第一章听力理解

第一节听力题型改革概述

听力比例由原来的20%提升到35%：短对话部分由原来的10题减至8题；增加两篇长对话，题量在3至4题每篇，一共7题；短文(俗称“段子题”)仍为3篇，题量在3至4题每篇，一共10题；复合式听写保持不变。以上4个听力部分中，短对话和长对话的分值一共占15%，而短文和复合式听写的分值一共占20%。听力题材涉及的范围更加广泛，形式灵活多样，包括对话、讲座、广播电视节目等等。

第二节听力题型概述及应试策略

一、关于对话题

(一) 长短对话听力题改革与分析

1. 听力短对话部分虽然由原先的10题改为8题，但就其题目特点与解题思路而言与以往的老题型没有太大的差异。这些题目一如既往地贯彻了以往的几大常见考点：

·转折引起的作者态度及谈论重点的变化；

·对现象原因的阐述与补充；

·反问句式、反意疑问句式的考察：反问和反意疑问在四级考试中永远以一种无疑而问的形式出现，这次依然用了这样的一个形式。因此，只要能很好把握其“无疑而问”的特点，就能方便解题。当然也应该注意到，反问句往往作为加强语气的建议句型出现的这一考点。

·建议句型的考察：建议句型往往是比较复杂的考点之一，因为句型相对比较多，而且隐蔽性比较强。

·场景、人物关系的推测；

·语音语调的考察。

综上所述，试点考试将依然遵循以往的考试规律和特点，一脉相承。但所谓的短对话却也越来越长，这也体现了现在考试在句型句式、言外之意和内容复杂化三个方面的发展趋势。

2. 听力长对话并不可怕，它结合了短对话对问答句式，建议请求，和关键场景赐予的考察和长段子对文章层次和理解能力的要求。因此做这样的题目往往

需要具备综合的素质，既要注意其中的细节，又要注意整体的把握，还要能够应付7道题目的题量，这比以往的四级题目对综合能力的要求显著提高了。(二) 长短对话听力技巧

应注意以下几点：

1. 提前阅读选项，判断问题所属，从而集中精力于有关信息。

2. 注意根据信息词汇判断地点和说话人的身份职业等。

当同学们看到四个地点和职业名词时，大脑中就应该马上出现与这些地点或职业相关的一系列词语，在听的过程中注意提到了什么信息词语，这样就可轻松地判断谈话发生的地点，说话人的职业或身份，以及谈话双方的关系。

为此，同学们有必要了解与各种职业和地点行业有关的信息词汇，如：

饭店：menu, order, waitress, waiter, take order, go Dutch, It's my treat等；

旅馆：check in/out, make a reservation, register, reception desk等；

医院：physician, doctor, nurse, operation-room, emergency room, visiting hours, prescribe等；

银行：open an account, withdraw, deposit, saving, cash a check等；

飞机/机场：safety-belt, boarding card, captain, airhostess, airline, take off, land, crash等。

3. 注意加减运算，听到的不是答案

在涉及时间、距离、金钱等数量概念的听力中，一般都要求同学们进行加减方面的运算，很

少是听到什么就是什么。有时，计算可能会麻烦

些，同学们能够先将听到的时间等记下，等有时

间在计算。在计算题中应特别注意以下数字的读

音差别：

13---30；14-40；15 --- 50；16 --- 60；17 -70；

18 -80；19 -90

选项中会有这种数字读音差别的考查。如：

W: when does the next train leave?

M: You have just missed one by 5 minutes.

Trains leave every 50 minutes, so you'll have

to wait for a while.

Q: How long does the woman have to wait for the next train?

A. 45 minutes

B. 50 minutes

C. 10 minutes

D. 5 minutes

如果把50minutes 听成了15 minutes，就会误选C。

4. 注意记笔记，将人物、地点、时间等对号入座

听力测试中的另外一种现象就是，四个选项中的人物、地点、时间或事件等在对话中可

能都有提及。在这种情况下，同学们所需要的

不是寻找信息词，而是注意将四个选项与对话

中提及的信息对号入座。如：

(1) W: Do you enjoy life in Washington?

M: Yes, indeed. I'm planning to move to New York or Boston. Anyway, I've never

regretted my earlier decision.

Q: Where does the man live now?

A. In New York

B. In boston

C. In New port

D. In Washington

四个地点对话中提到了三个，具体是哪一个，同学们在听的时候应注意分辨。

(2) M: Please buy two packs of cigarettes for me while you are at the store.

W: I am not going to any store. I'm going to see

Aunt Mary. But I will get them for you at the

gas station.

Q: Where will the woman stop on her way?

A. At a cigarette store.

B. At a bus station.

C. At a gas station.

D. At Aunt Mary's

如果地点不含职业性的对比，一般就很可能属于

这里所介绍的类型，那么同学们所做的就是分

别。

5. 从语法入手、从短语含义入手，判断隐含之意

四级听力中常考查的语法是建议和虚拟语气。要求同学们判断建议是什么，虚拟中含义是

什么。就建议而言，同学们只需注意建议的各种

表示方式，就可解答这类听力题；至于虚拟语气，我想同学们能够记住这样一条规律：与所听到的

相反的就是答案。

6. 概括与具体，具体与抽象相对，概括的、抽

象的是解

这类题主要是话题的选择，也包括一些对整

个事件的评价等。如：

(1) W: We all talk about how liberated we are,

but in fact woman are still not treated

equally.

M: I don't think so. You've got the vote,

you've got your careers I think you've got

everything important.

Q: What are they talking about?

A. The woman's job as a librarian.

B. Woman's rights in society.

C. An important election.

D. Career planning.

谈论的话题应是一个抽象的概括性的东西，因此答案是B。

(2) M: This has been the worst flood for the past

20 years. It has caused much damage and

destruction.

W: Look at the price of fruits and vegetables.

No wonder they are expensive.

Q: What are they talking about?

A. The effects of the flood.

B.The heroic fight against flood.

C. The cause of the flood.

D.Floods of the past twenty years.

能够概括对话中物价上涨的应该是A。

7. 肯定与不肯定相对，含义不肯定的是解

这一技巧用于解答说话者言外之意的听力题。如：

(1) W: I intend to buy some fruits for the

children. These apples and pears seem to be

in season. I'll get two dozen of each.

M: I hope they're as good as they look.

Q: What does the man mean?

A. The apples and pears might no be so good.

B. The apples are not as good as the pears.

C. The apples and pears are very good.

D. The apples and pears are as good as they look.

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第一套） Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is foll owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unple asant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of re fusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice
