英语四级听力长对话解析【李旭】
新东方在线四六级
大家好，我是新东方在线四级听力主讲老师李旭，在2017年6月的四级听力考试中，长对话这部分当中，看到在课上聊过很有意思的特点，两个人说话一个人相对重要，一个人相对次要的特点。
我们一起看这么一小组内容，男的说Hi, Susan! You’re looking very smart today. 女的回答I always look smart, James. Actually I’m on my way to a job interview.这样的对白在你耳边出现的时候，你应该马上能够想出来，答案基本来自于女的话语，男的是打招呼的。男的先打招呼，听说你今天看起来很伶俐，女的更有意思，废话，我总是很伶俐，紧接着就说了Actually I’m on my way to a job interview，这个事就解释清楚了。紧接着男的又问，What job?，你有没有注意到男的不断的扮演提问的角色，女的在不断回答，你们在做对话的时候，是不是把重心放在女人的话语当中。男的问她是不是假期找工作，女的说Yeah, there is only two weeks to go, I’ve got a second interview with that big foreign accountancy firm in the city center.。那么想一下accountancy指的是什么，是会计，会计公司，在in the city center。紧接着整个第一组对白内容就出现了，第一道题问的是Where will Susan probably get a job?在哪儿会有工作，是不是就在会计公司，答案来自于女人的话语。
紧接着话语再往下进行，女的说The record is just helping out with the data input.没看到选项前，也能猜想出这四道题的选项都是工作的内容，带着想法去听，就会发现她的工作内容就是输入各种数据，答案还是出自女人的话语。紧接着话锋一转，男的说if they take you on, tell them you have a friend who’d be really good too.，如果他们要是录取你的话，一定告诉他们你还有一个朋友特别擅长这事，这个男也要找工作。再往下看，这男的为什么找工作，下面说I really need the money and the experience will look good on my resume.这个叫做我需要钱，而且他能够让我的简历上多一个工作阅历，会使得我的简历看着更好，第十题问的是Why does James want the job in that company，他为什么想在这个公司也获得一个工作，因为他需要钱，而且the experience will look good on my resume。
紧接着后面又做对话，女的说Ok, we’ll do. If the boss likes me, I’ll mention it I’ll phone you afterwards.如果老板喜欢我的话我会跟他提这个事，. It will be good to have someone around who I know.我周围如果有认识的人，工作起来会好一点。Right perhaps you should put in an application anyway.你现在得先交个简历，紧接着对白的最后出了一个词listen，这是一个提示词，谢谢你，你想不想要一个lift，就是我开车带你一段的意思。? I have my dad’s car today and have nothing to do this morning.意思是今天我爸的车在我这儿，我开车带你去。
紧接着在对话的最后一个回合，有没有看到这么一个东西by the way，by the way的作用是提出一个新的，跟之前没有关系的内容。By the way, how is your knowledge of accountancy?你是怎么知道会计的事情，The interviewer may ask you about it. The interviewer面试官会问你关于会计的事情。男的说, I think I can survive. Survive本意是幸存，我觉得没事，这个面试我觉得我能过的了。term是术语的意思，我得复习一些术语。Maybe you can give me a practicing interview first.男的最后向女的发出一个请求，你能不能给我来一个面试的测试，或者面试的模拟，能不能先帮帮我。最后这个男的准备面试的时候，可能要复习几个术语，并且做一个practice。整个对话套路来看就是我们说的第二句重心运用，在对话说话当中答案更多的来自于女人的话语。
如果你考到篇章这部分你会觉得非常简单。我们来看Facebook这篇，Facebook你要不熟的话，朋友圈微信你总熟吧，文章所谈的内容跟这个也差不多。facebook，文章讲的是一
个叫做Catherine，不管中间跟家人隔多远，都跟家人保持联系。Times zone指的是时区，在facebook也不用考虑什么不同的时区，他们要去是不是给家打电话，是不是在睡觉，还是在教堂呢，大家知道在教堂是不能接电话的。当他开了facebook帐户的时候，他的高中同学就开始加他，刚开始的时候，他觉得挺好的。你注意听力里边只要出现at first，起初怎么怎么样，后面一定会做强转折。起初他觉得这事没有关系，他特别想知道，当他十几岁的时候，认识的那些朋友现在在事业上获得了成功，他很开心。时间久了还会开心吗，各位可以结合自己的经历，在朋友圈里边看到别人晒幸福，撒狗粮，你会特别不喜欢看。等四六级过了之后发榜的时候，容易干这事。如果同学们过了四级考试，千万别干这事。话锋一转，你看他说什么。
下面说很快他发现有很多人在朋友圈里，在facebook比他做的好的多，他非常难过，整个篇章讲的就是这么一件事，里边谈Facebook你如果平常看看朋友圈，很容易就答对。第一道题问的是为什么Facebook非常方便。第二道题他的朋友加他，第三道题，他为什么感觉难过，因为他朋友成功跟自己比较而言觉得自己是失败的，所以非常难过。
这次考试有的同学说难度太大了，说实话这次考试，从字面难度来看不算大，一般。如果你觉得你拿到的这套卷子难度特别大，也别担心，简单的说如果这道题你答错了，别人也错了，这个就没有分，如果别人对了，你也对了，你那的分也少。
我直播的时候，同学问我有没有办法临阵磨枪，为什么你现在四级听不懂，在录播课讲的时候，四级考试是重能力的，你听不懂谁也帮不了你。虽然我们有一些考试技巧，但在考场里有没有遇到过收音机声音不好，或者在考场里，前面拿大音响放的，所以，你现在就要开始学，你为什么跟不上，单词为什么读出来因为你没有大声把这些词读出来。你看男的用的是英式，女的用的是美式发音，你应该学习一下这两者之间的区别。所以请同学们痛定思痛，重新想一下自己接下来怎么处理六级，将来考研复试的时候也会有六级的考试，把规则都学会，万变不离其宗。关于这次考试，难度一般，只有较强的时效性，考题是比较预定的，未来也相对有效。更多的告诉各位，下一回准备六级考试，或者四级考试刷分，你需要做的事情是从基础提高对单词的反应速度，搞清楚连读规则，从根本能力上加以提升。加上老师在新东方在线给大家讲的考试技巧，我们最后在考试的时候拿到更加理想的分数，我们这次考完了，老师预祝各位考试过过过。

四级写作网络课堂十大必背范文 王江涛 1、~网络游戏 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Online Games. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)现在有些大学生沉迷于网络游戏，家长和学校对此忧心忡忡， 2)但有人认为网络游戏并非一无是处， 3)你的看法。 Online Games As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students. A great many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games. But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected. This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents. However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful. They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly. Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science. More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly. From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a reasonable way. When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once. Yet if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them. 2、考证热 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Certificate Craze on Campus. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热”， 2)产生这一现象的原因， 3)你的看法。 Certificate Craze on Campus In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear? There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. To begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive?More certificates at hand, maybe. Furthermore, diploma and certificates a re still vital standards by which a good many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another. From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily pro ve one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is

下面是为各位考生整理的英语四级听力技巧解析，供大家参考。希望给各位考生带来帮助。 对于四级听力长对话，考生应始终牢记：不要奢望将其内容一字不落地完全听懂并且记住。因为即使在日常生活中用母语对话，这也几乎是不可能的，同时也是不必要的。在日常生活中，我们只要掌握自己关心的信息，而在听力考试中，我们则要抓住关键的命题点。 以下分听前预测和听时抓“点”两个步骤详解听力长对话的应试策略。 一、听前预测 听前预测对于听力长对话非常重要。放音间隔的时间应尽可能留作预测之用。若想有效使用这短短几十秒的放音间隔时间，需把握以下两个原则： 1. 先纵后横 所谓“先纵”，就是首先通读每篇后的3-4个小题，找出关键词，前后联系，预测全篇大致主题。 所谓“后横”，就是在仍有时间的情况下，通看各题选项，看看是否存在生词，总结长句的核心意思，以此预测考点和可能的答案。 两步预测都要注意随时做出标注，划出关键词或简写长句的大意，因为单凭记忆在"高压"的听力考试中是万万靠不住的。 以2007年12月Conversation Two为例： 23. A) She is thirsty for promotion. B) She wants a much higher salary. C) She is tired of her present work. D) She wants to save travel expenses. 首先通过promotion, salary和work可得出本对话的大致主题是有关职业，再联系两次出现的wants,想到或许与求职有关，并顺理成章地想到可能会谈到离职的原因、新职位的性质以及薪酬等等。这就是上面所说的"先纵"。 此后我们可对选项中较长的词语做标注，如下划线所示。通过听录音我们发现本题答案的对应信息在原文中是"I'm fed up with my job.", 正是"tired of"的同义置换。这就是上面所说的"后横"。 可见，事先标注关键信息，可让我们在听时将注意力集中到更小的"点",起到事半功倍的效果。 2. 分清主次 与生活中的情形相似，双方对话的时候常有主次之分，如：一方询问，另一方作答时，关键信息多出现在作答一方，考点自然也就多出于此。分清对话双方的主次对于我们预测考点出现的位置很重要，方法也简单易行。

Part II Listening Comprehension Section A News Report One 【话题预测】由college students，sleep，problem，stress，psychological 等词可推断，本则新闻与大学生 睡眠或心理健康有关。 【正确答案】1—2 B D 听力原文 You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can wreck a student’s sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind. Texas Tech University is even offering a class called “Improving Your Sleep Habits”. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don’t get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off
新东方王苗：2018年6月大学英语四级考试真题解析翻译部分(新东方版) Part IV Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer sheet 2. 过去，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。如今随着经济的发展和生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人包括许多农民和外出务工人员都能乘飞机出行。他们可以乘飞机到达所有大城市，还有许多城市也在筹建机场。航空服务不断改进，而且经常会有特价机票。近年来，节假日期间选择乘飞机外出旅游的人不断增加。 【译文】 In the past, it was beyond imagination for most Chinese to take a plane when traveling. Nowadays, with the development of economy and the improvement of life, an increasing number of Chinese including farmers and migrant workers could afford to take a plane. They can go to all large cities by plane. Besides, many cities are planning to build airports. The aviation service has been improved, and there are often plane tickets at bargain prices. In recent years, the number of people who travel by air in holidays has been increasing all the time. 【解析】 1. 过去，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。在第一句的句式中，由于系动词“是”之前的主语较长，借助形式主语it指代不定式to do结构，对某人来说，使用for加名词词组的结构。词汇方面：乘飞机：take a plane。难以想象：beyond imagination。In the past, it was beyond imagination for most Chinese to take a plane when traveling. 2. 如今随着经济的发展和生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人包括许多农民和外出务工人员都能乘飞机出行。第二句逗号前“随着”的部分，可以用with加名词词组的形式表达，逗号之后主干句子中谓语的翻译是一个难点，“能乘飞机”的实际含义时“能够/可以付得起乘飞机”，英文表达为“could afford to take a plane”。词汇方面：越来越多的中国人：more and more Chinese, 变通表达an increasing number of Chinese。外来务工人员：migrant workers。Nowadays, with the development of economy and the improvement of life, an increasing number of Chinese including farmers and migrant workers could afford to take a plane。 3. 他们可以乘飞机到达所有大城市，还有许多城市也在筹建机场。第三句中以逗号为分隔点，实际是两个句子。注意汉英两种语言中逗号的不同用法。翻译为英文时处理成两个以句号结尾的句子比较恰当。词汇方面：筹建：plan to build。They can go to all large cities by plane. Besides, many cities are planning to build airports。 4．航空服务不断改进，而且经常会有特价机票。第四句的句式可以处理成一个and连接的并列句。“航空服务不断改进”主谓之间是被动的关系，时态上现在完成时比较恰当。词汇方面：航空服务：aviation service。特价机票：plane tickets at bargain prices。The aviation service has been improved, and there are often plane tickets at bargain prices。 5. 近年来，节假日期间选择乘飞机外出旅游的人不断增加。第五句需要一个主从复合句来
四级听力长对话的3个答题技巧 一、做好笔记，抓住细节 细节题关注对细节的把握和描述， 即要求考生在听完对话后回答以 what，when，where，how等提出 的问题。它通常没有固定的提问方 式，问题可以涉及到对话的方方面 面，如人物的特征、事情的过程或 先后顺序、做事的喜好等。细节题 本身并不难，但因为长对话涉及的 信息通常较多，考生在听时应在选 项旁边适时做好笔记，以应对这种 常考题型。 A.Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 9:45. B.From September 1 to New Year’s eve. C.Every Monday, lasting for 12 weeks. D.Three hours a week, 45 hours in total.
M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it’s not on Thursday. W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven. M: Just once a week? W: Yes. But that’s almost three hours from seven to nine forty-five. M: Oh. Well, that’s alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last? W: Mmmm, let me see. Twelve weeks.
