Listening Comprehension一基本要求二听力题型三题型分析四应试技巧五CET-4听力十大基本解题原则六基本答题技巧补充一、基本要求《大学英语课程教学基本要求》对学生英语听力能力（四级水平）的一般要求可以量化为：能听懂英语授课，能听懂日常英语谈话和一般性题材讲座，能基本听懂英语慢速节目（语速120词每分钟），并能运用基本听力技巧帮助理解中心思想和信息要点，理解的准确率不低于70%。

听力是大学英语四级考试的重点（占总卷面分数的35％，249分），也是大多数中国学生英语学习的薄弱环节，因此掌握听力技巧对在考试中获取高分至关重要。

二、听力题型试题改革后听力理解部分的难度降低，更注重考查考生语言运用的综合能力。

听力分值占试卷总分的35％，其中听力对话占15 ％，听力短文占20 ％。

听力共35道题，分三部分，由section A, section B和section C组成，用时30分钟。

section A对话部分包括8组短对话(每组一题）和2组长对话（每组词数为250左右，3-4个问题），共15题。

section B是短文理解，一般由3篇短文组成，10题，每篇词数在180-300之间，每题为一个问句。

这部分主要测试考生的整体听力理解能力。

section C是短文听写，即单词及词组听写，要求记下10个单词或词组。

三、题型分析八个短对话理解的题型一般有时间，地点，职业，关系，活动，态度，观点或者看法，直接含义，间接暗示等。

两组长对话的理解题型一般随话轮的交替而追问事件的先后次序、事件的因果关系、事件的逻辑对比和对照等关系，以及对话一方的行为和打算等。

短文理解一般由三篇题材熟悉，内容难度适当，话题比较流行，字数在250字左右的小品文或者小故事组成。

每篇文章之后有3—4个问题，问题往往涉及到考生对短文中重要细节，中心思想，作者态度，特殊词汇的理解。

考生在短文理解中的难点在于信息量大，很难记住听到的信息。
