四級聽力長對話包含兩個對話:Conversation One、Conversation Two
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section B
Conversation One
點(diǎn)評:
本長對話的內(nèi)容主要是關(guān)于合伙工作。對話內(nèi)容相較以往的長對話而言,比較簡單。依然是主要針對回答問題的人提問,就是對話中的男士。男士一開始主要是談他們在最初開始合作工作時(shí)遇到的問題,接下來談到問題最終如何得到解決,最后是他和同伴如何輪休年假。當(dāng)然,對話中公司名稱聽不懂,形成干擾。依然要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是不能糾結(jié)個別詞匯,而因小失大。
對話中圍繞工作的話題詞匯有:schedule:(工作)計(jì)劃,安排;sales representative:銷售代表;vacation:假期,休假;full-time employee:全職員工。
Conversation Two
點(diǎn)評:
本長對話主要是關(guān)于超速被罰。本對話中涉及到較多交通詞匯,有一定難度。對話一開始女士作為交警在學(xué)校附近逼停超出該路段限速的男士,但男士狡辯自己的速度計(jì)(speedometer)并沒顯示超速;女士再次提出要求審查男士的駕照,發(fā)現(xiàn)其駕照已經(jīng)過期。最后,男士因駕照過期而收到警告。本選材非常生活化,相信大部分考生應(yīng)該對這一話題并不陌生,通過日常常識也能做出不少判斷。
本對話中關(guān)于交通話題的詞匯:speed limit:限速;give you a ticket:開罰單;license :執(zhí)照,駕照;speedometer:n. 速度計(jì);里程計(jì)
Section C
【點(diǎn)評】本文討論的是美國人的時(shí)間觀念。開頭提出美國人非常看重時(shí)間規(guī)劃,以至于到了被認(rèn)為“手表控制人”的地步,接下來從語言角度給出證明,最后又從原因角度解釋說明。
本文的難點(diǎn)在于,開頭有長難句,包含插入語、比較級等,容易造成困擾。而在語言角度探討時(shí),有給出一系列動詞,容易出現(xiàn)漏聽及注意力分散。同時(shí),utmost, abruptly, reference, philosophy, productivity等較難詞匯也會帶來一定困擾。
空格整體分布較為均勻,除第三段兩空間隔較近,第二個容易錯過外,其它空填寫時(shí)間均較為充足。所填詞語格式比較重要,如-ed,-s等均是不可漏過的細(xì)節(jié)。
末日逃不到世界盡頭,還會依然在末日+1天帶來按部就班的四級。從今天上午的四級聽力最新真題來看,信末日被動待命不如信科學(xué)主動把握規(guī)律。聽力形式一切如常,語速110詞-120詞/分;英美音交替,題點(diǎn)分布等等。
上午聽力考試中所出現(xiàn)的破題詞匯,多數(shù)是經(jīng)歷過反復(fù)的拼讀訓(xùn)練!!并且總結(jié)的聽力出題規(guī)律再次重現(xiàn)!
以短對話部分八道題為例,11題推斷題,只要經(jīng)歷過聽力課堂訓(xùn)練,必會過濾出Why don't we...核心句型——兩者交流委婉態(tài)度建議句,進(jìn)而提前敏感播讀內(nèi)容。12題的場景核心實(shí)詞presentation; schedule; lecture hall; appointment; 特別是一號破題詞dentist全部命中,孩子們,當(dāng)耳畔飄蕩著熟悉的單詞是不是信心就爆棚了:)13題operation的熟詞僻義不僅聽力老師涉及,詞匯,閱讀等等單項(xiàng)授課老師也都反復(fù)總結(jié)。14題scholarship課堂已確定為中心校園詞,破題為生活短語deserve it, 從生活出發(fā)的聽力訓(xùn)練理念得到再次驗(yàn)證,“應(yīng)得的,活該”童鞋們覺得親切嗎:)15題傳統(tǒng)but 題。聽力試卷有BUT就為出題。關(guān)鍵是經(jīng)過訓(xùn)練的童鞋一定能聽出各種變態(tài)的but了吧:)16題 promote;image 定位準(zhǔn)確了是這兩個課堂提出的高頻詞了:)17題make it 準(zhǔn)時(shí)到達(dá)。18題Why don' t you AGAIN!!
綜上來看,只要把握規(guī)律,反復(fù)操練,拼讀結(jié)合,聽力部分開始之前,能感受到童鞋們的臉上不再是緊縮眉頭緊閉雙唇,取而代之是充分享受學(xué)習(xí)的進(jìn)步帶來的知識的通透,發(fā)現(xiàn)英語語言其實(shí)可以很生活,很人文,很美好,很時(shí)尚。
