Where are the man and woman speaking? Where are the speakers now? Where will the man/the woman go? Where is the man/the woman? 4.时间数字计算题:对对话中出现的一些时间和数字进行提问,通常要经过一些简单的运算。 听力试题所涉及的数字包括:年代、时间、年龄、距离、速度、价格、数量等,要求回答对 话或某事在什么时间发生;或某人在什么时间做某事;或价格、数量等。在做数字计算题时,考生除了应该听清具体的数字,还应该注意表示倍数、百分率等的量词,例如:double, half, dozen, couple, thirty percent, three times, decade, century等等。同时,还要注意与数字有关的词,例如:more, less, before, ago, later等等。此外还要注意文中较长的数字。 此类问题的提问形式通常为: When/ At what time did the conversation/dialogue take place? When is the man/ the woman going to...? How much/How many...? How long...? How often...? 另外,当对时间进行提问时,也可能不用数字而用表示时间的短语来表示,考生应注意以下几点: a. 根据表示时间的关联词来判断事件发生的时间,如:before, after, when, while, then, until, later, right away, immediately, as soon as possible等。 b. 掌握年、月、日、星期等时间的表达方法。注意一些表示时间的词,如quarter, a couple of days, twilight, eve, fortnight(two weeks), dawn(daybreak), dusk(time just before it gets quite back)等。同时注意英、美不同的时间表达方式,如:2:15读作 a quarter past two(英)或two fifteen (美);2:30读作half past two(英) two thirty(美)等。 c. 有时候,文中通过从句或短语表示时间,而不出现具体表示时间的数字或表示时间概念的单词,这种情况也要引起注意。例如:"Aren't you glad the semester's over?"可以判断出时间为"at the end of the semester"。 d. 从选择项看到时间和数字题型后,要集中精力获取时间和数字的信息。把听到的表示时间的数字顺序记下来,并理解各项数字之间的关系。这样做是因为文中有时不仅仅出现一个表示时间的数字。如果单靠听而不做任何,最后很容易混淆数字间的关系,无法正确回答问题。 e. 听的时候注意近音的干扰要能准确区分:-teen /′ti:n/和/ti/。它们的区别不仅在于一个是长元音/i:/,另一个是短元音/i/;而且/′ti:n/是重读音节,而/ti/不重读。 f. 时间推算也是对话题目中的考点,同学们要学会英语中表示时间提前或推后的方法,如:提前或提早5分钟five minutes ahead of time; five minutes ahead of schedule; five minutes early; early by five minutes.推迟或吃到5分钟five minutes later; five minutes behind schedule; late by five minutes; be delayed/postponed for five minutes. g. 为了快而准地对数字有所反应,同学们要熟悉一些单词和表达方式: 时间:five o'clock sharp (5点整);on the dot(整点);the day before yesterday(前天); the day after tomorrow(后天);this time next week(下周此时); a fortnight(两周); weekly(每周); monthly(每月);quarterly(每季);yearly/annually(每年); a decade(十年);B.C.(公元前)。 数字:one half/ a half; one and half; a quarter/ one fourth; five sixths; zero point five(0.5); one point five two(1.52); a couple of; million; billion。 货币:a dollar/ a buck; five cents/ a nickel; a dime; a quarter/twenty-five cents; a pound; penny。有关计算的表达:plus/add/addition(加); minus/take off(减); ,multiply(乘); divide(除); double(翻倍); triple(增加倒三倍); two more(多两个); three less(少三个); half the price (半价); thirty percent off/ discount of 30%(打七折); at 15% discount(打八五折)。 5.事实推理题:对对话中出现的一些细节进行提问,或者要求考生通过所听到的细节进行推理。 a. 以事实为依据的问题要求考生回忆对话中的细节;尽量从上下文中推测不熟悉的单词的 含义;在听的过程中尽快浏览各项选择,以便预测一些问题;并对听到的信息进行、判断。 对事实的提问形式有: What does sb. do? What is sb. going to do? What/Which of the following is not mentioned in the dialogue? What does the speaker/listener seem most concerned about? What does the conversation say about...? Why does sb. do sth.? What is the purpose of ...? What is the cause of ...? b. 推理引申问题要求考生推测出某些细节的结果或对某些细节进行比较。 引申问题要求应试者推测出某些细节的结果或对某些细节进行比较。回答引申问题时应特别注意对话的最后部分。在听的过程中尽快浏览各选择项,以便做出某些预测;运用常识猜测某个细节可能有的结果。 常见的引申问题有: It can be inferred from the conversation that... The man/woman most probably... What will the man/woman probably do next? What can be concluded from the dialogue/conversation? What does the speaker mean? 6.观点态度题:问说话者对某事或者某话题的看法和观点。 对话中经常涉及到一方对另一方或某一事件、观点、言论、行为的态度和反应,或赞成或反对,或满意或失望,喜怒哀乐等各种情绪。此类题目的解题方法有: a. 语音语调。英语中,语调主要有升调、降调两种,另外还有升降调和降升调。不同的语调表达不同的含义。例如,陈述句用升调表示说话者抱有迟疑、犹豫的态度;用降调表示肯定。反意疑问句如果反意部分是降调,就表示肯定,希望得到赞同或支持;反之,则表示征求对方的意见或不耐烦。 b. 提示词和关键词。考生可以根据一些提示性的语言或一些相关的词语进行判断,如I think...; It seems to me that...; As far as I'm concerned, I could say...; It is/sounds true that...同时还要注意表示否定、转折和虚拟等含义的指示词。如,I'd be sacked if I accepted your offer.所表达的是拒绝。 c. 从字里行间判断。录音材料的内容、材料中不会直接说明态度,但在字里行间会有渗透,考生在听懂对话的基础上,依据语气,充分理解其言外之意和所反映出来的态度。 常见的就语气而提问的问题有: What is the man's/woman's attitude toward the conversation? How does the man/woman feel? The man's/woman's feeling toward the subject can be best described as...?
