第三篇：英語四級考試聽力最后沖刺技巧

英語四級考試聽力最后沖刺技巧

對于中國的廣大高校學(xué)子來說，6月是個展望與不安并存的時刻，原因很簡單——英語四級(CET4)的考試迫在眉睫。

許多同學(xué)此前一直致力于“加法”的運(yùn)算：頻繁熬夜、拼命做題、習(xí)慣性焦慮、辛苦奔波于各類四級輔導(dǎo)班之間……其結(jié)果似乎都毫

無懸念地指向那個志在必得的未來。然而，并非所有的“加法”都能讓四級成功，有時太多的“加法”反而讓我們感到疲憊與困惑。

書是越讀越少的，讀完最精華、最經(jīng)典的著作，相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的其他一般書籍就不用再讀了。讀經(jīng)典之作時，腦子一定要清空，不要爭 論，不要質(zhì)疑，等讀到第二遍、第三遍時，再嘗試與作者對話和爭論。一個人讀書的時候，最好的狀態(tài)是假定自己是一張白紙。

我們就不妨為6月的英語四級聽力收尾復(fù)習(xí)做做“減法”，說不定會給我們帶來意外的驚喜——

熬夜時間減少一點，以保持白天充沛的精力；題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)少用一點，精選有代表性的經(jīng)典題型進(jìn)行歸納與總結(jié)；每天復(fù)習(xí)的詞匯少一點，對重點詞匯強(qiáng)化掌握；輔導(dǎo)班有選擇的報讀，不盲從于各路炒作宣傳……

用一種“少而精”的方式來代替“大而全”的復(fù)習(xí)體系—當(dāng)然，這種“減法復(fù)習(xí)”的時間成本也許會更高，但是對于最后沖刺四級的考生而言，“簡單主義”所造成的時間上的奢侈并不是浪費(fèi)，它標(biāo)榜的是平和的應(yīng)考心態(tài)，以及對更完善的知識架構(gòu)的追求。

6月是備戰(zhàn)復(fù)習(xí)的關(guān)鍵期，對于已順利完成對歷年真題系統(tǒng)歸納的考生來講，如何將前期的解題技巧和心得轉(zhuǎn)化成戰(zhàn)斗力，切實的提高

考試成績將是大家的重點問 題。尤其是進(jìn)行考試全真環(huán)境的反復(fù)模擬。很多同學(xué)在聽力練習(xí)前期都曾做到不同程度的提高，但是最后

總是臨場欠佳，抱憾而歸。究其原因就是大部分同學(xué)在練習(xí)時都選擇了無人的環(huán)境或者一天的晚些時候，因為條件安靜理想，很有利

于短期迅速提高聽力效率。然而無論是無人也好，晚間也罷，所有的努力只有在現(xiàn)實考試中 體現(xiàn)為分?jǐn)?shù)才是王道，所以建議大家將最

后沖刺期的聽力時間提到上午9點左右，做到與真實考試時間吻合。

毋庸置疑，一舉通過四級考試是一場耗人心智但又十分誘人的事情。但我們無須將所有的辛勞都?xì)w咎于考試，正所謂“一次良好的撤

退，應(yīng)和一次偉大的勝利一樣受到獎賞”，如果我們能靜下心來，做一做復(fù)習(xí)的“減法”，想一想自己還在復(fù)習(xí)中可以舍棄些什么，或許能讓我們的最后沖刺過得更快樂一些、輕松一點。

第四篇：大學(xué)英語四級聽力考試過程中注意事項

大學(xué)英語四級聽力考試過程中注意事項

1、首先要做好心理準(zhǔn)備。緊張不利于理解，只有放松情緒，聽覺器官才能對聲音信號作出敏感的反映，進(jìn)而提高思維理解能力。因此如果考前感到緊張，不妨做一下深呼吸或想些與考試無關(guān)的事情。這樣就很容易把精力集中起來，從而取得良好的聽力效果。

2、理解好題意，做到心中有數(shù)。剛發(fā)下試卷的時候，首先應(yīng)該把題中所問的問題大體瀏覽一遍，作到心中有數(shù)，這樣做的好處是：第一，可以判斷所聽內(nèi)容，第二，依據(jù)上下文有助于預(yù)測答案。這樣在聽錄音的時候，我們就可以不免緊張，可以有針對性的去聽，尋找有效信息。這是做聽力題的首要前提。如果在考試開始就過度緊張而忽視了題意，就會造成本應(yīng)該完成得非常好的題從手中錯過。降低做題效率。

3、搶用短文，預(yù)測聽寫內(nèi)容。聽寫的短文一般在100-200字左右，共重復(fù)三遍。考生可利用聽指令前的空隙，略看一下短文，做到“有的放矢”。去年6月份大學(xué)英語四級考試中的聽寫文章：考生掃一眼便會知道是一篇關(guān)于policeman和他們的job的事，這樣就不會措手不及，心慌意亂，影響正常水平的發(fā)揮了。

4、使用速記方法，從文中找出答案。一定要避免只顧記下聽寫的第一單詞，而后面的幾句后匆匆而過，來不及填寫第二個空的情況針。在考試中應(yīng)采用速記方法，迅速記下每個聽到的單詞。所說的速記就是用一些簡單的符號。縮寫、字母記下所聽到的內(nèi)容，不讓每個單詞漏網(wǎng)。

5、綜合多種技能和技巧來理解語篇尋求答案。(1)、閱讀技巧：應(yīng)用平行結(jié)構(gòu)預(yù)測所填內(nèi)容

(2)、寫作技巧：英文短篇的首句通常為topic sentence，注意此句的理解有助于聽出下文空缺。

(3)、Key word通過關(guān)鍵詞可預(yù)測答案

(4)、熟悉語法結(jié)構(gòu)、句式等有益于聽寫。

(5)、聽話聽音：speaker的語音、語詞、語氣等都是很好的暗示，要充分利用。

(6)、不同的文體有不同的特點和寫法，掌握這一點對聽寫大有裨益。

6、考前多練。有實力便有信心，如果再加上休息好，保證充足的睡眠，聽寫時更能發(fā)揮出色。

總之，聽力技巧的掌握以綜合英語水平為基礎(chǔ)，這涉及到掌握的詞匯量、詞匯的熟練程度，閱讀能力等考試的各個環(huán)節(jié)。我們只有在提高自己英語水平的各個方面的前提下才能更有效的提高聽力成績。相信只要大家多聽、多練，一定會在聽力、聽寫測試中取得滿意的成績，順利地通過大學(xué)英語四級考試。平時如何提高大學(xué)英語四級短文聽力？ 大學(xué)英語四級短文聽力并不可怕，考生只要宏觀把握，平時堅持“用心去聽”，肯定能夠從不同角度、不同層次提高自己的英語語言能力。但有四大聽力誤區(qū)必須提醒： 1.鴕鳥式聽法。

很多同學(xué)在做聽力題時沒有動手的習(xí)慣，聽就是聽，在做題時才努力回憶與該題有關(guān)的信息。甚至有同學(xué)喜歡閉著眼睛聽或者把頭低下來，伏在桌子上聽，并認(rèn)為這樣注意力更集中，但這樣往往容易走神，聽的效率非常低。2.多而不精。

對于已經(jīng)聽過的材料，很多同學(xué)都很少再聽，這是一個錯誤的觀念。片面追求練習(xí)的量，并不能有效提高做聽力題時的悟性，必須用心去感受才能收到顯著的效果。

3.不愿對著文字材料大聲朗讀，認(rèn)為聽力就是聽力，沒有必要和朗讀口語聯(lián)系起來。

其實聽力考的是口頭語言，口語提高了，聽力也就自然而然上去了。同時朗讀可以培養(yǎng)正確的語音語調(diào)，可以加強(qiáng)我們對文章的領(lǐng)悟力。

4.訓(xùn)練時間安排不得當(dāng)。聽力訓(xùn)練需要思想高度集中，故時間安排以每天精神最佳時候為宜。時間不宜過長，每次連續(xù)聽半小時到一小時就可。另外，由于聽力是一種習(xí)慣成自然的技巧訓(xùn)練，所以最好每天安排一段時間，切忌三天打魚，兩天曬網(wǎng)。

Step 1新四級聽力新聞的應(yīng)對策略（1）聽力考題大綱（2016年起已改革）

全國大學(xué)英語四、六級考試委員會自2016年6月考試起將對四、六級考試的聽力試題作局部調(diào)整。

四級聽力部分各項占比：短篇新聞7%，長對話8%，聽力篇章20%。

1）四級（Listening Conversations）：

共25題，包括短篇新聞，長對話和聽力篇章。均采用多項選擇題的形式進(jìn)行考核，均朗讀一遍。

短篇新聞：有3段，共7題，每題1分；分值占比7%。

長對話：有2篇，共8題，每題1分；分值占比8%。

聽力篇章：有3篇，共10題，每題2分；分值占比20%。（2）新聞聽力解題思路

四級聽力新聞共三篇，共七道題，每篇長度大約200個單詞，朗讀語速在每分鐘130個詞左右。參考了TEM4考試新聞部分，其長度不大，雖然短小，但是信息量卻很多，新聞聽力需要讓聽眾在短時間里獲得最多的信息，一般將最重要 1 的內(nèi)容放在開頭的第一句，這句話就是新聞的導(dǎo)語，通常包括了如what, when, where, who, why 和how 等新聞事實。后面的內(nèi)容一般是針對導(dǎo)語的進(jìn)一步展開，所以新聞聽力一般會采用主旨+細(xì)節(jié)的考查方法。通常考查的新聞細(xì)節(jié)包括時間、地點、行為、數(shù)字等方面。

（3）新聞聽力解題思路

1.預(yù)覽選項，推測新聞段落的基本內(nèi)容 2.根據(jù)選項判定題型

新聞聽力一篇兩道題，通常是主旨題和細(xì)節(jié)題。新聞特點主旨題在導(dǎo)語第一句。3.放音時邊聽邊記 4.聽清問題 5.所聽即所得

（4）新聞的題材內(nèi)容

國際政治工業(yè)、農(nóng)業(yè)

文化教育體育衛(wèi)生

法律宗教社會問題

災(zāi)難報道等

外交 軍事經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易

科學(xué)技術(shù)能源交通（5）重

必須在平時開始積累。

BBC 和 VOA、CNN、CHINA DAILY改編的新聞節(jié)目，經(jīng)濟(jì)類和環(huán)保類。聽力練習(xí)步驟： 1.做題 2.對答案

3.查閱聽力原文 單詞、短語、定位詞 4.再次做題 5.跟讀

答題關(guān)鍵必須聽清楚 問什么

（6）四大設(shè)題處

1.新聞的首句。新聞命題點常常是新聞報道中所說到的6要素即（what, who, which, where, when, how）,其中又有50%位于導(dǎo)語部分即第一句話，所以每個新聞的第一句話非常重要。

2.新聞的尾句。尾句有時是對新聞做總結(jié)或概述，所以設(shè)題點也可能在新聞的 2

尾句。

3.含有年代，數(shù)量，價格等數(shù)字處。

4.新聞材料的列舉處。地區(qū)，改革，相關(guān)人物等信息的例舉處往往是新聞的設(shè)題重點，而且往往是Except, Not, Incorrect等題型的首選。

1.主旨題——導(dǎo)語掌握法

主旨題是每年的新聞聽力考試題型中定會出現(xiàn)的一類題型。題目經(jīng)常以What is the main idea of the news?／What does the news item mainly report?的形式出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)新聞的結(jié)構(gòu)特點，常使用倒金字塔結(jié)構(gòu)（重點在前）。因此，在主旨題中，考生只要能夠聽懂導(dǎo)語的表述，就能夠很好地把握主旨題。2． 細(xì)節(jié)題——問題答案合并法

此類題在新聞題中占比例較高。同學(xué)都感慨聽新聞時太多細(xì)節(jié)，因此很難選出正確答案。細(xì)節(jié)題的關(guān)鍵不在于你能夠聽到多少的細(xì)節(jié)，而在于你能否找到題目的題點。對于此種題型的應(yīng)試策略為：首先找到題目中的關(guān)鍵詞或者短語，在聽材料的過程中能夠增加對問題的敏感度,以便更容易聽到題點；之后，便可用問題答案合并法，即問題與答案出現(xiàn)在同一個句子中，很容易找到正解。3．推理題一句式句意轉(zhuǎn)換法

推理題一向是各種題型中最難的一類，一般不能直接聽到答案，而需要對新聞中的某句話進(jìn)行句式或句意上的轉(zhuǎn)換。對于此類題型，可以參照細(xì)節(jié)題的方法，同樣先找出題目中的關(guān)鍵詞，在新聞中聽到考點后迅速進(jìn)行句式或句意上的轉(zhuǎn)換，再找出答案。

4、對錯判斷題——細(xì)節(jié)答案對應(yīng)法

對錯判斷題同樣是新聞中出現(xiàn)頻率較高的題型，實際上也是一種細(xì)節(jié)題，只是要求學(xué)生對答案中的多個細(xì)節(jié)加以判斷。對于此類題型，采用最多的是細(xì)節(jié)答案對應(yīng)法，即在聽新聞材料的過程中，聽到題點，迅速找到對應(yīng)的選項并要求做出對錯判斷。

Step Two 造成新聞聽力得分低的原因

1.對時事關(guān)注度不夠

新聞反映的是社會各個方面的信息，含括政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、軍事、文化、體育和自然災(zāi)害等,這就要求考生在各個領(lǐng)域都要有一定的常識。

2.對新聞詞匯的不了解

新聞中的詞匯多是正式的書面用詞。其次，由于新聞的內(nèi)容常與時事相關(guān)，因此 3

會出現(xiàn)很多各個領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)用語。如:parliament（議會，國會），civilian（平民），hostage(人質(zhì))等。

此外，新聞中的人名地名也會給考生造成很大的困惑。3.對新聞的文體和句法結(jié)構(gòu)的不適應(yīng)

新聞文體常使用倒金字塔結(jié)構(gòu)，是指在新聞報道中把最重要的新聞事實放在整個報導(dǎo)的開頭，稱為導(dǎo)語；把次要的新聞事實放在導(dǎo)語之后；把最不重要的新聞事實放在整個報導(dǎo)的末尾。導(dǎo)語部分是整個新聞報道的精華，是對整個新聞報道的概括。往往在導(dǎo)語中便交代了時間、地點、人物、事件，有時還有原因，即常說的5 個“wh-”

4.對常速新聞?wù)Z速的不習(xí)慣

新聞強(qiáng)調(diào)及時、迅速。語速比日常英語的語速快得多，且只放一遍，考生往往感覺還沒有抓住什么新聞就播完了

Step Three新聞聽力技巧

a.瀏覽題目，根據(jù)選項猜題意，從而縮小范圍。

b.集中精神，注意新聞的第一句話。新聞報道的開頭第一句話一般是對整個報道的一個概括。

c.抓住句子主干，再長的句子也有主謂賓——精聽

d.詳略得當(dāng)，聽到個別專用名詞，如人名、國名地名、組織機(jī)構(gòu)名等，不要糾結(jié)于此，以免忽略后面的內(nèi)容

總結(jié)

1.多做精聽，聽出句子的主干部分。

2.要特別注重新聞報道的第一句話。

3.擴(kuò)大詞匯量。

4.掌握一些基本縮略語。

5.注意數(shù)字的不同說法。

6.循序漸進(jìn)，由易到難。

7.要密切注意國內(nèi)外形勢的變化。
