第一篇:2009年12月英語四級短對話解析
2009年12月英語四級短對話解析
今年的四級短對話總體上說難度與往年持平,只要聽到了聽力關(guān)鍵詞匯基本就能選出答案。在我們昂立的短對話教學(xué)當(dāng)中提出過一個(gè)原則叫做“第二人說話”原則,這次的考試也充分驗(yàn)證了這一原則,除了第一題以外只要聽到第二人說話就能選出答案。
此外,這次短對話中的關(guān)鍵詞匯也是我們在課堂上全部提及的。比如說12題中的recommend推薦,15題中的disappointed失望的, promotion升職,responsibility責(zé)任,16題中的work out鍛煉身體,gym健身房,out of shape身材走形,terrific極好的,pay off取得成功、得到好結(jié)果,18題中的lay off失業(yè),resign辭職,只要學(xué)生在考試之前復(fù)習(xí)過這些核心詞匯,那選對答案基本沒有問題的。以16題為例,女的說從一月份開始她就在健身房鍛煉了,她的身材有一點(diǎn)走形。但是男的說她現(xiàn)在看起來很棒,看來她的努力是有回報(bào)的,與答案中C“她的鍛煉產(chǎn)生了好的結(jié)果”相對應(yīng)。而且這是一道推測內(nèi)涵題,對于聽到的內(nèi)容要做同義替換,不能聽到什么選什么,可以排除A B和D.在四級短對話中還有一個(gè)我們上課常提到的原則叫做“but”原則,這次的11、14和15題都使用了這個(gè)原則,只要聽到了but后面的話就能選出答案。以14題為例,原文中說到女的想了解關(guān)于巴爾的摩的情況,而據(jù)她所知這個(gè)男的以前是住在那兒的,所以她就問這個(gè)男的,但是這個(gè)男的回答他當(dāng)時(shí)住在巴爾的摩的時(shí)候非常小,暗含的意思是他也不太記得清楚,或者是差不多都忘了,與答案中B他可能不能提供什么有用的信息向?qū)?yīng)。這也再次提醒了考生在聽短對話的時(shí)候要充分抓住聽力技巧,一旦出現(xiàn)了轉(zhuǎn)折就要集中精力,因?yàn)榇鸢妇吞N(yùn)含其中。
這次的短對話也考到了我們上課所總結(jié)的場景詞匯,特別是工作場景、購物場景和學(xué)習(xí)場景,其中工作場景是15和18題,學(xué)習(xí)場景是17題,購物場景是12題??偨Y(jié)場景詞匯是為了讓學(xué)生更好地抓住對話核心,及時(shí)定位對話內(nèi)容,提高選擇正確率,所以對明年六月的四級考生來說考試之前反復(fù)背誦聽力場景詞匯仍然是非常重要的。
2009年12月大學(xué)英語四級考試聽力長對話解析
孫煥奐
本次大學(xué)英語四級考試聽力部分的長對話難度適中,與09年6月份考題相比而言,難度略有下降。話題內(nèi)容都是考生所熟悉的選課,即校園場景,以及四級“屢考不止”的“壓力疼痛”問題。
第一篇長對話解析:
對話發(fā)生在一個(gè)咨詢計(jì)算機(jī)編程(computer programming)課程報(bào)名信息的學(xué)生和課程咨詢老師之間。這位學(xué)生白天工作,只能上夜課(evening course),而且周四晚上沒空。咨詢老師建議在上computer programming course之前先上數(shù)據(jù)處理(data processing course)作為一個(gè)預(yù)備課程,原文為data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming,在昂立四六級教材的模擬題里,這句話為“data processing a pre-requisite course you have to take…”??梢娬骖}已經(jīng)降低了難度,把考生可能聽不懂的pre-requisite(先決條件,前提)刪除了。課程時(shí)間為每周一晚七點(diǎn)鐘,每次將近三個(gè)小時(shí),晚7:00到9:45,課程時(shí)長為十二個(gè)星期,起止時(shí)間為九月的第一個(gè)星期到圣誕節(jié)前的12月21日。以上信息相信昂立的學(xué)生都會(huì)很熟悉,最后學(xué)生問道去登記注冊課程時(shí)需要攜帶什么東西,即“Is there anything that I should bring with me?”,對方告知攜帶check book(支票簿)即可。這篇長對話的場景是廣大考生親身經(jīng)歷的,難度應(yīng)該不大。
第二篇長對話解析:
這篇對話的思路為典型的“一人提問,一人作答”的形式,對話進(jìn)度比較容易把握。對話內(nèi)容討論工作中的壓力問題,從宏觀角度講,仍然屬于職場類。關(guān)于職場類長對話,近年真題中考察過求職面試,工作調(diào)動(dòng),過渡性退休和已退休人員的生活等話題。關(guān)于四六級中的“壓力疼痛”問題,昂立的課堂和講座上我們已經(jīng)多次強(qiáng)調(diào)過四六級的出題思路是-------認(rèn)為“壓力和疼痛總是好的”,這個(gè)所謂的“潛規(guī)則”正是25題“What does the man say about the element of stress in his job?”的答案,即(D)It can be a good thing.相信聽過昂立課的學(xué)生應(yīng)該印象頗深。
整篇對話的主要觀點(diǎn)為:被采訪人(the interviewee)是一位financial trader, 原文的措辭為 “trading in financial markets”,他的工作以壓力大聞名(have reputation for being stressful)。壓力主要來源于無法人為控制各種局面(out of control of a situation)以及被各種局面控制(a situation controlling you)的感覺。他主要通過做一些創(chuàng)造性的事情,如去健身房,自己做飯來放松自我以減壓。雖然處于高壓之下,他曾經(jīng)考慮過辭職,但是他仍然認(rèn)為壓力對人有益,原文措辭為:“However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing”,對應(yīng)剛才提到的25題,可以使用我們的“視聽基本一致”做題技巧來解答。
2009年12月英語四級篇章解析
本次四級聽力篇章從內(nèi)容難度上來講,比今年6月的更高。第一篇文章屬于天文類,講的是除地球以外的星球上形成生命的可能性。第二篇的主要內(nèi)容是,通過醫(yī)患之間的信息交流發(fā)現(xiàn)紙質(zhì)的打印出的信息相比口語傳遞的信息更加可靠。第三篇講的則是商務(wù)工作中對員工的激勵(lì)機(jī)制。下面我們分別來解析一下這三篇文章。
Passage 1
第一篇文章的主要內(nèi)容是是,曾經(jīng)科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為其他星球上存在生命的可能性不大,但是現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家在漸漸地定位那些有可能會(huì)形成生命的地方。文章舉了一個(gè)例子,就是木星的一個(gè)衛(wèi)星,叫Europa。因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)家通過probes,探測鏡,發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)星球的表層之下有一個(gè)海洋,甚至還有證據(jù)表明這個(gè)星球的表層下存在火山噴發(fā)釋放的熱量,而水和熱量是生命形成的重要因素。除此之外,科學(xué)家還發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)星球還存在氧氣,氮等化學(xué)物質(zhì),也是生命形成的要素。文章的最后提到了一個(gè)大家普遍誤解的原理,即光并非是形成生命的要素,因?yàn)樵跊]有光的幾英里深的巖洞內(nèi),也發(fā)現(xiàn)了生命的原體—細(xì)菌。第一題問的是科學(xué)家曾經(jīng)(once)相信什么事實(shí)?那么根據(jù)我們的理解,應(yīng)該是他們認(rèn)為外太空不可能存在生命。這個(gè)答案出現(xiàn)在文章的第二句,符合我們對passage技巧一:答案在開頭30秒。且附近出現(xiàn)了連接詞until recently,意思為曾經(jīng)如何,過去一直認(rèn)為如何。因此答案就是B,原文是Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream.意為過去科學(xué)家一直認(rèn)為其他星球上存在生命只是個(gè)美好的愿望。第二題詩細(xì)節(jié)題,問科學(xué)家在europa這個(gè)星球上找到什么,那么應(yīng)該是Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface.意為航空觀測鏡發(fā)現(xiàn)了星球表面下有個(gè)大的海洋。選C,基本跟原文一模一樣。最后一個(gè)問題答案出現(xiàn)在篇章結(jié)束三十秒左右,且在But這個(gè)詞的附近,原文為Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential.But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the surface.And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there.意為科學(xué)家一直以為光是很重要的,但是現(xiàn)在他們發(fā)現(xiàn)完全黑暗的地方—比如幾英里深的洞里,也有生命,即細(xì)菌,最后一題應(yīng)選A。
Passage 2
第二篇比第一篇稍微簡單一些。講述醫(yī)生發(fā)現(xiàn)用紙記錄下的東西比口語交流的信息更加準(zhǔn)確和穩(wěn)定。問題源自一位醫(yī)生在對一個(gè)孩子的家庭口述交待了出院后的注意事項(xiàng)之后,發(fā)現(xiàn)這些親屬們竟然記不清到底醫(yī)生講了些什么,于是醫(yī)生決定在以后交待注意事項(xiàng)的時(shí)候要把這些內(nèi)容全印成紙質(zhì)的東西,因?yàn)榧堎|(zhì)的東西比口語更可靠。第一題問孩子的親屬在為什么而爭論,原文為the family asked her to settle an argument they’d been having over exactly what advice she had given,意為親屬們就醫(yī)生到底講過什么建議爭論不休,問醫(yī)生如何解決。應(yīng)該選B,B中的instructions就是advice。第二題問這個(gè)Myer醫(yī)生怎么樣確定病人完全明白了自己的建議,原文為She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do,也就是正確答案D,tell her 對應(yīng)到答案中的repeat,即再講一遍。最后一問又是典型的篇章問題考法。答案出現(xiàn)在結(jié)尾處,問題是作者對于人類口語交流(human speech)總結(jié)了什么。原文為human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word,也基本跟正確選項(xiàng)A一模一樣。
Passage 3
第三篇主要講公司對員工的激勵(lì)機(jī)制并非是人們通常以為的工資或者工作環(huán)境。而是工作中的挑戰(zhàn)。第一題問的恰好就是主題,到底什么可以真正激勵(lì)員工好好工作呢。原文Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility.連接詞in contrast附近出現(xiàn)了答案,意為起到激勵(lì)作用的東西包括工作的挑戰(zhàn)性和趣味性,以及工作中需承擔(dān)的責(zé)任即最終獲得的認(rèn)可。所以第一題選B,即挑戰(zhàn)性的工作。第二題問到作者對電腦信息時(shí)代總結(jié)了什么。原文為However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there’re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them.我們發(fā)現(xiàn),連接詞however后出現(xiàn)了答案。意為,盡管電腦和機(jī)器人技術(shù)不斷發(fā)展,還是存在那些無聊的,重復(fù)的,機(jī)械性的工作需要人力完成,對應(yīng)到正確答案A中的tedious即無聊,以及manually即手工做的。第三題問了一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)題,超市如何激勵(lì)員工努力工作?在文中激勵(lì)超市員工工作是個(gè)example,但是問題本身針對的是總結(jié)性的答案。即出現(xiàn)在for example前的總結(jié)句:Give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a part of a team.But后強(qiáng)調(diào)的team就是正確答案D。最后一題問的是為什么金錢誘惑刺激不了工作熱情,答案出現(xiàn)在結(jié)尾30秒處,即Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets which automatically only concern a few people.意為團(tuán)隊(duì)精神更能激起工作熱情,因?yàn)榻疱X利益最終只會(huì)與團(tuán)隊(duì)中的個(gè)別人相關(guān)。答案為B。
2009年12月英語四級聽力復(fù)合式聽寫解析——厲瑾
總體來看,2009年12月四級復(fù)合式聽寫的難度略大于6月的考試。下面我將從話題、詞匯、句子這三方面為大家逐一解析。
此次復(fù)合式聽寫的話題比較專業(yè),介紹了三類寫作題材。原文中就充斥了許多長難詞,致使許多學(xué)生預(yù)讀時(shí)就一頭霧水。尤其是全文的首句:in the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways.考生在預(yù)讀過程中往往會(huì)糾結(jié)在humanities這個(gè)詞上。在這里這個(gè)詞解釋為“人文學(xué)科”更合適。如果這句話看懂了,那么接下來理解全文就很容易。如果將這個(gè)詞直白地解釋為“人性”,那么對文章的整體把握就會(huì)有很大出入。
這次復(fù)合式聽寫考到的八個(gè)單詞分別是:classified, background, album, appreciation, context, implies, image, instruction。其中大多都是名詞,且基本都是常用詞匯,拼寫也都符合一般的發(fā)音規(guī)律。尤其是appreciation,instruction這兩個(gè)單詞的拼寫都是我們在昂立的課堂上反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)過的。
最后的三個(gè)句子分別是:
1.Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing.;
2.for example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film.;
3.Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing.正如我們在昂立課堂上強(qiáng)調(diào)的,在復(fù)合式聽寫的句子中經(jīng)常會(huì)有原文原詞出現(xiàn)。其中descriptive writing,humanities,literature,authors,informational writing都在原文中可以直接找到。另外,如果考生在考場上能抓住三個(gè)句子的主謂賓,例如第一句寫成Descriptive writing is mixed with critical writing那么既保留了句子的大意,而且也能規(guī)避如particularly這樣的長難詞。
第二篇:四級聽力短對話解題技巧
大學(xué)英語四級考試聽力短對話解題技巧
大學(xué)英語四級考試中聽力短對話的話題基本是衣、食、住、行等日常生活中常見的話題或與學(xué)校生活相關(guān)的話題。例如:2006年12月四級考試中的聽力短對話出現(xiàn)了圣誕節(jié)禮物、喜愛的食物、買歌劇門票以及會(huì)說幾種語言等話題。聽力短對話雖然短小,但是不應(yīng)忽視,如果掌握方法,這部分得高分還是很容易的。要答好這部分題目,首先要區(qū)分說話者的性別,其次是弄清說話者的觀點(diǎn),最后再排除干擾項(xiàng),得出答案。下面我們首先來看看聽力短對話的??碱}型和提問方式,再根據(jù)它們的特點(diǎn)分析一下短對話的解題技巧。
一、短對話的題型大體上分為以下五類: 1.時(shí)間類:這類題目經(jīng)常以when來提問。
例如:W: Your library books are due on December 13th.If you have not finished using them by then, you may renew them once.M: Thank you very much.I only need them for a few days.Q: When must the man return his books to the library?
2.地點(diǎn)及場所類:經(jīng)常以where提問,比如問對話發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)。這類題在聽力對話題中比較簡單,考生只需掌握表示地點(diǎn)及方位的介詞短語,抓住其中的關(guān)鍵場景特點(diǎn),就能辨認(rèn)出對話發(fā)生的場所。當(dāng)你聽到boarding一詞的時(shí)候,應(yīng)該馬上聯(lián)想到機(jī)場。
例如:M: I need to cash this check?
W: Will you step right over to the teller’s window, please?
Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
3.數(shù)字類:一般來說需要進(jìn)行簡單的換算,這類題目比較簡單,是聽力中的拿分題。
例如:W: Do you live in a college dormitory?
M: Yes, I do.It’s a six-man suite, but at the moment only four of us live there.Q: How many people share the suite now?
4.人物關(guān)系及身份類:此類對話提供一個(gè)情節(jié),能反映所涉及人的關(guān)系或身份。人物關(guān)系及身份類題型幾乎每次考試都會(huì)出現(xiàn),我們可以通過抓關(guān)鍵的特征詞來判斷。四級聽力中常見的人物關(guān)系及身份有teacher and student, librarian and student, shop assistant and customer, doctor and patient, waiter(waitress)and customer。
5.活動(dòng)類:這一類談話內(nèi)容可涉及上課、娛樂、工作、日常生活等各種情況。
例如:M: Professor Smith asked me to go to his office after class.So it’s impossible for me to make it to the bar at ten.W: Then it seems that we’ll have to meet an hour later at the library.Q: What will the man do first after class?
二、短對話的提問方式通常包括以下六種:
1.問“是什么、要什么”等。例如:
What is the man’s answer? What does the woman want for lunch?
What kind of books does the man want to borrow?
2.問“做什么”。例如:
What will the man do first after class? What does the woman tell the man to do first?
What will happen if John fails the exam?
What does the woman want the man to do?What would the woman most probably do?
3.問“什么含義”。例如:
What does the woman mean?
What does the man mean(imply)?
What does the woman’s answer suggest?
4.問“從對話中能獲得什么信息或結(jié)論”。例如:
What do we learn from the conversation?
What do we learn about John from the conversation?
What do we learn about the taxi driver?
5.問“對某人或某事有什么看法”。例如:
What does the man think of Miss Brown?
What does the woman think of the plan?
6.問“對話可能是在什么場所發(fā)生的”。例如:
Where does this conversation most probably take place?
Where does this conversation most likely occur?
Where are the man and the woman?
總之,短對話的提問方式通常是特殊疑問句。除了以上這些提問方式,通常還有提問時(shí)間、提問人物關(guān)系及身份、提問數(shù)字等。無論是哪種提問方式,都是和聽力的對話內(nèi)容和題目類型相對應(yīng)的,只要我們把握了對話的重要考試&大信息就可以快速正確地選出答案。
三、短對話的四個(gè)解題技巧:
1.可以利用錄音正式開始之前的幾分鐘——播放考試說明的時(shí)間,快速瀏覽選項(xiàng),對所談?wù)摰脑掝}和相關(guān)的信息有個(gè)大概的了解。比如看到下面的選項(xiàng):
A)At the airport.B)In a restaurant.C)In a booking office.D)At the hotel reception.我們就可以推斷這個(gè)題目很可能問的是對話發(fā)生的地點(diǎn),屬于地點(diǎn)類題型。所以我們在聽的時(shí)候就要特別注意談話的環(huán)境和對話中出現(xiàn)的關(guān)于場所的詞語。在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中應(yīng)掌握一些常用的句型。比如向他人提出建議或請求時(shí),往往采用委婉的方式來表達(dá)。
表示建議的常用句型:If I were you, I’ll...Why don’t you...? How about...? Maybe you’d better...Perhaps we can...表示請求的常用句型:I wonder if you...Would / Could you tell me...?I’ll appreciate it if you...2.另外我們可以邊聽邊做速記,當(dāng)遇到一時(shí)難以判斷的題時(shí),可以等聽力結(jié)束后再回過頭來仔細(xì)推敲,避免在某一題上花太多時(shí)間。遇到內(nèi)容較復(fù)雜的談話時(shí),記在不同選項(xiàng)旁的關(guān)鍵詞可以幫助我們很快找到正確答案。比如在解答有關(guān)數(shù)字類的題目時(shí),速記就顯得尤為重要。
3.在把握細(xì)節(jié)的基礎(chǔ)上,我們要全面掌握整體意思,排除貌合神考試&大離的選項(xiàng)。在所提供的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,有三個(gè)是干擾項(xiàng),干擾項(xiàng)的設(shè)計(jì)通常是提供一個(gè)讀音與對話中某一詞組十分相似的選項(xiàng)或提供一個(gè)在對話中出現(xiàn)過的詞,以達(dá)到干擾效果。例如:
M: Registration always takes so long.W: What bothers me is all the people who cut in line.Q: What bothers the woman?
A)Registration.B)When the line breaks.C)How long the line is.D)People who don’t wait their turn.其中,B)、C)兩項(xiàng)都出現(xiàn)了“l(fā)ine”一詞,這是在對話中出現(xiàn)過的,許多考生可能被誤導(dǎo)選B),而實(shí)際上讓女士厭煩的是“people who cut in line”,因此選項(xiàng)D)“People who don’t wait their turn”才是正確的。
4.最后需要指出的很重要的一點(diǎn)是:做聽力題時(shí),要注意談話的環(huán)境,重點(diǎn)聽主要信息和目的,不要試圖聽清每一個(gè)詞。聽力測試的設(shè)題目的是考查我們對于對話主要內(nèi)容的全面把握,而不是像聽寫一樣,去聽清每一個(gè)詞。

第五篇:2014年英語四級短對話聽力猜答案技巧
2014年英語四級短對話聽力猜答案技巧
錦囊妙計(jì)1:聽到什么就不選什么
“聽到什么就不選什么”是一個(gè)非常有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的“技巧”,可是,正如風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資一樣,風(fēng)險(xiǎn)越高,其回報(bào)率也就越高。如果聽到的內(nèi)容實(shí)在太難,你根本就沒有聽到具體在說什么,而只是聽到了片言只語,那么,對于短對話題來說,你還有什么辦法能起死回生?這時(shí)能夠救命的只有這條計(jì)策了。
本妙計(jì)何以能夠成立?其依據(jù)是什么?
由于短對話太“短”了,由一來一回兩三句話構(gòu)成,考點(diǎn)挖掘的余地就是對話里那幾個(gè)詞,因此,命題者就必然要在選項(xiàng)上做文章,用原文中的詞匯加以組合,拼湊成與原文“貌合神離”的干擾選項(xiàng)。讓沒有聽懂原文、只是聽懂原文個(gè)別詞句的考生上當(dāng)受騙。而正確答案往往是原文的同義替換(或解釋說明)。
錦囊妙計(jì)“聽到什么就不選什么”尤其適用于一些比較簡單的短對話和長對活題目中!
【例1】A)The mall placed the reading list on a desk.
B)The man regrets being absent-minded.
C)The woman.saved the man 80me trouble.
D)The woman emptied the waste paper basket.
【錄音】M:1 wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list
W:I thought you might regret it.That‘s why I picked it up from the waste paper basket and left it On the desk.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation? [2007.6/T13]
【解析】答案為C。從解題的正路來分析。男士說:“我真希望沒有扔掉那張閱讀書單?!迸炕卮鹫f:“我估計(jì)你會(huì)后悔的,所以就把它從廢紙簍里撿了出來.放在書桌上了?!币虼薈“女士給男士省去了一些麻煩”正確。但沒聽懂的考生怎么辦?就只能使出絕技“聽到什么就不選什么”了。選項(xiàng)A、B、D中分別出現(xiàn)了對話中的reading list,regrets,waste paper basket,因此選C。
錦囊妙計(jì)2:答非所問。必有弦外之音
在對話中,如果S1(即Speaker 1“第一個(gè)說話者”)說了一般疑問句,S2應(yīng)該怎樣回答呢?S2應(yīng)該回答Yes或No——最開始學(xué)英語的時(shí)候,老師就教過我們這一點(diǎn)了。然而,在聽力對話中,我們經(jīng)常聽到的卻是yes/no的變體。回答中不僅沒有出現(xiàn)yes或no,而且有時(shí)候還會(huì)用問句來回答問句!這時(shí),出題人莊往就會(huì)考查對S2的回答的理解。一般來說。如果S2對S1的一般疑問句不作直接回答。表示S2是一種強(qiáng)烈的否定態(tài)度,或者是一種帶條件的肯定態(tài)度。正確答案即可由此選定。
【例2】A)She read only part of the book.
B)She is interested in reading novels.
C)She seldom reads books from cover to cover.
D)She was eager to know what the book was about.
【錄音】M:Hi,Susan!Have you finished reading the book Professor Johnson recommended?
W:Oh,I haven’t read it through the way I‘d read a novel.I just read a few chapters which interested me.
Q:What does the woman mean? [2007.6/T15]
【解析】答案為A。如果聽到了S2說的“我只讀了我感興趣的幾章”,即可正確作答。如果沒聽清,則可從另一角度來解答本題:S1提出一個(gè)簡單疑問句 “Have you finished reading the book...?”,s2沒有直接用yes或no回答。正確選項(xiàng)往往表示對S1問題的否定回答或帶條件的肯定回答,此處S2是有條件的肯定。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中與 read及the book有關(guān)的只有A項(xiàng).C沒有提到 the book的情況。
【例3】A)The woman is watching an exciting film with the man.
B)The woman can’t take a photo of the mall.
C)The woman is running toward the lake.
D)The woman is filming the lake.
【錄音】M:Look,the view is fantastic.Could you take a picture of me with the lake in the background?
W:I am afraid I just ran out of film.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation? 『2004.1/T2]
【解析】答案為B。S1說:“風(fēng)景美極了,以湖為背景給我照張相好嗎?”S2沒有回答yes或no,只是啰嗦了一通“恐怕我沒有底片了”。其含義當(dāng)然是說 “No”.但其效果就比單純的“No”好得多:我不給你照相是因?yàn)榭陀^原因,而不是我不想。這就免得對方生氣了。這也正是“答非所問”的功能之一。另外。本題也可以用“聽到什么就不選什么”的策略。聽力原文中,film指照相用的“膠卷、底片”,而選項(xiàng)中的film都是指“電影”。正確選項(xiàng)B中的take a photo正是原文中take a picture的同義替換。
錦囊妙計(jì)3:S2簡短回答不簡單
題型特征:對于S1的問話或者聲明,s2的回答分為“簡短回答+詳細(xì)解說”兩部分。簡短同答部分是日??谡Z,很容易聽懂;然而后面緊跟著的解說部分充滿了種種艱深的詞匯,很長、很費(fèi)解。
理解要點(diǎn)。①若詳細(xì)解說前沒有but,則解說部分是對前面簡短回答的補(bǔ)充與說明;②若詳細(xì)解說前有but,則屬于“中but題”,解說部分含義與簡短回答部分相反。由此可以推出答案。
在這種題型中。S2的簡短回答部分是其整個(gè)回答的“先遣部隊(duì)”,對于理解對話、解答問題具有重要的價(jià)值。因此,盡管它相對容易聽懂,但也必須予以高度重視.力求憑借它正確答題。
【例4 】A)He has left the army recently.
B)He quit teaching in June.
C)He has taken over his brother‘s business.
D)He opened a restaurant near the school.
【錄音】W:Are you still teaching at the junior high school?
M:Not since June.***(聽不懂)
Q:What do we learn about the man from the conversation? [2007.6/T14]
【解析】答案為B。S2的后半句話非常長(My brother and I opened a restaurant as soon as he got out of the army.),“很難”聽懂。那么,根據(jù)聽到的內(nèi)容,可以選擇答案嗎?分析聽懂了的部分可知,S1問:你還在教初中嗎?預(yù)期中的回答應(yīng)該是“在”或
者“不在”。而S2回答:6月以來就沒有了。由此,可以毫不猶豫地選擇B項(xiàng)。至于剩下的選項(xiàng)中,均與S1的問題無關(guān)
錦囊妙計(jì)4:強(qiáng)烈語氣題
什么叫“強(qiáng)烈語氣”?真是很難說清楚。如果正常情況下用正常的語法、句型可以表達(dá)某個(gè)意思。而實(shí)際上又沒有用這樣的句型,而是用了特殊的語法結(jié)構(gòu)、語音、語調(diào)表達(dá)特殊含義。其間必然附帶產(chǎn)生特殊的語氣,尤其是表示強(qiáng)烈情感特征的語氣。
在短對話聽力題目中,具有強(qiáng)烈語氣的結(jié)構(gòu)主要有:
*帶升調(diào)的肯定句,表示疑問.例如:And I do?
*否定疑問句,表示感嘆。例如:Isn’t it fantastic?
*一般疑問句,表示建議與不滿,例如:Are you kidding?
*虛擬條件句。表示遺憾或愿望。
*簡短的回答語,如:Really? Oh,no!Terrible!
*用疑問語氣重復(fù)S1話語中的核心詞組,表示懷疑、不贊同或者對S1的進(jìn)一步論述。*特殊的重讀詞匯,表示對比。
*肯定形式的反問句,表示強(qiáng)烈的否定語氣,而否定形式的反問句,表示強(qiáng)烈的肯定語氣。例如:由“Why(not)+動(dòng)詞原形”構(gòu)成的建議句。
對于包含這類強(qiáng)烈語氣的對話題目,其考查的重點(diǎn)往往就是這些特殊話語結(jié)構(gòu)的含義。如果能準(zhǔn)確理解它們,這些題也就可以輕松解答。萬一未能聽懂相關(guān)話語,只是聽出了這樣的特殊語氣,那么,該如何理解對話,從而解題呢?基本原則是:這樣的強(qiáng)烈語氣,是針對前面S1的話而來的。它要么表示對S1的強(qiáng)烈的肯定與支持要么表示對S1的強(qiáng)烈否定。因此,不是正面選答案,就是反面選答案。
【例5】A)The Edwards are quite well-off.B)The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.C)It‘ll be unwise For the Edwards to buy another house.D)It’s too expensive for the Edwards to have in their present house.【錄音】W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow,they are over 70 now,and their present house is not too bad.Q: What does the man imply? [2006.6FF13]
【解析】答案為C。S2的 “Should they be doing that?”句型表明了一種強(qiáng)烈不贊同的語氣,對S1提到的they(即the Edwards)的做法(即buy another house)表示否定。題目問S2的話意,我們只要看哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)否定了they的做法.那就是正確答案。
