非常有用的听抄训练.docVIP

极为有用的听抄训练 我总在听力班上与同学们说：“the importance of dictation can never be overemphasized”。听抄是最能提高大家听力“精度”的训练，它将整个听力的 过程分解开来，第一遍将passage 完整读给练习者听，使他（她）对此有一个大 致的印象，第二、三遍根据意群缓慢读出，此时，练习者应当将每一个词写下来。 最后passage 再被完整地读一遍以供练习者检查。 大家在下载区下载了十个dictation 训练的MP3 文件后，可以进行练习了， 相应的文本已经登在下面。给自己打个分吧！总分 10 分，动、名、形容、副词 错一个扣0.5 分，这里的动词不包括be 动词；其他类型的词（含标点符号）错 一个不扣分，错两个扣0.5 分，错三个扣1 分。同一词重复出现，每次都写错， 只算错一次。你的得分能不能在八分以上？ DICTATION 1 Human beings can locate sound sources by comparing in the brain the sounds which arrive at each ear. Try a simple experiment: ask a friend to sit in a chair and to close his eyes. Tell him to sit facing in one direction and not to move his head. Make a sharp sound, for example, by clicking the fingers, blowing a whistle or striking a piece of metal, about two meters away from him. Get your friend to point to the source of the sound. Now make the sound at different places around him, still about two meters away. See how good he is at locating the sounds. Make sure that the room is almost silent and do not distract the subject by other noises. Note carefully his performance with sounds in the medial plane. The result will probably show one important factor in location: it is not very accurate when the sound source is at points of equal distance from the two ears. DICTATION 2 Surprisingly many English people go on holiday only to return in need of another one. People who normally live quiet, ordinary lives, traveling to and from their work everyday, watching television in the evenings and doing a little gardening on Sundays, decided to take holidays that require the training and fitness of an athlete. Some are astonished and angry because at the end of a couple of days, they ache all over, have pains in their joints and blisters on their heels. Others, accustomed to our cool, rainy summers, spend their time abroad burning themselves in the sun, and eating foreign foods which upset their digestions. The doctor’s surgery is always full of returned holiday-makers in Septe
