沖擊波英語(yǔ)專八系列:聽力部分新聞?lì)}型特點(diǎn)
3. 細(xì)節(jié)題
從2003到2012年考題的題型分布來看,細(xì)節(jié)題占據(jù)了半壁江山。因此在聽力訓(xùn)練時(shí)要有意識(shí)地提高對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的敏感度,能對(duì)相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)信息做出快速反應(yīng)。新聞中的細(xì)節(jié)信息無外乎時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、狀態(tài)、原因和目的等。

總的來說,細(xì)節(jié)題要拿分難度并不大,關(guān)鍵還是在于如何有效獲取切題信息,關(guān)于這一點(diǎn),我們會(huì)在下一章節(jié)的應(yīng)試解析中詳細(xì)探討。
4. 數(shù)字題
數(shù)字題也是八級(jí)聽力里出現(xiàn)頻率較高的一種題型,考查考生對(duì)數(shù)字的靈敏度。
2005年第4篇的第1題:
According to the WTO, Chinese exports rose last year.
A. 21% B. 10% C. 22% D. 4.73%
2010年第2篇的第2題:

A. 20 million percent. B. 2.2 million percent.

2012年第3篇的第1題:
According to the news item, Japan’s economic growth in the second quarter was ______ less
than the fi rst quarter.
A. 4 percent B. 3 percent
C. 0.6 percent D. 3.4 percent
聽數(shù)字一直是聽力的一大難點(diǎn),熟能生巧是一方面,同時(shí)做題時(shí)也要注意策略。有時(shí)一篇新聞中提到好幾個(gè)數(shù)字。這時(shí)可邊聽邊做題,聽到符合題意的數(shù)字就選上,以防做筆記時(shí)記下一串?dāng)?shù)字,聽完了卻忘了各個(gè)數(shù)字匹配的內(nèi)容,這時(shí)再去回憶聽過的內(nèi)容就有些得不償失了。
5. 推斷題
推斷題可謂各類型聽力題中最難的一種,因?yàn)榇鸢覆皇侵苯咏o出而需要考生通過一些具體句子去推斷。這種題型不但考聽力理解能力,也考邏輯思維能力。例如一則新聞播報(bào)一個(gè)地區(qū)發(fā)生數(shù)起爆炸事件,我們就可推斷這個(gè)地區(qū)社會(huì)不安定。
2007年第2篇的第2題是道比較簡(jiǎn)單的推斷題:
The G20 is a(n) organization.
A. international B. European C. regional D. Asian
這篇新聞提到G20的功能與性質(zhì),雖然沒有直接指出該組織的地域范圍,但從 ...the?G20 is made up of the European Union and 19 other countries including Australia, Brazil, China,?Japan and the U.S.不難推斷G20是一個(gè)國(guó)際型組織。
2009年第1篇的第2題是道較有難度的推斷題:
The news item implies that in the last report.
A. there were fewer studies done ? B. there were fewer policy proposals
C. there was less agreement ? ? ? ? ?D. there were fewer objectives
新聞雖未直接評(píng)述前一個(gè)報(bào)告,但從The UN panel released its last climate change report?6 years ago. The scientists say the new report is based on studies done since then and stronger?agreement on global warming.這兩句話可以推斷出在全球變暖這一問題上,新報(bào)告的意見比老報(bào)告的更統(tǒng)一,因此答案為C。
