全国英语等级考试四级听力理解命题思路
听力考试的第一节考查考生理解特定或具体信息的能力。考生根据所听到的一段180-220词的独白或对话,填补表格中的空白。该小节录音材料将播放两遍。问题在干中给出,不再在录音中播放。本小节一共五道题,播放录音前有25秒的答题时间,第一遍录音放完后有30秒答题时间,第二遍录音播放完后有20秒完成答案和检查答案时间。 本节考试的核心题型为细节题,考查考生对给定范围细节的定位和获取事实性具体信息的能力。出题点集中在时间、地点、天气、人物、数字、电话号码和价格等细节信息上。由于考题中已给出所要求的细节内容,因此考生只需要听懂原文并进行合理定位即可。该小节题目比较简单,考生对该部分的分数应志在必得。 经典例题: For Questions 1-5, you will hear a conversation in which a woman is asking for tourist information about Sudeley Castle and Snowshill Manor.While you listen, fill out the table with the information you’ve heard.

[听力原文] W: When I was getting divorced in 1975,reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldn’t let him in .He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. I just couldn’t believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves as shavings the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesn’t matter how personal the matter may be. People don’t trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in groups to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, it is usually buried among advertisements. I have received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know what is true in the press these days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious, responsible and honest reporters. Don’t judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors-take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers of see on television news. M: You now have 50 seconds to check your answers to Questions 6-10. 名师精解: 6.答案来自When I was getting divorced in 1975,reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. cameramen/camera men此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和单词记忆和掌握。答案来自在文章的开头,是听力考试中反复出现的出题点。同时考生应注意单复数拼写。 7.答案来自One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit.此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。应抓住关键词“pretending to pay”等词,同时考察考生对短语pay a visit to的掌握。同时考生应注意题目要求可以填入不多于三个词。 8.答案来自I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed.此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和单词拼写掌握。注意depressed的拼法。同时考生应注意depressed和depressing的过去分词和现在分词的区别。 9.答案来自It is usually buried among advertisements. among advertisements此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和单词拼写的掌握。本题出现“where”这个词提示是对地点提问,因此应对涉及到地点的短语和介词特别注意。 10.答案来自Unless the guys at the top -the editors and the news directors-take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers of see on television news. 此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。此题由于句子比较长又比较复杂因此难度比较大,但考生不要害怕,越是难句往往答案越简单,此处只要听懂全文就很容易写出答案。 题型分析:和第一节中全部是填充题不同,在第二节中,出现了简答题。这些简答题多为以what,how,when,where,who,why等特殊疑问词开头的特殊疑问句。因此,考生在注意时间、地点、价格、人物等特定信息的同时,还要对听力独白或者对话中出现的原因、背景、方式等具体信息进行加强记忆。由于题干中要求本部分的答案不能超过三个单词,因此,即使是在简单题中,答案也不能超过三个字。因此,要求考生具有提炼信息的能力。能够分辨出听力原文信息中的要害部分。 相关资料 |
