提 高大 学英语 听力的新策 略
蔡 晓春
课 时教授 ２ 个 字母和 ４ ６ ６个音标 ，并将 Ｂ ＣＬａｎ ｇ Ｂ ｅｒｉ ｎ Ｅ ｇｓ ｎｌｈ网站中的音标教学录像 （ ｉ 该教学录像有详尽 的发音讲解和口型图像）下载后提供给学生，以方 便他们在课余进行操练和模仿。语音包括六个方 面 的内容 ：不完全 爆 破 、意 群 、连续 、音 的同化 与失 音 、句子重音及语调 。方法是 ：认真 听 ，注意 模仿 ， 用心识记 ， 并跟老师或录音机纠正，坚持反复训练 和检测。确保学生发音准确后 ， 方可进行词、句 的 训 练 ，然 后逐 步过 渡到段 落 及篇 章 。语音 学 习 是外 语 学习的关键 ，正确 的发 音及 语调 是顺 利进 行 口头 交 际的基 础 ，是 听力能力提高 的必要条件 。 另外， 英美音的差异也是影响学生听力的重要障 碍之一。我 国中小学英语教材所 采用的语 音大多 为英 国音 ，但是进入大学 以后 很多美 国音又出现 ，而且 比 重很大。很多 同学对美音 不适应。所 以在 英语 语音 的 学习中要注意英音和美音的学习，注意对比。不但要 听些英音的听力材料 ，还要听美音的听力材料 。还有 很多同学在 朗读 或者 用英 语对 话 的时候 习惯 性 地拖 音 。这些语音学习的不 良习惯要注意克服。

In-class Listening Materials（1-4）Unit 1 Man and AnimalsPart I In-class ListeningI. Understanding Basic SkillsListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following short conversations and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.1. W: How long do you intend to stay, Mr. Williams?M: I’m not sure. It all depends. Probably I’ll leave as soon as I find another hotel. Q: Where does the man probably stay now?2. W: Tom’s mother told me that Tom was in hospital.M: He left the hospital yesterday and he’ll go to class tomorrow.Q: Where is Tom probably now?3. W: How do you like your new job, Jim?M: Fine. This week I have been reading the financial reports and studying the books. Next week I will probably start to handle some of the accounts.Q: What does the man do for a living?4. W: Your glasses are fine, if you don’t like the frames, perhaps we could change them. M: Actually I was thinking of trying some contact lenses, if you think that I would be able to wear them.Q: To whom is the woman speaking?5. W: Do you believe Jack’s story about being late because his alarm clock had stopped? M: I think he made it up.Q: What does the man mean?6. W: Tom, you really must take school more seriously. If you don’t pass your exam,you’ll have to go out and work.M: I don’t see that it makes much difference. If I have a job, I have to do boring work every day; but if I’m at school, I must listen to boring teachers every day. Q: Which does Tom prefer, work or studying at school?7. W: You still have a social science requirement to fulfill, Jim. You can take history,psychology, anthropology, or sociology. Which do you think you’d like?M: Well, I’ve always been fascinated by the conscious and unconscious reasons people have for acting as they do, and I’d like to learn more about how memory works.Q: Which course will the man probably take?8. W: What time does the library close?M: On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, it closes at five p.m下午. On Tuesday and Thursday, it’s open till nine. It stays open until six on Saturday, but on Sunday it’s closed all day.Q: Which evenings is the library open?9. W: The election will be very close, according to the polls.M: Remember what happened in 1948? At first we all thought that Dewey would win, but, when all the votes were counted, it was Truman instead.Q: What is being discussed?10. W: I never thought I’d see your name on a book cover.M: To tell you the truth, neither did I. I didn’t even get good grades in English.Q: What is the man’s probable profession?II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.Tim: Today someone said I was a pig. I got angry at first, but then I was told that he was talking about my Chinese Zodiac symbol. I was a pig because I was born in the year of the pig.Zhao Lin: Ha ha, we do have this tradition. I am one year younger than you, so I am a mouse. In China, every year is represented by an animal. There are a total of twelve animals so the zodiac follows a twelve-year cycle.Tim: Those animals are …Zhao Lin: They are the mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.Tim: Interesting, but why these 12 animals instead of others?Zhao Lin: According to the legend, during a Chinese new year celebration, Buddha invited all the animals to his kingdom, but unfortunately, for reasons only known to the animals, a total of 12 turned up. The mouse came first, followed by the ox, the tiger, the rabbit and so on and finally the pig. Out of gratitude, Buddha decided to name the year after each of the animals in their order of arrival, and people born of that year would inherit the traits of that particular animal. Some Chinese consider this superstitious, but many truly believe that the signs reveal the hidden secrets of a person’s character. Some people are very careful about the zodiac when choosing their spouse.Tim: Really? If their zodiacs don’t match, will they break up?Zhao Lin: In fact, people all know that a zodiac match cannot be the deciding factor.But there are still many sayings like, sheep and rabbits are ideal partners for pigs, but monkeys and snakes are bad for pigs.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.Jo Shoesmith from Maryland, says the hardest part of her divorce was figuring out what to do with Misha, Nike, Shay, Violet, Momma Kitty and Cotton—the three dogs and three cats she and her ex-husband had cared for during their married years.“The lead-up导致物to the break-up was very rough, especially for Nike, who became so nervous, she would tremble发抖and pace踱步,”Shoesmith told The Christian Science Monitor基督教科学箴言报.“We did not want to put them through any more unnecessary stress.”At the time of the couple’s separation, Shoesmith got sole custody子女单亲监护协议of the cats, with her ex前夫, Martin Stephens from West Virginia, paying “cat support”. The former couple has joint custody共同监护of the dogs. This means that Shoesmith and Stephens travel back and forth between their two homes every other week just to spend time with their pets.The couple separated in 1997, when pet custody监护抚养权was unusual. Today, however, many top law schools, including Harvard, Georgetown and Yale, offer animal law courses on pet custody. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has handled several divorce cases with pet owners, and two law firms in California have partners who specialize in专门研究pet custody.“Certainly there is a giggle factor,” says lawyer David Wolfson, “but this area of the law needed to change to reflect that people do form special bonds with their pets.”Questions:1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?2. How often does the former couple travel between their homes to spend time with their pets?3. Which of the following is true about pet custody nowadays?4. What can we learn from the passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or sentences you hear.Lawmakers in Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province enacted a law on Saturday that is intended to improve protection of the Qinling Mountains, a habitat of endangered giant pandas.The law is aimed at preserving biodiversity,preventing soil erosion水土流失and promoting harmony between man and nature in the mountain range.It requires all future development projects in the Qinling Mountains to be assessed for their possible impact on the ecology and bans real estate projects and polluting industries in nature reserves, where the ecology is more vulnerable. The law also ban s mining采矿and resource exploration in nature reserves and forest parks. According to the law, local governments must ensure immediate demolition of existing projects that are potentially harmful to the ecology.The Qinling range is home to approximately 300 Qinling pandas, a sub-species of giant pandas on the verge of extinction, and many other rare animals稀有动物under state protection, such as golden monkey s, the red ibis and antelopes.Unit 2 GeographyPart I In-class ListeningI. Understanding Basic SkillsListening TaskDirections: In this section, you will hear some information about geography. Listen carefully and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).1. The atmosphere of the Earth is quite thin compared to the radius半径. A very fragile脆弱的layer of gases protects us from the vacuum真空，空间of space. We must be very careful in the way we treat the atmosphere.2. The focus of the earthquake is directly below the epicenter震中. The epicenter is the point directly above the focus on the surface. The focus焦点中心is the true origin of the earthquake.3. Much of our energy is received from the Sun. You will feel the days warm and the nights cool because you are either facing or not facing the Sun. Other energy comes from within the planet. We have a molten iron core融化的铁芯that creates a magnetic field磁场to protect the Earth. There is also molten rock熔岩just below the surface that releases energy into our atmosphere and heats the oceans.4. Climate and weather are very different ideas. Weather describes the current水流conditions. Your weather might be rainy, cloudy, or hot. Climate describes the region’s environment over long periods. While snow is not something you would expect in the climate, variations in weather happen all of the time.5. The biosphere is all about life. Physical geographers地理学者use the term biosphere to describe our living world. This is where all of the trees, bugs臭虫, and animals live in. It also reaches deep into the ground at a dark cave洞穴or to the bottom of the ocean at hydrothermal vents深海热泉.II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following conversation and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.W: Dr. Smith, I’ve got a question here. Well, we talks about erosion侵蚀and the deposit 沉淀of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I’m confused. For that to happen, there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud 泥土or sand or whatever, right? But I thought there weren’t any waves orcurrents 水流that deep in the ocean.M: Tha t’s not exactly correct. It’s true that deep down on the ocean floor we won’t have the same kinds of currents we find in shallow er更浅的parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents浊流. This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means?W: Umh, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn’t that when sediment沉淀物like sand or mud gets stirred up激起，搅拌and mixes with water? And then this mixture flows through the water around it, right?M: Good!W: Uh, but I thought that only happened in rivers.M: Well. Yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well.W: But how do they get started there?M: Earthquakes mostly. When an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up抛起tremendous巨大的amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended悬浮in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much dense r and heavier than other ocean water that it flows right down the slopes斜坡of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it’s just like the winds blowing across the desert沙漠picking up扬起from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.Questions:1. What is the main topic of the conversation?2. What does the professor ask the student to explain?3. According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?4. Why does the professor mention desert winds?III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Advice on how much fertilizer to use will soon be just a phone call away for rice farmers in the Philippines. The Philippine Department of Agriculture and the International Rice Research Institute plan to launch a free service next month. Farmers will call a number and a recorded voice will ask them simple questions. For example, farmers will be asked about the size of their field and how many bags of rice it produced last year. About ten minutes later the farmer will get a text message文字信息. The message will advise what kind of fertilizer to use and how much. The grower will also get suggestions about when to plant and harvest收割the rice.Roland Buresh at the International Rice Research Institute says the service couldhelp farmers in the Philippines increase their yields产量and their profits收益. Danielle Nierenberg at the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research group, says the system could also help reduce pollution.The technology could also be copied for crops in other places. Danielle Nierenberg has been traveling across sub-Saharan Africa. She says the cost of a cell phone there is low enough that most farmers have their own or borrow someone else’s.In Zambia, for example, farmers without bank accounts can use their phones to buy seeds and fertilizers. They can also get information on how much their crop is selling for in city markets. They can decide whether they want to travel all the way from their village to the city, because sometimes farmers get there and prices are too low.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and fill the blanks with the information you’v e heard.The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan.Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes in the past. The Great Kanto Earthquake, the worst in Japanese history, hit the Kanto plain around Tokyo in 1923 and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people. In January 1995 a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and surroundings. Known as the Southern Hyogo Earthquake or Great Hanshin Earthquake, it killed 6,000 and injured 415,000 people. 100,000 homes were completely destroyed and 185,000 were severely damaged.As to the earthquake measurement, the Japanese “shindo” scale for measuri ng earthquakes is more commonly used in Japan than the Richter scale to describe earthquakes. Shindo refers to the intensity of an earthquake at a given location.Every household should keep a survival kit with a flashlight, a radio, a first aid kit and enough food and water to last for a few days. Avoid placing heavy objects in places where they could easily fall during an earthquake and cause injury or block exits. Have a fire extinguisher. Familiarize yourself with the designated evacuation area in your neighborhood.Unit 3 OceanPart I In-class ListeningI.

I’m sorry, I didn’t turn up for the match yesterday, Bob. B ut I couldn’t,I’m afraid.M: Well, it is a bit late to be sorry now, isn’t it?Q: What does the man mean?5. M: Let’s see if the basket ball game has started yet?W: Started?It must be clear who is going to win.Q: What does the woman mean?6. W: I hear Jane has been pretty successful in her job.M: Pretty successful? That is understatement of the year.Q: What does the man imply about Jane?7. W: Mr. Smith’s briefing seems to go on forever. I was barely able to stay awake. M: How could you sleep through that! It is very important.Q: What does the man imply?8. M: I bought a few books at the new bookstore. Would you like to have a look atthem?W: A few! It looks like you bought out the store.Q: What does the woman mean?9. W: Do you enjoy majoring in mathematics?M: Enjoy? If I could choose again, I would study biology.Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the man’s reply?10.W: Would you like a cup of coffee to help you wake up?M: A cup of coffee? I need three or four.Q: What does the man mean?II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following conversation and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.A student is interviewing a weatherman Li Hua.M: Hello, Li Hua. I’m interested in hurricanes飓风whose matchless无比的无敌的power and the loss they cause are often reported in TV news. I wonder how a hurricane form.W: OK! In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical热带的Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea加勒比海. About half of them generate strong circle盘旋的winds of 75 miles per hour or more. At first, these great storms travel aimlessly漫无目的over the sea, hit the coast海岸and form circling disturbance干扰骚乱hundreds even thousands of miles out to the sea. M: Is such a circle disturbance called hurricane?W: No. When the conditions are just right, moist air湿空气flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, the moisture in the warm air produces rain and with the moisture, the heat is converted into energy in form of strong wind. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl旋转in a counter-clockwise逆时针motion.M: How long does a hurricane exist?W: Its average life is only nine days. But it is difficult to imagine how great energy it produces in a single day.M: How great?W: The energy released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for six months.M: Wow! How much rain does a hurricane bring?W: A typical hurricane brings 6-12 inches downpours倾盆大雨, resulting in sudden flood. The water level rises at 15 feet above the normal as it moves toward shore.M: And there, it causes millions of dollars of damage and brings death to large number of people.W: Yeah.M: Thank you very much!W: You’re welcome!Questions:1. When do hurricanes often occur?2. When is a tropic storm considered to be a hurricane?3. In what motion do hurricanes usually begin to swirl as the heat increases?4. On an average how long does a hurricane exist？5. What a rainfall does a hurricane bring?III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific Ocean, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles wide where Columbus crossed it. Even its narrowest is about 2,000 miles wide.Two things make the Atlantic rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also it is the world’s saltiest ocean.There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much water there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water were brought to it by rivers, it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up.One of the largest mountain ranges山脉of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few mountains reach up露出来above the sea and make islands.Ocean currents海洋洋流are sometimes called “rivers in the sea”. One of these “rivers”in the Atlantic is called “the Gulf Stream”. It is a current of warm water. Another is “Labrador Current拉布拉多寒流”. It is a current of cold water. The cold water comes from the Arctic Ocean current北冰洋洋流.Today the Atlantic is a great highway交通干线. However it is not always a smooth and safe one. Storms暴风雨sweep across it and pile up积累great waves. Icebergs float down from the north across of the path of ships.Questions:1. How wide is the Atlantic Ocean where Columbus crossed?2. Which of the following makes the Atlantic Ocean unusual?3. Which of the following is sometimes called “River in the sea”?4. Where does one of the largest mountain ranges of the world rise from?5. What does the “High Way” mean in this passage？Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the words you have heard.The Arctic Ocean is located in the Northern Hemisphere, and almost in the Arctic North polar region. It’s the smallest and shallowest of the world’s five major oceans.The Arctic Ocean is almost completely surrounded by Eurasia, North America, Greenland, and by several islands. It occupies a roughly circular basin and covers an area of 14 million sq. km, almost the size of Russia. The coast line is over 45 thousand km.The Arctic Ocean’s salinity varies seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes. Its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to the low evaporation, heavy freshwater inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic water with higher salinity.The Arctic Ocean holds 25% or more of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas resources.

(Emma and Michael are talking about tropical rain forests.)W: Hi, Michael, how did you enjoy your trip to Brazil?M: Oh, very well. We’ve been to different parts of the country.W: What do you like most about Brazil?M: Its forests. Brazil has one of the largest tropical rain forests in the world.

Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.There are many stories about global warming. You cannot pick up a newspaper or watch TV without hearing about it. There are different opinions on it. A small number of people think that global warming is not real. They say that the earth’s climate has been changing for as long as anyone can remember. Why worry about the changes that are happening today?Most people, on the other hand, take the problem very seriously indeed. Scientists have shown that for the past twenty years the temperature of the earth has been increasing by 0.1℃every year. As the earth gets hotter, ice caps in the North Pole and the South Pole will slowly melt. The level of the oceans will rise. A recent report says the sea will rise by 70 meters in the next five generations.But there will be many more changes. Certain areas of the earth will become wetter, while others will become drier. Areas which today are green and fertile will turn into deserts. Summers will become warmer. Tropical diseases such as malaria will be common in areas where today that are unknown.Why is this happening? For many people the answer is simple—greenhouse gases are allowing more of the infrared heat from sun to reach us on earth. They believe the solution is also simple and lies with each one of us—stop producing greenhouse gases. In other words, stop using your car!Questions:1. What changes will be brought about by global warming?2. Which of the following is true?3. What should we do to stop global warming?4. Which of the following is the most probable title for the passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear.On July the 4th, 2010, Chinese actress Li Bingbing, was designated in Shanghai as the first national Goodwill Ambassador in China for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).As Goodwill Ambassador, Li Bingbing will help UNEP in its mission to generate awareness and understanding of environmental causes, as well as inspire positive action.The new Goodwill Ambassador will help focus attention on some of the biggest threats facing the planet, climate change and environment.“I am honored to have this opportunity to work with UNEP on the environment. I am an environmentalist in my personal life and I try to share this passion with my fans and the wider public,” she said.Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director said: “Li Bingbing is our first G oodwill Ambassador in China and UNEP is delighted to welcome her on board. UNEP commends her personal commitment to a greener lifestyle and her passion to influence the public.”Test OneI. Understanding Basic SkillsDirections: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words, phrases or sentences you hear.All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, however.In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school.Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life.For many years, however, farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods, and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.II. Understanding ConversationsDirections: Listen to the following ten short conversations and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.1. M: The lock on my front door is broken.W: Why don’t you have Mr. Smith fix it? He’s very good.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?。

听到新闻题材时需要抓住关键信息，构建对文章整体的理解。
2. 语言特点新闻语言通常精炼简洁，紧凑有力，表达清晰。
但是在报道不同主题的新闻时，语言难度也会存在差异，有些新闻语言难度会更高。
3. 速度特点新闻听力的速度相对较快，特别是在报道重要事件时，记者会尽量缩短语言，让信息尽快被听众掌握。
因此，用好听力缩写技巧是非常重要的。
二、新闻听力的考试策略1. 有意识地回顾新闻概要和问题在听新闻前，花一两分钟的时间读一下新闻标题、导语和问题，全面了解新闻的大致概况和考察焦点，能够很好地帮助建立一些必要的预期，提高理解能力和对信息的把握度。
2. 放慢听力速度新闻听力考试过程中，通常需要以较快的速度准确地听取新闻以获取重要的信息。
但是考虑到新闻的语言、难度、速度、气氛、情感等因素的影响，我们需要适当放慢自己的速度，便于更好更快地理解新闻内容，减少遗漏信息的可能性。
3. 重复信息在新闻听力中，重复的信息相对较多，因此应该尽可能利用这些信息来获取整个新闻的信息，特别是那些经常出现在新闻中的关键短语或词语，有助于加强记忆，易感性信息须特别重视。
4. 抓关键词结合新闻题目或问题，有意识地听取与问题相关或重要的单词并牢记，这些关键词通常能够帮助我们理解新闻或完成问题。
5. 分析结构和逻辑关系重要的新闻常常有结构或逻辑顺序的关联，因此通过分析文章的结构和逻辑关系，会帮助理解新闻，并在答题时更好的把握文章的主旨，准确回答问题。

2024大学英语六级听力技巧策略
2024大学英语六级听力技巧策略1.2024大学英语六级听力技巧策略篇一1、学会抓关键词在听力过程中，我们要学会抓其中的关键词。
在语段之间的停顿时间，快速浏览选项，对比其不同之处，在听的过程中通过关键词判断说话者的身份，帮助自己搜索相关背景知识。
2、学会划分意群很多人在听的时候都是逐个单词地听，想要听懂每一个单词。
其实这样做是没有必要的，也是很难做到的。
因此，我们要学会划分意群来听，分词组分词块来听会帮助你节省很多时间，并能让你更快地理解句子是什么意思。
3、学会提前思考在听力开始之前，你就要浏览完材料，结合选项开始思考。
这段话要讲什么，目的又是什么。
并学会猜测，包括对话题的预测、甚至通过常识进行答案的预测。
这样才能在考试之中处于主动的位置，所以，听听力要积极主动。
4、学会做笔记好的笔记能够让你的思路清晰，让你了解听力内容的结构。
在听力的开头结尾时就要集中精神，记住相关信息，因为那很有可能就是听力的重点。
有时考点在出题时是按照顺序来出的，因此笔记能帮助我们排除一些干扰选项。
5、学会注意数字要注意以下几方面：常规数字的连读，百分数，分数，小数，百分比，电话号码，航班号，驾照号，信用卡号等等。
2.2024大学英语六级听力技巧策略篇二1、总原则：听前看选项，带着问题去听，听得时候要学会抓重点。
2、边听边记笔记或者边听边做题。
利用每一个小问题之间的间隔时间，大概有13秒左右，可以根据关键信息，做题。
3、只要听到可以确定答案的题目就不用听问题了，直接选。
4、听力篇章文章中重复率很高的词汇或者概念一般就是短文的主题，听到什么就选什么。
3.2024大学英语六级听力技巧策略篇三每天坚持听1套真题听力，每次大概30分钟左右，至少要听3遍：第1遍：先听，做题。
先把答案选出来，不确定的题就先做个记号，分析时可以重点听。
第2遍：对答案，分析错题。
重点听刚刚标注的地方，直到听懂意思，分析干扰选项，可以直接把错题原因拿红笔写在题旁边。

When the concert ended, all the audience stood up to give the orchestra a warm applause. And we couldn‟t tear ourselves away from the music hall.W: Wow, what a wonderful experience!III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.The Origin of JazzJazz is a gift to the world from the American Jacks. It‟s rooted in the music that the black slaves sang as they picked cotton in Alabama. This strange rhythmic chanting, with its African harmonies, was encouraged by the white masters, who knew that it helped to get the work done.In the 1790s the Methodists began to convert the slaves to Christianity. Led by their own black ministers, the blacks worshipped in their own black churches—or out in the open air. Music played an essential part in their services. Before long they had Africanized the music of the Christian hymnbooks.It was the freeing of the slaves in 1865 which finally brought black musicians into the world of entertainment. In that great part of New Orleans, on the Mississippi River, bands of self-taught black musicians found work of another kind. In the colorful, pleasure-loving city, a flourishing “red light” district had grown up. To add to the attractions of their “houses”, the madams hired black bands. These black musicians had heard plenty of western-style music and were undoubtedly influenced by it, but most of them could not read music or write it down. They simply struck up a short theme and then improvised endlessly on it.This improvised music, with its exciting syncopated rhythms, its “African”harmonies, its expression of emotion and mood, became known as jazz.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.When Stevie Morris was born, it looked as though his life would be very hard. Not only was he poor and black, he was also blind from birth. But Stevie was so busy laughing, playing, and enjoying himself that he didn‟t notice how he was different from other children.Almost as soon as he could walk, Stevie showed a love for music. His family was amazed by how quickly Stevie learned to play the toy drum set and the toy harmonica he was given. Despite the handicap, he began to teach himself the piano at the age of seven, and had also mastered drums and harmonica by the age of nine. Soon, Stevie began playing rock and roll music with his friends on the front porch of the apartment building where he lived.When Stevie was only nine years old, he auditioned for Motown Records. When they heard him play, the record company people knew he was something special. They came up with the word “Wonder” surname stating that “We can‟t keep introducing him as the …8th Wonder of the World‟”. And soon Stevie had a new name. He would become world famous as Little Stevie Wonder.Stevie Wonder‟s first hit record, called “Fingertips”, came when he was just twelve years old. As he became an adult, Stevie started producing his own albums and became one of the most popular and influential performers in popular music. “The man has been, probably, the most influential Black Music artist over the last 4 decades.”In 1973, at the height of his fame, Stevie encountered another challenge. A car accident left him badly injured, unable to speak or walk. But Stevie fought back from the accident and soon resumed his place at the top of the pop music charts. Stevie Wonder overcame his own darkness and his music has brought sunshine to the shadow of many other lives.Unit 5 SportsPart I In-class ListeningI.

听力试题的得分往往可以影响大学英语四级考试的成败，所以应该引起考生的足够重视。
相对于长对话和听力篇章而言，考生对新增加的短篇新闻较为陌生。
本文将通过分析英语新闻的特点，为考生提供有效的备考策略，帮助考生尽快熟悉新题型。
二、英语新闻的特点1.英语新闻的导语。
简单说，导语就是新闻的开头。
它用精炼的语言提示新闻要旨，道出新闻中最吸引人、最重要的事实。
导语从大体上可分为直接式导语和延缓式导语。
直接式导语是最常见的一种导语，它会把新闻中最主要、最吸引人的事实，简单直接地概括叙述出来。
延缓式导语又被称为间接式导语，它不会把新闻中最关键的信息直接告诉听众，而是用情节、细节、故事的精彩片段，激发听众的兴趣、好奇心、探知欲，借此引领听众进入新闻事件的核心部分。
2.英语新闻的主体。
主体是新闻的主要部分。
它承接导语，阐述导语所揭示的主题，或回答导语中提出的问题，对新闻事实作具体的叙述与展开。
新闻主体通常采用“倒金字塔”结构，也称“倒三角”结构。

Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks according to what you hear.During the 1980’s, the television adaptation of the Chinese classic novel Dream of Red Mansion (Hong Lou Meng) was a hit throughout China. In the original series, the main character of Lin Daiyu, the well-educated and intelligent young woman, was portrayed in a highly sympathetic light by the actress Chen Xiaoxu. Many people once thought Chen Xiaoxu, herself, was a dream girl.She acted in a total of two series during her brief acting career: Dream of Red Mansion and a TV series adapted from a famous Chinese novel, Family, Spring, Autumn.But it was Dream of Red Mansion that brought her her success and put her at the pinnacle of her acting career. Chen said that at the time, her personality was similar to Lin Daiyu’s: physically fragile, keen on reading and absorbed in art. Once she heard that Dream of Red Mansion was to be cast, she arranged an audition with the director. Despite the director’s initial uncertainty, she firmly and boldly persuaded him, saying, “I am indeed Lin Daiyu. If I don’t play this character, the audience won’t like the series.”Later, Dream of Red Mansion became one of the most popular TV series in China’s history. This helped her to be cast for her second series. However, no matter how hard she tried in acting, she could not change her former image and she was typecast as Lin Daiyu.She clearly understood the challenges before her. She admits that her success in Dream of Red Mansion was mostly because of the similarity between her and the protagonist rather than her acting skills or experience. Even so, she feels lucky that she was able to act in such an outstanding role the very first time, and she was quite satisfied.Thus, she retired from acting and began struggling with her own personal development. She tried different things and encountered numerous obstacles during the following years. It wasn’t until 1991 that s he finally fell into the business world by chance.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and match Hank’s films in Column A with the information in Column B, then write down the years of the movie debuts and its Chinese equivalents according to the model.Thomas J. Hanks was born on July 9th, 1956, in Concord, California. He is a direct descendant of an uncle of Nancy Hanks, the mother of Abraham Lincoln. His parents split when he was five. His father left his mother and took the kids with him.Hanks lived in at least ten towns as a child, and had two stepmothers and three stepfathers. He claimed that he can’t remember the names of some of the 11 step-siblings he had along the way.However, experience didn’t prevent the young Hanks from realizing his dreams. He started acting in high school when it became clear that he wasn’t good at sports. It was to pursue acting that he moved to California State University at Sacramento. There he met with Samantha Lewes, a girl who later became his first wife.The fully formed Tom Hanks, the everyman superstar with the rambling, over-emotional Oscar speeches, dates from 1993. That was the year he combined theromantic comedy success of Sleepless in Seattle with Philadelphia, his first big drama, for which he won an Oscar.In 1994, Hanks starred in the Academy Award winning film Forrest Gump, which made him one of the most popular movie stars in Hollywood. Forrest Gump, who was unfortunately born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, was considered unsuccessful in doing anything. However, this unlucky man achieved lots of incredible success. He was once a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire! Actually, Hanks is far from stupid despite his ridiculous character in Forrest Gump. Everyone who meets him insists that Hanks is brighter than the characters he plays, which is quite rare for an actor.In 1998, he co-starred with Meg Ryan in the romantic comedy You’ve Got Mail, a tale of email romance. He was then taken as a timid man due to his vivid performance in the movie. But the idea that Hanks was timid was blown away in 2000 by the story of the making of his another film, Cast Away. To play the Federal Express employee stranded on a Pacific island, he managed to lose 40 pounds, not to mention surviving a dangerous leg infection. In Cast Away Hanks is alone on screen for 75 minutes, something of an attempt by the actor to stretch himself.Audiences seek reassurance that there is goodness in the world from him. Hanks, as Steven Spielberg has said, is “the most moral man I have ever known.”Unit 8 MoneyPart I In-class ListeningI.

Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and choose the best answers to the following questions.W: Welcome to our studio, Mr Baker. And good evening, everyone. Mr Baker is an economist on consumption. Oh, Mr Baker, how do you view American’s way of spending nowadays?M: Well, nowadays most Americans prefer to spend before saving. They do start using credit cards for everyday purchases. Besides this, they have to burden the bigger mortgage for their cars, houses with several bedrooms because the interest rates are getting higher and higher.W: How do you characterize their spending?M: We are transforming into a credit card nation. Our motto used to be “Save for a rainy day,” now it’s “Borrow today, pay back whenever.”W: But people just see it differently; perhaps they are pure optimistic.M: Yes, pure optimistic. The interest rates are rising. Look at the table on the screen;we can see the drastic rise in recent years. That is not just a problem for the cardholders. We worry it could be a strain on spending nationwide.W: Really? Could you tell the audience why?M: Many card companies encourage the consumers to spend, sometimes just beyond their means to pay back. So the consumers have to reduce their standard of living, which is bad news for the economy. They have to worry about their mortgage, auto loans, etc.W: What would happen if the consumers cannot return the money on time?M: That depends on the amount of the money you spend. Also your credit score could be used to determine what rate you pay on your credit card. With one exception,you will receive penalties.W: So it’s hard to imagine.M: It’s little known that almost half of the profits of the credit card companies comes from the penalties and fees, though they claim that 0% on purchase, 0% on balance transfer.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false.A student credit card? Is it right for me, and can it help me pay for expenses online such as online courses, music, language-learning materials, or even a degree? Actually, the answer might be yes or no, depending on your circumstances. Of course, probably the best advice is to save up and then make purchases with cash. Unfortunately, different online services often require a credit card. Here are some ideas to getting a credit card. First of all, obtaining a student credit card is becoming easier, and many banks are offering such cards to students in this growing market. From a student’s perspective, i t allows a person to pay for things online that only can be purchased on credit. Furthermore, it can help students build a good credit history that is often needed later for bigger purchases like a car or house. In spite of these advantages, students have to be careful because interest rates on such cards are often higher and have higher penalties if you fail to pay on time. Furthermore, students may spend well beyond their means and end up in debt because they can’t pay off. Perhaps a happy medium is for students to get a credit card that has a credit limit, and money for purchases is just deducted from existing funds from a student’s account. Thus, it operates like a checking account, and when the student’s spending reaches the credit limit, he can’t conti nue to spend. Before you decide to get a student credit card, look carefully at the agreement terms for each bank and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each. Searching the Internet for such offers will give you a good start of what to look for in a bank.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks according to what you hear.The use of money has a long history. Thousands of years ago people used certain commodities such as metals, shells, stones, grain, and other things as mediums of exchange. Instead of merely trading goods for goods, people began to exchange these early forms of “money” for monly used metals were gold and silver. These metals had certain qualities that are desirable in any form of money. They were durable, easily recognized, divisible, and uniform. They also had the advantage of exchanging a little for a lot.About 600 BC, coinage was invented. Metal, which had formerly been used as money, was improved. It was cut into pieces of same weight and quality and was certified by the seal of the issuing authority. Since coinage had uniformity, buyers and sellers no longer had to weigh and test the metal for every transaction. Prices were still decided in terms of the amount of gold or silver one should offer or demand forother goods, but the new coinage form made the use of money much more convenient.Even though the Chinese had begun to use paper money, the only money in Europe was in the form of coins. Money made of paper is not as heavy as money made of metal, and large amounts may be more easily transported. Yet paper money can be copied if there were nothing to make it genuine, and the paper must be strong enough to be carried. Although many mistakes were made and the paper money often became valueless, people gradually learned how to issue it properly and how to maintain its value. Today coins have been almost entirely replaced by paper money except for small transactions. In fact, much business is transacted by checks or money orders issued by banks without the use of actual money.IV. RelaxationDirections: Listen to the tongue twisters and repeat.1.

Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.The Traffic Light Guide to Staying Slim“You are what you eat.”is a popular American saying, and what you eat can sometimes destroy your health. According to modern research, certain foods may do good to our health while others do harm. And for a number of foods you have to limit their intake. If you want to stay slim, you can follow “the traffic light guide” for the purpose.According to “the traffic light guide”, foods can be divided into three groups: red food group, amber food group and green food group. Red food group refers to the foods that contain high calorie, such as sugar, sweets, chocolate, cakes, biscuits, cream, cooking oil, fat meat, chips and peanuts. When eating them, you have to stop and think. That is, to stay slim, you cannot eat too much of them. Amber food group contains the foods like sausage, eggs, milk, cheese, thick soup, bread, rice and potatoes. To keep slim, you should be careful with their intake. In green food group are such foods as fresh fruit, green vegetable, fish, chicken and clear soups. You can eat them as much as you like without worrying about becoming fat. You can use the three groups to choose what you eat and decide how much you eat. The most important thing is to discover a reasonable balance which suits you.Remember: it is easier to stay slim than to lose weight once you’ve put it on. A little care in choosing what you eat and regular exercise will go a long way to keep you slim and healthy.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words, phrases or sentencesyou hear.For thousands of years, people have used Yoga to help search for happiness and contentment. Students of Yoga often study for as long as 20 years before becoming masters, or Yogis. They learn many different physical exercises. These exercises are designed to put the students in good physical condition. Then they can concentrate on deep religious thoughts without worrying about physical discomforts.Many Yoga exercises involve putting the body into difficult positions. Some of them are very hard to learn. Have you ever tried to fold your legs over one another? This is one of the basic Yoga positions. It is called the lotus position. Most people find it difficult to stay in that position for even a few minutes. But Yogis train themselves to remain in the lotus position for hours or even days. They are taught to overcome the physical discomforts of holding these positions.Other exercises and rules teach concentration, or meditation. Yogis believe this is the key to finding inner peace. Yogis practice meditation. They claim that it makes them feel relaxed and peaceful. Some say that it makes them feel physically better while others believe that it is a way to achieving a strong religious feeling. These people say that meditation helps them feel much closer to God.Unit 10 MoviesPart I In-class ListeningI.

2、扩充词汇量词汇是听力理解的基础。
不仅要掌握常见的四级词汇，还要注重积累一些与日常生活、学术场景等相关的高频词汇。
可以通过阅读英文材料、背单词软件等方式来扩充词汇量。
3、培养英语语感多听英语广播、看英语电影或电视剧、听英语歌曲等，让自己沉浸在英语环境中。
这样可以帮助我们熟悉英语的语音、语调、语速，培养语感，从而提高听力理解能力。
二、日常练习技巧1、精听与泛听相结合精听是指认真听一篇听力材料，听懂每一个单词和句子，并进行分析和总结。
可以选择历年四级真题、英语新闻等作为精听材料。
泛听则是广泛地听各种英语素材，不求完全听懂，主要是为了培养语感和熟悉英语语言环境。
2、做听力笔记在听力过程中，适当做笔记可以帮助我们记住关键信息。
例如，记录数字、时间、地点、人物等重要细节。
但要注意，笔记不要做得过于详细，以免影响对后续内容的倾听。
3、模拟考试环境定期进行模拟考试，按照四级考试的时间和要求来完成听力部分。
这样可以让我们适应考试的紧张氛围，提高答题速度和准确性。
三、考试中的应对策略1、提前浏览选项在听力考试开始前，会有一定的时间让我们浏览选项。
充分利用这段时间，快速浏览选项，了解题目内容和主题，推测可能出现的听力内容，做到心中有数。
2、抓住关键信息在听力过程中，要集中注意力，抓住关键信息。
例如，开头和结尾往往包含重要内容，转折词（but、however 等）后面通常是重点，以及重复出现的词汇可能是关键信息。
