专四听力复习攻略：
1.听写
听写是对听力与速记技能的双重考核。第一遍的听大意，第二、三次的意群听写，再到第四次的校对。最后的2分钟复查时间（单词的单复数、过去时态、has/is 的错用、主谓一致等），不要急于用这2分钟浏览听力考题。第一次听，也可以在草稿上写写关键词，提醒自己文章的整体架构，但注意一旦一句没听懂，不要纠结，给自己机会在第二第三次中揣摩。如果有一句话基本没听清楚，那放弃这句话去检查其它句子。
2. 听力
针对对话与陈述部分：
听力复习分为两部分：一部分是日常生活话题的对话或是陈述；另一部分是VOA和BBC的新闻听力。注意不能给自己无止境的时间来预读题干，而应该控制在5秒左右。考前可以专门进行日常生活话题的听力训练，每天保持40分钟左右的听力，复述出材料的中心含义，并与原文进行对比。这项训练主要是培养对于关键句型的敏感度以及抓重点的能力。在平时训练听新闻时，注意新闻中的几个重要因素，如what, who, where, when, how, and why等，在考试中再结合问题内容，就能很快做出正确选择。
在各部分题目前试题册上都印有一段题目指令，磁带上也录有相应指令，每年考试这部分指令都基本相同，只要熟悉这些内容，就可以节约下录有指令的这段时间，利用其提前阅读试题的问题及干扰项。
有目的的听：听力与语法、阅读不同，可以读完再回读，它的内容是暂时、一次性的，因此学会抓要点、关键词，以意群为单位理解全文。在四级考试的听力部分中，问题都已印在考卷上，先看了问题，心中有数，就知道有针对性的有选择地听原文，听的时候，抓相关信息，滤除不相关的内容，从而减轻听的负担，以提高听的有效性，学会边听边记笔记，不是听写，而是写下关键信息，如关键词、时间等，便于作参考。同时，通过阅读干扰项，多些背景提示，再分析四个选择项的异同，以此作为线索，听的时候，有的放矢。
针对新闻听力部分：
（一）尽量先以自己熟悉的语言了解新闻内容
在进行当天的英文新闻学习前，先从中文的媒体了解当天主要的国际或国内新闻内容，在听英文新闻时，就容易多了。
（二）掌握各类新闻的有限单字
每天新闻会遇到的单字，八成五以上，都是commonly used vocabulary （常用单字）。换言之，只要能掌握五、六百个重复出现的单字，就可以听懂八成五以上的新闻。其它一些较专门的财经或科学等新闻字汇，等主要的单字会了之后，再慢慢增加难度。
（三）遇到听不懂的地方不要去想它，继续听下去
在听英语新闻或英语节目时，遇到一个不会的字或没听清楚的段落，就开始想它的意思，往往造成接下来的内容全都没听清楚。所谓“一心不能二用”，绝不可以在听的同时，边想前一句的意思，遇到不太懂的地方不要停下来思考，专心听下去。因为很多时候，漏掉一点，不会是关键到让你无法连接下面的意思，但是如果思维卡在前一句，肯定全军覆没。
但如果另外那一成确实是关键呢？有空可以上网找相关内容的新闻，了解一下是否有关键单字或内容较不熟悉。
（四）不要太在乎特殊难懂的人名及地名
这些多半时候对了解新闻内容并不影响，只要知道他是某国的国会领导人就够了。再如俄罗斯南部某个难念的小城镇发生什幺事，清楚它他是俄罗斯南部的小城镇，足够了解新闻内容。不要为复杂的名称所困扰。当然，重要的新闻人物及地名还是得熟悉一下。
（五）以正确的播报速度来学习
一定要听以正常的速度播报的新闻，因为这样才能真正的学会新闻英语，如果听不太懂，多听几次，一定大有进展。但是，如果总是用一些速度放慢的教材，那只能永远听教材，真正新闻的速度永远跟不上。
（六）尽快锁定大略的新闻内容
听英语新闻时，主播经常会在报某条新闻前，来句类似And now in sports……（现在进入体育新闻），或Turning to the Middle East ……（转向中东地区……）或In U.S. election race news……（有关美国选举新闻……）等，没有一定格式或说法，这样短短的一句，就是要让不同类型新闻的转变自然些。
当然，不是每条新闻前都会给你这样的提示，要是没有，就得赶快锁定内容及方向，如果看电视新闻的话，可以试着从画面了解是哪一类的新闻；若是广播的话，也应该从第一句就可以判断。
（七）经常听，经常练习
专四新一轮的备考又开始了，广大考生也都抓紧时间复习力争考试中能够取得好成绩。听力是英语学习中的难点，专四听力也是专四考试中的重点。那么专四听力在复习中有什么技巧呢？
1. 首先要克服心理障碍：
由于考场的紧张气氛，听力的瞬间、暂时性，考生在听之前，生怕听不懂，听觉紧张，越怕就越不能专心，或有个别词汇一下子听不出，而苦苦绞尽脑汁的想，而影响对下边的内容的注意力。因此，考生平时要有意识地训练自己的心理素质，参加一些模拟考试，培养对考场的适应能力，扫除恐惧心理，训练自己整体理解而非逐字逐句理解的意识，用上下文进行推
测的能力。从而做到“精神集中而不紧张，注意力专注但不停留”。
2. 听力测试考生获取口头信息的能力，而英语可分成诸如书面语、正式、非正式、口语体等语域，它们在用词、句法等方面都有所不同，因此考生不仅要熟悉英、美不同的语音、语调、单词，而且在学习书面语的同时，注意口头语的表达方式、用词、句型结构、升降调所表示的不同的感情色彩。只有坚持不懈的长期进行泛听，听不同题材、不同内容、不同性别、不同语音语调，甚至于同一单词的不同读音，才能稳步提高听力技能。
3. 在各部分题目前试题册上都印有一段题目指令，磁带上也录有相应指令，由于每年考试这部分指令都基本相同，考生只要熟悉这些内容，就可以节约下录有指令的这段时间，利用其提前阅读试题的问题及干扰项。
4. 有目的地听：听力与语法、阅读不同，可以读完再回读，她的内容是暂时、一次性的，因此学会抓要点、关键词，以意群为单位理解全文，就变的相当重要。在四级考试的听力部分中，问题都已印在考卷上，考生先看了问题，心中有数，就知道有针对性的有选择地听原文，听的时候，抓相关信息，滤除不相关的内容，从而减轻听的负担，以提高听的有效性，同时，通过阅读干扰项，多些背景提示，再分析四个选择项的异同，以此作为线索，听的时候，有的放矢。
5. 培养用英语思维的习惯：由于受母语的干扰，中国学生在听的过程中习惯于在大脑中先把英语翻译成母语进行理解，然后再翻译成英语回答，而听的内容常常一瞬即逝，因此在平时学习中，考生要用英英字典，用英语的概念去解释诠释，从而避免把英语翻译成母语，再翻译成英语的习惯。这样，可大大减少听的过程中解码所需的时间，也就不会出现猴子摘苞米的故事了。
6.语言的另一重要作用是其交际功能，能够理解中心思想，演讲者的意图，或细节，能体会语言的交际功能意义，善于把语言与语境联系起来进行体会字面表层所传递的深层意义，如请求、命令、建议等，而熟悉句子的句型，有助于提高对讲演者意图的判别能力，理解句子的语言外涵义。
7. 学会边听边记笔记，不是听写，而是写下关键信息，如关键词、时间等，便于作参考。
8. 陈述与对话都选自日常生活对话，所以考生在加强听力的同时，多用英语交流，“听说不分”，创造运用英语的语境。单句陈述比较难，在于没有上下文，或重复，所以对于词汇、词语搭配、句型结构的捻熟非常重要。在双人对话中，不仅理解谈话内容，而且善于通过谈话内容，判别诸如：两者的身份，谈话的时间、场合，话题，弦外之音等。
9. 在平时训练听新闻时，注意新闻中的几个重要因素，如what, who, where, when, how, and why等，在考试中再结合问题内容，就能很快做出正确选择。
新闻中，许多人名、地名、组织机构等出现的频率较多，而对这些不熟悉，有可能降低反应速度，所以，考生平时多读些如China Daily, New York Times, 《参考消息》之类的报刊杂志，并适当的做些记录，尤其是常出现的国际人物、国名、地名、事件等，从而多些储存信息，有利于考试中快速听懂内容。
中国学生由于受传统教学法的影响，过去学习英语很重视语言的结构，语法，而忽视听、说等交际能力的培养，听、说、读、写、译语言技能没有协调发展。现在通过四级考试，考生可以对自己的各项能力进行检验，促使考生重视各项语言技能的综合训练。

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. ( 3 ) Why don't you take a year's higher mathematics and register in economics 102 the next fall? W:That sounds a good idea. I.

PART Ⅰ DICTATION 1. Listen to the following passage. Altogether the passage will be read to you four times. During the first reading, which will be done at normal speed, listen and try to understand the meaning. For the second and third readings, the passage will be read sentence by sentence, or phrase by phrase, with intervals of 15 seconds. The last reading will be done at normal speed again and during this time you should check your work. You will then be given 2 minutes to check through your work once more. 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.
