萬達教育告訴你四級聽力技巧
在英語四級的考試中,聽力是很重要的一個指標(biāo),現(xiàn)在萬達教育為你介紹在四級考試中的英語聽力技巧。
萬達教育提示你,根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容進行推測是四級聽力考試非常重要的組成部分,也是難度較大的一類題型。其特點是說話人表達思想的方式比較含蓄,往往不能為選擇答案提供直接的信息。這就要求考生在聽懂對話的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)對話中的關(guān)鍵詞、上下文、說話人的語氣等,利用邏輯推理去推測說話人的真實意圖、對話發(fā)生的地點和時間、事件發(fā)生的原因等。常見的提問形式有:
what does the man mean(suggest/indicate / imply)?
what can be inferred from the conversation?
what do we learn from the conversation?
what can be concluded from the conversation?
1.從間接回答中推測隱含意義
間接回答這樣的題目經(jīng)常在推測題型中出現(xiàn),其特點是,第二個說話人對第一個說話人的提問不直接回答,而是間接回答,往往給人以答非所問的感覺。例如:
m:isn’t that a new brand of typewriter you are working at?
w:oh,bill.that isn’t the first time you’ve asked me about it.
q:what does the woman imply?
a.the man is a forgetfulperson.
b.the typewriter is not new.
c.the man can have the type-writer later.
d.the man misunderstood her.
對話中的this isn’tthe first time you’ve asked me about it.意為:你已經(jīng)不止一次問我這個問題了。言外之意是“我已經(jīng)說過多少次了,你怎么這么健忘!惫蚀鸢笧閍。
2.推測原因或結(jié)果
因果題型是比較容易的一種題型?忌灰凑兆雎犃︻}的常規(guī)方法,即瀏覽選項,預(yù)測考點,細聽原文,對照預(yù)測,做出推測去做就可以了。要注意的是,出于禮貌,有時說話人不直接講出不能做某事的原因,而是先以肯定的形式表示贊同,然后再利用轉(zhuǎn)折詞直接說出原因。例如:
w:why didn’t you make an appointment to see the doctor last week when you first twist your ankle?
m:the injury didn’t seem serious then.i decided to go today because my foot still hurt when i put my weight on it.
q:why didn’t the man see the doctor earlier?
a.his injury kept him at home.
b.he thought it unnecessary.
c.he was too weak to see the doctor.
d.he failed to make an appointment.
從四個選項可以推測對話涉及到男士沒去看醫(yī)生的原因。女士問為何沒有看醫(yī)生,男士回答說他當(dāng)時以為自己傷得并不嚴(yán)重,由此可以推斷b為答案。
3.推測人物職業(yè)身份
要求考生根據(jù)對話提供的信息,推測說話人的職業(yè)、身份、對話雙方的關(guān)系等。關(guān)鍵在于熟悉對話中常見的表示職業(yè)、身份的特征詞。
w:mr.smith,i’d like to talk to you about my term paper.when will it be convenient?
m:what about 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon?
q:what is the man?
a.student. b.dentist. c.teacher. d.librarian.
根據(jù)對話中與身份密切相關(guān)的關(guān)鍵詞termpaper(學(xué)期論文)可判斷答案為c。
4.從重復(fù)詞句中推測真實含義
聽力測試中有時會出現(xiàn)第二說話人重復(fù)第一說話人所講的部分詞句的情況。這種情況一般有兩種含義:一是speaker 2否定speaker 1的意見;二是speaker 2贊成speaker 1的意見(這
情況很少)。要判斷是哪種含義,首先要注意重復(fù)部分朗讀時的語調(diào):升調(diào)表示否定;降調(diào)表示肯定。然后再結(jié)合重復(fù)詞后的附加說明所表示的態(tài)度做出結(jié)論。例如:
w:would you like acup of coffee to help you wake up?
m:a cup of coffee??i need three or four.
q:what does the man mean?
a.he doesn’t like coffee at all.
b.he needs more cups of coffee.
c.he willneed coffee in three or four minutes.
d.he prefers coffee to tea.
對話中重復(fù)詞語用的是升調(diào),說明speaker 2持否定態(tài)度。不過從附加說明看,speaker 2否定的不是“咖啡”,而是“一”,故選b。
5.利用對英語國家文化背景的了解進行推斷
例如:
w:do you have ;jane eyre?i want a copy for my sister’s birthday.
m:this book has been out of stock for along time.i wonder why it has become popular again.
q:what does the man want to know?
a.when the woman’s birthday is.
b.who jane eyreis.
c.why the book has become popular again.
d.what is out of stock.
如果考生了解jane eyre是一本英國文學(xué)名著并理解out of stock的意義,很容易就可推斷出答案是c。當(dāng)然男士的回答“this book”也給予了提示。
