全面解析雅思听力考试题型

全面解析雅思听力考试题型全面解析雅思听力考试题型1.简答题所谓简答题即是指用简短的答案来回答问题。
读题时抓住疑问词,明确题目所问的方向是解答简答题的取胜法宝。
因此,在正式听取录音之前,一定要读题,弄清题目的意思。
另外,小站教育也要提醒各位烤鸭们,大家在填写完答案的时候,注意要做检查,看自己的答案是否清楚明白。
对于没有听出的内容,也要大胆做猜测,然后填一个自己猜测的答案,注意不要留空。
2.选择题选择题对大家来说是最不陌生的一类题目,传统各类考试中都会有选择题。
但是雅思听力考试这与传统考试不一样,雅思听力考试的选择题更加注重细节的考察。
虽然考生会比较容易上手,但回答难度还是较大的。
很多同学对于细节的把握不够到位,因此做选择题的时候更是要注意从细节方面入手。
3.填空题通常来说,雅思听力考试中的填空题又分为三个小类,一是单句填空题;二是总结填空题;三是提纲式填空题。
处理这三类填空题的基本思路是一样的。
但是由于不同类别的填空题,题干长度是不一样的,当然回答难度也是各异的。
4.填表格题表格题在雅思听力考试中出现的频率是较高的。
通常来说,应对填表格题的解题思路分为四步,一是扫描表格的横纵轴,把握表格的整体内容;二是根据表格中已给的信息对要填的内容进行预测;三是注意拼读规律的运用和题目的特殊要求;四是做检查,注意答案的格式。
5.搭配题搭配题的特点是题型分为题干和选项两部分,要求考生根据录音内容所表示的逻辑关系将两部分进行搭配。
在解答的过程中,要注意选项的不同处,以帮助自己找出录音中的关键词,从而在两个相似的选项间做出正确的选择。
另外,小站教育要提醒一点,做搭配题的时候,要注意避免过度预测。
根据录音内容来作答,而不是利用常识及逻辑关系进行推测。
6.地图题、图画题、图例题这三种题型题都有一个特点,那就是包含了的图画。
这是与传统英语听力考试最大的区别。
初学者往往对觉得难以应对。
解答这类题,关键是要把图画的意思看懂。
雅思听力考试中那些易错的题目在备考雅思考试时,除了要多做练习之外,分析、总结并吸收之前的错题至关重要,但这个步骤却经常为大家所忽视。

However, I firmly believe that reading holds a unique place in my daily life, and it is an activity that has profoundly influenced me.Firstly, reading books is a source of knowledge and wisdom. Through the pages of a book, I am transported to different worlds, cultures, and eras. I learn about the experiences of others, which broaden my horizons and enrich my understanding of the world. This knowledge not only satisfies my intellectual curiosity but also prepares me for the challenges I may face in life.Secondly, reading books provides me with a sense of tranquility and escape. In a world filled with distractions and noise, books offer a quiet space for me to reflect and unwind. Whether I am reading a thrilling adventure story or a thought-provoking novel, I am able to immerse myself in the story and forget about the worries of daily life. This respite from reality helps me recharge and approach life with a fresh perspective.Lastly, reading books has had a profound impact on my personal growth.Through the characters and stories I encounter, I am able to identify with them and learn from their mistakes and successes. This has helped me develop empathy, compassion, and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, reading has inspired me to pursue my passions and dreams, and it has given me the courage to face my fears and overcome obstacles.In conclusion, the importance of reading books in my daily life cannot be overstated. It is a source of knowledge, a refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and a catalyst for personal growth. As I continue to embark on this journey of reading, I am confident that it will continue to enrich my life and shape me into a better person.。

新视野听说教程第4册 听力原文Unit1
Unit 1 The Fame GameWarming UpAudio ScriptM: You’re telling me that you’d rather be famous than be respected as a good person?W: Well, I don’t know. It’s just that I see all these famous people on TV, and well, it’s hard not to want the same thing for myself – attention, love from millions of people…M: Love? Do you think people actually love celebrities? I don’t think so! The public enjoys watching famous people get into trouble even more than they like watching them succeed. Besides, being a famous person means never having time to yourself – appear before crowds, having people follow you around 24-7. Believe me, it isn’t fun.W: You talk as if you know something about celebrity. Were you ever famous?M: You know the old saying “Everything has his 15 minutes of fame”? Well, I expect to have my 15 minutes someday. But I don’t expect to like it.(Words: 148) 1. F 2. T 3. NGListeningUnderstanding Short ConversationsAudio Scripts1.W: You don’t really seem interested in painting pictures, so why did you apply to this art program?M: To be honest, I thought that through art, I could become famous. Pretty stupid, huh? Q: What can be inferred from this conversation?2.W: You have everything you ever wanted! But why do you look so blue?M: Ah, man, I discovered that all those things – money, fame, and the lot – are all empty. And in trying to get them, I ignored my art.Q: Why is the man not happy?3.W: Hey, Marty. What’s the matter, pal? When you first started writing, you did so much better work. Are you bored or something?M: I know my work is suffering, but I don’t know the reason. I don’t seem so interested anymore. Maybe, as you said, I am bored. Who knows?Q: What are the speakers talking about?4.W: Is it true what they say about the director? Does he really work for art, not for fame? M: That’s what people say, and I’m inclined to believe them. He certainly hasn’t sold out to the cheap film companies.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?5.W: What’s on the schedule for tonight’s show? Something I’m likely to enjoy?M: You might like it – a story about a dancer who sells his soul to become famous and then loses his friends, family, and everything important.Q: What is tonight’s show about?6.W: Isn’t that man who won an Academy Award for his cartoon artwork?M: What? That tramp? Hey, you know, I think you’re right. Man, what happened to him? He was really famous!Q: What happened to the artist at last?7.W: Look! Look! Look! Look at me, Dad! I’ve done it! Success, money, popularity…The world is at the tip of my fingers and I feel like a queen!M: Sweetheart, I think you need to cool down a bit. Don’t let all of this success go to your head.Q: What has happened to the woman?8.W: Get a grip on yourself! Don’t you dare quit your job! Y ou really think you can succeed as an actor? Do you really think you can become famous?M: I don’t think I need to be famous to succeed. I’m sure I can get work as an extra and then maybe move on to more interesting roles.Q: What are the speakers talking about?9.W: Hey, you! Watch out! Where’s your head? Walking in front of cars like that?M: Huh? Ah! Oh! Sorry, I mean… thanks, I just received word from my agent that my book is to be published. Isn’t it wonderful? Sorry I was daydreaming about the fame to come and forget to look at the traffic.Q: Where is the conversation taking place?10.W: Thanks for coming in. I loved your work, but I wish it looked more like your previous pieces.M: God! I knew it! Complaints from my teacher, my mother… even my doctor! And now, my boss? Since I became famous, no one will let me change!Q: What is the relationship between the speakers?1. A2. C3. B4. B5. D6. B7. A8. C9. C 10. DUnderstand a Long ConversationAudio ScriptM: There’s only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that’s not being talked about.W: That was said by Oscar Wilde, wasn’t it?M: That’s right. You’re pretty smart.W: I have my moments. But I’m afraid that I won’t remember anything else for your test tomorrow.M: Well, let’s have a run-through. First, what can you remember about Wilde?W: The basics, obviously – British, 19th century writer… He was gay, wasn’t he?M: That’s right. And he actually went to jail for it.W: Why? There must’ve been many gays in English at the time. Why was he singled out to be put in prison? Or, were the English throwing all gays in jail?M: No, not everyone. But things were different for Wilde. A famous person, like him, isn’t free to do what he likes. People paid more attention to his actions. There were reporters, and everything that he said and did was watched carefully.W: Yeah? It might’ve been better for him if he wasn’t famous.M: Maybe. But, then again, if he wasn’t well-known, we might not have his wonderful stories today. (Words: 190)1. What are the speakers talking about? A2. What did Oscar Wilde say? B3. What is the probable relationship between the speakers? A4. Why was Oscar Wilde treated differently? C5. What can be inferred from the conversation? BUnderstanding a PassageAudio ScriptYou young people go crazy over famous people. Will you listen to me when I tell you your generation is wrong about this? Let me use an example to illustrate my point to you.Marilyn Monroe, you might not even know who she is. Back in my day, when I was your age, she was a big movie star. But she wasn’t born a movie star, no sir. She was a simple girl with beauty and innocence until she went to Hollywood to make movies. That’s right. Instead of living out a simple life of integrity and hard work or trying to develop a respectable name in her profession, she sought fame. Well, I’ll tell you, she got her wish. She made her movies –All About Eve in 1950, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in 1953, Some Like It Hot in 1959, and more. She got into trouble throughout – drugs, abuse… All of this came crashing down on her head, and she died at an early age in 1962. Sad, really.I hope that this example shows you the dangers of fame. Believe me, it’s best just to live a simple life. (Words: 190)1. What is the man talking about? A2. What is TRUE according to what you hear? A3. Why did Monroe go to Hollywood? D4. When was Some Like It Hot made? B5. Why is the man telling this story? CUnderstanding a Radio ProgramAudio ScriptIt was the royal wedding we remember best of all. Twenty-five years ago tomorrow, Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. CBS News correspondent Randall Pinkston looks back to the perfect day which didn’t turn out happily ever after.It was the wedding of the century, watched by over half-a-million people in Britain, and the worldwide audience of a staggering 750 million. The young bride, peering out smilingly from her glass coach, would become the most famous woman in the world, and change the monarchy forever. But that was in the distant and tragic future. On this day in July, 1981, joy filled the land.This was a moment in history, that, you know, that Prince Charles was going to be king and she was going to be his queen. She was so young, and so beautiful. And she had already sort of got a stranglehold on the hearts and minds of the people.British journalist Victoria Mather was one of the wedding guests that fabled day.“What do you remember most about that day?”“I remember most that it was just exactly like anybody else’s wedding. That, the bride’s mom wore a flowery hat. You know, and there was the naughty little bridesmaid; the bridegroom looked nervous; and the bride fluffed her lines. I mean it was just so like anybody else’s wedding, it was just writ large.Like the train of Diana’s wedding gown, which seemed to go on forever. Elizabeth Emanuel, with her then-husband David, designed the dress. Right after the wedding, they received a phone call.“It was Diana, and we, we couldn’t believe it, and she had phoned to thank us for making her wedding dress and saying she left so beautiful in it.”(Words: 295)1. Charles, prince of England, married in St. Paul’s Cathedral.2. Victoria Mather was a guest at the wedding ceremony.3. Diana’s mother wore a hat with flowers at the wedding.4. The bridesmaid is remembered as having been naughty.5. David Emanuel was one of the designers of the wedding dress.Speaking: Speaking Practice : Audio ScriptMoney, awards, and attention often come with fame. For some people, these things have a corrupting influence. They cling to their fame, seek to make more money, and stop being creative. This wasn’t the case with Marie Curie, one of the greatest scientists in history.Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in 1903. This did not stop her from continuing to work and make even more discoveries and inventions. For her ceaseless efforts and scientific discoveries, Curie earned her second Nobel Prize in 1911. She was the first person ever to receive two Nobel Prizes. Fame was never a burden to Curie.It wouldn’t have been surprising has Curie become a millionaire. She did not and never thought of money! Instead of patenting her work, she allowed other scientists to use it freely so they could also help mankind. She also donated 2 grams of radium for research work. And during World War II, she was a volunteer in hospitals, helping them make use of radiation. (Words: 171)Key for Reference:In light of Marie Curie’s example, we are asked to say something of fame. Curie set a high standard for famous people. Having achieved fame, she continued her work. Not only that, but she remained unselfish. Though she could’ve earned greater riches and enjoyed a more comfortable life, she didn’t. She put others first, and she put her work before herself. She lived and died for her work, and nothing more could be asked of a person. Her example shows us two things. First, it shows that there is nothing wrong with fame. Fame is a symbol of success in one’s career. When on has achieved it, fame shows that a person has done well. It can even encourage people to work even harder, to do even better work. Following this idea, people can have a positive attitude toward fame – not making it a burden, but avoiding the corruption that can occur because of it. Second, Curie’s example shows us what a person should do in the face of fame. So many people, after they have become famous, allow themselves to be corrupted. After becoming famous, they stop working hard or they take making money as their goal. It is clear that in doing this they have not acted well in the face of fame. These corrupted individuals should look at the life of Curie. Famous people, after having proven themselves well, should continue doing well. Whether it is in the arts or in the sciences, accomplishment and selfless devotion to work should continue. In this way, the world will become better for all people.Listening and SpeakingListening and SummarizingAudio ScriptPeople often say that being famous is a hassle. I don’t see why. From what I’ve seen, from people on TV and in movies, having fame is a never-ending joy. Right here, I’d like to introduce the reasons behind my thought.Firstly, famous people enjoy a status that other people simply don’t have. W ith this higher status, famous people can enjoy such pleasures as getting a table at a crowded restaurant whenever they want one. People look up to and respect those with fame.Secondly, famous people receive attention from others. How often do you feel ignored and unheard by others? Famous people don’t have this problem. When they speak, people listen.Thirdly, famous people can often use their fame to make money. They can bring attention to products and receive money for doing so, or they can act in movies.I, for one, would like to be famous. And I suspect that even people who are against fame would secretly like to be famous too.(Words: 166)Reasons why being famous is good1. Famous people have high status.2. Famous people receive attention.3. Famous people can make money.HomeworkSupplementary ListeningTask 1Audio ScriptW: How important are friends to you, Bill?M: That’s kind of a strange question for this setting, don’t you think so?W: Well, the teacher hasn’t come in yet, class hasn’t begun, and I was just wondering about it. So, what do you think about friends?M: I’ve never regarded them as particularly important. Perhaps that’s because I come from a big family –two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins. That’s what’s really important to me. What about you, Emma?W: My situation, you know, is different, so I have different ideas. To me friendship… having friends… people I know I can really count on… to me that’s the most important thing in life. It’s more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings and bitterness. But a good friend is a friend for life.M: In my mind, a friend is someone who likes the same thing as you do, with whom you can argue without losing your temper, even if you don’t always agree with him.(Words: 188) Task 11. What are the speakers talking about? D2. What has the man always thought? A3. What can be inferred from the conversation? B4. What does the man think about friends? B5. Where is the conversation taking place? ATask 2Audio ScriptAt the age of 41, Clark Gable, one of Hollywood’s biggest actors, enlisted in the army, serving in World War II. Gable’s postwar films were, for the most part, disappointing, as was his 1949 marriage. Dropped by both his wife and his studio, Gable ventured out as a freelance actor in 1955, quickly becoming the highest paid actor in Hollywood. He again found happiness with his fifth wife and continued his career in such critical failures as Teacher’s Pet, released in 1958. In 1960, Gable was signed fro the “modern” Western, The Misfits. The troubled and tragic history of this film has been well documented, but, despite the on-set tension, Gable took on the task uncomplainingly, going so far as to perform several grueling stunt scenes involving wild horses. The strain of filming, however, coupled with his ever-robust lifestyle, proved too much for the actor. Clark Gable suffered a heart attack two days after the competition of The Misfits and died in 1960 at the age of 59, just a few months before the birth of his first son. Most of the nation’s newspapers announced the death of Clark Gable with a four-word headline: “The King is Dead.”(Words: 198)Task 21. What is this passage about? C2. When did Gable become a freelance actor? A3. What can we know about Gable from the passage? B4. What is described as being “tragic” in the passage? B5. What can be inferred from the passage? ATask 3Audio ScriptNursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing 1) shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.At Beth Israel, each patient is 2) assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his or her medical history to his or her emotional state. Then, the nurse writes a care plan, one that is not only 3) centered on the patient’s illness but also one which includes everything else that is necessary.The primary nurse stays with the patient throughout his or her 4) hospitalization, keeping track of his or her progress and seeking further advice from the doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to 5) treatment, it is not uncommon for the nurse to propose another approach to the doctor. What the doctors at Beth Israel have in the primary nurse is a true 6) colleague.Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a 7) decentralized nursing administration; every floor and every unit is a self-contained organization. 8) There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties, they do all their own hiring and firing, and employee advising. They even make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses 9) decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.Beth Israel’s nurse-in-chief ranks as 10) an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. The nurse-in-chief is also a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.(Words: 257)。
Unit 2 Selling Online-audio scripts
Unit 2 Selling online2.1 (I = Interviewer, IT = Indira Thambiah)I Argos sells goods in its high-street stores and online.How do you run these operations successfully side by side?IT The key to our success is that we treat the customer asa single individual, and we don't treat customers asonline customers or store customers. Our experienceshows that customers will sometimes buy online, sometimes order on the telephone and sometimes gointo the stores to pick up goods. So we need to understand what our customers want at any one timeor what our customers want depending on the productthat they're buying, and serve those customers in themost appropriate way. In terms of our operation, our operations are fully integrated. The prices that weshow on the website are identical to the prices that you would pay in the store. You can call up a call centreand enquire about an order that you, you placedthrough any channel, whether that's the store, thewebsite or the telephone. And if you buy somethingfrom the website and you don't like what you've got,you can return that item to a store. So running a multichannel operation is the key to our success. We don'trun operations side by side; we run a truly integratedmulti-channel offer.2.2 (I = Interviewer, IT = Indira Thambiah)I What do you think are the keys to success in online selling?IT I think the, the most important thing is to understandthat customers use websites for lots of differentreasons. Some people are coming to a website toactually buy something on that day; um, other people,uh, and a lot of people, are coming to a website toacquire information either about a product, um, orabout the retailer, um, and the key to selling online isto understand or recognise what the customer wantswhen they're on your website and try and provide that information. So the keys for us are providing goodimages and good information –technical informationon all of the products that we sell; being very clearabout the price of the product and any promotionsthat are running alongside those products; being veryclear to the customer about what the delivery optionsare for each individual product; and then, allowingthem to find all of that information and then buy once they're ready.2.3 (IT = Indira Thambiah)IT The key is to understand that not everybody wants to buy from a website, um, and for us, a lot of our customers will, will research products online and then go to the store to pick that product up. Um, and so it's about understanding that customers online behavevery similarly to customers on the high street: they come and browse, and then they think about it, andthen they come back and buy. And again it's goingback to understanding that customers are people,they're not online customers or store customers, they're just customers, um, and that they will want to do different things at different times. Um, so the key's making a site that is easy to navigate, easy to find, um, and easy to transact with. And if you can get those key things right, then customers will keep coming back to you.2.4 (M = Michelle, D = Designer)M Let's talk about the time for setting up the website. We want it in a month's time. That's the end of July.D It's a bit early. I was hoping to have two months to do the job. If I finish in one month, will you agree to reduce the number of pages?M Yes, that's no problem. Just do the best you can. Our priority is to have the website up and running as soonas possible.D OK then, agreed.2.5 (M = Michelle, D = Designer)M Now about payment. You want to charge us 50 dollars an hour. That works out at 400 dollars a day, I believe.D Yes, that's the normal fee for the job.M Well, we'd prefer to pay you a fixed amount for the work. We can offer you $6,000.D I see. Do you mind if I ask you why you want to pay that way?M Well, you see, that way we can control the cost of the project. If we pay you per hour, the cost could become high. It could get out of control. This way, we know where we stand.D I see. $6,000. Mmm, that could be all right, I suppose, as long as I get some money in advance. How about paying me half when I start the work and half at the end?M Yes, I think we could arrange that. OK. I agree to that.2.6 (M = Michelle, D = Designer)D Now, the design of the website. Will we have book covers on it?M Absolutely. I'd like to display a large number of book covers on every page. They'd really attract people's attention. What do you think?D It's a bit too much, I'd say. A lot of pictures take too long to download. I'd prefer one big image. How about that?M Mmm, I don't know. People like to see the book covers. It draws them into the website, believe me.D Maybe you're right. How about two covers per page, then?M OK, that sounds reasonable. Now, what else do we need to discuss before you get started?。
