(二)猜 通过选项所表达的意思猜题目与文章的主题
(三)验证 带着自己的猜测有针对性的听内容
二、题型解析
对话部分(长对话、短对话)是日常生活中的一般对话,即衣、食、住、行、工作、学习等话题,可分为校园、公共场所、家庭等方面
短对话共8段,以一问一答的对话形式出现。本题每段对话只播放一遍,且每道题的问题是在对话结束后才以口语的形式给出的,故考生要提前通观选项,集中注意力。
本题几个道数 5—6道,推荐准确数量 7—8道
重点场景:Airport机场(flight)restaurant hotel 旅馆
重点主题:Campus life校园生活 job-hunting 找工作
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 短对话——
1、场景地点题:考查学生对对话地点及人物去向的判断(test 1 第18题 P2---P8)
常见提问方式:
Where does the conversation probably take place? Where is the woman going? Where are the two speakers?
2、身份职业题: 由于说话人之间的关系不同,其用词、造句、语气都有差异,要求学生在正确捕捉相关信息的前提下判断、推测人物间的关系及身份。(T2 第14题 P14---P20)(T4 第12题 P38---P44)常见提问方式:
Who is the man/woman?
What is the man’s/woman’s job/profession/occupation? What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? Who is the man/woman most probably speaking to?
3、时间、数字计算题:要求考生在听题的过程上获取相关的数字信息,或对数字、时间表达做出准确辨别,或根据题意对已获得的时间、数字进行简单的加、减、乘、除运算,就比率和倍数关系进行换算。常见提问方式:T2 第13题 P14---P20 T3 第17题 P26---31
How much/many? How far/long? What time„? When„? When will„? How long will the man do?
4、因果关系题:此类题型较难,原因有二:(1)原因的阐述通常会出现在第一句,因而易被忽视;(2)信号词少,听完完整的表述后才明白其题型重点。T5 第13题 P50---P55
常见提问方式:
Why can’t the woman eat with the man? Why is the woman/man worried? 常用表达法:
单词: because, as, for , since, in that, hence, therefore, consequently, cause, reason 词组: due to, owing to, because of, thanks to, on account for, as a result, result from, result in, lead to, give rise to, contribute to, attribute to, now that, so that, so„that, such„that, in order to, be responsible for
5、建议请求题:说话人中的一方提供某种帮助或提出某种请求,另一方做出肯定或否定的反应,或一方提出某种想法与建议,而另一方对此做出反应。重点考查考生对建议或请求句型的掌握和对谈话者语气表达的理解。
常见的提问方式:T6 第18题 P61--P67
What did the man/woman suggest? What did the man/woman want? What did the man ask the woman to do? What did the man offer the woman? What is the man’s/woman’s advice? 建议:
You might as well„ If I were you, I’d „ Maybe you should„ shall we ?„ Why not? Why bother? Why don’t you„? You’d better„ You’ll have to„ How about„„?
请求:
I wonder if„ Would you mind „ Would you like to„ Will you please„? Could you do me a favor? How about„? 接受:
Thank you I’d love to, thanks OK.Great(good)idea It’s very nice of you doing so
拒绝:
No thanks.Thank you all the time.It’s so kind of you, but„ Sorry„ No, I don’t think it necessary.If I „.I would do that
6、观点态度题:考生根据对话内容的关键词、上下文甚至语气、语调的内涵意义并利用逻辑思维能力进行判断,需对所传递的信息进行比较深层次的理解。T6第13题 P61--P66 T5第15题 P50---P55
常见的提问方式:
How does the man/woman feel about? What does the man/woman think of„? What does the man/woman say about„? What does the man/woman mean? 相关词汇:
否定意义副词:Never, scarcely, seldom, rarely, hardly, barely, unable, impossible, incapable, unnecessary, unbelievable, little, ill-minded, no one, nobody, none, nothing, neither, nor, dislike, ignore, fail, refuse, hate, stop„from, miss, deny, overlook, keep„from, far from, anything but, without, instead of, run out of , short of, too„to„

not impossible, not untrue, can’t„agree any more, not unusual, not single, absent, no one„but(2)all, every, many, always not 为部分否定,并非全部,不是每个(3)虚拟语气表假设,即为非真实情况
7、虚拟语气题:此题型为听力题型中较难的一种,因为所有解题都得靠听来获取信息,一旦漏跌或错听关键词,句子的难度就增大。
相关语法:
1.If所引导的非真实条件句:与现在、过去、将来事实相反的结构搭配;倒装结构;错综条件句;含蓄条件句 If he could(Could/should/had/were he)lend us a helping hand, he would do so.But for, without, otherwise 2.Wish, if only, would that, as if 引导的虚拟语气 3.固定的结构 it is time that+ did Would rather + did
8、含义推断题:要求考生根据两个对话者所谈的内容进行进一步的推断,从更深层次上考查考生对对话内容的理解程度。T4 第18题 P39---P44
常见提问方式:
What does the man/woman imply? What can be inferred from the conversation? What do we learn about the man/woman/conversation?

第三次课 复合式听 T4 P47 T9 P103 复合式听写答题顺序及技巧
1.对全文进行全局性预览:尤其是第一句(topic)和最后一句(conclusion)。
2.观察空格前后的特殊现象,判断词性、单复数、时态,可分为以下几类:
(1)名词位置判断:
A、the之后是名词;介词后面是名词;动词前面是名词;No后面是名词。
(2)动词位置判断:
To后面是动词;主语后面是动词;情态动词后面是动词。(3)形容词位置判断:
Be后面是形容词;名词前面是形容词。(4)副词位置判断:
动词后面是副词。
听之时:while-listening
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。
5.混合记忆,就是把上面几种方法混合起来用,还可以夹杂中文文字等。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,如:介词(in、on、at)、冠词(a、an、the)、代词(it、this、that)等。
2.检查错词
(1)长单词容易发生拼写错误,要仔细检查一遍。
(2)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否正确。
3.检查大小写
人名、地名、国家名、时间名(月份)、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,句首单词的首字母也要大写。
4.检查名词单复数,形容词、副词比较级最高级,动词时态、语态。
一.词汇听写: 1.大小写问题:专有名词,句子开头
2.单词各音节间的辅音字母注意是否双写。success, process, necessary, recommend.3.一个音节之中注意元音的拼写。
4注意不发音的字母:island, exhausted, isle(小岛), comb.5检查词尾的变形
1)名词:单数,复数,所有格,非谓语动词与谓语动词(ed, ing, s)形式,填原型的很少见。
2)形容词注意比较级以及以al结尾的形容词。Natural,personal, emotional, artificial, additional 3)副词结尾的ly:wholly, completely, emotionally.容易拼错的词:
Campaign, species, apparent, calendar, category ,changeable, committed, conscious, definitely, discipline, equipment, exceed, guarantee, leisure, license, miniature, noticeable, occasionally, possession, referred, recommend, restaurant, relevant, separate
二、句子听写:同义替换写难题 ①词汇层面上的同义替换:
1)I've got to go over my notes for tomorrow's midterm.(study)
2)We'll have to leave very early.(set off)
3)It looks like he bought out the bookshelf.(bought a lot of books)
4)I'll have to get my ticket of the flight changed.(switch to)
5)Jane is counting the days to go home for the summer.(is eager to)
6)There'll be another bus in two or three minutes.(soon)
②句子层面上的同义替换
1)You can use my new car if you drive it carefully.I agree to lend you my new car.2)The reading list of English course is enormous
It's going to require a lot of reading of the English course.3)The teacher went over last Friday’s lesson today.The teacher reviewed a previous lesson today.4)The train is behind the schedule.The train is late.5)I hate to tell you this, but I can’t seem to find them.The tools I borrowed from you are missing.6)If I were you, I would turn it in to the security office, it’s behind the administration building.Hand in the ring to the security office.

Introducing Speakers at a Conference [Part 1] Host: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the fifth annual International English Language Teaching Conference.Every year English language educators of all kinds—teachers, lecturers, researchers, authors and publishers—come from all over the world to share research results, strategies and fresh insights for effective English language teaching and learning.As usual, this year, we’re honored to have here some very highly regarded speakers, who are all leading experts in their fields.[Part 2] Host: We have three speakers tonight.Our first speaker this evening is Professor Ingrid Anderson.She will be talking about using mnemonics in vocabulary learning.Mnemonics are often mentioned as useful memory aids but how do they work? Ingrid Anderson will be telling us about some general principles behind mnemonics and how these principles can improve our overall learning.Ingrid Anderson has been an English language teacher for the past twenty-five years;she is the author of the widely acclaimed book Vocabulary and Language Learning and is currently a senior professor of ELT at The Institute of Foreign Languages in Shanghai.It’s my great pleasure to introduce to you Professor Ingrid Anderson.[Applause] Host: Mr.John Bhudrani will follow Professor Anderson to talk to us about another fundamental area of language—grammar.In particular John Bhudrani will be focusing on the confusing area of grammar and natural language.Why do some second language learners who pay meticulous attention to grammar, sometimes lack a natural fluency? John Bhudrani will be tackling this and other related issues in his speech.John Bhudrani’s career has taken him through twenty-two years of study, lecturing and research at Edinburgh University in the UK and Harvard University in the United States, where he is currently the head of the linguistics department.He wrote his Ph.D thesis on language teaching theory and is a leading expert in ELT pedagogy.Please welcome Mr.John Bhudranni.[Applause]
[Part 3] Host: Our final speaker will talk on a subject that teachers spend a great deal of time thinking about: motivation.Motivation has long been recognized as an important area of language learning—so how do educators create the best conditions to stimulate motivation? What can educators do when faced with a classroom of unmotivated students? Or, if a teacher is lucky enough to have well motivated students, how can that teacher get the most out of the students’ motivation? To help us find answers to these and other questions about motivation Ms.Naomi Green will be our third speaker.[Part 4] Host: Naomi Green is a highly effective and experienced language teacher.She started her career in ELT more than thirty-five years ago and since then has worked all over the world as a teacher and an administrator.She is currently the director of the British Council in Tokyo.She has a master’s degree in ELT and will soon complete a second master’s degree in applied linguistics at Reading University.She’s not only an excellent teacher but also an outstanding student of languages herself and is fluent in Spanish, French and Japanese.Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ms.Naomi Green.[Applause]

Warm up Exercises: A.1)She wanted to see St.Paul’s Cathedral.2)She was so surprised because she saw so many Englishmen who looked alike.3)They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats, carrying umbrellas and newspapers.4)Because she had often read about them and seen photographs of them, who all looked as if they were wearing a uniform.5)No, he didn’t.6)He used the English saying “It takes all kinds to make a world” to prove his opinion.B.If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be!And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be!And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!【Teaching materials】
Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London.She wanted to see St.Paul's Cathedral.She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike.They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats.They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers.When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures.“They must be typical English gentlemen,” she said.“ I have often read about them and seen photographs of them.They all look as if they are wearing a uniform.Does the typical English gentleman still exist?”
Mr.Clark laughed.“I've never thought about it,” he answered.“ It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen.But look at this.” Mr.Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man.“He's just as typical, perhaps.It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman.Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England.”
“Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,” Gretel began to hum happily.If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be!If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be!And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash that would be!” Task 2 【Teaching materials】 A.1)people were much busier 2)colder than England;minus thirty degrees;last longer 3)much more mountainous;much higher and much more rocky;more beautiful

Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Where I was living in Japan, in the North, it was much colder than England, especially in winter, minus thirty degrees centigrade.Does the winter in Osaka last longer than the winter in England? Etsuko: No, I don’t think so.December, January, February, March.John: Yes.It’s a little bit shorter if anything.Etsuko: Ever since I came here, I noticed that the countryside here in England is very beautiful.John: It’s much flatter than in Japan.Etsuko: Yes.Japan is a mountainous country and our cities are full of people.There are lots of people in a limited flat area.John: Yes, I found Japan much more mountainous than Britain, especially in the north.The mountains are much higher and much more rocky.I found it more beautiful than Britain, I think.Etsuko: Yes, if you like mountains.John: And therefore the towns and villages tend to be more crowded.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Yes.So because the cities are more crowded, the houses tend to be smaller, don’t they? Etsuko: Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t have a lot of space.In big cities we have a lot of taller buildings now.John: Is this a problem because there are more earthquakes in Japan?

Steve: Usually eight people dance together, four men and four women.When they start, they form a square, with a man and a woman on each side of the square.That’s why it’s called square dancing.Then there’s a man who tells the dancers what they should do.He usually makes it into a song.He sings it while they dance.Rosa:
Oh, that should make the dances easy!
Steve:
Yes, but they are very fast.They don’t have much time to think.I like to watch them, though.The dancers wear old-fashioned clothes.That makes the dances pretty to watch.Rosa:
I’d like to watch a group dance.Steve:
I’ll take you sometime.Task 4 【teaching task】

no freedom for women 【teaching materials】
Man: Well, I think life used to be much more fun than it is now.I mean, look at the Victorians.They had lots of servants to do all the work;they never had to do any cooking or cleaning;they just wore those beautiful dresses and went to tea parties.Woman: You must be joking!Their clothes were terribly uncomfortable and their tea parties were very formal and boring.They used to wear their hats and long gloves even when they were eating cakes and biscuits.And men were not usually invited.Man: Really? Weren't they? Woman: And think of the poor servants.What a terrible life — just cleaning and cooking for other people all the time!
Man: But you hate housework!Woman: Yes, I know, but there are lots of machines now to help you with the housework.People don't need servants.Man: Maybe they don't, but life then was much slower than it is now-people nowadays are always rushing, and they never have time to stop and enjoy themselves.Woman: Life then was fine for the rich, but it was dreadful for the poor.There was much more illness.They didn't have the money to pay doctors, and they often used to die of illnesses that don't exist in England now.Man: Maybe.But people used to talk to each other, play the piano or play cards together.Nowadays people just sit in front of the television for hours and never talk to each other.Woman: I agree with you about television;but what about their children? They left their Children with the servants all day.Children hardly ever saw their parents!And the clothes they had to wear!Horrible, tight, uncomfortable, grown-up clothes.Children have a much better life now than they used to, and schools and education are much better too.Man: I hate school.Woman: And look at opportunities for women.In those days, women used to stay at home, play the piano, change their clothes several times a day and have tea parties.What a life!They didn't have any freedom at all.I'm very happy living now.I can work, have a career, do what I want to.Man: You mean you can work hard all your life like a Victorian servant.Woman: Life isn't all tea parties, you know.Task 6 【exercises】 A.1)b 2)a 3)c 4)a B.1)family unit;process;change;used to be;the extended;the nuclear

The American family unit is in the process of change.There used to be mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear.The extended family most often included mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby.Then as job patterns changed and the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people were forced to move to different parts of the country for job opportunities.These moves split up the extended family.The nuclear family became more prevalent;this consisted of only the parents and the children.Now besides these two types of traditional groupings, the word “family” is being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements.Today's family can be made up of diverse combinations.With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there is an increase in single parent homes: a father or mother living with one or more children.“Blended families” occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriages into a new family.On the other hand, some couples are deciding not to have any children at all, so there is an increase in childless families.There are also more people who live alone: single, widowed, divorced.Now one in five Americans lives alone.Task 7 【keys】 A.Men Women Both Study subjects like history or English

In Japan both men and women go to university and both men and women study the arts such as history or English.But very few women study science, medicine or engineering.In engineering classes of thirty or forty students, there may be only one or two women.Men and women both go to university in order to get good jobs: men want to work for a big company, be successful, earn a lot of money and support a family;women, on the other hand, want to work for a big company because they have a better chance of meeting a successful man and getting married.This is changing, however, as Japanese women begin to think about their own careers.They have began to take jobs which they like rather than jobs in order to find a husband.Men work for their whole lives and usually stay with the same company.A woman may work up to ten years, but after that she usually gets married.Most women are married by the age of twenty seven, then they stay at home and look after the children.A man does not cook or look after the children.When he comes home, his meal must be ready.The woman may go out in the afternoon, shopping with her friends or having a chat, but she must go back home by four o'clock to prepare the meal.Then she may have to wait a long time for her husband to come home.Often he has to go out for a drink after work: if he doesn't he may not rise very high in the company.After her children grow up, a woman can go back to work, but it is not easy.If her former company takes older women back, she might be lucky.But most women find it difficult to find a job when they are older.Task 8 【keys】 A.1)a 2)c 3)b 4)c 5)c 6)b 7)c 8)b B.1)T 2)T 3)F 4)F 5)T 6)F 7)F 8)F 9)T 10)F 【teaching materials】
Matthew: Geth, how do people set about getting married in England?
Geth: I suppose the most common way is still for people to go home.For example, people who live in London now will go back to their homes in the provinces where they'll meet all their relatives and their parents, and they'll get married in a church, with the bride wearing white, the traditional white.Then they'll go off and have a booze-up with their relatives and friends and a jolly good time will be had by all.Otherwise you can get married in a registry office, which means you turn up with your bride-to-be or bridegroom-to-be with two witnesses only.The ceremony takes about five minutes, I suppose.You sign the form and that's it.Matthew: There are many today who say that marriage is a complete waste of time.What's your view of marriage in the twentieth century?
Goth: Well, I live in London as you know.I think in London, the tendency is to...for a...boy and girl, man or woman to live together before marriage and often to live together without any prospect of marriage at all.I think this probably is...is true of London and the other big cities than elsewhere, because after all people in London are living in a big place where home ties are obviously less restrictive.They can do more or less as they please and I think this is the pattern.Matthew: But do you think it helps for people to live together before taking their vows?
Geth: I think in a sense the habit of living together before marriage may, in a strange sort of way, make marriage stronger, because after all the people will know each other better when they do get married and it might be suggested that divorce would be less likely between such a couple.Matthew: Sue, you've been married for two or three years now.How's it working out?
Sue: I think it's a successful marriage.It's...I mean, it's difficult to say why, because we basically suit each other very much.We have a good friendship, apart from anything else, and, you know, we just go together very well because we respect each other's freedom and individuality, but on the other hand we really need each other, you know, it's...Matthew: What about.., have you thought of having children?
Sue: Well, obviously, like most young couples, we have thought about it, but, you know, we both feel rather, sort of, loath to lose our freedom just yet.I think we'll probably wait another few years.Matthew: Is it easy in England today to people to get divorced, or is that quite difficult?
Chris: I think technically it's probably fairly easy, I think, because I'm not English but, I think technically it's fairly easy to be...to get divorced.But it's not just the technicality of it which is the problem.Divorce is...is a social stigma which people can probably Cope with to varying degrees, but it's also a lot easier for the man because the woman, after she is divorced is, in fact, frowned upon by...by a lot of people in society.She is...is...at a...a much more difficult social position in terms of...of meeting other men, or whatever, simply because she is a divorcee.Task 9 【keys】
Social customs and ways of behaving change.But they do not necessarily always change for the better.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable — especially if they are your guests.There is a story about a rich nobleman who had a very formal dinner party.When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.Other guests were amused or shocked, but the nobleman calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Passage 1
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.Farmington, Utah, is a more pleasant community since a local girls' 4-H club improved Main Street.Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash.Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers.They also took terms in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot.Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes;they've learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits.One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pour a weed.The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community.City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, pick-me tables, swings and public rest rooms.The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth.The total park project needed more plantings in the following years.Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work.The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center.Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?

Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Passage 3
Thank you for coming, everyone.Today’s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today.Let’s start with power.It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future.Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas.Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil.But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles.Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use.Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety.Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner.Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources.Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they’ll do all the driving for you.What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say ―a bit warmer‖, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically.You’ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link.So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever.Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.What is the presentation mainly about?
34.What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?
35.What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?
Section C
My favorite TV show? ―The Twilight Zone.‖ I especially like the episode called ―The Printer’s Devil.‖ It’s about a newspaper editor who’s being driven out of business by a big newspaper syndicate – you know, a group of papers owned by the same people.He is about to commit suicide when he is interrupted by an old man who says his name is Smith.The editor is not only offered 5,000 dollars to pay off his newspaper’s debts, but this Smith character also offers his services for free.It turns out that the guy operates the printing machine with amazing speed, and soon he is turning out newspapers with shocking headlines.The small paper is successful again.The editor is amazed at how quickly Smith gets his stories – only minutes after they happen – but soon he is presented with a contract to sign.Mr.Smith, it seems, is really the devil!The editor is frightened by this news, but he is more frightened by the idea of losing his newspaper, so he agrees to sign.But soon Smith is reporting the news even before it happens – and it’s all terrible – one disaster after another.Anyway, there is a little more to tell, but I don’t want to ruin the story for you.I really like these old episodes of the Twilight Zone, because the stories are fascinating.They are not realistic.But then again, in a way they are, because they deal with human nature.听力的场景词汇
