雅思考試對比托福、托業(yè)、BEC，含金量怎么樣?
什么是雅思、托福、托業(yè)、BEC?
托業(yè)：TOEIC(Test of English for International Communication)國際交流英語考試，由美國教育考試服務中心設計。
每年大約會有500多萬人參加的考試，10000多家國際化的公司或機構承認并使用TOEIC考試成績，整體的考試內(nèi)容偏向于商業(yè)環(huán)境，主要考察申請人在國際商業(yè)、貿(mào)易環(huán)境中使用英語的熟練程度，因此也被稱為“商業(yè)托?！?。
托福：TOEFL(The Test of English as a Foreign Language)檢定非英語為母語者的英語能力考試，由ETS舉辦的英語能力考試。
至今為止，美國和加拿大共有2300多所院校規(guī)定，凡是外國學生申請到該校入學學習的，必須提供T0EFL，GRE，GMAT或TSE的某一項或兩項標準化考試證明。
近幾年，國內(nèi)的聯(lián)合國駐華機構和一些外企在選擇錄用時，也會參考托福成績。
雅思：IELTS(International English Language Testing System)國際英語測試系統(tǒng)，由劍橋大學考試委員會外語考試部、英國文化協(xié)會及IDP教育集團共同管理。
雅思考試是為打算到使用英語的國家學習、工作或定居的人們設置的英語水平考試。分學術類和培訓類兩種，分別針對申請留學的學生和計劃在英語語言國家參加工作或移民的人士。
BEC：(Business English Certificate)商務英語考試，指的是劍橋商務英語資格考試,是劍橋系列考試中專為學習者提供的國際商務英語資格證書考試。
考察申請人在真實工作環(huán)境中英語的交流能力，被歐洲乃至全球眾多教育機構、企業(yè)認可，將其作為入學考試或招聘錄用的英語語言水平要求，對于求職者有更大的作用。
雅思、托福、托業(yè)、BEC有什么區(qū)別?
1.研發(fā)機構：
雅思和BEC都是由劍橋大學考試中心研發(fā);
托福和托業(yè)都是由美國教育考試服務中心研發(fā)。
2.適用人群：
雅思(A類)和托福更加強調(diào)學術性，用途也是以學生申請學校為主。而BEC和托業(yè)是商務英語，面向的是一些職場工作的人群，為了評價工作中英語應用能力的英語考試。
3.適用范圍：
不同的國家、學校、機構對各項成績的接受程度不太一樣，例如美國大部分的大學是承認雅思成績的，但部分學校不能以此來申請教學金;而英國部分學校已經(jīng)不承認托福成績了。
但絕大多數(shù)大學都不承認BEC和托業(yè)成績，來體現(xiàn)非英語留學生的英語水平。
4.考試形式：
雅思聽力、寫作和閱讀目前多數(shù)是傳統(tǒng)的紙筆考試，口語是考官面試。托福是包含口語在內(nèi)的所有考試項目，均為機考。
而托業(yè)和BEC則是普通的英語筆試的形式，但BEC相比托業(yè)考試，多了一項口語考試的環(huán)節(jié)，這個口語的考試比較和雅思口語的考試方式類似。
5.用途：
托業(yè)和BEC主要用于求職;托福和雅思主要是申請學校使用，少數(shù)求職單位會要求托福、雅思成績，以一部分外企為主。還有一部分國家定居，也是需要雅思成績的。
雅思、托福、托業(yè)、BEC的含金量
如果你是已經(jīng)決定好不出國留學，安心就業(yè)的這類人，考BEC高級比較合適，初級和中級用處不是很大。
現(xiàn)在春招季，很多同學如果沒有明確的目標進哪家目標公司，那就考BEC。
有些英語專業(yè)的學生，可能畢業(yè)之前專四沒有考過，偏偏英語專業(yè)，四六級成績又不能作數(shù)。在找工作的時候急需一個能證明自己的英語水平的考試，這時候考BEC是最好的選擇。
相比托福、雅思和托業(yè)來說，BEC的是以通不通過的方式發(fā)放證書的，不會有具體的成績高低，這就等于BEC的證書只是一塊進入企業(yè)的敲門磚，不會影響后續(xù)的晉升。
但如果目標企業(yè)是日韓美，這些國家的企業(yè)，考托業(yè)會比較合適。因為這些公司和托業(yè)成績結合的比較密切，像是托業(yè)成績應聘時免英語考試，或者筆試時使用托業(yè)的考卷，某些韓國企業(yè)更是直接與升職掛鉤。
如果你是沒決定好，出不出國的學生，考雅思會比較適合你。
雅思的成績在大部分國家都是認可的，不管是以后去外企就業(yè)還是繼續(xù)出國深造，都是十分妥當?shù)倪x擇。
另一方面，因為是筆試的形式，避免了如托福機考帶來的客觀因素的干擾，像是考試中不能劃重點、打字速度影響答題等等。
內(nèi)容上相比托福，雅思的學術性不會太強，更偏向于校園生活的，有一定的方法可循，比托福會略微簡單一些，畢竟托福那些天文、考古等學科單詞可不是鬧著玩的。
最后，值得關注的是，隨著雅思考試越來越受到國內(nèi)院校和雇主的認可，以檢測英文水平、國內(nèi)入學、求職等，國內(nèi)用途為考試目的考生人數(shù)逐漸增加，2018年比例達到5.3%，名列第二!!，首次超越出國移民及工作的群體占比~
總之一句話：有雅思成績傍身，真的好處多多!如果你想通過相關英語成績?nèi)で蟾玫墓ぷ鳈C會，雅思也許是個不錯的選擇~
雅思閱讀全真練習系列：Rogue theory of smell gets a boost
Rogue theory of smell gets a boost
1.A controversial theory of how we smell, which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics, has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists.
2.Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved.
3.That's still some way from proving that the theory, proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin, is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more seriously.
4."This is a big step forward," says Turin, who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory, "it has been ignored rather than criticized."
5.Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detecting the shape of incoming molecules, which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular 'lock and key' process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body's detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.
6.But Turin argued that smell doesn't seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly, some molecules can smell different — to animals, if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass).
7.Turin's explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins is triggered not by an odour molecule's shape, but by its vibrations, which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.
8.This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turin's mechanism, says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team, is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.
9.Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur — it is used in an experimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. "The question is whether this is possible in the nose," says Stoneham's colleague, Andrew Horsfield.
10.Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turin's idea, while Turin was himself based at UCL, "I didn't believe it". But, he adds, "because it was an interesting idea, I thought I should prove it couldn't work. I did some simple calculations, and only then began to feel Luca could be right." Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly, in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.
11.The UCL team calculated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known, but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.
12.The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is — which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.
13.But Horsfield stresses that that's different from a proof of Turin's idea. "So far things look plausible, but we need proper experimental verification. We're beginning to think about what experiments could be performed."
14.Meanwhile, Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. "At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations," he says. "Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition." At the very least, he is putting his money where his nose is.
