专业四级考试听力的应对方法 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。

针对听写的考试现状，考生如何提高听写成绩呢？ 1. 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。

2.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、重点词，掌握全局概念，不要一听录音提笔就写，也许能写出前边的单词或句子，却有可能不知全文的大意；听第二遍和第三遍是以句子为单位重复的，在第二遍朗读录音时，要以意群为单位去理解，因时间关系，不可能一字一字地全部写下，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，再把其它如修饰语、定冠词等遗漏内容补上，若有些词还来不及写，可用一些自己认识的缩略形式，甚至符号先代替，等最后一遍或复查两分钟时再恢复原形。

因为评分不是以写出的单词多少而得分，而是先以是否清楚表达原文的主要意思，然后以是否有小的错误，如单复数、大小写、有无定冠词等来评定不同扣分。

如果在听的过程中有个别词或词组一下反应不出来，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，因为阅卷是以15个意群分割成15分，每个意群最多扣一分，所以个别词或句的错或漏不会影响其它的得分。

而对于听不懂的单词，不妨写下音标，等回头检查时可再想。

3. 运用期待语法的作用。

听之前，根据题目展开联想，调集大脑中储藏的相关信息，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，便于更快的入戏。

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

这也就牵扯到平时对各门功课的学习。

如提高听力水平，熟悉英美国家的不同说话发音方式即语音语调，这是必要条件，但同时，如何把接收到的信息转化为自己的并产出，则要求其它能力的配合，如对词汇、词语搭配、语法知识等的掌握及熟练程度。

运用所有知识，有时即使没听出来，也可补写出来，如单复数、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独立成文的，所以，检查中如发现不合逻辑思维的句子，可以肯定所写有误，进而更正。

至于标点，是听出来的，可以利用二读三读时的停顿来判断。

一般地说，二读时，某个意群如有停顿，接下去是另一意群，那么两者之间可能有符号，如逗号，也可能没有，要看两者的关系，若是回读（三读）该意群，那么这之后肯定是表示完整的一句结束了，因此最有可能是句号。

此外，要充分利用语法知识进行分析，如单复数是否一致、上下文时态是否相配、大小写是否恰当、介词搭配或词语用法是否合乎规范、前后语意内容是否通顺等。

5. 听写是个相对机械故容易操做的测试手段，但提高听写决非一朝一夕仅靠突击就可以的，要加强相关能力训练，能够间接促进听写水平，同时，个人需有计划有目的的反复实践听写，这样，才可以促进巩固各项语言知识，发展运用知识的熟巧，促使语言能力向交际能力转化。

6. 最后，还要注意书写的整洁、清晰，用圆珠笔或钢笔按要求书写，以便于评阅。
