第二篇:新东方四级听力笔记
天上砍木材团队
新东方四级听力笔记
上海新东方四级精品班Tom(徐星海)老师主讲
短对话部分
短对话听力的一些原则
1. 推理原则:一般需对对话进行推理,故直接在对话中听到的一般不是正确答案。2. 挫折原则:通常要办的事情都是不顺利的(如买东西买不到,订房间客满等)3. 男女原则:一般男生比较衰,女生比较牛。男生提出的观点女生都是不同意或有不同看法的,反之女生提出的观点男生都是同意和赞赏的。
男生的特征:脏、乱、差、浪费、穷、小气、不良习惯、迟钝、不顾家
女生的特征:爱干净、节约、富有、好学、能干、聪明、大度、耐心、恋家、除数理化外成绩都很好。
4. 父母一般只有一个作用教育子女好好学习
5. 除了父母教育子女外,家里(包括朋友家,阿姨家等等)发生的事情一般是不考的,故遇到地点推测题类似 at home / at Mary’s home之类的选项一般都是不对的。6. 四级听力短对话只考日常生活学习中遇得到事情,问题,故如果选项中出现一些日常生活中不太可能发生或很少发生的事情一般不会是正确选项
短对话十大场景及一般思路
1. 借车:车一般是借不到的
2. 吃:匹萨,海鲜吃了一般会有不适反应,―派‖一般比较好吃
3. 考试:作业、论文一般比较难,或须要熬夜。教授一般比较严厉,选修课较难较多
4. 坐车(飞机、轮船):一般都需要等 5. 事故(灾难):光明原则,一般不会死人
6. 听讲座:题目一般是比较有趣丰富的,内容一般是比较复杂难懂的 7. 论文:一般需要修改(polish)或重写(rewrite)
8. 休闲:男生一般喜欢待在家里看TV或者看movie,女生一般喜欢高雅艺术如theater
9. 医院:需要预约make an appointment 10买票:基本上是买不到的 短对话的常见场景

反意复现:选项与原文表达正好相反,但意思是一样的如:原文说如果怎样就会怎样,选项说如果不怎么样就会如何。十大类标志词

原则:精听,速记,以听为主,以记为辅。如何速记
1. 省略虚词如:如冠词,助动词等
2. 遇到词组记每个单词首字母如 break down 就记作B D,但一定要自己看得懂的
3. 长单词记前三个字母 如:experience 就记作 exp 4. 符号记忆 如:more than 就记作‖>‖ less than 记作 ―<‖ equal to 记作 ―=‖等等
5. 混合记忆 就是把上面几种方法混合起来用,还可以夹杂中文字等等
6. 随便记忆 如果实在一时想不出是什么词,就用拼音,音标或者读音相近的词先把他记下来。总之就是不管对错,先把大致读音记下来再说,然后等有时间再慢慢研究。
7. 无论采取何种记录方法最重要的原则是记得自己看得懂,待会能很方便的回想和复原出来。不要记得到时候自己也想不起来是什么东西。

听之后:after – listening 全面检查和补全前面记录下的东西 1. 检查漏词
a 检查漏掉的:介词(in on at ……),冠词(a an the),代词(it this that ……)
b 漏词缀:漏掉单词前缀,漏掉非谓语形式(―ing‖……),漏掉过去时态(最容易出错的是以下四个短语 decided to / surprised to / learned to / started to)2. 检查错词
a 长单词容易发生拼写错误,要仔细检查一遍
b 短单词容易和同音异义词混淆,检查时要和上下文连起来看看意思是不是对 3. 检查大小写
人名 地名 国家名 时间名(月份什么)节日名 书名 文件名 商标名 历史事件名 宗教名首字都要大写 句首单词首字母也要大写
4. 检查名词单复数,形容词、副词比较级最高级,动词事态,语态
关于最后三句话的听写注意事项和技巧
这个三句话一般比较难,要全部听出来有一定难度。但无论如何有两点要避免,1. 把句子写成一个个单词,把没听见的地方位置空出来。这个是绝对不可取的,老师看都不用看肯定扣分。因为这都不是句子嘛!
2. 把句子的内容不断的涂改,搞的卷面非常难看。这个首先给老师的印象就很恶劣,然后如果有一点点错误本来可以扣0.5分,1分什么的,这下就说不定全部扣光了
所以不管对错都要把句子写成貌似像一个句子,要整洁不要涂涂改改,最好还没有语法错误。一般可以有四种做法:
1. 逐字逐句听写(适合比较简单的句子或比较牛的同学)2. 听懂之后写句子大意,无语法错误(适合于比较长的句子)
比较常用的方法是判断这句话表达的是正面的意思还是反面的意思,正面的意思尝试用 it is good / important 之类的句子改写 反面的意思尝试用 it is bad / harmful 之类的句子改写
3. 前后随便抄一句(反正空着也是空着,就随便写一句咯。:P 因为阅卷老师只有答案没有考卷的啦。对是肯定不对的但总比空着强)
4. 呵呵,连随便抄抄这种方法也讲了,还剩下什么呢?这个我就不说了,估计大多数人也是不会用地说 :)
反正做复合式听写不管听得如何最重要的就是死也不能空着!因为阅卷老师一天要改几百份卷子,空着太醒目了一看就是扣分,而且给老师的第一印象就是这个同学水平很差然后说不定就没兴趣看了。单词实在不会拼,千万不要空着,如有一两个字母吃不准可以写的花一点即像这个又像那个。如果完全不会拼就随便按照发音规则拼一个貌似的单词。句子么前面已经说过了一定要写得貌似一个完整的句子。反正错了是理所当然的因为本来就不对,没什么好后悔,but(强转折)万一阅卷的老师眼神不好算你对了,那是就检了便宜了啦。
最后说几点注意事项
1. 切忌拿到考卷就去翻看作文题,因为那样会打乱你正常的思路,或不知不觉开始构思或造成不必要的紧张,而这都势必会严重影响你听力的效果。作文最后
天上砍木材团队
有专门整块的时间可以构思和写作,完全没有必要这样迫不及待。
2. 拿到考卷后除了填准考证什么的就因马上把思想集中在听力部分,因为这是考试中唯一只有一次机会的题目。机不可失,失不再来。
3. 预读选项应该从最后一篇文章往前读,因为section b 的 direction 很较短且选项难度也较大,所以很可能会来不及读的。所以尤其是后两篇文章的选项一定要先读,第一篇实在来不及还可以在direction时读。但在预读选项时,耳朵一定要注意听 当听到section a 的 direction 读到中间有个―therefore‖这个单词时(这个单词在那个例子讲完后一点),无论看到哪里都马上停下来回到section a 读第一题的四个选项。因为―therefore‖这个单词到第一题开始正好是10秒,而后面每一题的间隔也正好是10秒。大家一定要让自己适应在10秒内读完四个选项,要知道如果来不及的话也就意味着后面的题目你统统都来不及,因为后面的10秒还要去除答前面一题的时间呢。
4. 答题的时间一般最长不要超过4秒至少要留6秒时间给下一道题的预读。前6秒答题,后8秒预读下一题选项。超过4秒还选不出答案的要么就随便选,要么就记下点什么待会再选。而且事实证明在4秒钟之内不能选出答案的,就算选了错误的几率也是非常大的。所以千万不要拼命狂想,否则后面的就是多米诺骨牌式的效应了。
5. 考前注意休息,营养均衡,早餐定时定量。
6. 强烈建议考试当天早上不要看什么单词书,也不要听什么听力,也不要背什么作文。因为对于绝大多数的同学而言,到了这时候再看这些已经不会有什么太大的作用反而只会莫名其妙的增加自己紧张和不安的情绪,而这对于考试绝对是不利的。
7. 对于少部分考试慢热型但心理素质又很好的同学早上也可以随便拿一套听得很熟得真题来听听,但就算要听也一定要听平时听得滚瓜烂熟的千万不要找陌生的来听。(不太推荐)这不是我说的。
8. 古人云,不战而屈人之兵,很大程度上取决于心理因素。所以不要给自己任何负面的心理暗示,早上起来大声地告诉自己我这次一定可以过的,我很强的。然后可以听一些轻音乐之类的舒缓自己紧张的情绪。

[原创]四级听力之——如何备战四级听力
天上砍木材团队
如何备战四级听力(国内部徐星海)引子
如何有效备战四级听力?如何在短时间内大幅提高自身水平?随着十二月份的四级考试的临近,越来越多的考生面临着这样的一个尴尬局面:有时间的时候,忽视了日积月累的复习;而意识到复习的重要性的时候,时间又非常紧迫了。古人云,―不战而屈人之兵‖,意思就是在打仗之前,就已经通过各种各样的非战争因素赢得了战争,胜败已见分晓。同样的,我们四级的考生也一定要赢在起跑线上:建立起正确的迎考态度,按照正确的复习方法和节奏,有条不紊地进行系统的复习工作。心理准备
首先我们必须明确:冰冻三尺,非一日之寒;英语学习是一个长期积累的过程,短期的突击无异于舍本逐末、杯水车薪。然而,这并不意味着我们不能够通过掌握考试规律来调整我们的临考状态、提高我们的应考能力。本文目的就是与广大考生共同分享如何利用应试规律、最大限度地发挥同学们的四级听力水平的。当然,我们还是需要反复强调:英语水平是不可能在短时间内有实质性飞跃的,尽管,考生的应试水平可以通过科学的方法有效地提高。
想要在四级考场中最大程度发挥潜能、取得完胜,考生首先要在心理上取得优势。不仅是对于初次考级的新考生,对于老考生来说,四级的成败很大程度上取决于心理因素。心理上,我们必须戒骄戒躁,排除任何杂念,越是临近考试,就越是要冷静执着,坚韧不拔。考生的心中只需要有一个信念:两个月,我只要两个月复习四级就绰绰有余了,我一定能够毕其功于一役!
同时,我们必须有这样的心理准备:随着四、六级考试改革的深入,会有更多,更新,更难的题目,包括听力题目和题型出现。有了这样的思想准备,一旦出现某种没有预料到的题型,或者是某些罕见的知识点,就反而迎合了我们打硬仗的心理准备。我们就能够真正地在战略上轻视四级考试,在战术上重视四级考试。表现出我不入地狱、谁入地狱的气概。
当然,我们花了大量的时间和精力来复习英语、准备考试肯定不是为收集准考证而来的。所以,一旦在考场中出现一些意想不到的意外情况,我们能够、也必须有处惊不变的能力,及时调整考试心态、从容不迫地应答。须知,四级考试是标准化考试,对于每个考生而言,都是公平的。事实上,历史经验证明:题目要求越是高,难度越是大,考生的发挥余地也就越大。挑战和机遇是正相关的。实战准备
毫无疑问,一个考生的应试水平,其实,也是基于一定的英语基础之上的。所谓弱不受补,任何的技巧和方法都或多或少地需要对于英语有比较基本而扎实的掌握。所以,想要尽快提高自己的应试水平,首先就是要尽快提高自己的英语水平。当然,既然考生的目标非常明确、而且只有一个:四级,那么就应该把有限的时间和精力投入到无限的为四级而准备的工作中去。虽然,同样是测试一个考生的英语语言运用能力,但是国外有雅思考试、托福考试,国内有专业四、八级,大学四、六级等等,她们的考试目的,手段,和评价体系都不尽相同。由此可见,复习四级的最好方法,不过六个字:真题!真题!真题!!可以说,真题的重要性在任何考试中都到了无可复加的地步。只有真题才能够体现出考试的所有特点,四级考试当然也不例外。达成了这个共识,我们就需要解决另外一个问题:如何有效地利用有限的真题。
据统计,保留完整的四级真题不超过三十套,所以,真题的资源是非常有限,甚
天上砍木材团队
至是稀缺的。所以,做真题,不仅仅是一个做题的过程,而且是一个做精做透,精益求精,不断提高的过程。那么怎么样才能在听真题的时候达到以上的要求呢?根据听真题的不同层次,基本上,可以把听题分为以下五个阶段: 1. 初听
众所周知,听真题时的第一感觉是无法取代的。第一次听题,是对考生听力的一次全新考验,所以,大部分考生也非常重视测分。但是由于太重视分数,往往刚听完一个部分就开始对答案,甚至每听一题就对一题的答案。应该说,这样的做法首先干扰了正常的做题程序,而且使考生养成依赖答案的习惯,最后也很难达到预期的做题效果,毕竟,在考场里,考生听题必须一气呵成,在整整二十分钟时间里,根本没有机会休息,更不用说对答案了。所以,第一次听题,最好能够模拟考场的情况,制造考场的气氛,甚至对自己施加一些临考的压力,这样才能够达到理想的听题效果。即使是有个别题目不确定或者没有听清,也必须强迫自己至少在整套真题听完以后再对答案(而不是对照原文),然后再着手寻找问题。2. 听写
在第一遍听题结束以后,考生往往会碰到以下两种情况:一.发觉有些自己犹豫不决的题目猜对了;二.发觉有些犹豫不决的题目改错了。对于这两种情况,考生必须有一个清醒的认识:其实这些题目就像比赛中的机会球一样,做对与否几乎完全取决于运气。所有,无论对错,都应该引起考生的高度重视。另外两种容易被忽略的现象是:一.考生可以在第一次就把握住题目的大意,因此可以比较轻松地把题目答对;二.考生无论如何努力地试图去听也无法把原文中的信息通过听力的手段解构。对于第一种现象,考生必须防止一知半解(只知其一,不知其二),或者是自欺欺人(以为自己完全懂了,其实有些地方根本就没有听到,没有听出来,或者是没有听懂)。而对于第二种现象,有些考生往往就急于求成,在第一时间就翻开原文进行对比研究。这些情况,都是广大考生必须避免的。刚才已经说过,真题的资源是非常稀缺的,因此,在初听之后,考生需要开始一个漫长的细嚼慢咽的消化过程。这个过程,就是做听写练习,不厌其烦地对自己所做的每一道真题进行听写练习,无论对错。这样一来,本来没有暴露出来的问题自然而然也就暴露出来了,本来已经暴露出来的问题则被具体化地落实到了词、词组、和短语等语言基本单位上。如此一来,清者自清、浊者自浊,考生可以从一个非常客观的角度全面审视自己现有的听力水平。3. 整理
当找到自身存在的隐含或者是具体的问题之后,考生就可以开始归纳整理自己在听写中所反映出来的问题了。一般,每个考生的情况不同,因此问题也因人而异。不过有一点可以肯定,如果是小对话题,那么问题基本上可以从单词、词组、口语表达方式、场景及其相关语境词、句型结构、时态、语态语体、和语音语调等几方面进行归类;如果是语段题,那么问题基本上可以从词组、句型结构、语段语篇结构、文章体裁、考点分布、和标志词等几方面来进行归类;而如果是复合式听写,那么问题基本上可以从漏词、错词、大小写、时态语态、数、同音近音词、细节把握、语言归纳整理能力、和句型结构的掌握等几方面来进行归类。通过比较系统地归纳和整理自身暴露出来的问题,考生可以比较一目了然地发觉自身的薄弱环节所在,因此也就有了对症下药的科学依据。而且,考生往往会发觉,由于听力是一门综合性的科目,所以,所谓听力问题,大多数情况下,不仅仅是由于―听力‖出了问题,而且还因为词汇量限制、句型掌握不稳固、语法知识不系统、语言功能掌握不全面、语段语篇理解不透彻等等其它―非听力‖因素而出现障碍。这
天上砍木材团队
样,就要求广大考生能够从自身具体情况出发,结合各种工具书,针对自己的薄弱环节各个击破。4. 跟读
通过以上方法,基本上,考生可以把诗外的功夫做到位,但是如果同学发现自己有些结构看到了就懂了,可是听起来还是很吃力,那又应该怎么办呢?理论上,这是由于考生的视觉和听觉脱钩的关系。也就是说,考生的对于真题的敏感性还没有在听觉这个层次上建立起来。如果说其它部分还可以蒙混过关,那么这对于听力来说就是一个巨大的灾难了。除了极个别题目可以通过选项特征进行判断以外,其它听不懂的题目一般情况下都会牺牲掉,毕竟,四级真题越来越成熟、越来越科学、越来越系统,真题中的迷惑项也随之越来越难以辨别。既然问题是出在―听觉‖上,那么最好的方式就是通过纠正语音来解决问题了。显而易见,听说本为一家,如果考生单纯―听力‖出现问题,那么一般―口语‖也不尽如人意,而考生如果口语水平不俗,那么一般听力也不会差。须知,练习口语和提高听力本身就是个辩证统一的关系,两者紧密联系、相辅相成。对于进入冲刺阶段的考生来说,练习听力,需要不急不徐、戒骄戒躁,既没有时间,不能够从最基本的音标或者是漫无目的地找口语材料进行练习,也不能够急功近利,妄图通过一两次突击就大功告成。实际上,只要有心,考生不难发现:完完整整、踏踏实实地对照听力原文,跟读真题听力磁带五至六遍以后,再回过头来听题,感觉就不可同日而语了。在跟读的过程中,考生切忌贪多,一定要在他人、录音机、复读机、或者其它设备的帮助下纠正自己不良的吐字发音习惯,有条件的话,最好是亲自对照自己的读音和真题读音之间的差别,这样才能够尽快突破语音关,为听力考试打通最后一道关。如果时间允许,考生还需要重点跟读自己在听写练习中暴露出的问题单词、问题句型、或者问题语段结构,在纠正语音的过程中,强化自己的复习成果。5. 背诵
最后的一个阶段,也是最高境界,就是能够对真题了如指掌,做到绘声绘色、惟妙惟肖地模仿,甚至是倒背如流。我们很多教授听力的老师,通过长期的教学实践,已经达到了这个层次,从而对于真题才有不同凡响的见解和分析。不难看出,对于真题越是熟悉的人,无论是考生还是老师,都能够很好地把握听题节奏、做题方法、猜题技巧、从而达到―猛、准、狠‖的最高境界。我们在课上讲授的绝大多数技巧、场景、原则、关键词、特殊句型、甚至是答题的感觉都是以大量背诵作为基础的。一般地说,一个考生只要能够达到背诵考点的水平(与全文背诵相比较还是相对容易的),就可以轻松应付四级听力考试了。毕竟,四级听力考试所能够测试的知识点和考点范围有限,考生一旦能够对所有测试点如数家珍,那么考试本身已经不成为问题了,因为,这时候的考生已经突破了应付考试的层次,真正达到了提升英语水平的阶段了。这听起来似乎遥不可及,其实不然。考生在有一定语感的基础上,通过可以诵读五、六遍就已经能够对测试点有一个基本印象了,然后根据艾宾浩斯的记忆曲线,连续记忆三天就可以过关了。到时候,考生再回首看自己曾经做过的卷子、错过的题,不禁会扼腕痛惜:这种程度的题目我也会做错? 其它准备
在了解了听真题的各个阶段以后,考生还需要把握复习的节奏。一般,由于四级听力资源的匮乏,考生如果在考试前有充裕的时间复习,那么应该在保证质量的前提下完成复习任务。每个星期的做题量应该控制在一至两套之间,力求听一套、天上砍木材团队
记一套、看一套、读一套、背一套,套套入心。直到考试前一个月才开始真正发力,使自己渐渐进入临考状态,一般以一天一套为宜。如果考生发现自己在听力的A部分或者B部分的后半段明显答题正确率下降,那么就表明:考生在体力方面的准备仍然不充分。那么,考生应该结合自身情况在保证休息的前提下,适当加大听题力度,进行超负荷训练,提高自己考试听力的耐力水平。
然后,我们需要一个切实可行的详细到每一天的复习计划。虽然每个考生的情况不同,本身水平,备考时间,心理期待都有所差异,但是,有一点是共同的:在最后的两个月里,挑战极限、追求卓越,即使是面对绝望,也要在绝望中寻找希望!
其次,也是更为重要的一点,就是要步步为营、一步一个脚印地合理安排备考时间,实施这个计划。一般情况下,我们认为,一天24小时中,有6个小时是英语考级听力的黄金复习时间。这6个小时分别在早8点到10点,中午12点到14点,晚上20点到22点。
一日之际在于晨,拥有清晨日出的人,就拥有一天的阳光。在早晨宝贵的时间里,由于没有前摄抑制,我们记忆能力将达到的高峰时期。而且,作为四级考试的第一部分,听力恰在9点至10点的时间进行答题。在早晨的时间段进行考级听力练习可以达到记忆和调整生物钟的双重功效,可谓事半功倍。
而中午则是大多数同学休息的时候,这段时间里,我们的注意力很难集中。如果在这段时间里进行考级听力练习,其实是对一个考生体力的考验。当然,我们不提倡通宵达旦的题海战术,只是要求广大考生做好打疲劳战的准备。因为考试时由于心理紧张,会加速人体的疲劳,所以,我们必须强迫自己适应在最艰苦的条件下连续作战。然而,考前的休息也异常重要,所以,我们就牺牲中午休息的时间,做一些高强度的训练。
到了晚上则更不待言,很多考生的大部分复习时间就是在晚上白白流逝的。其实晚上的时间没有后摄抑制,也是人的记忆高峰。与其进行其它的娱乐休闲活动,或者背单词背到走神,不如强迫自己反复聆听四级真题、做听写练习,使自己对各种题型、各种考点了如指掌、倒背如流。
其实,在考试迫在眉睫的时候,同学们往往容易进入一种混乱的临考状态。这种状态比较突出的表现是日夜颠倒,该休息的时候睡不着、夜不能寐,可是一拿起书就昏昏欲睡、欲罢不能。尤其是在专业课和全国四、六级考试纷至沓来的时候,很多同学更是发扬连续作战的精神,通宵达旦,头悬樑、锥刺骨,结果影响了正常的作息,反而使自己陷于被动,很难正常发挥。这对于像四、六级考试这样的高强度考试而言是有百害而无一益的。道理很简单,四、六级考试对于一个学生来说,不仅是一次英语水平的综合测试,也是一种意志力、甚至是体力的考验。没有良好的休息作为后盾,考生很难笑到最后。所以,保证充足的睡眠是最基本也是首要的应试技巧。
尤其是在考试最后一天,没有充足的睡眠,考生在考场里很容易出现幻听、重听等现象,严重影响听力考试的技战术水平发挥。须知,听力考试是四级考试中唯一的只有一次答题机会的题型,错过任何一个字都不可能重来。而遗失任何一个考点就等于把考生推上绝路,不仅对本题解答会产生不良影响,更可能引起心理暗示的连锁反应,打乱考生考试节奏,引发多米诺股牌效应,从而棋错一招、满盘皆输。
最后,营养的摄入在最后关头也是异常重要的一环。在保证充分睡眠的同时,食物是另一个―工夫在诗外‖的非考试因素。尤其是参加四级考试的同学,早餐一定要
天上砍木材团队
定时定量,不可或缺。一般来说,类似奶酪酥这样的奶制品外加一杯热牛奶或者热巧克力已经足以提供整个半天考试所需的热量。当然,这也因人而异。对于内火较旺的同学来说,红枣莲心汤就是更好的选择了。有些体质虚弱的同学也可以考虑服用一些如西洋参、鸡精、保健饮料这样的营养品。不过,安眠药或者兴奋剂等有副作用的药物一定要慎用,否则过犹不及。总结
我们说在两个月内完成四级的考级任务并不仅仅是空洞的技巧和捷径,因为任何的技巧都需要一定的积累作为基础,而任何的捷径只是一条比较近的路而已,都是由人走出来的。所以,我们一方面需要放松心态、轻装上阵;另一方面又需要脚踏实地、苦干加巧干。
在具体的复习过程中,我们首先应该对自己有一个基本的认识,也就是说,要了解自己的水平怎么样。当然,如果至今都没有完整地做过任何一套四级真题的同学是不知道自己的水平以大学英语四级的标准来衡量到底达到什么程度的。所以,从这两个月里的第1天起,我们就必须开始做题。每天只需要做一至两套,但是务必做精做透。
这样做,唯一的好处就在于通过试着完整地做历年四级真题,考生就能够找出自己在四级标准下的薄弱环节。找到了这样的薄弱环节,就可以进行有针对性的强化练习,填补自己在知识结构上的漏洞。由于听力考试是一门综合性的考试,考察的不仅是学生的听能,更是学生在词汇,阅读,归纳分析等等方面的综合能力,所以,在听力上有问题的同学,往往问题不仅仅在听能上,他其它部分的答题通常也是差强人意的。但是如果我们能够通过听力找到自己在整个英语体系中体现出来的问题,不管是发音、词汇、语法、还是阅读能力,那么就可以达到一箭双雕的效果了。
当然,四级考级复习是一个庞大而系统的过程。在这个过程中还要注意的一个要点就是要将任务大而化小,小而化了。反复练习考试听力时,不要以整套真题、整个部分、或者整个语段为单位,而是应该以最小的单位进行反复的复习。小对话题至少划分到每一题,语段题至少划分到每一段,而听写题则最好划分到每一句。这样不仅使需要解决的问题变得很明确,而且容易使考生在复习过程中有掌握一个新的知识点或者考点的成就感。
具体的复习过程中,考生要不忘加强基础的训练。把听力原文中有限的生词、词组、语法现象(如常考的虚拟语气,省略,重要时态等)、句型(如建议类句型,附和句型与否定句型等)以及场景都尽可能详尽地掌握。如果连看着原文都不能够弄懂,那么要把原文听懂就更加无法想象了。虽然,自然状态下,人们学习语言是由听力首先入手的,但是作为第二语习得,我们对学习英语大多从阅读开始的,所以如果连阅读也不能够达到四级听力的要求,提高听力水平只能够是空中楼阁、空谈而已。因此,正确的顺序应该是首先利用听力材料练习听力,在无法听懂的情况下对照原文,如果还是不懂,那么就参考译文。接下来,在书面认知的基础上,再循环地进行听力练习。基础不牢、地动山摇,没有扎实的英语功底是绝对不会有听力这个上层建筑的。空着手上战场,只会在痛苦中被消灭的!具体的复习过程中,考生还要克服语音障碍,在实践中加强对单词的语音敏感度的练习。大多数考生记忆单词过程实际上是手眼并用的过程,往往容易忽略对于耳朵的刺激。所以,很多考生反映当看到时觉得异常简单非常亲切,可是听到时就完全不同了。是的,仅凭视觉和触觉记忆,而没有足够的语音信息的输入,加上对不同的语音系统准备不足,会轻而易举地导致熟悉的单词一旦从磁带中放出
天上砍木材团队
来就完全是判若两词的感觉。现在,如果考生再去购买配备磁带的词汇书,跟读、做听写固然有效,可是效果非常有限,原因就在于你已经没有时间再单独地进行语音输入练习了。目前,唯一可行的方法就是反复听真题。这样一来,既能够在有限的时间里克服语音输入的障碍,又能够熟悉四级考题,可谓一举两得。当然,在听音的过程中还必须注意英美音的发音现象。刚才说过,四级是一个混合的语音系统,这就要求所有考生对于不同发音有很快的反应,迅速在两种语音之间自由切换。接下来,我们还需要注意两种比较常考的语音现象:连读和失爆。当然,特殊的语音现象绝对不止两种,可是就像马泰效应所提出的―贫者愈贫、富者愈富‖的理论一样,考过的语音现象总是一而再、再而三地成为考点。仅以连读为例,full up /ful`(p/,office hours /%fi`sau*s/这样的连读已经在四级考卷中屡见不鲜,成为必考的知识点。
具体的复习过程中,考生也需要扩大自己的阅读面。综上所述,今年来的语段和听写题频繁涉及一些自然科学技术的发展以及社会科学中的话题。无论是环境保护、自然生物知识、英美国家人文知识、大学机构介绍、特色服务、还是社会问题等内容都能够在四级听力的试题中有所体现。这样,就要求广大考生对于社会生活的方方面面有一些基本的关注和了解,这种平时的积累有助于迅速熟悉甚至预测听力语段的主题和走向,帮助考生轻松理解原文,根据自己日积月累的常识,对于某些常识题进行预先的判断。这对于考生临场发挥、提高解题自信心相当有帮助。
鲁迅先生说过,世界上本没有路,走的人多了也就成了路。我们要善于在学习实践中发现、总结和运用规律,这样才能够在复习迎考的过程中事半功倍,百尺竿头、更进一步。路漫漫其修远兮,愿以此文抛砖引玉。

歌曲 Sealed with a kiss
Though we're gonna say goodbye for the summer
darling I promise you this
I'll send you all my love everyday in a letter sealed with kiss
Cause it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness I'll send you all my love
Everyday in a letter sealed with a kiss
I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won't be there
I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss sealed with a kiss
注:wanna=want to
gonna=going to
歌曲 Take me home, Country Roads
John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered „round her
Miner‟s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads

11.A)They often take place in her major industries.B)British trade unions are more powerful.C)There are more trade union members in Britain.D)Britain loses more working days through strikes every year.12.A)Such strikes are against the British law.B)Such strikes are unpredictable.C)Such strikes involve workers from different trades.D)Such strikes occur frequently these days.13.A)Trade unions in Britain are becoming more popular.B)Most strikes in Britain are against the British law.C)Unofficial strikes in Britain are easier to deal with now.D)Employer-worker relations in Britain have become tenser.Strikes are very common in Britain.They are extremely harmful to its industries.In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain.The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries.There are over 495 unions in Britain.Some unions are very small.Over 20 have more than 100, 000 members.Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages.They also educate their members.They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions.Trade unioners say that we must thank the unions for the great
improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years.It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union.This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently.Employers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted.However, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law.As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.In what way are strikes in Britain different from those in other European countries?(开头)
12.Why are British employers so afraid of unofficial strikes?(most, because)
13.What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?(结尾As a result)

15.A)How to handle spiders.B)Spiders in the United States.C)People' s fear of spiders.D)A special kind of spider.16.A)Most spiders will not bite even when handled.B)Most spiders are poisonous and dangerous.C)Most spiders are likely to attack people.D)Most spiders have sharp eyes.17.A)Because she cannot find a husband for herself.B)Because the female spider is larger than the male one.37 C)Because the female spider often eats her husband.D)Because she is a black female spider.You should not fear spiders because of their poison.Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled.They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk.Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack.Actually, it cannot see the person in its way.The spider is too short-sighted to see things at a distance.It only wants to go where it will not be disturbed.In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest.It is the Black Widow.So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love.The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west.She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of rowans or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed.She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands.When she bites, it is usually in self-defence.In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal.But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected.Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.15.What is this passage mainly about?
16.What do we learn about spiders from the passage?(only, most)
17.Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow?(because)

11.A)The color of the dog.43
B)The price of the dog.C)Whether the dog will fit the environment.D)Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.12.A)It must be trained so it won't bite.B)It needs more love and care.C)It demands more food and space.D)It must be looked after carefully.13.A)They are less likely to run away.B)It's easier for their masters to train them.C)They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D)It's easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives.If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog.But in part, the decision depends on common sense.Most breeds were originally developed to perform specific tasks.So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics.You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the country and can let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets.Whereas cats identify with the house and so are content if their place there is secure, a dog identifies with its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby-dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master.If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their stronger relationship will always be with dogs.They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.What' s mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?
12.Why does the speaker say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?
13.Why is it advised to buy baby dogs under three months old?

Probably you cannot answer that question quickly.In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year.Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year.Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other
countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China.In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400.The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant.Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years.Parchment was very strong;it was made from the skin of certain young animals.We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17.Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper?
18.When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely?
19.Which of the following countries uses most paper for each person a year?
20.What is the main idea of this short talk?

讲故事文章
故事的结局发人深省 起因、经过、高潮、结局 技巧:
1.听之前看选项 1.1.选项的长短
1.1.1短:文章的出题顺序和行进顺序,严格一致的,边听边做 1.1.2长:听之前找相同词,相同词的内容范围对象 1.2.数字
1.2.1短对话:考查数字加减乘除四则运算
1.2.2段落题:文章只出现一个数字时听到什么选什么;文章出现多个数字时,多
选一要简单记下数字的背景
2.抓住文章的开头和结尾
2.1当文章出现停顿意味着文章结尾
2.2出现重复词时,意味着文章结尾,记下这个词 2.3出现so , therefore , as a result , thus时,意味着文章结尾 3.中间抓小词:first , most , because , only , just , but , however 4.补救措施:务必要把文章提的问题听清楚,利用常识解题
说明性文章
中心思想题
特征:main , idea , mainly , telling out 解题思路:抓中心词,主题词
常见正确选项的小词:development , effect , evolution , formation , and
现象解释题
现象就是主题
中立concerned / neutrality 把握考试原则
Compound Dictation 第一遍只做1~7题(单词),8~10(句子)听大意,第二遍才做8~10 创建属于自己的符号体系
十以内写英文,十以上写阿拉伯数字 首字字母大写
抓主干,去修饰成分
解题步骤
看选项:找相同词。 听两头:选熟悉的选项。
文章的两头是一篇文章的重点,文章的开头是观点(Idea),既是文章的Topic。而中间是细节,是用来支持观点的论据(example)。听段子,听结构。文章的开头与结尾要出考题。一般正确选项基本会是原文的重现(copy)。所以能做到边听边记。具体需要听的是开头的名词,选答案时要优先选含有该名词的选项。
抓小词:极端词(first,most,just,only,because)。 用常识:正常推理
短文的分类及对策
主观题:又称态度题(Attitude)
1)考题特点:选项出现四个形容词。
2)解题方向:Speaker的态度反映在文中的形容词或副词。注重fortunately,luckily,unfortunately这样的具有感情色彩的词。但凡听力中的短文,Speaker对于谈论的对象,不论是人物还是事物,都可能有双向评论。但在CET听力中,如果未能听出态度方向,只要选正态度就可以了。因为反驳的文章比介绍性的文章复杂得多。典型的短文往往会说一个人对人类社会,或对某一个团体有着伟大的贡献。或叙述某个组织,某个机构有创新的,划时代的意义的活动。
客观题:即数字题。问及时间,多少,年代。在短对话中的数字题的对策是听到什么不选什么,因为你听到的是原始数据还要经过运算才是最终结果(正确选项)。但是在短文题中,听到哪个就选哪个,因为不考运算。1)考题特点:选项都有数字。
2)解题策略:听题前第一步看选项时,如果看到数字题,就把笔放在此处,随时准备记录。听到什么,选什么。如果有两个数字先都记下来。在听问题时再进一步排除。
宏观题:即中心思想题(Main idea/Topic题)。
1)考题特点:What is the passage mainly about?;What is the passage talking about?;What is the main idea of this talk?等。2)解题对策:
i.从选项入手。抓住Keyword ii.从短文入手。注意开头结尾。抓文中的高频词。
iii.从选项入手。含有Keyword,高频词,first,development,formation,invention,evolution,effects,and正确可能性大。
微观题:抓住(first,most,just,only,because)文章表达思想的亮点。

新东方名师教你考前二十天高效冲击四级听力
作者:北京新东方学校国内考试部 赵建昆
离2008年6月大学英语新四级考试时间仅剩下二十多天,分值最高、题型最多、难度最大的听力考试最值得考生铆足精力,认真准备。我想对考生说:也许你无法决定结果,但是你一定可以控制过程。
6月1日至5日:
强化词汇短语复习
先不要关注听力纷繁多样的题型,给自己五天时间,通过2000年1月到2007年12月约十六套左右四级真题,考生首先要把所有熟悉的和不熟悉的词汇短语强化复习一遍,为后面的复习打好词汇基础。寻找真题可通过网上下载,但通常都无法得到听力部分的原文。所
以,建议买一本真题练习册。
拿到真题后,要将所有听力题目(对话类、短文类、听写类)、听力原文部分不懂的单词、短语、句式,全部查清楚,搞透彻,总结和查询的时间不会超过三四个小时。接下来几天,要用足十八般武艺将它们记忆清楚。最好的方式是多听。
这五天进行的基础工作能够让你更好地应对新题目中的单词和短语,因为真题之间题目
元素重合概率很高。
