专业四级考试的“复合式听写” 1.通过卷血文字捕捉信息，找岀线索、了解大意“复合式听写”材料多为说明文(Exposition),这一体裁的文章具不主题突出，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), Z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旬o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,尤其是主题旬,根据主题句预测文章发展线索和大意。 以样题为例，根据第二段未题句"Often people like to take with them a gift for the host* s wife of a party they have been invited to. ” 及 Again, you may choose something for the host's wife alone or for the entire family. 考生不难推测所记要点应是作客时，客人应带些什么礼品及所赠对象，而决不会涉及作客时应穿什么样的服装或到、离主人家时间等方面的内容，这样便增强了考生对文章的认知度)熟悉感。缩小了内容范I韦I，考生听音时更具针对性和准确性，心理放松，更为白信，使白己在考试屮处于主动地位。 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大有裨益。因为文章具有一致性和连贯性的特点，从试题屮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血文字，对听力材料有了大致的了解，因此听读第一遍时，考生可以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儿个关键词，而在记笔记时，又要能有效；专注地去听，获取信息理解全文。听写屮边听边记具有必要性，听为手段，写为目的；听和记两种不同的语言技能在'复合式听写“中有着紧密的联系，相互促进。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，依次与出的内容要点才会更加全面、准确。另一方面，边听边记也具有可行性，试想学主听外籍教师上课，听了一遍不是也可记下授课要点吗？只要多加练习，其实也不难做到。 3.提高记笔记的效率 一般考生听完两汤基木可听懂句意；但只凭记忆写要点，往往容易有疏漏和错误。足够信息量的笔记是写好要点的重要条件；但如何在有限的时间内记录下更多的内容呢？这里介绍儿种方法。 首先,可使用缩略语。仍以样题为例,可用esp.代especially, sth代something, apprec代appreciation等。没有缩略语的词汇,如字母较少的单词,可完整写出该词，如gift, take,字母较多的单词(只写该词前几个字母；这里的基木要求是快速；省时，并能表达含义。缩略语不一定要求规范，茯室可用些符号, 所记内容不一定要求完整，只要能起到提示的作用，白己能看懂就行了。 其次，由于“复合式听写”第二部分朗读时没有停顿，即使使甩缩略语也难记下全文，因此考生应有选择地记笔记。英语屮实词具有表意功能，而虚词多具语法功能，所记词应以实词为主。 另外，因为“复合式听写”第二部分只要求写出内容要点，这样考生应重点记下句中的中心词。(同样以样题为例)短语a thank-you gift, greatly appreciated 和quite acceptable中的定、状语便可略去不记。 通过这儿种方法，考生大大压缩了所记的词语，赢得了时问，精练了内容，增大了笔记的信息量，为写好内容要点创造了条件。 4.书面表达内容要点 “复合式听写”全文朗读两遍后停顿五分钟，让考生根据所听和所记内容写出第二部分主要意思。答题时，考生应针对以上内容及第一部分和第二部分的主题句进行诊折、判断，概括。文章要点显然不可缺漏，但也无需有闻必录,多多益善，考生应分清主次,有所取爱，从这个意义上说,“复合式听写”还要求考生具有一定的逻辑分析。归纳能力。文字表达应简洁、通顺、准确。分析样题参考答案，我们不难发现它有以下特点：\ 1.将内容要点分列为几点，清楚明白，一目了然。 2.要点尽可能用完整的简单句表达，不宜用短语，句式也不宜过手复杂。 3.尽量省去语句屮可有可无的修饰成份。
一、给分标准 1. 36-43每题0.5分。拼写完全正确的单词给0.5分，凡有错不给分，大小写错误忽略不计; 2. 44-46题满分为2分，答出内容且语言正确各得1分; 二、扣分标准 1. 44-46题中有语言错误扣0.5分，每题语言错误扣分不超过0.5分，凡不得分部分，如有语言错误不再重复扣分; 2. 44-46题中凡与问题无关的内容扣0.5分。 3. 44-46题中如出现明显属于笔误造成的大小写、标点符号错误，不扣分。 4. 用汉语回答问题不给分。 复合式听写是一种非常有效的综合性测试形式，可以考查学生词汇量、拼写、句法、听力、理解、记笔记和一定的书面表达等多方面的要素和技能。全面打好语言基本功是提高听写能力的重要途径，但听写训练具有自身的科学性和技巧性，多练加巧练则可取得事半功倍的成效。 从以往历年的考题来看，总体说来，以前的文章多取材围绕日常生活、科技发展、历史起源、人物回顾、文化娱乐等。文章的开头或段首多半有主题句，之后的段落和句子进一步具体扩展、说明或论证主题句。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。 复合式听写包括两部分：第一部分要求考生根据录音内容准确填出空格里的词汇，一般为一个单词，全段共填8个单词；第二部分要求考生听完后写出该部分的文章重点。复合式听写的全文内容约250字，共朗读三遍。第一遍为全文朗读，语速正常，中间无停顿；第二遍朗读时在所填句子后停顿一段时间，让考生根据所听内容写出主要意思；第三遍又以正常语速朗读全文，没有停顿。有一点需要提醒大家的是，录音中有明确对考生的提示：“you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words'’，也就是说你可以在听懂句意后进行归纳，并用自己的话简练地将要点表达出来。 复合式听写的考察要点 第一，对于较难单词拼写的考察 一些长度较长，属于大学四级范畴但又不包含在高中词汇的词往往是四级考试词汇部分的重点考察对象，例如“investigated”、“recommend”等。 第二，名词的单复数问题一直是复合式听写考察的一个重点 不仅考察听力，也考察考生的语法功底，语法功底薄弱的考生往往在检查时将这一点忽略，造成了会做的题也失分的局面。好在这样的问题如果多加注意也是可以解决的。毕竟给名词变复数这类简单的转换还不至于难倒我们。但是对于一种类型的词我们一定要多加注意，就是一些有时候可数有时候不可数的单词，比如曾在四级中考过experience一词，当它表示“经历”时为可数名词，而表示“经验”时却是不可数名词，当时该题就考察了“life experiences”生活经历的意思。
英语专业四级考试1993年——203年听写原文 1993 Package Holidays Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination．Everything is laid on for you．There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves．You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people．This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling．Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short．There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before． (1994) The American Family The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse co mbinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone. (1995) Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.
英语四级听力篇之复合式听写 大学英语四级中的“复合式听写”（Compound Dictation）这一题型，它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 餐厅日程表同事 所有四级真题听力部分的原文和选项部分的词汇全部背会。要求听懂且能够准确拼写。 四级复合式听写占全卷10%，共11题。前8题需要考生听写出8个单词，每词占0.5%。后三题需要考生听写出句子，每句得分2%。其中单词部分必须听到什么写什么，很可能会涉及被动语态、时态、单复数等语法。句子部分有两种做法，考试规定，可以听到什么写什么，也可以用自己的总结语言写要点。听写共播读三遍，第一遍和第三遍匀速，第二遍时，句子部分播读完毕会停顿1分钟左右。 1、评分原则 要求考生将听到的单词正确写出；将听到的原文句子正确写出，或用自己的语言正确写出。 2、评分标准 1）S1至S7每题0.5分，答案如上所示。如拼写单词有误，则不给分。 2）S8题满分2.5分；S9和S10题满分各为2分。 3）S8至S10题中的语言错误无论多与少，每题只扣0.5分；写出与问题无关的内容扣0.5分；用汉语答题不给分。 3、其他正确答案举例 以S8题为例，下列回答均可得满分。 1）seven bad men jumped out. One man had a knife and we got into a flight. 2）Seven bad men jumped at me, one of them had a knife and we got into a flight. 3）Seven bad men jumped out and fought with me, one of them had a knife. 4）Seven bad men threatened me with a knife and we got into a flight. 2、如何边听边写? 2-1 缩写法。用首1-2字母缩写听到的词，这样会写得更快; 2-2 写句子的头尾。在记忆一个整句的时候，考生都更加容易记住句子的开始和结尾，先写这些内容，也可以增加分数。 2-3 有舍有得。一些修饰性词汇，例如副词和形容词，并非重点。而对句子含义不影响的成分一般不扣分。比如“it usually takes more words to be polite”中的usually就不是重点，就可以不写。
Passage 1 Town and Country Life in England There is a big difference between town life and country life in England. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others. In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in London are often very lonely. This is because people go to different places in the evenings and at weekends. If you walk through the streets in the centre of London on Sunday, it is like a town without people. One is sorry for old people living on their own .They could die in their homes and would not be discovered for weeks or even months.

Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

【如何过英语专业四级】英语专业四级听力50篇 英语专业四级考试是英语专业生面临的第一个检验自己英语水平的大型考试，那么你知道如何过英语专业四级吗?下面是小编为你整理的过英语专业四级考试的方法，希望大家喜欢! 过英语专业四级考试的方法 一步是做一套英语专业四级的真题卷，检验自己的的英语究竟处于怎么样的水平，并了解自己的优势和劣势。 每天坚持听一套听力，尤其是dictation，更是重中之重。要静听而不是泛听，相信付出总有收获。 阅读控制好时间，4篇阅读最好控制在25-28分钟之间。应试时最好先看题目再答题，遇到生词不要过分纠结，跳过或根据上下文猜测词意。平时多记单词注意词汇的积累 每个星期坚持写一篇专四作文，写好后最好请教同学老师有哪些需要改进的地方。专四的作文是有模板可循的，多记些句型和标准句子。特别要注意的是论据一定要分点写并层次分明。 根据实际情况每天记一定的词汇，为自己的英语水平打好坚实的壁垒。 自2016年起，TEM-4考试的试卷结构和测试题型作了局部调整。考试题型共分6个部分：听写、听力理解、语言知识、完形填空、阅读理解、写作。考生应特别注意改革题型。 英语专业四级考试注意事项 ictation注意事项： dictation其实并不难加上大家平日里的做试卷基本都可以取得基本分，但是优秀者和成绩普通者的差距在于听完后的检查，要知道dictation扣分要求严格，一个标点，一个大小写，
冠词都可能导致扣分，因此dictataion做完后务必拿出部分时间检查。 另外写错了，有且只有划掉单词重写这样一种补救方式。 听力剩下部分： 其它的部分最好是能够在试卷发下来的时间里提前把题目看了，对于对话或者段落要知道并无太大难度，因为大量的内容给了你更多的上下文帮助你理解信息。 听力务必注意事项：在听力中应当学会放弃，没听到的题目应做到果断放弃，不管不想，不纠结，马上放下做下一题。毕竟一题不决定成败。 cloze： cloze应当注意平日里的练习积累，做题时注意上下文的联系，相信不难。 grammer: 这个平常大家总会有很多出错。不过细究起来，无非考词汇和语法两点，建议考前通过做大量的类似题目来提高准确率。当然也可以把这类题放到阅读后再做。 reading comprehension： 这个算是大头，一个分值较高，建议做时，先扫读四篇文章，看题目难易度，再更具此分配时间。阅读时应该以意群为单位，而非单词!此外日常的知识，经验可以作为参考，但一定不能作为选题的依据。 阅读误区：重读，用手指指着读，读出声音。 essay writing
四级听力复合式听写题的应对及答题时间安排 Company Document number：WUUT-WUUY-WBBGB-BWYTT-1982GT
四级听力复合式听写题的应对及答题时间安排在历年来的四级考试听力部分中，短对话 （short?conversation）和短文听力 （passage?comprehension）的组合是最多见的。它们也是四级听力题目的主要形式。但是从1997年6月开始，一种新的、难的、没有选项的、没有办法投机取巧的、让很多考生极其头疼甚至是恐惧的新的听力题目的形式出现了，这就是复合式听写：Compound?Dictation。? 几乎所有来新东方接受四级培训的学员都希望听力老师对即将进行的考试做预测，判断听力20题中的后10道是短文听力还是复合式听写。当然也包括今年——最后一次出现四级老题目的机会。历史上出现复合式听写的年份分别是：1997年6月、1998年1月、2001年6月、2003年1月、2004年6月、2005年1月。? 从以上数值和年份来看，除了发现近年来复合式听写考得较多之外，几乎没有任何信息能够暗示2006年6月的四级旧题型考试中是否会出现复合式听写。如果真的可以预测，笔者当然可以信心十足地告诉你：出现几率为50％。既然任何对未知考试内容进行的预测都有极大的风险，与其战战兢兢的押宝，倒不如本着“知己知彼，百战不殆”的精神来了解这种题目。? 首先，关于复合式听写你必须明确的几点：?
1、?共十个空。占10％的分数比例（新题型中分值为10％ ×710＝71分）? 2、?前七空为单个单词填写，必须写下听到的准确形式，即听到什么写什么。得分，每空分，共分。? 3、?后三空为句子填写。请注意，此时，你既可以听到什么写下什么，也可以按照自己的话将要点写下来。后三空的分数设置为：2分、2分和分。三句中最长的一句是分的句子。? 4、?从文体类型上看，97年为故事，98年为人物传记，01以后全部为说明文，难度在增加。? 5、?从2006年的12月全面实施四级新题型之后，听写部分将永恒出现在听力的最后一部分，占去10％比例。? 6、?需要提醒，听写部分得满分的几率和写作得满分的几率一样低。 那么，如何去应对有可能出现的复合式听写呢? 一、?关于前七空：? 前七空的单词的出题标准很简单，即能够听懂，但是很容易写错。例如97年的typical被大部分人写成 tipical,?describe被大部分人写成discribe，2001年的environmental,很多人会忘记写n……总之，拼写总能够让你把貌似简单的单词弄错。?

A) She must have paid a lot for the gym. B) She is known to have a terrific figure. C) Her gym exercise has yielded good results. D) Her effort to keep fit is really praiseworthy. Woman: I’ve been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape. Man: You look terrific! It seems that your effort has paid off. Question: What does the man imply about the woman? 解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为C（她的健身房联系获得了好的结果）。yielded good results和原文中的your effort has paid off 产生了替换作用。其中，类似gym和terrific、efforts等这样明显的词汇是特别需要慎选的，因为这些词汇都在原文中被明显播读过。另外本题目中还包括很多有用的说法：例如terrific figure
