大学英语四级听力辅导资料
I. 大学英语四级听力短对话理解
(2003-2009年真题统计)
短对话长度:17-53个词
题型分类: 1.细节题 近27%
2.推断题 近73%
对话场景:日常生活、校园生活、职场工作、住房搬迁、饮食健康、气候环境和
旅游交通等。
重点内容:言外之意
提问方式:What can we learn about the woman/John…from the conversation?
What does the man mean/imply?
What does the woman suggest the man do?
常考句式类型
类型一:部分考
例题:
W:How did your interview go?
M:I couldn't feel better about it! The questions were very fair and I
seemed to find answers for all of them.
Q:How does the man feel about the interview?
类型二:转折:But句式。(第二人的答语中,but是考点)
例题:
A:Is the rescue crew still looking for survivals of the plane crash?
B:Yes, they have been searching the area for hours, but they haven't
found anybody else. They'll keep searching until night falls.
Q:What do we learn from this conversation?
此题答案应为:
- 1 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
No more survivors have been found.
类型三:建议句式。(关键句型引出考点)
例题:
M:This machine has so many buttons. I can't figure out which one makes
it run.
W:You'd better read the instructions first. Pressing the buttons randomly
may cause the machine to break down.
Q:According to the woman, what should the man do first?
A. Read the instructions first.
分析:这种题型数量虽多,但是句型相对固定。熟悉以下三类句型就会做到事半功倍,特别是在语速快的情况下,更要把握住下列句型后出现的句子,那里常常是考查点,多是建议功能。
第一类:固定句式。how about, what about, what if, you'd better,
why not, why
第二类:反问句。 Wouldn't it ? Hadn't you ? Can't
?
第三类:一般疑问句。Have ? be better?
类型四:If I were you句式。(建议或虚拟)
例题:
M:I hope I won't sleep over. I've simply got to catch the first flight to New
York.
W:If I were you, I'd request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.
Q:What does the woman advise the man to do?
- 2 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
If I were you引导的句子为考核中心,其隐含着提建议或表虚拟的意思。另外If only(要是„„就好了)也有异曲同工之妙。
再如:
M:Hey, I heard you bought a parrot.
W:That's right. Now if I could only get it to talk.
Q:What does the woman want to do?
A. Teach the parrot to talk.
类型五:"明确肯定"句式。(答语肯定语气明显)
例题:
M:You are looking a little overwhelmed.
W:Exactly. You know, I've got millions of things to do, and all of them
have to be finished within 3hours.
Q:What does the woman mean?
分析:M往往是肯定句,W是以一个短词开头(同意还是不同意M的观点一听便知),W中的长句起着介绍说明的作用。答案的特点就是找与M的话意思相近,但表述不同的句子。如例题M中You are looking a little
overwhelmed.的不同表述就是答案:She's been kept extremely busy.在交际中,对前一句起着确认作用的短句有:
you are right,all right,I know,that's right,sure, To me it was, certainly
类型六:"鼓励安慰对方"句式(态度真诚)
例题:
M:Though we didn't win the game , we were satisfied with our
performance.
W:You did a good job,you almost beat the world champions.
Q:What do we learn from this conversation?
- 3 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
A. They both feel good about the results of the game.
分析:第一个人的话里表达了不太如意的一面,常带有否定词,而第二个人的话多以鼓励或劝慰的小短句开头。
如:Don't worry;
I have the same feeling with you;
Take it easy;
It's OK!
Don't be upset!
I know you can do it;
Come on!It doesn't matter;
Don't blame yourself!
You deserve it!
这些短语蕴含的言外之意就是“别紧张、别急”,我们对你有信心。后面还伴有相应的长句,往往起补充说明的作用,所以答案里面一定会出现表示肯定意义的词汇。
类型七:口语小短句(不懂真要命)
例题:
M:Er,it looks like I'm going to be a little late for class. I hope Prof. Clark
doesn't start on time today.
W:Are you kidding ? You can set your watch by the time he starts his
class.
Q:What can we infer about Prof. Clark?
分析:第一个人的话不难,第二个人的话越听越糊涂。如果把握住小短句的言外之意就不怕了。Are you kidding? 意味着对第一个人的话语进行否- 4 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
定,例题中也就是说Prof. Clark will not be late,答案He is always punctual
for his class.就是正确选项。
与之相反,you can say that again; you bet I am; you said it; isn't it
though?(可不是嘛!);of course,等小短句的背后,多半是表示对前一句的肯定。这些技巧的掌握,有利于解决长难句的听力问题。
类型八:比较和顺序句式(一锤定音)
例题一:
W:I thought Tom said he got A in all his tests.
M:Mary, you should know better than to take Tom's words too seriously.
Q:What are they talking about?
例题二:
M:You know, the Browns have invested all their money in stocks.
W:They may think that's a wise move, but that's the last thing I'd do.
Q:What's the man's opinion about the Browns' investment?
正确答案是:He doesn't think the Browns' investment is a wise move.
类型九:重复反问句式
例题:
M:Can't we slow down? I'm tired.
W:Slow down? Don't you realized how late we are going to be?
Q:What does the woman mean?
类型十:"所答非所问"句式(跟你绕个小圈子)
例题
- 5 -
A. They aren't going to be on time.
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
W:I just made a jar of jam this morning and now I can't find it anywhere.
M:Did you hear a crash? That was it. I'm just as clumsy as ever.
Q:What is the problem?
以上是近年来,出现频率较高的言外之意题型。通过对上述十种类型的分析,相信同学们心里大概也有了一定的了解。再附上两条应对此类听力题的建议,仅供参考:
第一,由于弦外之音的判断十分复杂,平时在复习时要做到精听,就是要大家能准确听出个别词的读音及词义,不懂的地方要一遍一遍地听,直到听懂为止。这样有助于大家发现个体差异(连读问题?还是个别词不熟悉?词组没听出来?俚语不懂?),然后对症下药。简单的泛听,只能是培养语流和语调,难免有囫囵吞枣之嫌。
第二,听力考试中要集中精力,一旦有个别词没听懂,不要费时去猜,要尽可能结合场景和语气,做到对整体的把握。

III.短文理解(Passage)
一、题型特点
短文理解,每次考试会出现三篇短文(每篇180-300词),共10个问题。每篇只读一遍。相比对话部分,短文信息量大、篇幅长、句子复杂。
内容涉及广泛,如:故事、传记、讲座、解说、新闻报道等。题材多为文化、教育、交通、能源和生活常识等。
◆考题常设处多为:开头结尾处、因果处、并列和列举处、转折处、提出建议的地方、引用机构或人物观点处。
1.主旨题
A.选项多以短语形式出现
B.考查对首尾句的理解
C.关键词的重复
D.提问方式
What is the passage mainly about?
what is the main idea/subject of this passage?
What does the passage mainly talk about?
What do we learn from this passage?
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
技巧
★浏览选项,预测短文的主题、重要信息点
★关注首尾句(通常为短文的主题句)
★整体把握文章结构
- 19 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
★学会排除干扰项(信息过于片面、范畴太大、信息未提到)
2.事实细节
A.问题常以wh-问句形式出现(具体时间、地点、人物、事件、数字)
B.答案都可在文中找到(但并不一定是文章原句,通常是近义词)
C.对原因考查较多,其次是对事情的判断
D.提问方式灵活
Where..
When
What is true of„?
Why is„ done?
What is the most important„?
What is „going to do?
which of the following is (not) true/mentioned?
技巧:
★提前浏览选项,注意听与选项有关的内容
★边听边记(时间、地点、数字、人物等)
★多关注因果关系的地方(because,since,for,hence,therefore,as a
result, consequently出现的地方)
3.推断题
此类题较难,考生要对所听内容进行分析、推理,领悟说话人态度、感情和真实意图(隐含意义)
A.试题常涉及人物、事物之间的逻辑关系
- 20 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
B.重点考查对说话人的观点、态度、语气的理解
C.无法从文章中找到答案,必须运用逻辑推理的方法得出结论
D.常用提问方式
what can you infer/conclude from the passage?
What is the speaker most concerned about?
What do we learn about„ from the passage?
What’s the speaker’s impression of„?
What does the speaker say about„?
技巧:
★多关注短文中出现的转折、因果、条件、比较等语意关系
★善于听出弦外之音,句子的内在含义
小结:
短文理解的题型的特点是词汇量大、信息量大。每个段落的十几句话中往往真正能听懂并记住的句子不到一半,绝大多数人只能抓住段落大意但无法处理其中的重要细节。段落题的选项多为四个完整的句子,正确选项往往是原文中提到的一句重要陈述,只听大意而忽视细节必然导致在四个选项面前无从下手,真伪不分。
二、应对策略:
A.增加词汇量
段落题训练时首先要及时发现自己的不足,如对单词不熟悉、适应不了语速以及注意力不够集中等。如果感觉很多句子听不懂,尤其是录音放过几遍后还是不懂,则准备要从单词人手。在两三个星期内把四级词汇攻下来。脑子里储备了足够的单词,理解的程度就会大大提高。
B.加强句子听写
- 21 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
如果听到的单词都会,只是听不懂句子的整体意义,则需要从微观的角度进行强化。自己在放磁带时一句一句跟读,必要时按暂停键进行口头翻译,经过一段时间练习,理解句子的能力也能提高。
C.通过选项确定关键句和关键信息
段落理解中最关键的任务并不是把段子全部听懂,而是要学会确定关键句和关键信息。凡是在选项中重复到的句子都应当做标记,视为解题关键信息。段落题由于内容庞杂,信息量较大,很少要求考生做进一步推理,而是侧重信息收集能力,所以每个段落的三到四个题围绕着Speaker所提到的原句展开提问。如果不学会通过选项把握原句,理解能力再强也无法解题。另外,测试题目顺序是严格按照段落的前—中—后顺序设计的,听录音时可以边听边用眼睛扫描选项,依次进行。测试可能性最大的是第一句、第二句和最后一句,前两句话中包含着段落中心句,是段落的最重要内容。最后一句话往往涉及结果、解决方法等重要信息。此外,考官还会根据段落中的一个重要情节、概念或因果关系设置一到两个题。
三、短文类型:
叙事型段落(Narrative):选项中如有明确的时间、人物动作行为则可断定该题为叙事型段落。一方面通过每个题目选项的共同点估测可能提问的内容,还要积极记笔记。故事的因果、时间关系较强,把握情节并不难。但特别要注意时间、地点、主要人物及对应行为、人物行为原因、目的和故事结局。
说明型段落(Descriptive):说明文涉及科学技术、交通运输、地理景观、环境污染、学校教育、妇女解放、自然现象等内容,选项中没有人物动作行为,所考查内容围绕着某些事实陈述展开。听录音时很难记住原话,这就更要求学生盯紧选项,以免出现细节列举时间哪一个信息没有提到或者不正确。除此之外,重要的说明数字、术语概念、时间范围要记笔记,要直接从段落中听出一些重要的因果关系句,确定原因,并查找对应出现的选项。
议论及讲座(Expositive):四级听力中较难的一种段落。Speaker经常是大学讲师或某个学科的专家就一个概念、现象或概况进行描述。因涉及某些专业或科技知识使词汇有可能超纲但并不影响做题。更为重要的是讲话- 22 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
人的观点和讲座主题(topic)不好把握。学生要在段落的前三句话中识别讲座人身分和讲座主题。往往段落开始就会提到
“I’m the head librarian. Today I’m going to introduce to you the facilities
in the library and show you how to use them.”
在介绍自己观点时Speaker会用到“In my opinion”或“I think it’s true
that…”.
新闻报道(News story):听新闻时,Speaker会先提到“This
is…presenting the B.B.C. world news”、或等,或者开门见山,用一句话来概括整个新闻内容。例如:“The suspect in a robbery of the First
National Bank in Orlando, Florida was captured in a local barber
shop on Wednesday.”在一句话中时间、地点、人物、原因、结果都做了详细交代。所以新闻的第一句没把握住就等于漏掉了主要信息,能不能从后面的内容中得到弥补只能靠运气。

IV. 在实战中复合式听写需要注意的三方面
怎样应试好听写部分呢?除了多听、多读、多练之外,还应注意以下三种应试技巧:
一、理解好题意,做到心中有数
在听写考试中,不少考生由于过度紧张而忽视了题意,所以本应该相对容易的题却没有很好的拿到分数。Compound Dictation的要求是在36-43空应填single word;在44-46上则要求use your own words to finish
the sentence.有的考生在做单词填空时,由于没弄懂题意,只想着全部听写下来,结果感到速度太快,记不下来,而丢掉容易且应该得到的分数。听写部分意思虽然理解了,也没能用自己的话表达,也白白地丢掉了好几分。
二、抢用短文,预测听写内容
- 23 -
大学英语四级听力辅导资料
听写的短文一般在200-250字左右,共重复三遍。考生可利用听指令前的空隙,略看一下短文,做到“有的放矢”,提前有所准备,这样就不会措手不及,心慌意乱,影响正常水平的发挥了。
三、使用速记方法,从文中找出答案
学生们在听写时,往往会出现记下了听写的第一单词,而后面的几句后匆匆而过,来不及填写第二个空, 针对这个问题,大家在考试中应采用速记方法,迅速记下每个听到的单词。所说的速记就是用一些简单的符号。缩写、字母记下所听到的内容,不让每个单词漏网。
例如:so—equal pro--professional
t--teacher dtec--detective
sts-students, fridge--refrigerator
ad--advertisement demo--demonstration
flu--influenza 等等。
先速记,然后再展开这些单词,这样所听的内容就不易漏掉了。此外,学生还会出现另一种现象,就是听懂了词意,不会写单词。遇到这样的问题,我们不妨从上下文找一找,看看是否有帮助提示的地方。
总之,听力技巧的掌握以考生综合英语水平为基础,考生首先要具备较强的英语的耳听意会能力,对比较简单的概念最好能直接用英语进行思维,做到不用译成汉语也能理解听到的内容;同时应具备较强的英语快速阅读能力,才能迅速记下所听到的内容,在听力、听写测试中取得满意的成绩,顺利地通过大学英语四级考试。
