29、is activity aims at entertaining the students as well as training their listening ability.Reference for TeachingLearning Tips英语听力技巧1.学会预测预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示,如所给答案选项,段落或对话标题等已有知识,对即将听到的段落或对话内容进行预测。(1)从答案选项中预测Q:What does Tom do?A.Hes a truck driver.B.Hes a ship captain.C.Hes a pilot.录音原文:W:Tom flew to A

30、nchorage last night,then took some passengers from there to Dollas.M:Yeah,but he couldnt land because the airport in Dollas was snowed in.从选项看,问题应是关于职业方面的,再从flew,passengers,airport这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。(2)从说话人口气预测在A,B两人的对话中,如果B是附和或赞成,往往说“Yes”,“I agree”,“Sure”,“I think so”等。但如A用否定句,B表同意时则用“No”,“Neither/Nor

31、.”等。例如:A:Harvey doesnt seem to fit into this class.B:No,he is really a fish out of water.2.做简要笔记听录音时快速、准确、简要地记下有关信息（包括数字,人名,地名,关键词）,前提是不要影响跟听速度,采用自己习惯的符号。例:How much will the man pay for the tickets?A.$18B.$24C.$30录音原文:W:Tickets for the movie are $6 for adults,half price for children.M:All right,Id l

32、ike three tickets for adults and two tickets for children,please.笔记可简化为:$6 A（代表adult),$3C(代表child),3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half Children(2)3.听清数据,简要记下,加以运算在获取时间信息时,不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。高考听力考查时间时往往要进行简单的时间换算。At what time does the train to Leeds leave?A.3:00B.3:15C.5:00录音原文:W:Excuse me,could you tell me when

33、the next train to Manchester is?M:Sure.Well,its 3 now.The next train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours,but you can take the train to Leeds which leaves in 15 minutes,and then get off at Manchester on the way.对话中提到了三个时间Its 3 now,in 2 hours,in 15 minutes.现在是3点,开往Manchester 的火车要两小时后才开,即The train to Manch

34、ester leaves in 2 hours。若简单机械地把3点和2点相加,会得出火车5点才开的错误选项C。数字类问题分辨别类和计算类两种:(1)要注意区分-teen和-ty及four和five的发音;辨别多位数,如电话号码,门牌等(2)计算时间,钱款,距离,年龄,人或物的数量等;听出数字间的关系,更要听清问题,因为对运算方法的要求通常寓于问题中;注意more,less,as much(many)as,another,double,a couple of,to,past,quarter;记住时间是60进制如出现几个数字,应注意鉴别问的是那一个。例:At what time does the

35、office open？A.At 8:15.B.At 8:30.C.At 7:45从常识判断,办公时间往往以整点开始,而不会在几点几分。听力原文:M:I wonder why the office is still not open.W:But its not yet eight.In fact,its only a quarter to eight.4.抓住关键,对症下药听力考试常出现以Where提问的问句,考生要通过对话的具体情节和背景判断对话发生的地点。一般来说,特定场景的用语和关键词是基本固定的,考生要对此多了解,熟悉明白。在遇到Where does the conversation take place?/Where does sb.work?/Whats his job?之类的问题时,就会派上用场。如:restaurant:menu,bill,order,tip,hambur
