英语四级听力各大题型解题方法 小对话(short conversations) 题目序号: 11-18 所占比例:8% 备考策略一： 做完真题分析听力原文时, 多总结同义替换(同根词以及同义词之间的替换)，比如hardly，barely，rarely，seldom等，并重点关注出现频率较多较难的短语,比如四级听力中考察过三次的短语stay awake. 例：[2010年6月第17题] (A) Few students understand Prof. Johnson's lectures. (B) Few students meet Prof. Jonson's requirements. (C) Many students find Prof. Johnson's lectures boring. (D) Many students have dropped Prof. Johnson's class. 听力原文： W: You're taking a course with Professor Johnson. What's your impression so far? M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee. Q: What does the man imply? 解析：通过听力原文中的划线句子,不难看出,正确答案为C选项.该结构曾在01年1月第5题和02年1月第9题中出现过，且均为考点。
而当时是以barely able to stay awake的形式出现的这就要求考生再去多总结一些同义替换，四级听力中类似表示否定的词，除了上文中出现过的hardly和barely，还常考的有rarely和seldom多掌握些类似词和短语，很多小对话都能迎刃而解了 备考策略二： 听力考试历来喜欢分场景进行考察这就要求考生多去熟悉一些常见的场景词汇例如校园，职场，机场，酒店，餐馆，健身房等场景的词汇 例：[2009年12月第16题] (A) She must have paid a lot for the gym. (B) She is known to have a terrific figure. (C) Her gym exercise has yielded good results. (D) Her effort to keep fit is really praiseworthy. 听力原文： W: I've been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape. M: You look terrific. It seems that your effort has paid off. Q: What does the man imply about the woman? 解析：通过划线部分的听力原文不难看出正确选项为C，但这道题难点在于很多考生不认识诸如gym(健身房)，figure(身材)，work out(锻炼身体)，pay off(取得成功)等健身场景的词汇。
最后，小对话实在听不懂的情况下，考生采取避开那些明显被播读到的选项的方法，比直接从四个选项中蒙一个，正确概率相对要高一些 例：[2010年12月第17题] (A) He owns a piece of land in the downtown area. (B) He has got enough money to buy a house. (C) He can finally do what he has dreamed of. (D) He is moving into a bigger apartment. 听力原文： M: I did extremely well on the sale of my downtown apartment. Now, I have enough money to buy that piece of land I've had my eye on and build a house on it W: Congratulations!Does that mean you'll be moving soon? Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? 解析：这道题的正确答案为C选项，另外三个选项均被明显播读，所以被排除。

(A) They cannot see the firefighters because of the smoke. (B) They do not realize the danger they are in. (C) They cannot hear the firefighters for the noise.

(B) Kids should learn not to be afraid of monsters. (C) Carelessness can result in tragedies. (D) Informative speeches can save lives. One of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked the fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster.(Q26答案点，视听一致+同义替换) To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. (Q27答案点，视听一致+同义替换)He displays fire fighters' equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. "If you see us," Velez tells them, "don't hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you。
" Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it's a fact that informative speaking saves lives.(Q29答案点1) For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, (Q28答案点，视听一致+同义替换)by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.

4， 第三遍放音时： 前八个单词：补全 后三个单词：继续补全 5、最后誊写时，检查名词单复数，动词的时态(可根据空格前后的动词时态判断);不会写的形容词或副词放弃;名词或动词尽量找替代词进行补全，保证所写句子结构的完整性 例：2009年12月复合式听写 In the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be (36)classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive, and process. Factual writing provides (37)background information on an author, composer or artist, or on a type of music, literature, or art. Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket or (38)album cover, and longer pieces such as an article describing a style of music, which you might read in a music (39)appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a (40)context for your study of the humanities. As its name (41)implies, descriptive writing simply describes, or provides an (42)image of a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the (43)instruments a composer included in a musical composition. So estimate pictures or sounds in a reader's mind by calling up specific details of the work.(44) Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing. Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about a result. (45)It tells the reader how to do something. For example, explaining the technique to shoot a film. This kind of writing is often found in art, where understanding how an artist created a certain effect is important. (46)Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing. 解析： (36)题录音时classified易与后面的into进行连读，造成听力难点，但考生可从空格左边的"can be"结构判断出其为被动语态结构，即使未听出过去分词，之后誊写检查时也应该自行改正。
(41)题同理，从空格后边的"describes"和"provides"可判断出该句子应为一般现在时，而"its name"是第三人称单数，因此imply应改为implies 另：以y结尾的名词和动词的复杂变形极易在复合式听写中被考察 扩充：元音字母+y结尾的名词变复数，直接+s 例：boys 辅音字母+y结尾的名词变复数，y改i+es 例：humanities 元音字母+y结尾的动词变形，直接+s/ed 例：plays/played 辅音字母+y结尾的动词变形，y改i+es/ed例：implies/implied (44)题，若在预览题目时已经判断出Humanities, Descriptive, Critical和Writing为高频词，则该句的首尾部分在听写时可直接写为：DW in the H和CW，为第二、三遍的补全有效节省了不少时间另，literature一类的学科名词近年来多次被考察，均为难点，所以考生平时最好多去总结记忆一些学科名词以下是四级听力中出现过的一些学科名词难点：Literature(文学);architecture(建筑);finance(金融);economics(经济);philosophy(哲学);psychology(心理学);biology(生物);physics(物理)。
(45)题，难点在于两个词，technique和shoot，动词和名词若省略影响较大，考生在考试时，可把technique替换成science, skill等词，把shoot替换成make，则可提高得分率 (46)题，actually是该句的难词，但其为副词，若考生不确定能不能拼写对，不如放弃，避免写错倒扣分而稍难的imformational在之前的文章中已出现过，如预览过文章有一定印象，照抄即可 高频词汇 单词及短语的反复考察是四级听力的一大特点笔者就用以下七个高频词汇举例，希望引起考生对在真题中反复出现的重点词汇的重视 ①paper 纸张;试卷;报纸;论文 常见考点：在报纸登广告，写论文 例句：I'd like to place an advertisement for a used car in this Sunday edition of your paper. ②security 安全;保障;证券 常见考点：安全感，安稳的工作，社会保险制度 例句：Travel and social security plus relocation expenses are paid. ③complain 抱怨 常见考点：抱怨工作、学习、生活 例句：Mary is always complaining about her job. ④interview 面试 常见考点：面试归来说经验，面试进行中 例句：You seem very confident about the job interview, don't you? ⑤appointment 约会;预约 常见考点：与医生、老师、律师、房东预约 例句：Why didn't you make an appointment to see the doctor last week when you first twisted your ankle? ⑥get through/be through with 完成;看完 常见考点：完成工作/作业;看完小说 例句：I had a hard time getting through this novel. ⑦out of+名词 常见考点：(书)绝版;(人)失去联系;(货物)没有库存 例句：I've been out of touch with most of my old friends, only one or two still drop me a line occasionally.。
