四级短文听力的提问方式及解题对策

2.1 四级短文听力的提问方式及解题对策

短文听力的提问方式有最常见的有以下4种类型。

1.中心思想题。这类问题主要是测试文章的主题思想。

提问方式有:

What is the main idea of the passage? What can we learn from this passage? W hat is the best title for this passage? What is the passage mainly about? What is t he speaker talking about?等等。

做这一类题时一定要注意集中精力听好短文的开头,因为四级听力短文一般会开门见山,把中心思想置于文章的开头。另外,如果文中反复出现同一词汇或同一类词汇,同样也值得我们特别注意,因为包含有这类词汇的选项能较好地体现中心思想,通常就是正确答案。

2.事实细节题。所考察的细节包括具体时间、地点、主要人物或事件、各种数字等,问题一般为wh-question的形式。

这类题要求我们听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感,及时做好笔记;另外,文中一旦出现以因果连词(如because, so, due to等)和转折连词(如but, however, though等)引导的句子也要格外留心,这些地方往往就是考点。

3.对错判断题。这类题常用以下提问方式:

Which of the following is true/not true, according to the passage? Which of the fo llowing is not mentioned?等等。听到这类题时,一定要听清提问,对于有没有not一词要弄清楚。一般情况下,not一词会重读。

4.推理推测题。这类题需要对文中的信息进行分析推断,才能作出正确的选择。提问方式有:

What can be infer from the passage? What does the speaker think about the pro blem...? What does the speaker most concerned about? How does the writer feel about...?等等。

做这类题时一定要注意与短文内容一样的不是推断,而且一定要根据短文的观点而不是根据自己的观点来推断

四级考试听力技巧(3)

四级考试听力技巧(3) 3、几种常见的解题方法 A节中的对话虽然简短,但多数情况下,往往不能从听到的内容中找到与选择项内容完全相同的部分,即对话中一般没有现成的答案。因此,在听的时候要注意抓住选择项的同义或反义词(组)用辨别法答题(解活动类多用此方法),或根据对话内容采用归纳、推论或辨别的方法回答。用这种方法答题,类型不仅仅限于诸如"what does the man mean?"这样的题目,其它如含蓄人物类、人物身份类、含蓄地点类、否定类题目也与此类似。如:W: How do you like the play you saw last night? M: Well, I should have stayed at home. Q: What does the man think of the play? A) It is exciting. B) It is boring. C) He didn't see the play. D) He like it very much. 对话中"I should have stayed at home."(我真该待在家里),这句话已婉转地表明他不喜欢这出戏,而对没有待在家里表示遗憾、后悔(should have done something这种结构可用来表示"对应该发生而实际上没有发生的事情表示遗憾、后悔或谴责)。能使他产生此感想的原因自然是"The play is boring."(演出令人厌烦),因而B是正确的答案。否定类题目多含有虚拟语气、语气否定、暗示比喻、强化意见等形式。这一节属于此数字类题目的对话中,多出现两处,甚至三、四处数字或时间,因此,除了用辨别方法外,有时必须用计算方法才能得出正确答案。 II、B节(Section B) B节通常有三篇听力材料。其中较短的约150词,较长的约200词。材料本身难度不算太大,关键在于能否听懂大意、抓住要点、记住主要情节。短文后面的问题大都是特殊疑问句。问题多问关于短文的主题、有关讲话人的情况、事实与细节、事情的因与果等,有时要求根据短文的内容作出其它推论。 大体说来,B节的题目比较客观、直接。这是因为B节的题目涉及的多是具体事实(问暗含意义或要求推论的题目很少),并且答案常常可以从听力材料中直接获得。对于这类题目,只要听懂短文,选出正确答案是轻而易举的。能否顺利完成B节的试题,主要取决于能否在一系列语句中抓住答题所需的那些关键词句。 (二)如何阅读选择项 因为听力理解的问题不是以书面形式出现在卷面上,而是在讲话内容之后才出现,所以,我们必须抓住空隙时间抢先阅读选择项。这样便可以根据选择项的内容预测谈话或短文的内容和提问形式,提前了解谈话或短文中可能出现的单词或词组。只有这样,在听音时才能有目的地听、有选择地记。 对待选择项应采取快速阅读的方法。在听音前看选择项主要应用略读技巧。一定要避免逐词阅读,否则就不可能在听音前看完选择项。选择项的长短、简繁不一,具体处理方法也要有所不同。 选择项都比较短时,可采用扫视法。用眼光扫过选择项,大体了解其内容。 当选择项较长时(B节的选择项往往较长),可分两步处理。第一步,整体看,以发现其共同成分;第二步,采用竖读方法,着重看区别。选择项(尤其是较长的选择项)各项之间往往有相同的内容。应先整体扫视选择项,很快发现其共同处,然后将视线移到各项不同之处进行竖读(即由上向下看,而不是由左向右看)。 用这样的方法看选择项,开始可能会感到不习惯,因而影响阅读速度。但经过一段时间的练习,便会习惯。掌握这种技巧,不仅能加快阅读速度,使我们能在较短的时间看完较长

处。 这一题型主要考查考生区分论点、论据,把握论点论据一致性的能力。要求考生根据文章内容,从多个选项中找出最能支持相应论点的论据,或者要求考生根据文章的`内容,找出最能概括文章内容的论点。 2、了解新题型文章的两种模式 英语四级文章模式1、三段论: 是说明文议论文的共同全文结构模式。虽然表现形式有所差异,但主体板块分为三部分。 A. 说明文的基本模式是:引言(用事例、试验等引出问题),分析(分析原因;实验过程等),结论(建议、解决方案)。说明文阐述事物的原理、起因和可能的后果。 B. 议论文行文规则为:提出论点(常以事例引出),提出论据并论证论点,得出结论。其最终目的是说服读者接受某观点。议论文要用逻辑和论据来影响别人的看法或行动。 在考查过的文章中,无论是说明文还是议论文,都经常是一样的过程: 1)、引出要讨论的问题或现象(常以具体事例引出话题或论点)。 2015年大学英语四级答题技巧2015年大学英语四级答题技巧 2)、然后展开分析过程或讨论其原因, 3)、最后得出结论、提建议或解决方案。 英语四级文章模式2、总分法: 是说明文和议论文在段落的拓展模式的共性。多数情况下段落首句是本段主题句。偶尔会有第二句或段尾句,比如说有的文章第一段的段首会先举例子,

大学英语四级答题技巧汇总

大学英语四级答题技巧汇总 快速阅读技巧(第一篇) 15分钟做完,先看小标题(先只看2-3个,多了也记不住),再通过1-7小题的题干的名词、动词找出原句来做, 特别注意: 做题顺序,先看文章标题,直到文章主要内容,然后看第一小题,在小题部分的定位词先圈出来,再回原文找。找到第一小题后,再看第二小题。看一个题,做一个;不要把文章看完再做题,或题看完再读文章。 特别注意:比较容易定位的词是: A.不能用中心思想词定位,因为整篇文章都说的是它。 B.时间、数字、地点、大写字母的单词容易定位。 C.比较长,难的名词容易定位,好找。 D.定位词找2-3个就行,多了也记不住。最好是位置不同的两个词。 一般判断N和NG的标准如下: NO题: (l)信息与原文相反(2)将原文信息张冠李戴 (3)将原文中不确定的或未经证实的内容作为正确的或客观的来表述 (4)改变原文的条件、范围、频率、可能性等 NG题: (l)无中生有(2)以个别代替整体,即将原文所举例子的特殊现象推广为普遍现象 (3)随意比较原文中提到的两个事物(4)将原文具体化,即题目中涉及的范围小于原文涉及的范围 (5)原文中作者或某个人物的目标、目的、愿望、誓言等内容,在题目中作为客观事实陈述 快速阅读技巧(第二篇) 解决办法:掌握正确的阅读方法 考生平时阅读一般会采取两种阅读方法。一种是先看文章后看问题;另一种是先看问题,带着问题读文章。那么究竟哪一种方法比较好呢?笔者认为还是先看问题后读文章比较好。原因在于,先看问题,你可以熟悉出题人的出题角度。并且有题干,你可以划出题干的关键词,先看问题后刊文章的好处就在于,可以通过问题先把上述“核心词”在原文中划出,然后再读文章的过程中,一旦独到,注意历史高度集中的,这样有助于提高做题的准确性。由此得出正确的阅读方法就是“五步阅读法”: 第一步,扫描题干抓关键。 即首先看选项,划出题干中的的关键词。题干关键词包括:数字、人名地名、专有名词、引号里的词语等等。 第二步,快速浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意标重点。 即快速浏览文章。在快速浏览文章的时候,不需要每一个单词和句子都读得懂,没有时间也没有这个必要。在第二步的过程中,考生们所要做的就是首先弄清楚这篇文章的中心思想是什么;其次,用笔在试卷上面标记出考试要考的重点。那么很多考生就会问,如何把握文章的主旨大意,如何标记文章的重点呢? 首先,把握文章的主旨大意。 要解决这个问题,需要分两步走。第一步,仔细阅读文章的首末段的首末句。因为英语文章段落结构上面我已经讲过。此外,西方人说话向来喜欢开门见山。所以英语文章段落70%都是一上来交待作者的写作目的或意图。第二步,要仔细阅读其他个段落的首句。然后把这两步综合起来,英语文章的主旨大意就可以把握住。其次,如何标注文章的重点。 英语文章的重点主要有以下几点:

英语四级短文听力技巧.doc

英语四级短文听力技巧 短文听力是四级听力考试中较难的一种题型,考生需要较高的听力理解能力。英语的听、说、读、写、译五个方面密不可分,听力能力的训练应和其他几个方面的训练结合起来进行。 一、命题特点 四级考试短文听力的命题特点主要包括: 1. 形似阅读理解,难度相差悬殊。听力短文在形式上与阅读理解基本相同,都是根据材料所包含的信息回答后面提出的问题,但听力短文材料的难度比阅读理解小得多,只相当于一般的口语材料。因此考生完全没有必要被其外在形式吓倒。 2. 短文播放时间固定,但有弹性时间可利用。虽然短文播放的时间及回答问题的时间是固定的,但播放听力录音之前有大约90秒的试音时间,且在播放短文之前要播放本题的指令部分(directions),这些时间都是可以利用的。 3. 短文体裁较为固定,为做出正确判断提供了语境依据。听力短文多为说明文或叙述性小故事,材料较为通俗易懂,这使提前根据所给选项推断材料内容成为可能。 4. 选项已知,可作为推断短文内容的依据。虽然材料的内容只播放一遍,但每小题的选项是提前给定的,考生可以根据选项所提供的信息,利用前面提到的弹性时间进行推断,为充分获取短文信息创造更加有利的条件。 5. 各小题类型相对固定,有助于总结答题规律。多年来听力短文的试题类型是相对固定的,主要包括细节题、推断题、态度题、数字题、主旨题等。这给我们正确解题提供了启发和思路。 二、应试技巧 结合听力短文的命题特点,我们可总结出如下解题步骤: 首先,浏览已知选项,推断问题的内容和短文大意。在播放短文之前,我们可以利用弹性时间浏览各小题选项,推断短文的体裁和大致内容,为播放短文时充分获取信息做准备。另外,也可据此推断问题的类型甚至内容以便听录音时更有针对性。 其次,手眼脑并用,记录关键信息。播放短文录音期间要听记兼顾,以听为主。一篇短文就是一个信息群,完全靠大脑记忆所有的信息往往是很困难的。因此我们应该把获取的主要信息有选择性地记录下来,特别是有关细节,为做出正确选择做准备。需要特别注意的是这时"听"应该是第一位的,千万不要因为记录前面的信息而漏听后面的信息。 再次,针对不同题型采取相应的解题技巧。在播放问题时,考生要综合利用各种解题技巧做出正确选择。

大学英语四级做题技巧(最新)

首先我做题的顺序是: 1.听力 2.作文 3.选词填空 4.翻译 5.阅读理解(为什么这个要比6先做呢,因为这个题的分数比较高,而且多花点时间的正确率要高点,所以这个题先多花点时间来提高分数,对于6再用技巧快速解决,实在没有时间了还可以乱选) 6.段落大意选择 我先说一下总的方案。我重点强调一下,对于每套真题,不管什么题型,做完了都要把不认识的单词查出来写在卷子上,没事的时候就要去记忆,有很多次是反复出现的。技巧不是有了就能过四级的,还要靠你的一些努力。后面我会说给大家列举些词汇,还有我后面让你们记下来的词,不是记下来就好了,是要记忆的。 所谓技巧嘛,就是尽力让你花最少的功夫过四级! 1、听力 (1)使用具有增加信息接受方注意力功能的词汇,例如most, only, just, particularly, really, new, free, famous, strange , unusual, surprise, shocked, always , each, ever, every, little, few, any, nothing, full of, complete, throughout, all, almost, nearly, total, i mportant, must, stress, note, notice, range, insist, add , laugh, desperation, horror, fear, disaster, ke y, minimum等等; (2)使用特殊结构及句式,例如比较级、最高级、as…as结构、not so…as结构、different from、similar to、强调结构、否定结构、感叹句、if丛句、完成进行时态、as…as possible、make it clear that、you can imagine that、don’t forget that等结构; (3)含有数字、时间及相关词汇的句子,例如first(start, pioneer), second, millions of, figure, many,one day, years ago, today等等; (4)重复和自问自答; (5)引用:语气语调一般会有明显的变化。 因果原则: 含有表示因果关系的词汇的句子,命题的可能性很大,这些词汇包括because, why, reason, so, as a result, as a sign of, thanks to, therefore, due to等等。 转折原则: 含有表示转折关系的词汇的句子,命题的可能性很大,这些词汇包括but, however, whereas, otherwise, unfortunately, yet等等。 前8个题一般听到什么就不要去选他,这个8个题要靠推测,这8个题你用几天练习一下,很简单,应该就会对个5、6个。 把握关键词和关键句。在听录音的过程中,考生要注意把握一些关键词和关键句。首先要注意听表示转折关系的词汇,例如but、however、unfortunately、unexpectedly、to tell the truth 等。其次也要注意听关键句。在对话题中,往往会有一些表示建议或劝告的句子,例如“Why…?”“Why…not…?”“Why don’t you/we…?”“It would be better to do...”“Wouldn’t it be better to do…?”很多答案都是在这些词出现的
