TEM-4短文听写方法与策略研究
听写要求的是考生要把 听到 的内容准确无误地以书面的 形 式 表 达 出来 。按 照 Ｔ Ｅ Ｍ－ ４短 文 听 写 的 评 分细 则 ， 听写 总 共 由ｌ ５ 个小节组成， 每节 １ 分。 错误 分为小错误和大错误两类 。 大错误出现一次 ， 扣０ ． ５ 分 。小错误在一节 中出现一次， 留作 总计 ， 累计 ２ —４ 个扣 ０ ． ５分， 累计 ５ —８ 个扣 １ 分： 出现两次， 扣０ ． ５ 分； 出现三次则扣 ０ ， ５分后 留作总计； 出现四次， 那么该 小节的 １ 分全部扣完。
一
（ ２ ） 标点符号与大小写错误 小错误中的大小写、 标 点符号错误通常与断句错误相关， 断句则涉及到意群的划分。短文分为 １ ５ 个意群， 每个意群 的 结束对应 的就是录音 中的停顿 ， 意群有长有短， 既有可能是单 句， 也有可能是分句或短语。若简单地将意群等同于句子， 那 么在标点符号的使用上就会 出现错误 。 其实， 英文中的标点符 号虽多， 也各有其使用规则 ， 但分析历年的 Ｔ Ｅ Ｍ－ ４听写真题， 发现 最常 考 的还 是逗 号与 句 号 ， 其 次 是 问号 ， ２ ０ ０ ０ 年到 ２ ０ １ ０ 年 的考试中， 问号在 ２ ０ ０ ８ 年和 ２ ０ １ ０年的听写中分别出现两次 ， 另外 ， ２ ０ ０ ３年出现一处破折号 ， ２ ０ ０ ９年考查 了两处分号 。 （ ３ ） 时态 、 冠词、 单复数 、 主谓不一致的错误 这些错误都是语法层面的。 训练 中容易忽视的时态问题 ， 也是影响得分的部分 ， 比如， 一个小小的 ｂ ｅ 动词， 如果不加注 意， 出现时态误用 ， 那么也是按大错误来扣分的。 此外 ， 其它的错误虽然都按小错扣分， 但 由于英文中使用 频率高， 所 以从 量 上 看 ， 也是不能忽视的。 （ ４ ） 出 错 原 因分 析 面对上述错误， 究其原因， 主要来 自以下几个方面： ａ ． 单词拼写能力减退。 电脑的过度使用， 在一定程度上导 致 手 写练 习缺 乏 。 ｂ ． 短 时记 忆 能 力 不足 。 ｃ ． 语 法 知识 运 用 能 力 不 佳 。 ｄ ． 背景知识缺乏， 导致对主题 内容不熟。 ３ Ｔ Ｅ Ｍ． ４听 写应 试 策 略 （ １ ） 避 免 上 述 错 误 的对 策 ａ ． 听力能力的提高并不完全依赖于听， 也需要读、 写等综 合技 能的提高。 ｂ ． 记忆 单词 时要加强熟练度和搭配知识的学习。 （ ２ ） 充分利用语法 知识来弥补没听到 的内容。 （ ３ ） Ｊ Ｊ Ｈ 强积极预测和逻辑推理的能力 ， 迅速进入主题。 （ ４ ） 合理 安 排 听 写 步骤 第一步， 结 合 标题 ， 大胆 预测 ； 第二步， 听 第 一遍 ， 主 要 把 握结构和大意；第三步 ， 听第二 、 三遍 ， 灵活运用速记技巧， 根 据 意 群 问 的停 顿 准确 记 录 所 听 到 的 内容 ：第 四步 ， 第 四遍 ， 查 漏补缺， 认真检查语法和拼写。 ４结 语 听写是很多学生特 别关注却容易丢分的项 目，其分数 的 提高不仅仅有赖于大量 的练 习，也需要 找对方法进行有效的 训练 。 在练习中要避免走入用 电脑打字代替手写、 听写题材过 于单一、 听后不核对答案 、 不分析错误等误 区。
TEM 4 Composition 立场选择型
First, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern society, we find that there is a lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking to someone that you care and love on the phone, you are so shy that it’s too hard to express any of your feelings towards him or her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he or she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love. Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine, when you open an old box of letters and read them years latter, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.

TEM 4写作资料PART I ESSAY WRITING1. Sample EssayThe Hazards of Movie-goingAlthough I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. To get to the theater, I have to drive for at least fifteen minutes, or more if traffic is bad. It can take forever to find a parking spot, and then I have to walk across a huge parking lot to the theater. There I encounter long lines, sold-out shows, and ever-increasing prices. And I hate sitting with my feet sticking to the floor because of other people ’s spilled snacks. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks. My choices might include a bucket of popcorn, a box of Milk Duds, a giant soda, or all three. The worst problem is some of the other moviegoers. Kids run up and down the aisle. Teenagers laugh and shout at the screen. People of all ages drop soda cups and popcorn tubs, cough and burp, and talk to one another. All in all, I would rather stay home and wait to see the latest movie hits on cable TV in the comfort of my own living room.Introduction BodyConclusion2. Exercise for Topic Sentence Writinga)Storms are bad.b)The speed limit near my home is 65 miles per hour.c)Studying with others has several benefits, but it also has drawbacks and can be difficultto schedule.d)Many people have different opinions on whether people under 21 should be permitted todrink alcohol, and I agree with some of them.e)I like dogs better than cats.f)The four children in my family have completely different personalities.3. Unity Exercise ICigarette smoke is unhealthy even for people who don’t have the nicotine habit themselves. Secondhand smoke can cause asthmatics and sufferers of sinusitis serious problems. Doctors regularly advise heart patients to avoid confined smoky areas because coronary attacks might be triggered by the lack of clean air. Moreover, having the smell of smoke in one’s hair and clothes is a real nuisance. Even if a person is without any health problems, exhaled smoke doubles the amount of carbon monoxide in the air, a condition that may cause lung problems in the future.4. Unity Exercise II5. Coherence ExerciseFill in the blanks by using various forms of the key word.Thinking: A Neglected ArtWhat have we Americans done to promote the art of 1 ? Certainly we make no room for 2 in our daily lives. Suppose a man were to say to his friends, “I’m not going to PTA tonight (or choir practice or the baseball game) because I need som e time to myself, some time to 3 ”? Such a man would be shunned by his neighbors; his family would be ashamed of him. What if a teenager were to say, “I’m not going to the dance tonight because I need some time to 4 ”? His parents would immediately start looking in the Yellow Pages for a psychiatrist. We are all too much like Julius Caesar: we fear and distrust people who 5 too much. We believe that almost anything is more important than 6 .6. Coherence Exercise IIPlease rewrite the following paragraph by repeating the italicised words with their synonyms.We had a very good evening on Friday. After a meal at a very good Italian restaurant we went to a good film. I liked it because the actors were all so good and the plot was a good one as well. After-words we were in such a good mood that we decided to visit some good friends of ours and tell them all about our evening. They were very good about our calling round so late and I was glad that I was able to do them a good turn by mending their clockwhile we were there.I had a very nice childhood. I went to a very nice school in Scotland where the teacherswere all nice to the children and the lessons were always nice. It was in a very nice part of the country and it seems to me now that the weather was always nice. I thought it was especially nice in winter when it was nice to play in the snow. Our school uniform was very nice and school dinners were always nice. I wonder if it was really as nice as I think now or if I am just becoming old?7. Coherence Exercise IIIPlease revise the following paragraph to make it more coherent.Dear Joan,I’m sitting here at my desk writing to you. A big lawn surrounded by trees is outside my window and a flower bed is in the middle of the lawn. It was full of daffodils and tulips in the spring. You’d love it here. You must come and stay sometime; we’ve got plenty of room.Love Sally8. Sentence Writing ExercisePlease combine each group of short sentences into one lengthy sentence.a)Shakespeare has been the subject of study.The study is of enormous amount.Shakespeare has been studied by many nations.He has been studied through many generations.b)We have been studying him.Our study is in connection with Elizabethan drama.His work was a part of Elizabethan drama.c)Travel necessarily broadens a man’s mind.It is ridiculous to suggest such an idea under certain conditions.Many people just do not notice things.They do not know what there is for them to see.d)They want to find out the reasons for ideas.The ideas are new to them.They are interested enough to do so.9. Please rewrite the following paragraph to make it more coherent.Working in the neighborhood grocery store as a checker was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. I had to wear an ugly, scratchy uniform. It was cut at least three inches too short.My schedule of working hours was inconvenient. My hours changed each week. It was impossible to make plans in advance. Getting a day off was out of the question. The lack of working space bothered me. Except for a half-hour break, I was restricted to three square feet of room behind the counter. I felt like a cog in the cash register.PART II NOTE WRITINGTEM 2001:Yesterday you failed to turn up for the appointment with your teacher, Profess Wang.

These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet — meaning from an aircraft.Q: According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found ______.A. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.2010 Text BD2011 Text BBiologists offer a theory about this primal impulse to clean out every drawer and closet in the house at spring's first light, which has to do with melatonin, the sleepy timehormone(激素）our bodies produce when it's dark. When spring's light comes, the melatonin diminishes, and suddenly we are awakened to the dusty, virus-filled house we've been hibernating in for four months.Q: Which of the following interpretations of the biologists' theory about melatonin is INCORRECT?A. The production of melatonin in our bodies varies at different timesB. Melatonin is more likely to cause sleepiness in our bodiesC. The reduction of melatonin will cause wakefulness in our bodiesD. The amount of melatonin remains constant in our bodiesD2007 Text AIf you like the idea of staying with a family, living in a house might be the answer. Good landladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers, are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes. If you are lucky, the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and companionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to visit, and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guests are living under the same roof.The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing, with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion. One person may spend hours on the phone, while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; howdo you persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are student and want to study?Conversely, flat sharing can be very cheap, there will always be someone to talk to and go out with, and the chores, in theory, can be shared.A Q: What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing?A. There is peace and quiet.B. There is companionship.C. Housework.D. Rent is affordable2005 Text DWhat should you do to relieve rage？One myth is that ventilating willmake you feel better. In fact，researchers have found that's one of the worst strategies. A more effective technique is “reframingreframing””,which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light.In the case of the driver who cuts you off，you might tell yourself：Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent waysTice found, to put anger to rest.BQ: The essence ofQ: The essence of ““reframingreframing”” isA. to forget the unpleasant situation.B. to adopt a positive attitude.C. to protect oneself properly.D. to avoid road accidents.2008 Text C"What can I do to keep it from happening again?"He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing."After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I've heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn't stick me in what he called "the ethnic ghetto" –– a separate, secondary shelf in thecalled "the ethnic ghetto"bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and professional identity-just like the town you're born in and the place where you're raised.Like my father, I'll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.Q1. We learn from the passage that the author would ____ toprevent similar experience from happening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothingQ2.

Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). ...Many common words, such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year, also come from mythology....It seems that myths and legends live on in the English Language.BQ: The example of tantalize is to show ____.A. how Tantalus was punished in the lower worldB. how the word came into existenceC. how all English dictionaries show word originsD. how the meaning of the word changed over the years2011 Text CThese days, doing omiai often means going to a computer matching service rather than to a nakodo. The nakodo of tradition was an old woman who knew all the kids in the neighbourhood and went around trying to pair them off by speaking to their parents; a successful match would bring her a wedding invitation and a gift of money. But Japanese today find it's less awkward to reject a proposed if the nakodo is a computer.Japan has about five hundred computer matching services. Some big companies, including Mitsubishi, run one for their employees. At a typical commercial service, an applicant pays $80 to $125 to have his or her personal data stored in the computer for two years and $200 or so more if a marriage results. The stored information includes some obvious items, like education and hobbies, and some not-so-obvious ones, like whether a person is the oldest child. (First sons, and to some extent first daughters, face an obligation of caring for elderly parents.)CQ: What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To tell the differences between an old and modern nakodoB. To provide some examples for the traditional nakodoC. To offer more details of the computerized nakodoD.

Factors other than personality ensure better performance.2011 Text BBiologists offer a theory about this primal impulse to clean out every drawer and closet in the house at spring's first light, which has to do with melatonin, the sleepy time hormone(激素）our bodies produce when it's dark.

He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, "do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?"The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: 'No, sir.""Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude." "Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that,""No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few good points.Why did Mr. Rochester say "... and the you stab me in the back!" in the last para.?A. because Jane had intended to kill him with a knifeB. because Jane had intended to be more critical.C. because Jane had regretted having talked to himD. because Jane had said something else to correct herself.B2008 Text CMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I'm an American born and raised, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren't quite ready to let me in yet."Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber," the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent "in back" once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, "Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list. We're going to have to check you out with Washington." "How long will it take?""Hard to say... a few minutes," he said. "We'll call you when we're ready for you."After an hour, Washington still hadn't decided anything about me. "Isn't this computerized?"I asked at the counter. "Can't you just look me up?"Just a few more minutes, they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. "No phones!" he said. "For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information."Q: The author was held at the airport because _____.A. she and her husband returned from Jamaica.B. her name was similar to a terrorist's.C. she had been held in Montreal.D. she had spoken at a book event.BAround 7 pm on the evening of December 19th, 1827, keeper John Whalton was tending to his lightship, a sort of mobile lighthouse. He was anchored a few miles off Key Largo when, he said later, " I saw the flash and heard the report of seven or eight guns.Whalton was about to witness the tragic ending of a desperate chase in the waters offwhat was then the US Territory of Florida. The Guerrero, with hundreds of Africans enchained in its hold and crewed by 90 spaniards who were little more than pirates, was fleeing the Nimble, a British warship that was enforcing the international ban on slave trade.Q: What is true about John Whalton?A. He was serving the army at the time when the tragedy happenedB. Hardly had he seen the flash when he was notified of the conditionC. Both the Guerrero and the Nimbel were in the view of JohnD.

They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school.

When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or completely.

Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attchment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continuefrom previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user's life as revealed in earliercontact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer's own personality would be lively and impressive,and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such asthese, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.Q: Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A. ArtiA.

In today's prosperous and increasingly conservative Japan, the traditional omiai kekkon, or arranged marriage,is thriving.But there is a difference. In the original omiai, the young Japanese couldn't reject the partner chosen by his parents and their middleman. After WW Ⅱ, many Japanese abandoned the arranged marriage as part of their rush to adopt the more democratic ways of their American conquerors. The Western ren'ai kekkon, or love marriage, became popular; Japanese began picking their own mates by dating and falling in love.But the western way was often found wanting in an important aspect: it didn't necessarily produce a partner of the right economic, social and educational qualifications. "Today's young people are quite calculating," says Chieko Akiyama, a social commentator.AQ: Which of the following statements is CORRECT?A. A Western love marriage tends to miss some Japanese valuesB. Less attention is paid to the partner's qualifications in arranged marriageC.
