英语四级听力题型分析及解题技巧
一、短对话对于绝大多数英语学习者来说，从刚接触英语听力考试开始就有短对话这种最常见、最固定的题型。
短对话共有8个题目，占卷面总分的8%。
该部分一般是日常生活中的对话，即衣、食、住、行、工作、学习、生活等话题。
短对话具有如下特点：对话是一男一女的形式，每人说一句，然后提问，卷面只有选项，没有问题;美式英语发音和英式英语发音的混合对话。
短对话按题型分类主要有地点题、人物关系或身份职业题、数字计算题、请求和建议题、判断推理题、因果关系题、词汇和习惯用语理解题、观点态度题等。
各种题型的答题技巧在第二节中会作详细的讲解。
在做这部分题目的时候，除了要有扎实的听力基本功之外，还要掌握一定的方法。
1 熟悉常考场景及常用词汇大学英语四级听力短对话的场景每年都是比较固定的，在相同的场景中会使用到相同或相近的词汇，因此如果掌握了这些场景中的常用词汇，这对于提高听力理解能力起着非常重要的作用。
四级对话中常涉及的场景包括：诊所或医院(clinic or hospital)、餐馆(restaurant)、学校或校园(school or campus)、书店(bookstore)、火车站(railway station)、机场(airport)、图书馆(library)、邮局(post office)、银行(bank)、旅馆(hotel)等。
2 .预览选项，预测谈话内容，抓住重点最重要的是好好把握播音之前的时间，我们应该利用好这段时间来阅读选项。
阅读选项的过程中要注意以下两个方面的问题。
首先，根据选项预测对话内容和提问内容。
通过四个选项的对比和对关键词的研究，我们就会预测出对话的内容和将要提问到的问题，在听的过程中就会抓住重点，解答试题就会事半功倍。
【典型例题】(2006年6月)12. A) The woman does her own housework.B) The woman needs a housekeeper.C) The woman’s house is in a mess.D) The woman works as a housekeeper.显而易见，此题是有关housework的问题，因为四个选项中分别出现了does housework, needs housekeeper, house mess, work as housekeeper;由此推断此题是关于做家务方面的一个谈话，在听这则对话时，就可以轻而易举地对号入座了。
英语四级听力短文应试技巧
c) 针对内在含义提问/推断题 What can you infer / not infer from the passage﹖ What does the passage mainly suggest﹖
2、抢读选项，预测文章内容&问题。 3、听清主题句，把握文章的主题思想。第一 句、第二句和最后一句 4、 边听边记，抓住关键信息。 段落理解的重要任务是确定关键句和关键信 息，凡是在选项中重复到的原句都应当做标 记； 文中反复出现同一单词或同一类单词,也值得 注意,包含与这类单词的选项能较好的体现中 心,通常是正确答案
四级辅导—— 听力短文
记叙文：主要包括新闻、故事、人物传记 等 考查的细节题较多 注意关键信息，如时间、地点、人物、原 因，以及人物传记中对人物有重大意义的 事件 考生应快速浏览选项，推测出短文的大致 内容，听录音时把注意力集中在关键信息 上。
说明文：主要包括文化教育类、社会制度类和 科普研究类文章。 由于说明文所涉及的内容相当广泛，考生应注意平 时多阅读、多积累，扩大自己的知识面，尤 其要注意西方文化与本国文化不同的地方，以及科 学技术的新发展、新变化。 文化教育类和社会制度类短文虽然题材广泛，内容 通俗易懂，句型结构较简单。 可通过篇首或篇尾的主题句推测文章内容。 科普研究类文章往往是考生比较陌生的话题，句型 结构较复杂，也会经常出现生僻词。 但是此类文章的题目一般都较简单，细节题较多， 考生可边听边看题目选项，捕获关键信息，放 弃无关紧要的信息和听不明白的词。
文议论 听时注意作者的观点 态度以及支撑其观点所 列举的事实和数据。 主题句一般在段首或段 尾 设置的问题多是主旨大 意题和造成现象问题的 原因类题。

大学英语四级(听力篇章)专项练习试卷11(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级（听力篇章）专项练习试卷11(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.听力原文：How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rate have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior pattern and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival? 16. What affects rats’ behavior?17. What effect may inadequate living space have on rats according to the passage?18. What is the experiment done on rats intended to prove?1．A．Diet.B．Sleep.C．Space.D．Stress.正确答案：C解析：听到“最近研究表明：鼠类行为受空间影响颇大”，可判断C(空间)正确。

四级听力短文理解第11堂短文理解常设题处了解短文理解的常设题处，明确听音时应该重点关注哪些地方。
一、短文首尾处短文的开头与结尾是重要的设题处之一，经常是考查对短文主旨或重要细节的把握。
短文的主题句一般都出现在开头，而且常常是第一道题的答案出处；短文的结尾往往对整篇文章的内容起一个概括和提示的作用，同样不可忽视。
【例1】(10-6-26）［A］District managers.［B］Regular customers.［C］Sales directors.［D］Senior clerks. As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex’s presentation went extremely well……26.Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?27.【提示】选项均为人物身份，但均为复数，故应该不是考查某个人的职业或身份，而更可能是某件事的行为主体或客体。
听音时留意选项中的人物身份，并注意相关信息。
【解析】选［A］。
细节题。
本题的设题处在短文开头。
短文第一句提到，作为新的销售总监(sales directer)，Alex Gordon正在期待着和公司的区域经理们(district managers)的第一次会议，由此可知，Alex Gordon在第一次会议上要对区域经理们讲话，故答案为［A］。
【例2】(07-12-32)［A］People came to see the role of women in the business world.［B］Katharine played a major part in reshaping American’s mind. …Her friends said she would be remembered as a woman who had an important influence on events in the United States and the world. Katharine once wrote, “The world without［C］American media would be quite different without Katharine.［D］Katharine had exerted an important influence on the world. newspapers would not be the same kind of world.” After her death, the employees of The Washington Post wrote: “The world without Katharine will not be the same at all.”32.What does the comment by employees of The Washington Post suggest?33.【提示】选项中的Katharine played a major part, important influence表明，问题应该与Katharine的重要地位有关。
【解析】选［D］。
推断题。
本题的设题处在短文结尾。
短文末句提到，the employees of The Washington Post 曾经写到：“没有Katharine的世界将会与现在完全不同”，由此可推知，Katharine对世界产生了重要的影响(exerted an important influence)，故答案为［D］。
二、短文中因果或目的处短文后的问题所使用的疑问词中，除了what以外，出现最多的就是why，而what提问也有很多是考查原因的，可见，因果关系是短文理解的考查重点之一。
另外，短文中涉及到目的、目标的地方也经常会受到出题人的青睐，这类题目的选项多为动词原形或不定式短语。
因此，当短文中出现because, since, so，lead to, result from/in, contribute to, aim to, in order to, so as to等词或短语时，需重点关注。
【例3】(09-6-34)［A］She wants Amanda to get professional care.［B］She has no experience in raising children.［C］She wants to show off her wealth.［D］She has no time to do it herself.Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda’s mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard, a singing coach and a councilor to look after all her fifteen year old daughter’s needs.34. Why does Amanda’s mother employ other people to look after her needs?【提示】选项［A］、［B］提示，She应该是一位母亲，Amanda很可能是她的女儿，wants to，has no以及professional care, show…wealth提示，问题可能是问Amanda的母亲请专人照看Amanda的原因。
【解析】选［D］。
细节题。
本题的设题处在因果处。
文中提到，好莱坞的父母都会雇人来照顾他们的孩子，因为他们自己没有时间，接着举出Amanda的事例来说明这一点，由此可知，Amanda的母亲是因为自己没有时间照顾Amanda所以才雇人来照顾她，故答案为［D］。
三、短文中并列、转折、条件处表示并列、转折、条件等其他逻辑关系的地方也往往是短文理解的出题重点。
因此，当短文中出现as well as, not only…but also, but, however, if, even if/even though等表示逻辑关系的连接词的时候，需重点关注。
【例4】(06-12-34)［A］They reveal the seriousness of the problem.［B］They indicate how fast the virus spreads.［C］They tell us what kind of medicine to take.［D］They show our body is fighting the virus.You feel terrible because you can’t br eathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells.34.What does the speaker say about the symptoms of the common cold?35.【提示】选项中的reveal, indicate, tell, show表明，问题与They能表明什么有关，seriousness, virus spreads, medicine to take, fighting the virus提示，They可能与某种疾病表现有关。
【解析】选［D］。
细节题。
本题的设题处在转折处。
作者在提到各种感冒症状(can’t breathe well, temperature rises，have a running nose)之后又通过but转折句强调，出现这些症状的时候，你的身体其实正在吃掉、杀死、阻拦病毒，由此可知答案为［D］。
四、短文中含有年代、数量、价格、时间等信息处当听到录音中出现这些数字信息时，除了关注数字本身以外，还要注意记录与数字相联系的重要信息。
【例5】(10-6-28）［A］Some of them were political minded.［B］Fifty percent of them were female.［C］One third of them were senior managers.［D］Most of them were rather conservative.“Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women…”28.What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?29.【提示】选项中的some, fifty percent, one third, most表明，本题应该考查与数量相关的信息，听音时除了留意表示数量的信息以外，还要注意与数字相关联的其他信息。
【解析】选［B］。
细节题。
本题的设题处在数字信息处。
短文中提到，Alex跟一位区域经理说，他觉得自己说错了什么，经理回答说“是的”，并向其解释了原因：“有一半的区域经理都是女性。
…”，由此可知答案为［B］。
五、短文中比较或对比处短文中的形容词、副词的比较级和最高级，以及as…as, compared with, while, whereas等引出的比较或对比结构经常被作为设题点。
【例6】(06-6-16)［A］Private donations.［B］Fees paid by students.［C］Government funding.［D］Grants from corporations.In Britain finance for universities comes from three sources: the first, an d the largest source, is grants from the government, the second source is… and the third one is …16.What is the main financial source for British universities?17.【提示】选项均表示资金来源，［B］项提示，本题可能是关于学校的资金来源。
