(二) 第一節(jié)的解題技巧
1、 考點預測
在聽錄音之前,考生應該抓緊時間,集中精力審讀題干和表格中已經提供的句子中所帶的信息,限度推測短文或者對話的主題內容,以方便在聽錄音時有的放矢,做好考題的定位。針對表格題自身的特點,考生應可以通過掃描表格的橫行、豎列,對表格中提供的信息種類,形式進行比較,大概猜測出表格中所要補充的信息是什么類型。比如下面的一個例子:
Information about University of Central England and City University, London
University of Central England City University, London
Established in the year 1. 1 894
Number of undergraduates 2. 4 744
Percentage of overseas Students 3. 34%
Number of Postgraduates 3 378 4.
Whether giving language help for overseas students (Y/N) Yes 5.
考生即使不聽錄音,也可以通過已知的信息推測出第1,2,4個空白處都應該填數字,而第三個空白處應該填入一個百分比,第5個空白處填Yes 或者No。這樣在聽錄音的時候,就可以分別去尋找相應信息。
2、好記性不如爛筆桿
在聽第一遍錄音時,考生一定要養(yǎng)成邊聽邊做筆記的習慣,不能夠被動地接受所有的信息,而應該在聽錄音時,快速地記下一些關鍵詞和高頻考點,如地點,時間,數字等很難記憶但是出題率極高的內容。這要求考生在平時做聽力練習或者泛聽練習的時候,就養(yǎng)成勤動筆的好習慣,盡量做到用最少的語言,最快速的方法,記下最多的內容。考生可以利用第1遍錄音與第2遍錄音之間的間隔對所做的聽力筆記進行整理,稍微理清文章思路。做筆記對于Part B的簡要回答問題和補齊句子同樣非常重要。
3、回放錄音時注意檢查
考生聽第2遍錄音時首先要補齊沒有做的答案,其次檢查已經填寫的答案是否回答正確、完整。有時在一句話中出現了兩個信息要填入空白處,考生在聽第一遍時往往注意了前面的信息,在記錄時往往就忽視了第二個信息是什么。因此,聽第2遍時一定是要先補后面的信息,再補充前面的信息。在最后,考生應當充分利用給出的20秒的時間檢查表格填充的形式是否正確,還要注意單詞拼寫錯誤、數字表達方式等是否準確,有沒有忽視語法,尤其是單復數問題。
4、做題原則
做表格填充題這一特殊題型,做題原則是“所聽即所得”,也就是說,考生聽到的內容,就是考題所要求的答案。但是有時候命題者也會進行一些小改動,比如數字上的計算題(時間計算或者價格計算),不直接在錄音中告訴答案,而要進行簡單的計算。碰到這類題型時,考生應該充分發(fā)揮前面做的聽力筆記的作用,根據聽力原文中已知的信息進行填充。一般來說此類的計算都比較簡單,只涉及最基本的加減乘除運算。
(三) 第二節(jié)的命題思路
聽力考試的第二節(jié)考察考生理解具體或者總體信息的能力。考生根據聽到的一段280-320詞的獨白或對話,補全考題中所給的句子或簡要回答給出的問題。該小節(jié)錄音材料將播放兩遍。問題在提干中給出,不再在錄音中播放。本小節(jié)一共五道題,播放錄音前有25秒的答題時間,第一遍錄音放完后有50秒答題時間,第二遍錄音播放完后有30秒完成答案和檢查答案時間。
本節(jié)考試中仍以細節(jié)題為主,考查考生對給定范圍細節(jié)的定位和獲取事實性具體信息的能力。出題點集中在時間、地點、天氣、人物、數字、電話號碼和價格等細節(jié)信息上。由于考題中已給出所要求細節(jié)內容,因此考生只需要聽懂原文并進行合理定位即可。主題題型比較簡單,考察能力也與第一節(jié)相似。相對第一小節(jié)來說,聽力考試第二小節(jié)加入了考查考生把握全文總體信息能力的題型,如主觀題,態(tài)度題,推斷總結題等,因此加大了考試難度。要求考生對材料中涉及的細節(jié)內容以及材料中涉及的某個方面的具體內容進行總結和概括,比如某個事件發(fā)生的背景,某種條件等;要求考生對對話或者獨白的主要內容,主要目的,講話者的態(tài)度,立場能夠做出一定推斷。關鍵還是考生能不能在第一次聽后能否對材料有個大概的理解。如果可以的話,則第二次就能有的放矢。在該段材料的題目設計中大都是特殊疑問句。題目多關于材料的細節(jié)、情節(jié)和主題等。有時也要求考生對材料所給予的線索做出推斷。錄音材料一般以記敘文為主,素材廣泛。
經典例題:
Part B
Direction:
For Question 6-10, you will hear a talk by a well-known U.S. journalist. While you listen, complete the sentences and answer the questions. Use not more than 3 words for each answer. You will hear the recording twice. You now have 25 seconds to read the sentences and questions below. (5 points)
Besides reporters, who else were camped out for days outside the speaker’s home? 6.
One reporter got to the speakers apartment pretending to pay 7.
The speaker believed the reporter wanted a picture of her looking 8.
Where a correction to a false story is usually placed? 9.
According to the speaker, the press will lose readers unless the editors and the news directors 10.
[聽力原文]
W: When I was getting divorced in 1975,reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldn"t let him in .He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. I just couldn"t believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves as shavings the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesn"t matter how personal the matter may be. People don"t trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in groups to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, it is usually buried among advertisements. I have received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know what is true in the press these days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious, responsible and honest reporters. Don"t judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors-take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers of see on television news.
