如何避免短对话中的听力陷阱？.docVIP

2006年12月,新四级考试在全国范围内首次推出,其中变化最大的就是听力部分,分值占总分的比例提高到35%(老四级20%),由此可见,听力越来越受到重视。好在听力短对话部分与以往相比,并没有太多变化,考生可以此为突破口,稳拿分,弥补其他听力弱项的不足 听力短对话不同于长对话,它篇幅短,不需要太多技巧来捕捉信息。也正是由于这个特点,命题人在出这部分题时,往往会设置一些陷阱。下面我就将几种常见陷阱罗列出来,以提醒大家提高警惕。陷阱一:前句误导,后句表态。 特征:标志性转折词but。听这部分时,重在注意听but后的内容。例如: M: If you aren’t doing anything particular, shall we see the new play at the Grand Theater tonight? W: Sounds great. But I’ve got to go over my notes for tomorrow’s midterm. Q: What does the woman imply? (2005年1月真题) A) She has to study for the exam. B) She is particularly interested in plays. C) She is eager to watch the new play. D) She can lend her notes to the man. 此题选A)。关键信息词是but, woman 说sounds great是肯定对方的观点,给人以她同意man的提议的假象,但实际上but之后的内容才是说话人的真实打算。故选A)。陷阱二:时间倒置,扰乱思维。 特征:标志性词before或after等。一般speaker会说一大串所干的事情,但是不按照先后的顺序,以扰乱考生的思维。例如: M: Can you stop by the post office and get me some envelopes and 39 cents stamps? W: Well, I am not going to stop by the post office, but I can buy you some at the bookstore after I see the dentist on Market Street. Q: Where will the woman go first? (2006年6月真题) A) To the dentist’s. B) To the market. C) To the post office. D) To the bookstore. 此题选A)。woman说她先看牙医,然后说可以在书店给man买信封和邮票。所以,woman 先去的地方是after后的内容。故选A)。陷阱三:选项信息杂糅,模棱两可。 这类题最麻痹人,命题人只要稍微将对话中的主语、地点状语和谓语动词换个位置,就得出了三个看似正确的选项。考生倘若做题时没注意此陷阱,就很可能失分。例如: W: Are you still teaching at the ju-nior high school? M: Not since June. My brother and I opened a restaurant as soon as he got out of the army. Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? (2007年6月真题) A) He quit teaching in June. B) He has left the army recently. C) He opened a restaurant near the school. D) He has taken over his brother’s business 此题选A)。woman 问man是否还在教书,man 回答六月份后就没教了。选项B)错在he,而应该是his brother；选项C)错在状语near the school。所以大家在听时,切记不要过分注重听单词,而应重点把握对话的含义。陷阱四:看似答非所问,实则暗藏玄机。 这类对话,对话中的回答可能仅是一句疑问句或陈述句,但却多表示对对方所做事的否定与责备。考生只要注意到speaker的语气,结合语境,也就不难答对题。例如: W: My headache is killing me. I thought it was going away, but now it’s getting worse and worse. M: I told yo
