2014大学英语四`六级听力解题思路与答题技巧
• • • • •
听力短文的解题技巧 1．注意理解全文主题的大意 2．注意不同体裁短文的特点 3．注意不同体裁短文的特点 4．注意记住关键信息词
• 复合式听写的解题技巧 • 复合式听写材料就体裁而言多为说明文,特点是主题鲜明, 条理清晰,层次分明,语言简练,逻辑性强。文中留有11个空 格,其中1 - 8要求准确填入所听到的单词,空格9 - 11则要求 填入所听到的句子或用自己的话对之加以表述。
• 3. 在把握细节的基础上,我们要全面掌握整体意思,排除貌 合神离的选项。在所提供的四个选项中,有三个是干扰项, 干扰项的设计通常是提供一个读音与对话中某一词组十分 相似的选项或提供一个在对话中出现过的词,以达到干扰 效果。
• 4.做听力题时,要注意谈话的环境,重点听主要信息和目的, 不要试图听清每一个词。听力测试的设题目的是考查我们 对于对话主要内容的全面把握,而不是像听写一样,去听清 每一个词。
• 3. 数字类:一般来说需要进行简单的换算,这类题目比较简 单,是听力中的拿分题。
• 4. 人物关系及身份类:此类对话提供一个情节,能反映所涉 及人的关系或身份。人物关系及身份类题型几乎每次考试 都会出现,我们可以通过抓关键的特征词来判断。四级听 力中常见的人物关系及身份有teacher and student, librarian and student, shop assistant and customer, doctor and patient, waiter (waitress) and customer。
• 听力长对话的解题技巧 • 听力长对话是四级考试中的一大难点,它篇幅长、信息量 大,因此做这部分题时,技巧的运用就显得很有必要。
• 一、分析选项,把握方向。 命题人设置选项的依据是自己所出的问题,因此每个选项 都是有意义的。如果我们去掉选项的枝叶,提取它们的共 同点,就会得、听重点,抓关键,悟语气。 1. topic sentence 是关键。英文对话有个特点——总 分结构:回答者总是先说general idea,然后再讲detail,或者 exact explanation,因此注意首句,抓topic,将会减轻很多听 力负担。

七、与对话主题或其余选项内容不同的选项往往不是答案 如果某⼀选项明显与对话主题不相关，那么该选项往往不是答案。
如果某⼀选项明显与其他三个选项内容不同，即与该题主题明显不相关的选项往往不是答案。
【例8】(新06-12- 19) 【预览选项】 19. [A] He picked up some apples in his yard. [B] He cut some branches off the apple tree. [C] He quarreled with his neighbor over the fence. [D] He cleaned up all the garbage in the woman’s yard. 20. [A] Trim the apple trees in her yard. [B] Pick up the apples that fell in her yard. [C] Take the garbage to the curb for her. [D] Remove the branches from her yard. 21. [A] File a lawsuit against the man. [B] Ask the man for compensation. [C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down. [D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard. 22. [A] He was ready to make a concession. [B] He was not prepared to go to court. [C] He was not intimidated. [D] He was a bit concerned. 【听前预测】 由各选项中的apple, tree, yard, branches, trim(修剪)等词可推知对话主题应该与苹果树枝条和院⼦有关，再根据选项中出现的quarreled, lawsuit(诉讼), compensation(赔偿), concession(让步), court(法庭)等词可推知对话还可能涉及到对话双⽅的争吵。

短对话部分一、短对话听力的一些原则1. 推理原则：一般需对对话进行推理，故直接在对话中听到的一般不是正确答案。
2. 挫折原则：通常要办的事情都是不顺利的(如买东西买不到，订房间客满等)3. 男女原则：一般男生比较衰，女生比较牛。
男生提出的观点女生都是不同意或有不同看法的，反之女生提出的观点男生都是同意和赞赏的。
①男生的特征：脏、乱、差、浪费、穷、小气、不良习惯、迟钝、不顾家②女生的特征：爱干净、节约、富有、好学、能干、聪明、大度、耐心、恋家、除数理化外成绩都很好4.父母一般只有一个作用：教育子女好好学习5.除了父母教育子女外，家里(包括朋友家，阿姨家等等)发生的事情一般是不考的，故遇到地点推测题类似at home / at Mary’s home之类的选项一般都是不对的。
6.四级听力短对话只考日常生活学习中遇得到事情，问题，故如果选项中出现一些日常生活中不太可能发生或很少发生的事情一般不会是正确选项二、短对话十大场景及一般思路1.借车：车一般是借不到的2.吃：匹萨，海鲜吃了一般会有不适反应，“派（pie）”一般比较好吃3.考试：作业、论文一般比较难，或须要熬夜教授一般比较严厉选修课较难较多4.坐车(飞机、轮船)：一般都需要等5.事故(灾难)：光明原则，一般不会死人6.听讲座：题目一般是比较有趣丰富的，内容一般是比较复杂难懂的7.论文：一般需要修改(polish)或重写(rewrite)8.休闲：男生一般喜欢待在家里看TV或者看movie，女生一般喜欢高雅艺术如theater9.医院：需要预约make

2014年大学英语四级考试听力笔记讲义提供给个各位考生备考，预祝大家取得好成绩！1、短对话题型分类：Section A考题为六种题型。
无论每个考题的具体内容是什么，考题的题型总在重复。
我们要培养解类型题的能力。
比如在态度方向题中，每个考题的内容肯定不同。
但题型高度一致，解题的方向也必然相同。
如：Would you go to dance with me tonight?第二人的回答只有两种Yes或No。
我们要听的是第二个人的态度方向。
这个题问去跳舞吗?而另外的一个完全不同的考题可能会问去看电影吗?去音乐会吗?去野餐吗?去看比赛吗?这些不同的考题在我们的耳朵里就应该是同一类考题。
我们要听的是：他在问去还是不去?第二人要回答Yes还是No。
而解题点即正确选项一定就在第二人的回答的开头。
听力范围：Campus life考察对象：College students(在什么都没听清的情况下，异性猜classmate，同性猜roommate)一、语音问题：连读小练习1. rush hour 高峰时间，尖峰时刻;2. cheer up 使振奋，使高兴;3. check (it) out 借书;办理出院手续;彻底检查;退房(check in 开房);4. travel agent 旅行社(travel agency, travel bureau);financial aid 经济资助;5. turn down 关掉，拒绝;turn on 打开二、口语问题：注意语气，语调，语汇。
例如：1. tape 胶带;cassette 磁带。
2. project 作业(homework, assignment);工程;项目;计划;任务。
3. awful 糟糕的;terrific 特别棒的，好极了(口语中);可怕的，恐怖的(阅读中)。
4. I can tell that. 我能看得出。
5. I understand that... 我听说……。
2014年6月大学英语四级考试真题答案超级详解
文档简介本文分为真题和答案详解两部分，2-25页为答案详解，26- 页为纯“真题”，请在按时按量完成真题后再对照答案。
听力攻略：平时多听多读，此外还要注意重音、连读、爆破、重读、弱读、升降调以及说话者语气等语音知识，听起来，太老生常谈了，在这里，建议各位童鞋每天睡前听半小时听力，想当年备战高考的时候，就是这样被我们英语老师带出沟的。
睡前听英语听力，不亚于快速催眠疗法，让我睡得更快睡得更香，但也让我的高考英语稀里糊涂地考了138分，后面准备四六级等各种英语考试，也都坚持睡前听听力，听力从没有拉过后腿，都是一次性通过。
其实，听力就是一个“磨耳朵”的过程，不管你是醒着、还是睡着了，科学实验以及本人实践证明，都是有效果的。
词汇战术：背四六级词汇，最让我们头疼的可能就是要掌握同一个单词在不同语境中的不同意思，也就是“一词多义”，更让我们头疼的是，四六级考试喜欢考察的往往不是该单词最常见的含义，因此常常出现一个单词难倒英雄汉的情况。
身为过来人，我认为，在阅读和做题中，采取“具体语境具体分析”战略来理解、记忆单词，绝对是明智之选。
做题，在质不在量，历年真题，是各位童鞋备战四六级最最珍贵的资料，没有之一。
我们可以这样说，近六年内的真题已经将四六级要求掌握的词汇和语法点全部网罗在内。
所以，本文帮助你将单词和语法放到真题中理解，每个重点词汇在本文本句中的意思，在右下角都有详细解释，以方便大家在具体语境加以记忆，既深入理解了文章，又牢牢掌握了词汇。
语法：关于语法，其实英语语法不难，难就难在长句子。
我们将四六级考试中出现的长句子比作一棵枝繁叶茂的大树，文中用红色下划线标出或加上底纹的成分，就是它的主干，承载了这句话的核心思想，剩下的就是它的枝和叶，主要起修饰作用。
这样划分是为了让我们思路更加清晰，更好地把握句子和文章的主旨。
看懂了文章，才能做得对题，几乎90%的阅读题都能从原文中找到答案，各位童鞋对照答案的时候，会发现，我都在文章中标注了每道题的答案出处，请留心。

but different in meaning in the two cultures.For example,a Colombian who wants someone to【B2】______him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped,point downward as they move rapidly【B3】______.Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely,but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away,quite the【B4】______of the Colombian gesture.Again,in Colombia,a speaker of English would have to know that when he【B5】______height he must choosebetween different gestures depending on whether he is【B6】______a human being or an animal.If he keeps the palm of the hand【B7】______the floor,as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child,for example,he will very likely be greeted by laughter;in Colombia this gesture is 【B8】______for the description of animals.In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand【B9】______to the floor.Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also【B10】______moments.In both of the examples above,speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture,physically,but its meaning differs sharply.27．【B1】28．【B2】29．【B3】30．【B4】31．【B5】32．【B6】33．【B7】34．【B8】35．【B9】36．【B10】Part III Reading ComprehensionSection AMany Brazilians cannot read.In2000,a quarter of those aged15and older were

apps(应用程序)for phones and tablets(平板电脑)gathered at an old beach resort in Monterey,California,to show off their games.The gathering was organized by Warren Buckleitner,a longtime reviewer of interactive children's media.Buckleitner spent the breaks testing whether his own remote-control helicopter could reach the hall's second story,while various children who had come with their parents looked up in awe(敬畏)and delight.But mostly they looked down, at the iPads and other tablets displayed around the hall like so many open boxesof candy.I walked around and talked with developers,and several quoted a famous saying of Maria Montessori's,"The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence."B)What,really,would Maria Montessori have made of this scene?The30or so children here were not down at the shore poking(戳)their fingers in the sand or running them along stones or picking seashells.Instead they were all inside, alone or in groups of two or three,their faces a few inches from a screen,their hands doing things Montessori surely did not imagine.C)In2011,the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its policy on very young children and media.In1999,the group had discouraged television viewing for children younger than2,citing research on brain development that showed this age group's critical need for"direct interactions with parents and other significant care givers."The updated report began by acknowledging that things had changed significantly since then.In2006,90%of parents said that their children younger than2consumed some form of electronic media. Nevertheless,the group took largely the same approach it did in1999, uniformly discouraging passive media use,on any type of screen,for these kids.(For older children,the academy noted,"high-quality programs"could have"educational benefits.")The2011report mentioned"smart cell phone" and"new screen"technologies,but did not address interactive apps.Nor did it bring up the possibility that has likely occurred to those90%of American parents that some good might come from those little swiping(在电子产品上刷)fingers.D)I had come to the developers'conference partly because I hoped that this particular set of parents,enthusiastic as they were about interactive media, might help me out of this problem,that they might offer some guiding principle for American parents who are clearly never going to meet the academy's ideals, and at some level do not want to.Perhaps this group would be able to express clearly some benefits of the new technology that the more cautious doctors weren't ready to address.E)I fell into conversation with a woman who had helped develop Montessori Letter Sounds,an app that teaches preschoolers the Montessori methods of spelling.She was a former Montessori teacher and a mother of four.I myself have three children who are all fans of the touch screen.What games did her kids like to play,I asked,hoping for suggestions I could take home."They don't play all that much."Really?Why not?"Because I don't allow it.We have a rule of no screen time during the week, unless it's clearlyeducational."No screen time?None at all?That seems at the outer edge of restrictive,even by the standards ofovercontrolling parents."On the weekends,they can play.I give them a limit of half an hour and then stop.Enough."F)Her answer so surprised me that I decided to ask some of the other developers who were also parents what their domestic ground rules for screen time were. One said only on airplanes and long car rides.Another said Wednesdays and weekends,for half an hour.The most permissive said half an hour a day,which was about my rule at home.At one point I sat with one of the biggest developers of e-book apps for kids,and his family.The small kid was starting to fuss in her high chair,so the mom stuck an iPad in front of her and played a short movie so everyone else could enjoy their lunch.When she saw me watching,she gave me the universal tense look of mothers who feel they are being judged."At home," she assured me,"I only let her watch movies in Spanish."G)By their reactions,these parents made me understand the problem of our age: as technology becomes almost everywhere in our lives,American parents are becoming more,not less,distrustful of what it might be doing to their children. Technological ability has not,for parents,translated into comfort and ease.On the one hand,parents want their children to swim expertly in the digital stream that they will have to navigate(航行)all their lives;on the other hand,they fear that too much digital media,too early,will sink them.Parents end up treating tablets as precision surgical(外科的)instruments,devices that might perform miracles for their child's IQ and help him win some great robotics competition—but only if they are used just so.Otherwise,their child could end up one of those sad,pale creatures who can't make eye contact and has a girlfriend who lives only in the virtual world.H)Norman Rockwell,a20th-century artist,never painted Boy Swiping Finger on Screen,and our own vision of a perfect childhood has never been adjusted to accommodate that now-common scene.Add to that our modern fear that every parenting decision may have lasting consequences—that every minute of enrichment lost or mindless entertainment indulged(放纵的)will add up to some permanent handicap(障碍)in the future—and you have deep guilt and confusion.To date,no body of research has proved that the iPad will make your preschooler smarter or teach her to speak Chinese,or alternatively that it will rust her nervous system—the device has been out for only three years,not much more than the time it takes some academics to find funding and gather research subjects.So what is a parent to do?47．The author attended the conference,hoping to find some guiding principles for parenting in the electronic age.48．American parents are becoming more doubtful about the benefits technology is said to bring to their children.49．Some experts believe that human intelligence develops by the use of hands.50．The author found a former Montessori teacher exercising strict control over her kids'screen time.51．Research shows interaction with people is key to babies'brain development.52．So far there has been no scientific proof of the educational benefits of iPads.53．American parents worry that overuse of tablets will create problems with their kids'interpersonal relationships.54．The author expected developers of children's apps to specify the benefits of the new technology.55．The kids at the gathering were more fascinated by the iPads than by the helicopter.56．The author permits her children to use the screen for at most half an hour a day.Section CWhen young women were found to make only82percent of what their male peers do just one year out of college,many were at a loss to explain it.All the traditional reasons put forward to interpret the pay gap—that women fall behind when they leave the workforce to raise kids,for example,or that they don't seek as many management roles—failed to justify this one. These young women didn't have kids yet.And because they were just one year removed from their undergraduate degrees,few of these women yet had the chance to go after(much less decline)leadership roles.But there are other reasons why the pay gap remains so persistent.The first is that no matter how many women may be getting college degrees,the university experience is still an unequal one.The second is that our higher education system is not designed to focus on the economic consequences of our students'years on campus.Now that women are the majority of college students and surpass men in both the number of undergraduate and advanced degrees awarded,one might think the college campus is a pretty equal place.It is not.Studies show that while girls do better than boys in high school,they start to trail off during their college years.They enroll in different kinds of classes,tend to major in less rigorous(非常严格的)subjects,and generally head off with less ambitious plans.As a result,it's not surprising that even the best educated young women enter the workplace with a slight disadvantage.Their college experience leaves them somewhat confused,still stumbling(栽倒)over the dilemmas their grandmothers'generation sought to destroy.Are they supposed to be pretty or smart?Strong or sexy(性感的)?All their lives,today's young women have been pushed to embrace both perfection and passion—to pursue science and sports, math and theater—and do it all as well as they possibly can.No wonder they are not negotiating for higher salaries as soon as they get out of school.They are too exhausted,and too scared of failing.57．Traditionally,it is believed that women earn less than men because______. A．they have failed to take as many rigorous coursesB．they do not feel as fit for management rolesC．they feel obliged to take care of their kids at homeD．they do not exhibit the needed leadership qualities58．What does the author say about America's higher education system?A．It does not offer specific career counseling to women.B．It does not consider its economic impact on graduates.C．It does not take care of women students'special needs.D．It does not encourage women to take rigorous subjects.59．What does the author say about today's college experience?A．It is different for male and female students.B．It is not the same as that of earlier generations.C．It is more exhausting than most women expect.D．It is not so satisfying to many American students.60．What does the author say about women students in college?A．They have no idea how to bring out their best.B．They drop a course when they find it too rigorous.C．They are not as practical as men in choosing courses.D．They don't perform as well as they did in high school.61．How does the author explain the pay gap between men and women fresh from college?A．Women are too worn out to be ambitious.B．Women are not ready to take management roles.C．Women are caught between career and family.D．Women are not good at negotiating salaries.Reading leadership literature,you'd sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader.I don't believe that to be true.In fact,I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who are sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities.Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to(追求)leadership in the first place.We've all met the type of individual who simply must take charge.Whether it's a decision-making session,a basketball game,or a family outing,they can't help grabbing the lead dog position and clinging on to it for dear life.They believe they're natural born leaders.Truth is,they're nothing of the sort.True leaders don't assume that it's their divine(神圣的)right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite.A great leader will assess each situation on its merits,and will only take charge when their position,the situation,and/or the needs of the moment demand it.Many business executives confuse leadership with action.They believe that constant motion somehow generates leadership as a byproduct.Faced withany situation that can't be solved by the sheer force of activity,they generate a dust cloud of impatience.Their one leadership tool is volume:if they think you aren't working as hard as they think you should,their demands become increasingly louder and harsher.True leaders understand the value of action,of course,but it isn't their only tool.In fact,it isn't even their primary tool.Great leaders see more than everyone else:answers,solutions,patterns,problems,opportunities.They know it's vitally important to do,but they also know that thinking,understanding, reflection and interpretation are equally important.If you're too concerned with outcomes to the extent that you manipulate and intimidate others to achieve those outcomes,then you aren't leading at all, you're dictating.A true leader is someone who develops his or her team so that they can and do hit their targets and achieve their goals.62．What does the author think of the leaders he knows?A．Many of them are used to taking charge.B．Few of them are equal to their positions.C．Many of them fail to fully develop their potential.D．Few of them are familiar with leadership literature.63．Why are some people eager to grab leadership positions?A．They believe they have the natural gift to lead.B．They believe in what leadership literature says.C．They have proved competent in many situations.D．They derive great satisfaction from being leaders.64．What characterizes a great leader according to the author?A．Being able to take prompt action when chances present themselves. B．Having a whole-hearted dedication to their divine responsibilities. C．Having a full understanding of their own merits and weaknesses. D．Being able to assess the situation carefully before taking charge. 65．How will many business executives respond when their command fails to generate action?A．They reassess the situation at hand.B．They become impatient and rude.C．They resort to any tool available.D．They blame their team members.66．What is the author's advice to leaders?A．Concentrate on one specific task at a time.B．Use different tools to achieve different goals.C．Build up a strong team to achieve their goals.D．Show determination when faced with tough tasks.PartⅣTranslation67．中国应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2％。

In detail, people with an education degree of college or above earns at least 300 dollars more every week than those with a lower one. Consequently, this chart has forcefully proved that the more one invests in education, the morehe or she will earn.The result from the above chart can do lots of benefits. Firstly, it’s good persuasion for those who hold education is time-and money-consuming. The chart has vividly shown that education is a worthy payment. Secondly, for the majority of young undergraduates who are worried about their future incomes, it provides a good impetus. Thirdly, those who think education is significant will be more confident and work harder.As for me, it is no doubt that education is beneficial. For one thing, education plays a crucial role in personal growth of career. For another, education is the prospect of a nation. To conclude, we should bear in mind the significance of education and study hard.另一篇：Education PaysFrom the above chart, we can see that the higher the degree of education one obtains, the less likely one is to be unemployed. According to the chart, 1.9% of people with doctoral degree will suffer form unemployment. However, the unemployment rate of people low degree is up to 14.9%.Many reasons account for this phenomenon. First of all, people with higher level of education have wider range of knowledge and higher ability which make them more competitive in their career and less likely to be laid off. Furthermore, because of the booming of high technologies in modern society, people with higher education will be easier to land and hold a job. Besides, those with low educational background are easily be replaced any time due to the fact that their jobs are easy and can be finished by average people.As for me, educational background plays a crucial role in the future careers. For one thing, we should study hard to improve our ability. For another, we should engaging in a challenging job in future. To conclude, we should grasp more knowledge to prepare future careers. 亮点句式一、描述图表1. 正如（上面）图表中显示的，中国人的饮食已经有了一些明显的变化译文： 2. 根据图表中给出的数据可知，网上购物正变得越来越流行。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.TEXT AAfter breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground. Here the day-boys were gradually assembling. They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed. Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school. This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two under masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr. Watson, who taught the first form. To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second. Philip was put in the last. The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice; he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly. Philip was surprised when it was quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground. The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls. They began to play Pig in the Middle. The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words said - one, two, three, and a pig for me - he became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free. Philip saw a boy running past and tried to catch him, but his limp gave him no chance; and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered. Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip’s clumsy run. Other boys saw it and began to lau gh; then they all copied the first; and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming with shrill laughter. They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment. One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee. They laughed all the louder when he got up. A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him. The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip’s deformity. Philip was completely scared. He could not make out why they were laughing at him. His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life. He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing; they shouted to him to try and catch them; but he did not move. He did not want them to see him run any more. He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.81. From the beginning of the passage we learn that ________.A. some pupils came from the local areaB. the school only accepted day-boysD. Philip’s class was part of the senior schoolC. the school had only three classes82. What was Philip’s reaction to his class?A. He thought class was too short.B. He found his class surprising.C. He seemed to have enjoyed it.D. He wanted to change class.83. In the game Philip lost his ground because ________.A. the game wasn’t fit for new boys like himB. the playground wasn’t big enough for the gameC. he did not know the rules of the gameD. he could not run as quickly as other boys84. What did the boys do after Philip lost his ground?A. They continued with the game.B. They stopped to make fun of him.C. They changed to another game.D. They stopped and went inside.85. How did Philip feel in the end?A. He was ashamed of himself.B. He was very nervous.C. He was really horrified.D. He felt himself stupid.TEXT BFor parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropri ate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest research study that reported students’ emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985. While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs. At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress. Let me show five facts that I believe every college student should know about stress.First, stress can make smart people do stupid things. Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.Second, the human body doesn’t discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one. Any stressful experience will create about 1,400 biochemical events in your body. If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.Third, stress can become your new pattern. When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state. This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.Fourth, stress can be controlled. Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional state using emotion-refocusing techniques. These techniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.One technique involves slowing your thoughts and focusing on your heartbeat, breathing slowly and deeply, and focusing on the positive feeling that you receive.Finally, stress can be lessened by loving what you study. Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy. It's suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy. Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.86.The author cites the latest research study in order to show that ________.A.students are studying harder in collegeB. most students have part-time job nowC. stresscontinues to the time of graduation D. students only feel stressed while in school87.According to the passage, stress might cause all the following negative effects EXCEPT ________.A.socialB. mentalC. emotionalD. physical88.In the author’s opinion, stress can be controlled by ________.A.doing what you preferB. identifying your present emotional state firstC. finding a more positive feeling firstD. focusing on your emotional state89.According to the conte xt, what does “your own biology” mean in the last paragraph?A.Your current major.B. Your future job.C. Your future research.D. Your preference.90.Which of the following is the best as the title of the passage?A.Causes of Stress.B. Type of Stress. CollegeC. Life and Stress.D. Stress and ControlMethods.TEXT CFor anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13- to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm. Adults are catching up. People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices. That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media. Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.Economics has much to do with texting’s popularity. Text messages cost carriers less than traditional mobile voice transmissions, and so they cost users less. Sprint Nextel has reconceived its Virgin Mobile brand to cater to heavy texters in a difficult economy. For $25 per month, users get unlimited texting, email, social networking and 300 talk minutes; for another $15, they get an additional 900 talk minutes. The name of the brand's new wireless plan: “Beyond Talk.”Texting’s rise over conversation is changing the way we interact, social scientists and researchers say. We are now inclined to text to relay difficult information. We stare at our phone when we want to avoid eye contact. Rather than make plans in advance, we engage in what research have named “micro-coo rdination”—”I’ll txt u in 10mins when I know wh/ restrnt.”Texting saves us time, but it steals from quiet reflection. “When people have a mobile device and have even a little extra ti me, they will communicate with someone in their life,” says Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project. And the phone conversation will never be completely obsolete. Deal makers and other professionals still spend much of the day on the phone. Researchers say people are more likely to use text-based communications at the preliminary stages of projects. The phone comes into play when there are multiple options to consider or important decisions to be made.91.At the beginning of the passage, the author uses figures for the purpose of ________.A.introductionB. comparisonC. explanationD. transition92.According to the context, which of the following is closest in meaning to “beside the point”?A.Unimportant.B. Unacknowledged.C. Underestimated.D. Undeniable.93.Which o f the following is NOT mentioned as a cause for texting’s popularity?A.Promotion of cheaper wireless packages.B. Increase in the number of adult texters.C. Redesign of mobile devices.D. Rise of social media.94.According to the passage, texting can help people to ________.A.face difficult situationsB. make appointments in advanceC. communicatewish strangers D. avoid awkward situations95.What is the passage mainly about?A.Texting’s popularity and effect.B. Role of texting in business.C. Preference to texting over thinking.D. Innovation of mobile devices.TEXT DThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. He would rather be a pl umber’s mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is presumably why the pundits enforce this in our educational system. But it is not the natural way-nor, I venture to think, the best way. The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them.They do these things better in primitive life, for there at puberty the boy joins his father in making canoes, patching huts, going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties” as those of civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permitted more sexual freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the community.In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter, or ploughman, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a year’s work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage。

2014年12月大学生英语四级听力答题技巧(完整)
2014年12月大学生英语四级听力答题技巧1 短对话(Short Dialogue)的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有8 道试题，对话一般是有两个不同的说话者(two speakers)进行问答或者交流，然后由第三个说话者针对对话内容进行提问，提问形式一般是特殊疑问句的形式，问题主要涉及到对话的主题、人物关系、时间、地点、情节等，英语学习者要注意听懂双方对话中话语的隐含意义。
在大学英语四级考试听力的考试过程中，英语学习者可以根据自己在听的时候的理解以及听之前的预测迅速地在题目的A，B，C，D 选项后面做一些自己明白的记号，比如在认为有可能成为答案的选项后面或者根本没有可能成为答案的选项后面分别做不同的记号，这样当听到问题的时候就可以很确定地选择答案。
2 长对话(Long Conversation)的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有7 道试题，两个长对话，和短对话一样，长对话的答案一般也是从上面短对话的几个方面去考虑得出答案。
要注意的是，有时候同一个长对话里的不同问题，答案可能从不同的方面得出。
做这部分试题的时候，要注意以下几点：听音前，尽可能地把3 或者4道试题的选项浏览一遍，根据选项猜测可能出现的问题及提问方式。
听音时，迅速抓住与选项及所猜测问题有关的关键词，速记有关内容或者在选项后面做记号，在有可能成为答案的选项后面做记号，在绝对没有可能成为答案的选项后面做记号，当然两种记号肯定应该不一样。
听清问题，修正猜测问题，做出正确选择。
另外在长对话中，由于问题不止一个，为了防止听了后面，忘了前面，因此在听的过程中，参照各题的选项，做一些简要的笔记，是很有用的，特别是听到数字、时间、年龄、地点等问题时，简要的笔记尤其有用。
3 短文听力(Passage Listening)的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有10 道试题，有三个短文，每个短文之后可能会有3-4 个问题，短文听力部分的试题除了上面提到的长对话的解题方案外，平时还应加强阅读的训练，同时在考试中运用阅读的一些技巧。

你也能看到，在体育比赛中，由于心理状态的起伏，参赛选手的发挥会跟着有较大的起伏。
同样的道理，心理状态的正常与否对参加听力考试的同学来说也至关重要。
心理方面的任何失衡都会使你手忙脚乱，得分率降低，平时掌握的内容也有可能发挥不出来；相反，保持良好的心态，则会使你如虎添翼，发挥出最佳水平。
考试中的心理偏差有两种，一是过于放松，难以集中注意力，总是想起别的东西，无法抓住听力内容的关键词；二是过于紧张，心跳加快，手心出汗，有头晕的感觉。
出现前一种情况的同学要加强训练，找一个与考试环境相似的教室，模仿真实的考试场景，逐渐进入状态；出现后一种情况的同学可能是对自己的能力估计不足，心中无数，有一种惧怕心理。
这就要从自身做起，平时加强听力训练，做到有的放矢，弥补弱项。
从而充满自信，保持心理稳定。
在考前，把指令背熟，然后在放指令的录音时，阅读选择项，并进行有关的预测，这时，紧张的心理自然消除了。
另外，要做到顺其自然，我们的意思是不要怕漏听一些非关键部分，像介词、连词、冠词等，总之不要去想一个没听到或一个不熟悉的单词，否则，会漏听更多内容。
