英語四級聽力陷阱知多少
短對話(short conversations) 題目序號: 11-18 所占比例:8%
解題技巧:
1.四個選項中如有兩選項意思相反或相近,那么這兩個選項更可能成為答案
2.原文經(jīng)常會把正確選項的詞用同義詞來替換
以上是大部分短對話的慣用解法,但2012年12月出了一道接近六級聽力難度的題,解題最關(guān)鍵的位置不是我們常提到的答句部分,而是出在問題上。
例:18. A) Take a break.
B) Refuel his car.
C) Ask the way.
D) Have a cup of coffee.
聽力原文:
W: This place doesn't look familiar at all, we must be lost.
M:Yes,it seems so. Let's pull in here, while 'm filling in the tank, you go ask the way and get me something to drink please.
Q: What does the man going to do first?
解析:原文中男士要去給車加油,用filling the tank替換了B選項的refuel,挺難的單詞。而之后又讓女士去ask the way和get something to drink,和CD選項分別是一模一樣和簡單替換。最后問男士先做什么,答案應(yīng)該選擇B選項,但通過以上解析不難看出,考生極易選擇CD選項。
以下筆者再舉出一道08年6月的六級聽力真題供大家參考:
13. A.Wash the dishes.
B. Go to the theatre.
C. Pick up George and Martha.
D. Take her daughter to hospital.
聽力原文:
M: You are not going to do all those dishes before we leave, are you? If we don't pick up George and Martha in 25 minutes, we'll never get to the theater on time.
W: Oh, didn't I tell you, Martha called to say her daughter was ill and they could not go tonight.
Q: What is the woman probably going to do first?
解析:答案為A
通過一道早年的六級聽力題和剛剛考完的四級聽力進(jìn)行比較,相信大家不難看出兩點,一是之后再遇到這樣沒有主語的四個選項,一定要聽清楚事情發(fā)生的先后順序和問題再做解答;二是四級考試對考生的要求正悄悄地加大,甚至到達(dá)了早年對六級學(xué)生的要求。所以廣大考生如果覺得四級真題練得不夠過癮,甚至可以用六級聽力來挑戰(zhàn)一下自己。
長對話(long conversations) 題目序號:19-25 所占比例:7%
&短文聽力(short passages) 題目序號:26-35 所占比例:10%
解題技巧:
1,更多單詞或短語被讀到的選項就是正確選項
2,原文經(jīng)常會把正確選項的詞用同義詞來替換
3,第一題經(jīng)常對應(yīng)原文第一句或第一回合
4,順序出題,邊聽邊做,不等問題。
以上是長對話和短文聽力的常規(guī)解法,但進(jìn)行了大量練習(xí)考生可能會發(fā)現(xiàn),有些題目不止被讀到一個選項,在原文聽不太懂的情況下就困惑了,接下來筆者就以2012年12月的兩道長對話題為例來做分析。
20.A) The effects were very good.
B) The acting was just so-so.
C) The plot was too complicated.
D) The characters were lifelike.
21.A) They triumphed ultimately over evil in the battle.
B) They played the same role in War of the Worlds.
C) They are popular figures among young people.
D) They are two leading characters in the film.
部分聽力原文:
M: No, not at all. Oh, (20)the effects were very good.
W: Yes, I thought they were marvelous. Especially the battle in space, incredible.
M: Yes, but I was going to say I thought the acting was terrible.
W: Yes. I suppose Jason was too good to be true. And what was the name of the Baddy?
M: Cargon?
W: Yeah. Cargon was really evil, wasn't he? But I suppose that's what these films are all about-good triumphing over evil. (21)And the characters have to be black and white.
M: Well ,yes, but not always. War of the Worlds wasn't like for example. Anyway, you enjoy the film. That's the most important.
W: Yes, I did. Thanks for taking me.
Q:
19. What does the man say about the science fiction films?
20. What opinion did the speakers share about the film they just seen?
21. What to be learned about Jason and Cargon?
解析:實際聽題過程中,20題極易被考生選D選項,因為21題答案句中的characters這個詞,而21題又極易被考生選B選項,因為原文中劃雙下劃線的War of the Worlds.
在以上這兩個原文相對較難的題型中,對于大多數(shù)基礎(chǔ)不是很扎實的同學(xué)來說,只聽一遍是不太可能聽懂大意和之后的問題的,所以就要求大家盡可能按照上文講的方法去練自己迅速反應(yīng)過來單詞被讀到的能力。萬不得已的情況下,通過以上聽力原文大家不難看出,干擾選項大多出現(xiàn)在正確答案之后的位置,所以如果在聽到兩個選項又不敢確定的情況下,選擇先聽到的可能更容易做對。
