After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.
The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground
beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.
1. What is the news report mainly about?
2. When did the incident occur?
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.
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 customers ― 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?
Section B

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.
M: Could I speak to someone else, perhaps?
W: Who in particular?
M: A colleague for example?
W: You’re speaking to his personal assistant. I can deal with calls for Mr. Grand.

Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
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 experience 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.
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 occasion s 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.
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 a bout Hetty’s daughter?

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
W: Hello.
M: Hello, is that the reference library?
W: Yes. Can I help you?
M: I hope so. I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, the scientist. You asked me to ring back.
W: Oh, yes. I have found something.
M: Good. I’ve got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.
W: Certainly. Hawtin, Denys. Born: Darlington 1836; died New York 1920.
M: Yes. Got that.
W: Inventor and physicist. The son of a farm worker, he was admitted to the University of London at the age of fifteen.
M: Yes.
W: He graduated at seventeen with a first class degree in Physics and Mathematics. All right?
M: Yes, all right.
W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen. It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became
professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, where he remained for twelve years. During that time he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby.
M: Yes. Go on.
W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundation of modern Physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime Hawtin patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?
M: Yes. When did he go to America?
W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York, and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still, he was a good age.
M: Yes. I suppose so. Well, thanks.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What do we learn about Denys Hawtin when he was 15?
2. What did Denys Hawtin do at the age of 24?
3. For what were Denys Hawtin and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time?
4. Why did Denys Hawtin go to New York?
Conversation Two
W: This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ newsroom, talking with Mike Bassichis, who is the director of the Gifford School, about the cleanup from last week’s fire and what the possible cause of that blaze may have been.
M: We’re getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow whereupon we are going to move into temporary classrooms. And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been determined.
W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have had the same problem?
M: No. I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself. All I know is that this fire went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly. And it may be that there was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody.

Section B
Directions:In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
In today’s personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life. This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive. And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being funny isn’t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown. It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws. He has found that humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others. “It’s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently,” says Martin. We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.
Though humor is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self. Those who use self-defeating humor, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone. Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. How do people today view humor according to the speaker?
10. What did the ancient Greeks think of humor?
11. What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor?
Passage Two (female voice)
And now, if you’ll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we’re going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think you’ll agree it has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grand houses you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside, which were lit up at night. A very attractive sight.
As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, which would add to the relaxed atmosphere. The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak. It’s rather remarkable for the fact that although it is extremely big, it’s supported by just six r ather slim legs. However, it seems to have survived like that for two hundred years, so it’s probably going to last a bit longer. The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set—there were originally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and no arm-rests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past.
And now, ladies an d gentlemen, if you’d like to follow me into the Great Hall …Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What do we learn about the speaker?
13. What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting?
14. What is said about the oval table in the room?
15. What does the speaker say about the chairs?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions. The recordings will be played only once.

Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19. Moderator:
Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:
Dr. Miller:
Thank you for that introduction. Today, I’d like to preface my remarks with a story
from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, in my grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he fel t he wasn’t important anymore.
For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.
Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.
First of all, I’d like to talk about . . .
16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Miller’s a rticles and books?
17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Miller’s grandfather?
18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?
19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speech?
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.
The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious and long-lasting impacts.
Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.
Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will
stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”
Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.
“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”
The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem. “It’s not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don’t have the politicians on board, and also the...people that implement [programs] in the field.”
Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to
pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.
Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.
“They really did very active promotion of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”
Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she says nations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.
20. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding children’s unde rnourishment in their earliest days of life?
21. What does IFPRI’s Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life?
22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980s?
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.
I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the product or service. There are certain products and services that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.
Suitable products generally have a high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvious examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to post, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop computers are another good product for selling online.
Digital products, such as software, films and music, can be sold in a purely virtual environment. The goods are paid for by online transactions, and then downloaded
1三长一短就选短，三短一长就选长。两长两短就选B，参差不齐C 无敌。2 以蒙为主以抄为辅 蒙抄结合保证及格 正文： 蒙选择题方法。20道题至少能对15道。 由于我的英文不是很好，所以我苦心钻研蒙技。我发现了很多关于选择题的规律，十分好用。在开学考试时，总共有20道选择题，我蒙对19道（我们班的英语神童沈宜人错了两道题。沈宜人同学据说背了两万单词，可以轻易读懂原版《简爱》）。 也就是说，这个蒙题技术有时远远高过自己本身水平。 这个蒙，总共有三点技巧。 一、找共同点。 比如说有一道题的选项有四个： A.study B.to study C.learning D.to read 可以看出，其中的study有两个；其中的不定式也有两个。所以两个显著特点集于一身的to study的选择可能性就十分的大。 二、找矛盾点（适用于单选）。 比如一道题问： 下列关于密度的说法中，错误的是： 其中，有两个这样的选项：
B.质量相同，体积大的物体密度小。 D.质量相同，体积大的物体密度大。 这就可以看出，一定其中有一个是错误的——唉，你别笑！有很多的题中，都会有矛盾的地方。只要找出矛盾，再蒙的几率就大多了。 三、培养“蒙感” 这个所谓“蒙感”，就是这蒙题的感觉。因为不可能一面卷子上你一道题也不会做（当然也有例外），你也有很大可能有不会做的题。这时，就要看蒙题的感觉了。所有考试的人都知道，选择题中选择B、C选项的占绝大多数。所以遇到不会的题，就往B、C上靠，几率会大一点。 还有，如果你有很多题不会——比如说五道题里你有三道不会，那就要看你平时做题的感觉了。下面有一些选项，我感觉大多数时，选项会和以下相同，大家看一看： A: AAABC AACBB AABBC ABAAC ABACA ABDDC ACABC ACBBC ACABD ADACC ADCAA ADBAD B: BACBB BACCA BABDC BBBCC BBACA BBABC(有时也会是BBBBD BBBBB) BCBBA BCABC BCDAA BDACC BDDAC BDCAD

李旭老师英语六级听力答题技巧讲解 首先从外部条件来说。 大家在考六级听力时最好准备能罩住耳朵的大耳麦，并使用降噪耳塞塞进耳朵(就是大家课堂上睡觉时所用的隔音耳塞)。有的同学可能会想用隔音耳塞赌注耳朵还能听到耳机里的声音么？这个大家可以放心，声音是靠固体传播的，降噪耳塞技能有效去除考场外的杂音，又能帮你清晰听到耳机里传出的录音的声音，保证大家不受外部环境的影响。 接下来讲六级听力必备的一些答题技巧。 六级听力对话部分答题要点 1.利用8-12秒的时间，迅速浏览选项，判断题型 2.分析选项之间的逻辑关系并加以标记 3.预判正确答案在原文中出现的位置 4.听清问题，得出答案 下面为大家展开介绍六级听力短对话及长对话答题技巧： 短对话要采用第二句中心原则两个人对话，一般回答问题即第二个人说的话比较重要，如果第一句没听清，千万不要纠结。仔细听第二个人的回答，还是很容易找出答案的。小对话多采用所听非所答原则。长对话要采用所听即所得的答题原则，一般你听到的就是答案。 如果实在没听清的话，在蒙答案时要首先排除与其它三个都不相关的选项，优先选择意义比较深刻的选项。大家要记住一个顺口溜：医院无大病，车毁人不亡。所以，一般去医院看病，得的病大多是感冒咳嗽拉肚子之类的。出车祸之后司机的人身安全还是有保障的。考试没考好都有人第一时间出来安慰的。大家一定要记住这些规律 六级听力短文部分答题要点 1.预览选项，判定文体 2.分析选项间的逻辑关系（与其它选项逻辑明显不相符的首先排除） 3.找到不同题干下相关联的内容(实词相关原则) 4.把握10组key words(关键词) 参考：英语四六级听力过程中需注意的关键词 六级听力听写话部分 1. 预览原文判定文体，确定时态 2. 预判36-42题，判定词性，词形 3. 第一遍放音时写 1 3 5 7 9 ，以听懂主要意思为主要目的，记录信息为次要目的 4. 第二遍放音时按顺序书写，并利用速记方法尽量多的记录信息 5. 第三遍放音时查缺补漏，精听具体词汇的细节变化 6. 从经常丢分的原因出发，检查核对 六级听力之所以困难也是因为对话中涉及到很多连读，为了帮助同学们对连读有一个更
四级听力蒙题技巧 英语听力在考试中起着重要的作用。那么四级英语听力有哪些蒙题技巧呢？大家一起来看看吧！ 边听听力边蒙 如果你听听力是那种一知半解，只能听懂简单的对话的话，建议你边听听力边做题。听懂的自己写，听不懂的再蒙。 如果四个选项中有两个或者三个你能感觉到在刚刚的听力中又听到，这时候建议选择你没听到的那个。这种题一般是推断题，推断出的内容一般不会出现在听力原文当中。 如果一题的答案中有两个答案是近似的，只有一个单词或者短语不同，那么你可排除其余答案，再看这两个答案中的中心单词有没有和你排除的两个答案中重复的，如果有的话，你基本可以锁定那个正确答案了。 注意否定类的题目，这些对话中多含有not,no,neither,nor等否定词，也有but,although等转折词，或由wouldrather,too...to结构及虚拟语气等表达。要注意这些答案表达的都是否定含义，所以如果你看到了和你听到原文基本相同的语句，但是多了一个上述词汇，一定要首先排除，然后你把否定词删去，找其余答案中跟这句话意思相近的，基本就是正确答案了。 不听听力蒙
有些听力实在不好，听了还不如不听的，建议还是不要浪费时间了，多留点时间给后面的题，提高后面题的.准确性是更好的选择。完全不听听力来蒙题的话大部分题只能给你排除一些选项。 听力短对话题同上技巧2、3、4，可以帮助你排除一些选项，增加选对的几率。 阅读题需要首先把整个题目都看一遍，其中肯定不排除有一些关联部分，可以根据关联部分大概分析出短文内容，还会有一些常识性的选项，这些分是一定要拿到的。 怎么提高英语听力 听力训练方法与听力工具。 这些都是辅助作用，绝对不是决定作用，再好的方法，再好的工具自己不多去听，都起不到作用，逆向听写法很多人说很有效，但是也要有一定的毅力才行;听力工具，无非就是复读机了，电脑上也有不少听力软件可以选择，如能飞英语网的能飞软件，这个复读软件是非常值得推荐使用的。 阅读应与听力练习同时，同比重的进行。 很多人为提高听力把所有时间都集中在听力材料的练习上。我肯定的说，这是个错误。我们不是生活在国外，你无论怎样营造，都不能有一个真正的外国的文化氛围在你身边，这一个已经可以说明只注重单一的听力练习是错误的专心听懂一盒磁带比你囫囵吞枣的听了十盒磁带的效
英语听力考试技巧如何蒙对 听力是指启动听觉器官，接收语音信息的一种能力。其能力运用的有效性一般取决于倾听是否专心。此外，听力还是英语考试的一项，考察考生对该语言的听话能力。就比如英语听力，在考场中稍微不注意或者分神或者因为英语设备的原因无法接收英语听力信息的时候，就会错过一个正确的答案。那么，当你遇到了这种情况了怎么办?英语听力考试技巧如何蒙对， 希望这些经验能够给你一些帮助! 英语听力考试技巧如何蒙对 (1)单选：- none no nothing nobody选none，- anthing nothing……选nothing- 非谓语选ed或ing- should would……选should或不填- 冠词选几个选项的交集 时态也先交集原则，然后有过去进行选，没就选一般过去- 动词短语也是交集，还是选不出来就选C (2)完型- 选最常见的词，感情词选文中出现过的- 动词选最短的，其他和单选同- (3)阅读- 三短一长选长- 三长一短选短- 一样长选C-

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Into the Unknown The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope? Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable. For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare.

英语四级考试阅读题蒙题技巧 当你在英语四级阅读中遇到一道难题不知如何解答时，一定不能空着，一定要蒙一个答案。但是你知道吗？蒙题也是需要技巧的。 （1）选项中较符合常识的，易明白的一般不是选项;而似乎不太合理，一时较难理解的往往是正确选项。 （2）阅读中的干扰项的补充问题 （3）答案项中有绝对语气词的一般不是正确答案项。 这些语气词有： must， always， never， the most， all， only， have to， any， no， very completely， none， hardly 等。 （4）选项中含有不十分肯定的语气词一般是正确答案项。 这些语气词有： can， could， may， should， usually， might， most（大多数），more or less， relatively， be likely to， possible， whether or， not necessarily 等。 （5）选项中照抄原文的一般不是答案项，而同义替换的一般是选项 （6）选项中表达意义较具体的、肤浅的（字面意思）一般不是答案项，而概括性的、抽象的、含义深刻的是答案项。 细节题干扰项特点： 1、与原句内容相反; 2、与原文内容一半相同一半不同; 3、与原句内容相似但过于绝对化。 4、原文中根本没提到 主旨大意题干扰项特点： 1、虽覆盖全文意思，但显得太笼统; 2、其内容太窄，不能覆盖全文内容，只是文章内容的一部分，或只是文章内容的一个细枝未节; 3、与文章内容毫不相干，或与文章内容相悖。 逻辑推理题干扰项特点： 1、不是在文章事实或上下文（句）逻辑基础上进行推理而得出了观点。 2、虽然可以以文章提供的事实或内在逻辑为基础进行推理，但推理过头，概括过度。

六级听力辅导 大学英语六级听力技巧 一、六级与四级考试听力部分的不同要求 1999年《大学英语教学大纲（修订本）》规定，基础阶段的教学要求分为基本要求和较高要求两种。 达到四级为基本要求；达到六级为较高要求。 大学英语六级听力技巧 听力的六级要求为 “对题材熟悉、句子结构不太复杂、基本没有生词、语速为每分钟150至170词的篇幅较长的会话、谈话、报道和讲座，能掌握其中心大意，抓住要点和有关细节，领会讲话者的观点和态度，并能进行分析、推理和判断。” 大学英语六级听力技巧 直观上讲，就是六级考试听力部分的录音速度比四级快10-20词/分钟，在考试时间相同的情况下，短文部分每篇就可以多出20-30词。小对话有时也会特别罗嗦，虽然最后考察的信息只有一个，但是对话中可以提供的会多一些。干扰信息的增加同样会增加考试的难度。 大学英语六级听力技巧 二、考生面临六级考试的差距、原因分析，及应对方法 即使在重点大学，本科阶段六级考试的通过率也只有30%上下。而听力测试始终是应试考生的弱项。考生的差距主要表现在：
1）对单词、短语或语句的音感刺激不敏感、不熟悉，反应迟缓。 大学英语六级听力技巧 原因在于很多考生是出于应付考试而不是掌握一门语言的动机去学习英语。除了认识一些单词之外，对作为一们语言的英语是既听不懂也说不出，听英文对话或者段落时是一个词一个词那么去听，熟悉程度远远达不到正常交流的要求，而六级考试的听力部分的语速已经接近于正常语速。 大学英语六级听力技巧 考生需要加强的就是语言能力的应用，多听，多写，多说，在学习语言的过程中更多的着眼于应用而不是应考，在学习材料的选择上侧重于段落文章而不是单纯去背单词或者字典。另外一些学校的图书馆会定期播放一些中文字幕的原版电影，这些材料对英语语言的学习，尤其是听力能力的提高，是相当有帮助的。 近年来六级考试的内容越来越贴近现实，部分题目要求对英美国家的生活习俗有一定了解才可以正确回答,例如: 大学英语六级听力技巧 A) Painting a picture. B) Hosting a program. C) Designing a studio. D) Taking a photograph. 大学英语六级听力技巧 W: Well, tonight we have Professor Brown in the studio to talk about his recent book Fashion Images. Good evening, professor.
大学英语六级CET6听力技巧 大学英语六级CET6考试中，很多同学发现听力部分很难。甚至有很多同学给我写信说自己上个月和这个月错题数目完全相同，对听力已经绝望。其实大可不必。绝望是因为没有清楚分析自己错题的原因，并且没有从错题中汲取经验和知识，结果每逢考试，总是犯同样的错误。那么六级听力部分的难点究竟有哪些呢？ 除去技巧部分，大多数同学的问题基本集中在三点：1. 生词多；2. 速度快；3. 音变频繁。 那么应该如何解决呢？ 1.生词多。背单词是大家最头痛的部分。有很多同学认为自己每天背了很多单词，但最后考试的时候还是出现遗忘现象。究其根源，是因为在背的时候只用了自己的眼睛和手，而没有用嘴和耳朵。 听力部分的特殊性就是将单词通过声音的形式来传达到同学们的耳朵里，从而考察同学们对英语的敏感度。所以如果这个词你没有听过，没有读过，或者读不对，在考试时是不会有反应的；另外一些同学发现背单词书上的单词很枯燥，无法坚持。对于这部分同学，建议大家去背历年真题中的生词。先把所有生词画出来，查找，再做题，也不失为一种动力背词法。而当你把20几套真题的单词都查过以后，你就会发现，你的单词量已经在5000左右了。 2.速度快。速度是另外一个困扰大家的难题。我常常对同学们说：“一个人的朗读速度往往就是一个人的听力理解速度。”而这就是大家为什么不能适应快语速的原因。 要解决这个问题也很简单，就是跟读真题文章，以音频语速来要求自己。平时说话中也要加快自己的语速，形成一种习惯，一种惯性。很多同学说不知道平时说话究竟要快到一个什么程度，我想美国电视剧《老友记》中的速度就是大家要达到的速度。 3.音变频繁。除了速度，音变也是困扰大家的一个难题，其表现就是大家不是一个词两个词听不懂，而是一串听不懂，一片听不懂。这就是因为同学们读句子的方式是一个词一个词地读，中间有停顿，而英美人会习惯性地在有些词中间采用音变读法，如：连读，失去爆破，重读，弱读等等。 要想听懂这样的句子，就必须提高自己的口语发音实力。建议大家使用教材练习和音频模仿同步练习音变。推荐给大家一本音变讲得很好的教材《托福听力的弦外之音》，而音频的模仿大家可以选择模仿真题的音频。这样做有三点好处：1.练习了音变；2.，熟悉了考试词汇；3.熟悉了考试句型。 (一)调整心理状态 心理状态就是一个人的心情。心情的好坏，会直接地影响我们工作、学习的效果。你也能看到，在体育比赛中，由于心理状态的起伏，参赛选手的发挥会跟着有较大的起伏。同样的道理，心理状态的正常与否对参加听力考试的同学来说也至关重要。心理方面的任何失衡都会使你手忙脚乱，得分率降低，平
