40天攻克大学英语四级.pdf

Unit 1收得领地Day 1牛刀小试计算类概述牛刀小试计算类概述虽然近五年来十次四级听力考试计算类的题型在小对话中出现的频率不高,但有可 能这次你会遇见咯！所以不得不防之。相对其他题型而言，计算类是四级听力中的基础题(可 分为计算题、细节辨认题、等值转换题)，也应该是你的抢分题，故不可”大意失荆州”。地 球人都知道四级中听力的计算类不是在考咱们连小学生一年级都会做的加减乘除，测评大家 的IQ,醉翁之意不在酒，而是在考大家对英语听力的反应速度，只要意识到这一点，现在 你就要学会如何运用技巧来所谓的“抓鱼”了一一核心在于抓住关键的细节所在之处，in a other word,你要知道根据题意该听什么，怎么把它去听准。计算题M:When does the next shuttle bus leave?W:You have just missed one by 20 minutes.We have a bus every 45 minutes,so you 11 have to wait for a while.Q:How long does the man need to wait for the next bus?A)25 minutes B)65 minutesC)20 minutes D)45 minutes【解析】当你看见这四个选项，不难发现这一题是在考与时间有关的内容，并且 从选项当中可以推测到是考时间的加减关系，因为其中三个选项都是正确答案的干扰选项，说到这里，你就要做好充分的思想准备。原文中除了听清20和45两个数字之外，重要的是 明白其之间的联系，通过missed知道已经错过，而介词“by”专门用在计算题表差额；通 过every知道每辆车之间45分钟，问的是wait for the next bus还得等多长时间,很清楚这 里是减法的计算关系，所以选择A。细节辨认题M:I wonder if Jack will come here by 11 o clock.W:His wife said he left home at 10:30,so he should be here at 11:20 at the latest.Q:What time did Jack leave home?A)ll:20B)10:30 C)10:50 D)11:30【解析】原文中出现三个数字，11:00是Man觉得杰克应该到的时间；10:30是杰 克的妻子说他离开家的时间；11:20是Woman认为杰克应该到的时间。我们再来看问题，选B是对号入座。【死马活医】如果没听清，这里就要充分运用技巧来猜选，时间中的B和C选项，可以合并小时“10”；时间中的B和D选项，可以合并分钟“30”，通过合并同列项方法，就能猜选答案为B。等值转换题M:These postcards cost 60 cents a dozen.W:Two dozen should certainly do.Q:How many postcards will the man buy?A)60 B)12 C)24 D)16【解析】第一句话是“声东击西”，60美分一打，问题并不是我们所期待的考多 少钱，考价格，而是在问数量，第二句话提到数量，但前面加了 pair,意味着要乘以2。除了 清楚这些还不够，dozen是英语中数字的代用词，表示12。所以选C。常见的数字计算类提问形式：1.What time？5.How far？2.How much/many*?6.How often？3.How long？7.How old？4.When？先来热热身1.A)6B)15 C)20 D)212.A)5:00 B)5:15 C)5:30 D)5:453.A)$2 B)$20 C)$12D)$104.A)5:00 B)5:15 C)5:30 D)5:455.A)in 5 minutes B)in 10 minutesC)in 15 minutes D)in 25 minutes1.【选D】原文重现M:Tom must be over twenty now.W:I think so,when I left Paris six years ago,he was already fifteen.Q:How old is Tom now?2.【选B】原文重现1997.1M:What s the time for departure?W:5:30.That only leaves us 15 minutes to go through the customs and check our baggage.Q:At what time did the conversation take place?3.【选C】原文重现W:Good evening,sir.Why not try our dry beer.Two dollars for each bottle,and twenty for a dozen.M:Well,a dozen is too much for me.Give me a half.Q:How much does the man need to pay?4.【选C】原文重现W:It s five already,I suppose the meeting will be postponed to 5:45.M:Well,the secretary said something unexpected happened.The meeting will begin in 30 minutes.Q:When will the meeting begin?5.【选D】原文重现W:Excuse me,sir.Does the No.l bus stop here?M:Yes,but the bus only runs every half hour and one just went by five minutes ago.Q:When will the No.l bus come?unit 1收得领地Day 2计算题计算题计算题中应注意对话中的具体数字，抓住其类型是时间，还是价格、重量、或数量 以及其针对的相关动作或事件，在听的过程中有目的地做笔记，为以后计算做好充分的准备。以下为与数字相关的常用词汇及表达方式。数字单位百 hundred 千 thousand 百万 million 十亿 billion 不定数目about接近，大约around在.周围，差不多almost几乎or so大约 more than比.更多less than比.更少below在.以下，不及under未满，少于时刻表述3:15 a quarter past three（英）或 three fifteen（美）9:30 half past nine（英）或 nine thirty（美）15:00 fifteen o?clock（英）或 three p.m（美）00:10 ten past

bill,give me two tickets for tonight?s show please.M:Sure.Two tickets and here s$1.40 change.Q:How much does one ticket cost?A)$1.40 B)$4.30 C)$6.40 D)$8.60【预测】看见选项带有“$”的符号，可断定这题是考与钱有关的内容，选项中的 B和D又是倍数关系，往往为货币倍数计算题，所以确定B、D为最可疑选项。【解析】原文中出现4个数字，首先，聪明的你必须分清楚它们分别代表什么，之间有什么联系：“10”代表一张面值10美元(bill)的应付钞票，“2”代表要买的2张门 票(tickets),“L40”代表所找的1.40元零钱(change),“1”代表问题中问到的1张门票值 多少钱(cost)o再来计算,不难发现(10-1.40)/2=4.30,答案为B选项。【例2】1997.1M:What s the time for departure?W:5:30.That only leaves us 15 minutes to go through the customs and check our baggage.Q:At what time did this conversation take place?A)5:00 B)5:15 C)5:30 D)5:45【预测】通过选项发现此题的答案小时都为5,分钟各不同，可预测到这题肯定 是考分钟的加减运算，并且分钟之间差额按顺序都有15分钟，故判断原文中可能会围绕“fifteen minutes”的计算。【解析】原文中共出现两个数字，因此在听的过程中注意与这两个时间有关的动 作或事件。5:30代表航班起飞的时间，明白leave代表只剩下15分通关的意思，不难听出 它们之间的加减关系，所以A和C可以排除，剩下用减法，答案为B。Directions:In this section,you will hear 10 short conversations.At the end of each conversation,a question will be asked

也是许多考生丢分的所在之处。原因是在原文中有很多干扰信息，其迷惑性极高，容易使人 掉入其陷阱当中。所以遇到这种题型，首先务必明确其所有相关数字它们分别代表什么，并 且关键是问什么，做好相应笔记，不要张冠李戴，盲目作答。尤其是要分清数字中“-teen”和“-ty”等之类读法的区别：前者为重读音节“ee”发长元音/i:/,而后者不是。【例1】2001.6M:I wonder if Suzy will be here by 5 o clock.W:Her husband said she left home at 4:30,she should be here at 5:10,may be 5:15 at the latest.Q:What time did Suzy leave home?A)5:15 B)5:10 C)4:30 D)5:00【解析】首先辨清问题是Suzy什么时候从家里出发，Suzy的丈夫说她4:30离家,所以C正确，A、B、D都为干扰选项，A是Suzy最晚需要到达的时间，B是Suzy应该到 达的时间，D是预先计划到达的时间。【例2】W:Tom,you know that America covers an area of 9 million square kilometers?M:That s right.I also know the continental United States stretches 5,418 kilometers from the east to the west.Q:What is the breadth of the continental USA from the east to the west?A)5,418 kilometers B)5,481 kilometersC)9,000 kilometers D)3,592 kilometers【预测】看到这种选项，表明其答案在原文播音中一定会放出，应做好相应笔记。【解析】通过合并同类项方法可以排除选项C,因为四位数前两位都是54,难点 在于分清18和80的读法区别至关重要：eighteen&eightyo所以选A,正确四位数读法为 five thousand four hundred and eighteen o1.A)9:30 B)10:15 C)10:50 D)14:152.A)7:50 B)7:45 C)8:00 D)8:103.A)700,000 B)717,130 C)717,300 D)770,3004.A)Once a week B)Twice a weekC)Three times a week D)Four times a week5.A)713 B)730
