新四级听力应试技巧

对于占据35%的听力部分，以下最直接，最具体的考试技巧，一定会让你多份考试的信心。

Short Conversations

题目序号：11-18

及格数量：5-6道推荐准确数量：6-7题

重点场景：Airport（flight） restaurant hotel

重点主题：Campus life job-hutting

核心技巧：1、后句比前句重要，回答比提问重要

2、若选项中个别单词或短语被明显播读，此项多为错项

3、最好能够听懂问题在问什么

例题： 2006年6月第11题

A) The girls got on well with each other.

B) It's understandable that girls don't get along。

C) She was angry with the other young stars.

D) The girls lacked the courage to fight.

原文：

M：What was it like working with those young stars? （前句；问句）

W: It was a great group. I always got mad that people said that we didn't get along just because we are girls. There was never a fight. We had a great time. （后句；答句）

解析：原文中被划出横线的部分都和选项明显一致。但是仅仅是一个单词的一致，选项整体含义与题干南辕北辙。准确答案是A。

　Longer Conversations

题目序号：19-25

及格数量：4 推荐准确数量：5-6道

听力长对话（Long Conversations）的长度一般在6-20句之间，字数在120-250字之间。针对每篇长对话的问题可能会有2-5个。与短对话相比，长对话涉及的内容更深入，人物态度，语气，情感变化更复杂，一般不能简单依赖某个关键词来判断整篇对话的含义。一人一句的短对话涉及的只是一个“点”，而长对话涉 及的是一个“面”。短对话的答案一般是“显而易见”的，而长对话有时更依赖于推断和判断。尽管如此，长对话必然有一个中心议题，中心议题正是该“面”的凝聚点，对话双方都是围绕该中心而展开话题，对于长对话而言，做出正确选择的关键就是把握住对话的中心思想。

由于对话较多，长对话的场景就显得格外重要，准确判断对话的场景（situation），对把握对话的中心思想是非常有帮助的。这里所谈到的场景，是指人物，身份或职业，议论的问题，时 间，地点等等的综合概念。清晰的场景会在考生头脑中形成氛围，容易把握对话的发展脉络，使对话情节的发展更加顺理成章。

I t's recruiting translators.（第24题。视听基本一致）

W：The European Space Agency？

M：Well，That is what it says. They need an English

translator（第24题。视听基本一致） to work from French or German. W：So they need a degree in French or German，I suppose.

Well，I've got that. What's more？ I've plenty of experience. What else are they asking for？

M：Just that.. A university degree，and 3 or 4 years experience as a translator in a professional environment.

They also say，the person should have a lively and inquiring mind，effective communication skills，and the ability to work individually，or as a part of the team.（第25题AB项同时被读到，于是就都错了）

W：Well，if I stay on my present job much longer，I won't have any mind or skills left.（作对第23题的第二次机会） By the way，what about the salary？I just hope it isn't lower than what I get now.

M：It's said to be negotiable. It depends on the applicant's education and experience.（最后被读到，第25题准确答案。视听基本一致）In addition to basic salary，there's a list extra benefits. Have a look yourself.

应试技巧

概括地说，要听好长对话，必须做到以下五点：

（1）通过预读选项信息，能迅速把握它们的内在联系，从而预测

所听对话材料的基本内容，并且从各个问题间的内在联系提炼出对话的中心思想，更好地理解个检测点的细节。下面两点值得特别关注：a.注意重复的词语，这些词通常会给你一些线索，还会帮助你回忆起你在题目中听过的名称；b.注意各个选项中的不同点，注意一些不同的名字，地点及不同的动词，这些不同之处将会帮你确定这道题中哪些是你要听的关键。

（2）排除明显错误的选项。及时排除明显错误的选项，将有助于你提高正确率。

（3）把握做题的节奏。做题的节奏在听力中比在其他部分要重要得多，每一项提问的时 间间隔都是相同的，这就暗示着答题的节奏感。做到答题的节奏与提问的节奏相一致，一旦答题的节奏落后了，就会手忙脚乱，出错的几率大大增加。

（4）提高短期记忆能力，学会脑笔同记，边听边记和一系列适用自己的记忆方法。

（5）熟悉各种固定的提问形式，根据对话的发展预测可能提出的问题。

短文听力命题趋势与特点

Passage Comprehensions

题目序号：26-35

及格数量：6 推荐准确数量：8道

核心技巧：1、视听基本一致

2、顺序答题，首尾句，转折关系等重点词汇

　做短文部分听力测试题时，应注意应用以下方法：

1． 先浏览问题，再根据问题预测内容； 2． 许多问题的出现顺序与文章内容的顺序基本一致；

3．短文中的问题多为对细节内容的考查，因此选项加上题干的内容大致与文章的内容相符4．记住事件发生的时间和地点；

5．综合记忆短文中的事实和理由；

6．通过所给信息判断人物的身份及相互间的关系。

　例题： 2007年12月第一篇短文听力

26. A）They care a lot about children.

B）They need looking after in their old age.

C）They want to enrich their life experience.

D）They want children to keep them company.

27.A）They are usually adopted from distant places.

B）Their birth information is usually kept secret.

C）Their birth parents often try to conceal their birth information.

D）Their adoptive parents don't want them to know their birth parents.

28. A）They generally hold bad feeling towards their birth parents.

B）They do not want to hurt the feelings of their adoptive parents.

C）They have mixed feelings about finding their natural parents.

D）They are fully aware of the expenses involved in the search.

29. A）Early adoption makes for closer parent-child relationship.

B）Most people prefer to adopt children from overseas.

C）Understanding is the key to successful adoption.

D）Adoption has much to do with love.

答案：ABCD

原文：

When couples get married，they usually plan to have children，Sometimes，however，a couple can not have a child of their own. In this case，they may decide to adopt a child. In fact，adoption is very common today. There are about 60,000 adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some people prefer to adopt infants. Others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own families，they all adopt children for the same reason. They care about children（第26题） and want to give their adopted child a happy life.

Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and childcare experts generally think this is a good idea. However，many adopted children or adoptees have very little information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact，it is often very difficult for adoptees

to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is secret，（第27题）so no one can see it.

Naturally，adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want to search for them，but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make.

Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents（第28题）. Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents，they do know that their adoptive parents want them，love them and will care for them.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you've just heard.

26.According to the speaker，why do some couples adopt children？

27.Why is it difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents？

28.Why do many adoptees find it hard to make the decision to search for their birth parents？

29.What can we infer from the passage？

复合式听写 (Compound dictation)

　复合式听写设计的目的是考核考生听的能力、拼写能力、记笔记能力和书面表达能力。

听写短文在题材上类似于上面所讲到的听力短文。主要是以英、美国家的社会、教育、文化、风俗、地理等题材为主，另外还有科普、故事、人物传记和常识型题材。词汇不超过教学大纲的词汇表四级规定的范围，朗读速度略低于大学英语教学大纲规定的语速。

复合式听写是在约250字左右的短文中，留出10个空格（约50个单词让考生填写）。短文将被朗读三遍，第一遍以正常速度朗读全文，中间没有停顿，让考生大致了解全文；读第二遍时每个空格之后会有停顿，要求考生在理解的基础上记下听到的内容；第三遍朗读与第一遍相同，以便考生进行核对。相对于短文来说，复合式听写比较容易，考生只需把听到的内容填入空格即可。

复合式听写由两部分组成：第一部分是听写单词，要求考生在空格中填入所缺单词；注意是按照所听到的内容，一成不变地填上。填的时候一定要注意短文前后意思的连贯以及前后时态的一致性。第二部分是表达，要求考生根据所听内容写出要点。考生可以用一些较简单的句型或自己的话写出表达部分的要点，也可以用听到的原话。但是要一字不漏地把所听到的几个长句子记下来往往比较困难；因此可根据关键词(key words)的提示来整理，但不能缺少要点。这部分主要是考察考生对所听到的短文整体内容的理解程度，填的时候一定也要注意前后意思和时态的一致性。

复合式听写的方法和技巧

复合式听写部分五大技巧：

这个部分主要考核的是考生听的能力以及书面表达能力。做此部分时要注意以下几点：

1．在播放Directions部分时，快速浏览现有的材

料，对所听的短文有一个大致的了解，力争把握篇章大意。

2．在Directions部分快要结束的时候，及时将注意力转回文章开头，做好听写准备。

3．听第一遍录音时，重点在于理解全文，而不要急于动笔。正确的做法是：一边听录音，一边看文字材料，重点在空格部分，力争听懂空格处是一个短语还是一个句子，为第二遍听录音、写内容打好基础。

4．听第二遍录音时，考生应利用空格后的停顿时间，以最快的速度记录下来。

5．第三遍录音提供了一次检查修改的机会。

复合式听写单词听写：

A：单词听写

这部分侧重检测考生对单词的音，形，义的综合掌握能力，一般说来，做听写填空题，可按下列步骤和技巧进行：

1、听抄。

要从音、形、义，用四个方面入手，并结合上下文听懂该单词，如1997年6月考题复合式听写Ｓ1空格中，No working day is identical to any other, so there is no “typical” day for a police officer. 许多考生都听懂了“typical”一词，但却将其拼写为“topical”，显然不了解typical 派生于type (类型)一词，还有些考生将其拼为difficult, 也许是由于未能扎实掌握形容

词后缀- al的缘故。

2、检查：

1）时态、语态是否正确？

2）语意是否通顺？英语中有很多读音相似或同音异形、异义词，选择哪一个词应由整句话的句意及上下文的连贯性来决定。语句结构是否完整？听的时候，如冠词、介词可能听得不是很清楚，检查时要根据上下文决定是否需要。

B 句子听写：

1.培养和锻炼逻辑思维能力：即一是要培养直接用英语进行逻辑思维的能力，二是要根据上下文用逻辑推理来预测事物的发展情况的能力。让我们仍以CET-4 97.6试题中Ｓ10为例，它的原文是：I thought she was going to have the baby right in my cars. But　fortunately, (S10) 〖the baby waited to “arrive” until we got to the hospital〗.我以为她会在我的警车内就把孩子生下来，但幸运的是，

（S10）…。

即使未听清录音，根据前后句的转折关系，我们也猜得出孩子没生在车上，而是到医院以后才出世。这样，就可以排除某些考生理解上的错误，以

为“the baby waited in the hospital” (孩子在医院中等候)。有些考生也可能没听懂录音中“waited to arrive” 是“等待出世”之意，但都仍然根据上下文推断“the baby was born in the hospital”,其义也对。所以培养预测能力，随机应变，在听力考试中是非常

必要的。

2．使用速记方法：学生在听写时往往会出现记下了听写的第一个单词，而后面的几句匆匆而过，来不及填写后面内容。针对这个问题，在考试中应采用速记方法，迅速记下每个听到的单词。所谓的速记就是用一些简单的符号缩写，字母记下所听到的内容，不让每个单词漏网。

例如：∵→because ; ∴→so ;　＝→ equal;

sth.→ something;

sts→ students; ads→ advertisement; fridge-refrigerator ； demo→ demonstration ;

esp. → especially; somebody→ sb.

等等。先速记，然后再展开这些单词，这样所听的内容就不易漏掉了。

上面介绍的就是英语听力的一些突破方法，结合这几种方法，多听多练，大家的听力会有新的突破。
