新東方老師談BEC聽力復習的誤區
BEC即劍橋商務英語證書考試,是劍橋大學考試委員會(UCLES)設立的。很多人誤認為BEC考試針對是那些學與商務有關的專業人員的,其實不然。因為無論你學的專業是什么,都要在某個特定的商務環境中運用,BEC考查的正是這種普遍存在的商務環境中應具備的通識與能力。劍橋大學考試委員會設立BEC考試的目的是在全球范圍內建立一個測試商界雇員英語水平的統一標準,使BEC證書被跨國公司和非英語國家的大公司用作商務英語測試標準,以評估在真實商務環境下雇員的英語水平,使人力資源部門能準確評估雇員商務英語的運用技能。因此,與我國的四、六級考試相比較,BEC考試更側重對英語實際運用能力的考查。換句話說,BEC中的考查內容都是可以馬上拿到實際工作中去的,不會出現所謂高分低能現象。
BEC2(VANTAGE)考試設計在指導思想上把聽力放到了相當重要的位置。從BEC2各部分所占比例來看,閱讀部分答題數為45,聽力部分答題數為30,兩者相比3:2,這在各類英語水平考試中所占比例而言其比重之大是少有的。另外,BEC2聽力部分題型設計的指導思想為考查考生理解在不同場合中,特別是各種環境中使用的英語口語的能力,尤其是提取其中重要住處和了解、歸納所聽內容大意的能力。這些都是實際商務活動中所必需的技能。
能否在BEC2考試聽力部分取得較高的分數,取決于三個方面:(1)是否具有良好的英語聽力;(2)對商務及相關行業的基本知識及詞匯是否熟悉;(3)對BEC2考試聽力部分的題型及其特點是否了解。良好的英語聽力是最基本的,很多人在訓練聽力時不得法,只是一味地反復聽,提高很慢。殊不知影響聽力的因素很多,比如說音變現象。多數學習者朗讀英語的習慣是把每個字發得過于清晰,而聽力材料中的NATIVE SPEAKER則有很多連讀,失音以及縮讀等現象,由于發音習慣不同,因此不適應,即使聽幾遍也不知所云。所以要想從實質上提高聽力,應該首先改善自己的朗讀和發音習慣。
聽力中還有一個誤區,那就是聽者試圖一個字一個字去聽,其結果往往是什么都沒聽著。其實正確有效的方式應該是聽語調,也就是每個句子中的重讀詞,因為被讀得重的詞往往是說話者要傳達給聽者的重點信息。這樣不但可以迅速地抓住所聽內容的大意,并且能節省大量的精力和時間。這一技巧對BEC2聽力的第二部分尤為重要。BEC2考試的內容適用于中層商務人員的工作范圍。中層商務人員需要有很強的對大量信息做出快速識別、反應的能力。在與各色人等打交道的時候,能否從他們的三言兩語中迅速判斷他們的職業或他們所在公司的業務,從而提高工作的效率和質量。
對商務及相關行業的基本知識及詞匯是否熟悉也是在BEC聽力考試中取得高分的重要因素。與普通英語有所不同,商務場合中的用語一般都有比較正式,單詞的含意也與普通生活詞匯不同,如ORDER一詞,在日常生活中表示“命令”,而在商務中則表示“訂貨”;又如日常生活中的“吃住”一詞在商務中有一個專用詞“ACCOMMODATION”,而不是“LIVING AND EATING”。如果對這些專用詞匯不熟悉,會大大影響聽力考試中的反應力,這也正是為什么很多過了四、六級的同學面對實際工作的英語束手無策的原因之一。通過準備BEC考試,可以系統地學習一些基本商務詞匯,了解常規的商務背景知識,從而為順利地走上工作崗位掃清障礙。
應對任何考試都必須熟悉其題型。BEC聽力考試有它不同于其他考試的地方,尤其是上面提到的第二部分。針對每個部分都有一些專門的小技巧,由于篇幅的限制,這里無法一一敘述。
總之,BEC是一項側重能力并且實用性較強的考試,它能真正實現英語的學以致用。因此,建議那些已通過四級并且希望畢業后在外企或合資企業就業的同學嘗試一下。

第三篇:新東方聽力筆記
新東方TOEFL2001.10月班筆記--(第一部分:聽力)
作者:joanphan網友提供
TOEFL復習筆記(第一部分:聽力)
TOEFL聽力主考思路
TOEFL聽力的主題:校園生活
TOEFL聽力不考的話題:politics religion campus violence(校園暴力)campus police(校園警察)human rights 等等unhappy的話題,TOEFL聽力永遠
考美國光明的一面。
如何提高聽力水平? 1. 語音問題 a)美語的發音
英 [α:] → 美 [?] glass [α:] →[?]
英 [o] → 美 [Λ] hot [o] → [Λ](美語的這個音界于[o]和[α:]之 間)美語r音的存在,只有在有字母r的時候才有 個別單詞的發音:
diverse E [dai’v :s]→ A [d ‘v :s],且有r的音 hostile E['hostail]→ A['hΛs] b)連讀,不爆破發音(失爆)連讀:元輔音在一起,連讀。run out of fit it in 失爆:爆破音:[b] [p] [t] [d] [g] 兩個爆破音在一起,前一個爆破音就要失爆。Blackboard → blac(k)board I wen(t)downtown yesterday.c)跟讀磁帶(跟讀一盤TOEFL聽力磁帶)d)語音語調 2. 詞匯問題: a)表達口語化:
1)I’ve got to lose weight.2)Have you got the time?/↑ Got the time?(幾點了?)3)Got time?(有空嗎?言下之意:我想請你吃飯)4)Care to come?(=Would you like to come?)=Wanna come?(wanna=want to gonna=be going to)5)I got the feeling.(=I think.)6)I’m under the imparession.(=I remember.)7)The book is fat.(這本書很厚)8)a must-(h)ave(必備的)a must-see
(必看的)a must-eat
(必吃的)a must-play(必玩的)
9)I missed the beauty of??(我曾錯過的??最美好的)b)詞意TOEFL化:
student government 學生會
student council / student association 學生會 make up 補課/補考
c)詞義多樣化 反應順序 考試頻率 fix 修理,做飯(fix dinner)
serve 上菜,服務(網球)發球
order 訂購,點菜,順序(in order / out of order)paper 論文,報紙,身份證件,文件(papers),紙 3. 聽力的思維:
a)對話場景化:聽信號詞/關鍵詞→定位場景→話題 b)場景規律化
hit the spot=out of this world 棒極了(形容?好吃)it was hardly worth the money(形容食物太貴太難吃)I was broke.沒錢了
save for the rainy days 存錢以備不時之需 open semame(哩語)?的開門磚,?的訣竅 c)思維學生化
TOEFL聽力選項原則(適用于PART A)
1. 迅速看選項,找出其中相同、相似、相關的東西,確定場景,預測內容。2. 排除不符合TOEFL思路的選項,排除不合邏輯、常識的選項,排除讀起來拗 口的選項。
3. 注意選項中的主謂及標志詞。Δ主語(題)做題法: 4個選項主語不一致的時候,只要找對與對話中的主語一致的,即為正確答案。Δ標志詞:如shuold表示“建議”,agree表示“同意”等等。4. 注意意思相反的兩個選項,正確選項必居其一。5. 注意相似的兩個選項 6. 注意有同義詞的選項。7. 注意有反義詞的選項。
8. 注意有同形異義詞的選項。如:A.go to the park B.park the car park在對話中的含義不一樣。
9. 注意數字及數字所修飾的名詞n.10.在小對話題中聽見什么不選什么。
TOEFL段落題題目特征: 對話2個,passage3個,一般一段4個問題。開頭一條,結尾一條,終結兩條。
開頭:TOPIC句題:開頭句型,開頭語氣和原詞,重復率高的詞:原詞的數/概念 的重復。
場景:who what where why 中段:細節題 結尾題
TOEFL段落題解題思路:
1. 確定段落的主題(找相同相似相關的東西)2. 反推段落的問題
如果兩個選項相似,正確答案必居其一
段落第一條是n./名詞性短語,則是TOPIC題
段落中間是n/名詞性短語,只要文中提到,就是正確答案。即:聽到什么選什 么。
TOEFL對話段落題的題型:
1. 所聽即所選(93、5、36)
2. 重復原則,重復多的就是答案(93、5、37)3. 強調原則,強調多的就是答案(93、5、38)4. 建議原則,有建議的就是考點。5.對話題結構特點:
開頭:打招呼后,信息作為開頭。結尾:最后一句。
TOEFL錯題原因:
慢熱(聽時不看)Part A 走神(延長時間)連錯(學會放棄)讀題(先緊后松)
老題重要題型: 中間帶but轉折題:
1. 語氣轉折: 90.1.33/96.12.A14 2. 表單詞多種含義 89.8.24/96.10.A2 對一般疑問句的回答: 1. 聽清第二句開頭的短結構 89、8、32 2. 間接回答一定表示反對 96、10、A12 3. 聽不懂沒關系(第二句長而繞),選一個否定答案就可以 96、8、30 4. 第一句語調特征:最后為升調 5. 第二句習語。
6. 把第一個的一般疑問句否定,就是答案。
虛擬語氣題:(非直接條件句)? 答案反著給 eg:93.5.15 a)4種基本構成 1)if only 2)I wish 3)If clause a)與現在相反:從句用過去式,主句用would do b)與過去相反:從句用過去完成式(had p.p)主句用would have done b)注意虛擬語氣的時態(虛擬語氣的時態要往前推一個時態)
If I had a computer, I would have the paper in time.→ I need a computer.√
I didn’t have a computer.X(時態錯)c)注意上下文的場景,注意虛擬愈氣與真實條件句的區別: If he is the boss,things will be different.(真實條件句)→He is a boss.√
He isn’t a boss.√ d)正確答案的標志:
1)虛擬語氣結構內部進行替換
quse: if only → ans: I wish 2)用否定直接表示實際情況(93、5、15)
3)表達一種無法實現的愿望,所以總是表達愿望不能實現的事情。regret pity bad? a)標志結構:if only
I might have done sth if? 90.1.A12/93.5.15 G)答案中陳述客觀事實做答 98.8.國內13/98.10.19
建議題型:
第二句的建議為考點 97、1、18/97、5、8 一般參考第二句的建議
1)Why don’t you ?? 建議 Why didn’t you?? 責備

時間副詞題:
1. 第二句出現的時間副詞是考點(具體/抽象的時間)90、10、26/98、5、27 2. 時間副詞的歸納及替換: 1)by and by do sth on short notice in next to no time in no time at all in two or three minutes in a/any moment minute

第四篇:最新新東方聽力筆記(精選)
最新新東方聽力筆記 概述:
一. 雅思聽力基本情況 可做任何標記。
分數段:12-18:4分 19-24:5分 25-30:6分 31-35:7分
36-38:8分 39-40:9分 根據難易要乘系數 二.兩個誤區
聽懂核心詞匯,掌握拼寫。
極少考理解,多考記錄信息點,所聽即所得。三. 兩個基本范圍
1. survival english(社會生活,人際交往等)2. academic english(學術類,教育類,熱點話題)四. 問題
1. 利用停頓時間搶讀后面題目 2. 直接書寫答案
3. 區分考試安排者聲音,根據指導做題 4. 手眼耳并用,聽看寫一體 五. 雅思聽力四大特點
1.國際口音:(英、美、澳)(英音50%,澳20%,美20%,其他10%)不利:習慣美音,不習慣英音,必須熟悉英音;
有利:新口音(大西洋口音,適于中國人);動詞短語不是考試重點(掌握一般程度:第一個意思即可),去掉了很多地域性的方言。
2.四段敘述:
1、3section是對話,2、4section是陳述,一般來說難度遞增。
不利:a.不知道聽力磁帶和題目間如何建立關系——采用順序原則(85%):答案順序和問題順序一致。b.無法集中注意力(聽力中不包含問題,無法對大腦產生刺激)——改變聽力學習習慣,練習時應聚精會神,忌跑神和恐慌。
有利:不是每句話都要聽懂,應試圖聽懂每一句包含答案的句子(先看題,再猜答案,然后做題)3.邊聽邊做:
不利:a.閱讀量大——要求快速閱讀(技巧+能力)——速讀 b.寫量大——要求手眼耳并用(加強聽寫能力,掌握四級單詞聽寫)有利:a.不考推理、總結、歸納題,主要考查細節,所聽即所得。4.題型多樣:10種題型 不利:不熟悉題型 有利:難度較低
六、聽力應試策略
短期目標:1.緊扣9套題,十種題型,十種場景。
2.記補充的單詞和地名。四級詞匯(大學英語四級速聽速記)。
3.精聽六盤磁帶。中期目標:1.短期任務。
2.再做一點題。聽力強化最新指南,雅思聽力課外強化教程,英語中級聽力(關于hotel/restaurant,news不聽)。
3.背單詞。
長期目標:1.加強發音以及聽音的訓練。
2.再做一些題目。
3.精聽英語中級聽力。
七、聽力學習方法
錯誤:一心多用,太過放松;邊聽錄音邊看原文;聽太難的材料;
正確:1.專心致志
2.復讀 3.聽寫
八、正確的做題思路:分析題目,有的放聽;抓住細節。有效高效讀完題目
九、基本要求: 背聽力單詞(聽力、地名),做到四會:聽說讀寫。重要場景聽10遍以上,最好背過。基本題型
一、地圖題(方位題,路線題)
1.看地圖,先抓圖例、指向標、說明文字、起始點(實質:從某一點走向另外一點,標志詞entrance gate、exit、door、where he’s speaking)
2.掃描圖中其他信息:街名、過道名、街區名、建筑物名 3.讀題
4.聽力開始后,按照聽力磁帶的敘述,用筆在圖中隨之畫出路線(路線題)5.圖中方向以說話人前進方向為左右,不能用自己的主觀視角 地圖題: 1.看例子
2.地圖中常識原則(成比例)
二、一般表格題:
1.看表格的標題、圖例、說明文字
2.掃描表格橫縱軸(先橫軸,再縱軸),從中獲取有用信息,重點掃描出題格 3.只看出題空格(上看下看左看右看)4.觀察題號排列,確定論述順序
(表格中如題號排列不規則,則100%符合順序原則)
*一般表格+多項選擇:
1.掃描橫縱軸。橫軸抓核心詞,縱軸抓內在順序。
2.做題時小心經典陷阱——給超過需要答案的組數——抓住核心詞 3.注意給的信息套數和答案配套,并注意補充選項 問:how + adj.,可用 very + adj.回答
三、判斷正誤并改錯
1.掃描題目要求,看正確情況下的表達方式,劃對勾還是true/yes/t/y(看好題目要求)2.只看出題的題干并劃出核心詞
3.注意舊信息和新信息的差別,舊信息指畫圈的詞,聽其前后有無否定詞(hardly、few、bare、little)。新信息是改錯的答案。
4.改錯的答案在形式上應與題干完全一致。5.重要在讀題階段,看到有效信息
四、問答題(和填空題是兩大種難題)
1.掃描問句中的疑問代詞/副詞,確定“問什么”。(多是特殊疑問句wh——不能用yes/no回答)2.why——抓because,since,as,for?? 3.劃出問句中的核心詞(建議劃圈)。
4.注意問答題出現在1、3section 和2、4section的區別 1、3section(對話)——試卷問題與磁帶中說話人的發問的是否一致 2、4section(陳述)——試卷問題與說話人反問、設問的是否一致 5.還原句子結構,變疑問句為陳述句
6.出現否定詞要劃下來;出現says 答案一定出現在某人說的話中; 問:how + adj.,可用 very + adj.回答
五、選擇題 ㈠單項選擇題
1.快速掃描題干,不看選項,畫出題干中核心詞
2.磁帶開始后,再掃描題干(核心詞),并依次掃描選項,比較四個選項之間的相同與不同(縱向掃描)3.所聽即所得原則 4.一些常見做題原則:
a.順序原則:磁帶上出現好幾個選項,最后一個提到的是正確答案 b.最近答案原則:選項中沒有和原文完全重合的,找離原文最近的選項 c.陌生詞原則:答案中有極陌生的詞,一般不予考慮 d.同質相斥原則
e.何時核對答案:每個section結尾有30秒,根據印象對沒有做出的選項做出判斷(10-15s),剩下時間看下一個section。聽力結束后,有10m抄寫答案,用4m, 其它時間推敲答案。f.一般不要檢查,如檢查只檢查是否符合常識 g.不要選擇太絕對性的判斷
㈡多項選擇題:(選項在5個以上)(常和表格合在一起出)
1.基本解題思路和單選一致,先掃描問題劃出核心詞(遇到生詞:a.猜測發音b.劃出作為核心詞)2.多選題會明確告知正確答案數量
3.注意答案寫法(一個空寫一個,唯一性)4.小心經典陷阱
六、填空題
㈠ 單句填空題(所給僅僅是一個句子,要求填空)1.看題:a.劃核心詞(否定形式要劃,一定重讀)b.劃空前后處
2. 聽題:a.注意核心詞或其同義詞的出現 b.抓住空前后處的出現。㈡ summary(總結填空題)
出題頻率高、密度大(遠高于一般的35~40s/題),難度大(聽到和看到不完全一致,考同義詞的轉換)1.只讀出題句子,并劃出核心詞和空前后。2.抓出現空格句子的基本結構。
3.聽寫時抓核心詞的同義詞的出現;句子結構的替換;若未聽到同義詞和同意句則抓反復出現的核心詞 4.可以適當割肉。
5.寫答案時,可以使用簡寫形式gym,dorm,fridge,u.s.,u.k,或開頭字母,補全在每個section結尾做。6.填空關鍵:能不能抓住句子的基本句型結構;能不能把聽到的信息記下來。(聽寫練習)
㈢ outline(提綱填空題)信息量比較大,但出題量不大(考驗閱讀水平)
1.第一遍讀題時,當作閱讀題來讀。尋找醒目處:標題,副標題,黑體字,斜體字,下劃線?? 2.第二遍只看出題句子,并劃出句子中核心詞和空前后 3.聽題:注意核心詞或其同義詞的出現;抓住空前后處的出現。4.其他同summary 經典陷阱——如果看到填空題左右有一個用英文字母表示的數字,則空中一定填阿拉伯數字 小技巧:單詞拼寫不會可嘗試到題目中去找
七、圖畫題:
1.先看問題,后看圖(帶著問題看圖)熟悉描述人物外表特征的詞 2.看圖看出差別來
八、搭配題(解決兩組概念的聯系)1.迅速瀏覽題目要求,看是否可以進行一一搭配
2.迅速瀏覽題干和選項,確定可能的搭配關系(如果題目和選項數目一致,則是一一搭配;選項少于題干,少一個則有一個選項用兩次,但每個選項都會用到;選項大于題干,則每個選項最多用一次,還有沒用到的選項。)
3.迅速瀏覽題目和選項,并劃出核心詞。
4.當聽力磁帶開始時,確定聽力磁帶是以題干順序還是以選項順序展開。如果磁帶以選項順序展開,眼睛來回掃描題干;如果以題干順序展開,眼睛掃描選項。5.實在聽不懂,則當閱讀題做。找題干和選項之間的同義關系。
九、個人信息表格:考察寫人名、地名、數字、專有名詞的能力
1.熟悉常考的項目寫法:姓名、性別、電話號碼、日期。注意數字和字母的混 合編碼(郵政編碼、車牌號)2.掃描題干,畫核心詞。3.注意信息修正和非直接信息
4.分辨十幾和幾十:抓最后的音,確定不了猜幾十
十、圖例題
1.掃描題目要求,確定圖例性質,看圖中有無暗示說話人說話順序的圖例 2.迅速掃描圖形掃描圖中說明性信息,并特別關注圖形中的特殊符號 3.圖例題符合順序原則,所填內容具有相同性質 4.抓依次出現的專有名詞,或一些并列的動詞短語
十一、其他: 次序混亂 : 1.常出現在表格題和搭配題中(summary,問答題,選擇題一般不會出現)2.看次序混亂是否發生,主要看example的位置——一般在后邊做題信息前出現 3.如果次序混亂出現,順序原則失效。這時做題抓橫縱軸交叉點。
高級解題思路:試圖理解說話人的說話邏輯、內在邏輯
數字計算題:
1、最好的方法是寫出演算過程
2、如聽了一堆數字則最后一個為答案
3、男女同學爭執不下時,聽女同學的 推理歸納題:(少見,較難)
1、聽完磁帶后憑整體印象猜
2、割肉
3、回頭運用技巧做題 常考場景
1、租房場景(首先辨別是租房還是買房。租房的規律為:離市中心越近,房價越高,位置稍偏,價錢會比較有吸引力,但便宜的房子一般有不理想的地方;另外電話詢問看房子時:意為配備家具。)
2、課外研究場景.(主要是在課外研究一些小的項目,小的調查研究,包括對學校里各個地方,食品(咖啡、小吃)等價格的比較。對這些東西不可不屑一顧,這也是與文化背景有關,外國人注重從小培養人的實踐能力,看《成長的煩惱》中那個小男孩本,研究毛毛蟲那么用心就可理解了。這部分主要注意聽力,特別關注的是人名,并注意先判斷男女。)
3、圖書館場景考點為:使用須知、作品名稱、哪年出版、作者姓名、借出費用、幾時到期、欠款多少等。
4、地理場景(城市基本概況:name, population, climate, language, main industry, main attractions,advantage/disadvantage)一般是司機、導游
5、計算機房場景(計算機基本軟硬件術語,網絡術語)
6、選課場景course shopping(課程名稱、課程安排、對語言的選擇、選擇級別、選課的時間和日期以及申請人)
7、新生報到會orientation talk(一般向新生介紹學校的設施,選課情況,注意事項、學校的歷史,如何注冊,應該做什么,不應該做什么。)
8、度假場景(度假地的選擇、交通工具的選擇和住處的選擇,訂機票、房間(細節)
9、日程活動介紹場景(包括會議、節日、組織旅游等。要避免經典陷阱,即聽力原文出現的并不是所需要的答案。另外常考的是會議地點,一般是在國家的首都。)
10、個人健康場景如個人飲食計劃、營養專家做健康膳食設計等。
11、授課場景(教授開講座、學生做論文專題討論等。)把握頭尾
12、學生銀行服務
13、電話留言 you have reached + 電話號碼,please leave the message
optometrist 配鏡師 checkup 檢查
基本技巧訓練
一、數字 1.電話號碼
a.“0”表示方法,zero,nought, null, nil, nothing等,在ielts考試中“0”常念作“nought”;在電話號碼中 “0” 讀作字母”oh”,就像在單詞“go”中的發音。
b.讀電話號碼總的規則是:國家代號、地區代號和具體號碼分開來讀,比如中國北京的一個電話讀作86,10,87654321,對于一個特定地區的電話,一般來說只有7位或8位。7位的號碼,讀的時候前三位一組連在一起,后四位一組連在一起,中間有一個停頓,比如6254598讀作six two five,four five nine eight;8位的號碼,可以四個一組來讀。
c.兩個相同數字或三個相同的數字可以用double或triple來代替,比如2246555可以讀作double two four,six triple five。
d.末尾出現三個零,可以按“千”來發音,如9796000讀作nine seven nine six thousand e.數字加字母的組合,注意兩個o和w的區別 2.門牌號 以數量讀出
花園街197號——garden road one hundred and ninety seven 3.數量的分位計數
billion,million,thousand,看逗號并與之相應單位連接起來,用英文數法,先寫下逗號 4.分數
分子是基數,分母是序數 分子大于1時,分母加s 5.小數 小數點讀point 零點幾中的零可省略,直接讀point,0.25——point two five 6.百分比 percent,per cent,% 7.時間
a.具體日期(dmy或mdy)
建議:日子用阿拉伯數字,月份用縮寫:jan,feb, mar, apr, may, jun,jul,aug,sept,oct,nov,dec b.上下午
am/a.m./a.m., am---錯誤,下午類推 c.年代
90’s/’90s/90s’ d.世紀
21世紀:c21, 21th century 8.計量和貨幣單位 a.計量單位
長度:meter, kilometer, mile(英里),foot(英尺),inch(英寸)重量:gram(克),kilo,pound 容積:liter/litre(升),gallon(加侖)b.貨幣單位
美、澳、加:u.s.dollar, australian/aus dollar, canadian/can dollar 主幣:dollar,輔幣:cent 英:pound, peny(pl.penies,pency)日:japanese yuan 歐元:euro 9.字母(人名、地名的聽寫)c(see), f(ef), g, h(eitf), n(短en音),r[ ar)], s(es), z h/a, t/g, s/f, o/l, z/b, r/i, m/n 注:a.第一個字母大寫(capital),后面小寫(small),以小寫開頭會有特殊交代,有時有兩個大寫,如:mcdonald n.麥克唐納(男子名)
b.’s表示所有格,有的人名中本身包含’s,如奧尼爾,飄女主人公的姓 c.(‘apostrophe n.省略符號, 呼語)rummy’s is r-u-m-m-y apostrophe s.ninth第九 twelfth第十二 twentieth第二十 ninetieth第九十(one)hundredth第一百 21/2:two and one half;two and a half 42/3our and two-thirds 0.46% : point four six per cent 年份:1840 eighteen forty 1900 nineteen hundred 1992 nineteen ninety-two 全面歸納總結
一、雅思聽力基本解題思路:讀、猜、聽、寫、查 1.讀猜環節:搶時間讀題,預測,猜測答案的性質和類型 2.聽寫環節:邊聽邊寫
3.檢查環節:(1)每個section結束30秒應該抽出10—15秒檢查上個section:補全簡寫形式;憑印象猜測答案。
(2)聽力考試結束后,4分鐘把答案謄寫完畢,邊寫邊檢查拼寫、大小寫、單復數、語法。剩余六分種全面檢查,推敲答案。二、十種題型 分題型做,分場景聽
三、做題原則
1.順序原則(聽到多個可能是答案中,一般正確的是最后一個)2. 割肉原則:做題要有節奏感,碰到一題不會做放棄。
割肉技巧:時間、地點、人名、數字、專有名詞不能放棄;抓住兩邊,舍棄中間。想考高分不要輕易割肉。3. 常識原則:運用常識猜題 4. 積極原則:多猜積極少猜消極。
四、基本技巧
1. 語氣突變要注意(突升或突降)。
2. 雅思聽力中人名注意的問題:出現人名,立即判斷其性別 3. 題目中遇到生詞,必須猜測它的發音
4. 做完整個section后再回頭猜測不會的答案,并注意和周圍example保持一致。學會看例子,從中獲取有用信息。
五、常考內容:
1. 數字,人名,地名5——8題(雅思對人名的要求:掌握常見英文名的拼寫,可根據人名判斷性別)2. 常考語法點:a.現在完成時(推斷過去情況,解釋過去和現在關系),b.定語從句,c.指代關系
六、判卷
1.聽平時沒背過的的人名、地名,拼寫完全符合英語的發音規則,那么絕對算對 2. 考官一般以核心詞有否出現作為判斷正誤的標志
七、考試要注意的問題
1.不是要考九分,有的題目肯定不會做 2.我不會做,別人也不會做
3.每一個section都是一個嶄新的開始
4.一定要試好耳機,出現故障,不要自己動,請考官來換
