为了适应新的形势下社会对大学生英语听力能力需求的变化，进一步提高听力测试的效度，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会自2016年6月起将对四、六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。
调整后的大学英语四级考试，取消了短对话与短文听写，新增3篇新闻听力。六级考试取消短对话与短文听写，听力篇章由3篇减少为2篇，新增讲座听力3篇。
四级新闻听力对于大部分考生来说是一个全新的挑战，新闻听力的考点通常在哪些地方？哪些关键词需要特别注意？练习新闻听力时需要掌握哪些要点？寒假已至，即将在6月迎来四级考试的考生不妨参照以下方法练习备考。
1.把握脉络主旨新闻听力题型有少量题目是考查新闻主旨的，且题目形式一般相对固定（例如：What did the speaker want to tell us in this passage? / What is the speaker mainly talking about? / What is the passage mainly about?）。主旨类题型虽然出现的频率并不高，但理解大意是理解细节和准确推断的前提，建议大家在练习听任何一篇材料时，首先问自己一个问题：这篇文章主要在讲什么？
2.掌握六个要素一篇标准的新闻报道,必须包括六大要素,可概括为“5个W”和“1个H”：when(新闻发生时间)、where(新闻发生地点)、who(新闻涉及人物)、
1
what(新闻事件)、why(新闻发生的原因)、how(新闻事件的背景、如何促成这一事件、后续情况如何等)。新闻的六个要素是常设的考点，听新闻时注意把握以上六个要素，便可轻松理出头绪。
3.重视新闻首句新闻首句俗称“新闻导语”，是对整个报道的浓缩和概括。新闻导语通常包含多个新闻要素，听懂了新闻导语，也就知道了新闻的主要内容。比如The gates of Guantanamo were open to the media today这一新闻导语中，便包含了when（today）、who（Guantanamo）、what（open to the media）这三个要素。
4.学会预读选项预读选项要与预测要点结合起来，通过分析选项的特点，预测新闻大意和出题方式。具体方法是：1）通读选项关键词预测主旨。抓住每个选项的关键词并作好标记，将几个题目的选项内容综合起来，在头脑中形成整体印象。2）通过选项结构预测出题方式。选项是对问题的回答，通过回答方式可以预测提问方式，提高对重点信息的敏感程度。
5.关注连接词汇连接词在语言表达中有重要作用，连接词可以告诉我们“下面举几个例子”、“下面该转折了”、“下面该说原因了”等重要信息。听新闻时加强对各类连接词（例如：and, besides, but, however, otherwise, although, because, since, so, hence, such as, for instance, as follows, if, supposing）的关注，理解内容时便会容易些。
6.学习新闻词汇尽管新闻报道所使用的词汇量很大，但其使用的基本词汇是稳定
的，比如VOA的Special English的常用词汇仅1500个左右。要想听懂新闻
2
听力，有必要学习一些专门的新闻词汇，如Foreign Aid, National Election等政治类词汇，WTO, deficit, share-list等经济类词汇，Space Station, 3-D printer, Mars等科技类词汇。另外，新闻报道中常会出现一些人名、国名、公司名等专有词汇，若能熟悉一些热门的专有词汇（如Obama, Iran, IBM等），在听新闻时便能做到快速反应，准确理解。
7.熟悉语音知识听力材料中有很多的连读、失爆等语音现象。熟悉这些语言现象，才能准确识别单词和句子。常见语音现象有以下三种：1）连读。连读的发生频率很高，若平时没有连读的习惯，通常较难识别连读的单词，造成对信息的误解。平时听英语材料时应注意连读现象，并进行一定的跟读练习。2）失爆。当爆破音/p/ /b/ /k/ /g/ /t/ /d/ 中的任意两个或同一个重复出现时，前一个音不发音，直接发后一个爆破音。例如: sit down中的/t/不发音，a big deal中的/g/不发音。3）以辅音/h/开头的词，若其前一个词以辅音结尾，则/h/不发音，直接连读到/h/后面的元音。例如：lend him a book中的/h/不发音。
8.边听边记笔记听力内容信息量大，语速快，除非经过特殊速记训练，否则是不可能全都记下来的。所以，应学会记录关键内容（动词、名词和形容词等），因为它们往往承担着最有价值的信息。应掌握一定的速记方法，比如用缩写形式（例如：BJ表示“北京”、imp表示important）或符号（例如：“？”表示why）等。
9.泛听大量新闻泛听能增强对英语语音、语调、句型的感观认识，提升语感。针
对新闻听力来说，VOA（分Special English和Standard English两种，前者
3
语速约90词/分钟，后者语速约135词/分钟）、BBC、CNN等都是不错的泛听材料，考生可根据需要自行选择。
10.精听定量新闻精听的一个重要练习方法是听写，这是提升听力能力非常有效的方法。若能听写一定量的新闻，则可以充分熟悉英语新闻的结构。第一步总听全文，明确主题；第二步细听意群，记录关键信息；第三步精听单词，查缺补漏；第四步对照原文，思考总结。在听写训练中，尤其需要注意那些自己听错的地方，分析为什么听错。精听时注意选择难度适宜的材料。

Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.
Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It's been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company's decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token ￡1 failed.
11
The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain's slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.
Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.
Many of the store group's 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.
3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?
4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?
Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.
Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That's due in part to the removal of many of the capital's old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.
After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.
The idea has proved popular with custo mers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don't have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.
5. What change took place in Cairo recently?
6. What helped bring about the change?

7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?

W: What is it about, please?
M: Well, I understand that your company has a chemical processing plant. My own company, LCP, Liquid Control Products, is a leader in safety from leaks in the field of chemical processing. I would like to speak to Mr. Grand to discuss ways in which we could help TGC protect itself from such problems and save money at the same time.
W: Yes, I see. Well, Mr. Grand is not available just now.
M: Can you tell me when I could reach him?
W: He's very busy for the next few days – then he'll be away in New York. So it's difficult to give you a time.

W: Who in particular?
M: A colleague for example?
13

Passage One
In today's class, we'll discuss Toni Morrison's novel Beloved. As I'm sure you all know, Morrison is both a popular and a highly respected author, and it's not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experi ence ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an ―African-American writer‖ doesn't seem to do her justice. In many ways, she's simply an American writer—and certainly one of our best. Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993.
What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality.
16
We'll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I'm particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that she's a woman? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?
17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?
18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison's novel Beloved? Passage Two
The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you're invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don't give gifts on other occasions except on someone's birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don't generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning.
Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples. But let's not miss the main point here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17
19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?
20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?
21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?
Passage Three
Hetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.
Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty's meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.
When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?
23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?
24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?
25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?

怎样提高学生的听力能力 听是我们接收和理解外界信息的重要手段。没有听，就没有说，也就无法进行语言交流。中学英语教学大纲中把听作为四项基础技能能之一，并且把它放在了首位，由此可以看出听力的重要性。中学生学习英语首先应当从听开始，如果不懂得去听，就无法把所学的语言知识运用到实际交际中去，同时也会直接影响到对英语学习的整体水平的提高。在多年的外语教学中我发现，学生在学习英语过程中存在的最大问题，也是共同的弱点，就是：“听力差”。听力一般差的同学，对听力材料看懂听不懂；什么听力一点都不好的同学，就连听老师讲课都有困难。 而我认为，导致学生听力能力差的基本原因是学生没有正确的掌握词汇的发音、充足的词汇量和相关的语法知识。听力的理解过程是人们运用各种知识和技能的过程。具体问题有：语音障碍。有些学生刚开始学习英语时就没有准确的掌握单词的发音，特别是对同音不同意的单词难以辨别。英美语音差异，英美英语除了在词汇上有一些差异之外，在语音上也有不相同的地方，有些读音差别还相当大。我国英语教学基本采用英国语音教学体系。近年来，随着我国的对外开放，美音教材也逐渐的增多，并有开始流行的趋势，有些学生因为不熟悉英美语音的差异，就产生了听力障碍。语速障碍，中学生平时学习都以课文磁带为准，速度较慢，如果再遇到一些语速较快的连读、弱读、重读、爆破、重音转移等有关语音和语调变化的听力材料，便无计可施了，所以平时训练时就应该循序渐进，逐步向大纲要求转变。词汇障碍，学生自身对英语词汇量掌握的多少，与所掌握词汇的准确程度，直接影响听力理解。 如何利用我们现有的条件来提高学生们的听力水平呢？我个人认为：要注意学习的方法，通过长时间的、艰苦的训练，才可以达到预期的目的。当然，听力也是学生们的一种能力，必须加强引导，培养他们的兴趣，使他们没有惧怕心理；无论课上课下，坚持实用英语和学生进行交流，营造英语氛围。只有在老师和学生的共同努力下，才能使英语听力水平不断提高。 一、教师应该在平时的课堂教学过程中应注意的 1.培养学生对听力的兴趣 兴趣作为心理倾向是一种稳定的，而非偶然的、暂时性的指向。兴趣在教学活动中有着重要的意义，主要表现在一旦引起了学生的兴趣，学生就会对学习产生强烈的求知欲望，明显地表现出对所学内容必须理解，必须掌握的心理倾向，因而就学得十分积极主动，也很有成效。反之，学生便会产生厌倦的情绪，学习也会处于一种压抑的状态。想要提高学生的听力水平，教师就要想办法让学生对英语听力产生兴趣。教师要注意挑选一些难易适中，适合学生实际语言交流的材料。另外，选择的材料必须要有趣味性。选听的内容可以是故事、歌曲或着学生感兴趣的话题，也可以组织学生唱一些简单的英文歌曲。用来激发他们听英语的兴趣。 2.创造环境，培养学生听力的习惯 刚开始听英语录音的时候，大多数学生爱依赖书本，不是用眼睛盯着书本，就是一边听一边看，看起来非常专心。但实际上这种对听力内容的理解还是靠视觉的帮助，不是靠语音和语调等。这样做是不利于提高听力水平的，会妨碍学生理解文章的含义。鉴于以前，学生在听录音之前应当让他们合上书本，介绍一些能妨碍他们理解录音内容的单词、用法和故事情节等，然后要求学生们闭上双眼，集中精力听录音.根据所听的内容提出一些自己的问题和看法。最后再打开课本，这样可以让学生养成聚精会神仔细听的习惯。 3.注重语言基础知识教学 3.1打好音标基础。音标是单词的前身，是提高英语听力的助力器。因而，音标是提高学生听力水平的先决条件。 3.2认真教授语法知识。只有认真学好英语语法知识，才能掌握基础的英语语法知识，学生才能理解句中所含的意思，特别是一些复合句。 3.3扩大词汇量。在听力训练中，如果遇到的生词太多，就很难懂得整篇文章的大意，因此我们要引
A Cheap Parking Lot Before going to Europe on business, a woman drove her new so the women handed over the keys to her Rolls-Royce. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The bank bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the woman for using a $250,000 Rolls-Royce as collateral garage and parked it there. Two weeks later, the woman walked through the bank's doors and "Wait, Miss," the loan officer said, " While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire.

Before going to Europe on business, a woman drove her new Rolls-Royce to a downtown bank in New York City and went in to ask for a loan of $5,000. The bank officer said the bank would need some kind of security for the loan, so the women handed over the keys to her Rolls-Royce. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The bank agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the woman for using a $250,000 Rolls-Royce as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeded to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there. Two weeks later, the woman walked through the bank's doors and asked to settle up her loan and get her car back. "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $20.30 in interest," the loan officer said. The woman wrote out a check and started to walk away. "Wait, Miss," the loan officer said, "We're very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire.

如何训练学生英语听力 听是人们进行言语交际的重要手段，是学习英语的重要途径之一。训练听力有助于全面提高学生的英语交际能力。随着英语新教材的启用，加强学生的听力训练，提高学生听力理解水平，已经受到广大英语教师的高度重视。但是，目前初中英语的听力教学还处于起点阶段，距新课标所规定的目标尚有一定的距离。曾经有人在初三学生中做过一次关听力测试的问卷调查，统计结果表明，近50% 的学生以为目前英语学习中最感困难，最为头疼的是听力理解，37%的学生感到每次考试之后听力部分是最没有把握的。听力理解障碍何在？如何培养学生听英语的能力，提高他们的听力水平，是当前英语教学中亟待解决的问题。 一、听力理解障碍 1、语言基础知识的障碍 听力是听和理解的总和。听力理解的过程是人们运用各种知识和技能的过程。在听的过程中，学生对语言基础知识掌握程度的高低决定了听力理解及反应速度的差异。 语音障碍 : 有些学生一开始就没有掌握每个单词的准确发音，长此以往，特别是对发音相近的词，不能正确辨别一些容易混淆的音素，如 sheep---ship,house---horse. 语速障碍 : 有些英语教师讲课语速比较慢，学生形成了习惯，遇到正常的语速的听力材料就不能适应。如再遇到一些连读，弱读，重读，失爆，重音转移等语音语调的变化，更是无所适从。 英语语音差异 : 英美英语除了在词汇上的差异外，在读音上也不尽相同，有些读音差别还相当大。而我国英语教学过去基本上采用英国英语教学体系。随着对外开放，美音教材增多并有流行的趋势，有些学生因不熟悉英美语音的差异，就产生了听力障碍。 词汇障碍 : 学生英语词汇量的大小，掌握的熟练程度，一词多义和同音异义的现象，都有给学生听力理解造成一定的困难。 2、母语干扰的障碍 许多学生在听到一段语音信息后，常受母语干扰，习惯用中文逐句逐词翻译出来，而不能直接将语音信息转化为一定的情景，不能直接用英语进行思维，多了个中间环节，这种心译影响了反应速度和记忆效果。 3、文化背景知识的障碍
Unit 7 Task 1 【答案】 1) They are Emma, Mark and Jane. 2) Emma wants a joke book; Mark wants a model train, and Jane wants a radio. 3) The joke book costs two pounds fifty. The radio costs twenty-seven pounds ninety-nine pence. We don’t know the exact price of the model train, but it must be very expensive. 【原文】 Jane: What are you doing Emma Emma: I’m writing to Father Christmas. Mark: Oh —she’s asking for Christmas presents. What do you want Emma Emma: Well, I can read now. I like books. So, I want a joke book. Jane: Look. Here’s one in this magazine. It costs two pounds fifty. It’s very nice. Emma: Yes, it is. I know, I can ask Father Christmas to bring presents for you and Mark, too. Mark: Good idea! Well, I like... Jane: Trains! You like trains. We know. M ark: So I want this train. Look. Isn’t it splendid Jane: Mark, that model train costs... Mark: Yes, Jane, I can see the price, but look at it. Jane: Well, I don’t want a train. Emma: There are some nice dolls. Jane: Oh Emma. I’m fifteen years old. I don’t like dolls. I want a radio for my bedroom. Then I can listen to all my favourite songs. Mark: A radio. Here’s one. Look. It costs twenty-seven pounds, ninety-nine pence.

小学英语听力课堂分析 英语已经成了这个时代不可或缺的一步分了，而作为小学英语听力，之它于小学英语教学是十分重要的，之于以后对英语的学习也是不可或缺的，文章从教学目的、训练方法、所遇到的问题三个方面剖析了小学英语听力的该要的授课方式。 一、“听”在教学中的地位 “听”是人们交际活动的基本的形式。弗里斯说：“学生学会说英语的前提首先是听。”亚里山大也说过，“掌握一种语言，首先是听懂，听懂的比重占有90%，能听懂才觉得舒服，听不懂就觉得不自在。”由此可见，听在英语诸多的交际功能中占主导地位。在当今社会中，随着各种媒体的广泛使用，听的素质变的日益重要了，但当前小学英语教学中仍存有重书写，轻听说的现象，学生听力培养和提升往往被忽视。低年级教材要求我们教师要增强小学生的读和听，到了高年级这个方面的要求教师好像就不自然的放松了，在完成了四年英语学习的小学生中，英语笔试水平卓而不凡的不乏其人，但每当听别人说英语却是一头雾水，糊里糊涂。为改变这种状况我们必须增大听力训练，因而注重并增强听力教学方法的探索与研究，是提升小学英语听力水平的关键所在。 二、听力训练的一般方法 1、用英语组织教学，使英语听力经常化 课堂是实施英语听力训练的主阵地，要为学生创造一个良好的语言环境，就必须用英语组织教学。例如：在一篇课文的Dialogue教学中，向学生出示一副画着漂亮自行车的图片，然后对学生说：look at this picture , what can you see ?(I can see a bike ). 通过这样的情景教学，即使学生不看书，也能容易听懂对话内容,从而增加了学生在课内接受听力训练的机会。

At least 5.59 million students will⑴colleges this year, 13 percent more than last year, the Ministry of Education has said. They face⑵pressure in the job market as about 700,000 graduates, who could not find work last year will⑶them for e mployment; the People’s Daily website has ⑷the minister of human resources and social security, as saying. But this could mean⑸graduates in rural areas and small towns. About 20,000 graduates hav e⑹to work in the countryside, in fields such as education, agriculture, and poverty-alleviation. And many others, including 200 from Tsinghua University, have⑺work in the regions hit by the May 12 quake. College graduates are encouraged to work in western and rural areas where many jobs ar e ⑻, Ministry of Education spokesman said. Those who have worked in rural areas for two years enjo y ⑼treatment in recruitment for government organs and state enterprises, and get bonus points if they take th e ⑽exams. “We encourage college graduates to start their own business, too, and get⑾treatment,” said Wang Yadong, deputy director of the training and employment department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. Such graduates enjoy a 20 percent income tax cut for start-ups, and the government⑿them to start a business. Passage 2 Multiculturalism is a⑴with many meanings.

The hope is t o⑻students to understand how other culture s ⑼the world. Multiculturalists reject the idea of a ⑽pot and assimilation (同化); they dismiss the idea that national identity must⑾ a common heritage and values. Critics argue that multicultural education creates conflict among groups more than it fosters⑿of one group for another. Cultural pluralism, critics contend,⒀rivalry (敌对) and divisions. Moreover, they assert, European traditions remain central to American culture and institutions (风俗). Some critics find multiculturalism a token (象征性的) gesture⒁to hide continuing domination of American culture by the majority group. Others argue that⒂of cultural differences and grou p ⒃does not help address social and economic disadvantages. .

Can I help you? Student: Yes. I’d like to enroll for the course. Secretary: Certainly. What’s your family name, please? Student: Williams. Secretary: Could you spell that for me?
上好英语听力课的技巧(一) 摘要：听力训练一直是教学中的弱点，学生对听力考试望而生畏。如何提高中学生的英语听力水平，一直是很多英语教师不断探索的问题。本文就如何上好英语听力课发表了个人的看法。 关键词：听力；预读；信息词 初中英语测试题是以教学大纲为基准，以中考为准绳的综合试题。试题的内容一般由听力部分、单项选择题部分、完形填空、阅读理解、完成句子、任务型阅读、补全对话及书面表达组成。 听力是英语学习中的四项基本技能之一，在听说读写的全面发展中，听是先锋。它主要是考察学生对词汇知识、语音语调等语言知识、句型综合知识的掌握情况。学生在做听力时往往有这样一种感觉：听力内容不难但是做起题目来没把握。问题就出在听力解题技巧不够或平时没有养成良好的听的习惯。如何提高学生这方面的能力，要做好以下三件事：预读，掌握关键词和关键句，听关键词或信息词。 一、预读 听力之前要求学生把听力部分的所有试题预读一遍以做到心中有数，听的时候胸有成竹，做起来得心应手。比如西安市碑林区2008~2009学年度第一学期期末调研测试八年级英语试题听力部分的第一题“听句子选答语”的5个小题： ()1.A.TheTeensClothesStoreB.DumplingHouseC.TimeCinema ()2.A.EatmoremeatB.DrinkmorewaterC.Exercisemoreeveryday
()3.A.IamfreeB.Yes,sureC.No,thanks ()4.A.TwodaysB.TwiceamonthC.Fortwodays ()5.A.IamgoingtoexerciseeverydayB.IamgoingtoeatmorevegetablesC. Iamgoingtostudyreallyhard. 根据各题的每个选项的答语，可以大体猜出问句的内容。如第1题的四个选项给的都是地点，预读的时候把所给的三个地点名称熟悉一下。第2题的A选项回答是吃的，问句肯定是关于食物的；B选项回答的是喝的，问句肯定是关于饮料的；C选项是关于锻炼方面的。第3题的A选项没用Yes或No回答问题，说明问句不是一般疑问句，可能是选择疑问句或其他的句子，B，C选项用的是Yes和No来回答问题，说明问句是一般疑问句，从B项的Yes,sure来判断，问句可能是类似提出能否帮忙的话题，从C项的No,thanks来判断，问句可能是问对方还要不要再吃点什么或喝点什么的话题。第4题的三个选项都是关于时间的，选项A的twodays是时间段，但前面没有用for来引导，从语法上就可以排除；选项B是关于频率的，问句肯定是以howoften开头，C项回答是时间段，问句会是以Howlong开头。第5题回答的是打算做某事。这样预读分析之后，听起来就简单容易得多。 二、掌握关键词和关键句 这种做法是指听短文，选答案可以用得到。比如2008~2009学年度第一学期期末调研测试七年级英语试题的听力部分的第三大题“听短文，选答案”的五个题目：
