大學(xué)英語六級(jí)長對(duì)話聽力得分技巧分享
對(duì)于大學(xué)英語六級(jí)的考試,我相信很多同學(xué)對(duì)于長對(duì)話都是又怕又討厭的,但沒辦法,有時(shí)候既然我們繞不過它,那我們就打敗它。今天小編為同學(xué)們帶來關(guān)于六級(jí)長對(duì)話的聽力技巧,希望可以幫助到同學(xué)們。
長對(duì)話
本部分共包含兩篇對(duì)話,每篇對(duì)話的長度在250~300詞之間,對(duì)話后有8道多項(xiàng)選擇題,要求考生在聽到問題后從所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出一個(gè)最佳答案。從題型上看,每篇對(duì)話中可能有一個(gè)考查對(duì)話主題的試題,其余為具體細(xì)節(jié)的試題,并且問題和選項(xiàng)大部分都經(jīng)過同義轉(zhuǎn)述,即沒有直接使用原對(duì)話中的句子,因此這部分試題有一定的難度。從內(nèi)容上看,一般涉及社會(huì)生活、校園生活、工作商務(wù)等方面,對(duì)話中的語言有些具有專業(yè)性,不是普通的口語詞匯。
3大??紙?chǎng)景
1. 社會(huì)生活
社會(huì)生活類題材一般是圍繞某個(gè)與社會(huì)生活有關(guān)的話題來展開,一般涉及的情景包括購物、休閑、家庭生活、時(shí)尚和社會(huì)熱點(diǎn)等。
2. 校園生活
校園生活指發(fā)生在校園內(nèi)的一些話題,題材與學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)和生活密切相關(guān)。它涉及專業(yè)的選擇、課程與教學(xué)情況、宿舍的管理、作業(yè)或論文、假期安排、學(xué)生中普遍存在的現(xiàn)象、師生對(duì)話或是學(xué)習(xí)中出現(xiàn)的問題等內(nèi)容。
3. 工作商務(wù)
工作商務(wù)類題材主要涉及求職招聘、面試以及工作安排變更或工作中出現(xiàn)的問題等內(nèi)容。而一般在聽力考試中工作商務(wù)類題材的情景設(shè)置多以招聘、面試、工作安排、工作交流以及商務(wù)談判為主。
5大設(shè)題點(diǎn)
開頭處設(shè)題
如果將長對(duì)話比作一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭,那么開頭處歷來是兵家必爭之地。并且長對(duì)話開頭部分一般會(huì)涉及談話主題。
例1: What is the woman doing?
A) Having her bicycle repaired. C) Lecturing on business management.
B) Conducting a market survey. D) Hosting an evening TV program.
原文: W: Good evening, and welcome to this week’s Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established a bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?
答案: D)。對(duì)話開始,女士說歡迎大家來到本周的“商業(yè)世界”,并介紹說這是一個(gè)面向商業(yè)人士的節(jié)目。由此可知,女士在主持節(jié)目,故答案為D)。
干擾信息處設(shè)題
這種出題思路不難理解,長對(duì)話內(nèi)容多,信息量大,每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都可能成為出題的地方。這類題目的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)如果不仔細(xì)區(qū)分很容易混淆。因此解答這類題目時(shí),要充分預(yù)覽所給選項(xiàng),并在聽音時(shí)適當(dāng)做筆記。
例2: What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?
A) It has gradually given way to service industry.
B) It remains a major part of industrial activity.
C) It accounts for 80 percent of the region’s GDP.
D) It has a history as long as paper processing.
原文:W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.
M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?
W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant. But steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity, so it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?
M: Yes, thanks.
答案: B)。對(duì)話中女士在介紹本地區(qū)與鋼鐵相關(guān)的制造業(yè)時(shí)提到,這一產(chǎn)業(yè)現(xiàn)在占工業(yè)活動(dòng)的44%,雖然地位有所下降,但仍然非常重要,換句話說,它仍然是該地區(qū)工業(yè)活動(dòng)的重要組成部分,故答案為B)。
信息集中處設(shè)題
談話雙方交談最熱烈的地方往往也是設(shè)題的熱點(diǎn)所在,并且因?yàn)槠湫畔⑤^集中,往往會(huì)多次設(shè)題。因此就要注意,除做好聽音前的預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)、聽音時(shí)的適當(dāng)筆記外,還需要對(duì)整個(gè)對(duì)話內(nèi)容有較好的把握,在細(xì)節(jié)信息集中的地方認(rèn)真聆聽。
例3: What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?
A) It is something inevitable. C) It takes patience to manage.
B) It is frustrating sometimes. D) It can be a good thing.
原文: W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high-stress factor?
M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used in the right way, it can actually be a positive thing.
答案: D)。問題中的關(guān)鍵信息提示詞是 element of stress,男士說他覺得壓力的確很大,甚至想過不干了,但他同時(shí)認(rèn)為有壓力是個(gè)好事情,如果能夠正確對(duì)待壓力,把壓力處理好,還可以對(duì)工作有積極的作用。因此,D)為答案。
對(duì)整個(gè)對(duì)話的理解設(shè)題
主要考查對(duì)長對(duì)話的整體理解。通常提問談話人主要交談了什么內(nèi)容,或某一方的觀點(diǎn)、態(tài)度或行動(dòng)。這類題解題的根據(jù)主要有四點(diǎn):一是根據(jù)對(duì)話的開頭判斷該對(duì)話的主要內(nèi)容;二是根據(jù)對(duì)話的結(jié)尾判斷對(duì)話的主題;三是根據(jù)對(duì)話中多次出現(xiàn)的主要信息做合理的判斷;四是通過預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行合理的推理排除。
例4: What problem are the speakers discussing?
A) The man has sent the order to the woman by mistake.
B) Some of the telephone systems don’t work properly.
C) Some of the packs do not contain any manuals.
D) The quality of the goods is not up to the standard.
原文: W: What can I do for you?
M: Well, unfortunately, there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday. It seems we’ve not received the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system.
W: Oh, dear, that’s bad news. I’m very sorry to hear that, and you don’t know how many packs are without manuals?
M: No, because we haven’t opened every pack. But in several of those that have been opened there are none. No manuals.
答案: C)。本題的關(guān)鍵詞是 manual,出現(xiàn)的問題并非在于產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量,而是缺少使用手冊(cè),故C)為答案。
時(shí)間數(shù)字處設(shè)題
對(duì)話中出現(xiàn)年代、時(shí)間、價(jià)格等數(shù)字信息的地方,也經(jīng)常是長對(duì)話設(shè)題的重點(diǎn)。但要注意,一般都是考查與數(shù)字相關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)信息,而單純考查數(shù)字的題目并不常見。
例5: What does the woman say about her evening class?
A) It is scheduled on Thursday night. C) It takes place once a week.
B) It is supposed to last nine weeks. D) It usually starts at six.
原文: M: Can I ask you about your evening class? What class do you go to?
W: Car maintenance.
M: What night of the week is it on?
W: Wednesday night.
M: And how long does it last?
W: Well, it’s supposed to start at 6:00, but that’s a bit of problem because people have difficulty getting through the traffic. So we start at 6:30 and then it goes on until 9 o’clock.
答案: C)。男士希望了解女士夜校課程的一些情況,在了解到女士所學(xué)內(nèi)容為汽車保養(yǎng)后,男士問到上課時(shí)間,女士說是周三晚上。由此可知,女士所選的課程一周只上一次,故答案為C)。
4大高分技巧
多練、勤練
想要考好聽力測(cè)試一定要有些聽力基礎(chǔ)才行,因此考生平時(shí)需要多加練習(xí)。熟能生巧是亙古不變的真理。
注意總結(jié)場(chǎng)景詞匯
聽力考試的材料一般是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的場(chǎng)景再現(xiàn)。因此考生在做完一篇聽力對(duì)話的試題后,一定要總結(jié)一下場(chǎng)景詞匯,善于積累,培養(yǎng)語感,以后再遇到這類場(chǎng)景,就有了詞匯基礎(chǔ)和知識(shí)背景,聽起來就會(huì)輕松很多。另外,若發(fā)現(xiàn)同一場(chǎng)景下的新詞匯,還可以添加到詞匯記錄中去。經(jīng)過一定量的練習(xí),大家會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)有些場(chǎng)景是經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的。
以下是幾種場(chǎng)景中常見的商業(yè)詞匯:
市場(chǎng)營銷: business competition, competitor, advertise, advertisement, newspaper, TV commercials, business strategy, proposal, marketing, keep ahead of, aggressive
生產(chǎn)成本管理: lower the cost of production, worth, benefits, the expense of modernization, investments, repair, up-to-date, install, equipment, factory, finance, draw up a budget, afford
人力資源管理: personnel manager, employ, employee, staff, retrain, promote, engineer
聽前瀏覽選項(xiàng),進(jìn)行合理預(yù)測(cè)
養(yǎng)成利用播放答題指示語的時(shí)間快速瀏覽選項(xiàng)的習(xí)慣,這樣做有兩個(gè)作用:一是可以帶著問題去聽錄音,增強(qiáng)聽音的目的性和對(duì)相關(guān)信息的敏感度;二是可以利用相關(guān)場(chǎng)景詞匯來推測(cè)對(duì)話的內(nèi)容。如果熟悉類似于上面的場(chǎng)景詞匯,我們就能較輕松地解答有關(guān)對(duì)話主題的試題。
例6: A) He is the chief designer of the latest bike model.
B) He has completed an overseas market survey.
C) He is the Managing Director of Jayal Motors.
D) He has just come back from a trip to Africa.
預(yù)覽四個(gè)選項(xiàng)可知,均是以He開頭,由此可推斷,此題考查對(duì)某位男士的描述,因此聽音過程中應(yīng)注意對(duì)話中與He有關(guān)的描述,He可能指男士說話者或?qū)υ捴刑岬降钠渌惺?。再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的designer, model, market, Director等詞可以推測(cè),對(duì)話內(nèi)容與商業(yè)貿(mào)易有關(guān),可能涉及設(shè)計(jì)產(chǎn)品模型、投放市場(chǎng)等方面。
原文: M: Well, my father-in-law, who is also the Managing Director of Jayal Motors, has given me two weeks to prepare a report on the possibility of moving into the export market.
Q: What do we learn about the man’s father-in-law?
答案: C)。根據(jù)題干可知,選項(xiàng)中的He指代男士的岳父,男士明確提到他的岳父是Jayal Motors的總經(jīng)理,故答案為C)。
利用一些常識(shí)和潛在規(guī)律來猜題
我們?cè)趹?yīng)考時(shí)要想方設(shè)法多答對(duì)試題,對(duì)于那些在考場(chǎng)上無法完全聽懂對(duì)話內(nèi)容的考生,以下這些常識(shí)和潛在規(guī)律就比較有用。其實(shí),所謂的潛在規(guī)律就是那些由應(yīng)試高手總結(jié)的、未必科學(xué)卻很實(shí)用的答題方法。
(1) 符合生活常識(shí)和積極向上的選項(xiàng)可能是答案。
因?yàn)槲覀兩鐣?huì)的主流是積極向上的,大學(xué)生是社會(huì)的未來和希望,理應(yīng)受到正面和積極的教育。
例7: A) The personnel manager should be fired for inefficiency.
B) A few engineers should be employed to modernize the factory.
C) The entire staff should be retrained.
D) Better-educated employees should be promoted.
我們可以進(jìn)行如下分析:A)不太可能是答案,因?yàn)殚_除一個(gè)人事經(jīng)理不是一件積極的事情;B)有可能是答案,使工廠更現(xiàn)代化符合積極的原則,因?yàn)楣S現(xiàn)代化可以提高生產(chǎn)能力;C)符合積極向上的原則,但是和生活常識(shí)不太相符,因?yàn)樽屗械膯T工都接受再培訓(xùn)似乎不太可能;D)不太可能是答案,因?yàn)樗环铣WR(shí),按照常理,在工作中表現(xiàn)好、有能力的人才應(yīng)該被提拔,而不是受到較好教育的員工應(yīng)該被提拔。因此,B)最有可能是答案。
(2) 對(duì)于涉及對(duì)話主題的試題,概括性強(qiáng)的選項(xiàng)可能是答案。
例8: A) The benefits of strong business competition.
B) A proposal to lower the cost of production.
C) Complaints about the expense of modernization.
D) Suggestions concerning new business strategies.
本題的提問涉及對(duì)話的主題,所以我們就應(yīng)找概括性強(qiáng)的選項(xiàng),B)是概括性最不強(qiáng)的一個(gè),可以首先將其排除;根據(jù)常識(shí)我們知道激烈的市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭對(duì)企業(yè)來說一般沒有多少益處,所以排除A);再根據(jù)積極向上原則,抱怨的內(nèi)容不大可能是答案,所以C)也不大可能是答案。因此D)最有可能是答案。
