第一篇：英语专四听力复习计划
英语专四听力复习计划
1.听写
听写是对听力与速记技能的双重考核。这6周的时间，定型自己的答题风格是最重要的。即，四次听力的任务重心，单词简写的程度，还有2分钟复习时间的利用。这6周确保自己每天做1次完整的听写练习。从第一遍的听大意，到第二、三次的意群听写，再到第四次的校对需要在完全符合考试流程的状态下进行。就连最后的2分钟复查时间也要给自己。以上四次听力任务重心的科学性是由实践得到的。轻易不要打破。但适度的变通、个性化还是可以接受的。例如第一次听，也可以在草稿上写写关键词，提醒自己文章的整
体架构，但注意一旦一句没听懂，不要纠结，给自己机会在第二第三次中揣摩。
常见问题：
(1)英音、美音
很多考生平时训练的听力材料都是美音，导致自己对于英音有很强烈的不适应感。专八的听写或听力，英音或美音的可能性都为50%。所以，考生平时练习的时候要有意识培养
自己对这两种语音的适应度。选择的音频，也要两种语音兼顾。
(2)全文没有标点符号
材料的标点需要考生自己根据意群去划分。考生一方面可以利用录音第二遍、第三遍的断句来判断，另一方面还要强化自己的英文标点意识。不要中、英标点混用。
(3)最后复查2分钟没有充分利用
部分同学会急于用这2分钟浏览听力**，导致听写部分出现一些“小儿科”错误。单词的单复数、过去时态、has/is 的错用、主谓一致等都是在这2分钟内可以检查并更正的。另外一个要注意的就是，根据得分、扣分的规则，如果有一句话基本没听清楚，那放弃这句话去检查其它句子才是明智之举。听写是专四的第一题，它的成败在很大程度上决定了
考生的心情。在这六周时间里，每个早晨从听写开始，培养自己的答题风格。
2.听力
听力复习分为两部分：一部分是日常生活话题的对话或是陈述;另一部分是VOA和BBC的新闻听力。考生们在前4周可以专门进行日常生活话题的听力训练，每天保持40分钟左右的听力，复述出材料的中心含义，并与原文进行对比。这项训练主要是培养考生们对于关键句型的敏感度以及抓重点的能力，这种能力对于各种形式的听力理解都是有帮助的。后2周专门针对VOA或BBC的新闻听力，熟悉英语新闻的结构，以及用词特点。同样也可
以采用复述大意或辅助真题练习的方式敦促练习。
常见问题：
预读真题
如果是以真题作为训练材料，那就一定要模拟真实的考试步骤。预读真题并明确各选项的区别对于抓重点听力特别有效。强烈建议大家一定要在平时的练习中养成这样的习惯。但注意平时的训练中也不能给自己无止境的时间来预读题干。而应该控制在5秒左右。

M: Well, I'm still conscious of time when I work.W: What do you mean?
M:(1)1 still have this nine-to-five attitude toward work.When five o'clock comes around, I get up and go home.W: I'm sorry to hear that, but work doesn't have to mean drudgery any more.Indeed, work has changed dramatically for the better.M: How about the old saying” we work to live, not live to work?“
W: Well, although money is an important factor,(2)people now want to live fulfilling lives with meaningful jobs, rather than to simply earn a living.M: But it's hard for me to feel that way.W: I think your attitude to work needs a radical change.Since the industrial revolution, we have made work our enemy.Now it doesn't have to be that way.M: It's really interesting to hear all this, but doing work does not mean watching an exciting movie.You' ve still got to go through the nuts and bolts of your work.W:(3)While there are still dull and humble jobs,(2)workers now have more choices and are no longer tied to a job for life.M: That's true.W;(2)And work has become more intellectually challenging for more people, allowing them to think, learn, develop new skills, and find a sense of purpose and identity.Key：1.D2.D3.A

W:(4)It's a fifty-fifty choice and it largely depends on the individual.But the bottom
line is that each life has its own advantages and disadvantages.M: You're right there.Generally speaking, people in the city are better paid.And
according to the latest study, an income difference between the city and the country is
three to one.Isn't that alarming!
W: Living in the country incurs fewer expenses, although the costs of transportation
are much higher.M: I think that philosophy is the root of the difference,(5)ln the city.people want to”
do it all in one day“.In the country, people don't expect to get it all done in one day.Country folks tend to plan more because planning is required just to survive.W: In the country, you mind your own business without being unfriendly.And there are
fewer restrictions on what you can do, whether or not there is a law about it.(6)Many
laws on the books are not enforced.M: Also, there is no real crime to speak of.Any petty crime is usually committed by
the local school kids and is nothing serious.W: But the city continues to be a magnet, drawing people from the country, rather than
the other way around.Key：4.A5.D6.B

SECTION BPASSAGES
Questions II to 13 are based on the following passage.Love can be seen everywhere.Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less
scientific research than other emotions , such as anger and fear.The reason for this is
twofold.(11)First, love is a very complex emotion, difficult to describe and measure.Secondly, extreme love ia generally not a problem;thus less medical attention has been
paid to it.Love is an enduring, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or
thing.(12)But it also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and
tenderness.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: ”puppy“
love, romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth.Though they differ in some respects,they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.Our
feelings toward other people are often complex.(12)We may love someone and, at the
same time, be anffly with him.Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous
of him.We might love someone and, at the same time, hate for specific reasons.Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion.The question is often asked/is it bad
to hate? ”Usually hate does not help us;it makes us feel unhappy and do things that
may hurt others.(13)However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt
someone in order to protect loved ones.Key：11.D12.A13.D14.D
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage.You might think that most of the patients at sleep clinics are being treated for
sleeplessness, commonly referred to as insomnia, but that is not the cage.14)The
majority of sleep-clinic patients suffer from disorders of excessive sleep or“hy-
persomnia”.While most insomniacs somehow manage to drag themselves through the
day and function at acceptable, although not optimal.levels.This is not so for people
who suffer from hypersomnia.They are incapacitated by irresistible urges to sleep during the day, often in
inappropriate situations—at business meetings, in supermarkets, or at parties.Even
more dangerous is their failure to remain awake when driving or operating machines.Falling asleep in such situations could obviously be life-threatening,Many hypersomnia suffer from narcolepsy,for which the primary symptom is
excessive daytime sleepiness.(15)Though not apparent in childhood.this symptom
most often appears for the first time during the teen years and continues through a
person's life.The sleep attacks may occur as many as fifteen to twenty times during the
courses of the day and last for periods from fifteen minutes up to two hours.What can be done to help those suffering from narcolepsy?(16)There are certain
drugs that can help, and specialists Suggest voluntary napping to decrease the
frequency of such sleep attacks.Key: 14.D15.B16.C
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage.(17)It was fifty years ago when the economist Milton Friedman proposed School Choice Programs to improve American education.Today, about 36 000 students are served by vouchers.The programs are in the city of Washington D.C..and three of the fifty states: Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin.The number of students will grow with 14 000 new vouchers just approved by lawmakers in Ohio.And Utah will offer a voucher program for disabled students.(18)A few states offer tax credits or other forms of support to help parents pay for private schools.(20)One objection to vouchers has to do with the fact that most private schools are religious.The Constitution separates government and religion.Voucher critics argue that the use of public money for religious school is unconstitutional.Opponents of vouchers suggest public schools should get more money so all children can attend good schools near their home.Yet some people think all families should be offered vouchers, not just poor ones.Milton Friedman and his wife started the Milton and Rose D.Friedman Foundation to work for school choice with the goal to improve, through competition, the quality of education for all.(19)Milton Friedman had his ninety-third birthday on Sunday.The Nobel Prize-winning economist has been talking to reporters about the fiftieth anniversary of his proposal.Mr.Friedman told Education Week that he thinks fifty years from now, all students will be served by school vouchers.Key：17.A18.D19.C20.B
