第三章 新四级考试听力解析
一、听力题型主要有以下几方面的变化,
首先,听力的分值比例由原来的 20%提升到 35%:
Section A部分由两种题型构成:短对话和长对话。短对话
部分由原来的 10题减至 8题,占分值的 8%;另外,新四级
还增加了两篇长对话,出题模式类似于现行托福考试中听力
Part B,每篇 3至 4题,共 7题,分值比例为 7%,; Section B
部分仍然为短文题,即我们俗称的段子题 (passage),共 3篇,
每篇 3到 4题,共 10题,分值比例 10%; Section C为复合式
听写:其中词汇听写由原来的 7个增加至 8个,句子听写仍
保持 3句不变,复合式听写部分总共占分值的 10%。总的来
说,题目的总量增加了,做题时间增长了,这样,无形中增
加了对同学在做题目时精力集中程度的考验。
cet-4 compound dictation 17
第三章 新四级考试听力解析
? 其次,就题型构成来说,Section A 部分的 8个小对话,通
常都是一男一女的对话。在做短对话题目的时候,仍然要
抓住关键词和场景这两个重要因素。通过捕捉题目中出现
的关键词,判断相关场景。同学们应该熟悉四级听力常考
的十大场景:学习场景、天气场景、医院场景、打工场景、
租房场景、娱乐场景、餐馆场景、选课场景、论文场景、
图书馆场景。英语是一种模式化的语言,在固定的场景中
其词汇和表达也相对比较固定,平时注意积累场景高频词
汇和习惯表达,在四级听力短对话部分可以做到未听先知
的状态。
cet-4 compound dictation 18
第三章 新四级考试听力解析
? 而 section A部分的长对话,可以说,就是小对话和短文的
有机结合。如果说一人一句的短对话涉及的只是一个
,点,,那么长对话涉及的就是一个, 面, 。短对话是把
长对话中的某个具体问答提炼了出来,而长对话就是把这
些问答融入到一段两个人聊天或者交谈当中,其中有寒暄,
有过渡,也有问答。而每每遇到问答的时候都是考官青睐
的考点,而且考试的重点往往落在答语上。这一点和短对
话中体现的原则不谋而合。长对话的出题方式和短文的考
察方法很类似,特别是与人物生平发展或者故事类的题目
很相似,即每一方面的内容只考察一道题目,而且通常情
况下,出题的顺序和文章的顺序是一致的。
cet-4 compound dictation 19
第三章 新四级考试听力解析
? 对于 section B的短文听力部分,一般同学都有这样的感觉,短对话
不管怎样也还能凭经验去蒙对几个,但是听力短文部分即使经过长期
练习,提高也并不明显,有时甚至觉得文章听懂了,做题时仍无从下
手。和短对话题型比较起来,听力短文部分信息量大,题材范围广,
从历年的考试题目来看,从生活、社会、政治到文化、历史、艺术都
考到过,而且这种题目的题型变化多,复杂句多。但是,如果我们注
意分析,短文听力还是有很多规律和方法可循。比如,听文章的时候
一定要抓住文章的开头和结尾。因为按西方人的习惯,他们喜欢单刀
直入,开门见山,所以往往一篇文章的开头就是主题句 (topic
sentence),即便不是,它也会包含很多的信息。另外,文中出现的时
间,数字,地点信息,原因和转折句也特别容易被考到。所以,听的
时候要特别留心这些地方,及时做好笔记。
cet-4 compound dictation 20
第三章 新四级考试听力解析
? 最后,我们来谈谈复合式听写。这种题目一般是一篇 200字左右的短
文,中间有十一个空,1-8空要求填入所听到的单词,通常是难一点,
长一点的四级词汇,而且一般都会是对实词的考察。 9-11空是三个长句
子,要求把听到的句子用自己的话写出来,只要意思接近,没有很大的
语法错误即可。从以往历年的考题来看,复合式听写文章的难度有相当
的增加,从 1998年 1月小故事类型的记叙文到 2001年 6月关于健康的说
明文,2003年 1月关于捕捞业的说明文,2004年 6月关于美国国会图书
馆的说明文以及 2005年关于照相机的说明文。而最新四级样题中的复合
式听写居然是一篇非常新近的关于俄罗斯进入世界贸易组织准备工作及
其协调过程的议论文式新闻体裁。可见复合式听写的内容和题材正在朝
着一个更加广泛的方向发展。这也对同学提出了更大的挑战。在做复合
式听写题目之前,首先要对全文进行全局性的预览,尤其是段落第一、
二句和最后一句。如果时间充裕,还可抓紧时间观察空格前后的一些特
殊现象,从中判断所填单词的词性、单复数、时态语态等等。听的时候
要注意精听速记,以听为主,以记为辅。比如:遇到一些冠词,助动词
时可先省略不记,又比如遇到一些较长的词组,可先记下每个单词的头
一个字母,或者是较长的单词只记前三个字母等。等到全部听完之后,
再利用一点时间进行检查:检查句子句法的完整性,单词的正确性等。
cet-4 compound dictation 21
二,新四级听力考试将会呈现出以下的出题趋势,
? 1、语音上由过去单纯的美音朗读变为现在的英音美音交替朗读;
? 2、语速较过去要快一些;
? 3、生活中一些常用的偏难的词汇开始多次出现,如 05年 12月考察到的
recruit,resume等;
? 4、小对话中的句子逐渐加长,增加了对长句的记忆以及对句子中关键
信息的捕捉能力;
? 5、不再是简单的细节对应,只要听清了能分辨出来就能答题,它变得
更注重于对语言交际能力的考察,许多时候需要你总结或者听出说话人的言
外之意;
? 6、更加侧重于与当今大学生生活密切相关的话题,比如 2002年 1月考
到与找工作有关的话题,2002年 6月连续两道题又是找工作的相关考题;
? 7,Section B的短文题型改掉了过去选材单一,题材以记叙文为主的特
点,而是转变为以较难的说明文为主要趋势,并且内容更加广泛,涉及到环
保、宇航、生物介绍等内容;
? 8、复合式听写体裁范围越来越广。
cet-4 compound dictation 22
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? 一、首先,关于复合式听写你必须明确的几点,
1,共十个空。占 10%的分数比例(新题型中分值为 10% × 710
= 71分)
2,前七空为单个单词填写,必须写下听到的准确形式,即听到
什么写什么。得分,每空 0.5分,共 3.5分。
3,后三空为句子填写。请注意,此时,你既可以听到什么写下
什么,也可以按照自己的话将要点写下来。后三空的分数设置为,2
分,2分和 2.5分。三句中最长的一句是 2.5分的句子。
4,从文体类型上看,97年为故事,98年为人物传记,01以后
全部为说明文,难度在增加。
5,从 2006年的 12月全面实施四级新题型之后,听写部分将永
恒出现在听力的最后一部分,占去 10%比例。
6,需要提醒,听写部分得满分的几率和写作得满分的几率一样
低。
cet-4 compound dictation 23
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? ( 一) 关于前七空,
前七空的单词的出题标准很简单,即能够听懂,但是很容易写错。
例如 97年的 typical被大部分人写成 tipical,describe被大部分人写成
discribe,2001年的 environmental,很多人会忘记写 n…… 总之,拼写
总能够让你把貌似简单的单词弄错。
破解之道:那些你总也背不会的,或者能够听懂,但总写错的单
词,请把它们单独记录在一个本子上,随时增加,随时复习,解决一
个是一个。
另外,前七空的单词也会涉及单复数、时态、语态等多种变化。
此类变化完全属于语法技巧,和听力基本脱钩,所以,建议考生一定
在填写单词时注意单词前方的词汇和语句信息,这样就能够避免低级
错误出现。
cet-4 compound dictation 24
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? ( 二) 关于后三空,
对于后三空,笔者强烈建议各位考生,请不要听到什么就写什么,
而按照考试要求的第二种方式,即按照自己的话把要点写下来进行填写。
纵观六次复合式听写,难度越来越大。事实上,除了 97年和 98年的
句子听写还能够勉强让少数同学做到听到什么就写什么,其余四次听写,
由于难度加大,此举只能够让你, 提前结束战斗, 。
如果不信,请看
? 2003年 1月听写第八句
When you consider that equal a quarter of the world catch,you begin to
see the size of the problem。
2004年 6月听写第九句,
The library provides books and materials to the US congress and
also lends books to other American libraries,government agencies and
foreign libraries,
cet-4 compound dictation 25
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? 如何按照自己的语言写下来呢?
? 两个方向:由长到短,由难到易。
就像当你在填写句子时听到 immediately这个词你会写成 at once,
听到 journey会写成 trip一样,句子的转变也是一个道理。即在保持句
子主要含义的情况下,长句子变短,难句子变易。
方式一:名次转代 即,将听到的复杂名次尽量向代词过渡以此
节省拼写时间,减少拼写错误。例如,Michael,直接变成 he,而
Alexander则可以为 she,若听到 Michael and Alexander,则变成 they,
复杂一些的,I used to study in that university,
可以变成,I studied there,
最典型的案例就是 98年 1月的第 8句,原句的后半句为,because
all of the equipments were too big for the then five-year old student,
按照此方式,句子瞬间简化成,Because the equipments were big
for him,(the then five-year old student 用 him代替 )
cet-4 compound dictation 26
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? 方式二:修饰从无,即,将句子中不影响句意的状语等修饰成分尽量
删减。
例如,the train is somewhat behind schedule可以改为,The
train is late.(somewhat就是明显不影响句意的修饰成分 )
方式三:句式转换,即,尽量将英文喜欢使用句子形式转化为中文长
见的句式。
例如 97年 6月的第 10句,the baby waited to arrive until we got to
the hospital.综合全文的意思,此句的含义是:直到我们到医院,孩
子才生下来。而按照国人的英语习惯,这句话明显可以写成,the
baby was born when we arrived,这样,对于 until句式的不熟悉感就
能够瞬间转化了。另外,英文十分喜欢使用被动句式,这和中文恰恰
相反,所以,被动句转为主动句,也会给考生带来一些便利。
cet-4 compound dictation 27
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
二、听写考试的具体实施步骤
( 1)利用间隙,浏览全文,积极预测。 听写题部分开头有一段较长的
Directions,其长度约为 150词左右,差不多等于听写短文本身。按每分钟
130- 150个词的语速朗读,大约需要 1分多一点的时间才能读完。而
Directions的内容考生在平进的训练中已经多次接触,非常熟悉,没有必
要再去细听慢读,应该有效地利用这一段宝贵的时间,通读全文,积极预
测文章的内容。因为听写部分(除复合式听写的第二部分外)卷面所提供
的文字信息往往比所要求填的信息多,利用这些已知的信息运河预测未知
的信息可以大大提高 填词的针对性。另外,所需填的词性和词意通过给
出的信息基本上可以确定下来。读完短文以后再听录音就可以确定究竟是
一个词、一个短语还是一个句子,这样能较好地把握听音的重点。
cet-4 compound dictation 28
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? ( 2)听第一遍录音进,大处着眼,小处着手,听第一遍录音时应尽
量放松,抓主要信息,中振奋意(大处着眼),将注意力集中在空格
部分,尢其注意听清或写下第一人词和最后一个词(小处着手)。否
则,就可能糊里糊涂地 一记录音溜过去而什么也没听清。要特别提
醒:听第一遍时不要手忙脚 乱、边听边记,或为了某一人睡词而造
成意识上的暂时停顿,破坏整句或整段的理解。
( 3)听第二遍录音时,留神停顿信号,注意意群和关键词语。 第二
遍在听懂的基础上,迅速记下怕听的内容。切永要把注意力放在单词
正确拼写上(如果一时想不起业),这一遍主要是抢速度,用简写等
方式或用图形、符号记录下内容就行。
cet-4 compound dictation 29
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? ( 4)听第三遍录音时,注意听没有听明白或没有记录下来的词或句。
如果都已记下,就重点检查、修正记录内容。
( 5)听音结束后,应根据上下文做全面的补充性检查,进一步核实句
子、结构、语法、单复数形式及拼写是否有错误。单词是否写正确往
往暗示你是否真正听懂了。写错了单词而且错误还比较多的话,很难
说你已听懂了。所以,平进应加强拼写练习。
( 6)提高记笔记的效率
首先,可使用缩略语。
其次,由于, 复合式听写, 第二部分朗读时没有停顿,即使使甩
缩略语也难记下全文,因此考生应有选择地记笔记。
另外,因为, 复合式听写, 第二部分只要求写出内容要点,这样
考生应重点记下句中的中心词。
cet-4 compound dictation 30
第四章 新四级考试复合式听写解题技巧
? 听写是一种有效的综合性测试,可以考查学生词汇量、拼写、句
法、听力、理解、记笔记和一定的书面表达等多方面的要素和技能,
研究人员发现听写成绩与许多其它技能的相关系数很高。笔者深信全
面打好语言基本功是提高听写能力的重要途径,但听写训练具有自身
的科学性和技巧性,多练加巧练则定可取得事半功倍的成效。
