英语四六级考试复合式听写部分点睛

大学英语四级考试听力复习四大技巧(一)调整心理状态考试中的心理偏差有两种，一是过于放松，难以集中注意力，总是想起别的东西，无法抓住听力内容的关键词；二是过于紧张，心跳加快，手心出汗，有头晕的感觉。

出现前一种情况的同学要加强训练，找一个与考试环境相似的教室，模仿真实的考试场景，逐渐进入状态；出现后一种情况的同学可能是对自己的能力估计不足，心中无数，有一种惧怕心理。

这就要从自身做起，平时加强听力训练，做到有的放矢，弥补弱项。

从而充满自信，保持心理稳定。

在考前，把指令背熟，然后在放指令的录音时，阅读选择项，并进行有关的预测，这时，紧张的心理自然消除了。

另外，要做到顺其自然，我们的意思是不要怕漏听一些非关键部分，像介词、连词、冠词等，总之不要去想一个没听到或一个不熟悉的单词，否则，会漏听更多内容。

关于心理准备。

在开首，我们提出同学们在练习听力以及正式的考试中都必须遵循的一条，就是放松心情，但要使听觉系统紧张起来。

只有放松心情，才能正常(甚至超水平)发挥听力。

听的过程中，一定要集中注意力，不要胡思乱想。

同学们在平时训练中，就要注意加强大脑与听觉系统之间的协调与沟通。

我们在以后的每一个测试开首，都会讲解实用技巧，(二)注意辨别近音同音、近音词句一样，在英语语言中也有许多单词读音很接近。

它们在被读出时，很容易对考生造成干扰，使你产生多余的联想。

另外，在对所提问题设定的选项中，通常会出现与听力材料中读音接近的单词，作为对原句中音或义的干扰。

比如：原文：W：I’ve got to buy a new car.M: Really?Q: What does the woman mean?选项：A) She purchased a car recently.B) She knew the car was in the lot. C) She always forgets to clean her car.D) She really needs a new car可以看出，B)项中的knew是对原文中new的近音干扰，C)项中的forget是对have got to的近音干扰。

大学英语四级考试分题型讲解及技巧点拨大学英语四级考试分题型讲解及技巧点拨[四六级]新大学英语四级分题型讲解及技巧点拨备受关注的大学英语改革后的四级考试新题型样卷终于在xx年10月份揭开神秘的面纱，这套由全国大学英语四、六级考试改革工程组和全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会编写的《大学英语四级考试(CET-4)试点考试样卷》已上海外语教育出版社出版发行，并收录了《全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案（试行）》和最新大学英语四级考试（CET-4）试点考试样题。

另外，根据教育部高教司[xx]199号的通知，“为了使高校教师和学生更充分熟悉和了解新的考试要求和题型，积极稳步推进改革，对原定的试点考试时间等事宜做相应调整，原定于xx年12月进展的大学英语四级试点考试调整至xx年6月进展。

xx年12月仍按原方案全面实施新题型四级考试，时间不变”。

也就是说xx年6月的四级考试， 180所试点院校的局部学生将参加新题型试卷的考查，到了xx年12月份，不管是试点高校还是非试点高校，四级新题型将全面推广。

对于即将参加新题型考试的高校学子该如何准备新四级考试，才能取得高分？笔者经过仔细分析新题型样卷后，从实力和技巧两个方面提出复习备考策略。

听力的分值比例将由原来的20%提升到35%：短对话局部由原来的10题减至8题，共8分；增加了两篇长对话，出题模式类似于现行托福考试中听力Part B，每篇3至4题，共7题，分值比例7％，；段子题（passage）仍为3篇，共10题，每篇3到4题，分值比例10％；复合式听写中词汇听写由原来的.7个增加至8个，每空0.5分,听写仍保持3句不变，每句2分，复合式听写局部总共10分。

1、语音：*了解英美音的差异；例schedule，neither等*掌握根本的辨音根底，听到熟悉的音能在上下文中迅速确定对应的单词，提高听力的敏感性。

例：present，pleasant。

*注意连读问题，重点掌握固定词组之间的连读，根据连读规那么，尝试由慢到快脱口而出，提高对连读的听觉认知能力。

英语四级听力技巧：复合式听写第一步题型预览题型介绍新题型的复合式听写是在一篇短文中有10个空格，考察单词和短语。

六级复合式听写的词汇中虽然也是以实词居多，但并不排除介词，副词，所以在做六级复合式听写中一定要注意词类的考察。

短文念三遍，都是常速朗读，没有停顿。

这种题型不仅测试学生的听力理解能力，还考核学生的拼写能力。

评分标准每个单词或短语1分。

第二步应试策略与前面的听力选择题相比，复合式听写更强调语言的综合运用能力。

复合式听写的难度在于不仅要在卷面提供的选项中做出判断和抉择，考生还必须边听边以书面形式填写出单词和短语，上述的每一个环节都决定考生能否写出正确的答案。

但是，复合式听写也有其独特之处，考生不需要通过浏览选项和推测问题来预测谈话内容或是其主旨大意，卷面提供给考生的信息是比较多的，考生可以通过开头和结尾来归纳出文章的主旨并把握文章的脉络，另外，复合式听写全文的录音会播放三遍，按照做题提示：第一遍考生可理解并获取大意，第二遍考生应尽量记下要求填入的单词和短语。

单词的听写相对比较容易，但是很多考生在这一遍无法完整地按照要求填写出短语。

还好接下来录音要播放第三遍。

第三遍也是常速，供考生检查核对所填入的信息，进一步修改和完善自己的答案。

考生应抓住时机弥补前两遍听音时所忽略和遗漏的内容，尤其是将短语补充完整。

下面就按照听前、听中和听后来谈谈复合式听写的应试策略。

在听力播放前，考生要做好充分的准备工作。

听写题部分开头有一段较长的Direction，大约需要一分钟多一点的时间才能读完。

在这段时间内，考生要快速浏览文章尤其是借助段落的主题句归纳文章大意和发展线索，根据卷面的已知信息来推测未知信息。

借助每个段落的首句和尾句来把握每个段落的中心思想，集中起来形成文章的主题大意。

通过空格前后的上下文内容来推断听写单词的意思，通过句子结构的分析从语法角度判断听写单词的词性，如是名词要推断其实可数名词还是不可数名词;如是动词，要推断动词的时态和语态。

英语四级考试听力考试答题步骤英语四级考试听力考试答题步骤第一步：预判（3-5分钟）做题前，一定留出时间看题。

正式考试时看题时间约3分钟左右。

我们只能高效的看而非全面的看。

选项中最需要注意的是：高频词，主语，谓语等。

同时注意，相似选项和相反选项要保留，准确答案就在其间。

复合式听写部分也需要注意高频词汇。

例（小对话）：A) She’ll have some chocolate cake.B) She’ll take a look at the menu.C) She’ll go without dessert.D) She’ll prepare the dinner.很明显，圈出所有的“she”，暗示自己稍后听女士的话即可，而男士的话并非重点。

例（长对话）A) marketing consultancy.B) Professional accountancy.C) luxury hotel management.D) business conference organization选项都是某种行业，又因为此题是08年6月听力长对话中的第一题，所以就暗示自己注意长对话开始部分的行业词汇即可。

第二步：听力开始（35分钟）2006年6月年后的四级听力放音时间约35分钟左右。

请不间断地听完一套题，中间不要停顿，强化自己的耐力注意力和定力。

第三步：查阅环节（时间因人而异）1、对答案。

确定准确答案在原文中的位置。

同时确定错误答案为什么错。

2、查词和短语。

将选项和原文中所有不熟悉的单词和短语全部查阅清楚，不留死角。

3、翻译句子。

查阅词语结束后，可以用视译的方式看句子是否可以通顺的翻译明白。

若发现人有句子无法理解，那就是单词和短语的含义并未查阅正确。

例：2006年6月四级听力长对话原文，是一个面试：What benefit package do you offer?误译：你提供什么利益包裹？正译：你们有什么样的福利计划？无独有偶：2007年12月的面试长对话中，又出现了一次benefit There is a list of extra benefits. （有一个福利清单。

四、六级听⼒理解放在考试第⼀部分(9：15—9：35)，共有四种题型，⼩对话、段落理解、听写填空和复合式听写。

考试出题原则是每次从四种题型中任选两种，每种题型10分，共20分。

1．⼩对话(Short　Conversations) 历次考试把⼩对话放在听⼒的第⼀部分，共10段，其出题形式可以归纳为以下六类：*　意义解释题：对词汇、词组、惯⽤语、⾔外之意的解释，98年以来每套题中多达6题以上。

复习中每级应重点掌握听⼒⼝语常⽤词组⾄少120个，还要熟练掌握虚拟、倒装、否定被动及暗⽰语的表达。

*　细节列举题：⽇期、号码、兴趣爱好、⼈名、地点等的罗列。

听题进要注意盯准选项，在⼈物所寻找的房间号、所在地点、尤为喜爱的运动⽅式或电影类型旁及时做标记并排除掉⼲扰项。

*　计算题：对时间、价格的加减乘除甚⾄复合运算。

听题时要果断记下数字、时间，搞清关系。

如⽕车10点出发，还有20分钟，要准确迅速地做减法得出9：40为现在时间。

*　相关词推理题：根据语境相关词来推理对话发⽣地点、⼈物职业⾝份、⼈物关系等。

复习中要总结在图书馆、饭馆、医院、旅馆、邮局、学校、银⾏、机场、长话局、法庭以及公司办公室的常⽤词汇。

*　因果关系题：已知结果问原因。

要特点熟悉因果关系词在句⼦中的作⽤，如because,　since,　cause,　lead　to,　due　to,　that’s　why,　as　a　result等等。

判断原因争取⼀步到位。

*　⽐较关系题：把两个事物的某⼀特点进⾏⽐较，选项中就会直接出现as…　as,　more…than,　the　same等表达句式。

对话中右有A　is　better　than　B.　⽴即在选项中找B　is　not　as　good　as　A。

如果A　is　bigger　than　B　and　C is　smaller　than　B，则记下A>B>C。

2、段落理解(Passages) 段落理解每次出现三个段落，共10个问题，10分。

双管齐下搞定英语四级复合式听写篇复合式听写（Compound Dictation）比听力选择题更强调语言综合运用能力，考生不仅要具有良好的听的能力，还应具有较强的拼写能力，记笔记能力和书面表达能力，以下是复合式听写的应试方法：1．通过卷面文字捕捉信息，找出线索、了解大意“复合式听写”材料多为说明文（Exposition），这一体裁的文章具有主题突出，条理分明，层次清楚、语言简洁、逻辑性强的特点。

文章的开头或段首多半有主题句（topic sentence），之后的段、句进一步具体扩展、说明或论证主题句。

根据“复合式听写”样题，听写第二部分二、三自然段首和段尾均有完整的主题句。

考生应利用一切机会，如考前空隙或播放考试指令时间，浏览试卷该项下文字部分，尤其是主题句，根据主题句预测文章发展线索和大意，这样便增强了考生对文章的认知度和熟悉感。

缩小了内容范围，考生听音时更具针对性和准确性，心理放松，更为自信，使自己在考试中处于主动地位。

即使“复合式听写”材料为其它体裁的文章，听音前浏览下试题也大有裨益。

因为文章具有一致性和连贯性的特点，从试题中我们总会搜索到一些有参考价值的材料。

2、听写结合，双管齐下根据“复合式听写”新题型通知说明，第一遍是全文朗读，要求考生注意听懂全文内容。

由于听音前考生已测览了卷面文字，对听力材料有了大致的了解，因此听读第一遍时，考生应适当地填写些单词和做些笔记，听为主，记为辅。

要做好“复合式听写”，考生需多多实践，获取较强的边听边记能力。

听音贯穿着期待、预知、分析、综合、推理和判断等一系列过程，考生应同时快速记下几个关键词，而在记笔记时，又要能有效、专注地去听，获取信息理解全文。

第一遍记下关键词有助于第二遍听写时启发记忆，提示要点，同时也减轻了第二遍笔记的任务，使笔记更加充实、完整、全面、准确。

只要多加练习，其实也不难做到。

3．提高记笔记的效率一般考生听完两遍基本可听懂句意；但只凭记忆写要点，往往容易有疏漏和错误。

考公共英语四级的经验大学英语四级考试，即CET-4，College English Test Band 4的缩写，是由国家教育部高等教育司主持的全国性英语考试。

考试的主要对象是根据教育大纲修完大学英语四级的在校专科生、本科生或研究生。

下面由我来给大家分享考公共英语四级的经验，欢送大家参阅。

考公共英语四级的经验一、听力攻略短文听力五大常考主题1、社会生活类题型出现的次数最多，内容涉及社会新闻、环境保护、生活方式、劳动就业等方面。

有时会以新闻播报的方式出现，兼考查天气情况。

2、人物故事类包括生活经历、奇人怪事、励志故事、名人轶事等。

考生要注意这类题的第一句和最后一句。

3、科学技术类题材主要考查细节题、主旨题，考生做题时应记下高频词。

4、文化教育类题型包括校园生活、语言文化、民俗习惯、娱乐旅行等。

考查细节题居多，有时也会问原因，故听音时要多加注意表示举例、转折、因果的逻辑关系。

5、医疗保健类重点在具体的医疗研究上，听音时考生要注意首尾、转折、因果等处。

复合式听写：关键词“预测〞技巧技巧一：根据空白处的语法形式预测答案在复合式听写中，填单词采用的是完形填空的形式，每个空格都处于特定的上下文之中。

因此，考生可以根据空格在句中的位置判断所填单词的词性。

由历年真题来看，六级听写的单词局部名词和动词占所需填写单词中的5-6个，副词和形容词一般在1-3个，短语占到2-3个。

技巧二：根据并列连词或并列关系预测答案在预读听写短文时，考生常常会看到but，and，as well as这类并列连词。

这些标志性的连词可以暗示所填词的词性及意思。

技巧三：根据固定搭配预测答案英语的表达中有许多固定搭配，出题人有时会在固定搭配的短语上挖空，考生平时要多积累常用的固定表达，以不变应万变。

二、阅读攻略长篇阅读做题技巧：1. 快速阅读文章标题、首尾两段，了解主题;2. 通读10道题目，划出关键词;3. 带着关键词浏览文章，寻找与所划关键词一致或同义的词句。

Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.11.W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?12.W: I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night. Did you get home in time to see it? W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.Q: What does the man mean?13.W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?14.W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it.Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?15. W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.Q: What do we learn about the man?16. M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy.W: I know what you mean. But check out the cost of renting an apartment first. I won’t be surprised if you change your mind.Q: What does the woman imply?17. M: You’re on the right track. I just think you need to narrow the topic down.W: Yeah, you’re right. I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doi ng a research paper.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it?M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time.What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?Long ConversationConversation OneM: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.W: The seasons?M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short?W: So what is it like?M: Well, it is cold ,very cold in winter. Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm. But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness?M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing. But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets. It’s still light in the midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, th at’s right, but it’s wonderful. You won’t stay up all night. And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They’d like to w ork hard, but play hard, too.I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.Q19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?Q20: What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?Q21: How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden?Q21: What does the man say about the Swedish people?Conversation TwoW: What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?M: That’s a very good question. I don’t th ink there is any, specifically.W: For example, in your case, what was your educational background?M: Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham. After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people. Here is in the university. Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side. Then progressed on to universities. So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts o f things.W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.M: Quite.W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?M: No, no, I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire. Nottingham was one of theuniversities I put on my list. And I like the look of it. The campus is just beautiful.W: Yes, indeed. Let’s see. Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire?M: Yes, from the Woolen District.Q23. What was the man’s major at university?Q24: What was the man’s job in secondary schools?Q25: What attracted the man to Nottingham University?Section BPassage OneWhile Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed. Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form or they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes closed their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words. Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of minority group in North America. Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some examples. In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air. In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact. In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.Questions:26, What did Obcamp’s speech focus on?27, Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech?28, What does the speaker try to explain?Passage TwoChris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company. He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year. First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company. Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees the Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them. Chris knows that a new job for apurchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year. Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work, a nd he expects that his work will be compared with hers.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company?30. What problem did Chris encounter in his Division?31. What does Chris hope for in the near future?32. What do we learn about Kim from the passage?Passage ThreeProverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom. They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture. Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong. Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act. Understanding your own culture values is important too. If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier. Many proverbs are very old. So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were. For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them. But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today. Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before. A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures. In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently.Questions 33- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. Why are proverbs so important?34. According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time?35 What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world?Section CCompound Dictation复合式听写原文：Our lives are woven together. As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less or my life completely on my own. Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I’m eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built,wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house. Evidence of interdependence is everywhere. We are on this journey together. As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything. Make your own way, stand on your own two feet, or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face to face with consequences of some action, ‘now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it’. Total independence is a dominant theme in our culture. I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibility for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural images. And instead I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent, and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.I would do almost anything not to be a burden and not require any help from anybody。
