英语四级听力技巧.docx

1、英语四级听力技巧大学英语四级听力技巧按照新的教学大纲的要求，六级学生在学完1-6级基础阶段的英语课程后，对所给的英语口头材料应达到一定的理解程度。对题材熟悉，内容浅于课文，基本上无生词、语速每分钟为150个单词的材料，一遍可以听懂，准确率不低于70%。 通过对历年试卷的听力部分所作的题项分析，充分表明考生听力的高低完全取决于他们是否具备了以下4个方面的基础： 一. 坚实的语言基础 二. 一定的文化背景知识 三. 基本的听力技能 四. 正确有效的听音习惯 听力材料的选材原则一般基于以下三点：一. 对话部分为校园生活中的一般对话，句子结构和内容不太复杂. 二. 短文部分的材料是题材熟情节不太复杂的

2、故事、讲话或叙述等. 三. 所用词汇不超过教学大纲词汇表规定的范围. 听力内容:1. 短对话 (Short conversation)2. 长对话 (Long conversation)3. 短文 (Passages)4. 复合式听写(Compound dictation) 注意事项:1. 保持良好的心态，头脑要冷静，一个题听不懂不要过多纠缠。善于利用时间：（1）播放考场指令时，题目说明和例句时.（2）题与题之间的13秒间隔利用好.阅读选项，猜测谈话话题和可能问的问题：听前从所给的文字材料和答案选项等线索中发现一些背景信息，力求缩小谈话者的话题，它能帮助考生搞清所听内容的类型和结构甚至主题。考

3、生听的时候可避免过分注重每个单词从而影响对全篇中心思想的理解。考生应抢时间阅读试卷上的选项，争取主动，以便在听音时有针对性。根据选项猜测问的是时间、地点、人物、金钱、还是计划、打算、状态等等。 2. 阅读选项要一目十行，提高效率：听力不像阅读，它是单向性的、一次性的。时间有限，提高阅读选项的速度。3.手耳并用，简单做笔记：录音中的细节，如重要的数字、人物、地名等，仅大脑记忆很难完全记住。因此，考试中可以有目地的、有选择的加以记录，以便听完录音后能快速准确的选出答案。4.多做真题。十多年来的每年两度的四级考试，光是真题就积累了几十套了。这些真题的命题还是很有规律可循的。要找四级的感觉，就得多做真
