«商务英语写作»考试题型介绍«商务英语写作»考试所采用的题型包括:单项选择题、填空题、单句翻译题和撰写英文书信等。
现分别举例说明:1.单项选择题这里所说的单项选择题实际上是一般所说的多项选择题,是国际上英语测试中最常见的一种题型。
这种题型要求学生在给定的三或四个选择项中选出一个正确答案。
通过这种题型既可测试学生对英语词汇掌握的广度和深度,也可测试学生对英语语法掌握的广度和深度。
例如:We agree to ccotinue business the terms stated in our Contract N0 46.a.on, on b.as, as c.as, on d.on, as正确答案是d.on, as.[分析]本题的测试点是考查学生对介词多义性的掌握程度,以及对as + v-ed (过去分词)这种结构的运用。
题中on"按照,根据”;as+v-ed中as为连词,意为“如同”,也可释为“按照”。
根据题意,只有d是正确答案。
其余三个选择项都是错的: 选择项a中"on stated"有问题;选择项b中"as the terms”有问题;选择项c中"as the terms”,“on the stated"都有问题。
[译文] “我们按第46号合同规定的条件续签商务协议”。
2. 填空题这部分试题指的是单句填空。
题中不设任何选择项,要求考生根据题意,用自己掌握的词汇进行填空,只要意思成立,无语言错误,符合英语规就行。
这部分试题的测试重点是介词,当然也包括一些常用的动词、副词、形容词和连词等。
因此解答这类试题的关键是根据题意判断题中缺少的是哪一类词。
如果是介词,还得确定与题中哪个词搭配:是一般搭配或是固定搭配,是构成短语动词或是构成成语;如果是动词,还是确定其形式:谓语形式或非谓语形式(不定式、分句或动名词)。
然后,在此基础上,从自己掌握的词汇中选出合适的词填入空白处,完成句子的意思。
特别要注意不能出语言错误。
例如:1. Please inform us ______ the shortest possible time ______ which you can effect delivery.[正确答案] of, in[考点] 短语动词inform sb. of sth。
“通知某人某事”;in which引出定语从句。
[解题关键] 判别inform us后缺少固定搭配介词of;在which引出的定语从句中,which 指代的是time,所以which前面必须得有介词in,即in which,在定语从句中作时间状语。
[译文]“请告可能最短时间的装运期。
”2. The drafts drawn ______________ compliance __________ the terms of the L/C shall be honoured ______ presentation and delivery of documents ______ specified.[正确答案] in, with, on, as[考点] 短语介词in compliance with“按照”;on presentation and delivery of “在提交…时”;as specified“按规定”。
[解题关键] 辨别题中的compliance是短语介词的主导词,前面缺少in,后面缺少with,介词短语in compliance with the terms of the L/C修饰前面的过去分词drawn;presentation and delivery前面缺少介词on,“on + (动)名词”通常表示时间;specified 前面缺少as,as specified为习用语。
[译文]“按信用证条件开出的汇票按规定提交单据如期支付。
”3. We are already represented ______ Messrs Freeman & Brothers Co. Ltd., ______ the sale ______ this commodity ______ your district.[正确答案] by, for, of, in[考点] be represented by“由…代表,由…代理”;for the sale of “(为了)销售”;in your district“在你地区”。
[解题关键] 本题是被动句,介词短语by Messrs Freeman & Brothers Co. Ltd用作“We are already represented”的行为主体;the sale前、后缺介词for, of;介词短语for the sale of this commodity表示目的,修饰represented;in your district修饰the sale。
[译文] “我公司委托Messrs Freeman & Brothers 作代理,在你地区销售该产品。
”4. We would appreciate your sending us a catalogue ______ your Rubber Boots ______ ______ terms ______ payment and the largest discount your could allow us. [正确答案] of, together, with, of[考点] a catalogue of your Rubber Boots;“橡胶长统靴目录”;together with 连词,“和,加之”;terms of“…的条件”[解题关键] 本题的意思是:感寄送产品目录及付款和优惠条件。
根据题意,判断出catalogue后跟介词短语of your Rubber Boots做后置定语;together with是短语介词,后跟terms;terms后跟介词短语of payment and the largest discount…作后置定语。
[译文]“若贵方能寄给我们橡胶长统靴目录及付款和能给的最优惠的折扣条件,我们将不胜感。
”5. Owing ______ the delay ______ the part of the suppliers, we must ask you to extend the date of shipment ______ September 10th. ______ October 10th.[正确答案] to, on, from, to[考点] owing to“由于”;on the part of “…方面的;就…而言”;from…to…“从…到…”[解题关键] Owing to 是短语介词,后跟名词delay,Owing to the delay…表示原因,在句中状语;on the part of也是短语介词,on the part of the suppliers这一介词短语作delay的后置定语;from September 10th. To October 10th. 修饰extend.[译文] “由于供应方的拖延,请贵方将装运日期从9月10日延长到10月10日。
”6. The company you inquired ______ ______ your letter of March 10th. Is considered ______ have an excellent reputation. Several times we have sold goods amounting ______ eight million dollars, but have never experienced a delay ______ payment.[正确答案] about, in, to, to, in[考点] inquire about “查询、询问”,短语动词;in your letter“贵方来信中”;be considered to have “被认为具有”;amount to“合计,总额达”;delay in payment “拖延付款”[解题关键] 本题由两个句子组成。
第一句是被动句The company…is considered…。
其中inquire about是短语动词,you inquired about是省去了which的,修饰company 的定语从句;in your letter修饰inquired about;be considered后的to并不是介词,而是构成动词不定式的小品词。
这里的to have an excellent reputation作句子的主语company的补语。
第二句的结构是…We have sold goods…,but have never experienced a delay…。
其中amount to是短语动词,amounting to eight million dollars是分词短语,作goods的后置定语;in payment介词短语是修饰delay的后置短语。
[译文] “贵方3月10日来函所询问的那家公司认为享有最良好的信誉。
我们与该公司做过几次数额达800万美元的交易,但是从未发生过拖欠货款事宜。
”3. 选择给定的适当的单词填空题这部分试题是短文填空题,每空填一个词,待填的单词集中列在题首。
做这一试题时,切忌见空就填,最好先很快通读一遍整个语篇,熟悉语言环境,然后从给定的单词中仔细选择出正确答案。
例如:选择下列适当的单词填空:1. for, in, offerers, on, with, wordsOfferAn offer is a proposal made by sellers to buyers in order to enter into a contract. In other ______, an offer refers to trading terms put forward by offerers to offerees, on which the ______ are willing to conclude business with the offerees. These terms mainly include name of commodity, brand, specifications, quantity, price, packing, payment, shipment, etc. Thus ______ receiving an inquiry by mail or telegram from abroad, we shall place before overseas customers the dance ______ the existing supply and market situations of the commodity inquired ______. And this is called an offer or a quotation.[正确答案] words, offerers, on, in, with, for[考点] in other words “换言之”;offerers“报盘人”on receiving…“在收到…时”;in accordance with“按照,根据”;inquire for“询问,询价”[解题关键] 从标题就可以知道,整个短文是对报盘下定义,闭幕式进行适当的解释。
