大学英语四级听力技巧

大学英语四级听力技巧

按照新的教学大纲的要求，学生在学完1-4级基础阶段的英语课程后，对所给的英语口头材料应达到一定的理解程度。对题材熟悉，内容浅于课文，基本上无生词、语速每分钟为150个单词的材料， 准确率不低于70%。

通过对历年试卷的听力部分所作的题项分析，充分表明考生听力的高低完全取决于他们是否具备了以下4个方面的基础：

一. 坚实的语言基础

二. 一定的文化背景知识

三. 基本的听力技能

四. 正确有效的听音习惯

听力材料的选材原则一般基于以下三点：

一. 对话部分为校园生活中的一般对话，句子结构和内容不太复杂

二. 短文部分的材料是题材熟情节不太复杂的故事、讲话或叙述等

三. 所用词汇不超过教学大纲词汇表规定的范围

对于占据35%的听力部分，以下最直接，最具体的考试技巧，一定会让你多份考试的信心。

（一）Short Conversations

听对话的注意事项：

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

3） 注意加减运算，听到的不是答案

4） 注意记笔记，将人物、地点、时间等对号入座从语法、短语含义入手，判断隐含之意

题目序号：11-18

及格数量：5-6道 推荐准确数量：6-7题

重点场景：Airport（flight）， restaurant hotel

重点主题：Campus life， job-hutting

核心技巧：

1、后句比前句重要，回答比提问重要

2、若选项中个别单词或短语被明显播读，此项多为错项

3、最好能够听懂问题在问什么

例题：

2006年6月四级考试第9题

A．Helen is talkative B. Helen is active C. Helen is sociable D. Helen is quite

原文：

M：We’ve got three women researchers in our group, Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know

them?

W: Sure, Mary is active and sociable. Betty is the most talkative woman I’ve ever met. But

guess what？Helen is just the opposite.

Q: what do we know from the conversation?

解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为D.其中，另外三项的形容词都被读到，而quite恰好是talkative与opposite组合的一个同义替换。

2008年12月四级考试第17题

1

A) She wants to get some sleep. B) She needs time to write a paper.

C) She has a literature class to attend. D) She is troubled by her sleep problem.

原文：

M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?

W: I'd love to, but I'm exhausted.（疲惫） I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my

literature class.

Q: Why does the woman decline the man's invitation?

解析：准确答案A。用来替换I'm exhausted（疲倦），同义替换，听到的慎选。

答案：ABCD

原文：

When couples get married，they usually plan to have children，Sometimes，however，a couple

can not have a child of their own. In this case，they may decide to adopt a child. In fact，adoption is

very common today. There are about 60,000 adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some

people prefer to adopt infants. Others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their

own families，they all adopt children for the same reason. They care about children（第26题） and

want to give their adopted child a happy life.

Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and childcare experts

generally think this is a good idea. However，many adopted children or adoptees have very little

3

information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact，it is often very difficult for adoptees

to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed.

The information is secret，（第27题）so no one can see it.

Naturally，adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees

want to search for them，but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one

to make.

Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. （第28题）Even though

adoptees do not know about their natural parents，they do know that their adoptive parents want

them，love them and will care for them.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.

ing to the speaker，why do some couples adopt children？

is it difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents？

do many adoptees find it hard to make the decision to search for their birth parents？

can we infer from the passage？

（四）Compound Dictation

题目序号：36-46 （前八题每题0.5分，后三题每题2分）

及格数量：6分 （写对至少5个单词，至少写出2句话的大意）

推荐准确数量：及格数量

核心技巧：

1、一支好笔

2、不要直接写在答题卡上，需要稍后誊写

3、句子一定要有完整结构，注意检查语法。

4、整齐，干净

5、尽量多写，不要放弃

复合式听写是对应试者听的能力、拼写能力、记笔记能力和书面表达的能力的综合测试。它要求应试者不仅听懂内容，熟练而准确地拼写单词，更重要的是将其归纳、总结，把主要意思通过笔头表达出来。在整个听力理解过程中，要注意以下几点：

1） 利用读指令的这段时间，大致浏览一遍短文，了解一下全文语意意群的内容，通过阅读，对于所有要听的文字材料在头脑中形成一个大概印象，并对要填写的文字进行初步猜测。

2） 录音在放第三遍的时，应试者除了填充前两遍没有听懂的部分之外，主要精力应放在检查已填充的词、词组和句子是否正确上。许多容易形成笔误的部分应该在这一段时间内一一排除。例如，字母大小写问题，单词的拼写，名词的单复数，名词所有格，单数第三人称，冠词的运用，动词时态的统一，主谓一致，词的前缀后缀等。

3） 太长的词可先简写词头，以后再补充。

4） 注意力不要跟着阅读人的速度走，最好先到空格处，以集中精力听写。

5） 要学会放弃，不会的和听不懂的不要纠缠，以免影响后面的发挥。

6） 养成良好的应试心理，这对听力考试尤为重要。

要想做好复合式听写的第二部分——写出要点，需要做到以下几点：

1. 分析，归纳和总结所听内容

4

所谓写出要点就是概括地写出主要意思。因此，并不需要把听到的内容全部写出来，凡是涉及到事物发展过程，背景等次要情节都不必写出，而是写出主干和结论，也就是讲话人要说明的内容。

2. 简化句子与结构

在听的过程中，往往会听到一个内容和结构都很复杂的句子，此时要抓住要点，可以把一个很复杂的句子简化为简单句表达出来

3. 边听边记录

由于一篇文章内容较多，只读三遍，速度快，即使听懂也难免遗漏内容，所以养成在听的过程中用英语或汉语简单快速地记下某些内容，以便写重点时参考。

4. 抓住关键词，参考主题句

在听的时候，要注意文章内的关键词和每段开头与结尾的句子，抓住几个关键词，再参考每段的主题句，猜测文章的主要内容和句子的主要意思，再用简单语言把它写出来也能得一定的分数。

5. 用简单的语言写要点

写要点时要注意语言的完整性和表达的正确性，要避免语法和拼写错误，要写完整的句子而不是单个词或短语。

关于复合式听写我们可以当作一篇Cloze来做，通过对语篇的理解来猜测空格处有可能填的词汇和要点。在播放directions的时候做个小小的分析，可以让我们在听的时候更加有目的性。
