工作相关的活动及技能来设计的。例如：记录电话留言理解通告或简短的摘要理解较长的文章更改文章中的错误考试形式及问题类型见下表：BULATS备考指南博思考查学生真实情景下使用外语的能力。因此，备考博思最好的办法就是在真实情景下练习使用英语。听力方面，如果准备不充分，考生可能会感觉听力部分的压力和强度较大。因此听力应该从平时的语言学习中就多加强练习。博思考试中出现的听力类型有：面谈、录音信息、 电话对话、采访、讨论、演讲、电话留言、口头指示、解释等。阅读方面，博思考试要求在规定时间内阅读较长的文章，因此，必须能够
3、在限定时间内通读全文，掌握大意，找到有用信息回答问题。博思考试中出现的阅读类型有：信件、备忘录、笔记、记录、通知、广告、宣传手册、产品目录、产品描述、会议记录、办公日记、公司报告（内部和外部）、指示、指南、报纸、杂志上的文章、表格、柱状图、曲线图、饼图等。如何攻破博思听力听力在博思考试中占据相当大部分的比重；而且，由于很少处于英语的语言环境，所以我们平时接触到听力的机会较少，因此，听力既是博思考试的重点又是难点，也是我们备考的重中之重。那么，我们应该如何攻克博思听力呢？首先，我们来看看博思听力的主要题型：一、独白或者对话等较为短小的听力材料（通常是博思考试的1-10题），这部分包括独白和对话，
4、共读两遍；一般是三选一，选项包括图表和文字。二、听写填空（通常是博思考试的11-22题），这部分可以说是听力的难点，语速较快而且只读一遍，其中包括姓名的拼写和数字的听写等常规项目。听的时候要集中精力，快速记录。三、关于某个主题的独白与选项匹配（通常是博思考试的23-32题），这部分一般是几则比较短小的、关于某个主题的独白，根据听到的内容进行选择，一般选项从A-I，各选项之间互斥。四、长文章的理解（通常是博思考试的33-50题），这部分跟通常四、六级考试汇总遇到的听力形式相似，但内容大相径庭，主要围绕职场英语。那么我们应该如何攻克博思听力的各种题型呢？第一类题目较为简单，而且会读两遍，所以相对比
5、较容易得分，这部分应避免失分，要听懂大部分内容，理解其大意后再做出选择。Example1: (Version:EN000)Which graph is the speaker referring to?答案：B解析：F: As you can see from this chart, sales for last year were generally disappointingcompared to previous years. In the second quarter sales rose dramatically before falling to600,000. Fortunate
6、ly, the last quarter showed some improvement and this has carried oninto this year.对于这到题，只要抓住划线部分的句子就可以找出正确答案。第二类题目，语速较快且只读一遍，考生务必要先浏览题目以掌握听力材料的大致内容，听的时候集中注意力并做好笔记，另外，要注意单词拼写、大小写等。Example3: (Version:EN000)答案： 11 .(Mr.) Hawkwind 12 .809209 13 (The) Park / ，(Center Centre 14 .Software NewsF: Hi, Inter
7、tech Publications, Gina speaking.

Well deliver within 4 days.M: Great. And many thanks.11题和12题包括了英语听力中的常规项目：姓名拼写和数字的听写，这里只读一遍，一定要注意！13题中的Park Center
10、是地名，因此首字母要大写。14题中的Software News是出版刊物的名字也要注意首字母大写。.第三类题目匹配题，由于所给选项的数目大于实际题目的数目（就是说，有些选项是用不到的，属于干扰因素），而且各个选项是互斥的，大大增加了选择的难度，另外，要注意其中迷惑性的词汇，请看下面两个例子。Example4: (Version:EN000)You will hear five people talking about the difficulties they faced when they gave up fulltime jobs to become freelance consultan
