1、四级长对话听力四级长对话听力Long Conversationsl一、三大基本功一、三大基本功l二、句型熟悉二、句型熟悉l三、长对话设题点解密三、长对话设题点解密l四、四、10大听前预测方法大听前预测方法l五、真题演练五、真题演练一、三大基本功一、三大基本功l（一）听前预测l(二)听时抓“点”l（三）注意使用缩略语（三）注意使用缩略语一、三大基本功一、三大基本功l（一）听前预测l 1.先纵后横l 所谓“先纵”，就是首先通读每篇后的3-4个小题，找出关键词，前后联系，预测全篇大致主题。所谓“后横”，就是在仍有时间的情况下，通看各题选项，看看是否存在生词，总结长句的核心意思，以此预测考点和可能的答
2、案。l 两步预测都要注意随时做出标注,划出关键词或简写长句的大意,因为单凭记忆在高压的听力考试中是万万靠不住的。l 以2007年12月Conversation Two为例:l 23.A)She is thirsty for promotion.B)She wants a much higher salary.C)She is tired of her present work.D)She wants to save travel expenses.l 首先通过promotion,salary和work可得出本对话的大致主题是有关职业,再联系两次出现的wants,想到或许与求职有关,并顺理成章地
3、想到可能会谈到离职的原因、新职位的性质以及薪酬等等。这 就 是 上 面 所 说 的 先 纵 。此后我们可对选项中较长的词语做标注,通过听录音我们发现本题答案的对应信息在原文中是Im fed up with my job.,正是tired of的同义置换。这就是上面所说的后横。l 可见,事先标注关键信息,可让我们在听时将注意力集中到更小的点,起到事半功倍的效果。2.分清主次l与生活中的情形相似,双方对话的时候常有主次之分,如:一方询问,另一方作答时,关键信息多出现在作答一方,考点自然也就多出于此。分清对话双方的主次对于我们预测考点出现的位置很重要,方法也简单易行。l以2006年12月Conver
4、sation Two为例:l800l 22.A)It was about a little animal.B)It took her six years to write.C)It was adapted from a fairy tale.D)It was about a little girl and her pet.l 23.A)She knows how to write best-selling novels.B)She can earn a lot of money by writing for adults.C)She is able to win enough support
5、from publishers.D)She can make a living by doing what she likes.l 24.A)The characters.B)The readers.C)Her ideas.D)Her life experiences.l 25.A)She doesnt really know where they originated.B)She mainly drew on stories of ancient saints.C)They popped out of her child-hood dreams.D)They grew out of her
6、long hours of thinking.lA d c al通看下划线部分不难发现,几乎所有的选项都与女性会话者有关,可料想此对话中男性会话者多提出问题,女性多做答复,听时当然主要听女性会话者所说的内容。(二)听时抓“点”l 有了充分的听前预测,听时的主要任务就是抓住考点,且掌握如下两个原则:l 1.考点均匀分布考点均匀分布,易出现在话轮转换处易出现在话轮转换处l 首先,长对话后设的3-4个小题一般均匀地分布在对话的每个回合,极少出现某一个回合包含两个考点的情况。这样,我们在一个对话回合中找到一个考点后,剩余的部分就可不做详听,让紧张的神经稍做放松,有利于将精力集中于下面的考点。l 其次,
7、考点的位置多是话轮转换的时候。具体的说,就是对话一方某段发言的开头和结尾部分,这也完全符合西方人的思维习惯,即在发言伊始多是开门见山,而在发言结尾处又总括强调。l 仍以2006年12月Conversation Two为例:l M:Hi,Miss Rowling,how old were you when you started to write?And what was your first book?l W:I wrote my first story when I was about six.It was about a small animal,a rabbit,I mean,and I
8、ve been writing ever since.(22题考点)l M:Why did you choose to be an author?l W:If someone asked me how to achieve happiness,step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do this.I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support mysel
9、f by writing.(23题考点)l M:Do you have any plans to write books for adults?l W:My first two novels were for adults.I suppose I might write another one,but I never really imagine a target audience when Im writing.The ideas come first,so it really depends on the ideas that grasp me next.(24题考点)l M:Where
10、did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?l W:Ive no idea where the ideas came from.And I hope Ill never find out.(25题考点)It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny wrinkle on the surface of my brain,which makes me think about the invisible train platform.l 2.重复率较高的词或短
11、语多成为考点重复率较高的词或短语多成为考点l 对话的主要内容理所当然会得到说话人的强调,而一个非常重要且明显的强调方式就是重复,故重复的词语往往能够揭示对话的主题。l 如问:What is the news coverage mainly about?【例7】(710分样卷-22)l【预览选项预览选项】l A The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.l B The fall of Karnaks capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.l C The epidemic
12、 that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.l D The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak.l 而原文中多次出现rebel forces,conflict,war等与叛乱相 关 的 词 语,也 可 判 断 本 题 答 案 为 A)T h e l a t e s t developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.l（三）注意使用缩略语（三）注意使用缩略语l 记笔记一定要迅速，而要想在有限的时间内尽可能比较全面
13、的记录重点信息，使用一定的缩略语和熟悉的符号是十分必要的，主要有以下几种方法：l 1)利用数学符号。l 如equal写成“=”;“”表示“unequal”;“”代表increase/up;“”表示result from/because/since/for/as;“”代表lead to/result in/has become/turn into;“”表示decrease/drop/dip/fall;“”代表about/almost;表示more than;表示 less than;“+”代表include/cover;“-”则是exclude等。l 2)利用数字和其他固定符号。l 能用数字或其
14、他固定符号代表的词全部用阿拉伯数字或符号，这样既能节约时间，又能避免拼写错误，如：twenty写成 20;nineteen eighty four记作1984;$=dollar;=pound;11 in the morning=11 am;11 in the evening=11 pm等。l 3)创造自己的速写符号。l 在平时的训练中也可以使用和创造一些符合自己习惯的缩略语和符号，如u可代表understand(ing);m可代表mean(ing);m=minute;s=second;h=hour;imp.=important/importance;nec.=necessary等。二、二、长对

32、就能将主要的内容都清楚地记在脑子里，几乎是不可能的。考生只有听一遍的机会，只能边听、边记、边答。l 边听边记是听力中一项非常重要的技能，但是做笔记并不是要把听到的每一个单词都记下来，笔记无非是帮助记忆的手段，只要能把重要的信息用可识别的符号记录下来，就算达到了目的。因此为了提高听与记的效率，应注意把握一定的技巧和原则。l1、对话的开头、对话的开头l主题句常常是在对话的开头，它对整个对话的内容起一个概括和提示的作用，实际上是说话人所谈论的中心话题。长对话中的第一题很可能是针对对话的开头提问，考查考生对整个对话的主题或所谈话题的把握。ll【例1】(07-6-19)l【预览选项】l A To go
33、sightseeing.l B To have meetings.l C To promote a new champagne.l D To join in a training program.l【边听边记】l M:Hi,Ann,welcome back.Hows your trip to the states?l W:Very busy,19I had a lot of meetings.l 19.Why did the woman go to New York?l【答案解析】l 选B。细节题。对话一开始，男士就问女士去美国的旅行怎么样，女士回答说很忙，她had a lot of meet
34、ings(要参加很多会议)，由此可知女士去纽约是去参加会议。l2、对话的结尾、对话的结尾l结尾处往往涉及到建议、决定或某种行为等，它对整个对话起到一个总结的作用。长对话的最后一题经常是针对对话的结尾设题，故留意其中的关键动词就成了解题的关键。l【例2】(新06-6-25)l A Changing her major.l B Spending less of her parents money.l C Getting transferred to the English Department.l D Leaving the university.l l W:They would be so di
35、sappointed though if I told them I was quitting.l 25.What is Karen thinking of doing?l【解析】细节题。对话结尾处女士通过进行时表明了自己的打算(I was quitting)。注意这里的quit是指退出现在的专业，而不是指退出大学，选择答案时需根据上下文，切忌根据常识进行判断。l3、对话中的一问一答、对话中的一问一答l长对话中，对话双方往往出现多个一问一答，而这恰恰是长对话的一个出题重点，对话后面问题往往就是对话原文中问题的照搬或是同义转述，因此其答案就是对话中紧接问题之后的答语，而且一般不会有同音或近音词的
36、干扰，因此对于这类题目答案的基本原则就是听到什么选什么。l【例3】(07-6-25)l【预览选项】l A Data collection.l B Training consultancy.l C Corporate management.l D Information processing.l【边听边记】l W:Whats your line of business,Mr.Johnson?l M:We are a training consultancy.l 25.What is the mans line of business?l【答案解析】l 选B。细节题。女士的提问即为本题的提问，答案
37、就在男士接下来的回答中。女士问男士Whats your line of business(做哪一行)，男士回答说We are a training consultancy(我们是培训咨询公司),由此可知答案为B。l 4、对话中逻辑关系处、对话中逻辑关系处l 长对话中经常会涉及到表示转折、因果等逻辑关系的短语或句式，这些地方也很受出题人的青睐。l【例4】(新06-6-22)l A Shes worried about the seminar.l B The man keeps interrupting her.l C She finds it too hard.l D She lacks int
38、erest in it.l W:No,Jim,I suppose I havent.I need to get through although,but I keep drifting away.l M:So it doesnt really hold your interest?l W:No,not really.I wouldnt bother with it,to be honest,but I have to read it for a seminar.Im at the university.l 22.Why cant Karen concentrate on the book?l【
39、解析】推断题。女士话中but转折后内容表明女士对那本书并不感兴趣，紧接着男士和女士的一问一答再次揭示本题的答案为D。l 5、对话中建议处、对话中建议处l 对话中一方给另一方提出的建议或意见常常会被作为出题的重点，因此，听音时要注意捕捉一些特殊的表达建议的句式，如Youd better,why not do?等。l【例5】(06-12-20)l A Study the map of Quebec Province.l B Find more about Quebec City.l C Brush up on her French.l D Learn more about the local cu
40、stoms.l M:Well,In fact,Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world.So20 youd better practice your French before you go.l W:Good advice.l 20.What does the man advise the woman to do before the trip?l【解析】细节题。由男士话中的youd better可知他建议女士在去旅行前先练习一下法语(practice FrenchBrush up on French)，故答
41、案为C。l 6、对话中比较处、对话中比较处l 形容词、副词的比较级和最高级，以及than,asas等引出的比较结构也是长对话题的设题重点之一。这类题目的选项中经常会含有比较结构，考生要学会利用选项所给提示抓取关键点。l【例6】(新06-6-23)l A The lectures are boring.l B The course is poorly designed.l C She prefers Philosophy to English.l D She enjoys literature more.l W:I should say,I dont like Dickens at all re
42、ally,the author,indeed,I am starting to like the whole course less and less.l M:Its not just the book,its the course as well?l W:Yeah,You see,I wanted to do philosophy rather than English,but my parents took me out of it.l 23.Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?l【解析】细节题。本题是在对话中的比较
43、处命题(like the course less and less)。女士话中的do philosophy rather than English表明女士宁愿学哲学而不愿学英语。rather than意为“而不是，不愿”。l 7、对话中列举、举例处、对话中列举、举例处l 对话中出现列举或举例的地方往往也是出题的重点，因此，当听到such as,for example,for instance,the first,the second等一类词语，应加以留意。l【例7】(710分样卷-Conversation One-20)l A It cost much more than its worth.
44、l B It should be brought up-to-date.l C It calls for immediate repairs.l D It can still be used for a long time.l W:Sure.Ive been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies.First of all,if we want to stay competitive,we need to modernize our factory.New equipment shouldve
45、been installed long ago.l 20.What does the woman say about the equipment of their factory?l【解析】细节题。女士说自己提出了一些新的生产和广告战略，接着列举了首要的一点(first of all)：设备需要尽快更新。l 8、对话中推测处、对话中推测处l must,may,can等情态动词常用于表示对现在或过去事实的推测，这些地方常常受到出题人的青睐。l【例8】(新06-6-Conversation One-21)l A The woman thinks Mr.Saunders is asking for
46、more than they can offer.l B Mr.Saunders will share one third of the womans responsibilities.l C Mr.Saunders believes that he deserves more paid vacations.l D The woman seems to be satisfied with Mr.Saunders past experience.l W:Well,you might just be the person weve been looking for.Do you have any
47、questions?l M:Uh-hum,if I were hired,how many accounts would I be handling?l 21.What can we conclude from the conversation?l【解析】推断题。由女士话中的推测句式You might just be the person可推知，女士似乎对男士过去的经验很满意。l 9、对话中的数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等、对话中的数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等相关信息相关信息l 遇到数字、人名、地名、时间、年代时要对相关信息做简要记录，尤其是选项中出现类似的概念时，在听音时更应重点留意。l【
48、例9】(710分样卷-24)l【预览选项】l A Late in the morning.l B Early in the afternoon.l C Sometime before dawn.l D Shortly after sunrise.l【边听边记】l M:Rebel forces are closing in,and its feared that they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where,it is believed,many government officials are hold
49、ing out.l 24.At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?l【答案解析】l 选C。细节题。根据原文中its feared that they will before daybreak.可知，当时报道的时间应该是在before daybreak(黎明破晓前)。dawn相当于daybreak。l 10、留意选项中的要点内容、留意选项中的要点内容l 正确选项往往与原文相似，或是原文的同义表达，因此应注意提取选项中的关键点，在听音时留意其是否在文中出现并加以记录。l【例4】(710分样卷-25)l【预览选项
50、】l A Inadequate medical care.l B Continuing social unrest.l C Lack of food,water and shelter.l D Rapid spreading of the epidemicl【边听边记】l W:what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?l M:Well,since the beginning of the conflict,starvation,and lack of clean water and adequate
