听力应试技巧综述
听力理解部分是六级考试的必考题型,而且在考试中占相当大的比重,然而此部分又是考生容易失分的部分,因此,我们为广大考生总结了听力考试的应试技巧:
1. 充分合理地利用时间
听力理解的录音内容与时间安排大致如下:
(1) 从试音、宣布考试开始至小段乐曲结束约为1分钟。
(2) 从“College English Test, Band Six, Part I Listening Comprehension, Section A, Directions” 起至短对话结束约为6分钟;然后迅速进入长对话,约为6分钟。
(3) 从“Section B, Directions”至短文理解结束约为10分钟。
(4) 从“Section C, Directions”至复合式听写结束约为7分钟。
考生应对考试中出现的四种题型及各个题型的Directions了然于胸,应充分利用各部分录音播放Directions的时间,迅速浏览该部分试题,并快速做出合理的推测。为节省时间,要采取先易后难的原则。根据各部分指令所占时间的不同,进行合理的分配。
各部分指令所用的时间如下:
对话:55秒。该部分包括8道短对话试题和7道长对话试题,要想在55秒内做出合理推测,时间略显不足。应该利用试音的1分钟快速浏览长对话的选项。
短文理解:35秒。对于三篇短文共10个问题的推测时间略显不足。
复合式听写:55秒。做该部分题目时,应该迅速通读全文,领会其主要意思,同时集中注意力推测前7个空。
此外,还要高效利用各题之间的间隙(约为15秒),做完一题后,马上准备下一题。
2. 尽量排除干扰因素,调整好心态,既要谨慎,也要有自信心
在很多的试题中,个别单词没有听懂往往并不影响对该题的理解,因此在应试中不必强求听懂每一个单词。当然,没有听懂关键词而影响答题的情况也是有的,此时不要硬想该题的解答,而是应该放过,以免影响后面的答题。
短对话基本解题技巧
1. 提前阅读选项并进行推理判断的基本策略
由于六级考试级别和水平都较高,题型设计严格遵循测试要求,其要求之一就是选择题的四个选项在难度、长度和相关方面要一致。对我们有用的主要信息是以下三点:
(1) 四个选项都多少与话题有关,由此判断话题;
(2) 根据四个选项的形式判断所提问题的类型和内容;
(3) 根据四个选项的相似程度推测正确答案。
事实上,大多数试题均有线索可寻,甚至有的试题可直接推测出答案,对于无法推测出答案的试题大多也能猜出可能的提问。不易推测出答案的试题其选择项一般都只是句子的一个部分。例如:数字、非限定动词词组、名词等。对于这类试题要尽可能猜出其提问方式。
【例1】 A) Long exposure to the sun. B) Lack of sleep.
C) Too tight a hat. D) Long working hours.
【听前预测】 这四个选项,长时间的日晒、睡眠不足、帽子过紧、工作时间过长都有可能导致人的身体不适,因此我们可以大胆猜测,说话人之一感觉不舒服,对方可能询问原因(the reason, why, what is the cause...)。
【听力原文】
M: My headaches are terrible. Maybe I need more sleep.
W: Actually, you need less sun and some aspirin. It would help if you wear a hat.
Q: What is the cause of the man’s headache, according to the woman?
【答案剖析】 A)。本题的陷阱较多,男士自己认为他可能是因为睡眠不足,考生容易受到误导,选择B),而实际上题目问的是女士认为这位男士头疼的原因,根据less sun可以判断出答案应为A)。
2. 根据信息词判断地点和说话人的身份、职业、关系等
【例2】 A) Manager and employee. B) Salesman and customer.
C) Guide and tourist. D) Professor and student.
【听前预测】 很明显,这四个选项给出的信息是关系问题(relationship between the speakers)。
【听力原文】
W: Sorry, I did not come yesterday, because I had a temperature. Could you tell me the requirement for my term paper?
M: The theme of your paper can be about business management or touring resources in China, and the length of the paper should be no less than fifteen pages.
Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers?
【答案剖析】 D)。根据term paper一词我们可以做出选择,这是教授和学生的关系。
3. 注意记笔记,将人物、地点、时间等对号入座
这种方法很重要,短对话中往往涉及多个数字、地点、时间等,而我们又不确定实际会考查哪一个,甚至有时需要我们快速地计算,因此,做笔记有利于找出正确的答案。
【例3】 A)$12. B)$14. C)$24. D)$30.
【听前预测】 这种数字题,通常需要判断、计算,直接听到的信息一般不是正确答案。
【听力原文】
M: Operator, I’d like to make a call to Paris, please. How much will it cost?
W: $10 for the first three minutes and $2 for each additional minute.
Q: How much will a ten-minute call cost?
【答案剖析】 C)。本题涉及4个数字,如果能迅速记录下来,通过计算10+(10-3)×2就会很容易得出答案为C)$24。
短对话基本问题类型
1. 按问题涉及类型分类
(1) 问“是什么、要什么、讨论什么、什么种类”等。例如:
What does the woman want for lunch?
What are they talking about?
What kind of books does the man want to borrow?
(2) 问“做什么”。例如:
What does the woman suggest the man do?
What are the speakers doing now?
(3) 问“什么含义”。例如:

What does the woman’s answer suggest?
(4) 问“从对话中能获得什么信息或结论”。例如:

偶尔也有个别一般疑问句,但也可能出现其他类型的问句(如以Whom, Whose, Which提问),或针对以上未归纳的内容进行提问。
2. 按对话内容分类
(1) 时间类:包括直接型和计算型。例如:
W: Your library books are due on December 13. If you have not finished using them by then, you may renew them once.
M: Thank you very much. I only need them for a few days.
Q: When must the man return his books to the library? (直接型)
(2) 数字类:包括直接型和计算型。例如:

M: Yes, I do. It’s a six-man suite, but at the moment only four of us live there. Q: How many people share the suite now? (直接型)
(3) 地点类:包括直接型和含蓄型。例如:
M: I need to cash this check.
W: Will you step right over to the teller’s window, please?
Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?(含蓄型)
(4) 否定类:此类对话既可以含有not, no, neither, nor等否定词,也有but, although等转折词,或由would rather, too...to结构及虚拟语气等表达。因此,对这些关键词后面的内容要特别加以注意。例如:
M: To collect data for my report, I need to talk to someone who knows that small city very well. I was told that you lived there for quite a long time.
W: Oh, I wish I could help, but I was only a child then.
Q: What does the woman imply?
(5) 人物类:包括人物关系、人物身份两类。此类对话提供一个情节,能反映所涉及的人物关系或身份。例如:
M: Good evening, Madam. There is a table for two over there. This way, please.
W: Thank you. Could I see the menu, please?
Q: What’s the relationship between the man and the woman?
(6) 活动类:这一类谈话内容涉及上课、娱乐、工作、日常生活等各种情况。例如:
W: Jerry, can you pick me up after work today? I left my car at the garage.
M: I’m afraid I can’t. I have scheduled an appointment with a client at dinner time. Q: What is the man going to do?
六级考试的对话场景基本上都是考生所熟悉的,如校园、生活、工作、各种社交场所等。考生既要熟悉各种场景,还要了解这些场景下的常用语和常见表达,这对解题很有帮助。不仅要知道这些常用词汇和短语的意思,还要知道他们的同义表达方式,因为现在听力试题一般不会在选项中出现对话中的原词和词组。而掌握这些场景下选项的特点和提问方式,必然有助于选择正确的答案。
以下场景是对话中所占比例较大的:
1. 与饮食相关
包括外出就餐、在饭店找座位、点菜、谈论食物及减肥等相关话题。
【例4】 W: Your wife told me that you eat out four or five times a week, I really envy you!
