CET四级听力怎么提高才有效
当然在于多听了,要抓住闲散时间听,一次不能听太久,最多45分钟.在于勤听,最好是每天都听.即使听不懂,你可以在听的过程中发现自己听明白了几个单词,那也是进步,久而久之,你就进步啦
六级听力怎么提高
四六级听力的临场注意事项 要在六级听力测试中取得令人满意的成绩,临场的一些注意事项也是值得注意的。
考生要学会精神放松。
美国总统罗斯福有句名言:“世界上唯一可惧怕的就是惧怕本身 (The only thing to fear is fear itself)”。
如果对听力考试感到紧张或害怕,那 么在自己的考场坐位上原地做几次深呼吸,这样可以有助于缓解紧张情绪。
排除杂念,注意力集中。
坐在考场里,不要总想着:“听不懂怎么办
答错了怎么办
最后考试结果会如何如何又该怎么办
要学会稳住自己的情绪,全神贯注于你的听力 内容,尽自己最大的努力来考,这样才会发挥出最佳水平。
要力争主动,带着问题听。
六级听力理解从开始播放题头音乐到正式开始做题之前,大约有2分钟的时间。
因此,考生可充分利用这段时间去阅读试卷上各题的选择项,尽量争 取在这2分钟内多看几道题。
正式开始做题之后,要严格控制答题时间,根据自己听懂的内容,尽快确定并标出答案。
倘若遇到难题,应当机立断,不要在该题上花太多的时间 。
尽量余下几秒再次浏览下一题的选择项。
通过再次浏览,考生基本上可以预测出所提问题的大致方向,从而可使自己在听力测试中处于主动地位处理好听与看的关系。
听是正确理解的关键。
当做上一题余下的几秒钟内看不完下一题 的书面选择项时,则应把注意力放在听上,而不要为了看而耽误了听录音的内容。
毕竟这是在进行听力测试,如果听得清、记得准的话,自然可以选择出正确的答案。
沉着应战。
在整个听音过程中,要注意思想集中。
在听懂大意的基础上,抓住所听内容的主旨与有关细节。
同时利用在预读中得到的潜在信息、读音手段等抓住重点,并用自己熟悉的形式把关键信息、数字等迅速记录下来。
这时应是耳眼并用,耳听录音信息, 眼观书面信息,边听边分析整理。
遇到不会答的难题,果断放弃,猜一个答案,然后集中精力做下一道题。
要相信自己的能力,坚信只要专心致志就一定能发挥出自己的实际水平 四六级听力小对话答题技巧 九种题型提前预测,有的放矢 1. 数字价格运算题———选项中有数字和名词(dollar,pound……) 2. 时间加减运算题———选项中有几点几分,有时含有公差。
1) M: Now, it is 10 o’clock.The bus will leave in 30 minutes. Q: When will the bus leave
2) M: As far as I know, the film will start at 10:30. W: Don’t worry,we can go to the bar and have a drink, because we have still got 20 minutes. Q: When is it now
3) M: According to my watch, it is 10:30, but my watch is 5 minutes fast. Q: When is it now
3.对话发生地点题———选项中是介词(in,at)和地点名词(hospital…) —Where did this conversation most probably take place
4. 人物职业身份题———选项中有与工作有关的动词或动名词。
Who is the man
Who is the woman
What does the man do
What does the man’s profession
5. 人物关系题———选项中出现两种职业身份的名词。
6. 人物动作行为题———选项中出现含动作关键词汇的不定式结构。
—If I were you, I would… —You’d better… —You are going to do sth. —I suggest you should do sth. 7. 细节混淆题———选项中列举一系列相近的信息。
人称细节混淆\\\/地点细节混淆\\\/人物的兴趣爱好,运动方式。
W: I like painting,sealing,watching football and talking to you. M: I like traveling, swimming and going to cinema. 8.意义解释题———选项中是四个完整句(一般第二个人的话需要解释) 主语都是他时听男的,是女的就听女的。
不一样时听第二个。
—What does the man mean
—What does the woman mean
—What can we learn from the conversation
—What can we infer from the conversation
9.对话主旨题———选项中是四个名词或名词性结构。
W: Have you got married
M: Not yet,I am taking a very important test.I am writing a long paper,but I will consider it after graduation. Q: What are they talking about
备考六月:四六级听力应试技巧 第三单元、四级英语听力的解题技巧 1.对话 根据对话听力的设题特点,我认为在解答对话听力理解题时同学们应注意以下几点: 1)提前阅读选项,判断问题所属,从而集中精力于有关信息。
2)注意根据信息词汇判断地点和说话人的身份职业等。
当同学们看到四个地点和职业名词时,大脑中就应该马上出现与这些地点或职业相关的一系列词语,在听的过程中注意提到了什么信息词语,这样就可轻松地判断谈话发生的地点,说话人的职业或身份,以及谈话双方的关系。
为此,同学们有必要了解与各种职业和地点行业有关的信息词汇,如: 饭店:menu, order, waitress, waiter, take order, go Dutch, It's my treat等; 旅馆:check in\\\/out, make a reservation, register, reception desk等; 医院:physician, doctor, nurse, operation-room, emergency room, visiting hours, prescribe, pill等; 银行:open an account, withdraw, deposit, saving, cash a check等; 飞机\\\/机场:flight, safety-belt, boarding card, captain, airhostess, airline, take off, land, crash等。
有关信息词汇同学们可以参看四级英语《听力分册》,这里就不再一一列举。
3)注意加减运算,听到的不是答案 在涉及时间、距离、金钱等数量概念的听力中,一般都要求同学们进行加减方面的运算,很少是听到什么就是什么。
有时,计算可能会麻烦些,同学们可以先将听到的时间等记下,等有时间再计算。
在计算题中应特别注意以下数字的读音差别: 13---30 14-40 15 --- 50 16 --- 60 17 -70 18 -80 19 -90 选项中会有这种数字读音差别的考查。
如: W: when does the next train leave? M: You have just missed one by 5 minutes. Trains leave every 50 minutes, so you'll have to wait for a while. Q: How long does the woman have to wait for the next train? A. 45 minutes. B. 50 minutes. C. 10 minutes. D. 5 minutes. 如果把50minutes 听成了15 minutes,就会误选选项C。
4)注意记笔记,将人物、地点、时间等对号入座 听力测试中的另外一种现象就是,四个选项中的人物、地点、时间或事件等在对话中可能都有提及。
在这种情况下,同学们所需要的不是寻找信息词,而是注意将四个选项与对话中提及的信息对号入座。
如: ① W: Do you enjoy life in Washington? M: Yes, indeed. I'm planning to move to New York or Boston. Anyway, I've never regretted my earlier decision. Q: Where does the man live now? A. In New York. B. In Boston C. In Newport D. In Washington 四个地点对话中提到了三个,具体是哪一个,同学们在听的时候应注意分辨。
②M:Please buy two packs of cigarettes for me while you are at the store. W:I am not going to any store. I'm going to see Aunt Mary. But I will get them for you at the gas station. Q:Where will the woman stop on her way? A. At a cigarette store. B. At a bus station. C. At a gas station. D. At Aunt Mary's ③M:I'd like to make two reservations on Flight 651 for June 8th. W:I'm sorry, we're booked up on the 8th. But we still have a few seats available on June 9th. Q:When does the man want to leave? A. On the 6th of June. B. On the 8th of June. C. On the 9th of June. D. On the 19th of June 如果地点不含职业性的对比,一般就很可能属于这里所介绍的类型,那么同学们所做的就是分别。
5)从语法入手、从短语含义入手,判断隐含之意 在四级听力中常考查到的语法是建议和虚拟语气。
要求同学们判断建议是什么,虚拟中含义是什么。
就建议而言,同学们只需注意建议的各种表达方式,就可解答这类听力题;至于虚拟语气,我想同学们可以记住这样一条规律: 与所听到的相反的就是答案。
6) 概括与具体,具体与抽象相对,概括的、抽象的是解 这类题主要是话题的选择,也包括一些对整个事件的评价等。
如: ① W: We all talk about how liberated we are, but in fact woman are still not treated equally. M:I don't think so. You've got the vote, you've got your careers I think you've got everything important. Q: What are they talking about? A. The woman's job as a librarian. B. Woman's rights in society. C. An important election. D. Career planning. 谈论的话题应是一个抽象的概括性的东西,所以答案是B。
②M: This has been the worst flood for the past 20 years. It has caused much damage and destruction. W: Look at the price of fruits and vegetables. No wonder they are expensive. Q: What are they talking about? A. The effects of the flood. B. The heroic fight against flood. C. The cause of the flood. D. Floods of the past twenty years. 能够概括对话中物价上涨的应该是A。
7)肯定与不肯定相对,含义不肯定的是解 这一技巧用于解答说话者言外之意的听力题。
如: ①W:I intend to buy some fruits for the children. These apples and pears seem to be in season. I'll get two dozen of each. M: I hope they're as good as they look. Q: What does the man mean? A. The apples and pears might no be so good. B. The apples are not as good as the pears. C. The apples and pears are very good. D. The apples and pears are as good as they look. hope的使用说明答案应该是不太可能的选项,自然是A。
②W: If this weather keeps up, I'm going to have to buy a warmer coat. M: Sounds like a good idea. Spring is still a long way off, you know. Q: What does the man mean? A. The woman should wait to buy new clothes. B. The cold weather will probably continue. C. The weather will warm up soon. D. He already has a warm coat. Sounds like a good idea说明了语气的不可能,答案应该是B。
8)同意是解 一般情况下,如果四个选项中有一个表示同意的概念,那么,此选项就是正确选项。
如: ① W: It's a wonderful film, isn't it? M: You can say that again. Q: What does the man mean? A. He agrees with the woman. B. He didn't hear what the woman said. C. He is surprised by her opinion. D. He thinks she should look at it again. ② M: This is the longest assignment we've had all semester. W: You're telling me. We'll be lucky if we can do half of it. Q: What does the woman say about the assignment? A. She has done half of it already. B. She agrees that it is very long. C. They have all semester to do it. D. There's nothing wrong with it. 请同学们注意以下表示同意对方观点的常用语。
如果听到这些,就可以选择含有同意的选项: You said it. You can say that again. You are telling me. You may\\\/might well say so. I'll say. I couldn't agree more. 2.短文 根据短文听力的特点,同学们可以做以下工作。
1) 注意把握首尾句,从整体上理解全文,这同样有利于主题题的解答。
2) 听前阅读选项,增加听的目的性和针对性。
3) 听时记笔记,以掌握文章的主要细节内容。
4) 根据不同的听力材料采用不同的听力技巧。
如故事性的文章一般可以边听边划答案,标出故事中提到的信息;说明文要注意要说明的主题是什么,支撑细节有哪些。
5) 做完后通读所有答案,看是否能相互说明,成为一个整体。
3.复合式听写 在前面我已经给大家介绍了复合式听写中可以运用的一些技巧。
复合式听写很大程度上利用了完形填空的词汇和篇章技巧,同时在有三题中又运用了写作的技法。
但是否能够以适当的语言准确地补全短文所缺信息,不是技巧本身所能做到的,需要同学们平时加强这方面的训练。
以上简要分析了四级听力测试的特点和可以运用的一些方法技巧。
但是,听力能力的发展不是一朝一夕可练就的,更不是知道几个小窍门就能解决问题的。
希望同学们结合四级考试听力测试的特点,有针对性地强化训练,同时注意解题的技巧,可望在短时间之内有个突破。
英语四级考试听力考试九大技巧 (一)?调整心理状态 心理状态就是一个人的心情。
心情的好坏,会直接地影响我们工作、学习的效果。
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。
关于心理准备。
在开首,我们提出同学们在练习听力以及正式的考试中都必须遵循的一条,就是放松心情,但要使听觉系统紧张起来。
只有放松心情,才能正常(甚至超水平)发挥听力。
