長對話聽力技巧及練習
細節題目:考查對于細節的關注和整體大意的把握,需要注意的細節有:
對話地點:where do you think this conversation most probably take place?
對話雙方:who are the two speakers? What’s the relationship between them?
對話時間:What time is the plane leaving? When does the conversation take place?
答題招數:先瀏覽選項,一旦發現人物,地點,數字,時間,單個名詞馬上圈下來。把聽到的和選項符合的細節選項全部標出,這樣能迅速鎖定準確選項的范圍。

新東方四級聽力筆記
上海新東方四級精品班Tom(徐星海)老師主講
短對話部分
短對話聽力的一些原則
1. 推理原則:一般需對對話進行推理,故直接在對話中聽到的一般不是正確答案。2. 挫折原則:通常要辦的事情都是不順利的(如買東西買不到,訂房間客滿等)3. 男女原則:一般男生比較衰,女生比較牛。男生提出的觀點女生都是不同意或有不同看法的,反之女生提出的觀點男生都是同意和贊賞的。
男生的特征:臟、亂、差、浪費、窮、小氣、不良習慣、遲鈍、不顧家
女生的特征:愛干凈、節約、富有、好學、能干、聰明、大度、耐心、戀家、除數理化外成績都很好。
4. 父母一般只有一個作用教育子女好好學習
5. 除了父母教育子女外,家里(包括朋友家,阿姨家等等)發生的事情一般是不考的,故遇到地點推測題類似 at home / at Mary’s home之類的選項一般都是不對的。6. 四級聽力短對話只考日常生活學習中遇得到事情,問題,故如果選項中出現一些日常生活中不太可能發生或很少發生的事情一般不會是正確選項
短對話十大場景及一般思路
1. 借車:車一般是借不到的
2. 吃:匹薩,海鮮吃了一般會有不適反應,―派‖一般比較好吃
3. 考試:作業、論文一般比較難,或須要熬夜。教授一般比較嚴厲,選修課較難較多
4. 坐車(飛機、輪船):一般都需要等 5. 事故(災難):光明原則,一般不會死人
6. 聽講座:題目一般是比較有趣豐富的,內容一般是比較復雜難懂的 7. 論文:一般需要修改(polish)或重寫(rewrite)
8. 休閑:男生一般喜歡待在家里看TV或者看movie,女生一般喜歡高雅藝術如theater
9. 醫院:需要預約make an appointment 10買票:基本上是買不到的 短對話的常見場景

語段題10大解題原則
1. 聽即原則:所聽即所得,聽到什么就選什么(正好與短對話相反,短對話時聽到的一般不選)
2. 重讀原則:某單詞被反復讀到或是在語音上加以重讀,因引起重視如果選項中出現很可能是正確答案
3. 順序原則:出題順序一般與行文順序相同除了主題題和部分說明文
4. 主題原則:主題一般出現在段落的頭尾部分,所以要集中精力聽清前三句話和最后兩句話
5. 原因原則:凡出現表示原因,目的的很有可能是考點如:because so as 等詞前后要著重聽
6. 轉則原則:凡出現表示轉則的詞如:but however yet 等,后面的句子往往是考點,要引起重視

9. 窮學生原則:學生一般都是比較窮的,不能繼續學業一般都是因為經濟原因,因為窮一般還比較喜歡DIY一些東西
10.偏怪小原則:一般故事總是稀奇古怪的,經過總是曲折離奇的,結局總是出人意料的。宗旨就是意料之外、情理之中 語段題的做提步驟
1. 先預讀備選項,從備選項推測文章的體裁和大致內容
2. 更據十大原則和該類文章的重點大致推測考點可能出現的位置
天上砍木材團隊
3. 聽語段,尤其抓住標志詞,確定考點
4. 聽問題,將原文的意思對應選項。確定考點后用原文對應選項 對應選項一般有四種情況按難度依次為 原詞復現:選項中的用詞和原文完全一樣
同義復現:選項中用一個同義詞或詞組替換原文中的詞近義復現:選項與原文意思相近,但換了一種表達方式
反意復現:選項與原文表達正好相反,但意思是一樣的如:原文說如果怎樣就會怎樣,選項說如果不怎么樣就會如何。十大類標志詞
據研究有90%以上的考點都是由標志詞引導活提示的,因此在語段聽力中聽到下列標志詞時要引起高度的重視,集中注意力聽清標志詞前后的句子。

2. 選項往往比較抽象,一般以 it / they / man / woman /等抽象名詞做主語 3. 選項往往表達因果、目的、手段的小詞 如:because / by / to 4. 選項具備科學性、客觀性的特點,但選項之間缺乏邏輯關系
說明文的文章特點
1. 文章緊緊圍繞一個事物或事件進行描述,深入淺出,要求知其所以然 2. 文章緊扣一個中心事物,著重描寫一個熟悉事物的與眾不同處
3. 語言平實、簡潔、明白,有時會用以下修辭方法:分類法、舉例子、做比較、列數字
4. 層次結構清楚,多為總分結構
5. 開篇引題,重點不分明。但以設問開頭的說明文除外。
標志詞常出現的位置 1. 在每個層次的啟承處

重點注意三個―age‖即 advantage 優勢 disadvantage 劣勢 usage 用途
環境類說明文
重點在于產生環境問題的原因及解決方法 實驗類說明文 重點在于:
實驗目的、實驗手段、實驗結果 演講類說明文 重點在于:
演講主題、說話人的觀點、文章走向 應該重視的原則 聽即原則 主題原則 層次原則 原因原則 轉折原則

1. 聽即原則,尤其重視重讀、重讀現象 2. 主題原則,段首往往是考點
3. 特別重視三類標志詞:因果 轉折 時間 4. 光明原則:事情一般都是逢兇化吉的

復合式聽寫答題順序及技巧
聽之前:pre – listening 1. 對全文進行全局性預覽:尤其是第一句(topic)最后一句(conclusion)2. 觀察空格前后的特殊現象,判斷詞性,單復數,時態語態 聽之時:while-listening
原則:精聽,速記,以聽為主,以記為輔。如何速記
1. 省略虛詞如:如冠詞,助動詞等
2. 遇到詞組記每個單詞首字母如 break down 就記作B D,但一定要自己看得懂的
3. 長單詞記前三個字母 如:experience 就記作 exp 4. 符號記憶 如:more than 就記作‖>‖ less than 記作 ―<‖ equal to 記作 ―=‖等等
5. 混合記憶 就是把上面幾種方法混合起來用,還可以夾雜中文字等等
6. 隨便記憶 如果實在一時想不出是什么詞,就用拼音,音標或者讀音相近的詞先把他記下來。總之就是不管對錯,先把大致讀音記下來再說,然后等有時間再慢慢研究。
7. 無論采取何種記錄方法最重要的原則是記得自己看得懂,待會能很方便的回想和復原出來。不要記得到時候自己也想不起來是什么東西。

聽之后:after – listening 全面檢查和補全前面記錄下的東西 1. 檢查漏詞
a 檢查漏掉的:介詞(in on at ……),冠詞(a an the),代詞(it this that ……)
b 漏詞綴:漏掉單詞前綴,漏掉非謂語形式(―ing‖……),漏掉過去時態(最容易出錯的是以下四個短語 decided to / surprised to / learned to / started to)2. 檢查錯詞
a 長單詞容易發生拼寫錯誤,要仔細檢查一遍
b 短單詞容易和同音異義詞混淆,檢查時要和上下文連起來看看意思是不是對 3. 檢查大小寫
人名 地名 國家名 時間名(月份什么)節日名 書名 文件名 商標名 歷史事件名 宗教名首字都要大寫 句首單詞首字母也要大寫
4. 檢查名詞單復數,形容詞、副詞比較級最高級,動詞事態,語態
關于最后三句話的聽寫注意事項和技巧
這個三句話一般比較難,要全部聽出來有一定難度。但無論如何有兩點要避免,1. 把句子寫成一個個單詞,把沒聽見的地方位置空出來。這個是絕對不可取的,老師看都不用看肯定扣分。因為這都不是句子嘛!
2. 把句子的內容不斷的涂改,搞的卷面非常難看。這個首先給老師的印象就很惡劣,然后如果有一點點錯誤本來可以扣0.5分,1分什么的,這下就說不定全部扣光了
所以不管對錯都要把句子寫成貌似像一個句子,要整潔不要涂涂改改,最好還沒有語法錯誤。一般可以有四種做法:
1. 逐字逐句聽寫(適合比較簡單的句子或比較牛的同學)2. 聽懂之后寫句子大意,無語法錯誤(適合于比較長的句子)
比較常用的方法是判斷這句話表達的是正面的意思還是反面的意思,正面的意思嘗試用 it is good / important 之類的句子改寫 反面的意思嘗試用 it is bad / harmful 之類的句子改寫
3. 前后隨便抄一句(反正空著也是空著,就隨便寫一句咯。:P 因為閱卷老師只有答案沒有考卷的啦。對是肯定不對的但總比空著強)
4. 呵呵,連隨便抄抄這種方法也講了,還剩下什么呢?這個我就不說了,估計大多數人也是不會用地說 :)
反正做復合式聽寫不管聽得如何最重要的就是死也不能空著!因為閱卷老師一天要改幾百份卷子,空著太醒目了一看就是扣分,而且給老師的第一印象就是這個同學水平很差然后說不定就沒興趣看了。單詞實在不會拼,千萬不要空著,如有一兩個字母吃不準可以寫的花一點即像這個又像那個。如果完全不會拼就隨便按照發音規則拼一個貌似的單詞。句子么前面已經說過了一定要寫得貌似一個完整的句子。反正錯了是理所當然的因為本來就不對,沒什么好后悔,but(強轉折)萬一閱卷的老師眼神不好算你對了,那是就檢了便宜了啦。
最后說幾點注意事項
1. 切忌拿到考卷就去翻看作文題,因為那樣會打亂你正常的思路,或不知不覺開始構思或造成不必要的緊張,而這都勢必會嚴重影響你聽力的效果。作文最后
天上砍木材團隊
有專門整塊的時間可以構思和寫作,完全沒有必要這樣迫不及待。
2. 拿到考卷后除了填準考證什么的就因馬上把思想集中在聽力部分,因為這是考試中唯一只有一次機會的題目。機不可失,失不再來。
3. 預讀選項應該從最后一篇文章往前讀,因為section b 的 direction 很較短且選項難度也較大,所以很可能會來不及讀的。所以尤其是后兩篇文章的選項一定要先讀,第一篇實在來不及還可以在direction時讀。但在預讀選項時,耳朵一定要注意聽 當聽到section a 的 direction 讀到中間有個―therefore‖這個單詞時(這個單詞在那個例子講完后一點),無論看到哪里都馬上停下來回到section a 讀第一題的四個選項。因為―therefore‖這個單詞到第一題開始正好是10秒,而后面每一題的間隔也正好是10秒。大家一定要讓自己適應在10秒內讀完四個選項,要知道如果來不及的話也就意味著后面的題目你統統都來不及,因為后面的10秒還要去除答前面一題的時間呢。
4. 答題的時間一般最長不要超過4秒至少要留6秒時間給下一道題的預讀。前6秒答題,后8秒預讀下一題選項。超過4秒還選不出答案的要么就隨便選,要么就記下點什么待會再選。而且事實證明在4秒鐘之內不能選出答案的,就算選了錯誤的幾率也是非常大的。所以千萬不要拼命狂想,否則后面的就是多米諾骨牌式的效應了。
5. 考前注意休息,營養均衡,早餐定時定量。
6. 強烈建議考試當天早上不要看什么單詞書,也不要聽什么聽力,也不要背什么作文。因為對于絕大多數的同學而言,到了這時候再看這些已經不會有什么太大的作用反而只會莫名其妙的增加自己緊張和不安的情緒,而這對于考試絕對是不利的。
7. 對于少部分考試慢熱型但心理素質又很好的同學早上也可以隨便拿一套聽得很熟得真題來聽聽,但就算要聽也一定要聽平時聽得滾瓜爛熟的千萬不要找陌生的來聽。(不太推薦)這不是我說的。
8. 古人云,不戰而屈人之兵,很大程度上取決于心理因素。所以不要給自己任何負面的心理暗示,早上起來大聲地告訴自己我這次一定可以過的,我很強的。然后可以聽一些輕音樂之類的舒緩自己緊張的情緒。

[原創]四級聽力之——如何備戰四級聽力
天上砍木材團隊
如何備戰四級聽力(國內部徐星海)引子
如何有效備戰四級聽力?如何在短時間內大幅提高自身水平?隨著十二月份的四級考試的臨近,越來越多的考生面臨著這樣的一個尷尬局面:有時間的時候,忽視了日積月累的復習;而意識到復習的重要性的時候,時間又非常緊迫了。古人云,―不戰而屈人之兵‖,意思就是在打仗之前,就已經通過各種各樣的非戰爭因素贏得了戰爭,勝敗已見分曉。同樣的,我們四級的考生也一定要贏在起跑線上:建立起正確的迎考態度,按照正確的復習方法和節奏,有條不紊地進行系統的復習工作。心理準備
首先我們必須明確:冰凍三尺,非一日之寒;英語學習是一個長期積累的過程,短期的突擊無異于舍本逐末、杯水車薪。然而,這并不意味著我們不能夠通過掌握考試規律來調整我們的臨考狀態、提高我們的應考能力。本文目的就是與廣大考生共同分享如何利用應試規律、最大限度地發揮同學們的四級聽力水平的。當然,我們還是需要反復強調:英語水平是不可能在短時間內有實質性飛躍的,盡管,考生的應試水平可以通過科學的方法有效地提高。
想要在四級考場中最大程度發揮潛能、取得完勝,考生首先要在心理上取得優勢。不僅是對于初次考級的新考生,對于老考生來說,四級的成敗很大程度上取決于心理因素。心理上,我們必須戒驕戒躁,排除任何雜念,越是臨近考試,就越是要冷靜執著,堅韌不拔。考生的心中只需要有一個信念:兩個月,我只要兩個月復習四級就綽綽有余了,我一定能夠畢其功于一役!
同時,我們必須有這樣的心理準備:隨著四、六級考試改革的深入,會有更多,更新,更難的題目,包括聽力題目和題型出現。有了這樣的思想準備,一旦出現某種沒有預料到的題型,或者是某些罕見的知識點,就反而迎合了我們打硬仗的心理準備。我們就能夠真正地在戰略上輕視四級考試,在戰術上重視四級考試。表現出我不入地獄、誰入地獄的氣概。
當然,我們花了大量的時間和精力來復習英語、準備考試肯定不是為收集準考證而來的。所以,一旦在考場中出現一些意想不到的意外情況,我們能夠、也必須有處驚不變的能力,及時調整考試心態、從容不迫地應答。須知,四級考試是標準化考試,對于每個考生而言,都是公平的。事實上,歷史經驗證明:題目要求越是高,難度越是大,考生的發揮余地也就越大。挑戰和機遇是正相關的。實戰準備
毫無疑問,一個考生的應試水平,其實,也是基于一定的英語基礎之上的。所謂弱不受補,任何的技巧和方法都或多或少地需要對于英語有比較基本而扎實的掌握。所以,想要盡快提高自己的應試水平,首先就是要盡快提高自己的英語水平。當然,既然考生的目標非常明確、而且只有一個:四級,那么就應該把有限的時間和精力投入到無限的為四級而準備的工作中去。雖然,同樣是測試一個考生的英語語言運用能力,但是國外有雅思考試、托福考試,國內有專業四、八級,大學四、六級等等,她們的考試目的,手段,和評價體系都不盡相同。由此可見,復習四級的最好方法,不過六個字:真題!真題!真題!!可以說,真題的重要性在任何考試中都到了無可復加的地步。只有真題才能夠體現出考試的所有特點,四級考試當然也不例外。達成了這個共識,我們就需要解決另外一個問題:如何有效地利用有限的真題。
據統計,保留完整的四級真題不超過三十套,所以,真題的資源是非常有限,甚
天上砍木材團隊
至是稀缺的。所以,做真題,不僅僅是一個做題的過程,而且是一個做精做透,精益求精,不斷提高的過程。那么怎么樣才能在聽真題的時候達到以上的要求呢?根據聽真題的不同層次,基本上,可以把聽題分為以下五個階段: 1. 初聽
眾所周知,聽真題時的第一感覺是無法取代的。第一次聽題,是對考生聽力的一次全新考驗,所以,大部分考生也非常重視測分。但是由于太重視分數,往往剛聽完一個部分就開始對答案,甚至每聽一題就對一題的答案。應該說,這樣的做法首先干擾了正常的做題程序,而且使考生養成依賴答案的習慣,最后也很難達到預期的做題效果,畢竟,在考場里,考生聽題必須一氣呵成,在整整二十分鐘時間里,根本沒有機會休息,更不用說對答案了。所以,第一次聽題,最好能夠模擬考場的情況,制造考場的氣氛,甚至對自己施加一些臨考的壓力,這樣才能夠達到理想的聽題效果。即使是有個別題目不確定或者沒有聽清,也必須強迫自己至少在整套真題聽完以后再對答案(而不是對照原文),然后再著手尋找問題。2. 聽寫
在第一遍聽題結束以后,考生往往會碰到以下兩種情況:一.發覺有些自己猶豫不決的題目猜對了;二.發覺有些猶豫不決的題目改錯了。對于這兩種情況,考生必須有一個清醒的認識:其實這些題目就像比賽中的機會球一樣,做對與否幾乎完全取決于運氣。所有,無論對錯,都應該引起考生的高度重視。另外兩種容易被忽略的現象是:一.考生可以在第一次就把握住題目的大意,因此可以比較輕松地把題目答對;二.考生無論如何努力地試圖去聽也無法把原文中的信息通過聽力的手段解構。對于第一種現象,考生必須防止一知半解(只知其一,不知其二),或者是自欺欺人(以為自己完全懂了,其實有些地方根本就沒有聽到,沒有聽出來,或者是沒有聽懂)。而對于第二種現象,有些考生往往就急于求成,在第一時間就翻開原文進行對比研究。這些情況,都是廣大考生必須避免的。剛才已經說過,真題的資源是非常稀缺的,因此,在初聽之后,考生需要開始一個漫長的細嚼慢咽的消化過程。這個過程,就是做聽寫練習,不厭其煩地對自己所做的每一道真題進行聽寫練習,無論對錯。這樣一來,本來沒有暴露出來的問題自然而然也就暴露出來了,本來已經暴露出來的問題則被具體化地落實到了詞、詞組、和短語等語言基本單位上。如此一來,清者自清、濁者自濁,考生可以從一個非常客觀的角度全面審視自己現有的聽力水平。3. 整理
當找到自身存在的隱含或者是具體的問題之后,考生就可以開始歸納整理自己在聽寫中所反映出來的問題了。一般,每個考生的情況不同,因此問題也因人而異。不過有一點可以肯定,如果是小對話題,那么問題基本上可以從單詞、詞組、口語表達方式、場景及其相關語境詞、句型結構、時態、語態語體、和語音語調等幾方面進行歸類;如果是語段題,那么問題基本上可以從詞組、句型結構、語段語篇結構、文章體裁、考點分布、和標志詞等幾方面來進行歸類;而如果是復合式聽寫,那么問題基本上可以從漏詞、錯詞、大小寫、時態語態、數、同音近音詞、細節把握、語言歸納整理能力、和句型結構的掌握等幾方面來進行歸類。通過比較系統地歸納和整理自身暴露出來的問題,考生可以比較一目了然地發覺自身的薄弱環節所在,因此也就有了對癥下藥的科學依據。而且,考生往往會發覺,由于聽力是一門綜合性的科目,所以,所謂聽力問題,大多數情況下,不僅僅是由于―聽力‖出了問題,而且還因為詞匯量限制、句型掌握不穩固、語法知識不系統、語言功能掌握不全面、語段語篇理解不透徹等等其它―非聽力‖因素而出現障礙。這
天上砍木材團隊
樣,就要求廣大考生能夠從自身具體情況出發,結合各種工具書,針對自己的薄弱環節各個擊破。4. 跟讀
通過以上方法,基本上,考生可以把詩外的功夫做到位,但是如果同學發現自己有些結構看到了就懂了,可是聽起來還是很吃力,那又應該怎么辦呢?理論上,這是由于考生的視覺和聽覺脫鉤的關系。也就是說,考生的對于真題的敏感性還沒有在聽覺這個層次上建立起來。如果說其它部分還可以蒙混過關,那么這對于聽力來說就是一個巨大的災難了。除了極個別題目可以通過選項特征進行判斷以外,其它聽不懂的題目一般情況下都會犧牲掉,畢竟,四級真題越來越成熟、越來越科學、越來越系統,真題中的迷惑項也隨之越來越難以辨別。既然問題是出在―聽覺‖上,那么最好的方式就是通過糾正語音來解決問題了。顯而易見,聽說本為一家,如果考生單純―聽力‖出現問題,那么一般―口語‖也不盡如人意,而考生如果口語水平不俗,那么一般聽力也不會差。須知,練習口語和提高聽力本身就是個辯證統一的關系,兩者緊密聯系、相輔相成。對于進入沖刺階段的考生來說,練習聽力,需要不急不徐、戒驕戒躁,既沒有時間,不能夠從最基本的音標或者是漫無目的地找口語材料進行練習,也不能夠急功近利,妄圖通過一兩次突擊就大功告成。實際上,只要有心,考生不難發現:完完整整、踏踏實實地對照聽力原文,跟讀真題聽力磁帶五至六遍以后,再回過頭來聽題,感覺就不可同日而語了。在跟讀的過程中,考生切忌貪多,一定要在他人、錄音機、復讀機、或者其它設備的幫助下糾正自己不良的吐字發音習慣,有條件的話,最好是親自對照自己的讀音和真題讀音之間的差別,這樣才能夠盡快突破語音關,為聽力考試打通最后一道關。如果時間允許,考生還需要重點跟讀自己在聽寫練習中暴露出的問題單詞、問題句型、或者問題語段結構,在糾正語音的過程中,強化自己的復習成果。5. 背誦
最后的一個階段,也是最高境界,就是能夠對真題了如指掌,做到繪聲繪色、惟妙惟肖地模仿,甚至是倒背如流。我們很多教授聽力的老師,通過長期的教學實踐,已經達到了這個層次,從而對于真題才有不同凡響的見解和分析。不難看出,對于真題越是熟悉的人,無論是考生還是老師,都能夠很好地把握聽題節奏、做題方法、猜題技巧、從而達到―猛、準、狠‖的最高境界。我們在課上講授的絕大多數技巧、場景、原則、關鍵詞、特殊句型、甚至是答題的感覺都是以大量背誦作為基礎的。一般地說,一個考生只要能夠達到背誦考點的水平(與全文背誦相比較還是相對容易的),就可以輕松應付四級聽力考試了。畢竟,四級聽力考試所能夠測試的知識點和考點范圍有限,考生一旦能夠對所有測試點如數家珍,那么考試本身已經不成為問題了,因為,這時候的考生已經突破了應付考試的層次,真正達到了提升英語水平的階段了。這聽起來似乎遙不可及,其實不然。考生在有一定語感的基礎上,通過可以誦讀五、六遍就已經能夠對測試點有一個基本印象了,然后根據艾賓浩斯的記憶曲線,連續記憶三天就可以過關了。到時候,考生再回首看自己曾經做過的卷子、錯過的題,不禁會扼腕痛惜:這種程度的題目我也會做錯? 其它準備
在了解了聽真題的各個階段以后,考生還需要把握復習的節奏。一般,由于四級聽力資源的匱乏,考生如果在考試前有充裕的時間復習,那么應該在保證質量的前提下完成復習任務。每個星期的做題量應該控制在一至兩套之間,力求聽一套、天上砍木材團隊
記一套、看一套、讀一套、背一套,套套入心。直到考試前一個月才開始真正發力,使自己漸漸進入臨考狀態,一般以一天一套為宜。如果考生發現自己在聽力的A部分或者B部分的后半段明顯答題正確率下降,那么就表明:考生在體力方面的準備仍然不充分。那么,考生應該結合自身情況在保證休息的前提下,適當加大聽題力度,進行超負荷訓練,提高自己考試聽力的耐力水平。
然后,我們需要一個切實可行的詳細到每一天的復習計劃。雖然每個考生的情況不同,本身水平,備考時間,心理期待都有所差異,但是,有一點是共同的:在最后的兩個月里,挑戰極限、追求卓越,即使是面對絕望,也要在絕望中尋找希望!
其次,也是更為重要的一點,就是要步步為營、一步一個腳印地合理安排備考時間,實施這個計劃。一般情況下,我們認為,一天24小時中,有6個小時是英語考級聽力的黃金復習時間。這6個小時分別在早8點到10點,中午12點到14點,晚上20點到22點。
一日之際在于晨,擁有清晨日出的人,就擁有一天的陽光。在早晨寶貴的時間里,由于沒有前攝抑制,我們記憶能力將達到的高峰時期。而且,作為四級考試的第一部分,聽力恰在9點至10點的時間進行答題。在早晨的時間段進行考級聽力練習可以達到記憶和調整生物鐘的雙重功效,可謂事半功倍。
而中午則是大多數同學休息的時候,這段時間里,我們的注意力很難集中。如果在這段時間里進行考級聽力練習,其實是對一個考生體力的考驗。當然,我們不提倡通宵達旦的題海戰術,只是要求廣大考生做好打疲勞戰的準備。因為考試時由于心理緊張,會加速人體的疲勞,所以,我們必須強迫自己適應在最艱苦的條件下連續作戰。然而,考前的休息也異常重要,所以,我們就犧牲中午休息的時間,做一些高強度的訓練。
到了晚上則更不待言,很多考生的大部分復習時間就是在晚上白白流逝的。其實晚上的時間沒有后攝抑制,也是人的記憶高峰。與其進行其它的娛樂休閑活動,或者背單詞背到走神,不如強迫自己反復聆聽四級真題、做聽寫練習,使自己對各種題型、各種考點了如指掌、倒背如流。
其實,在考試迫在眉睫的時候,同學們往往容易進入一種混亂的臨考狀態。這種狀態比較突出的表現是日夜顛倒,該休息的時候睡不著、夜不能寐,可是一拿起書就昏昏欲睡、欲罷不能。尤其是在專業課和全國四、六級考試紛至沓來的時候,很多同學更是發揚連續作戰的精神,通宵達旦,頭懸樑、錐刺骨,結果影響了正常的作息,反而使自己陷于被動,很難正常發揮。這對于像四、六級考試這樣的高強度考試而言是有百害而無一益的。道理很簡單,四、六級考試對于一個學生來說,不僅是一次英語水平的綜合測試,也是一種意志力、甚至是體力的考驗。沒有良好的休息作為后盾,考生很難笑到最后。所以,保證充足的睡眠是最基本也是首要的應試技巧。
尤其是在考試最后一天,沒有充足的睡眠,考生在考場里很容易出現幻聽、重聽等現象,嚴重影響聽力考試的技戰術水平發揮。須知,聽力考試是四級考試中唯一的只有一次答題機會的題型,錯過任何一個字都不可能重來。而遺失任何一個考點就等于把考生推上絕路,不僅對本題解答會產生不良影響,更可能引起心理暗示的連鎖反應,打亂考生考試節奏,引發多米諾股牌效應,從而棋錯一招、滿盤皆輸。
最后,營養的攝入在最后關頭也是異常重要的一環。在保證充分睡眠的同時,食物是另一個―工夫在詩外‖的非考試因素。尤其是參加四級考試的同學,早餐一定要
天上砍木材團隊
定時定量,不可或缺。一般來說,類似奶酪酥這樣的奶制品外加一杯熱牛奶或者熱巧克力已經足以提供整個半天考試所需的熱量。當然,這也因人而異。對于內火較旺的同學來說,紅棗蓮心湯就是更好的選擇了。有些體質虛弱的同學也可以考慮服用一些如西洋參、雞精、保健飲料這樣的營養品。不過,安眠藥或者興奮劑等有副作用的藥物一定要慎用,否則過猶不及。總結
我們說在兩個月內完成四級的考級任務并不僅僅是空洞的技巧和捷徑,因為任何的技巧都需要一定的積累作為基礎,而任何的捷徑只是一條比較近的路而已,都是由人走出來的。所以,我們一方面需要放松心態、輕裝上陣;另一方面又需要腳踏實地、苦干加巧干。
在具體的復習過程中,我們首先應該對自己有一個基本的認識,也就是說,要了解自己的水平怎么樣。當然,如果至今都沒有完整地做過任何一套四級真題的同學是不知道自己的水平以大學英語四級的標準來衡量到底達到什么程度的。所以,從這兩個月里的第1天起,我們就必須開始做題。每天只需要做一至兩套,但是務必做精做透。
這樣做,唯一的好處就在于通過試著完整地做歷年四級真題,考生就能夠找出自己在四級標準下的薄弱環節。找到了這樣的薄弱環節,就可以進行有針對性的強化練習,填補自己在知識結構上的漏洞。由于聽力考試是一門綜合性的考試,考察的不僅是學生的聽能,更是學生在詞匯,閱讀,歸納分析等等方面的綜合能力,所以,在聽力上有問題的同學,往往問題不僅僅在聽能上,他其它部分的答題通常也是差強人意的。但是如果我們能夠通過聽力找到自己在整個英語體系中體現出來的問題,不管是發音、詞匯、語法、還是閱讀能力,那么就可以達到一箭雙雕的效果了。
當然,四級考級復習是一個龐大而系統的過程。在這個過程中還要注意的一個要點就是要將任務大而化小,小而化了。反復練習考試聽力時,不要以整套真題、整個部分、或者整個語段為單位,而是應該以最小的單位進行反復的復習。小對話題至少劃分到每一題,語段題至少劃分到每一段,而聽寫題則最好劃分到每一句。這樣不僅使需要解決的問題變得很明確,而且容易使考生在復習過程中有掌握一個新的知識點或者考點的成就感。
具體的復習過程中,考生要不忘加強基礎的訓練。把聽力原文中有限的生詞、詞組、語法現象(如常考的虛擬語氣,省略,重要時態等)、句型(如建議類句型,附和句型與否定句型等)以及場景都盡可能詳盡地掌握。如果連看著原文都不能夠弄懂,那么要把原文聽懂就更加無法想象了。雖然,自然狀態下,人們學習語言是由聽力首先入手的,但是作為第二語習得,我們對學習英語大多從閱讀開始的,所以如果連閱讀也不能夠達到四級聽力的要求,提高聽力水平只能夠是空中樓閣、空談而已。因此,正確的順序應該是首先利用聽力材料練習聽力,在無法聽懂的情況下對照原文,如果還是不懂,那么就參考譯文。接下來,在書面認知的基礎上,再循環地進行聽力練習。基礎不牢、地動山搖,沒有扎實的英語功底是絕對不會有聽力這個上層建筑的。空著手上戰場,只會在痛苦中被消滅的!具體的復習過程中,考生還要克服語音障礙,在實踐中加強對單詞的語音敏感度的練習。大多數考生記憶單詞過程實際上是手眼并用的過程,往往容易忽略對于耳朵的刺激。所以,很多考生反映當看到時覺得異常簡單非常親切,可是聽到時就完全不同了。是的,僅憑視覺和觸覺記憶,而沒有足夠的語音信息的輸入,加上對不同的語音系統準備不足,會輕而易舉地導致熟悉的單詞一旦從磁帶中放出
天上砍木材團隊
來就完全是判若兩詞的感覺。現在,如果考生再去購買配備磁帶的詞匯書,跟讀、做聽寫固然有效,可是效果非常有限,原因就在于你已經沒有時間再單獨地進行語音輸入練習了。目前,唯一可行的方法就是反復聽真題。這樣一來,既能夠在有限的時間里克服語音輸入的障礙,又能夠熟悉四級考題,可謂一舉兩得。當然,在聽音的過程中還必須注意英美音的發音現象。剛才說過,四級是一個混合的語音系統,這就要求所有考生對于不同發音有很快的反應,迅速在兩種語音之間自由切換。接下來,我們還需要注意兩種比較常考的語音現象:連讀和失爆。當然,特殊的語音現象絕對不止兩種,可是就像馬泰效應所提出的―貧者愈貧、富者愈富‖的理論一樣,考過的語音現象總是一而再、再而三地成為考點。僅以連讀為例,full up /ful`(p/,office hours /%fi`sau*s/這樣的連讀已經在四級考卷中屢見不鮮,成為必考的知識點。
具體的復習過程中,考生也需要擴大自己的閱讀面。綜上所述,今年來的語段和聽寫題頻繁涉及一些自然科學技術的發展以及社會科學中的話題。無論是環境保護、自然生物知識、英美國家人文知識、大學機構介紹、特色服務、還是社會問題等內容都能夠在四級聽力的試題中有所體現。這樣,就要求廣大考生對于社會生活的方方面面有一些基本的關注和了解,這種平時的積累有助于迅速熟悉甚至預測聽力語段的主題和走向,幫助考生輕松理解原文,根據自己日積月累的常識,對于某些常識題進行預先的判斷。這對于考生臨場發揮、提高解題自信心相當有幫助。
魯迅先生說過,世界上本沒有路,走的人多了也就成了路。我們要善于在學習實踐中發現、總結和運用規律,這樣才能夠在復習迎考的過程中事半功倍,百尺竿頭、更進一步。路漫漫其修遠兮,愿以此文拋磚引玉。

歌曲 Sealed with a kiss
Though we're gonna say goodbye for the summer
darling I promise you this
I'll send you all my love everyday in a letter sealed with kiss
Cause it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness I'll send you all my love
Everyday in a letter sealed with a kiss
I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won't be there
I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss sealed with a kiss

Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered ?round her
Miner?s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

11.A)They often take place in her major industries.B)British trade unions are more powerful.C)There are more trade union members in Britain.D)Britain loses more working days through strikes every year.12.A)Such strikes are against the British law.B)Such strikes are unpredictable.C)Such strikes involve workers from different trades.D)Such strikes occur frequently these days.13.A)Trade unions in Britain are becoming more popular.B)Most strikes in Britain are against the British law.C)Unofficial strikes in Britain are easier to deal with now.D)Employer-worker relations in Britain have become tenser.Strikes are very common in Britain.They are extremely harmful to its industries.In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain.The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries.There are over 495 unions in Britain.Some unions are very small.Over 20 have more than 100, 000 members.Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages.They also educate their members.They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions.Trade unioners say that we must thank the unions for the great
improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years.It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union.This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently.Employers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted.However, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law.As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.In what way are strikes in Britain different from those in other European countries?(開頭)
12.Why are British employers so afraid of unofficial strikes?(most, because)
13.What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?(結尾As a result)

15.A)How to handle spiders.B)Spiders in the United States.C)People' s fear of spiders.D)A special kind of spider.16.A)Most spiders will not bite even when handled.B)Most spiders are poisonous and dangerous.C)Most spiders are likely to attack people.D)Most spiders have sharp eyes.17.A)Because she cannot find a husband for herself.B)Because the female spider is larger than the male one.37 C)Because the female spider often eats her husband.D)Because she is a black female spider.You should not fear spiders because of their poison.Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled.They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk.Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack.Actually, it cannot see the person in its way.The spider is too short-sighted to see things at a distance.It only wants to go where it will not be disturbed.In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest.It is the Black Widow.So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love.The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west.She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of rowans or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed.She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands.When she bites, it is usually in self-defence.In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal.But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected.Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.15.What is this passage mainly about?
16.What do we learn about spiders from the passage?(only, most)
17.Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow?(because)

11.A)The color of the dog.43
B)The price of the dog.C)Whether the dog will fit the environment.D)Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.12.A)It must be trained so it won't bite.B)It needs more love and care.C)It demands more food and space.D)It must be looked after carefully.13.A)They are less likely to run away.B)It's easier for their masters to train them.C)They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D)It's easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives.If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog.But in part, the decision depends on common sense.Most breeds were originally developed to perform specific tasks.So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics.You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the country and can let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets.Whereas cats identify with the house and so are content if their place there is secure, a dog identifies with its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby-dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master.If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their stronger relationship will always be with dogs.They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.What' s mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?
12.Why does the speaker say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?
13.Why is it advised to buy baby dogs under three months old?

Probably you cannot answer that question quickly.In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year.Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year.Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other
countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China.In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400.The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant.Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years.Parchment was very strong;it was made from the skin of certain young animals.We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17.Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper?
18.When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely?
19.Which of the following countries uses most paper for each person a year?
20.What is the main idea of this short talk?
