1，四级听力之不变：长对话/篇章听力

原来的长对话（long conversation）和篇章听力（passage）从题型长度难度上都是没有变化的，所以大家正常备考就可以。但要注意的是分值的变化。长队话由原来的7题变成的8题，分值依然是1分/题。而篇章听力却变成的2分/题（原来1分/题）。对于篇章听力容易走神，考点把握不住，音义形无法对应的同学是个很大的挑战。

2，四级听力之变化：短对话变新闻；取消短文听写

原Section A中的短对话（Short conversation）变成了短篇新闻（news report）。共3段新闻，每段新闻后有2-3小题，只读一遍。下面我们来解析一下最新样题：

Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.

1. A) Christmas-time attacks made by Somali rebels.

B) An explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.

C) The killing of more than 70 Ugandans in Kampala.

D) Blasts set off by a Somali group in Uganda’s capital.

2. A) On Christmas Eve. C) During a security check.

B) Just before midnight. D) In the small hours of the morning.

解：通过选项中的关键词attack, Somali rebels, explosion, killing, blast

我们可以预测这是一篇关于爆炸袭击的新闻。第一题是爆炸事件地点，

伤亡等信息的描述，第二题考时间。

原文：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 vehicle. 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?

解：两道题都是细节题，并且没有干扰项。新闻第一句“Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.”可以确定答案B。“Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check.”爆炸发生在安检时，答案C。

Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

3. A) It is likely to close many of its stores.

B) It is known for the quality of its goods.

C) It remains competitive in the recession.

D) It will expand its online retail business.

4. A) Expand its business beyond groceries.

B) Fire 25,000 of its current employees.
