計算題
計算題在四六級英語聽力中屬于比較難的題型,要求同學(xué)們不僅能分辨不同的時間、金錢等數(shù)量概念,還應(yīng)能將聽到的各個數(shù)量聯(lián)系起來進行加減運算。如：
① M: Your son seems to have made much progress in playing the piano. Does he attend any piano classes?
W: Yes, he takes lessons twice a week, but from next week on, he will go to the class on Saturday evenings, too.
Q: How often will the woman's son have piano lessons from next week on?
A. Once a week.
B. Twice a week.
C. Three times a week.
D. Four times a week.
兩次加自然是三次,答案是C。
② W: Professor Clark said that the mid-term exam would cover the first 15 lessons.
M: Really? I thought it only included the first 12 lessons. Then I must spend the weekend going over the rest of the lessons.
Q: How many lessons must the man review over the weekend?
A. Five lessons.
B. Three lessons.
C. Twelve lessons
D. Fifteen lessons.
這是簡單的計算題,只要同學(xué)們不將答案誤認為是C或D,就不會出錯。
③ W: Here's a 10-dollar bill. Give me two tickets for tonight's show please.
M: Sure. Two tickets and here is '1,40 change.
Q: How much does one ticket cost?
A.'1.40. B.'4.30. C.'6.40. D.'8.60
10美元,兩張票,找零1.40美元,說明每張票為4.30美元。
從以上例子可以看出,含有數(shù)量概念的題,對話中提到的數(shù)量一般不可能為正確答案,總要同學(xué)們進行一些簡單的加減運算。
4）言外之意、弦外之音
推測說話者話中之話是聽力中必考的題型。從試題的設(shè)計特點來看,大體有一下幾種：
(1)對虛擬語氣的考查
包含虛擬語氣的聽力考題中一般都有"是與非"相對的選項,這就要求同學(xué)們了解虛擬語氣的表意功能,根據(jù)虛擬語氣判斷正確選項。如：
①W: I'm thinking of going to Austin for a visit. Do you think it's worth seeing?
M: Well, I wish I had been there.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A. The man is planning a trip to Austin.
B. The man has not been to Austin before.
C. The man doesn't like Austin. had been there.說明說話人沒有去過。
② W: If it hadn't been snowing so hard, I might have been home by 9 o'clock.
M: It's too bad you didn't make it. Jane was here and she wanted to see you.
Q: What happened to the woman?
A. She got home before 9 o'clock.
B. She had a bad cold.
C. She had a car accident.
D. She was delayed.
If it hadn't been snowing so hard, I might have been home by 9 o'clock.說明因為雪太大,說話者未能在9點前到家。也就是說she was delayed。
(2)對建議的考查
建議題要求同學(xué)們掌握建議的各種表達方式,根據(jù)建議選擇正確選項。如：
① W: The movie starts in 5 minutes and there's bound to be a long time.
M: Why don't we come back for the next show? I'm sure it would be less crowded.
Q: What is the man suggesting?
A. Coming back for a later show.
B. Waiting in a queue.
C. Coming back in five minutes.
D. Not going to the movie today.
Why don't…?上一種建議表達方式,根據(jù)該句所表達的內(nèi)容可以判斷答案是A。
②W: We do need another bookshelf in this room. But the problem is the space for it.
M: How about moving the old dining table to the kitchen？
Q: What does the man suggest they should do?
A. Finding a larger room.
B. Sell the old table.
C. Buy two bookshelves.
D. Rearrange some furniture.
根據(jù)moving the dining table to the kitchen來判斷答案為D。
建議的表達方式還有：
Why not …? What do you think of …?
If I were you/If I were in your shoes, I would …
Shall we …? I suggest ….
You'd better/You ought to….
(3) 對話題的考查
話題指會話雙方所談?wù)摰脑掝},要求同學(xué)們具有概括能力。如：
① W: Do you want a day course or an evening course?
M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.
Q: What are they talking about?
A. The choice of courses.
B. A day course.
C. An evening course.
D. Their work.
兩個人談?wù)摰氖沁x白天的課還是晚上的課,由此可以判斷答案應(yīng)該是A。
② M: I was terribly embarrassed when some of the audience got up and left in the middle of the performance.
W: Well, some people just can't seem to appreciate the real-life drama.
Q: What are they talking abou
