四级最后一搏-听力理解三种题型实战答题技巧(1)
对话题八大考点答题技巧?
前文已经讲过,对话题根据其考点,可以分为八类,下面结合例子一一讲解如何听这八类对话。?
① 数字题
在对话中常常会出现数字,主要涉及时间、价格、帐目、运算、电话号码等。在近年的四级考试中,出现频率较低,而且听一个数字进行辨音的题很少,一般要求考生既正确辨听谈话中提到的数字,又要求考生进行简单的运算,在听这类题时,要注意以下几点。?
a.正确辨听数字,不要混淆:在英语数字听力材料中,容易弄错的数字有:three, six, seven.此外,-teen和-ty也是要分清楚的。?
b. 在进行运算时注意关键的提示词,如slow, fast, increase, double, decrease, drop to, twice, 3 times等。以确认是加还是减,是乘还是除,乘几等,例如: ?
You’ll hear:?
W: Oh, good heavens. It’s already 3 o’ clock now.
M: Don’t worry. That clock is one hour faster.?
Q: What time is it now? ?
这一题较简单,但有的同学一听“faster”一词,便会加上一小时,得出“It’s 4 o’clock now.”的结论,这实在是不应犯的粗心错误。?
又如:You’ll hear:?
M: The number of the freshmen in our department reached 90 last year, but because of lack of dormitory rooms, it dropped 1/3 this year. ?
W:As far as I know, a lot of new dormitories are being built. The number of the freshmen next year will be double of that this year.?
Q: How many freshmen will there be next year? ?
这一题的运算较为复杂一点,这里我们关键是要听清是“dropped”还是“dropped to”。这一题的四个选项为:(A)60, (B)90,(C)120,(D)150。如果抓住“dropped”及女士谈话中的“double”,不难找到正确答案,即(C)项120。?
c. 在对话中出现多个数字时,记好笔记并注意问题——即注意我们要找的是哪个数字,例
如,You’ll rear:?
W: How much does that book cost?
M: 10 dollars but each of us 4 has only 8 dollars. ?
Q: If each of them wants to buy a book, how much do they lack in total? ?
You’ll read:?
(A)$4. (B)$8. (C)$10. (D)$12.?
解答这题时,首先要做简单的笔记,记下“10→book”,“4×8”,分别代表“10 dollars a book” 和“4 people ×8 dollars.”其次注意提问,不是“How much does a book cost?”或“How much do 4 books cost?”而是“how much do they lack in total?”,很快我们可以列出算式10×4-8×4=8所以,答案为(B)$8。 ?
② 地点题
地点题是对话中比较容易把握的一类,近年来在四级考试中出现的频率不高,但近两年来每年都有一题。地点题一般分为两种:(1)猜测地点;(2)确认地点。猜测地点指注意谈话环境,从谈话中所提及的关键词推测谈话环境。这类题的提问方式为“Where does the conversation most probably take place?”,谈话中一般不提及地点,如:?
M: Do you have any ties that match this shirt??
W: Su
