6 熟悉出题形式: 听力中的测试题大体可分为直接题和推理题 直接题型:问题直接针对原句中的内容,要求所选答案和原文意义上一
推理题型:原文不能为选择提供直接的信息,而是要求考生必须通过理 解字里行间的意义之后,或通过计算,或根据语言环境,推 侧出符合问题的答案。 新闻听力特别提示: 题目多为询问事件或其原因﹑结果﹑目的﹑条件﹑地点﹑态度﹑全文的 中心议题等。在新闻里,题目往往是按叙述的先后顺序提出的,所以考 生除事先快速浏览外,还可边看着答案边听,以便答案更确定。平时考 生要注意新闻用语的特点,如新闻报道中的第一句通常是全文的总纲, 对全文有很大的提示作用。此外,由于是另外录音,稍微不同于平时广 播中听到的BBC和 VOA,因此考生最好事先选用相似的听力材料进行 模拟测试,以熟悉考试形式。

3. 充分运用推断和猜测生词能力。
听力 理解 基本 应试 对策

在 听力测试中,不必因听到生词就紧张。连续听到 几个生词后,更要保持冷静、镇定,否则会影响 整体的理解,而抓不住全文的中心思想。相信自 己有能力借助于逻辑、常识、语法结构、语 境和对主题的背景知识的了解来猜测没有听 懂或漏掉单词的意思,通过推理,从听到的内容 中得出正确答案。

英语专业四级考试(TEM4)听写题(Dictation)应试方法

英语专业四级考试(TEM4)听写题(Dictation)应试方法

听写,顾名思义,既听又写,它渗透在各种形式的语言活动中,是最常用到的基本功之一。

听写测试要求考生把听到的内容准确无误地以笔头的形式表达出来,虽无需考生自己遣词造句,但由于牵涉到语言(听力﹑单词拼写﹑篇章结构等)与非语言能力(如记忆力﹑速记等)也决非易事。

从90 年开始第一次TEM4测试,听写就作为一项测试项目,占有10 分, 比重为10%, 91 ,92年,93年上升到15 分, 比重为10%,从94年起(由于难度问题,本次取消了proof reading), 听写尽管仍为15 分, 但比重上升为15%,其间制定的新的考试大纲,正式明确了这一点。

从教纲到考纲,听写都是一项不可或缺的部分,且所占比重上升,与写作相同。

在TEM4 中,考虑到基础阶段的特点及信度要求,采用的是录音式标准听写,根据考纲,长度为150字(word)左右,为一段或多段,答题纸上印有题目便于联想,所选题材广泛而不生僻,体裁多样,可以为叙述性、描写性、说明性,难度适中。

全文共分15个意群(chunk),每个意群可能是词组、分句或句子。

共念四遍,第一遍为正常速度朗读(wpm=120词),考生在此时要从整体理解全文内容,抓住中心大意,而不要着急写。

第二、三遍为慢读,根据意群停顿,分句或长句之间停10-15秒,考生此时要准确,逐字逐句迅速写下听到的内容。

第四遍又是正常语速(wpm=120词), 便于考生校对,四遍全部听写结束后,留有2分钟作为复查时间。

考生利用此时可检查全文是否有单词遗漏,拼写是否有误,标点符号是否选择正确,直到录音中听到“That is the end of dictation”, 便可进行下一项听力内容了。

根据调查,听写中的几个明显错误是:1. 考生对这种标准听写形式陌生, 对听写材料进行改写甚至加工成作文;2. 第一遍听音时不知如何把握全文的大意(top-down approach), 而是着急写,丢了西瓜捡芝麻(bottom-up),只见部分单词而缺少骨架结构;3. 同样,在第四遍结束后的两分钟复查时间里,不会很好地利用分析逻辑能力对有些明显的或介词搭配或词语进行校正,小错不断,或丢词,或写出的内容前后不通顺;4. 由于朗读中没有念出标点,而是靠学生自己听,判断选择,于是就出现全文没有标点符号,没有大小写,或所有的停顿处都是一种符号,或中文标点混用在英文短文里的情况。

Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you're looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory – and expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available --is changing our cognitive habits.Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiments showed that when we don't know the answer to a question, we now think about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we don't remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers' final observation: the expectation that we'll he able to locate inf orination down the line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we'II be able to find it.But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these facts can't be Googled as we go;they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term memory. Especially in the case of children, "factual knowledge must precede skill," says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia -- meaning that the days of drilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren't over quite yet. Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You can't Google context.Last, there's the possibility, increasingly terrifying to contemplate, that our machines fail us. As Sparrow puts it, "The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend." If you're going to keep your memory on your smart phone, better make sure it's fully charged.81.

My university's philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice idea,but it overlooked one detail:second-year students know next to nothing about medicine.Assigned to my team that day was an attending - a senior faculty member who was there mostly to make patients feel they weren't in the hands of amateurs. Many attendings were researchers who didn't have much recent hospital experience. Mine was actually an arthritis specialist. Also along was a resident (the real boss, with a staggering mastery of medicine, at least to a rookie like myself). In addition there were two interns(住院实习医生). These guys were just as green as I was,but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from the medical school, so they were technically MDs.I began the day at 6:30 am. An intern and I did a quick check of our eight patients; later, wewere to present our findings to the resident and then to the attending. I had three patients and the intern had the other five - piece of cake.But when I arrived in the room of 71-year-old Mr. Adams,he was sitting up in bed, sweating heavily and panting (喘气). He'd just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they sounded clear. Next I checked the logof his vital signs and saw that his respiration and heart rate had been climbing, but his temperature was steady. It didn't seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So I asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going on."It's really hot in here, Doc," he replied.So I attributed his condition to the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return in a few hours. He smiled and feebly waved goodbye.At 8:40 am., during our team meeting, "Code Blue Room 307!" blared from the loudspeaker.I froze.That was Mr. Adams's room.When we arrived, he was motionless.The autopsy (尸体解剖) later found Mr. Adams had suffered a massive pulmonary embolism (肺部栓塞). A blood clot had formed in his leg, worked its way to his lungs, and cut his breathing capacity in half. His symptoms had been textbook: heavy perspiration and shortness of breath despite clear lungs. The only thing was: I hadn't read that chapter in the textbook yet. And I was too scared, insecure, and proud to ask a real doctor for help.This mistake has haunted me for nearly 30 years, but what's particularly frustrating is that the same medical education system persists. Who knows how many people have died or suffered harm at the hands of students as naive as I, and how many more will?86. Why was the author doing rounds in a hospital?[A]He himself wanted to have practice.[B]Students of all majors had to do so.[C]It was part of his medical training.[D]He was on a research team.87. We learn that the author’s team members had __.[A]much practical experience[B]adequate knowledge[C]long been working there [D]some professional deficiency88. While the author was examining Mr. Adams, all the following symptoms caught hisattention EXCEPT __ __.[A]moving difficulty [B]steady temperature[C]faster heart rate [D]breathing problem89. “His symptoms had been textbook” means that his symptoms were _ ___.[A]part of the textbook[B]no longer in the textbook[C]recently included in the textbook[D]explained in the textbook90. At the end of the passage, the author expresses __ __ about the medical education system.[A]optimism[B]hesitation[C]concern[D]supportTEXT CThe war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the nation's greatest public health success stories - but not for everyone.As a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964, four in ten adults in the US smoked; today fewer than two in ten do. But some states - Kentucky, South Dakota and Alabama to name just a few - seem to have missed the message that smoking is deadly.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation's attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool. Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces. Millions of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws. But the surest way to prevent smoking, particularly among price-sensitive teens, is to raise taxes. If you can stop them from smoking, you've won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.The real-life evidence of taxing power is powerful. The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $2.42 on every pack -- three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's. Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records.Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor. True, but so do the deadly effects of smoking, far worse than a tax. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not won.91. What does "counting" mean in the context?[A] Continuing. [B] Including.[C] Calculating. [D] Relying on.92. According to the context, "Their failure" refers to__ _____.[A] those adults who continue to smoke[B] those states that missed the message[C] findings of the report[D] hazards of smoking93. The following are all efforts that led to the change of attitude on smoking EXCEPT_____.[A] rejecting by the public[B] cigarette warning labels[C] anti-smoking campaigns[D] anti-smoking legislation94. According to the author, raising tax on cigarettes___ ____.[A] is unfair to the poor [B] is an effective measure[C] increases public revenue [D] fails to solve the problem95. What is the passage mainly about?[A] How to stage anti-smoking campaigns.[B] The effects of the report on smoking and health.[C] Tax as the surest path to cut smoking.[D] The efforts to cut down on teenage smoking.TEXT DAttachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not "spoil" their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums(发脾气), ice cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don't give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And ourchildren understand this too, They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be "rewarded" for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believefirmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don't avoid them. We hold our children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children, In feet, I'm pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world, Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them, But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The "attachment" comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like parental leeches.Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting, We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves,Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don't hover, I supervise, I follow, I teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don't slap curious hands away, I show how to do things safely, I let my child do the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision and finally with trust, I don't insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk on the sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.Most of the negative things that I hear about "attachment parents" are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting ischild-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries. Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parent are allies, not adversaries, And that children are taught, not trained.96. What makes attachment parents different from indulgent parents is that they .A. show more love to their childrenB. think love is more importantC. prefer both love and toys in parentingD. dislike ice cream or sweets97. According to the author, what should parents do when their kids cry?A. Providing comfort and love.B. Trying to stop kids crying.C. Holding them till they stop.D. Rewarding kids with toys.98. What does “free-range” mean according to the passage?A. Fond of providing a home base.B. Ready to play games with my kids.C. Curious to watch what games they play.D. Willing to give kids freedom of movement.99. Which of the following is NOT attachment parenting?A. Fostering their curiosity.B. Standing by and protecting.C. Showing them how things are done.D. Helping them do the right thing.100. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to foster love in children.B. How to build child confidence.C. Different types of parenting.D. Parent-child relationships.答案解析:PART I DICTATIONMale and Female Roles in MarriageIn the traditional marriage, the man worked to earn money for the family. / The woman stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. / In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. / Some people are happy with it.

Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.Text AThe Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic,Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C.), the fist hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and develop new tools.During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.) people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed a bow and arrow which was used until the fourteenth century A.D.The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing p ermanent settlements and creating governments.66. Which of the following developments is not related to the conditions of the Ice Age?A. Farming.B. Clothing.C. living indoors.D. Using fire.67. Which of the following periods saw people develop a more communal form of living?A. Paleolithic.B. Ice Age.C. Mesolithic.D. Neolithic.68. The author states that the Stone Age was so named because _____.A. it was very durableB. the tools and weapons were made of stoneC. there was little vegetationD. the people lived in cavesText BDiscovered a mere one hundred fifty years ago and manufactured commercially just half that long, aluminum today ranks behind only iron and steel among metals serving mankind. The key to its popularity is its incredible versatility. The same meta l that makes kitchen foil serves as armor for battlefield tanks. The material of lawn chairs and baseball bats also forms the vital parts of air and space vehicles -- most of their skeletons, their skins, even the rivets that bind them together.Behind aluminum's versatility lie properties so diverse that they almost seem to belong to several different metals. For example, in its pure form, aluminum is soft enough to whittle. Y et its alloys can possess the strength of steel, with only a third of its weight. This, when Alexanedr Calder designed one of his last mobiles--a soaring creation eighty feet long -- his choice of aluminum over steel cut two tons from its weight. Aluminum also assures the masterpiece virtual immortality. The instant the metal is exposed to air; its surface acquires a transparent film that seals the interior against further corrosion.69. According to the passage, aluminum is sometimes used to make which of the the following?A. Photographic film.B. Frames for stuffed furniture.C. Foils and other fencing equipment.D. Parts of spaceships.70. The most important feature of aluminum is that it ______.A. can be used for many different thingsB. is soft enough to whittleC. is strongD. can be marketed in pure formText CPrices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product of service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-- for amount of money in orderthat they may evaluate a given price.71. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _______.A. labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services72. According to the passage, which of the following is NOTa factor in complete understanding of price?A. Instructions that come with a product.B. The quantity of a product.C. The quality of a product.D. Warranties that cover a product.73. In the last sentence of the passage, the "they" refers to ________.A. return privilegesB. all the factorsC. buyer and sellerD. money74. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses _______.A. unusual ways to advertise productsB. types of payment plans for serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain elements of price "package" influence its market valueText DNapoleon Bonaparte's ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean sealed him and his French soldiers toEgypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone: This famous stone, which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B.C., was written in three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a shorthand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek. Scientists discovered that the characters, unlike those in English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well.Twenty-three years after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois Champollion, a French philologist, fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word -- ptolemy -- name of an Egyptian ruler. This name was written inside an oval called a "cartouche",. Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increase his growing list of known phonetic signs. He and an Englishmen, Thomas Y oung, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply hidden mysteries of this strange language. Y oung believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words.75. Which of the following languages was NOT written on the Rosetta stone?A. French.B. Demotic.C. Greek.D. Hieroglyphics.76. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cartounches contained names of prominent people of the period.B. Champlllion and Y oung worked together in an attempt to decipher the hieroglyphics.C. One of Napoleon's soldiers discovered the Rosetta stone.D. Thomas Y oung believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols.77. When was the first word from the Rosetta stone deciphered?A. 3100B.C.B. 1766.C. 1799.D. 1822.78. What was the first word that was deciphered from the Rosetta stone?A. Cartouche.B. Ptolemy.C. Demotic.D. Champollion.79. Why were Napoleon's soldiers in Egypt in 1799?A. They were celebrating a naval victory.B. They were looking for the Rosetta stone.C. They were waiting to continue their campaign.D. They were trying to decipher the hiseroglyphics.80. Who was responsible for deciphering the first word?A. Champollion.B. Y oung.C. Ptolemy.D. Napoleon.SECTION B SKIMMING AND SCANNING [5 min.]In this section there are six passages with a total of 10 multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer.Text EFirst read the questions.81. The passage is mostly concerned with _____.A. different types of glasses.B. a visit to the eye doctor.C. myths about eyesight.D. eye transplant.82. One cause of eyestrain mentioned in the passage is _____.A. wearing glasses for too long.B. reading in bed.C. going to the movies.D. not visiting your eye doctorNow go through the text quickly and answer the questions.There are many commonly held beliefs about glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eye. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.We have all heard some of the common myths about eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light cause poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain alsoresults from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can replace, or transferred from one person to another.There are close to one million never fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, and it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.Text FFirst read the questions.83. Dr. Schweitzer was able to settle the argument because _____.A. he was the judge there.B. he was clever and impartial.C. he wanted some of the fish.D. he wanted to help his patient.84. The final judgment was that _____.A. all the fish should go to patient.B. the fish should go to the owner of the canoe.C. the fish should be destroyed and thrown away.D. everyone involved should get a third of the fish.Now go through the text quickly and answer the questions.The incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweitzer's hospital in the African jungle. A patient had gone fishing in another man's boat the previous night. The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr. Schweitzer said to the boat owner."Y ou are right because the other man ought to have askedpermission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. Y ou merely twisted the c hain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing."He turned to the patient:" But you were in the wrong then you took the boat without asking the owner's permission. Y ou were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it."Dr. Schweitzer divided the catch among the fisherman, the boat owner and the hospital.Text GFirst read the questions.85. It is the driver's responsibility to _____.A. make children under 14 wear seat belts in the front.B. make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt.C. stop children riding in the front seat.D. wear a seat belt on all occasions.86. For some people, it may be better _____.A. to wear a seat belt for health reasons.。

TEM4听力与完型解读

TEM4听力与完型解读

• •
语义线索 在完形填空题中,某些项的选择可以根据“语义”来决定,即已有的词或句子 的语义决定着必须选择某个选项,否则整个文章的语义逻辑就不通,内容就与作 者的原意不一致。因此考生在做选择时,不要忽略语义这条重要的线索。 有些完形填空要填入的词与上下文其他词有各种联系,文中的词往往在词义 上或搭配上决定了所应填入的词。这些词就构成了选择答案时的词汇线索。 在完形填空题的上下文中,有时会出现一些词与空格内需要填的词同指一人 或一事物,甚至可在上下文中找到应填的同一个词。这就是所说的概念线索。
• 4. 有目的的听:听力与语法、阅读不同,可以读完再回读, 她的内容是暂时、一次性的,因此学会抓要点、关键词, 以意群为单位理解全文,就变的相当重要。在四级考试的 听力部分中,问题都已印在考卷上,考生先看了问题,心 中有数,就知道有针对性的有选择地听原文,听的时候, 抓相关信息,滤除不相关的内容,从而减轻听的负担,以 提高听的有效性,同时,通过阅读干扰项,多些背景提示, 再分析四个选择项的异同,以此作为线索,听的时候,有 的放矢。
完型填空
• 完形填空的每一个空格都不是孤立存在的, 它是整个篇章的一部分,与上下文有着明显 或微妙的关系,因此在选择时就要考虑到各 选项与上下文的联系。 • 通常这种联系或关系为考生做出正确选 择提供了各种线索,比如语义逻辑、语法框 架、词汇搭配及词义的应用、概念,还有些 是非语言性的一些知识等,下面就几种微观 处理选项的技巧简要介绍。
• 2. 非语言能力方面 • 加强记忆和速记能力。有时候,听的内容都懂了,但由于记忆的问题 或时间的问题没写下来,因此在平时的训练中,有意识地不是以单个 的词而是以意群为单位进行理解和记忆;在短暂的停顿空间,如果时 间来不及,可以选用自己熟悉的缩写形式或符号记录,等以后有时间 时再复原。这种速记能力也要靠平时的多练,才能获得。 • 充分利用听写的朗读方式,选用相应的书写技巧。如:在听第一遍时, 重点听主题思想,重点词,掌握全局概念,不要一听录音就写,否则 也许能写出前边的单词或句子,却有可能不知全文的大意;第二遍和 第三遍是以句子为单位重复的,以意群为单位停顿的,在听第二遍录 音时,因时间关系,不可能一字一字地全部写下,所以要分清主次信 息,重点抓句型结构和关键词等,在听第三遍时,再把其它次要信息 如修饰语﹑定冠词等遗漏内容补上;在听最后一遍(四遍)时最后仔 细核对。

/index.aspx外教社四八级在线您的位置:首页> 应试指南> 四级应试指南项目简介听写(DICTATION)是英语专业基础阶段考试(TEM4)中的第一个项目。

其目的是测试考生的接收性(听)与产出性(写)语言技能,即听力理解能力、拼写熟练程度以及正确运用标点符号的能力。

考试时间为15分钟,计分15分,比重15%。

该项目采用的是主观题型,由人工统一评阅。

《高校英语专业四级考试大纲》(2004年新版)对听写项目的具体要求为:能在全面理解内容的基础上逐字逐句写出所听材料,并且拼写和标点符号正确无误,错误率不超过8%。

听写材料为相对独立的一个篇章,长度大约150个单词,为一段或多段,共分15个意群,每个意群可能是词组、分句或单句。

听写的录音由英美国家的专家专门录制。

全文共朗读四遍。

第一遍为正常速度,录音语速为每分钟120个单词,要求考生整体理解全文内容,抓住中心大意,而不要急于书写;在第二、三遍朗读时,会根据意群停顿,停顿时间为15秒,要求考生准确写出所听内容;第四遍与第一遍的语速一样,考生可边听边校对。

全文听完后,有两分钟的复查时间,直到录音中听到“That's the end of Part One Dictation”,表示这一部分结束。

听写曾作为一种教学手段,历史源远流长。

同时,作为测试综合技能的手段之一,听写可根据不同的考试目的和对象,在选材难度、朗读遍数及速度、中间停顿时间的长短等方面采用不同的形式,如:标准听写、部分听写、干扰听写、作文听写等。

TEM4考试采用的是录音式标准听写,也就是要求考生在15分钟内,在全面理解所听内容的基础上准确无误地逐字逐句写出全文。

TEM4听写的选材题材广泛,体裁多样,难度适中,与听力理解部分的难度相同,词汇不超出大纲要求的范围,不会出现太偏僻的人名、地名等专有名词或词汇,背景知识不复杂,不会超出大部分学生应该掌握的常识范围。

辅导应该说,十几年以来,听写一直是英语专业四级考试中的一个重要项目。

近年来,虽然听写成绩有所提高,但对照《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》中对四级阶段的要求(即听写中的错误率不超过8%),还是有一定距离。

听写过程中经常发现的问题有:1)不知如何利用第一遍听音时把握全文的大意,而急着写,丢了西瓜捡芝麻,只见部分单词而缺少骨架结构;2)在第四遍结束后的两分钟复查时间里,不会很好地利用逻辑分析能力对有些明显的错误(如介词搭配或词语拼写等)进行校正,小错不断,或丢词,或写出的内容前后不通顺;3)由于朗读中没有念出标点,而是靠考生自己听,判断选择,于是就出现全文没有标点符号,没有大小写,或所有的停顿处都是用一种符号,或中文标点混用在英文里的情况;甚至还有个别考生对这种标准听写形式陌生,对听写材料进行改写甚至会发挥到加工成作文。

针对听写的考试现状,考生如何提高听写成绩呢?第一,考前要充分了解听写的形式,最好进行一次模拟实践,体会全过程。

第二,根据朗读方式,选用相应的书写技巧。

如在听第一遍时,重点听主题思想和重点词,掌握全文大意,不要一听录音就写,因为这样急着写,也许能写出前边的单词或句子,却有可能不知全文的大意;听写的第二遍和第三遍朗读是以意群为单位重复的,在第二遍朗读录音时,要以意群为单位去理解。

因时间关系,不可能一词一词地全部写下,所以要分清主次信息,抓句型和关键词(主语、谓语等),在听第三遍时,再把其他部分,如修饰语、定冠词等遗漏内容补上,若有些词还来不及写,可先用一些自己认识的缩略形式,甚至特殊符号代替,等最后一遍核查时或结束前的两分钟检查时间时再补写出原形。

听写的评分不是以写出的单词多少,而是先以是否把原文的主要意思表达清楚,然后以是否有大小错误,如单复数,大小写、遗漏冠词等,来决定扣分的不同。

此外,如果在听的过程中有个别词或词组一下子反应不出来,就不要苦苦纠缠单个的词,要跟着录音进行下一意群的听写,因为听写评阅标准把全文根据15个意群分割成15分,每个意群最多扣一分,所以某个意群中的个别单词或词组的错误或遗漏不会影响其他意群的得分。

而对于听不懂的单词,不妨先根据读音写下音标,等回头检查时再想。

第三,运用期待语法的作用,听之前,根据题目展开联想,调集大脑中储存的相关信息,同时仔细理解第一句,因为首句常是主题句,后边的句子围绕它进一步展开,这样,可以适当缩小范围,更快地进入状态。

第四,听写是一项综合性的语言技能,包含了诸如听、写、词汇量、语法结构、篇章理解、记忆力等各方面,因此,提高听写能力,关键就是加强各种相关知识和技能的训练。

这也就牵涉到平时对各门功课的学习。

如提高听力水平,熟悉英美国家人士的说话和语音语调的差异是必要条件,但同时,如何把接收到的信息转化为自己的并写下来,则要求其他能力的配合,如对词汇的掌握及熟练程度、词语搭配知识等。

同时还要运用语法知识,有时即使没听出来,也可补写出来,如单复数和时态等;还可利用逻辑推理能力,因为所听材料都是有意义的和独立成文的,因此,检查中如发现不合逻辑思维的句子,就可以肯定所写有误,进而改正。

第五,听写是个相对机械、容易操作的测试手段,但提高听写决非一朝一夕,靠突击就可以如愿以偿的。

加强相关能力训练,能够间接促进听写水平;同时,有计划和有目的地反复实践听写,也可以巩固各项语言知识,发展运用知识的技巧,促使语言知识向语言交际能力转化。

第六,还要注意书写的整洁、清晰,用指定水笔按要求书写,以便于评阅。

最后,我们介绍TEM4听写的评分标准。

听写标准主要根据意群和词组,把短文分为15小节,每节1分。

听写评阅采用扣分法,每节最多扣1分。

重复错误扣一次。

根据评分需要,听写中出现的错误分为两类:小错误和大错误。

小错误包括大小写、标点符号错误、冠词错误、单复数错误等;大错误包括漏写单词、添加单词、替换单词、时态错误等。

每个小错误扣0.25分,每个大错误扣0.5分。

项目简介考试的第二个项目是听力理解(LISTENING COMRPEHENSION)。

听力理解属于接收性语言技能单项测试,其目的是测试考生在类似日常生活的情景中获取口头信息的能力。

该部分考试时间约为20分钟,共30题,记分为30分,比重为15%。

《高校英语专业四级考试大纲》(2004年新版)对听力的具体要求为:能听懂英语国家人士关于日常生活和社会生活的谈话以及中等难度(如TOEFL中的短文)的听力材料;能理解大意,领会说话者的态度、感情和真实意图;能听懂相当于VOA正常速度和BBC新闻节目的主要内容;能辨别各种英语变体(如美国英语、英国英语、澳大利亚英语等)。

听力测试形式采用的是客观测试题型,即多项选择题的形式。

听力理解共分三小节,每小节有10道题,每道题后有约5秒的间隙,要求考生从所给的A, B, C, D四个选择项中选出一个与原文最贴近、意义最契合的最佳答案,并根据要求用2B铅笔在答题纸上画线。

每题只能选择一个答案,多选作废,答错不倒扣分,答题纸由机器阅卷。

第一部分(Section A: Conversations)有若干组对话,每组约200个单词,在听完对话后有3至4道题;第二部分(Section B: Passages)有若干篇短文,每篇长度约为200个单词,在每篇后有3至4道题;第三部分(Section C: News Broadcast)由若干条新闻组成,每条新闻后有若干道题。

在听力理解部分的选材中,对话和短文部分的内容与日常生活和学习生活相关,而新闻为VOA和BBC等中为学生所熟悉的一般新闻报道、短评或讲话等,听力理解中涉及的语法不超出考试大纲的相关规定,出现的词语原则上不超出《大纲》对专业四级的词汇要求,此外,背景知识也在考生掌握或理解的常识之内,不会出现专门测试背景知识或智力的题目。

听力理解项目录音由英美国家人士录制,有英式英语,也有美式英语,但避免带有明显的地方口音。

录音语速为每分钟约120个词,录音只放一遍。

辅导过去,有的学生通过几年的学习能看懂原版书籍,但与英语国家的人打交道时却听不懂简单的日常用语。

现在,这种情况有所改善,学生听力水平越来越高,这是可喜的一面。

但从几年的考试情况来看,我们也不难发现,有相当多的考生听力基础薄弱,这部分的得分不高,这说明考生有待进一步加强训练。

那么,如何提高听力水平呢?第一,要克服心理障碍。

心理因素对人的现场发挥有很大的影响,特别在听力考试中,由于考场的紧张气氛,加之录音只放一遍,不能复听,常使考生产生畏惧心理。

考生在听之前,生怕听不懂,听觉紧张,越紧张就越不能专心;还有的考生遇到未听懂或未完全听懂的题就不知所措,或有个别词汇一下子听不出而绞尽脑汁地想,影响对接下来内容的注意力。

对此,考生首先要安定好自身情绪,集中精力,轻松愉快地做好听力测试前的一切准备,尤其是心理准备。

在听不懂的情况下,学会放弃,即快速猜测一个答案(因为答错不倒扣分),然后开始阅读下一道题的内容,准备下一题。

若总是高度紧张,不切实际地想不丢一分,那就会背上包袱,导致能听懂的也没有去听。

为此,考生平时要有意识地训练自己的心理素质,参加一些模拟考试,培养对考场的适应能力,增加自信心。

第二,听力部分测试考生获取口头信息的能力。

英语可分成诸如书面语、正式、非正式和口语体等语域。

它们在用词、句法等方面都有所不同,因此考生不仅要熟悉英式、美式英语不同的语音、语调和单词,而且在学习书面语的同时,注意口头语的表达方式,及其用词、句型结构和升降调所表示的不同的感情色彩。

第三,精听与泛听的有机结合。

精听就是在高度集中精力的情况下尽量把所听到的语言材料完全听懂,泛听指广泛地听各种不同类型、风格和不同来源渠道的声音材料。

精听重“质”,泛听抓“量”。

在听力考试中, 既要求能准确无误地听出某些重要的数据、年代、人名、地名及事实,又要求把握大意,这就必须在训练中把精听与泛听结合起来。

听不同题材、不同内容、不同性别和不同语音语调,甚至于同一单词的不同读音。

只有坚持不懈地长期进行两者的结合,才能稳步提高听力技能。

第四,预测在听力理解中非常重要。

预测能帮助提高识别速度,而识别速度是听力理解的关键之一。

合理地运用预测技巧可以减少记忆负荷,缩小搜索范围,提高听的效率,同时还可以降低难度,消除紧张心理,增强自信心。

为提高预测能力,在平时的训练中,考生就要养成预测的习惯。

即利用听之前的短暂时间,快速浏览问题及选项,分析一下选项之间的关系,从中预测要听的对话或文章等的主题和可能提出的问题,以便带着问题、有的放矢地捕捉期待的信息内容。

这样在听的过程中就能快速、准确地作出判断。

在各部分题目前,试题册上都印有一段题目指令,磁带上也录有相应指令,由于这部分指令每年考试都基本相同,考生只要熟悉这些内容,就可以利用播放指令的时间,做好预测。
