英语听力答题技巧总结 一、学会预测 预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示,如所给答案选项,段落 或对话标题等已有知识,对即将听到的段落或对话内容实行预测。 1. 从答案选项中预测: Q: What does Tom do? A. He’s a truck driver. B. He’s a ship captain. C. He’s a pilot. 录音: W: Tom flew to Anchorage last night, then took some passengers from there to Dallas . M:Yeah, but he couldn‘t land because the airport in Dallas was snowed in. 从选项看,问题应是关于职业方面的,再从flew, passengers, airport这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。 2. 从说话人口气预测: 在A,B两人的对话中,如果B是附和或赞成,往往说“Yes”, “I agree”,“Sure”,“I think so”等。但如A用否定句,B表 同意时则用“No”,“Neither / Nor?”等。 例如: A:Harvey doesn’t seem to fit into this class. B:No, he is really a fish out of water. 二、做简要笔记 听录音时快速,准确,简要地记下相关信息(包括数字,人名,地名,关键词),前提是不要影响跟听速度,采用自己习惯的符号。
例:How much will the man pay for the tickets? A. $18 B. $24 C. $30 录音: W: Tickets for the movie are $ 6 for adults, half price for children. M:All right, I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children, please. 笔记可简化为:$ 6 A(A代表adult),C代表children,3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half C(2) 三、听清数据,简要记录,加以运算。 在获取时间信息时,不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。高考听力考查时间时往往要实行简单的时间换算。 At what time does the train to Leeds leave? A. 3:00 B. 3:15 C. 5:00 录音: W: Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to Manchester is? M:Sure. Well, it’s 3 now. The next train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours, but you can take the train to Leeds which leaves in 15 minutes, and then get off at Manchester on the way. 对话中提到了三个时间It‘s 3 now, in 2 hours, in 15 minutes.现在是3点,开往Manchester的火车要两小时后才开,即The train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours。若简单机械地把3点和2点相加,会得出火车5点才开的错误选项C。 数字类问题分辨别类和计算类两种:

You put 30 pence in the slot and take the ticket out here. ↘Key Part 2 Listening and Note-Taking Frog Legs Script A. Listen to some sentences and fill in the blanks with the missing words. 1. Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries. 2. By 1977 the French government banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. 3. Indian scientists have describ ed as “disastrous” the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands. 4. The United States imported more than 6.5 million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.

英语四级听力技巧总结 英语四级听力技巧总结是怎样的,以下是小编精心整理的相关内容,希望对大家有所帮助! 英语四级听力技巧总结入门阶段,是对以前很少进行听力训练,甚至没有听过英语的朋友而言。这个阶段,是起步阶段,也是耗时最长的阶段,就我的经历而言,在这一部分,应该采取如下的训练方法: 1. 首先要纠正自己的英语发音,自己在口语上还算能过关,如果自己的发音都不行,那怎么可能听懂。 2. 选择难度较小,语速较慢的听力材料来训练。建议听的材料不要太长,以一段几百字为宜,内容最好是生活和文化方面,最好先不要听科技、伦理方面的文章,即使你能看懂,但从初学者的角度考虑,你听起来一定费力 3. 听的时间长度:以每天45分钟左右为宜,时间不能太短,这样就收不到训练的效果,但也不能强迫自己听的太多,毕竟这一阶段还有很多听不懂的地方,可以说有时候自己听得象在云里雾里,这样的状态持续的时间太长,对自信心是一个严重的打击,会严重地影响听的兴趣。 4. 听的频率,一天一次即可,选择一个固定的时间听,最好是自己精力比较旺盛的时间段。 5. 听的过程中的方法选择:唯有聚精会神,没有私心杂念才行,这只有通过不断地训练才能达到。要做到避免外
界因素的干扰。 6. 经典听力材料:VOA 特别英语。主要是新闻、文化方面的内容,语速90词每分钟,最适合有一定词汇量的听力初学者进行听力锻炼。我听的时候这个节目的时间段是晚上9点半到10点,我每晚的这个时间都给了SPECIAL ENGLISH,持续了3个月。建议采取的听力方法:做听力笔记,手中有笔和纸,及时地记下一些不熟知的词汇,因为特别英语的常用词只有1600左右,把这些常用词都弄懂,完全听懂它只是一个时间问题。 备注:这一阶段最重要,一定需要耐心和毅力,如果读写基础还行的话,应该能在2、3个月之内完成这个过程,进入攻坚阶段。 掌握了一定的备考方法之后,也要具备一定的答题技巧,下面小编就教大家几招。 第一招:相关保留原则 当选项中有两项表达意思相近时,那么正确答案必在这两项之中!这时只需稍微听一听对话,即可知答案,如果出现了双重相关,便可直接确认正确选项,只需听完对话加之认证一下即可! 典型例题: 4. A) Visiting the Browning. B) Writing a postcard.

提高英语听力的技巧 :怎样大大提升英语听力水平 我们在学英语中,只练"听力"而不练"发音",这就是苦练听力不见突破的原因。 从理论上说,你能发出什么样的声音,你才能听懂什么样的声音及近似声音。如果你 根本发不出、发不准你所要听懂的那种声音,或者说你发出的声音与它相差十万八千里, 那你就不可能彻底听懂那种声音,不可能最后征服和掌握那种声音。不客气地讲,英语发音"零分"的人去练习英语听力,绝对是浪费时间和生命,是不会有半点可收获的结果的。 语言的发音不是大自然里刮风或鸟叫的简单发音,而是复杂到可以传递任何大脑智慧的声音,要想听懂语言的发音,非亲口能发出这种声音不可。 那么怎样才是最快最好的练习英语听力的方法呢? 那就是:把发音和听力一起练,两者不分家。具体地说就是:只是听完了英语还不行,要把听到的一切英语声音都尽量原模原样地从嘴里模仿出来。那种"发音准不准无所谓、 发音地道不地道无所谓、能说英语就行"的错误观点绝对要不得。要练习英语听力就必须 练习地道准确的英语发音,如果你的英语发音不地道准确,你反过来能分辨和听懂别人地 道准确的英语发音吗? 如果你对自己的英语听力不满意,如果你同样陷入英语听力久练不成的困惑,就请你 把英语听力放一放吧,回头练一下英语发音,发音小练一步,听力大展宏图。 请不要以为又要练听力又要练发音是两个负担,两者一起练习只会比单独练习一个的 负担大大减小,时间大大缩短,进步大大加快。 :提高英语听力的方法,3步搞定 提升英语听力的方法,三步搞定 对于英语学习者来说,听力无疑是学习过程中的一个拦路虎。中国英语学习者大多在 课堂中接受中式英语教学。那么如何有效地在这种环境中突围,成为一个英语听力达人呢?其实,只需三步,就可以轻松搞定英语听力。 第一步:泛听以增加听感 泛听不仅指题材广泛,也指平时不集中注意力状态下的听力。这样做的目的是“磨耳朵”,增加你的听感。你可以把听力放着,一边听一边做着其他的事。做这种泛听有一个 技巧,就是可以先听几遍,然后了解文本的大概含义,然后再接着听几遍,这样可以有效 地增加泛听的效果。另外,听力材料的主题必须多样,不光是新闻类听力如voa,bbc等, 也必须包括经济类如the Economicst,生活类如疯狂英语等。总之我们必须使自己熟悉各种各样的题材,并

Perhaps they will use (6) solar heating, although I don't know, in this country, perhaps we (7) won't be able to do that so much.

Yes, you'll have things like (10) garage doors which open automatically when you (11) drive up, perhaps electronic (12) sensors which will (13) recognize you when you, when you come to the front door even. Perhaps (14) architects and designers will be a bit more (15) imaginative about how houses are designed and perhaps with the (16) shortage of space people will think of putting gardens (17) on the roof and, and maybe rooms can be (18) expanded and, and (19) contracted* depending on what you use them for, so perhaps there'll be a bit more (20) flexibility about that.

听力技巧 一、学会预测 预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示,如所给答案选项,段落或对话标题等已有知识,对即将听到的段落或对话内容进行预测。 1. 从答案选项中预测: Q: What does Tom do? A. He’s a truck driver. B. He’s a ship captain. C. He’s a pilot. 录音原文:W: Tom flew to Anchorage last night, then took some passengers from there to Dallas . M: Yeah, but he couldn't land because the airport in Dallas was snowed in. 从选项看,问题应是关于职业方面的,再从flew, passengers, airport 这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。 2. 从说话人口气预测: “Sure”, “I agree”,在A,B两人的对话中,如果B是附和或赞成,往往说“Yes”, “I think so”等。但如A用否定句,B表同意时则用“No”,“Neither / Nor?”等。 例如:A: Harvey doesn't seem to fit into this class. B: No, he is really a fish out of water. 二、做简要笔记听录音时快速,准确,简要地记下有关信息(包括数字,人名,地名,关键词),前提是不要影响跟听速度,采用自己习惯的符号。 例:How much will the man pay for the tickets? A.$18 B. $24 C. $30 原文:W: Tickets for the movie are $ 6 for adults, half price for children. M: All right, I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children, please. 笔记可简化为:$ 6 A(A代表adult),C代表children,3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half C(2) 三、听清数据,简要记录,加以运算。 在获取时间信息时,不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。高考听力考查时间时往往要进行简单的时间换算。 At what time does the train to Leeds leave? A. 3:00 B. 3:15 C. 5:00 录音原文:W: Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to Manchester is? M: Sure. Well, it's 3 now. The next train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours, but you can take the train to Leeds which leaves in 15 minutes, and then get off at Manchester on the way. 对话中提到了三个时间It's 3 now, in 2 hours,in 15 minutes. 现在是3点,开往Manchester的火车要两小时后才开,即The train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours。若简单机械地把3点和2点相加,会得出火车5点才开的错误选项C。 数字类问题分辨别类和计算类两种: 1. 要注意区分-teen和-ty及four和five的发音;辨别多位数,如电话号码,门牌等 2. 计算时间,钱款,距离,年龄,人或物的数量等;听出数字间的关系,更要听清问题,因为对运算方法的要求通常寓于问题中;注意more, less, as much(many)as, another, double, a couple of; to, past, quarter; 记住时间是60进制 如出现几个数字,应注意鉴别问的是那一个。 例:At what time does the office open?
