第一篇:2014年英语四级短对话听力猜答案技巧
2014年英语四级短对话听力猜答案技巧
锦囊妙计1:听到什么就不选什么
“听到什么就不选什么”是一个非常有风险的“技巧”,可是,正如风险投资一样,风险越高,其回报率也就越高。如果听到的内容实在太难,你根本就没有听到具体在说什么,而只是听到了片言只语,那么,对于短对话题来说,你还有什么办法能起死回生?这时能够救命的只有这条计策了。
本妙计何以能够成立?其依据是什么?
由于短对话太“短”了,由一来一回两三句话构成,考点挖掘的余地就是对话里那几个词,因此,命题者就必然要在选项上做文章,用原文中的词汇加以组合,拼凑成与原文“貌合神离”的干扰选项。让没有听懂原文、只是听懂原文个别词句的考生上当受骗。而正确答案往往是原文的同义替换(或解释说明)。
锦囊妙计“听到什么就不选什么”尤其适用于一些比较简单的短对话和长对活题目中!
【例1】A)The mall placed the reading list on a desk.
B)The man regrets being absent-minded.
C)The woman.saved the man 80me trouble.
D)The woman emptied the waste paper basket.
【录音】M:1 wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list
W:I thought you might regret it.That‘s why I picked it up from the waste paper basket and left it On the desk.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation? [2007.6/T13]
【解析】答案为C。从解题的正路来分析。男士说:“我真希望没有扔掉那张阅读书单。”女士回答说:“我估计你会后悔的,所以就把它从废纸篓里捡了出来.放在书桌上了。”因此C“女士给男士省去了一些麻烦”正确。但没听懂的考生怎么办?就只能使出绝技“听到什么就不选什么”了。选项A、B、D中分别出现了对话中的reading list,regrets,waste paper basket,因此选C。
锦囊妙计2:答非所问。必有弦外之音
在对话中,如果S1(即Speaker 1“第一个说话者”)说了一般疑问句,S2应该怎样回答呢?S2应该回答Yes或No——最开始学英语的时候,老师就教过我们这一点了。然而,在听力对话中,我们经常听到的却是yes/no的变体。回答中不仅没有出现yes或no,而且有时候还会用问句来回答问句!这时,出题人庄往就会考查对S2的回答的理解。一般来说。如果S2对S1的一般疑问句不作直接回答。表示S2是一种强烈的否定态度,或者是一种带条件的肯定态度。正确答案即可由此选定。
【例2】A)She read only part of the book.
B)She is interested in reading novels.
C)She seldom reads books from cover to cover.
D)She was eager to know what the book was about.
【录音】M:Hi,Susan!Have you finished reading the book Professor Johnson recommended?
W:Oh,I haven’t read it through the way I‘d read a novel.I just read a few chapters which interested me.
Q:What does the woman mean? [2007.6/T15]
【解析】答案为A。如果听到了S2说的“我只读了我感兴趣的几章”,即可正确作答。如果没听清,则可从另一角度来解答本题:S1提出一个简单疑问句 “Have you finished reading the book...?”,s2没有直接用yes或no回答。正确选项往往表示对S1问题的否定回答或带条件的肯定回答,此处S2是有条件的肯定。四个选项中与 read及the book有关的只有A项.C没有提到 the book的情况。
【例3】A)The woman is watching an exciting film with the man.
B)The woman can’t take a photo of the mall.
C)The woman is running toward the lake.
D)The woman is filming the lake.
【录音】M:Look,the view is fantastic.Could you take a picture of me with the lake in the background?
W:I am afraid I just ran out of film.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation? 『2004.1/T2]
【解析】答案为B。S1说:“风景美极了,以湖为背景给我照张相好吗?”S2没有回答yes或no,只是啰嗦了一通“恐怕我没有底片了”。其含义当然是说 “No”.但其效果就比单纯的“No”好得多:我不给你照相是因为客观原因,而不是我不想。这就免得对方生气了。这也正是“答非所问”的功能之一。另外。本题也可以用“听到什么就不选什么”的策略。听力原文中,film指照相用的“胶卷、底片”,而选项中的film都是指“电影”。正确选项B中的take a photo正是原文中take a picture的同义替换。
锦囊妙计3:S2简短回答不简单
题型特征:对于S1的问话或者声明,s2的回答分为“简短回答+详细解说”两部分。简短同答部分是日常口语,很容易听懂;然而后面紧跟着的解说部分充满了种种艰深的词汇,很长、很费解。
理解要点。①若详细解说前没有but,则解说部分是对前面简短回答的补充与说明;②若详细解说前有but,则属于“中but题”,解说部分含义与简短回答部分相反。由此可以推出答案。
在这种题型中。S2的简短回答部分是其整个回答的“先遣部队”,对于理解对话、解答问题具有重要的价值。因此,尽管它相对容易听懂,但也必须予以高度重视.力求凭借它正确答题。
【例4 】A)He has left the army recently.
B)He quit teaching in June.
C)He has taken over his brother‘s business.
D)He opened a restaurant near the school.
【录音】W:Are you still teaching at the junior high school?
M:Not since June.***(听不懂)
Q:What do we learn about the man from the conversation? [2007.6/T14]
【解析】答案为B。S2的后半句话非常长(My brother and I opened a restaurant as soon as he got out of the army.),“很难”听懂。那么,根据听到的内容,可以选择答案吗?分析听懂了的部分可知,S1问:你还在教初中吗?预期中的回答应该是“在”或
者“不在”。而S2回答:6月以来就没有了。由此,可以毫不犹豫地选择B项。至于剩下的选项中,均与S1的问题无关
锦囊妙计4:强烈语气题
什么叫“强烈语气”?真是很难说清楚。如果正常情况下用正常的语法、句型可以表达某个意思。而实际上又没有用这样的句型,而是用了特殊的语法结构、语音、语调表达特殊含义。其间必然附带产生特殊的语气,尤其是表示强烈情感特征的语气。
在短对话听力题目中,具有强烈语气的结构主要有:
*带升调的肯定句,表示疑问.例如:And I do?
*否定疑问句,表示感叹。例如:Isn’t it fantastic?
*一般疑问句,表示建议与不满,例如:Are you kidding?
*虚拟条件句。表示遗憾或愿望。
*简短的回答语,如:Really? Oh,no!Terrible!
*用疑问语气重复S1话语中的核心词组,表示怀疑、不赞同或者对S1的进一步论述。*特殊的重读词汇,表示对比。
*肯定形式的反问句,表示强烈的否定语气,而否定形式的反问句,表示强烈的肯定语气。例如:由“Why(not)+动词原形”构成的建议句。
对于包含这类强烈语气的对话题目,其考查的重点往往就是这些特殊话语结构的含义。如果能准确理解它们,这些题也就可以轻松解答。万一未能听懂相关话语,只是听出了这样的特殊语气,那么,该如何理解对话,从而解题呢?基本原则是:这样的强烈语气,是针对前面S1的话而来的。它要么表示对S1的强烈的肯定与支持要么表示对S1的强烈否定。因此,不是正面选答案,就是反面选答案。
【例5】A)The Edwards are quite well-off.B)The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.C)It‘ll be unwise For the Edwards to buy another house.D)It’s too expensive for the Edwards to have in their present house.【录音】W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow,they are over 70 now,and their present house is not too bad.Q: What does the man imply? [2006.6FF13]
【解析】答案为C。S2的 “Should they be doing that?”句型表明了一种强烈不赞同的语气,对S1提到的they(即the Edwards)的做法(即buy another house)表示否定。题目问S2的话意,我们只要看哪个选项否定了they的做法.那就是正确答案。
第二篇:四级听力短对话解题技巧
大学英语四级考试听力短对话解题技巧
大学英语四级考试中听力短对话的话题基本是衣、食、住、行等日常生活中常见的话题或与学校生活相关的话题。例如:2006年12月四级考试中的听力短对话出现了圣诞节礼物、喜爱的食物、买歌剧门票以及会说几种语言等话题。听力短对话虽然短小,但是不应忽视,如果掌握方法,这部分得高分还是很容易的。要答好这部分题目,首先要区分说话者的性别,其次是弄清说话者的观点,最后再排除干扰项,得出答案。下面我们首先来看看听力短对话的常考题型和提问方式,再根据它们的特点分析一下短对话的解题技巧。
一、短对话的题型大体上分为以下五类: 1.时间类:这类题目经常以when来提问。
例如:W: Your library books are due on December 13th.If you have not finished using them by then, you may renew them once.M: Thank you very much.I only need them for a few days.Q: When must the man return his books to the library?
2.地点及场所类:经常以where提问,比如问对话发生的地点。这类题在听力对话题中比较简单,考生只需掌握表示地点及方位的介词短语,抓住其中的关键场景特点,就能辨认出对话发生的场所。当你听到boarding一词的时候,应该马上联想到机场。
例如:M: I need to cash this check?
W: Will you step right over to the teller’s window, please?
Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
3.数字类:一般来说需要进行简单的换算,这类题目比较简单,是听力中的拿分题。
例如:W: Do you live in a college dormitory?
M: Yes, I do.It’s a six-man suite, but at the moment only four of us live there.Q: How many people share the suite now?
4.人物关系及身份类:此类对话提供一个情节,能反映所涉及人的关系或身份。人物关系及身份类题型几乎每次考试都会出现,我们可以通过抓关键的特征词来判断。四级听力中常见的人物关系及身份有teacher and student, librarian and student, shop assistant and customer, doctor and patient, waiter(waitress)and customer。
5.活动类:这一类谈话内容可涉及上课、娱乐、工作、日常生活等各种情况。
例如:M: Professor Smith asked me to go to his office after class.So it’s impossible for me to make it to the bar at ten.W: Then it seems that we’ll have to meet an hour later at the library.Q: What will the man do first after class?
二、短对话的提问方式通常包括以下六种:
1.问“是什么、要什么”等。例如:
What is the man’s answer? What does the woman want for lunch?
What kind of books does the man want to borrow?
2.问“做什么”。例如:
What will the man do first after class? What does the woman tell the man to do first?
What will happen if John fails the exam?
What does the woman want the man to do?What would the woman most probably do?
3.问“什么含义”。例如:
What does the woman mean?
What does the man mean(imply)?
What does the woman’s answer suggest?
4.问“从对话中能获得什么信息或结论”。例如:
What do we learn from the conversation?
What do we learn about John from the conversation?
What do we learn about the taxi driver?
5.问“对某人或某事有什么看法”。例如:
What does the man think of Miss Brown?
What does the woman think of the plan?
6.问“对话可能是在什么场所发生的”。例如:
Where does this conversation most probably take place?
Where does this conversation most likely occur?
Where are the man and the woman?
总之,短对话的提问方式通常是特殊疑问句。除了以上这些提问方式,通常还有提问时间、提问人物关系及身份、提问数字等。无论是哪种提问方式,都是和听力的对话内容和题目类型相对应的,只要我们把握了对话的重要考试&大信息就可以快速正确地选出答案。
三、短对话的四个解题技巧:
1.可以利用录音正式开始之前的几分钟——播放考试说明的时间,快速浏览选项,对所谈论的话题和相关的信息有个大概的了解。比如看到下面的选项:
A)At the airport.B)In a restaurant.C)In a booking office.D)At the hotel reception.我们就可以推断这个题目很可能问的是对话发生的地点,属于地点类题型。所以我们在听的时候就要特别注意谈话的环境和对话中出现的关于场所的词语。在平时的学习中应掌握一些常用的句型。比如向他人提出建议或请求时,往往采用委婉的方式来表达。
表示建议的常用句型:If I were you, I’ll...Why don’t you...? How about...? Maybe you’d better...Perhaps we can...表示请求的常用句型:I wonder if you...Would / Could you tell me...?I’ll appreciate it if you...2.另外我们可以边听边做速记,当遇到一时难以判断的题时,可以等听力结束后再回过头来仔细推敲,避免在某一题上花太多时间。遇到内容较复杂的谈话时,记在不同选项旁的关键词可以帮助我们很快找到正确答案。比如在解答有关数字类的题目时,速记就显得尤为重要。
3.在把握细节的基础上,我们要全面掌握整体意思,排除貌合神考试&大离的选项。在所提供的四个选项中,有三个是干扰项,干扰项的设计通常是提供一个读音与对话中某一词组十分相似的选项或提供一个在对话中出现过的词,以达到干扰效果。例如:
M: Registration always takes so long.W: What bothers me is all the people who cut in line.Q: What bothers the woman?
A)Registration.B)When the line breaks.C)How long the line is.D)People who don’t wait their turn.其中,B)、C)两项都出现了“line”一词,这是在对话中出现过的,许多考生可能被误导选B),而实际上让女士厌烦的是“people who cut in line”,因此选项D)“People who don’t wait their turn”才是正确的。
4.最后需要指出的很重要的一点是:做听力题时,要注意谈话的环境,重点听主要信息和目的,不要试图听清每一个词。听力测试的设题目的是考查我们对于对话主要内容的全面把握,而不是像听写一样,去听清每一个词。
