2、应聘。【听音验证】M: Morning, Brenda.W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.19.

Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.W: Wow, thats a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?四、选项中含有表示评论或感受的动词
5、如果选项中含有think, like, dislike, enjoy, agree, disagree, mind等一类的词语，听力材料或问题很可能是关于对某人或某事物的评价或感受。四个选项中如均含有表示评论或感受的词，则表示问题是关于对人或事物的评价或感受;如其中只有个别选项含有表示评论或感受的词，则表示听力材料中很可能涉及到对人或事物的评价或感受，问题内容则不一定会涉及。【预览选项】ANot clearly specified.BNot likely to be met.CReasonable enough.DApparently sexist.【听前预测】四个选项中均含有表示评论的词语(
6、specified, reasonable等)，故问题很可能是关于某人对某事物的看法。【听音验证】W: Yes, erm, what sort of education are you actually looking for?M: Well, you know, a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.W: Yes, I think youre asking quite a lot. I mean youre not really prepared to pay all .M: No, Im not prepared to giv

8、an awful lot.21. What does Brenda think of the qualifications Mr. Browning insists on?五、选项中含有比较结构如果选项中含有形容词或副词的比较级或最高级，或是其他表示比较的词语，则听力材料或问题很可能涉及人或事物之间的异同点或优劣的比较。四个选项中如均含有比较级或表示比较的词，则表示问题是关于人或事物之间的比较;如其中只有个别选项中含有比较级，则表示听力材料中很可能涉及到人或事物之间的比较，问题内容则不一定会涉及。【例6】(710分样卷-22)【预览选项】A Their competitors have lon
9、g been advertising on TV.BTV commercials are less expensive.C Advertising in newspapers alone is not sufficient.D TV commercials attract more investments.【听前预测】由选项中的advertising on TV，advertising in newspapers以及比较级less expensive, attact more可知本题很可能涉及到电视广告和报纸广告之间优劣的比较。故听音时应留意比较级或其他陈述二者优劣特点的词句。【听音验证】W:
10、 Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.M: TV? Isnt that a bit too expensive for us? Whats wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?W: Quite frankly, its just not enough anymore.22. Why does the woman suggest advertising on TV?六、选项均为名词性短语如选项均为概括性较强的名词或是名词性的短语，且各项内容差异较大
11、，问题则很可能是关于对话所谈论的主题或对话中出现的某一事件或问题的主题。【例7】(710分样卷-22)【预览选项】AThe latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.BThe fall of Karnaks capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.CThe epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.DThe peace talks between the rebels and the governmen
12、t in Karnak.【听前预测】选项均为名词短语，且概括性均较强，故本题很可能考查对话的主旨。由armed rebellion，the rebel forces，peace talks between the rebels and the government等词以及多次出现的Karnak可推知本对话很可能与Karnak国反政府武装叛乱有关。【听音验证】W: We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the
13、newly formed country of Karnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan .M: This is Stan Fielding reporting live from the suburbs of the capital city. Just 20 minutes ago, rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18- month conflict here in this country.
14、22.What is the news coverage mainly about?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 cle
15、aned up all the garbage in the womans 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 mans apple tree cut d
16、own.D Throw garbage into the mans 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(
17、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。19题各选项中谓语动词的过去式形式表明本题应该是考查男士过去的活动。A、B、C均与苹果树和院子有关，只有C是关于fence(栅栏)，与其他三项内容差别较大，且与其他各题选项内容均不相关，故C为答案的可能性较小。【听音验证】W: Hello, Patrick, is that you?M: Yeah, Jane, what can I do for you?W: I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday.M: That was har
18、d work!【答案解析】19. What did the man do yesterday?【解析】选B。由女士话中的the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday可知男士昨天给苹果树剪枝了。trim意为“修剪，修整”。八、包含其他选项内容的选项往往不是答案有的选项明显包含其他选项的含义，那么该选项往往不是答案。【例9】(托福)【预览选项】A She was impressed by it.B It was a waste of money.C She was amazed it had opened so soon.D She didnt l
19、ike it as much as the other wings.【听前预测】由选项中的impressed， a waste of money, amazed, like 等可推知本题是针对对某事物的看法设题的。选项A说“it”给她留下了深刻印象，选项C说她对“it”这么快就开张(或开放)感到吃惊，其含义包含A的含义在内，故C很可能不是答案。【听音验证】M: Hey, how was your trip?W: Wonderful. I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially liked the new wing. I was
20、 amazed to hear the guide explain all the problems they had building it.【答案解析】34.What did the woman think of the new wing of the museum?【解析】 选A。细节题。由对话中出现的 amazed, unusual, impressive等可知女士对美术馆新侧厅的修建费用以及修建过程中的种种问题大感吃惊，并且对里面的设计印象非常深刻，故答案为A。九、明显不符常理的选项往往不是答案有的选项明显不符合该对话情景下的常识或常理，那么该选项往往也不是答案。【例10】(新06-
21、12-25)【预览选项】A Accurate communication is of utmost importance.B Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.C Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.D Cooperation between pilots and air controllers is essential.【听前预测】由选项中的should可推知，本题应该是考查观点或建议。选项内容表明问题应该与确保安全飞行的因素有关。B是
22、说飞行员应该会说几门外语，这不大合乎常理，因为飞国内行线的飞行员并不一定要会好几门外语，故B为答案的可能性较小。【听音验证】M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.W: Wow, thats a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.【答案解析】25. What less
23、on could be drawn from the accident?【解析】选A。对话的最后女士总结了这次事故的教训：how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other，答案是对此的同义转述。utmost意为“极大的”。十、意思相近的选项往往都不是答案如果有两个选项意思明显相近，那么这两个选项往往都不是答案。【例11】(新06-12-22)【预览选项】A He was ready to make a concession.B He was not prepared to go to court.C He was n
24、ot intimidated.D He was a bit concerned.【听前预测】由选项中的concession(让步)，go to court, intimidate(威胁)， concerned(担心)等词可推测问题应该与男士对某事的反应有关。A是说他准备让步，B是说他不准备上法庭，二者都表示男士要“妥协退让”的含义，故很可能都不是答案。【听音验证】M: Get the branches off my property or Ill have to sue you.M: Yeah? For what?! W: Youll be hearing from me.M: Yeah, y
25、eah. See you in court, Jane.【答案解析】22. What was the mans reaction to the womans threat?【解析】选C。女士说让男士等着收法庭的传票(hear from me)，男士的回答“Yeah, yeah. See you in court(法庭见)”表明他根本not intimidated(不怕威胁)。四六级名师详解12月新四级听力高分攻略距离12月23日只剩寥寥数日，大学英语四、六级考试已迫在眉睫。这次考试中变化最大的题目莫过于四级新题型中的听力部分，那么考生们该如何应对呢？业内专家昂立四六级王牌教师王萌，为广大学员支
26、招新四级听力应试攻略。 新老四级听力部分变动对比一、分值有了较大提高：从原来的百分制中占20%的比重上升至目前满分710分中的35%；二、题目的数量和题型都有所增加：从传统的十个短对话、三篇段落或一篇复合式听写(七个单词和三个句子)增至现在的八个短对话、两个长对话、三篇段落外加一篇复合式听写(八个单词和三个句子)；三、考试顺序也有了变动：听力由第一道门槛变为继作文和快速阅读之后的第三关，不知莘莘考生能否习惯，一定要尽量适应。命题思路、考点类型及相关的应试技巧ShortConversations主要包括对在不同场景中对话双方的询问、建议、补充、陈述、判断、计算、否定回答及虚拟情况等进行提问，要求
27、考生能够首先抓住关键词，尽量理解对话的大意，并结合对不同语调和语气的把握，做出准确的选择。在解答这种题目时，各位考生一定要注意“三”管齐下，即：听前pre-reading(预读)+听中keywords(关键词)+听后guessing(有根据的判断或推测)。在预读题目各选项时，考生应包括以下两个步骤：其一，找到重复或者相似的单词大概判断出对话的场景，其二，找到和正常的逻辑有一些不同的选项；在听力的具体过程中，要留意下述命题规律，即听的最清楚的往往不是答案，但是已经离答案不远了，因为两者常以同义或近义替换的形式出现；同时，考生应参照对选项预测的结果，有的放矢地做简单的记录，来辅助自己的短期记忆；另
28、外，大家应该着重听懂对话的第二句话，因为有相当一部分的短对话是按照question和answer的结构来设计的，主要的考点会出现在回答句当中。Long Conversations包括两篇字数在240左右的对话，对话双方会结合校园、面试、公司企划等某一主题，进行较为详细的探讨；可将其视为把关联的十组左右的短对话串联在一起进行命题，虽然该题型是改革后四级考试中的新增题型，考生们大可不必将其想作洪水猛兽，产生畏惧心情；可以运用与短对话类似的方法将其攻克。另外，笔者认为考生在听到长对话的回答部分一定要尽量抓住第一个观点或第一个分句，因为说话人通常会直陈其观点或意见，其后较啰嗦、冗长的部分通常是补充或说
29、明，所以大家要努力抓住提纲挈领之语。如果考生现有的这种材料较少，可参考中级口译或雅思听力中的相似题型加以演练，相信能够颇有收获。Passages是四、六级考试的常规题型，广大考生对此也相对熟悉。首先，还是要尽量在听前通过选项来预测文章的主题，其次，在听中注意对标志词后内容的把握，譬如now/next/the first thing is./finally/to start with/however/on the contrary/the most important/we may safely draw the conclusion that/that is to say./because/r
30、epresent.等等，因为通常这些词后面都是重要的观点，也正是命题者最喜欢出题的地方。最后，笔者将自己的几点心得归纳如下：-略读所有的选项，并对即将听到的内容和可能提出的问题，做粗略的推断。-速读选项的时候要特别注意有无数字、年份、地点、人名，听时要特别注意这些细节。-如遇到生词，暂不要花时间去猜测词义，以免影响对整个材料的理解。-听清主题句，并对其做简单的记录。CompoundDictation是听力考试部分最后一只拦路虎，因为考生在花费45分钟完成作文和快速阅读部分再加上将近20分钟的听力轰炸之后，才接触到该题目，届时应该多多少少“身心疲惫”了，所以希望大家能够坚持到最后，集中精力，不放弃一点得分的机会。首先，听前通读全文估计来不及，但考生至少应发现哪一部分出题比较密集。其次，在听的时候遵照“三步走”来答题，即第一遍理解全文，做简单笔记；第二遍认真填写；第三遍检查、填补。最后，在听后再一次确认校对并将答案誊写到答题纸上，笔者不建议考生直接在答题纸上写答案。
