英語四級聽力的答題小技巧

聽力部分雖説是大學英語四級考試的難點，但是考生可以通過一些答題小技巧來助考。為此本站小編為大家帶來大學英語四級聽力題的一些答題小技巧。

一、抓住首尾句

主題句常常是在對話的開頭，它對整個對話的內容起一個概括和提示的作用，實際上是説話人所談論的中心話題。長對話中的第一題很可能是針對對話的開頭提問，考查考生對整個對話的主題或所談話題的把握。

結尾處往往涉及到建議、決定或某種行為等，它對整個對話起到一個總結的作用。長對話的最後一題經常是針對對話的結尾設題，故留意其中的關鍵動詞就成了解題的關鍵。

【例1】

【預覽選項】

[A] To go sightseeing.

[B] To have meetings.

[C] To promote a new champagne.

[D] To join in a training program.

【邊聽邊記】

M: Hi, Ann, welcome back. How's your trip to the states?

W: Very busy, [19]I had a lot of meetings. …

19. Why did the woman go to New York?

【答案解析】

選[B]。細節題。對話一開始，男士就問女士去美國的`旅行怎麼樣，女士回答説很忙，她had alot of meetings(要參加很多會議)，由此可知女士去紐約是去參加會議。

二、留意對話中的一問一答

長對話中，對話雙方往往出現多個一問一答，而這一恰恰是長對話的一個出題重點，對話後面問題往往就是對話原文中問題的照搬或是同義轉述，因此其答案就是對話中緊接問題之後的答語，而且一般不會有同音或近音詞的干擾，因此對於這類題目答案的基本原則就是"聽到什麼選什麼"。

【例2】

【預覽選項】

[A] Data collection.

[B] Training consultancy.

[C] Corporate management.

[D] Information processing.

【邊聽邊記】

W: What's your line of business, Mr. Johnson?

M: We are a training consultancy.

25. What is the man's line of business?

【答案解析】

選[B]。細節題。女士的提問即為本題的提問，答案就在男士接下來的回答中。女士問男士What'syour line of business(做哪一行)，男士回答説We are a training consultancy(我們是培訓諮詢公司),由此可知答案為[B]。

三、留意重複率較高的詞或短語

對話的主要內容理所當然會得到説話人的強調，而一個非常重要，也是非常明顯的強調方式就是重複，而且重複的詞語往往能夠揭示對話的主題。因此對那些對話雙方多次提到的詞語或內容應進行重點記憶。

【例3】

【預覽選項】

[A]The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.

[B]The fall of Karnak's capital city into the hands of the rebelforces.

[C]The epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.

[D]The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak.

【邊聽邊記】

W: We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring youlive up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country ofKarnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan ...

M: …, rebel forces launched the biggestoffensive against the ruling government in the 18-month conflict here in thiscountry.

M:…, rebel forces are also using heavyartillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city l forces are closing in, …

M: … this war-torn country …, but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.

is the news coverage mainly about?

【答案解析】

選[A]。主旨題。主旨題的答案往往在開頭或結尾，而本題的答案即出自開頭的第一句。選項中的latest(最新的)對應該句中的live up-to-date(最新直播)，armed rebellion(武裝叛亂)對應unrest(動亂)。另外，對話的主題往往會得到多次重複，因此根據後面多次出現的rebel forces, conflict, war等與"叛亂"相關的詞語，也可判斷本題答案為[A]。

四、留意選項中的要點內容

正確選項往往與原文相似，或是原文的同義表達，因此應注意提取選項中的關鍵點，在聽音時留意其是否在文中出現並加以記錄。

【例4】

【預覽選項】

[A] Inadequate medical care.

[B] Continuing social unrest.

[C] Lack of food, water and shelter.

[D] Rapid spreading of the epidemic

【邊聽邊記】

W: … what other pressing concerns are therefor the citizens of the city?

M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lackof clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstaclesfacing the citizens of this war-torn country.

25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?

【答案解析】

選[C]。細節題。四個選項中只有[C]項內容在對話中出現，其他三項均未涉及到，故只要抓住對話中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分內容，即可判斷答案為[C]。starvation意為"飢餓"。

五、留意數字、人名、地名、時間、年代等相關信息

遇到數字、人名、地名、時間、年代時要對相關信息做簡要記錄，尤其是選項中出現類似的概念時，在聽音時更應重點留意。

【例5】

【預覽選項】

[A] Late in the morning.

[B] Early in the afternoon.

[C] Sometime before dawn.

[D] Shortly after sunrise. 【邊聽邊記】

M: … Rebel forces are closing in, and it'sfeared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreakwhere, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.

24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?

【答案解析】

選[C]。細節題。根據原文中…it's feared that they will …before daybreak.可知，當時報道的時間應該是在beforedaybreak(黎明破曉前)。dawn相當於daybreak。

六、注意使用縮略語

記筆記一定要迅速，而要想在有限的時間內儘可能比較全面的記錄重點信息，使用一定的縮略語和熟悉的符號是十分必要的，主要有以下幾種方法：

1.利用數學符號。

如equal寫成"="; "≠"表示"unequal";"↑"代表increase/up; "←"表示resultfrom/because/since/for/as;"→"代表lead to/result in/has become/turn into;"↓"表示decrease/drop/dip/fall;"≈"代表about/almost;>表示more than;<表示 less than;" +"代表include/cover;"-"則是exclude等。

2.利用數字和其他固定符號。

能用數字或其他固定符號代表的詞全部用阿拉伯數字或符號，這樣既能節約時間，又能避免拼寫錯誤，如：twenty寫成 20; nineteen eighty four記作1984; $=dollar; ￡=pound; 11 in themorning=11 am; 11 in the evening=11 pm等。

3.創造自己的速寫符號。

在平時的訓練中也可以使用和創造一些符合自己習慣的縮略語和符號，如u可代表understand(ing); m可代表mean(ing); m=minute; s=second; h=hour; imp.=important/importance;nec.=necessary等。

短文理解部分的文章信息量大、題材範圍廣。從歷年的考試題目來看，短文理解部分考查過社會、生活、政治、歷史、文化、藝術等多種題材。由於很多短文文章邏輯結構複雜，生詞難句較多，所以很多考生都覺得這一部分很難駕馭。其實，如果考生注意分析和總結，這部分還是有很多規律和方法可循，如下所示：

① 重兩頭輕中間。西方人説話時喜歡單刀直入、開門見山，所以往往一篇文章的開頭就是全文的主題句，即便不是主題句，也會包含很多信息，理解這些信息有利於考生把握整篇文章。而結尾部分通常又是文章的總結句，概括和歸納了全文的中心。所以考生在聽這部分的錄音時，一定要抓住文章的開頭和結尾。

② 注意標誌性細節。聽力材料中出現的時間、數字、地點等信息以及表示原因和轉折關係的詞彙和句子經常是標誌性的出題點所在。所以，考生在聽的時候要特別留意這些細節，做好筆記。
