听力学习：英语四级听力的常见问题盘点

听力学习：英语四级听力的常见问题盘点英语四级听力弱原因一：能听懂的词汇太少相对应快速提升“战术”：反复、大声跟读听力材料相信很多同学单词背了很多，做阅读理解的时候，也能看懂，就是一到听力却发现自己听不懂。这种情况一是因为很多考生在记单词的时候就是背英文单词，然后背对应的汉语意思，从来不注意发音；二是因为没有注意去积累听力词汇，总结听力过程中自己不会的错误点。针对以上两种情况，建议考生： 1) 任何背过的单词、做过的阅读理解，都要大声朗读过！ 2) 听过的听力材料，杜绝“仅仅听1遍就过了”的浪费，一定要看着原文，至少大声跟读过1次。理由很简单，你的耳朵、你的大脑、你的听觉神经，需要你自己的声音去刺激，去唤醒！英语四级听力弱原因二：听力时间一长，就开始走神相对应快速提升“战术”：泛听保证10分钟以上，精听逐渐增大力度到30分钟以上短对话现在难不倒大家了吧？仍然觉得短对话难的同学，一句话送给你：对自己凶悍一点！你练听力的时间太少了！想要快速提升，看完赶紧练起来！奥运冠军要想夺冠，还须天天练呢！难倒考生的主要是短文听力和复合式听写，已经连续听了很长时间，开始有点疲劳，再加上每篇听力材料长度还不短，精力就开始难以集中。建议考生：

1) 每周至少2-3次泛听练习，听力材料能够是任何自己感兴趣的内容，且第一遍听至少10分钟以上，不按暂停键，不看原文，不纠结是否听懂，就纯“磨耳朵”。 2) 考前的一段时间，每次坐下来练，只练习短文听力和复合式听写！一开始，每天坚持听1篇，大概10分钟左右：一篇短文约3分钟，要听2-3遍：第1遍，做题、看答案；第2遍，边听边琢磨答案来自听力文章哪儿，不要看原文；第3遍，看着听力原文，听1遍。慢慢地，以周为单位，第2-3周增加为20分钟左右集中时间训练！最后，加为每次30分钟以上！英语四级听力弱原因三：来不及预读，非要等到问题出来才能做选择相对应快速提升“战术”：多多练习预读并划关键词，适当掌握、使用听力常识所有听力考试做题的步骤、节奏均为：预读——猜——听——答。预读怎么练？预读只能在边听direction的时候，边实行阅读。所以练习阅读一定要在有干扰的情况下，练习定力！要假装听不见，读得进去！另外，预读的过程中，跟阅读完全一样，要拒绝用笔或手去点，拒绝口头默念，拒绝头去晃着移动，而是用目光扫！扫一眼，划出几个单词，作为该选项的特征。

And I suppose I’ve put it off long enough. Q: What will the woman probably do? 17. M: I did extremely well on the sale of my downtown apartment. Now, I have enough money to buy that piece of land I’ve had my eye on and build a house on it. W: Congratulations！Does that mean you’ll be moving soon? Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
