全国英语四级考试方法和技巧（实用篇） 一．听力 1．短对话 ①.答案往往在后半人的话语中（带有转折词、原因词、总结性的 ），重点也会引申推出选项答案。 ②.从答案选项中推敲，往往关键词听到与材料一致的， 很可能是陷阱（答案往往是总结、规纳性、替换词、意思一致性） ③.场景考点（每年必考），即听关键词（材料中心词往往对应于相应的 场合）比如，看电影想到影剧院，吃、点菜想到餐馆，时间飞机定票等 想到机场更多得自己不断总结此类关键词。 以后便能条件反射迅速选出答案 总结：听懂抓住重点部分信息，关键中心词必须会把握（语气、转折性 、总结性词等后为主），答案以同义词转换 +意思一致，不改变义反映。切忌无中生有，凭主观来选择。 实在是没听懂或没把握住意思和中心词，看选项来确定（同词不选， 与对话内容无关不选，意思和其他完全不一致排除，带大写性关键词 独一的也不选） 更多在于根据真题总结，以上尽为参考和练习 (充分利用时间提前看题为之重要 ) 2．短文 正题：听到什么与选项对应，意思不变情况下往往是答案 此类型关键就是一个能听及时，准确，把握此特点那听到什么与选项 一致就是答案；另一点误区选项意思与文章无关、无中生有、作者主 观臆断、某一选项与其他选项无关、相差太大往往是误区项；还有一 点题目是按照文章顺序来的，答案也往往顺着题目来的。 总结重点：关键性、重点和中心词必须听到，听之前各选项一定有所 了解，确定中心词并带着它有针对性去听文章。更多在于自己的总结 ，以上仅为参考和供练习。 3 填词 听之前有所了解文章大意， 第一遍听把单一性词填个大概并写点第一句关键意思和单词 ;第二遍完全填满单词并附带着写下第一长句， 确定和大概写出第二、三句长句关键词 ; 第三遍校对单词，并尽量补满长句。 更多在于自己的总结和听写的练习。 二．仔细阅读 1. 做之前花一、二分钟了解大意思（必要） CET4知识点

一个人的PETS5的经验（我一个字一个字打出来的）转贴今天拿到了PETS 5级证书，笔试76（其中听力26），口语5，总的说来还可以接受，下面讲讲我的一些体会，希望对大家有用。我是4月决定报考的，主要是因为参加工作2年，英语都忘得差不多了，想借此给自己一点压力和动力，四月底去到广外考试中心，交了160元，五一后再去拿到了准考证。复习过程我选择上外的大学英语精读这套教材，虽然有人对它指手画脚，实际上作为一套教材，它可以说是非常经典的。由于报5级，所以我直接从第四册开始学习。首先我把单词读一遍，一是掌握单词的发音，国为我有些单调拿不准，二是有些单词的意思和常用意思不一致，所以要先过一遍。词汇是外语的基础。5级的词汇量应该在6000以上，如果阅读过程中生词率高于30%，考试就没法考了。然后我习惯大声读一遍课文，为的是培养费语感，“文章硬如铁，读来满口血”，文章不读一次，就感觉嘴巴都硬了。读完之后，就借且参考书，逐字逐句的啃课文，主要包括词汇的意思和用法，句子的语法和逻辑结构（这是最重要的！），以及一些时代背景，名人名言等等，为什么要强调语法和逻辑结构呢？我们以第五册第一课第一句话为例：it is probably easier for teachers than for students to appreciate the reasons why learning English seems to become increasingly difficult once the basic structures and patterns of the languagee have been understood.一句主占据了3行，而且结构复杂冗长，没有过硬的分析能力，考试时就会手忙脚乱了。所以这一肯虽然很烦也很枯燥，但却是必不可少的。我在复习过程中在这一步耗时最多，基本上一天看一课，课后的练习因为时间关系基本没有做，精力都在阅读上了。3册课本共30篇，去掉几篇小说还剩20多篇，一个月基本能看完。这是复习的第一阶段。第二阶段主要是巩固和提高，每天我固定抽出半个小时读课文，先大声读一遍，培养语感和锻炼发音，读的过程基本不知道课文在说什么，看到的只是一个个单词，见树不见林。第二遍是默读，读完一句话，仔细地分析它的结构，搞清楚每个成分之间的内在联系，既见树又见林。这一阶段还要进入实战练习，市面上关于PETS 的辅导书多如牛毛，可惜质量实在不敢恭维。见过一本王长喜主编的模拟书，里面错误百出，可谓误人子弟。我一直认为，最好的辅导书就是历年真题，可惜PETS5的真题概不流出，所以那些所谓的辅导书就不几太当真了，他们唯一的用处就是让你熟悉考试会有哪些题型，如果真的想做练习，可以拿6级或考研的历年真题来做。考试前一天睡的不好，八点来到考场，结果几乎到九点半才开考。第一部分是听力，又分3 PARTS，PART1是对话，PART2是段子，都是听完后选一个答案，PART3是填空，一段话放3遍，要求填补文中抽去的词或短语。个人觉得难度和6级差不多，有些地方稍微快一些。第二部分是语法填空，一篇文章里面抽掉了若干个词，要逑补充完整（没有选项，不像完形填空！）。这部分一半靠语感，1/3靠语法逻辑，苦命靠上下文语境，为什么要强调语感呢？其实靠逻辑也可以做出来，但需要时间，而考试最缺的就是时间，所以要靠 2013公共英语考试全攻略 考试介绍考试指导一级考试试题考试指导二级考试试题 平时多读，凭借语感当机立断，这部分每空只有0.5分，所以千万不要花太多时间，做不出的就放弃，当然也不要乱选，毕竟0.5分也是分，要做到又快又准。第三部分是大头：阅读，5篇文章，每篇约800词。对阅读的难度一定要有充分的认识；把你能想象的最大难度放大十倍，就差不多了（当然对于牛人这句话不适用）。每篇只能看一遍文章就去做题（做的过程可以回头寻找文中的细节）。我就在这方面犯错误了，有一篇文章看了两遍才做，最后就不够时间了。第四部分是排序，一篇文章抽去了几段，要从选项中把正确的段落补回去。这种题型对大家比较陌生，而且做到这里，脑子也比较混乱或者是转不动了，我也提不出什么好办法，虽然每题有2分。最后是快速阅读，有3篇文章，每篇800词，10道选择题，都是考文章的细节，难度很小，关键是阅读速度要快，以上是第一卷，到时间后监考人员收卷，再发第二卷作文，这次的作文题目是“多设立职业高中还是普通高中？”个

He visited the casino,lost the$20and left.On his second visit he lost$800.The casino issued to him,as a good customer,a"Fun Card", which when used in the casino earns points for meals and drinks,and enables the casino to track the user's gambling activities.For Williams,those activities become what he calls"electronic heroin."

It did know he had a problem. In March1998,a friend of Williams's got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions,and wrote to inform the casino of Williams's gambling problem.The casino included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers,and wrote to him a"cease admissions" letter.

With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 3 both acting and San Francisco. I had 4 too much of city life. As I walked down the 5 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 6 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few homeless people under blankets. About a block from my 7 , I heard a sound behind me. I 8 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 9 ，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 10 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 11 to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 12 for 15 minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to quit the 13 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 14 look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up a wallet. It was already 3 a.m. by the t ime I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 15 of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 1．A．comfortable B．serious C．tiresome D．fortunate 2．A．comfort B．desire C．pain D．trouble 3．A．setting up B．giving up C．holding up D．picking up 4．A．expected B．changed C．controlled D．possessed 5．A．deserted B．crowded C．busy D．wild 6．A．running B．jumping C．moving D．marching 7．A．bank B．theatre C．apartment D．office 8．A．stood B．walked C．turned D．left 9．A．satisfied B．confused C．frightened D．annoyed 10.
