第一讲CET-4听力理解答题策略与真题讲解(教学内容)

(一)听力理解题型分析

听力理解部分测试学生获取口头信息的能力。录音材料用标准的英式或美式

英语朗读，语速约为每分钟130词。听力部分分值比例为35除其中对话由15%,

短文占20%o考试时间35分钟。

对话部分(ListeningConversations)包括短对话和长对话，均采用多项选

择题的形式进行考核。短对话约有7-8段，每段为一轮对话和一个问题；长对话

有两段，每段为5-8轮对话和3-4个问题；对话部分共15题。每段对话均朗读

一遍，每个问题后留有15秒的答题时间。

短文部分包括多项选择题型的短文理解(ListeningPassages)和复合式听

写(CompoundDictation)o多项选择题型的短文有3篇，每篇长度为200-250

词，朗读一遍，每篇3-4题，共10题，每个问题后留有15秒的答题时间。复合

式听写测试考生在不同层面上(从词汇到语篇层面)的听力理解能力。这部分测

试采用一篇200-250词的短文，删去若干个单词和句子，全文朗读三遍。要求考

生根据听到的内容填写所缺信息，所缺单词必须用原词填写，所缺句子信息既可

按原文填写，也可用自己的语言表述。

(二)四级听力短对话部分应试技巧

有关应试技巧部分，本讲主要要求学生掌握听力短对话部分的应试技巧。在

接下来的三讲中，我们会陆续分析长对话、短文理解及复合式听写的应试技巧及

解题策略。

简短对话题型归类及应试技巧：

1)数字与计算题

“数字与计算”是早年大学英语四级统考中的听力测试的最常考项目之一，

常见的计算题包括时间、价格、年龄、距离、速度等。出题形式可分为计算型、

辨认型和替换型。以加减计算题为主。

相关词汇与表达:more,less,late,early,fast,slow,aheadofschedule,

delay,postpone,decrease,bringforward,times,twice,double,aquarter,

ahalf,thedaybeforeyesterday,bynoon,halfanhour

r例一」

W：Herhusbandsaidshelefthomeathalfpastfour.Sheshouldbehereatten

afterfiveandaquarterpastfiveatthelatest.

Q：WhattimedidSueleavehome?(2001.6/7)

2)职业、身份和相互关系题

鸟种类型的题目相对比较简单。首先，四个选择往往是4种不同职业或者

是表示两个对话者之间关系的词。如husbandandwife,bossandsecretary,

librarianandstudent或customerandrepairman等。选择项的特点决定了提问的内

容。了解这一点后，在听音过程中，就可以把注意力集中到一些关键词或词组上，

以便作出准确判断。其次，提问的方式比较单一固定。

①常见的提问方式是：

F竹韵

Who'stheman/woman?

Whatdoestheman/womando?

What'stheman's/woman'sjob/profession/occupation?

Whafstheprobablerelationshipbetweenthemanandwoman?

Whafstheprobablerelationshipbetweenthetwospeakers?

在听音过程中，只需集中注意力听清对话，根据对话提供的有效信息，便可

以比较快地作出正确选择。

②相关词汇和表达：

营业员与顾客(shopassistantandcustomer)

WhatcanIdofbryou?/onsale/CanIhelpyou?/outofstyle/

ready-made/receipt/check-outstand/size/color/fit/lookround

饭店服务员与顾客(waiter/waitressandcustomer)

图书管理员与学生(librarianandstudent)

医生与病人(doctorandpatient)

空姐与乘客(airhostessandpassenger)

yourpromise?

M：Thisisnotagame.It'sonlyacrosswordpuzzlethathelps

increasemyvocabulary.

Q：Whatistheprobablerelationshipbetweenthespeakers?（2003.1）

3）因果关系题

提高这类测试题的应试能力，考生必须学会分析选择项。根据选择项特征确

定测试的具体类型。即该题是就原因提问还是就结果进行提问；同时根据选择项

中的主语、人称代词的性质明确听音的重点，即是集中注意力听男声部分还是女

士的谈话。就原因提问的测试题，其选择项特点较为明显，通常都由because引

导。但也不不少含蓄型的题目。这类测试题的选择项没有because,不过，只

要认真分析一下选择项的谓语部分也能加以确定。

「例」

A）Hemustmeethisteacher.B）Hemustattendaclass.

C）Hemustgooutwithhisgirlfriend.D）Hemuststayatschooltofinishhis

homework.

W：John,doyouwanttogoswimmingwithmetoday?

M：Sure,butIcan'tleavenow.Ihaveanappointmentwithmyprofessorat

threeo'clock.

Q：Whycan^Johngoswimmingnow?

「例二」.

A）Hedoesn'tenjoybusinesstripsasmuchasheusedto.

B）Hedoesn'tthinkheiscapableofdoingthejob.

C）Hethinksthepayistoolowtosupporthisfamily.

D）Hewantstospendmoretimewithhisfamily.

W：IfIwereyou,Iwouldhaveacceptedthejob.

M：Iturneddowntheofferbecauseitwouldmeanfrequentbusinesstrips

awayfrommyfamily.

Q：whydidn'tthemanacceptthejob?（2000.6/8）

4）肯定与否定题

听力测试题有很多对话常通过某种否定形式来表示肯定含义，或是利用肯定

形式表示否定意义。其目的是考查学生的快速反应能力和基础知识掌握的程度。

常见的以否定形式表示肯定意义的结构有：

cannotwait+不定式或canhardlywait+不定式（急于…,迫切希望…）；

cannot与much（或too,enough,sufficiently,over,构成的合成词）连用（无

论怎么也不为过）；cannothelpdoing（禁不住做…）；cannotbutdo（不得不，

必然）；cannothelpbutdo（不得不）；havenochoice/alternativebuttodo（除做...

外别无选择，非做..・不可）；nothingbut（只有，只不过）；另外，还可以通过各

种比较结构来表示肯定含义，最常用的有：nothinglessthan（和…•模・样，

完全是）；moreAthanB（与其说是B,不如说是A或是A而不是B）；lessA

thanB（与其说是A,不如说是B或是B而不是A）；notsomuchAasB（是

B而不是A）；Anotso...asB（A比B…）,表达的正好是原结构中形容词或

副词的反义。

常见的以肯定表示否定的意义的有：

anythingbut(根本不)；usedto（过去常常,0，说明

现在已不这样做）；too...to...（太…以致不…，这一结构的不定式表示否定意

义）；prefer...to...（该短语否定的是介词短语部分，表示“不喜欢或不会做”等）；

wouldrather…than（宁愿…而不，这一结构否定的是than后的动词,would...rather

than与其用法相同。）

「例一」

A)Sheisgoingtogiveupbiology.

B)Shespendshalfofhertimeonbiology.

C)Toher,biologyisdifficult,butmathisnot.

D)Toher,mathisevenmoredifficultthanbiology.

M：Whatdoyouthinkofbiology?

W：It4sgivenmeahardtime,thoughitisnotasdifficultasmath.

Q：Whatcanwelearnaboutthewoman?

「例二」

A)Sheiseagertoknowwhatthepresentis.

B)Sheisnotanxioustoknowwhatitis.

C)Shedoesn'tnowwhatsheisaskedtowaitfbr.

D)Shereallydoesn'tcareaboutthepresent.

M：Whatdidyourparentsbuyyouforyourbirthday?

W：Idon'tknow.ButIcanhardlywaittoseeit.

Q：Whatdoesthewomanmean?

5)计划与行动题

行动类题是四级听力测试中最常见的题型之一。题量较大。

①某人计划或打算做什么。选择项常以动词原形或动词不定式形式出现；

也有以句子形式出现的选择项，这类选择项的谓语部分常出现will,be

going或beto解题时，应首先根据选择项确定提问的对象，即男士还是女士计

划或准备去做某事，这样听音时就可以集中注意力去听相关部分，尤其是谓语动

词。

「例题」

A)Lookforamoreexpensivehotel.

B)Gotoanotherhotelbybus.

C)Trytofindaquietplace.

D)Takeawalkaroundthecity.

W：Idon'tthinkwecanfindabetterhotelaroundhereatthistime.

M：Lefswalkalittlefurthertoseeifthereisanotherone.Ijustcan'tbearthe

trafficnoisehere.

Q：Whatwillthespeakersmostprobablydo?

②某人正在做什么。选择项通常是动词的-ing形式。有时也会出现句子，

但其谓语动词都是进行时的形式。这类测试题的提问方式比较单一，一般都是

What'stheman/womandoingnow?或Whataretheydoingnow?这种类

型的测试往往比较简单，只要集中注意力听清对话中的谓语动词基本都能作出正

确的判断。

「例题」

A）Lookingfbrayounglady.

F竹韵

B)Lookingforherwristwatch.

C)Lookingforayounggentleman.

D)Lookingforamanwearingawristwatch.

W：Excuseme,sir,buthaveyouseenayounggentlemanlookingforhiswrist

watch?

M：Ayoungman,Madam?

Q：What'sthewomandoing?

③某人提出去做什么。这类测试中，对话中的一方针对另一方提出的要求

或建议，主动提供帮助。试题的选择项通常为动词原形或动词不定式。解题时，

通常要集中注意力听清楚对话中第二个人的谈话，特别是谓语动词。

「例题」

A)Goouttowork.B)ListencarefullytoJohn.

C)Becalmandpatient.D)Dotheeasiestthing.

W：I'mreallyangryatJohn.Heneverlistenstome.

M：Takeiteasy,Alan.Thingswillworkout.

Q：WhatdoesthemanadviseAlantodo?

6)推理判断题

推理判断是英语四级听力测试中最常见的题型之一，难度较大。因为说话人

表达思想的方法比较含蓄，不能为选择书面答案提供直接的信息，这就要求考生

利用语音语调和逻辑推理的思维过程来判断对话的内在含义，领会说话人的真实

意图。听力理解不但要听懂具体的话语，而且要能听懂隐含的意义，能判断讲话

人的意图等。

这类题型在近儿年的考试中题量大，而且有增加的趋势。

「例一」

A)Janeislookingforasummerjob.

B)Janeispackingforthesummervacation.

C)Janeisonherwayhome.

D)Janeiseagertogohomeforthevacation.

M：IsJanelookingforwardtogoinghomeforthesummer?

W：Sheiscountingthedays.

Q：Whatdoesthewomanimply?(1999.6/7)

「例二」

A)Goonwiththegame

B)Drawpicturesonthecomputer.

C)Reviewhislessons.

D)Haveagoodrest.

W：Markisplayingcomputergame.

M：Shouldhedothatwhenthefinalexamisdrawingnear?

Q：WhatdoesthemanthinkMarkshoulddo?(2002.6)

「例三」

A)Theexamwaseasierthanthepreviousone.

B)Joeissurethathewilldobetterinthenextexam.

C)Joeprobablyfoiledintheexam.

D)Theoralpartoftheexamwaseasierthanthewrittenpart.

r竹韵

W：Listentome,Joe.Theexamisalreadyathingofthepast.Justforgetabout

it.

M：That'seasiersaidthandone.

Q：Whatcanweinferfromtheconversation?(2003.1)

「例四」

A)Themanisusuallythelasttohandinhistestpaper.

B)Themanhasmadeamessofhismidtermexam.

C)Themanhasbadstudyhabits.

D)Themanisadiligentstudent.

M：I'mexhausted.Istayedupthewholenightstudyingformymidtermmath

exam.

W：Butwhydoyoualwayswaituntilthelastminute?

Q：Whatdoesthewomanimply?(2004.1)

时间有限，此处不能把短对话的所有类别一一概括，考生须记住，做简短对

话体题型时要：①快速浏览选择项，这是对付一切听力考试都行之有效的方法。

②根据卷面信息对谈话内容和提问形式进行预测。③注意抓住听力对话中的关键

词汇，如but,however,because,forexample等。4.*书面材料只有选项,听完以

后才给问题。
