大学英语四级听力题型题型及答题技巧

大学英语四级听力题型题型及答题技巧听力部分的分值在四级考试中占35%,录音播放时间在35分钟左右。

如何在这“惊心动魄”的半小时中,有效把握信息点,是很多考生颇为头疼的问题。

下面是由给大家带来的大学英语四级听力题型分析及答题技巧,一起来看看吧!大学英语四级听力题型分析一、新闻题。

新闻题的特点是原文会开门见山交待发生的事情。

而往往新闻题的第一道题考的也是新闻主旨,所以新闻题的开头部分很重要。

后面通常是围绕新闻主旨进行细节描述,那么后一道或者后两道会出在细节上。

另外熟悉新闻常用词也是必要的。

当然具体到每道题的方法还会有各自特点,下面做逐题分析1新闻第一题在开头部分找答案,本题从开头部分通过视听一致即可确定,预览选项先划出选项中的重点词,因为A/B/D三项均没有听到其中的重点词,只有C项中dangerous明显听到。

2 预览此题为短词选项,短词选项通常符合视听一致,但难点是容易出现干扰项。

但窍门在于如果出现没听懂却只听到选项其中两个词的情况,历年考试规律是选后者正确概率大得多。

不过,本题没有出现干扰项,所以很简单属于送分题。

3 第二篇新闻题是事故类新闻,这类新闻更是会开头交待出时间人物地点事件。

这篇新闻题第一题仍然是问发生的什么事情,考生抓住开头介绍,视听一致确定答案。

4抓住关键词: so that ,关键词加视听一致即可。

5 第三个新闻题第一题仍旧考题出在新闻主旨上,同样的方法,简单预览选项,文章开头第一句视听一致。

6本题是细节题。

考生应该注意的是新闻题中遇到“目击证人说/有关部门说/相关研究人员说”这类句子要认真听,此处容易出题。

本题,原文中announce(宣称)后视听一致确定答案。

7同样新闻题中出现时效性的分析或者预测都会是考点,所以诸如某人predict/estimate/ assess/confirm这样的句子时认真听,本题he estimated that…后面视听一致很容易听到lose jobs,本题无干扰项,容易确定答案。

CET4听力技巧一、新闻英语(News Item)解读1)把握主旨,关注首句新闻报道一般将最重要或者最吸引人的信息集中在首句,即新闻导语(the news lead)。

2)听前预测,预读选项- 关注选项关键词- 预测新闻主旨大意- 预测问题提问方式3)积累新闻词汇熟悉常见组织机构英文名称及缩略语,如UNESCO, NASA等。

1. 把握主旨,注重首句英语四级听力练习,主旨类题目考查我们对文章主旨大意的概括理解能力。

由于主题句一般出现在文章的开头,所以其开头部分往往是考查的重点。

新闻报道一般将最重要或者最吸引人的信息集中在首句,而该句就是我们所说的导语(the news lead),换言之,听到新闻的首句,就可以对新闻内容有一个总体的把握。

2. 新闻特点(1) 注重时效性:新闻听力在原文和选项中都体现出刚发生的感觉,偶尔也会涉及将来发生的动作。

(2) 新闻六要素:when ——新闻发生的时间;where ——新闻发生的地点;what ——新闻描述的具体事件;who ——事件中涉及的人物;why ——事件的起因;how ——事件的相关背景、经过以及结果等。

这六点串联在一起便是一篇新闻报道的主线,所以要重点记录这几处的相关信息。

3. 考点解读新闻题材十分广泛,大体可分为政治、经济贸易、科技能源、社会问题(宗教纠纷、军事冲突、武装暴乱)、体育赛事以及灾难灾害等。

近年来,国际恐怖组织活动频发,对世界各地造成巨大的影响,因此这方面的新闻层出不穷。

一般说来,数据和灾难新闻,是听力最易考查的内容(比如询问死了多少人之类的)。

下表对新闻听力常考题材一一做了解读:Economic Cooperation(亚太经合组织),IMF=International Monetary Fund(国际货币组织),ASEAN=Association of Southeast Asian Nations(东南亚国家联盟)等。

(5) 需了解新闻词汇的其他特征。

大学英语四级新闻听力技巧大学英语四级新闻听力技巧很多时候大家都觉得英语四级听力太难,不知道考四级英语听力怎么练。

下面是小编整理的大学英语四级新闻听力技巧,欢迎大家阅读分享借鉴,希望对大家有所帮助。

更多英语四级相关内容推荐↓↓↓大学英语四级新闻听力技巧1. 素材首先,新闻听力的素材肯定是有套路的,一般来自于BBC、VOA、CNN等权威媒体俗话说,知己知彼,百战不殆。

既然题源都有了,当然平时都得好好看在科技高速发展的今天,每天读到第一手BBC、CNN新闻根本不是难事但是,这些媒体的新闻太多太多了,如果说想尽可能看完,那基本上觉都不用睡了……所以,我们需要更好的办法来利用题源这里推荐的方法是,下载各大新闻媒体的APP,每天养成读头条、读推送的好习惯,可以有选择性的读几篇全文,但是全部通读就没必要了为什么光读头条和推送就能有用?因为利用题源不是让你精读并背诵每一篇可能被出题的新闻,而是要让你熟悉新闻语境。

只要熟悉了新闻的套路,不管那个题目你有没有见过,你都能迅速找到有用信息一般来说,新闻标题都简明扼要,寥寥数字就能讲清主要内容,多读能让你适应新闻语言的特点其次,新闻标题为了用更少的字说清楚更多的信息,往往会有一些特殊的词汇用法,如多用缩略词、多用“小词”等(这部分下面会细说)而且,各大媒体的推送类似导语,一句话说清所有重点,以上面的推送为例:3 people wounded after an attacker storms Iran's parliament building, according to state TV.从这一句话里面,我们能找到新闻最关键的六大要素:人物(who)、时间(when)、地点(where)、事件(what)、原因(why)和方式(how)2. 新闻六大要素抓取新闻信息,最关键的就是弄清楚这六大要素:人物(who)、时间(when)、地点(where)、事件(what)、原因(why)和方式(how) 一篇完整的新闻一定会包含这六大信息而这六大关键,也是出题高发地点例如:2016年12月英语四级听力真题:导语:Three university students in Santiago, Chile, have developed a plant-powered device to charge their mobile phones.Question 5: What did the three university student invent? 考察事件(what)2016年12月英语四级听力真题:导语:The U.S. Postal Service announced today that it is considering closing about 3,700 post offices over the next year because of falling revenues.Question 5: What is the U.S. Postal Service planning to do? 考察事件(what)好了,现在你知道这六大要素有多重要了,那么怎么才能在几分钟的新闻里抓住它们呢?其实,有一句话,有超大的信息量,有时甚至包含了所有的六大要素这句话就是导语3. 导语导语可以说是整篇新闻里最重要的一句话,看完导语,你对这篇新闻就能有个基本的了解所以,听力刚开始播放的时候一定要竖起耳朵听导语啊同学们一般来说,导语就会涵盖六大要素再不然,最最基本的信息也是能说清楚的以下是打开BBC随手找的一篇新闻的导语:Egypt is closing its airspace(领空) to Qatari planes in a growing diplomatic row(外交纠纷), with Saudi Arabia expected to do the same on Tuesday.人物:Egypt;Qatari planes;Saudi Arabia时间:现在(is closing正在进行时);Tuesday地点:Egypt;Saudi Arabia事件&方式:closing airspace原因:diplomatic row怎么样?是不是信息量超大?再来个真题原文栗子:2016年12月英语四级听力真题:Rescue efforts were underway Thursday morning for 17 miners who were stuck in an elevator below ground at a Cargill rock salt mine near Lansing, New York.人物:17 miners时间:Thursday morning地点:Lansing, New York事件&方式:rescue miners原因:stuck in an elevator只要听懂导语,那你离听懂这条新闻就成功了一半即使有时导语可能漏了某些信息,你也只需要去找漏掉的少部分就行了,实在是个huge relief4. 新闻词汇新闻词汇有自己的特点,只有多读多看才能掌握规律(所以小编建议大家好好利用素材嘛)其中,最常见的特点有以下几个:a)标题、导语短小精悍因为篇幅限制,新闻标题和导语用的单词字数不能太多,这样的高要求就催生了一些新闻特有的语言现象以上面的导语为例:Egypt is closing its airspace(领空) to Qatari planes in a growing diplomatic row(外交纠纷), with Saudi Arabia expected to do the same on Tuesday.假如这不是新闻导语,而是普通文章,那么这句话应该是:Because of a growing diplomatic row, Egypt is closing its airspace to Qatari planes. And Saudi Arabia is expected to do the same on Tuesday.正是因为篇幅限制,导语用一个in来替代原因状语从句;第二句话也直接用with并入了第一句中,还省略了被动态里的be动词b)多用缩略词下面是BBC原文,缩略词短小、又能完整地传达长单词or长词组的意思,正是新闻语篇大爱的表达When former FBI Director James Comey testifies on Thursday before a Senate committee for the first time since being fired by President Donald Trump in May, it quite possibly will be the biggest piece of political theatre the nation's capital has seen in a generation.FBI即为“Federal Bureau of Investigation美国联邦调查局”的缩写所以,大家对于常见的缩略词一定要熟,这样在考试的时候才能迅速反应过来,省去冥思苦想的时间,把更多的精力放在仔细听题上c)指代现象政治新闻里最常见的指代就是用地址、住所指代机构、人物,如: The White House said that President Donald J. Trump will leave a pro-LGBT Obama executive order intact.这里的White House即为白宫发言人,有时也可用来指代总统本人,总之是个常用的用法英语四级听力答题步骤① 听前:利用每一个题型前的Directions部分,快速浏览1遍选项,根据选项里的关键词,预测一下问题,这样听的时候也能快速找到重点。

At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehi cle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths i s one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending.

In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. B anks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5.

大学英语四级考试听力技巧

大学英语四级考试听力技巧听力能力的提高必须要进行听力训练。

但是如果没认识到听力是受到多种因素制约,而是一味地追求听录音的时间,不注意语言能力的培养,不讲究听力训练的策略的话,是很难有效提高自己的听力水平的。

这里给大家分享一些关于大学英语四级考试听力技巧,供大家学习。

大学英语四级考试听力技巧一、学会预测1. 从答案选项中预测:Q: What does Tom do?A. He’s a truck driver.B. He’s a ship captain.C. He’s a pilot.录音原文:W: Tom flew to Anchorage last night, then took some passengers from there to Dallas . M: Yeah, but he couldnt land because the airport in Dallas was snowed in. 从选项看,问题应是关于职业方面的,再从flew, passengers, airport 这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。

2. 从说话人口气预测:在A,B两人的对话中,如果B是附和或赞成,往往说“Yes”,“I agree”,“Sure”,“I think so”等。

但如A用否定句,B表同意时则用“No”,“Neither / Nor?”等。

例如:A: Harvey doesnt seem to fit into this class. B: No, he is really a fish out of water.二、做简要笔记例:How much will the man pay for the tickets?A.$18B. $24C. $30原文:W: Tickets for the movie are $ 6 for adults, half price for children. M: All right, I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children, please. 笔记可简化为:$ 6 AA代表adult,C代表children,3A+2C或6 A3+ half C2三、听清数据在获取时间信息时,不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。

The gunman entered the hall dressed in black and carrying a shotgun and three handguns and began firing as students sought cover under desks. One student who escaped unharmed told reporters his life had changed as a result of what he experienced. Police say the gunman was StevenKazmierczak,27, a former graduate student in Sociology at the school.Police say he purchased the shotgun and two of the handguns on Saturday, indicating he may have planned the attack in advance,(2) but authorities have not determined a motive for the shooting. Kazmierczak had no criminal record and no history of mental illness.

Others, though, argue that it is nothing short of a currency war--and far from boosting global recovery, it threatens to undermine it.So concerned are policymakers that the issue looks set to dominate talks on Friday at a meeting of finance ministers and central bankers. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, which hosts the meeting in Washington, set out the concerns in the Financial Times on Tuesday.(4)"There is clearly the idea beginning to circulate that currencies can be used as a policy weapon.

In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there havebeen si gns of improvement. That's due in part to the removal of many of the capital's old-fashioned blac k and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in apoor state of repai r.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfortan d because the new cabs are metered, they don't have to argue over fares.

As I'm sure you all know, Morrisonis both a popular and a highly respected author, and it's not easy to be both. Born in 1931,Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-Americanexperience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an “African-American writer” doesn'tseem to do her ju stice. In many ways, she's simply an American writer—and certainly one ofour best.Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize,incl uding the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact wonthe P ulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the NobelPrize fo r literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personals torytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blackswith the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense ofmyst erious spirituality.We'll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I'm particularlyinterest ed in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it moreimportant t hat Sethe, the main character, is black or that she's a woman? Which contributesmore to her bei ng? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison's novel Beloved?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may thinkth at gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and notkn owing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple.If yo u're invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from yourcountr y. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don't give gifts on otheroccasions except on someone's birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, givegifts quite fre quently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving inJapan is very anc ient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of thewrapping paper to the tim e of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don't generallyexchange business gifts, they do fo llow some formal customs when visiting homes, such asbringing flowers. The type and color of flo wers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additionalexamples. But let's not miss the main point here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to culturaldifferences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learnabout these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respectdifferences among p eople in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Herfather was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two herfather to ok her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six shestarted read ing the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York andinvest ed on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15cents. She b ecame one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she marriedEdward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty's meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to theloc al grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone forher m uch loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. Shenever bough t clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when herson Ned fell an d injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking forfree medical help. I n the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with herm oney.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.

What about?A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose partof his pay. That's why we have a clock-in system.A: But the point is the man was clocked-in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.B: Is John reliable?A: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.B: Have you spoken to the man who was late?A: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.B: Well, what do you want me to do?A: I was wondering if you'd see Smith, the man who was late, because you are so much better at handling things like this.B: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the works. I've had the idea for sometime that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connectionwith the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.Q8. What will happen to the press operator who was late for the work according to the woman?Q9. What does the man say about John who stands by the time clock?Q10. Why does the man suggest the woman see the worker who was late?Q11. What does the woman say about Jack Green?Conversation 2A: Our topic today is about somethings that foreigners nearly always say when they visit Britain. It's 'Why are the British so cold?' And they're talking about the British personality – thefamous British 'reserve'. It means that we aren't very friendly, we aren't very open.B: So do you think it's true?A: It's a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain sayit's difficult to make friends with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...B: I think it's true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they're much more open. And you see it when you travel, people - I mean strangers - speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.A: 'Not in London'. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in other parts of the country.B: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She's been working in Manchester for two years,and no one - not one of her colleagues - had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn't believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.A: You know what they say – 'an Englishman's home is his castle'. It’s really difficult to get inside.B: Yeah. It's about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It's your place.A: That's why the British don't like flats. They prefer to livein houses.B: That’s true.Q12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?Q13. What may British people typically do one the train according to the man?Q14. What does the man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?Q15. Why do British people prefer houses to flats?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the conversation you have just heard.16.

At the same time, expenses in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part time job is a good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over for both academic subjects and after-class activities.If you are a college student looking for a part time job, the best place to start your job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job opportunities, and as a student, you’ll automatically be given hiring priority. Plus, on-campus jobs eliminate commuting time, and could be a great way to connect with academic and professional resources at your university. Check withyour school’s career service or employment office for help to find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunities for part-time workoff-campus, too. If you spend a little time digging for the right part time jobs, you’ll save yourself time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school work done, too. If you are a college student looking for work but worry you won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or a library monitor. Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy job, but one with lots of downtime-which means you will have plenty of time to catch up on reading, do homework or study for an exam.Q16: What does the speaker say about college students applyingfor on-campus jobs?Q17: What can students do to find a campus job according to the speaker?Q18: What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?Passage TwoAgricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the tea leaves. It is beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All appears to be well. But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried. Nelson Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40 years.He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profit. He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Its leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled, the drink has a purple color. Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea. They say it is healthier than green tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of green tea.But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop.He says the market for the tea is unstable and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves. Hesays there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea.Q19. Why have tea farmers in Kenya decided to grow purple tea?Q20. What do researchers say about purple tea?Q21. What does Mr. Kibara find about purple tea?Passage ThreeToday's consumers want beautiful handcrafted s to wear and tohave for their home environment. They prefer something unique andthey demand quality. Craftsmen today are meeting this demand. People and homes are showing great change as more and more uniquehandcrafted items become available. Handcrafts are big business. No long does a good craftsman have to work in a job he dislikes all day and then try to create at night. He has earned his professional status. He is now a respected member of society. Parts of the fun of being a craftsman is meeting other craftsmen. They love to sharetheir ideas and materials and help others find markets for their work. Craftsmen have helped educate consumers to make wise choices. They help them become aware of design and technique. They help them relate their choice to its intended use. They often involve consumers intrying the craft themselves. When a group of craftsmen expends to include more members, a small craft organization is formed. Such an organization does a lot in training workshops in special media, craft marketing techniques, craft fairs and sales, festivals, TV appearances and demonstrations. State art councils help sponsor local arts and crafts festivals which draw crowds of tourist consumers.This boosts the local economy considerably because tourists not only buy crafts, but they also use the restaurants and hotels and other services of the area.Q22. What does the speaker say about today's consumers?Q23. What does the speaker say about a good craftsman in the past?Q24. What do craftsmen help consumers do?Q25. Why do state art councilshelp sponsor local arts and crafts festivals?听力参照答案:Section A1. [A] It was dangerous to live in.2. [B] A storm3. [B] They were trapped in an underground elevator.4.

U.S. President Barack Obama has said the time has come for a review on the U.S. immigration system. He made his case at a high school in Las Begas, Nevada, a day after a group of senators outlined a framework for the reform. The White House and senators conceive a path to citizenship for many of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. He noted that the current system was “ out of date and badly broken”. Mr. Obama’s case for an immigration reform reflects a blueprint he rolled out in 2011, though that did not go gar. Mr. Obama now backs the Senate plan

四级短篇新闻听力解题技巧

四级短篇新闻听力解题技巧四级短篇新闻听力解题技巧导语:短篇新闻听力为四级考试听力部分的新增题型。

下面小编为您收集整理了四级短篇新闻听力解题技巧,希望对您有帮助!一、题型透析本部分共有三篇短篇新闻,每篇新闻长度约为120~200词,每篇设置2~3道小题,共7道小题,采用多项选择的形式。

通过分析各类新闻听力真题可知,选材一般都是学生所熟悉的国外知名传媒节目中的新闻报道或短评等,题材多样,涉及文化、教育、体育、人物、经济、自然、科技、生活等方面。

每条新闻篇幅不长,但主题鲜明。

考生在备考时,可以有针对性地拓宽自己的知识面和新闻敏感度。

新闻报道的主要作用是将有报道价值的事件在有限的时间或版面内及时、有效地报道出来。

因此,新闻英语作为信息传播媒介,与其他英语短文相比,具有自己独特的风格。

在做新闻听力时应注意新闻报道里的“六大要素”,即常说的“人物(who)、时间(when)、地点(where)、事件(what)、原因(why)和方式(how)”。

在英语短篇新闻或内容提要中至少包括其中三个要素:who,what和when,这些是新闻报道中最具价值的三要素。

二、 3大设题点通过分析官方给出的短篇新闻样题可以看出,新闻听力的试题根据考查点进行分类,基本上可分为三种:1. 考查对新闻细节的捕捉这类考题的特点是在新闻中几乎可以找到原文的表达,提问的方式为排除或者直接提问其中的一项,也就是对号入座,无需同义转述。

这类考题通常是对多项具体信息的辨别,要求考生能够对新闻中的细节问题准确把握。

对新闻细节的捕捉包括多个方面,如:数字、人物、时间、地点、行为以及事物等各个方面。

这类考题在新闻英语试题中所占的比例最大。

下面以样题为例进行说明:例1: When did the incident occur?A) On Christmas Eve. C) During a security check.B) Just before midnight. D) In the small hours of the morning.原文:The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.答案:C)。

例 3】 The fire were thought to have been started ------. (2005 真题第25题) A. purposefully B. accidentally C. on the Mexican border D. in southern California 分析:首先找出题目中的关键词fire,start 利用句式合并法找出对应的句子: The authority
解题的关键在于找到started deliberately 的同 义转述started purposefully.
said they were seeking two men in connection with the fire,which they believed were started deliberately.
三、听力技巧
a. 浏览题目,根据选项猜题意,从而缩小范围。 b. 集中精神,注意新闻的第一句话。新闻报道的开 头第一句话一般是对整个报道的一个概括。 c. 抓住句子主干,再长的句子也有主谓宾——精听 d. 详略得当,听到个别专用名词,如人名、国名地 名、组织机构名等,不要纠结于此,以免忽略 后面的内容
A
二、造成新闻听力得分低的原因
• 1. 对时事关注度不够 • 新闻反映的是社会各个方面的信息,含括政治、经济、军 事、文化、体育和自然灾害等,这就要求考生在各个领域 都要有一定的常识。 • 2. 对新闻词汇的不了解 • 新闻中的词汇多是正式的书面用词。其次,由于新闻的内 容常与时事相关,因此会出现很多各个领域的专业用语。 如:parliament(议会,国会) ,civilian(平民), hostage(人质) 等。 • 此外,新闻中的人名地名也会给考生造成很大的困惑。

英语听力基础技巧:大学英语四级新闻听力题目
第一点:入门阶段要先了解新闻内容再去听
新闻都具有时效性,所以就相关的内容实行搜索以自己熟悉的语言先大致了解新闻内容,再拿听力材料实行练习。

入门阶段建议这样做,要不一上来去听新闻会觉得陌生而困惑。

练习几次后,再直接实
行新闻听力英文的接触。

第二点:养成良好的听力习惯
大家不要因为一个词或者一个句子没有听懂而中断后续的思路,如果这样的听力习惯会导致整个内容的混乱与丢失。

所以切记不要在
没有听懂的地方过于纠结与停留,因为一点内容没有听懂不会影响到
整个文章内容的听不懂,我们要学会抓大放小,学会放弃。

听不懂的
地方整个听完后再回去反复听,要弄明白没有听懂的原因,可能是某
个单词不理解;某个专业术语意思理解偏差;某个语法不明白导致句子
意思无法理解;或者语速加快导致的;又或者是自己的不专心。

第三点:不要在乎特别难懂的人名或地名
新闻中往往会涉及过多的人名或地名,我们在平时练习时不用过多识记,在考试中也不用被这些次要词妨碍,比如在某国家某小镇发
生的爆炸事件,其中关键性的内容是爆炸事件,而发生的地点则不影
响内容,在题目中也不会问及这些关于国家地点的问题。

第四点:尽快锁定大致内容
新闻的主旨往往在首句处,所以前边内容要认真听清楚,往往一句话概括出内容,后边都是细节介绍。

所以要尽快地抓住文章主旨。

主旨句往往含有内容关键词,比如bus explosion/US election race 等等。

当然也会有Now in sports(现在进入体育新闻)....../Turn to the Middle East(现在转向中东地区)......等简单的表现方式。
