如何决战专业英语四级听力
全国高等学校英语专业四级考试听力部分的测试题型分为两个主要部分：Dictati on和Listening Comprehension。
第一部分Dictation为1篇约150个词的短文，全篇文章共念4遍。第一遍用正常速度，每分钟120个词，让学生听懂短文的大意。第二、三遍则用较慢的语速朗读。句子或分句间留有1 0～15秒左右的间隙，特别长的句子有意群停顿，让学生书写。第四遍再用正常速度朗读，在这期间，考生对自己所记录的内容根据录音核实、检查。这一部分的时间是15分钟。
第二部分是Listening Comprehension。它由三个部分组成，即Section A、S ection B以及Section C，共有25道选择题。各部分的题型分别为：Section A: Statement,共8题；Section B：Conversation,共9题；Section C：News Broadcas t,在4篇左右的VOA或BBC听力材料之后，考生需就每篇材料分别完成1～3
道书面选择题，共8题。每一道选择题后留给考生10秒的间隙，考生必须利用这一间隙选出答案，录音的语速为每分钟120～150个词，只读1遍。整个听力理解部分的测试时间为20分钟。
二、专业四级听力测试要点及基本应试对策
(一)听写1.听写的测试要点听写所涉及的知识大致可分为语言因素和非语言因素两大类。语言因素主要指语言知识，即语言基本功中包括诸如语言知识、词汇知识、句法知识和语用知识等。现分述如下：1)语言知识。包括对英语每一个音的发音部位和发音方法，对元音和辅音的语音特征及区别，对音节结构和同化的规则，对省音和加音的现象，以及对语调和重音规则等知识的了解和掌握。
2)词汇知识。包括对英语词汇的分类、构词规则，以及习语、短语的了解和掌握。
3)句法与语义知识。包括对句子结构，句型转换规则，语义特征如歧义、反义等知识的了解和掌握。
4)语用知识。包括对语言行为的预设、指示以及语言环境等相关知识的了解和掌握。
2.听写的基本应试对策1)注意语音问题。
误听是听写中常出现的错误。很多考生有这样的体会：有些单词写出来认识，但在录音中却听不出来或听错。这种情况经常发生。因为在英语里，同一个字母就有多种不同的读音，例如：bag, what, class, alike等词中的字母“a”的读音就各不相同。而同一个读音可以用几个不同的字母来表示，例如：［ｉ］的读音，在busy, private, homeless, women, la dies, hymn, give, Sunday等词中的拼写形式又不相同。所以考生一定要弄懂某一字母在具体单词中的正确发音，以及某一单词中每个字母的正确发音，以免在听力上产生错觉。
2)处理好听与写的关系。
听与写是一对矛盾。由于时间限制，有些考生可能出现顾了听而来不及写或顾了写而影响听的现象。因此，在听写中必须正确处理好两者的关系。在听写中，写应依据以下三个步骤：①听；②边听边写；③边听边检查。
有的考生在听第一遍录音时就动笔写，这是不正确的。这样做看起来好像抓住了一些内容，但容易分散精力，影响对全文内容的理解，造成因小失大的结果。因此，在听第一遍录音时应着重了解全文大意，必要时可记下几个关键词语。在放第二、三遍录音时，考生可利用句间停顿和长句中的意群停顿记录所听内容，此时应做到听写兼顾，边听边写，准确地写下每一个单词。如果出现一些长句子，为了不影响记录后面的内容，可以先记下该句的词首、词尾及一两个关键词，等到听第三遍时补充完整。如若碰到生词或没有把握的词，可以根据其发音先拼写一个词，然后利用其他时间去思考。在放第四遍录音时，考生应在听音的同时检查所记内容是否与原文完全一致，单词拼写是否正确(包括标点符号、大小写、人称、同音异义及时态等)。
另外，考生在做这一部分题目时，注意力应高度集中，保持头脑清醒，不能分散精力。同时，考生还有必要提高自己的书写速度。听写中的停顿毕竟有限，
书写速度如果太慢，前一句尚未写完而后句的录音已开始播放，这时考生有可能因心理紧张而乱了方寸，造成断词、断句的后果，从而影响听写质量。
(二)听力理解1.听力理解的测试要点听力理解是一种接受性技能，也是一个复杂、积极、多层次的思维过程。它是诸多语言技能的综合运用，涉及到语音、语调、词汇、句型、句法、语言和非语言等诸多方面的知识。现归纳如下：
1)语音语调。
英语专业的学生经过两年的学习，已有相当的英语语言知识，已在语音、语速、语流等方面接受过训练，了解了重读、弱读、连读、省音、不完全爆破、同化等知识。但在口语中，对语调意义可超出语音和词汇意义认识不足。语调可用来表示谈话者对事件的态度、感情、口吻和意图。学生要培养从所听到的片言只语中，抓住说话者的态度。
例如：同一个单词well，使用不同的语调，可以表示不同的感情。
A.Well, and what are you going to do about it? 表示“质疑”(Challenge);
B. Well, I am surprised to see you! 表示惊奇“(Surprise);
C. Well, let me think. Yes, I remember. His name was Peter.表示”犹豫“(Hesitation);
D. Well, well, look who's come to help-now it's all finished!表示”讽刺“(Sarcasm);
E.Well, I'm glad that's over.表示”安慰“(Relief);
F. Well, I know what I'll do. I'll ask Jim to give me a lift.表示”决心“(Decision);
G. Well, I suppose there's nothing we can do about it.表示”无可奈何“(Resignation);
H. Well, in some ways we enjo yed it.表示”持保留态度“(Qualified approval)
2)句型句法。
熟悉英语口语基本句型结构可对所听到的内容情景做出快速反应。例如下列句型都可用来提出建议和意见。
A. It might be a good idea to wait and see what the weather is like.
B. What do you think of seeing the film tomorrow?
C. Wouldn't it be a good (b
etter) idea to buy tickets in advance? D. Would you like to go on a river-trip up the Thames?; E. Shall we have lunch at the “Good Lion”restaurant?; F. How about having some wine with our supper?; G. Let's have a dinner party.;
H. Why not throw all these old newspapers away?; I. We'd better let our frie nds know we're coming.; J. We might as well sit down while we're waiting.;而下列句型通常用来表示请求：A. Would you show me those photographs, ple ase?;B. Would you mind telling me how to use the dictionary?;C. May I have my key, please?;D. Won't you have another cup of coffee?;E. Would you like to have more chicken?;F. Why don't you come earlier?;G. Could you tell me the time, please?;句法的知识可帮助提高捕捉信号词的能力，可以预测可能听到的语言信息，掌握语段内在关系，便于理解记忆。
例如：A.表示比较(Comparison)likewise, similarly, in comparison; B.表示对比关系(Contrast)however, unlike, whereas, on the other hand; C.表示因果关系(Cause and effect)therefore, thus, accordingly, then; D.表示举例(Example)for ex ample, namely, for instance; E.表示总结(Summary)in short, on the whole, to s um up;3)词汇。听熟基本句型结构，有丰富的英语语言知识——时态、语态、单复数等语法知识，如有大量词汇和词组，耳听会意就会迎刃而解。
(1)了解某些常用单词在口语中的不同意思。
- Would you mind waiting a few minutes?你等几分钟可以吗?No, I don't mind in the least.当然可以。
- Mind how you go.(道别时说)您慢走。- Mind your footing!小心，站稳了! - Susan minds the children while I'm at work.我工作时，苏珊照料孩子们。
- Mind your own business.别管闲事。
- Mind you go.你一定得去。
(2)善于抓住关键词。英语单词分为实词和虚词。实词指的是动词、名词、形容词、副词和数词。实词一般是强调词，语流较强，语速较慢，较容易听清。抓住这些关键词，对听懂语段是至关重要的。
(3)养成听VOA、BBC广播和阅读China Daily的习惯，从而获得有关词汇。
例如：①机构名称：UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization)联合国教科文组织; P .L.O. (Palestine Liberation Organiza tion)巴勒斯坦解放组织; UNICEF (United Nations International children’s emerg ency fund)联合国儿童基金会。
②人名：法国总统Francois Mitterrand；巴勒斯坦解放组织领袖Yasser Araf at;俄国总统Boris Yeltsin;美国总统夫人Hillary Rodham Clinton。
③国际、国内发生的大事件：Chinese satellite; the Clinton health care ref orm proposal; the U.S. handgun control legislation; Yugoslavia peace talks; Ch ina's new reform package，这些词汇的积累可提高听觉敏税的反应能力。
4)语言和非语言知识。
(1)除了扩大所学专业的各种知识外，必须了解英美国家文化、习惯、风俗，掌握必要的背景知识。听懂听力材料并非全靠语言信息，而要同时借助背景知识才能正确作出判断。所以阅读，吸取营养是提高听力理解的主要途径。
(2)建立英语环境。自觉运用英语进行思维和交流，积极参加课堂讨论，回答问题，作值日生报告。参加课堂各种活动本身就是一种自然的听力训练。
(3)加强泛听。大多数外语院校的听力课只有一周四节，主要用于精听训练，学习听力以及做题技巧和扩展语音、词汇和百科知识。但仅仅是精听是远远不够的，课后的泛听训练也十分重要。大量的输入能保证接触各种语言现象，使学过的语言现象在反复运用中得到巩固，培养语感。听力理解的提高必须有一定的量（泛听），才能保证质（精听）的飞跃。学到的英语知识只有在大量的泛听中得以证实，达到记忆。
以听力理解的三个部分来看：Section A是陈述部分。着重考学生对语音、
语调、语气、同音词和含否定意义的词的掌握情况，以及学生对涉及关系的词或短语的领悟能力，如人与人、人与物和物与物之间的关系；还有比较级的用法，如原级比较、比较级和最高级。Section B是对话部分。这是由两个人进行的对话，通常情况下是一男一女，但也有可能是两男或者两女进行对话。对话形式有一问一答式，也有场景对话式。这类题主要考学生对时间、地点、数字和人物的敏感度以及学生的逻辑推理能力，如要求考生根据对话双方所谈论的信息回答一些细节问题，或推测人物对某事件的态度、对话发生时的情景、对话者的言外之意等。而Section C是新闻报道部分。它一般由为学生们所熟悉的新闻报道、短评等组成。它们分别选自VOA和BBC，其题材广泛，内容几乎涉及人类生活的各个方面，由政治、军事、经贸、科技、工农业、文化教育、体育到法律、宗教、社会生活等无所不包，其基本词汇也涉及到各个领域。因此考生必须熟悉各类新闻报道语言的表达方式以及其写作形式与基本结构，这是考生理解录音内容的关键。
2.听力理解的基本应试对策对策之一：抓紧时间阅读选择项即充分利用时间，在听音之前先把本题的选择项快速浏览一遍。这样做至少有以下两方面的好处：第一，可以根据选项内容预测谈话或短文内容，以便对将要听到的材料从心理上有所准备。第二，可以扫除生僻单词、易混淆词对应试者听力上造成的障碍。
既然事先阅读选择项如此重要，那么该如何阅读选择项呢?由于可用来阅读
选择项的时间非常短，因此，对选择项必须采取快速阅读的方法，一定要避免逐词阅读，否则就不可能在听音前看完选择项。
由于选择项的长短、繁简不一，那么具体处理方法也应略有不同。当选择项都比较短时，可采用扫视的方法。例如：A. Running. B. Cycling. C. Fishing D. Hunting.; 考生只需用眼光掠过这组选择项，便可知这是四种不同的活动。又如：A. A double room. B. A single room. C. A room on the top floor. D. A room on the second floor. 这组选择项虽然稍长一些，但仅仅扫视一下也足以了解它们涉及的内容是“什么样的房间”。
当选择项较长时，应考虑分两步来处理。第一步从整体看，以发现某些共同成分；第二步采取竖读方法，着重看区别。选择项(尤其是较长的选择项)各项之间常常有相同的内容。有的四项之间都有；有的每两项之间有；也有其中三项相同，一项与之不同的(这一项内容往往是干扰信息)。所以应先整体扫视选择项，迅速发现其共同之处，然后将视线移至各项不同之处进行竖读(即由上向下看，而不是像一般阅读那样由左向右看)。例如：A. The workers had finished loadin g the truck. B. The workers had just started loading the truck. C. The workers had gone home. D. The workers had had a fight with the driver. 先从整体上看这组选择项，可以发现：每一项的前半部分相同，都是The workers had,再将视线移至后半部分竖读，重点看不同的部分。再看下面这组选择项：A. Her so n must leave for school at 7∶30.;B. Her son must go to work at 7∶30.;C. H er husband must have breakfast at 7∶30.;D. Her husband must get to office a t 7∶30.从整体上看，各项的最后一部分相同(at 7∶30)，并且A、B两项前半部分相同，都是Her son; C、D两项前半部分相同，都是Her husband。然后将视线移至中部竖读，重点看不同部分。用这样的方法看选择项，开始可能会感到不习惯而影响阅读速度，但经过一段时间的练习后，定会有所收益。掌握这种技巧后，不仅能加快阅读速度，使考生能在较短的时间内看完较长的选择项，而且能使考生对选择项中的共同部分与不同部分印象更深刻，这对确定听音重点十分重要。因此，在平时应注意训练，以提高这种技巧，使之成为习惯。
需要说明的是，上面所举的例子旨在介绍一种技巧，虽然具有一定的代表性，但却不能适用于所有情况。由于选择项自身的结构和每组选择项的组合形式千变万化，因此若遇到与上述例子大相径庭的情况时，则应另当别论。但有一点，都必须以快速法来处理，这一原则不能放弃。
对策之二：充分利用日常知识在做阅读理解题时都知道要充分利用日常生活知识(general knowledge)，也叫百科知识（encyclopedia knowledge）。
因为英语作为一种载体，它所反映的信息、知识一般都是日常生活中通过汉语早已熟知了的东西。所以可以把汉语中能掌握的相关知识作为理解英语短文的背景知识，从而降低理解难度。这种方法在大家做阅读理解时都会用到，但在听
力理解中，许多人就忘了，只知道一味地傻听。孰不知“锣鼓听声，听话听音”。高水平的听者，一听对方开口，便大致可以猜到对方下面要讲什么；或者一听对方的语气，便知道其真实含义是什么。因此，考生在听力测试中，一定要善于利用自己的日常生活知识，把听与理解结合起来。
在Section A和Section B部分的试题中，根据所看到的选项和所听到的关键词，就应该推断出所讲的是哪方面的内容。如：
【例1】You'll have to leave now; visiting hours are over.探视时间结束了，你该走了。
关键词：visiting hours探视时间涉及话题：医护方面对话人身份：医生，护士，患者或患者家属、朋友发生地点：医院可能涉及的词汇：nurse, ward, patie nt, symptom, treatment等等这些词汇都应该随之激活。
【例2】You will have to stand in line to make a deposit.存款要排队。
关键词：deposit存款涉及话题：银行业务对话人身份：银行职员与顾客发生地点：银行可能涉及的词汇：account, interest rate, balance, teller, cash, credi t等等。
【例3】You should use a good hairspray after you've had a wash and set.头发洗好做好之后，要用一种好的发胶。
关键词：hairspray (发胶)，wash, set涉及话题：美发对话人身份：美发师与顾客发生地点：发廊，美容院可能涉及的词汇：dryer (吹风机，烘干器)，bleac hing, nails, polish等等。
【例4】I need two cocktails for the table by the pool.我要两杯鸡尾酒，请放在靠游泳池的那张桌上。
关键词：cocktails;涉及话题：餐饮对话人身份：服务员与顾客可能涉及的词汇：waiter, beverages, snack, order, menu等等。
【例5】Here is the ticket for you, sir. You are speeding.这是罚单，先生，您超速了。
关键词：ticket, speeding;涉及话题：车辆违规对话人身份：警察与司机可能涉及的词汇：fine, speed limit, parking lot, traffic, suspend license等等。
或者根据语气，推断别人的真实含义是什么。如：【例6】M：I started dri ving at 8∶00 p.m. yesterday and arrived here at 5∶30 this morning.; W: Yo u drove all night? Q: What does the woman mean? A. Night driving can be d angerous. B. You should not have driven during the night. C. Why don't you drive all night? D. Did you really drive all night? 女士的话用的是陈述句式，但句末用的却是升调，表明她对男士开了一夜的车表示怀疑，不太相信。因此答案为D。
【例7】M: Wasn't that ice cream refreshing!(); W: You can say that ag ain.; Q: What does the man say about the ice cream? A. That ice cream wasn 't fresh, was it? B. That ice cream was very refreshing, wasn't it? C. There w asn't any ice cream in the refrigerator. D. Fresh ice cream wasn't available.;男士的话用的是否定形式的感叹句，句末用降调，表示了肯定的语气。因此答案应为B。另外，这四个选项中，对原文中的refreshing进行了干扰，设计了fresh, r efrigerator等干扰词，要特别小心。
【例8】M: Linda looked so tired these days. W: She looked OK to me. Q: What does the woman think of Linda? A. She saw Linda and me. B. Lind a said she was fine. C. She looked up the word for me. D. She considered sh e was all right.;女士的话用的是陈述句，但句末是升调，表示了她的那种无所谓的态度。答案为D。
【例9】M: You did all the housework in an hour by yourself? Are you t ired?; W: Am I tired? Q: What does the woman mean? A. Am I tired? B. I t ried very much. C. I'm totally exhausted. D. Have I been hired? 女士的话用
了疑问句式，句末用了降调，实际是反问，其含意是：“我累坏了，还用问吗?”故答案为C。B和D中的tried和hired都是原文中tired的干扰词。
【例10】M: You go ahead and sit next to John. I don't want him talking to me throughout the whole play. W: And I do?();Q: What does the woman mean? A. She wants someone to talk to. B. She doesn't want to be disturbed either. C. She doesn't mind talking to John. D. She really wants John to talk to her. 对话中女士虽用了陈述句式，但末尾用升调，实际是表示反问的语气，即表示不满：“难道我愿意让他和我说话吗?”故答案为B。【例11】M: Alan c ertainly got some good popular song records. W: Didn't he?(); Q: What do we learn from the woman's response? A. She agrees with the man. B. She thi nks Alan does not get good records. C. She doesn't know if Alan has any go od records. D. She doesn't know what the man means. 女士用了疑问否定的形式，句末用降调，表示她对此事有同感，赞同男士的看法。故答案A。
对策之三：充分运用推断和猜测能力在听力测试中，不必因听到生词就紧张。连续听到几个生词后，更要保持冷静、镇定，否则会影响整体的理解，而抓不住全文的中心思想。相信自己有能力借助于逻辑、常识、语法结构、语境和对主题的背景知识的了解来猜测没有听懂或漏掉单词的意思，通过推理，从听到的内容中得出正确答案。例如：The Security Council has prolonged its peace-keeping goal in the former Yugoslavia for another six months. A council resolution sai d economic restriction would continue unless the government in Belgrade stopp ed helping Serbian nationalists in Croatia.;这一篇录音的选择题有两题，分别如下：1. The Security Council has _______ it's peace-keeping mission in the for mer Yugoslavia for another six months. A) prolonged B) shortened C) stopp ed D) strengthened 2. According to the Security Council's resolution, continu ed economic embargo would be ______against the government in Belgrade if i t kept supporting Serbian nationalists in Croatia. A) imposed B) lifted C) s uspended D) raised;听这篇录音时，考生可能会碰到几个生词，如prolonged、Yugoslavia、restriction、Belgrade、Serbian和Croatia。
虽然这是一篇很短的新闻，但是一下子碰到这么多的生词，考生可能会感到紧张，这是没有必要的。首先考生面对这么多的生词时应该保持沉着冷静的心理，待静下心来后，考生不难发现Yugoslavia、Belgrade、Serbian和Croatia其实都是地名，在这里，考生可以不必对它们作过多的纠结，因此所剩的生词只有pro longed和restriction两个了。这两个词也是理解本文的关键词眼。从语法结构上来看，prolonged是prolong的过去式或过去分词，把prolong拆开来看，即pro 和long,当pro作为一个单独的词时，表示“赞成”的意思，当它作为前缀时，表示“支持”的意思；而long是“长”的意思，因此考生不难推断prolong可以表示“延长”之意。
分析到这里，考生可以很自然地知道第1题的答案是A。下面再来看restric tion一词，从词面上看，它是restrict的名词形式，仅知道这一点还不能确定它的意思，考生一时也很难把它与别的词语拉上关系，这时就必须通过上下文来猜测它的意思了。短文最后一句的意思是“经济封锁将继续，除非贝尔格来德政府停止帮助克罗埃西亚的塞尔维亚民族主义政党成员”。由此考生可猜测restriction
有“封锁、约束、限制”之意。因而可得到第2题的答案为A。当然，这一系列的分析、推断和猜测的过程都必须快速地在大脑中进行，以便为阅读下一道选择项留出时间。
通过这道题考生应该引起重视的是：要想全面提高英语水平（不管是听力还是阅读），只一味地背单词、抠语法是无效的，必须掌握一定的地理、历史、文化等方面的背景知识，才能轻松应对考试，好在外语专业的考生大部分在中学是读文科的，这些背景知识他们应该比较熟悉。
对策之四：举轻若重，举重若轻这主要是指应试者针对听力理解的三个部分题目的不同特点而采取的不同态度。在大多数人看来,Section A和Section B部分只是一些短叙述和短对话，应该比新闻报道的Section C部分容易得多。
因而在做Section A和Section B部分题目时往往产生轻敌思想，而在做Se ction C部分题目时又会盲目恐惧。这两种心态都不利于应试者发挥正常水平。实际上，Section A和Section B部分题目虽然短，但是只念一遍，因此一旦你
未听清楚某句话、甚至某个词，那么整个题也就无法做了。而且，其题目之间各自独立，没有任何联系，这使考生不但不能利用各个题目之间的线索互相推测，反而要求考生迅速转换思维。而Section C部分的短文题虽然长一些，但由于是就一个事件进行的报道，即使你听漏了某句话或某个词，有时也并不影响对全文意思的理解，而且还可以根据上下文加以推测。因此，从这个意义上讲，Sectio n A和Section B看似简单，其实并不简单，Section C部分看似复杂，其实并不复杂。事实上，根据出题难度的梯度原则——题目简单的地方问题较难，题目复杂的地方问题较简单，因此Section A和Section B部分的问题往往比较隐晦，需要进行一番推理才能得出正确答案；Section C部分的问题则往往比较直观，一般在原文中可以直接听到。基于这种情况，在处理Section A和Section B部分题目时一定要非常小心，即举轻若重。一般应注意力高度集中，选择答案时格外慎重；而处理Section C部分题目时可以稍微放松一点，不要害怕某句话、某个词没有听懂，只要顺着说话者的思路，抓住其中心意思就可以了，即举重若轻。
对策之五：边听边记。做听力测试题目时，考生应养成边听边记的习惯。如考生能基本听懂单句、对话和语段中的内容，但听完后发觉记不住某些内容，特别是数字、时间、日期、人名、地名等细节，这就证明在听力测试中，不能光凭大脑记忆，一听而过，而要养成听音过程中边听边记，这样在选择时就能有把握了。下面举几个例子说明一下，以便读者参考。
1)数字题和数字换算。
数字题的内容涵盖价格、房租、电话号码、街道门牌号等，大部分情况下需要进行计算才能得出正确答案，因此需要用笔在旁边记下一些数字。例如：M: I'll have these shoes. Please tell me how much I owe you.; W: They are 40 d ollars a pair, and 3 pairs make a total of 120. But today we offer a 10% disc ount.; Q: How much does the man have to pay? A) $120 B) $108. C) $9
0 D) $40.;这是一道价格计算题，答题的关键是听清鞋的价格和数量并进行换算。换算的关键词是“10 % discount”(打九折)。男士没说要买几双，只说“我要这些鞋”，但从女士的回答中可知他要买三双鞋，每双40美元，三双共120美元，
但打九折。因此考生应在草稿纸上快速地记下“40、3、120、10%”这几个数字，这样不难算出，男士要付的钱数应为108美元，故B项为正确答案。
2)时间题和时间表述。
时间题是听力测试中经常出现的题型，四个选项一般都是表达时间的数字，或是星期、年、月等词，偶有介词短语表达的时间。例如：M: Could you tell me the time-table of the school bus?; W: Well, the bus leaves here for the ca mpus every two hours from 7∶00a.m. But on Saturdays it starts half an hour later.; Q: When does the second bus leave on Saturdays? A) 7∶30 B) 8∶30.
C) 9∶00 D) 9∶30.;这是一道考快速反应能力的题，从录音中能听到的只有一个时刻表达点，即7∶00。every two hours, half an hour later和second是该题的关键，只有听懂了这两个要点，然后在草稿纸上记下它们，才能算出星期六第二班校车是九点半开车。
下面再看一道日期题：M: I'd like to make two reservations on Flight 651 for June 8th.; W: I'm sorry, we're booked up on the 8th. But we still have a few seats available on the 9th.; Q: When does the man want to leave? A) On the 6th of June. B) On the 8th of June. C) On the 9th of June. D) On the 19th of June.;从录音中能听到June 8th和June 9th两个日期，A项中的June 6t h是航班号的干扰项，D项中的June 19th是9th的干扰项，干扰作用不大。该题只要听到了“I'm sorry”,哪怕对(be ) booked up短语不熟悉，也不会影响正确的结论：男士要订8日的机票，但已订完，现在尚能订到9日的票，男士打算要走的日期肯定是8日，正确答案无疑为B。
3)地点题和地点判断。
地点题是听力测试中的常见内容，选项一般由表示地点的名词或介词加这类名词组成。有些地点是对话中直接提到的，有些是需要根据对话的内容来判断的，还有的两者兼而有之。例如：M: You can get a lot of practice in giving out ti ckets and handling hot el reservations. Later on, you can take telephone calls. W: That's great! Thanks, Mr. Thomson. I'll come to work tomorrow.; Q: Wher
e will the woman probably be working? A) In a hospital. B) In a library. C) In a travel agency. D) In a restaurant.;该题的问题部分是询问女士可能会去哪
里上班。在听录音的过程中，考生可以记下giving out tickets(分发车票/机票)、handling hotel reservation(处理订房事宜)以及take telephone calls(接电话处理业务)这三个短语。
四个选项中只有C项in a travel agency (在旅行社)与这些内容有关，其他三个选项与录音内容相距甚远。
4)人物题与人物特征。
人物题包括人物的职业、特征、身份以及与他人的关系。此类题经常提供一个情节，反映所涉及人物的关系或身份。大部分情况下，此类题的选择项是有固定形式的。要么是四个不同的职业，要么是四对不同身份的人。听这类题时，只要抓住与说话者的职业、身份有关的词，一般都能选中正确答案。例如：W: I' m looking for textbook for my psychology course. It's called “Introduction to Educational Psychology”. Do you have it?; M: Yes, we do. You'll find it in S ection 24 on the top shelf.; Q: What's the man's occupation? A) A teacher B) A psychologist. C) A librarian D) A publisher.;该题问的是男士的职业，即他的身份。从录音中可以知道，女士在找一本心理学的教科书，问男士是否有这本书。男士的回答是解题的关键，他说“我们有这本书，在顶层的24栏。”可见，男士是管理书籍的人员，而且是负责给别人找书的，因此，该题需要记下的关键词是find it in Section 24 on the top shelf，比较一下四个选项，他是图书管理员的可能性最大。
对策之六：心理完全放松。前面谈的都是与考题相关的知识。这里还想谈一点非知识性的东西。它也许不能被称作对策，但对于整个考试，特别是对听力考试十分重要。因此，姑且还是称之为对策，其实就是考试时的心理准备。
在测试过程中，由于紧张心情和焦虑的情绪等心理因素，会使原来熟悉的信息变得生疏；有时由于害怕成绩差，被其他同学视为水平低而产生的恐惧心理，使考生局促不安，影响正常发挥，结果在心理上对语言理解处于抑制状态，因为
情感因素会直接影响语言习得，所以考生一定要保持良好的心情，即考生必须充满信心，排除一切心理负担去应试。一般来讲，自信心越强，心情越放松，听的主动性就越高；反之则会丢三落四，影响听力效果。
分析专四听写错误提出提高能力建议
听写曾作为教学手段而历史源远流长，同时，作为测试综合技能的手段之一，听写可根据考试目的，对象等的不同，在选材难度，朗读遍数及速度，中间停顿时间的长短等方面，采用不同的形式，如：标准听写，部分听写，干扰听写，作文听写等。在TEM4中，采用的是录音式标准听写，也就是要求考生在15分钟内在全面理解所听内容的基础上准确无误地逐字逐句写出全文。目的是测试应试者的接收性（听）与产出性（写）语言技能，其理解，拼写，标点等的能力。所选材料广泛而不生辟，体裁可以为叙述性，描写性，或说明性，难度适中，不超出与听力同等难度，词汇以大纲要求的前四级为主，也有一些五，六级词汇，但不会出现太偏僻的人名，地名等专有名词或词汇，背景知识不需太复杂，不会超出大部分学生应该掌握的常识。
听写部分共占时大约15分种，计分15分，比重15%。全文大约150词左右，为一段或多段，共分15个意群，每个意群可能是词组，分句或单句。全文共朗读四遍。第一遍为正常速度，每分钟录音速度为大约120词，要求考生此时从整体理解全文内容，抓住中心大意，而不要着急写；第二，三遍为慢读，根据意群停顿，停顿时间大约15秒，要求考生准确写出所听内容；第四遍跟第一遍一样，仍为每分钟约120词，考生可边听边校对。全文听完后，有两分钟的复查时间，直到录音中听到“That's the end of dictation”，表示这一部分结束，该进行下一项听力内容了。
听写的成绩及错误分析
作为标准参照性质考试中的听写部分，教学及考纲对其的标准是：在全面理解所听内容的基础上准确无误地逐字逐句写出全文。并要求拼法和标点符号正确无误，错误率不超过8%。这也就是对二年级下英语专业学生的要求，那么考生这几年的实际情况如何呢？
94年对于8个高中低院校的600个考生进行抽样统计，其中349个考生在听写中得零分，占58%。95年全部考试人数中有1583个人得零分，占11.7%。9 6年有744人，占4.7%。
通过几年的抽样数据分析，不难看出这几年来参加考试的人数以每年超过1 0%的速度递增，考试的总体成绩也有所提高。而其中很重要的便是听写成绩的上升，直接影响了最后的总成绩。然而每年仍有不少人这单项只得零分，对照教纲
中对此的要求：错误率不超过8% 相差甚远，如若以60%的通过率来算，也应以9分为最低要求，然而结果仍不理想。
简单的数子，隐藏着形形色色的错误，在笔者所经历的阅卷过程中，听写中的几个明显错误是：1考生对这种标准听写形式的陌生, 对听写材料进行改写甚至发挥到加工成作文；2 不知如何利用第一遍听音时把握全文的大意(top-down approach), 而着急写，丢了西瓜捡芝麻(bottom-up)，只见部分单词而缺少骨架结构；3 同样，在第四遍结束后的两分钟复查时间里，不会很好地利用分析逻辑能力对有些明显的或介词搭配或词语进行校正，小错不断，或丢词，或写出的内容前后不通顺； 4 由于朗读中没有念出标点，而是靠学生自己听，判断选择，于是就出现全文没有标点符号，没有大小写，或所有的停顿处都是一种符号，或中文标点混用在英文短文里的情况。
提高听写能力的建议
针对听写的考试现状，考生如何提高听写成绩呢？
1. 考前要充分了解听写的形式，最好进行一次模拟实践，体会全过程。
2 根据朗读方式，选用相应的书写技巧。如在听第一遍时，重点听主题思想，重点词，掌握全局概念，不要一听录音就写，也许能写出前边的单词或句子，却有可能不知全文的大意；听第二遍和第三遍是以句子为单位重复的，在第二遍朗读录音时，要以意群为单位去理解，因时间关系，不可能一字一字地全部写下，所以要分清主次信息，抓句型和关键词（主语，谓语等），在听第三遍时，再把其它如修饰语，定冠词等遗漏内容补上，若有些词还来不及写，可用一些自己认识的缩略形式，甚至符号先代替，等最后一遍或复查两分钟时再恢复原形。因为评分不是以写出的单词多少而是先以是否原文的主要意思表达清楚，然后以是否有小的错误，如单复数，大小写，定冠词等扣分不同。如果在听的过程中有个别词或词组一下反应不出来，就不要苦苦纠缠单个的词，要跟着录音进行下一意群的听写，因为阅卷是以15个意群分割成15分，每个意群最多扣一分，所以个别词或句的错或漏不会影响其它的得分。而对于听不懂的单词，不妨写下音标，等回头检查时可再想。
3 运用期待语法的作用，听之前，根据题目展开联想，调集大脑中储藏的相关信息，同时仔细理解第一句，因为首句常是主题句，后边的句子围绕它进一步展开，这样，可以适当缩小范围，便于更快的入戏。
4. 听写是一项综合性的语言技能，包含了诸如听，写，单词量，语法结构，篇章理解，记忆力等各方面，因此，提高听写，关键就是加强各种相关知识和技能的训练。这也就牵扯到平时对各门功课的学习。
如提高听力水平，熟悉英美国家的说话发音的不同方式，语音语调，这是必要条件，但同时，如何把接收到的信息转化为自己的并产出，则要求其它的能力的配合，如对词汇的掌握及熟练程度，词语搭配：运用语法知识，有时即使没
听出来，也可补写出来。如单复数，时态等；还可利用逻辑推理能力，因为所听材料都是有意义的独立成文的，所以，检查中如发现不合逻辑思维的句子，可以肯定，所写有误，进而更正。
至于标点，是听出来的，可以利用二读三读时的停顿，一般地说，二读时，某个意群如有停顿，接下去是另一意群，那么两者之间可能有符号，如逗号，也可能没有，要看两者的关系，若是回读（三读这一意群，那么这之后肯定是表示完整的一句结束了，最有可能是句号。
5. 听写是个相对机械，容易操做的测试手段，但提高听写决不是一朝一夕，靠突击就可以的，加强相关能力训练，能够间接促进听写水平，同时，由教师或个人有计划有目的的反复实践听写，也可以促进巩固各项语言知识，发展运用知识的熟巧，促使语言能力向交际能力转化。
6. 最后，还要注意书写的整洁，清淅，用原珠笔或钢笔按要求书写，以便于评阅。

41.Apology Helps It is never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you have judged roughly, you said unkind things, and pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were so sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? It is frightening, isn’t it? It is frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now. 42. Sleep Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired? There is no one answer that applies to every individual. It is possible to feel “tired” physically and still be unable to fall asleep, because while your body may be exhausted, you do not feel sleepy. It is not so easy to simply “turn off”. Lack of sleep complicates matters even more. Experts say adults need at
专四听写与听力理解上外12套模拟题答案6-12 Model Test 6 Authority and Creativity In many countries, authority is seldom questioned, either because it is highly respected, or because it is feared . Sometimes, too, because rank has been important in certain societies for a long time, people have been trained never to question those in authority. In other countries, including America, children are trained to question and search for answers. When a child asks a question, he will often be told to go to the library and find the answer for himself. By the time students reach the age of 14 or 15, they may be developing exciting new ideas in all fields of science and arts . To encourage such creativity, there are many national prizes offered to students every year for their scientific discoveries and artistic accomplishments. This interest in questioning and searching may be considered by some people as bad for young people's manners. This impression may be created when visitors notice young Americans asking questions and arguing with older people . 1-5 CABDB 6-10 DCBDC 11-15 DACBC 16-20 DCADC 21-25 CBDBA 26-30 CDBAC Model Test 7 Driving in the US When driving in the United States, it’s a good idea to have an internaitonal driver’s license if you don’t have a state license. Each of the 50 states has its own traffic laws. For example, in some states drivers can pump their own gas at “self-service islands”, while in others this is not allowed. Drivers are expected to know and understand the laws even if they don’t live in the state. Get information when you cross the border into a state at a tourist information center. There is a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour, or about 80 kilometers per hour. Americans usually start and stop slowly and are generally polite about letting cars enter busy streets. They usually stop for people who are walking and let them cross the street first. In many states, you may turn right after stopping at a corner, even if there a red light. 1-5 DBABB 6-10 CCBBD 11-15 CBACD 16-20 BAACD 21-25 BABBD 26-30 CDADB Model Test 8 Why Do People Smoke
Popular Pastime of the English People One of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with their non-working time. Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are f lowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them. But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other ’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English. 4. British and American Police Officers Real policemen, both in Britain and the ., hardly recognize any commonpoints between their lives and what they se on TV — if they ever get home in time. Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them. The first difference is that a policeman ’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what ’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes. Useful Words and Expressions: 1. think much of 重视，尊重 2. in court 在法庭上 3. criminal 罪犯，犯罪者 4. guilty 犯罪的，有罪的 5. Living Space How much living space does a person need What happens when his space needs are not met Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival These are interesting questions.

英语专业四级听写50篇 前言 听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15％的比重，是考试的重要组成部分。 说起听写，正在准备和已经参加过英语专业四级考试的同学会说： “我能明白听写的内容，可写的时候就是跟不上！”“短文大意我明白，可是有的语我不 会写。” 这只反映出了问题的两个方面。一是听写速度不够快。二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。但是，这些不是问题的全部。在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中，很容易发现学生失分的具体问题： （1）没听懂，没听好，听写速度跟不上，写出的内容断断续续不连贯，学生因此大量失分； （2）有的词汇没听懂，拼写不够准确，这导致听写失分； （3）时态错误导致失分； （4）单复数不准确导致失分； （5）没有注意断句或专有名词，句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分； （6）没有注意原文冠词的使用，书写时漏掉冠词导 致失分； （7）没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分； （8）没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。 上述问题的产生有的是缺乏训练造成的，如书写速度跟不上。有的则是语言基础较 差造成的，如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写 等则多是粗心大意造成的。 听写部分能提高吗？ 当然能！而且提高的空间很大。 笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究，从一开始所带的教学班参加四级考试超过全国 院校平均通过率28．2个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12．5个百分点开始，所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito％，平均成绩、优秀率始终名列 前茅。最近一次所带的教学班参加四级统考，又考出了很好的成绩，通过率超过全国院 校平均水平26石个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校13．6个百分点，而且在十几个平行 班中平均成绩是最高的，优秀人数也是最多的。在四级考试中，听写一项的成绩也不例外，每次均位居第一，本项目满分15分，所带班级平均成绩能够达到14分。 是不是学生基础很好？统计表明，和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别 优势。 教学经验表明，听写成功的关键是训练方法和体现训练方法的训练材料。 听写训练过程中无论是老师还是学生都有必要注意以下几点： 二．扭握淤轿肘虚度大纲要求第一遍用正常速

W:Not yet, there's still something that I'm not sure. Do you know if Professor Smith's economics 102 is still available to all undergraduate students? M:No, I don't think so. Last semester I tried to register in that course but all the other people told me not to. W:Why not? M:They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. W:Really? M:(I ) Jack tqld me that Professor Smith usually uses lots of formulas inside class. So you'd better make sure that you are extremely familiar with these formulas if you are seriously considering taking his course. W:What a shame I (2)My friends all told me that Professor Smith has lots of original ideas and he really can stimulate students to think. But I don't think I have the mathematical skills to keep up with the others. M:lf you want to take the course so much, why don't you register in a course in higher mathematics first? W. But I'm afraid that I will miss Professor Smith's course when I finish the mathematics course. M:Hey, I heard that Professor Smith would give the same course in the semester that starts next fall.

Please write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE. In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
