根據(jù)托業(yè)考試的最新資訊,現(xiàn)就幾個(gè)大家比較關(guān)心的問題進(jìn)行解答,并整理如下:
    Since the TOEIC test has been updated recently, we've summarized and listed all frequently asked questions and answers as follows:
    Q:什么是托業(yè)考試?
    What is the TOEIC Test?
    A:托業(yè)即TOEIC(Test of English for International Communication),中文譯為國(guó)際交流英語(yǔ)考試,是針對(duì)在國(guó)際工作環(huán)境中使用英語(yǔ)交流的人們而指定的英語(yǔ)能力測(cè)評(píng)。因此托業(yè)考試滲入了更多的商務(wù)元素,既能測(cè)出一個(gè)人的英語(yǔ)水平又能反映其商務(wù)能力。
    The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) Test is a standardized test designed to measure a person's ability to understand English as it is used in international business situation. Thus the test involves more or less business elements, so it can not only test one's English ability but business knowledge as well.
    托業(yè)考試由美國(guó)新澤西州普林斯頓大學(xué)的教育考試服務(wù)處(ETS)設(shè)計(jì)、監(jiān)督和管理。ETS設(shè)計(jì)過很多標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試,例如:TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)托??荚?, GMAT (Graduate Mannagement Aptitude Test)經(jīng)企管理研究生入學(xué)考試和 GRE (Graduate Records Exam)美國(guó)研究生入學(xué)考試。
    The TOEIC Test is designed, produced and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) of Princeton, New Jersey. ETS produces many other standardized tests, such as TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), GMAT (Graduate Mannagement Aptitude Test) and GRE (Graduate Records Exam)。
    托業(yè)考試1979年在日本首次采用,1982年在韓國(guó)首次采用。目前全球超過50個(gè)國(guó)家已采用。近幾年來(lái),近450萬(wàn)人申請(qǐng)托業(yè)考試,每年有4種考試形式被采納。
    The TOEIC Test was first administered in Japan in 1979 and in Korea in 1982. It is now given in over 50 countries all over the globe. In recent years, more than 4.5 million candidates took the test. Every year, four new forms of the test are administered.
    Q:How is the TOEIC TEST administered(托業(yè)考試的報(bào)名形式解讀)
    A:大多數(shù)托業(yè)考試由指定主辦機(jī)構(gòu)(如某個(gè)跨國(guó)公司),也可以是ETS授權(quán)的當(dāng)?shù)貦C(jī)構(gòu)統(tǒng)一安排。通??荚嚨臅r(shí)間,次數(shù),地點(diǎn)由主辦機(jī)構(gòu)負(fù)責(zé)。但是在很多地方,考生可以到一些開放的行政機(jī)構(gòu)考試,像“北京外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)北外諾加國(guó)際教育”這樣的語(yǔ)言學(xué)校或者大學(xué)等。
    Most TOEIC testing is arranged by a sponsoring organization (a multinational corporation. for example) and by a local agent that represents ETS. The dates, times and locations of the testing are generally set by the sponsoring organization. In many places, there are also open administrations. Anyone may register to take the test at an open administration. These are given at special centers, often at language schools or universities such as Bilingo-China International College founded by Beijing Foreign Studies University.
    Q:What format does the TOEIC Test follow(托業(yè)考試的格式和時(shí)間安排)
    A:當(dāng)前托業(yè)考試分為聽力和閱讀兩部分,每個(gè)部分有100道題。其中聽力由4小部分組成,閱讀由3小部分組成。而且所有問題均為選擇題,有四個(gè)選項(xiàng);第二部分問題是3個(gè)答案選項(xiàng)??荚嚂r(shí)間:兩個(gè)小時(shí)。
