英语四级听力短对话高分策略(1)

(单词翻译:单击)

  听力短对话部分虽然由原先的10个题改为8个题,但就其题目特点与解题思路而言与以往的老题型没有太大的差异。样题本身也都取自最近几次的考题。

  综合对最近几次听力对话真题的研究与分析,不难发现,听力短对话部分仍然遵循以场景词为核心,把握关键结构词汇(如:转折、因果、时间、比较、重复等)和关键句型句式(如:反问句式、建议句型等),结合语音、语调、语速变化所引起的特征发音现象(如:连读、失爆等)的综合解题思路。这些题目一如既往地贯彻了以往的几大常见考点:

  一、转折引起的说话人态度及谈论重点的变化
  如样卷第11题:

11.[A]The man hates to.1end his tools to other people.

[B]The man hasn't finished working on the bookshelf.

[c]The tools have already been returned to the woman.

[D]The tools the man borrowed from the woman are missing.

  W:Simon,Oh,well,could you return the tools I lend you for building the bookshelf last month?

  M:Oh,I hate to tell you this,but I can't seem to find them.

  Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

对话先前部分,即女士的语言虽然相当复杂,包括要求返还、返还物品、租借理由、租借时间等复杂信息,但这些却都没有成为考点,而是选择了男士那句简单回答中的转折后的中心内容为考点,体现了四级考试中对转折考点的考查。这句话其实完全可以认为是I'd love to,but…的一个变体。其后面所接部分不仅是转折后的内容,而且往往又是一个原因的体现,这也是四级考试中的重点之:

  二、建议句型的考查

建议句型往往是比较复杂的考点之~,因为句型相对比较多,而且隐蔽性比较强,如样卷第12题:

1 2.[A]Save time by using a computer.
  [B]Buy her own computer.

[c]Borrow Martha's computer.
  [D]Stay home and complete her paper.

  W:I am going tO Martha's house.I have a paper to complete.And I need tO use her computer.

  M:Why don't you buy one yourself?Think how much time you could save.

  Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?

问题直接指向建议,问到suggest这个词,自然,对话中的Why don't you就成了重中之重。否定的反问,自然体现了肯定的意思,言下之意无非就是You should buy one yourself。

  三、对现象原因的阐述与补充

考题中现在越来越多地出现隐含原因的表达,即没有原因表达词的原因考点,如样卷第13题:

13.[A]He has been t0 Seattle many times.
  [B]He has chaired a lot of conferences.

[C]He holds a high position in his company.
  [D]He lived in Seattle for many years.

  W:Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.

  M:He's certainly in a position to make that comment.He's been there so often.

  Q:What does the man say about Bob?

本题中男士的第二句解释了第 一句的理由,作为一个解释说明性的补充存在,男士的第二句之前完全可 以加下一个because使考点更清晰,但这样也就使其难度人幅下降,所以这罩没有出现because,不仪从语言上表示是个非直接理由,即说话人并非经过严密逻辑思维后形成的句了,这样且加大了考试的难度。
