  英语四级自6月改革以来,很多考生出现不适应听力考试的情况,下面小编整理出的一些经验方法和大家分享一下吧 ,欢迎参考!

  四级听力试题的调整

  1. 取消短对话

  2. 取消短文听写

  3. 新增短篇新闻(3段)

  其余测试内容不变。

  调整后四级听力部分的试题结构见下表:

  改革之处:

  短篇新闻,原是英语专业四级与八级的题型,在改革去除之后,跑到了四级当中。

  此次,四级中,会有3段新闻,7道选择题。

  两篇较短的新闻,字数在130-140词左右;较长的一篇,字数在200词左右。

  在四六级考试委员会此次所给出的样题中,三段新闻皆出自于BBC News。

  难点所在:

  新闻听力中,会出现大量的专有名词与正式用语。同时,话题也将不再是大家熟悉的校园,生活类,而将转变为时事政治与社会热点。这对于原本听力基础就较为薄弱的同学而言,就更是雪上加霜。

  应对方法:

  1. 词汇积累:背诵英语新闻中的高频与专业词汇。(可使用开心词场,背诵新闻词汇。)

  2. 掌握新闻规律:新闻作为正式文章,在结构方面是相对固定的。按照总分结构展开,首句说明事情概况,之后进行细节描述。同时,出题也会从总体和细节两个方面进行。掌握好规律,提高做题的正确率。

  3. 着手练习:

  由于原本在英语专业考试中有涉及,因此同学们可以先从以前的专业四级考试中选择题目进行练习,熟悉题型。

  平时,开始收听BBC与VOA的新闻,养成每日浏览外媒新闻的习惯,加强对于时事热点的了解。

  下面是改革后的2016年6月英语四级听力真题:(卷一)听力原文

  News Report 1

  The International Labor Organization says the number of people without jobs is increasing. In its latest update on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number of unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people living on less than 2 dollars per day in the past three years. The director general of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis.

  However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes four to five years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labor Organization is proposing a global jobs' agreement to deal with unemployment. 'It's key objective is to play so the center of recovery efforts, measures that would generate high levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.'

  Q1. What is the news report mainly about?

  Q2. What does, Juan Somavia, the director general of the International Labor Organization say?

That if they want to make their healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories they can. And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity.
