Passage 1

Body language, especially gestures, varies among cultures.For example, a node of the head means “yes” to most of us.But in Bulgaria and Greece a node means “no” and a shake of the head means “yes”.Likewise, a sign for OK, forming a circle with our forefinger and thumb, means zero in France and money in Japan.Waving or pointing to an Arab business person would be considered rude because that is how Arabs call their dogs over.Folded arms signal pride in Finland, but disrespect in Fiji.The number of bows that the Japanese exchange on greeting each other, as well as the length and the depth of the bows, signals the social status each party feels towards each other.Italians might think your bored unless you use a lot of gestures during discussions.Many American men sit with their legs crossed with one ankle resting over the opposite knee.However, this would be considered an insult in Muslim countries, where one will never show the sole of the foot to a gust.Likewise, Americans consider eye contact very important, often not trusting someone who is afraid to look at you in the eye.But in Japan and many Latin American countries, keeping the eyes lowered is a sign of respect.To look apart in the eye is considered a sign of ill breeding and is felt to be annoying.Q16: What gesture do Bulgarians and Greeks use to express negative responses? Q17: What is likely to offend Arab business people? Q18: What is considered impolite in Muslim countries?

第三篇：大学英语四级短文听力

大学英语四级短文听力：提问方式及解题对策

短文听力的提问方式最常见的有4种类型。

1.中心思想题。这类问题主要是测试文章的主题思想。

提问方式有：What is the main idea of the passage? What can we learn from this passage? What is the best title for this passage? What is the passage mainly about? What is the speaker talking about?等等。

做这一类题时一定要注意集中精力听好短文的开头，因为四级听力短文一般会开门见山，把中心思想置于文章的开头。另外，如果文中反复出现同一词汇或同一类词汇，同样也值得我们特别注意，因为包含有这类词汇的选项能较好地体现中心思想，通常就是正确答案。

2.事实细节题。所考察的细节包括具体时间、地点、主要人物或事件、各种数字等，问题一般为wh-question的形式。

这类题要求我们听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感，及时做好笔记；另外，文中一旦出现以因果连词(如because, so, due to等)和转折连词(如but, however, though等)引导的句子也要格外留心，这些地方往往就是考点。

3.对错判断题。这类题常用以下提问方式：Which of the following is true/not true, according to the passage? Which of the following is not mentioned?等等。听到这类题时，一定要听清提问，对于有没有not一词要弄清楚。一般情况下，not一词会重读。

4.推理推测题。这类题需要对文中的信息进行分析推断，才能作出正确的选择。提问方式有：What can be infer from the passage? What does the speaker think about the problem...? What does the speaker most concerned about? How does the writer feel about...?等等。

做这类题时一定要注意与短文内容一样的不是推断，而且一定要根据短文的观点而不是根据自己的观点来推断。

第四篇：2017.06英语四级听力长对话解析-新东方在线

英语四级听力长对话解析【李旭】

新东方在线四六级

大家好，我是新东方在线四级听力主讲老师李旭，在2017年6月的四级听力考试中，长对话这部分当中，看到在课上聊过很有意思的特点，两个人说话一个人相对重要，一个人相对次要的特点。

我们一起看这么一小组内容，男的说Hi, Susan!You’re looking very smart today.女的回答I always look smart, James.Actually I’m on my way to a job interview.这样的对白在你耳边出现的时候，你应该马上能够想出来，答案基本来自于女的话语，男的是打招呼的。男的先打招呼，听说你今天看起来很伶俐，女的更有意思，废话，我总是很伶俐，紧接着就说了Actually I’m on my way to a job interview，这个事就解释清楚了。紧接着男的又问，What job?，你有没有注意到男的不断的扮演提问的角色，女的在不断回答，你们在做对话的时候，是不是把重心放在女人的话语当中。男的问她是不是假期找工作，女的说Yeah, there is only two weeks to go, I’ve got a second interview with that big foreign accountancy firm in the city center.。那么想一下accountancy指的是什么，是会计，会计公司，在in the city center。紧接着整个第一组对白内容就出现了，第一道题问的是Where will Susan probably get a job?在哪儿会有工作，是不是就在会计公司，答案来自于女人的话语。

紧接着话语再往下进行，女的说The record is just helping out with the data input.没看到选项前，也能猜想出这四道题的选项都是工作的内容，带着想法去听，就会发现她的工作内容就是输入各种数据，答案还是出自女人的话语。紧接着话锋一转，男的说if they take you on, tell them you have a friend who’d be really good too.，如果他们要是录取你的话，一定告诉他们你还有一个朋友特别擅长这事，这个男也要找工作。再往下看，这男的为什么找工作，下面说I really need the money and the experience will look good on my resume.这个叫做我需要钱，而且他能够让我的简历上多一个工作阅历，会使得我的简历看着更好，第十题问的是Why does James want the job in that company，他为什么想在这个公司也获得一个工作，因为他需要钱，而且the experience will look good on my resume。

紧接着后面又做对话，女的说Ok, we’ll do.If the boss likes me, I’ll mention it I’ll phone you afterwards.如果老板喜欢我的话我会跟他提这个事，.It will be good to have someone around who I know.我周围如果有认识的人，工作起来会好一点。Right perhaps you should put in an application anyway.你现在得先交个简历，紧接着对白的最后出了一个词listen，这是一个提示词，谢谢你，你想不想要一个lift，就是我开车带你一段的意思。? I have my dad’s car today and have nothing to do this morning.意思是今天我爸的车在我这儿，我开车带你去。

紧接着在对话的最后一个回合，有没有看到这么一个东西by the way，by the way的作用是提出一个新的，跟之前没有关系的内容。By the way, how is your knowledge of accountancy?你是怎么知道会计的事情，The interviewer may ask you about it.The interviewer面试官会问你关于会计的事情。男的说, I think I can survive.Survive本意是幸存，我觉得没事，这个面试我觉得我能过的了。term是术语的意思，我得复习一些术语。Maybe you can give me a practicing interview first.男的最后向女的发出一个请求，你能不能给我来一个面试的测试，或者面试的模拟，能不能先帮帮我。最后这个男的准备面试的时候，可能要复习几个术语，并且做一个practice。整个对话套路来看就是我们说的第二句重心运用，在对话说话当中答案更多的来自于女人的话语。

如果你考到篇章这部分你会觉得非常简单。我们来看Facebook这篇，Facebook你要不熟的话，朋友圈微信你总熟吧，文章所谈的内容跟这个也差不多。facebook，文章讲的是一个叫做Catherine，不管中间跟家人隔多远，都跟家人保持联系。Times zone指的是时区，在facebook也不用考虑什么不同的时区，他们要去是不是给家打电话，是不是在睡觉，还是在教堂呢，大家知道在教堂是不能接电话的。当他开了facebook帐户的时候，他的高中同学就开始加他，刚开始的时候，他觉得挺好的。你注意听力里边只要出现at first，起初怎么怎么样，后面一定会做强转折。起初他觉得这事没有关系，他特别想知道，当他十几岁的时候，认识的那些朋友现在在事业上获得了成功，他很开心。时间久了还会开心吗，各位可以结合自己的经历，在朋友圈里边看到别人晒幸福，撒狗粮，你会特别不喜欢看。等四六级过了之后发榜的时候，容易干这事。如果同学们过了四级考试，千万别干这事。话锋一转，你看他说什么。

下面说很快他发现有很多人在朋友圈里，在facebook比他做的好的多，他非常难过，整个篇章讲的就是这么一件事，里边谈Facebook你如果平常看看朋友圈，很容易就答对。第一道题问的是为什么Facebook非常方便。第二道题他的朋友加他，第三道题，他为什么感觉难过，因为他朋友成功跟自己比较而言觉得自己是失败的，所以非常难过。

这次考试有的同学说难度太大了，说实话这次考试，从字面难度来看不算大，一般。如果你觉得你拿到的这套卷子难度特别大，也别担心，简单的说如果这道题你答错了，别人也错了，这个就没有分，如果别人对了，你也对了，你那的分也少。

我直播的时候，同学问我有没有办法临阵磨枪，为什么你现在四级听不懂，在录播课讲的时候，四级考试是重能力的，你听不懂谁也帮不了你。虽然我们有一些考试技巧，但在考场里有没有遇到过收音机声音不好，或者在考场里，前面拿大音响放的，所以，你现在就要开始学，你为什么跟不上，单词为什么读出来因为你没有大声把这些词读出来。你看男的用的是英式，女的用的是美式发音，你应该学习一下这两者之间的区别。所以请同学们痛定思痛，重新想一下自己接下来怎么处理六级，将来考研复试的时候也会有六级的考试，把规则都学会，万变不离其宗。关于这次考试，难度一般，只有较强的时效性，考题是比较预定的，未来也相对有效。更多的告诉各位，下一回准备六级考试，或者四级考试刷分，你需要做的事情是从基础提高对单词的反应速度，搞清楚连读规则，从根本能力上加以提升。加上老师在新东方在线给大家讲的考试技巧，我们最后在考试的时候拿到更加理想的分数，我们这次考完了，老师预祝各位考试过过过。

第五篇：新东方英语四级笔记——听力第一课

新东方英语四级笔记——听力第一课

第一课 为什么听不懂

在这里推荐一下一个对我英语四级听力有很大影响的新东方英语老师，李旭老师，他之前是做播音主持的，后来来到新东方教英语。为什么喜欢他呢，觉得他说话比较实在，讲的内容也比较容易听懂。话不多说，开始第一课吧。

一、为什么我们听不懂

1、习惯问题。

举例说明：当我们听汉字时，我们可以直接从音到义，但是听英语时中间就会有一个停顿，过程是音到形再到义，换句话说当我们想到义时，别人听力早就念着走了。比如当你听到“What you say if i buy your some hamburgers after the lecture.“当我们听到这句话时，我们会翻一下白眼然后再想，他到底在说什么。而按照四级每分钟120个单词的速度，也就是每秒2个单词的速度，我们翻一下白眼至少有6个单词被我们忽略。

1.那为什么出现这种情况呢？

答案就是我们背单词的习惯，想想我们以前背单词的时候，一般都是左边写英文，右边写汉字。情况

一、挡住英文根据汉字去想英文怎么写，我们练的是写作词汇。情况

二、挡住汉字去看英文，然后想这汉字是什么意思，我们练的是阅读词汇。我们可以注意到整个过程被大家忽略掉的就是怎么发音，很多人会说我发音不好听怎么办。这里引用一下李老师原话”你发音难听，难受的又不是你"。

2.3 如果不读会有什么影响？ 第一类

词

1)apple、banana这类词我们一听就知道意思(总结一下这类词是我们熟悉的)2)thunderboit霹雳火这类词我们一听马上晕了(总结一下这类词是我们不熟的)3)hamburger汉堡包这类词我们一听感觉认识，但又突然想不起(总结一下这类词是我们最应该努力掌握的)总结：背单词一定要记住怎么发音，只有多读才能在脑中产生印象。

3.4 难点单词积累

steady 稳定的 nursery 托儿所 saddle 马鞍

surrender 投降

scale

stale

过期的、腐坏的 rouse

inherit 遗传 prejudice 偏见

vicious 凶恶的 torture 拷问、折磨

prosperous 繁荣的 pin
