第四篇: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。

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
