W7专题-七招制胜四级听力

1、实用标准文案四级听力七个方法1. 擒贼擒王but，出现频率最高，考点最多，同类词还有however, actually, in fact.此类词的出现一般是语气和语义上的转折(sorry后面的but表示较弱的解释意义不表转折)，往往是重要信息点，也就是考点，答案往往 也出现在这些词的后面。以下仅以最近四次的真题为例，用红色标示：2010.611. W: Just imag ine! We have to finish read ing 300 pages before Mon day! How can theprofessor expect us to do it in such a shor

2、t time?M: Yeah, but _ what troubles me is that I can t find the book in the library or in theuni versity bookstore.Q: What does the man mean?A) He cannot finish his assig nment before the deadli ne.B) He cannot get access to the assig ned book.C) He has difficulty un dersta nding the book.D) He has

3、proved to be a better reader tha n the woma n.本题中M的回答yeah只是弱弱地应了一下 W的抱怨(how can 句无疑而问)，but转折开始说自己遇到的麻 烦，but是个重要的提示词(cue word )和后面的信息词(in formative word)trouble 一起构成提示信息，考生听到此处需要高度重视后面的信息，that后面的内容比较简单，一般能听懂。所以在本题中能够听出锁定答案的but和trouble 至关重要。在选择答案的时候，B选项中的get access to和assign有一定难度，均出自新视野大学英语第一册第一单元。由此可

4、见每课后面的重点单词必须掌握。16. M: I really can t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is goingto be at your Christmas party, I just won t come。W: I m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come 。Q: What does the woma n imply?C) She is sorry the man will not come.D) S

5、he has to invite David to the party.B) She will ask David to talk less.A) She will meet the man halfway.本题中的but虽然在sorry后，但不是紧挨着，因此不表示解释，而是表示转折，是典型的提示词，和后面的信息 词insist 一起构成提示信息，考生如果能注意到这两个词，本题的答案就非常明显了。09.1214. W: I n eed to talk to some one who knows Baltimore well. I m told you lived there.M: Oh, bu

6、t I was really young at the timeQ: What does the man mean?A) He moved to Baltimore whe n he was young.B) He can provide little useful in formati on.C) He will show the woman around Baltimore.D) He will ask some one else to help the woma n.本题中的but随表转折关系但也起解释作用，跟后面的really 一起构成提示信息，考生如果能正确 理解really you

7、 ng的含义，找到答案并不难。15. W: Aren t you disappo in ted that you did n t get the promoti on?M: Maybe a little, but I know I need more experienee before I m ready for that kind of resp on sibility.Q: What do we lear n about the man from this conv ersati on?A) He is rather disappo in tedB) He is highly ambiti

8、ous.C) He can t face up to the situationD) He knows his own limitation.that kind of resp on sibility本题中的but是典型的转折提示词，后面那句话的句型稍微复杂一点儿，考生对理解可能出现偏差，好在选项简单，只要听懂before 前面的半句话选出答案也不难。09.0615. W: I heard about your promoti on, you must be thrilled.M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the workload has

9、 doubled.Q: What do we lear n about the man from the con versati on?A) He is pleased with his exciting new job.B) He finds the huge workload un bearable.C) He finds his office much too big for him.D) He is not so excited about his new position.本题中的not really是重要信息词，but转折提示，补充说明说话者对升职一事不是很激动。本题重点是考查 t

10、hrilled 和excited 的同意替换。16. W: I cant decide what to do about the party tomorrow.M: You dont have to go if you dont want to,but ril be glad to give you a ride if you do.Q: What do we lear n from the conv ersati on?A) The woma n is going to hold a big party tomorrow.B) The man has no idea what the rig

11、ht thing to do is.C) The woman doesn t know how to get to the party.D) The man offers to drive the woma n to the party.本题也是典型的but转折提示，和后面的信息词ride 一起构成提示信息，考生能听懂 but后面的半句就能选出答案。08.1217. M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?W: rd love to, but rm exhausted. I was up till 3 this morning, writing

12、a paper for myliterature class.Q: Why does the woma n decli ne the mans in vitati on?A) she wants to get some sleepB) she n eeds time to write a paperC) she has a literature class to atte ndD) she is troubled by her sleep problem本题雷同于上一题，根据but和exhausted构成的提示信息基本上可以判断出答案，甚至后面的一句话听不懂也可。18. W: You had

13、a job in terview yesterday, did nt you? How did it go?M: Not too bad, I guess. There were about 20 can didates compet ing for the sales man agersjob. And fin ally it was dow n to three of us,but the other two seemed better qualified.Q: What does the man imply?A) He is con fide nt he will get the job

14、.B) His cha nee of gett ing the job is slim.C) It isn t easy to find a qualified sales manager.D) The in terview did n t go as well as he expected.本题难在M的回答太长，考生很难完全听懂，但只要掌握了but提示规律，选出答案不是很难。小结：but 一般情况下都不会重读，不容易注意到。它是说话者表达重要内容的一个常用提示词，需要考生在平时练习听力的时候特别注意，注意这个词的使用语境和发音方式。But后面的信息词是重读的，在练习时要学会找出这个信息词，因

15、为它是 but后面句子的句意重心。2 . 攻其要害 个人意见的陈述，提示词为you know, tell you what , I think, I guess , it seems that, 偶尔也出现I doubt，此类词后面表示说话者意见或陈述事实，或提出质疑，一般设计为考点。最近四次考试这类题出现很多，下面例题中用蓝色标示。2010.0612. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopp ing? The supermarketsoutside the city are so much cheaper. I

16、d also be happy to pick up anything you need。W: Well, I don t like to let anyone else drive my car.

17、She can pick the man up at the grocery store.本题非常简单，tell you what是提示信息，后面 why don t问句表示说话者的意见，只要能注意到 tell youwhat，想选错不容易。13. M: Forgive the mess in here, we have a party last ni ght. There were a lot of people andthey all brought food 。W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it s pretty obvious what you

18、II be doing most of today.Q: What does the woman think the man will do?A) Tidy up the place.B) Hold a party.C) Get more food and drinks.D) Ask his frie nd to come over.除了 I guess提示外，pretty obvious是重要信息，本题中说话者的语气也是重要参考。14.

19、 you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.Q: What does the man mean?A) The first-ro und talks should start as soon as possible.B) He could cha nge his schedule to meet Joh n Smith.C) The talks can be held any day except this Friday.D) The woma n should con tact Jo

20、h n Smith first.本题中you know 后面接的虽然不是that从句，但后面一句话说的就是 schedule的内容，因此这里也算作是 提示词了。18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before?M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won t have muchtrouble。Q: What are the speakers going to do?A) Study a computer program.B) Check t

21、heir computer files.C) Assemble a computer.D) Make some computati on.本题中问句是重要信息，如果M的回答听不清楚基本可以根据问句中的put a computer together 猜出答案。如果能听到提示词I think，并且明白instructions的意思，就能确定答案。09.1211. M: Excuse me, do you have cha nge for a ten-dollar note? I n eed to pay the park ingmeter.W: I m sorry, but I think you

22、 can get it through the money changer in the shoppingcen ter across the street.Q: What is the man trying to do?A) Get some small cha nge.B) Find a shopp ing cen ter.C) Cash a check at a bank.D) Find a park ing meter.本题有两but和I think两类提示词，后面的 money changer是信息词。当然前面的问句也是重要信息。12. M: Can you recommend so

23、mething that a school boy of 7 or 8 will really like?W: I d suggest this toy train, sir. It s an excellent brand. Very popular all over the world these days.Q: What is the man doing?A) Shopp ing with his son.B) Buying a gift for a child.C) Promoti ng a new product.D) Barga ining with a salesgirl.后面的

24、本题同前面的题目一样，两处信息可以判断答案，M的问句基本可以做出判断，而提示词I d suggest信息词toy train 帮你确定答案。13. W: Do you let people know when you re taking pictures of them?M: I try not to. You know any picture of a person who poses for the camera would look dull and unn atural.Q: What are the speakers talk ing about?A) Tak ing photogr

25、aphs.B) Enhancing images.C) Mending cameras.D) Pain ti ng pictures.本题还是类同于以上几题，you know 在本题中是真正的提示词。16. W: I ve been working out the gym since January.

26、id a lotB) She is known to have a terrific figure.C) Her gym exercise has yielded good results.D) Her effort to keep fit is really praiseworthy.本题中答案就是出在提示词It seems that 后面，但如果不知道paid off 和yield什么意思还是不容易选。09.0611. W: There were more than a hundred people at Kates birthday party.How come shes got so

27、many frien ds?M: Its really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a childQ: What does the man imply about Kate?A) She expected more people at her party.B) She enjoys en terta ining small childre n.C) She threw a surprise party for her friendD) She has always enjoyed great popularit

32、8年12月份出的这两道题非常有意思，紧挨着，提示词一样，信息词也是一样，14题考的是弦外之音，15题考的是 acquire a taste的意思。小结：I think ， I guess， It seems that一般是在回答问题时所用，有些问句是含有重要信息的，可以作为判断答案的依据，后面会详细。而这些提示词后面的从句则一定是信息点，个别题目会加上对单词或短语的考查。3 . 重拳出击 问句，speaker1的问句一般是谈话的重要内容 (表询问和请求居多)，而speaker2的问句一般是对speaker1的委婉回应，往往是提示对方该怎么做(尤其是 did you 或have you 开头的)

33、，所以一般都是考点，考 查学生的理解并接收信息的能力。why not .why don tyou .what do you think of What about doing howabout.等词表示建议，是一种更为直接的回答，托福的 PBT年代考的很多，06年四六级改革之前出题多，近年的四六级出现的不多。2010.0612.

40、hat did the woma n do?A) She ordered some paper.C) She chatted on li ne with a friendB) She had the prin ter repaired.D) She filled in an application form.本题中这个问句不是唯一的信息点，但却是最明显的信息点。因为答案选项没有相似性，仅凭这一点也是可以判断答案的。08.1213.

41、h?In eed to move in n ext week whe n my new job starts.M: The only vaca nt one I have is 600 dollars, have you inq uired at the apartme nt complexdow n the street?Q: What does the man suggest the woma n do?A) Look for a place n ear her office.B) Find a new job dow n the street.C) Make inq uiries els

42、ewhere.D) Rent the $600 即 artme nt.本题M的问句就是就是给出的建议，是答案所在，但也要求考生掌握inquirie 这个单词，apartment complex 虽然理解起来有难度，却不是考点，因为W的问句已经提示了这个短语的意思。16. W: You have nt see n a blue no tebook, have you?

44、句委婉提出建议。小结：问句是重要信息，是可以直接判断答案的部分，speaker 2的问句信息价值更大。4. 避敌锐气-虚拟语气，虚拟语气在最近几次的四级考试中出现的不多，早期的四级出现频率较高。说话者一般用虚拟语气来表示懊悔，惊讶，或委婉劝说(本部分我把I thought , I expected , I was wondering , I had no idea以及If从句也包括在内)，是说话者着重强调的内容，当然是判断答案的重要信息点。在后面例题中用淡紫色标示。2010 . 0615. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did

52、中。类似的词还有“I knew ”小结：虚拟语气越来越少考到，但只要在对话中出现则必是答案所出。这里把那几组词也放到里面，是想提醒大家注意说话者的语气。这里讨论的语气还是有迹可循的，比较容易。而无迹可循的语气就有难度了，后记中细说。5. 击其必救情态动词，can , would , could , might等词也是表示说话者的某种语气，尤其后面加上表示否定的词not , never , hardly等，则更是说话者语意的重点，一般设计为考点。类似的词还有have to (包括has to 禾口 had to ), ought to.2010 . 0617.

54、) Many stude nts have dropped Prof. Joh nsons class.D) Few stude nts meet Prof. Joh nsons requireme nts.听力中的否定其实一般也是重要信息点，不用说这个题还是双重否定。Could hardly 和后面的awake就是题眼,key words 当然指向key。2009 . 1217.
