英语四级听力——长对话篇
两个长对话是大学英语四级考试新增设的听力题型，这部分的两个Long Conversations长度在6~20句话之间，词数为120~250左右。每个长对话一般有3~4个提问，对对话内容进行深入探讨。长对话与短对话相比，除了篇幅拉长以外，在语言点、事件过程、人物态度、情感变化各方面都更加复杂，不能简单依靠某些显而易见的内容直接得出答案。长对话涉及的是“面”，需要根据整个对话过程的中心话题，来判断问题所要求的细节、大意或延伸要求。在长对话听力题的考查过程中，把握对话的中心话题最为关键。
长、短对话的相似之处在于，对话都是在一定的场合中发生的，准确判断对话双方的身份、对话发生的缘由、对话过程所处的场景(situation)对理解中心内容都有一定的帮助。清晰的背景容易使考生尽快熟悉对话内容，把握对话脉络，使对话情节的发展更加顺理成章。
【应试策略】
一、重视选项，预测内容
听力理解的问题不是以书面的形式出现在试卷上，而是在听力内容结束后才呈现。因此必须学会抓住空隙时间，抢先阅读题目和选项，根据选项提供的信息，预测谈话内容，并且可以根据选项的答句估计提问的形式。选项中重复次数较多的单词或词组很可能就是对话中的关键词。
具体方法有：
1.采取快速阅读法，避免逐词阅读；
2.较短的选项，采取扫视阅读法，大体了解其内容；
3.较长的选项，先浏览各条选项，再竖读发现共同成分；
4.比较选项中细微的区别。
二、概括大意，把握主旨
主旨大意题要求考生对听到的内容进行整体的把握和全面的领会。任何一段对话都是围绕某个中心展开的，有时候主旨大意比较明显，有时候则需要归纳。因此，听对话的时候，一定要将对话听完整。要理解整体内容，对于场景的把握比较重要，应该尽早根据书面细节或对话细节确定对话发生的背景。
这一类题型常见的提问方式有：
What are the two speakers talking about?
What are the two speakers doing?
What is the dialogue about?
三、明确关系，寻找细节
细节题相对来说比较难，不能靠推测或主观估计来答题。考生们在解答细节题的时候一定要听清、听懂事实信息，精确理解具体细节、特殊信息。尤其应该对对话中涉及到的时间、地点、价钱、数字作出比较敏感的反应，对所听到的直接信息快速反应，进行处理；把握逻辑细节，判断事件发生的原因、目的、结果等。
对信息做简单的处理，可能涉及到的方面有：
?数字运算
?时间列序
?比较筛选
?同义转换
?因果关系
深层推理理解具体信息有助于把握话题内容，领会说话者意图。
四、应用常识，分析问题
考生在听力开始之前，有一个浏览试卷选项的过程。每一段长对话要求回答的几个
问题之间有可能存在一定的逻辑关系，应注意这一情况，仔细分析。并根据基本常识和
背景知识等，进行积极地预测。
【小技巧】
1.总结长对话各题答案，我们可以发现，每条答案均伴随一个问题，也就是说对
话中的问答是考点，考试的重点往往落在答语上。
2.虽然考点是对长对话中的各组问答进行提问，但是各题涉及到的几组问答之间
没有明显的连接关系，相互关联性不强。也就是说做这一部分的听力理解题目的时候能
够解答一题，放弃一部分信息，而集中注意力在之后的内容上。这与passage的考察方
式相近，每一方面的内容只出一道题。
3. 出题顺序与对话顺序基本保持一致。
长对话涉及了基本问答、建议请求、特殊场景判别等方面的考查，同时考查对长段对话的话题、主旨的把握，将短对话的问答句式与文章层次理解相结合，提高了考查的要求。做长对话听力理解题既要注意细节内容，又要把握整体结构，因此，在平时的练习中，可以将短对话和长对话分开来进行练习，尤其对长对话题目进行针对性的综合练习。

W: In the paper, it says there’s a man going round pretending he’s from the electricity board. He’s been calling at people’s homes, saying he’s come to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know Jane, it’s partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them. W: It’s all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you automatically think they are ok, especially if they flash a card to you. M: Does this man have an I. D. then? W: Yes, that’s just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It’s a bit sad. One old lady told them she’d just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description. W: Oh, yes, they have. Let’s see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually. Q19.

W: Yes certainly. I was a marketing consultant, responsible for marketing ten UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector, all of a very high standard. M: Which markets were you responsible for? W: For Europe and Japan. M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?
听力学习：英语四级听力的常见问题盘点 英语四级听力弱原因一：能听懂的词汇太少 相对应快速提升“战术”：反复、大声跟读听力材料 相信很多同学单词背了很多，做阅读理解的时候，也能看懂，就 是一到听力却发现自己听不懂。这种情况一是因为很多考生在记单词 的时候就是背英文单词，然后背对应的汉语意思，从来不注意发音； 二是因为没有注意去积累听力词汇，总结听力过程中自己不会的错误点。针对以上两种情况，建议考生： 1) 任何背过的单词、做过的阅读理解，都要大声朗读过！ 2) 听过的听力材料，杜绝“仅仅听1遍就过了”的浪费，一定 要看着原文，至少大声跟读过1次。 理由很简单，你的耳朵、你的大脑、你的听觉神经，需要你自己 的声音去刺激，去唤醒！英语四级听力弱原因二：听力时间一长，就开始走神 相对应快速提升“战术”：泛听保证10分钟以上，精听逐渐增 大力度到30分钟以上 短对话现在难不倒大家了吧？仍然觉得短对话难的同学，一句话 送给你：对自己凶悍一点！你练听力的时间太少了！想要快速提升， 看完赶紧练起来！奥运冠军要想夺冠，还须天天练呢！ 难倒考生的主要是短文听力和复合式听写，已经连续听了很长时间，开始有点疲劳，再加上每篇听力材料长度还不短，精力就开始难 以集中。 建议考生：
1) 每周至少2-3次泛听练习，听力材料能够是任何自己感兴趣 的内容，且第一遍听至少10分钟以上，不按暂停键，不看原文，不纠 结是否听懂，就纯“磨耳朵”。 2) 考前的一段时间，每次坐下来练，只练习短文听力和复合式 听写！一开始，每天坚持听1篇，大概10分钟左右：一篇短文约3分钟，要听2-3遍： 第1遍，做题、看答案； 第2遍，边听边琢磨答案来自听力文章哪儿，不要看原文； 第3遍，看着听力原文，听1遍。 慢慢地，以周为单位，第2-3周增加为20分钟左右集中时间训练！最后，加为每次30分钟以上！英语四级听力弱原因三：来不及 预读，非要等到问题出来才能做选择 相对应快速提升“战术”：多多练习预读并划关键词，适当掌握、使用听力常识 所有听力考试做题的步骤、节奏均为：预读——猜——听——答。 预读怎么练？预读只能在边听direction的时候，边实行阅读。 所以练习阅读一定要在有干扰的情况下，练习定力！要假装听不见， 读得进去！另外，预读的过程中，跟阅读完全一样，要拒绝用笔或手 去点，拒绝口头默念，拒绝头去晃着移动，而是用目光扫！扫一眼， 划出几个单词，作为该选项的特征。

四级听力长对话的3个答题技巧 一、做好笔记，抓住细节 细节题关注对细节的把握和描述， 即要求考生在听完对话后回答以 what，when，where，how等提出 的问题。它通常没有固定的提问方 式，问题可以涉及到对话的方方面 面，如人物的特征、事情的过程或 先后顺序、做事的喜好等。细节题 本身并不难，但因为长对话涉及的 信息通常较多，考生在听时应在选 项旁边适时做好笔记，以应对这种 常考题型。 A.Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 9:45. B.From September 1 to New Year’s eve. C.Every Monday, lasting for 12 weeks. D.Three hours a week, 45 hours in total.
M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it’s not on Thursday. W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven. M: Just once a week? W: Yes. But that’s almost three hours from seven to nine forty-five. M: Oh. Well, that’s alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last? W: Mmmm, let me see. Twelve weeks. You start the first week i n September, and finish, oh, just before Christmas. December 21st. Q: What do we learn about the schedule of the evening course? 二、简短回答不简单 在对话中，有时对于第一个说话人 的提问或者声明，第二个说话人的 回答会包含“简短回答+详细解说” 两部分。其中，简短回答部分是日
2018年6月 News report 1 来自50年前的漂流瓶 A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles away. And it has been returned to his daughter. A long-last message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half-buried in the sand that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time. The note inside the bottle said, ‘Return to 419 Ocean Street, and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of a beachcomber motel.’ The motel was owned by the parents of Paula Piece in 1960. Her father had written the note as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver the message to Paul a Piece. She held up to her father’s promise, giving Buffington that reward. But the biggest reward is the message in the bottle finding its way back home. Question 1. What is the news report mainly about？ Question 2. Why did Paula Piece give Clint Buffington the reward News report 2 数百万蜜蜂在南卡罗来纳州死亡 Millions of bees have died in South Carolina during aerial insect spraying operations that were carried out to combat the Zika virus. The insect spraying over the weekends left more than 2 million bees dead on the spot in Dorchester County, South Carolina, where 4 travel-related cases of Zika disease have been confirmed in the area. Most of the deaths came from the Flowertown Bee Farm, a company in Summerville that sells bees and honey products. Juanita Stanley who owns the company said the farm looks like it’s been destroyed. The farm lost about million bees. Dorchester County officials apologized for the accidental mass killing of bees.
下面是为各位考生整理的英语四级听力技巧解析，供大家参考。希望给各位考生带来帮助。 对于四级听力长对话，考生应始终牢记：不要奢望将其内容一字不落地完全听懂并且记住。因为即使在日常生活中用母语对话，这也几乎是不可能的，同时也是不必要的。在日常生活中，我们只要掌握自己关心的信息，而在听力考试中，我们则要抓住关键的命题点。 以下分听前预测和听时抓“点”两个步骤详解听力长对话的应试策略。 一、听前预测 听前预测对于听力长对话非常重要。放音间隔的时间应尽可能留作预测之用。若想有效使用这短短几十秒的放音间隔时间，需把握以下两个原则： 1. 先纵后横 所谓“先纵”，就是首先通读每篇后的3-4个小题，找出关键词，前后联系，预测全篇大致主题。 所谓“后横”，就是在仍有时间的情况下，通看各题选项，看看是否存在生词，总结长句的核心意思，以此预测考点和可能的答案。 两步预测都要注意随时做出标注，划出关键词或简写长句的大意，因为单凭记忆在"高压"的听力考试中是万万靠不住的。 以2007年12月Conversation Two为例： 23. A) She is thirsty for promotion. B) She wants a much higher salary. C) She is tired of her present work. D) She wants to save travel expenses. 首先通过promotion, salary和work可得出本对话的大致主题是有关职业，再联系两次出现的wants,想到或许与求职有关，并顺理成章地想到可能会谈到离职的原因、新职位的性质以及薪酬等等。这就是上面所说的"先纵"。 此后我们可对选项中较长的词语做标注，如下划线所示。通过听录音我们发现本题答案的对应信息在原文中是"I'm fed up with my job.", 正是"tired of"的同义置换。这就是上面所说的"后横"。 可见，事先标注关键信息，可让我们在听时将注意力集中到更小的"点",起到事半功倍的效果。 2. 分清主次 与生活中的情形相似，双方对话的时候常有主次之分，如：一方询问，另一方作答时，关键信息多出现在作答一方，考点自然也就多出于此。分清对话双方的主次对于我们预测考点出现的位置很重要，方法也简单易行。

英语四六级听力长对话应试技巧 ?长对话共两篇每篇3０0词左右共7道题 ?长对话侧重于对话内容理解得整体性。 长对话得篇幅较长,想要听过之后就能将主要得内容都清楚地记在脑子里,几乎就是不可能得。考生只有听一遍得机会,只能边听、边记、边答。 边听边记就是听力中一项非常重要得技能，但就是做笔记并不就是要把听到得每一个单词都记下来,笔记无非就是帮助记忆得手段,只要能把重要得信息用可识别得符号记录下来,就算达到了目得。因此为了提高听与记得效率,应注意把握一定得技巧与原则。 英语四六级听力长对话6大边听边记技能 一、抓住首尾句 主题句常常就是在对话得开头,它对整个对话得内容起一个概括与提示得作用,实际上就是说话人所谈论得中心话题。长对话中得第一题很可能就是针对对话得开头提问,考查考生对整个对话得主题或所谈话题得把握。 结尾处往往涉及到建议、决定或某种行为等，它对整个对话起到一个总结得作用。长对话得最后一题经常就是针对对话得结尾设题,故留意其中得关键动词就成了解题得关键。 二、留意对话中得一问一答 长对话中，对话双方往往出现多个一问一答,而这一恰恰就是长对话得一个出题重点,对话后面问题往往就就是对话原文中问题得照搬或就是同义转述，因此其答案就就是对话中紧接问题之后得答语,而且一般不会有同音或近音词得干扰,因此对于这类题目答案得基本原则就就是＂听到什么选什么"。 三、留意重复率较高得词或短语 对话得主要内容理所当然会得到说话人得强调,而一个非常重要,也就是非常明显得强调方式就就是重复,而且重复得词语往往能够揭示对话得主题。因此对那些对话双方多次提到得词语或内容应进行重点记忆。 四、留意选项中得要点内容 正确选项往往与原文相似,或就是原文得同义表达,因此应注意提取选项中得关键点,在听音时留意其就是否在文中出现并加以记录。 五、留意数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等相关信息
长对话 一、题材类型 听力长对话共有两篇，共七题。长对话的题材一般都和学校生活有关： １）课程内容：以上课为背景，介绍某个知识。 ２）打工内容：常涉及到工作的内容、与学习课程之间的冲突。 ３）度假旅游经历。 ４）学校生活：谈论某个教师的课堂、某个讲座。 ５）住宿生活：与室友的相处或与房东的矛盾。 ６）某项娱乐活动。 二、考查类型 根据对历年四级考试听力部分的研究发现，长对话对考生能力的考查不外乎包含以下三大块：把握对话主旨大意、分析对话事实细节、具体信息推理判断。 1.把握对话主旨大意 主旨大意题主要考查考生对对话全局的掌握，以及判断主要信息和次要信息的能力，一般要求考生从四个选项中挑出最适合作中心思想的选项，考生要在理解整篇对话内容的基础上选择答案。主旨大意题常见的提问方式有： What is the conversation mainly talk about? What is the main topic of the conversation? What are the two speakers talking about? EXAMPLE A)The man has sent the order to the woman by mistake. B)Some of the telephone systems don’t work properly. C)Some of the packs do not contain any manuals. D)The quality of the goods is not up to the standard. 由order，mistake，system，don’t work，packs，quality，goods可以推测出对话内容与产品的买卖有关，再根据各选项语义判断，本题可能考查产品买卖中出现的问题，听音时应注意与此相关的信息。 W: What can I do for you? M: Well, unfortunately, there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday. It seems we’ve not received the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system. W: Oh, dear, that’s bad news. I’m very sorry to hear that, and you don’t know how many packs are without manuals? M: No, because we haven’t opened every pack. But in several of those that have been opened there are none, no manuals. 23. What problem are the speakers discussing? C)。问题中的关键信息词是problems和speakers discussing。对话中男士提到，有些电话设备的包装里面没有使用手册，接下来的对话也是围绕着如何解决这个问题展开的。 2.分析对话事实细节 事实细节题主要是针对对话中的细节信息进行考查，包括人物、地点、时间、数字、原因、目的、手段、建议、态度、观点、行动、计划等。这种题主要考查考生对对话细节的把握，对考生的短时记忆提出
Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 8. A.The job is boring, but the pay is good. B.It's not a busy, but a hard job. C.She likes the job but still wants a change.
