以读促听:系统功能语篇分析与专业八级微型讲座听力理解

以读促听:系统功能语篇分析与专业八级微型讲座听力理解作者:李素琴段学勤来源:《疯狂英语·教师版》2013年第01期摘要:英语书面语和口语语篇的理解同属于语言解码过程,需要读者、听者的多种能力共同合作,以求获取最大限度的语篇信息。

系统功能语篇分析能力已被证实能促进英语阅读理解,而我们认为,听者可以通过阅读训练,把握系统功能语篇分析中的主位分析方法,体会微型讲座的主位推进特征以及由此发生的信息的呈现方式,从而宏观掌握微型讲座的主旨大意和最大限度地捕捉信息细节。

关键词:以读促听;系统功能语篇分析;微型讲座听力理解[中图分类号]H319.3[文献标识码]A[文章编号]1006-2831(2013)02-0016-4 doi:10.3969/j.issn.1006-2831.2013.01.0041. 引言英语听力教学中,培养较长语篇听力理解能力是对高年级阶段的教学重点。

这项能力的高低决定一个英语专业本科毕业生能否胜任外事文秘、国际贸易谈判、国际新闻采编、国际科技学术交流等涉外业务。

在教学实践中发现,这项教学重点经常成为难点,学生在进行笔记训练时出现两极分化,一个极端是学生记录了大量笔记,却没有抓住要点;另一极端是有的只能写下支离破碎的几个单词。

偶尔有个别天赋高、记忆力强、基本功扎实的学生,能够把这道题做得很好,可是教师发现,这类学生做好这道题是因为什么都听懂了,而不一定是依赖笔记。

语篇听力理解水平受多种因素制约,可简略地归类为言者、听者、语篇和语境等因素。

从言者角度,探讨说话人的语速、重音所在、语调、语气等;从听者角度,主要包括听者的认知模式、自身体验、文化背景、目的语水平、对话题的熟悉程度以及心理因素等。

对语篇的分析,从连贯衔接等角度入手,谈语篇的体裁、类型、文体特征等;对语境的研究主要是体现在听小对话和长对话中的关键词的提示等,对这些因素已有大量研究。

本文讨论的是怎样利用语篇资源中的主述位分析来促进对长语篇的听力理解水平,提出“以读促听”的长语篇听力的教学方法。

英语专业八级Mini-lecture听力测试题型的真实性研究


语言测试真实性的理论分析
语 言测试的真实性是过去 2 0年来测试界一直关注 的问题。 94 18 年的国际语言测试大会对此进行了专门的讨论。斯波斯基总结到: “( 言测试 的) 语 真实性标准 给测试领域提 出了语用和 伦理的 问题 。 测试材 料缺乏真实性对我 们根据测试成 绩所做出的推论也提 出 了疑 问。” ( ply 9 5 S o k ,18 )测试 界对语言测试 的真 实性看法不~ 。有 s 学者 认为语言测试 的真 实性就是努力把 实际生活中 的交 际活动复制 出来 。也有学者认 为应 该注重语言 的使 用者、语境和语篇 的相互关 系,应该让被试者完成特定的交际任务,以便于评价他们的语言能 力和交际能力。B cm n(9 1 ah a 19 )提出应该从情景真实性和交际真 实性两 个发面来定义测试 的真实性 。情 景真实性是指测试 方法 特征 与将来 某一特定 目的语使用 的情景特征 相关的程度 。交际真 实性指 的是考 生在完成某-N试 任务时 ,其语 言力的那些方面参 与了完成 - 该测试任 务的活动 ,参与 的程度如何 。与情 景真实性不 同,交 际真 实性强 调的是考生与测试任务之 间的交际关系 。 ( 刘润清 ,19 ) 较低 。 99 B cma ah n认为, 情景真实性和 交际真实性只是两个相对 的概念, ( )语 言任务 的真实性 。B cm n (90 二 ah a 19 )认为,语言 交际 我们只 能说某测试 的真实 性 “ ”或 “ ”,不能简单地 说它 “ 高 低 真 能 力 由语 言 能 力 ,策 略 能 力 和 心 理 生 理 机 制 三 个 部 分 组 成 。 实 ”或 “ 不真实 ”。一般来讲 ,提高测试 的情 景真实性要容 易些 , Miiet e n 1 u 作为英 语专业 八级测试的一个项 目 以测量考 生的语 言 .cr 应 而提高测试的交际真实性则要复杂些、难些。因为提高测试的交际 交际能力为 目的,充分考核考生语 言交际能力各要 素的参与程 度, 真 实性意 味着提 高考 生在 完成某 一 测试任 务 时其语 言能 力六要 素 提高测试的交际真实性。下面,笔者从任务类型,任务设置及任务 ( 即语 言组 织能力 、语用 能力及评估 、确定 目标、制定计划 、执行 要求三个方面对本项 目的真实性进行具体分析 。 计划 四种元认 知策略)的参与程度 ( 润清 ,19 )。 刘 99 1任务类型 。本项 目要求考 生边 听边记 ,这种任务类 型是 日常 . 二、英语专业八级 Miietr 听力测试题型的真实 生活中最常见的 、应用 范围最广 的语 言能力展现形式 。无 论是学习 n l ue -c 性研究 听课 ,还是会议记 录,或是语言翻译 ,人们都要运用听记 并行的能 八级考试 Mi.c r 是一个将 听力和 做笔记填空结合 的题 型。 力,因而,本项 目较真实 。 n1te ie u 该项 目是一个 90字左右 的讲座 ,考 生边听边做笔记 ,然后完 成填 0 2任务设置。 . 考生要完成 Mi. c r 测试项目, n 1te ie u 必须要尽可能 空任务 。具 体步骤如下 :考 生听录音 ,同时将 笔记作在统一 发放的 全面、充分地理解 、记录讲座 。笔者认 为本项 目做到 了对考 生语 言 空 白纸 上。录音结束后 ,监考 人员将填 空短 文发给考生 ,短文 类似 交际能力各要素 的评判 ,真实性较高 。 首先 ,考生必须运用其语法、 听力原文 的概 要。考生须按照 自己所作 的听 力笔记完成填 空任 务。 词汇 等语言能力 去理解 讲座 ,同时加 工、概括原文 ,选取 重点,正 用于填 空的词不一定非得 是录 音中 H现 的词 ,凡是在语义 上与原文 确记录;其 次,要在有限 的时 间内记 录大量信息 ,考 生要具备较强 J 致 且 语 法上 与填 空 短文 相 适 应 的单 词 均可 。下 面 ,笔 者 将 在 的策略能力 ,即如何又快又准地全面 记录,应该选取什么 技巧来完 B cma ah n的理论的基础上 ,从语 言材 料及语言任务两方面对 本测试 成 ( 运用缩 写、符 号、图表等 ) :另外,本项 目 考生的心理因素也 对 具有较强的挑战性 。测试 的过程 中,语 言的接收与输 出同时进行, 题型的真实性做 以研 究。 ( 一)语言材料的真实性。应用语言学家 Wi o sn认为语言 考 生必须要克服 自己的紧张心理 ,平静、沉稳地去完成 任务,让 自 d wo d 材料 的真 实性是指材料与学 习者之间 的关系特 性,与学 习者 的恰 当 己的语言能力得 以充分 发挥。 3任务要求 。本项 目要求考 生先 做笔记后填 空,符 合语言运用 . 反应有关,是语言学习中材料与学习者的交互真实性。换言之,学 习者在 课堂中接触到的语 言应该是在现 实生活中听到和看 到的语言 的实际状况 ,提 高 了本测试题 型的真实性 。笔者选 用两 个英语专业 每 5 两个班的学生在 同 学 习者在课 堂 中要完 成 的任务 就是 在现 实生 活中可 能要解 决 的 问 三年级的两个班做 了实证 研究 。 班人数 2 人 。

(完整版)2018年英语专业八级真题听力minilecture原题,答案以及原文

2018年英语专业八级真题听力Mini-lecture原文(1)Language and Humanity语言和人类Good morning, everyone.大家早上好。

In today's lecture, we're going to discuss the relationship between language and humanity. As we all know, language is very powerful.在今天的课上,我们将讨论语言和人类之间的关系。

众所周知,语言是非常强大的。

It allows you to put a thought from your mind directly in someone else's mind.它可以让你把你的想法直接放在别人的大脑里。

Languages are like genes talking, getting things they want.语言就像会说话的基因,得到他们想要的东西。

And you just imagine the sense of wonder in a baby when it first discovers that, merely by uttering a sound, it can get objects to move across a room as if by magic, and maybe even into its mouth.你可以想象,当一个婴儿第一次发现,仅仅通过发出一个声音,它就能让物体像中了魔法一样在房间里移动,甚至可能进入它的嘴里。

Now we need to explain how and why this remarkable trait, you know, human's ability to do things with language, has evolved, and why did this trait evolve only in our species?现在我们需要解释这个显著的特征,也就是人类用语言做事的能力,是如何进化的,为什么进化,为什么这个特征只在我们人类身上进化?In order to get an answer to the question, we have to go to tool use in the chimpanzees.为了得到这个问题的答案,我们必须研究黑猩猩的工具使用。

专业英语八级考试听力讲座练习

专业英语八级考试听力讲座练习专业英语八级考试听力讲座练习英语专八听力讲座部分内容与考生英语专业相关,是一个将听力和做笔记填空结合的`题型。

该题目是一个900字左右的讲座,要求考生边听边做笔记,然后完成填空任务。

专八听力的提高最基本的技巧还是需要考生们平时多听voa/bbc,以下是店铺为大家搜索整理专业英语八级考试听力讲座练习,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助![00:27.11]In this section, you will hear a mini-lecture.[00:32.14]You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY.[00:35.10]While listening, take notes on the important points.[00:39.47]Your notes will not be marked,[00:41.77]but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture.[00:47.46]When the lecture is over, you’ll be given two minutes to check your notes,[00:52.70]and another 10 minutes to complete the gap-filling task.[00:56.97]Now listen to the mini-lecture.[00:59.93]What is good writing?[01:03.64]Different cultures using different languages may come up with very different answers to the question.[01:09.34]Indeed, even different individuals may have different standards, tastes and expectations.[01:14.80]However, as far as English is concerned, a set of basic characteristics,[01:19.95]which is believed to be present in all good writing, [01:22.57]has been promoted by educators in English-speaking countries.[01:25.85]They are: unity, coherence, emphasis, developmentand clarity.[01:31.32]While these good old values are still relevant,[01:34.27]today’s discussion of good writing focuses on a different set of concepts.[01:38.97]I’ll define good writing using different terms: good writing is good thinking;[01:44.11]good writing involves thoughtful revision; good writing is directed toward an audience;[01:49.91]good writing achieves a clear purpose; good writing expresses ideas clearly.[01:55.06]Firstly, good writing is good thinking. Good thinking leads to good writing,[02:01.40]and muddy thinking can only result in muddy writing.[02:04.57]As simple as that. Writing is a thinking process; it is not making a big deal out of nothing.[02:10.70]Good writing should be substantive, really having things to say.[02:14.64]Not only having things to say, but also having insightful things to say about the topic.[02:20.32]This concept is particularly important for you non-native speakers of English.[02:25.25]You may tend to be overly concerned with being correct in grammar, spelling and mechanics.[02:30.60]While good writing is expected to be free from grammatical and other errors,[02:34.97]it is worth repeating here that good writing is not good grammar or vice versa.[02:40.12]At the advanced level,[02:42.19]you should be much more concerned with higherand more important issues of writing in English.[02:46.90]If you were excited at all by a piece of writing,[02:49.96]most likely, it was for one or a combination of the following reasons:[02:54.78]1) because it enlightens you or sheds light on the subject;[03:00.02]2) because you have felt something similar but in a rather vague and superficial way;[03:05.60]3) because you have felt exactly the same,[03:09.33]but have never been able to express yourself in such an effective and elegant manner.[03:13.70]Secondly, good writing involves thoughtful revision.[03:17.30]Although there are geniuses who are such inspired writers[03:20.91]that they can produce great writings at the spur of the moment[03:24.08]without having to revise as much as one word, such geniuses are few and far between.[03:29.77]For the overwhelming majority of writers,[03:32.73]good writing is ninety-nine percent hard work and one percent inspiration.[03:37.98]Experienced writers subject their writings to numerous revisions before feeling satisfied.[03:43.89]Lu Xun, the greatest modern Chinese writer, for example,[03:48.04]talks about pacing pensively in the study for days searching for the right word.[03:53.07]Thirdly, good writing is directed toward an audience.[03:57.01]Notice the use of the word “audience” here:[03:59.97]it usually refers to viewers and listeners, but now its reference has expanded to include readers, too,[04:06.86]particularly in discussions of writing.[04:09.48]You should remember that what is appropriate for one kind of audience may not be appropriate for another.[04:15.60]The intended audience determines your choice of words,[04:18.88]your sentence length and patterns, the overall tone, [04:22.72]the details that would be included in your writing, etc.[04:26.00]Fourthly, good writing achieves a clear purpose.[04:29.50]Good writing must achieve your intended purpose.[04:32.12]If you want to write about how to make Jiaozi, your reader, after reading your writing,[04:37.37]should get everything he or she needs to know about how to make Jiaozi,[04:41.31]from the necessary ingredients to step by step instructions.[04:45.03]If your purpose is to convey the sublime and soul-awakening beauty of the morning sun[04:51.15]bursting out of the horizon in the misty Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province,[04:55.86]you should describe it in such a way that your readers should be able to visualize the scenery.[05:01.00]If you want to propose that China adopt a legal drinking age,[05:05.15]you should make it clear to the People’s Congress why such a law is necessary,[05:09.64]what it should be, how to implement such a law,and so forth.[05:13.68]Last but not least, good writing expresses ideas clearly.[05:18.17]Good writing reflects good thinking,[05:21.23]and good thinking needs to be put in precise, concise, and lucid prose.[05:26.04]An important task for revision is to trim all the deadwood,[05:30.31]pruning all the redundancies, wordiness,[05:33.16]and confusing and misleading ambiguities.[05:35.56]For non-native speakers,[05:37.53]to express yourself clearly often involves making your writing more idiomatic,[05:41.79]reducing the level of negative interference of your native language[05:45.52]and to bring your writing closer to English-speaking readers.[05:48.68]Only when you can write clearly can you begin to think of developing a distinctive style.[05:53.94]What kind of style should you develop or use depends on your temperament,[05:58.64]your need, and such controlling factors as the subject you are writing about,[06:02.90]the audience you are writing to, and the purpose you want to achieve.[06:06.73]One style may be appropriate for certain occasions but totally inappropriate for others.[06:12.10]You would feel totally out of place[06:14.39]if you go to a casual gathering of old friends dressed in expensive suit and tie,[06:19.31]unless you want to appear snobbish and showy.[06:22.04]How about going to a concert performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra[06:26.86]in the elegant Grand Capital Arts Center in loosely fit T-shirt and jeans?[06:32.00]So far, we have discussed five characteristics of good writing.[06:36.37]In later lectures, you will learn in greater detail how to write to different audiences[06:41.73]to achieve specific purposes in clear and effective styles.下载全文。

Questions to think aboutA. status of English in the futureB. (10) ______ of distinct varieties of EnglishSECTION A MINI-LECTUREIn this section you will hear a mini-lecture. You willhear the lectu re ONCE ONLY while listening,takenotes on the important points. Your notes will not be marked, but you will need them tocomplete a gap-f illing task after the mini-lecture. When the lecture is over, you will be given twominutes to check your notes, and another ten minutes to complete the gap-filling task onANSWER SHEET ONE. Use the blank sheet for note-taking.Now listen to the mini-lectureThe Popularity of EnglishGood morning, every one. Today’s lecture is about the popularity of English. As we all know,English is widely used in the world. Although English is not the language with the largestnumber of native or first language speakers, it has really become a lingua franca. Then what is alingua franca? The te rm refers to a language which is widely adopted for communicationbetw een two speakers whose native languages are different from each other ’s, and where oneor both speakers are using it as a second language. For example, when an Indian talks to aSingaporean using English, th en English is the lingua franca. Then actually how many peoplespeak English as either a first or a second language? Some researchers sug gested a few yearsago that between 320-380 million people spoke English as a first language, and anywaybetwe en 250-350 million as a second language. And of course, if we include peop le who arelearning English as a foreign language all over the world, that number may increase dramatically.Then we may ask a question: h ow did English get there? That is, how did English gain thepresent status of popularity? There are in fact a number of interlocking rea sons for thepopularity of English as a lingua franca. Many of the r easons are historical, but they alsoinclude economic and cultural fact ors that have influenced and sustained the spread of thelanguage. Let ’s go through the reasons one by one.First is the historical reason. This is related to the colonial hist ory. As we know, when thePilgrim Fathers landed on the Massachusetts coast in 1620 after their journey from England,they brought with th em not just a set of religious beliefs, a pioneering spirit or a d esire forcolonization, but also their language. Although many years la ter, the Americans broke awayfrom their colonial master, the language of English remained and still does. It was the same inAustralia, t oo. When Commander Phillip planted the British flag in Sydney cove o n the 26thJanuary,1788, it was not just a bunch of British convicts on their guardian s, but also alanguage. In other parts of the former British Empire, English rapidly became a unifying ordominating means of control. For example, it became a lingua franca in India or a variety ofindigen ous languages made the use of any one of them as a whole country systemproblematic. So the imposition of English as the one language of administration helpsmaintain the colonizers’control and power, thus English traveled around many parts of theworld in those days. And long after that colonial power has faded away, it is still widely u sed asa main or at least an institutional language in countries as far apart as Jamaica and Pakistan,Uganda and New Zealand. That is th e first factor.Now the second major factor in the spread of English has been the spread of commercethroughout the world. The spread of international co mmerce has taken English along with it.This is the 20th century phen omenon of globalization. Therefore, one of the first sights manytravel ers see when arriving in countries as diverse as Brazil, China, for example, is the yellowtwin arch sign of MacDonald’s fast food restaurant or some other famous brands outlets Andwithout doubt, English is used as the language of communication in the int ernational businesscommunity. in the international business community. And the third factor related to the popular use of English is the booming international travel.And you will find that much travel and t ourism is carried on around the world in English. Ofcourse this is not always the case, as the multi-lingualism of many tourism workers in manydifferent countries demonstrate. But a visit to most airports on the globe will show signs notonly in the language of that coun try but also with English, just as many airline announcementsbroadcast in English too, whatever the language of the country the airport i s situated in.So far, English is also the preferred language of air traffic contro l in many countries and is usedwidely in sea travel communication. A nother factor has something to do with informationexchange around the world. As we all know, a great deal of academic discoursearound the world takes place in English. It is often a lingua franc a of conferences,for example,and many journal articles in fields as d iverse as astronomy, trio psychology and geology haveEnglish as a kin d of default language.The last factor I cite here concerns popular culture. In the western world, at least English is adominating language in popular culture. Pop music in English can be heard on many radios,thus many people who are not English speakers can sing words from their favorite En glishmedium songs. And many people who are regular cinema-goers or TV viewers can frequentlyhear English in subtitle films coming out of the USA.Now, to sum up in today’s lecture, we have reviewed some of the reasons or factors that lie behind the popular use of English as the No.1 world language. Before we finish, I'd like toleave a few questions for you to think about. Is the status of English as the No.1 worldlanguage a sure in the future? Will it split into varieties that become less mutually intelligible?Or will some other language or languages take the place of English as world language in future?The se questions are not easy to answer, I know. But they are definitel y worth pondering overafter the lecture. Ok, this brings to the end of today’s lecture. Thank you for your attention.Now you have two minutes to check your notes. And then please finish the gap-filling task onAns wer Sheet 1 in 10 minutes.SECTION B INTERVIEWIn this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.

Today I’d like to share with you one interesting topic, that is: cultural differences between East and West. But before we start, we have to look at an important question: What leads to the cultural differences? The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole. The origin of the Eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own styles. Then in the Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went o-verseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system. When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the colonists of England settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European one a lot. At the same time, the difference of the language systems adds to the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper. Other factors like human race difference count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other. Now, I’d like to discuss with you another question, that is: how differently do people behave in daily life? The differences are everywhere. They affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world. Even in everyday life, the cultural differences show up from the moment the eyes are opened to the minutethe dreams are invited. In the following, I’ll give some typical examples of the differences. First example: greeting. Greeting is the first step to form a culture, because people begin to communicate with others. The individuals become a community. How do we Chinese greet each other? Informally, if we meet a friend in the street, we are used to saying: “Hi, have you had your meal?” or “Where are you going?” When it is the case of two gentlemen, they tend to shake hands. However, in western countries, the above questions are just questions, not greetings at all. They may think you’re inviting them to dinner if you ask about their meals. Usually, they’ll just give each other a smile or greet with a “Hi.” They’ll shake hands only in some formal situations. By the way, Westerners can leave a party or meeting hall without a formal conge, nor should they shake hands with every attendee like most of us will do here. Second example: expressing gratitude. Think of the situations below. Your mother is busy in the kitchen. She suddenly asks you to fetch a bowl for her. You do so. What’U your mother’s response be? Probably she’ll just continue doing the cooking. After a while, the dinner is ready. Your mother hands you your bowl of rice. What’s your response? Probably just begin to eat. That’s what I want to say. In Chinese families, we rarely say “Thank you” to other family members for receiving help or service. Neither will we say so between good friends. It’s such an unpopular response that if you say it, the counterpart will think you are treating him as a stranger, otherwise you are lacking intimacy. But in the West, “thank you” is one of the most frequently used sentences. Teachers will thank a student for answering the question; husbands will thank his wife for making a coffee. However, as an interesting phenomenon, it’s a custom to say “thank you” in Japan. No matter in family or among friends, Japanese chronically use it all day. This is probably the aberrance of the culture. After the above discussions, now there is another question, that is: what can we do to treat the culture gap? Now we have seen that there exists such a huge gap between eastern culture and western one. Then what should we do to face this gap in the gradually globalizing world? Firstly, we cannot deny any of the cultures. Every nation has its own characteristics and it’s mainly through its culture that we first begin to know the nation and its characteristics. So we cannot say that this culture or custom is right and that is wrong. Equal respect should be attached to every culture in the world, even to those that are not in existence any more. Next, we should get to learn how to coordinate the different cultures. We say the world is becoming smaller and smaller. More foreigners come and go everyday. When it is in the same country, the same city, the same neighborhood, the cultural collision is expected to be more serious. So we should try to avoid this happening. One important thing is to get some basic knowledge about the other cultures so as not to misunderstand some actions or habits of the foreigners. When the above two are done, we can start to communicate. I mean we can take in some strong points from the foreign cultures. Though there doesn’t exist correctness in terms of culture, it does have the terms of more advanced or more suitable for the world nowadays. Of course, we cannot throw away our own culture and accept another one totally. Every culture is a treasure to the history of the Earth, so we should only pick out those we lack to perfect our own. To conclude what we have discussed today: first we have provided you with theunderlying reasons of cultural differences, after mat, we have presented you with several specific examples to further prove this. Finally we have explained the differences from several perspectives. Last but not least, we should remember that different cultures add the most colorful element to the world of the 21st century. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings. It ought to be the motivation of going farther.Cultural Differences between East and West I.
