　　六級聽力選擇題目答題方法點撥
　　一、基本解題技巧
　　小對話解題技巧之一：視聽反向原則、同義替換原則。
　　視聽反向原則是指，在小對話的題目中，看似明顯被讀到的選項反而更容易是錯的。但須注意，當小對話原文本身較長或生僻詞較多時，該原則可能會出現特例，如03年6月第8題。
　　同義替換是指，若某一選項中的單詞或短語是聽力原文中單詞或短語的同義形式，則該選項容易為正確。
　　例題：
　　2010年6月六級考試第11題
　　A) The man failed to keep his promise.
　　B) The woman has a poor memory.
　　C) The man borrowed the book from the library.
　　D) The woman does not need the book any more.
　　原文：
　　M: Oh, I’m so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library.
　　W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won’t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK?
　　Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
　　解析：可以明顯看出，本題的答案為A.其中，另外三項的大部分單詞或短語都被讀到。
　　例題：
　　2010年6月六級考試第13題
　　A) The printing on her T-shirt has faded.
　　B) It is not in fashion to have a logo on a T-shirt.
　　C) She regrets having bought one of the T-shirts.
　　D) It is not a good idea to buy the T-shirt.
　　原文：
　　M: I think I’ll get one of those new T-shirts, you know, with the school’s logo on both the front and back.
　　W: You’ll regret it. They are expensive, and I’ve heard the printing fades easily when you wash them.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　解析：準確答案D。其中A和C中都有若干單詞被讀中，聽到的慎選。
　　例題：
　　2010年6月六級考試第18題
　　A) The speakers will dress formally for the concert.
　　B) The man will return home before going to the concert.
　　C) It is the first time the speakers are attending a concert.
　　D) The woman is going to buy a new dress for the concert.
　　原文：
　　M: Honey, I’ll be going straight to the theatre from work this evening. Could you bring my suit and tie along?
　　W: Sure, it’s the first performance of the State Symphony Orchestra in our city, so suit and tie is a must.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
　　解析：準確答案A。容易錯選C，聽到的慎選。正確答案A 中，dress formally和suit and tie同義替換。
　　小對話解題技巧之二：動作題的處理方式。
　　選項均以動詞原形或to do形式開頭的題目為動作題。放音時，注意抓情態動詞(如could, should, would, may, can, have to, must等)和建議/請求句型(如Why not do…, Will you do…)，其中包含的主要動作即為該題答案。
　　例題：
　　2010年6月六級考試第15題
　　A) Leave Daisy alone for the time being.
　　B) Go see Daisy immediately.
　　C) Apologize to Daisy again by phone.
　　D) Buy Daisy a new notebook.
　　原文：
　　M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to again?
　　W: Well, if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her.
　　Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
　　解析：準確答案A。這是一道動作題，原文中出現建議句型if I were you, I’d…所以答案即是…let her cool off a few days before I approach her的同義替換形式。此題另一難點在于A選項中短語for the time being意思是“目前暫時”。
　　長對話和短文聽力解題技巧：視聽基本一致原則、同義替換原則、特殊詞定位原則
　　視聽基本一致的含義是指，若聽到的原文和看到的選項基本一致，則選項容易為正確。這一點和小對話的原則恰恰相反，請考生一定注意。
　　同義替換原則，同小對話。
　　特殊詞定位原則是指，在原文中特殊詞（如序數詞1st，極端詞most、most important、only、all等，邏輯連接詞because、since、but、however，以及自問自答的回答部分或直接引語）后面很可能出現正確答案信息。
　　例題：
　　2010年6月六級考試第1道長對話：
　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
　　19. 答案D
　　A) He wants to sign a long-term contract.
　　B) He is good at both language and literature.
　　C) He prefers teaching to administrative work.
　　D) He is undecided as to which job to go for.
　　20. 答案C
　　A) They hate exams.
　　B) The all plan to study in Cambridge.
　　C) They are all adults.
　　D) They are going to work in companies.
　　21. 答案B
　　A) Difficult but rewarding.
　　B) Varied and interesting.
　　C) Time-consuming and tiring.
　　D) Demanding and frustrating.
　　原文：
　　Conversation 1
　　M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.
　　W: So you are not sure which to go for? (第19題答案，視聽基本一致與同義替換，not sure替換undecided)
　　M: That’s it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a year’s contract, and that’s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.
　　W: I see. So it’s much less secure. But you don’t need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.
　　M: That’s true.
　　W: What about the salaries?
　　M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I’ll be getting the equivalent of about ￡22,000 a year there, but only ￡20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I’d have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administrations, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.
　　W: Mmm…
　　M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. (第20題答案，特殊詞so以及all，結合同義替換的思想) The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children’s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.
　　W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting.(第21題答案，完全的視聽基本一致) And I’d imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.
　　M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I’d be stuck in the school all day.
　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard:
　　Q19. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
　　Q20. What do we learn about the students at the Polytechnic?
　　Q21. What does the woman think of the job at the Language school?
　　例題：

　　原文：
　　Conversation 2
　　Good evening and welcome to tonight's edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean, actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Murray is the author of a new biography of Dean.(第22題答案，場景題，抓代表詞“welcome to +節目名稱”等，Studio場景從長對話出現至今在該題型內已出現三次)
　　W: Good evening, Edward.
　　M: Hello Tina.
　　W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean's early life.
　　M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn't there long though because his mother passed away just four years later(第23題答案，注意邏輯關系詞though以及because). Jimmy's father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.
　　W: So how did he get into acting?
　　M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting(第24題答案，視聽基本一致). In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting.
　　W: Then when did his movie career really start?
　　M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one, Rebel Without a Cause, that was about teenagers who felt like they didn't fit into society.
　　W: So how many more movies did he make?
　　M: Just one more, then he died in that car crash in California in 1955.
　　W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies! So what made him the legend he still is today?(該句及上下文各一句構成第25題答案，需要運用視聽基本一致并結合一些概括)
　　M: Well I guess his looks, his acting ability, his short life, and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people saw him as a symbol of American youths.
　　Q22 What is the woman doing?
　　Q23 Why did James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young?
　　Q24 What does the man say James Dean did at college in California?
　　Q25 What do we know about James Dean from the conversation?

　　Passage 2
　　Juan Louis, a junior geology major, decided to give an informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience and analysis he learned that only 2 or 3 of his classmates knew much of anything about geology(第30題答案，視聽基本一致，定位點為only，anything). Juan realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary level and with a minimum of scientific language. As he prepared the speech, Juan kept asking himself, “How can I make this clear and meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles?” Since he was speaking in the Midwest, he decided to begin by noting that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811.(第31題答案，視聽基本一致，定位點since及案例) If such an earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would flatten most of the cities in the Mississippi valley. That, he figured, should get his classmates’ attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Juan dealt only with the basic mechanics of the earthquakes, carefully avoid technical terms. He also prepared visual aids, diagramming photo line, so his classmates wouldn’t get confused. To be absolutely safe, Juan asked his roommate, who was not a geology major, to listen to the speech. “Stop me,” he said, “any time I say something you don’t understand.” Juan’s roommate stopped him four times.(第32題答案，視聽基本一致，定位點為舉例直接引語) And at each spot, Juan worked out a way to make his point more clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and perfectly understandable to his audience.
　　Questions 30 – 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　Q30 What did Juan Louis learn from the analysis of his audience?
　　Q31 How did Juan Louis start his speech?
　　二、審題及利用選項推知答案
　　1. 審題的作用：
　　小對話——看選項，判斷題目類型，推知解題方法。
　　長對話及短文——看選項，推斷問題，方便運用視聽基本一致原則且幫助定位。預測長對話或短文的主題。
　　2． 如何在完全聽不懂的情況下通過選項推知答案：
　　一般的，當兩個選項意思相近或談論的話題相同時，其中一個可能是正確答案；當兩個選項通過同義轉換使得實際觀點相同時，兩個選項均不是答案；當兩個選項話題相同且意思相反時，其中一個可能是正確答案。
　　例題：
　　2009年6月六級考試第14題
　　14. .A. She can help the man take care of the plants.
　　B. Most plants grow better in direct sunlight.
　　C. The plants need to be watered frequently.
　　D. The plants should be placed in a shady spot.
　　答案：D
　　原文：
　　14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldn’t know by looking at them that I water them every week.
　　W: Maybe they don’t like direct sunlight. I had the same problem with some of my plants. And a little shade helps them immensely.
　　Q: What does the woman imply?
　　解析：只看選項，CD選項相近且主語都是The plants，話題相同；BD選項話題相同且意思相反，所以選D 。
　　三、新聞聽力相關知識
　　2010年6月第一篇短文考察了新聞篇章聽力。接下來簡要介紹新聞聽力相關知識。
　　決定新聞聽力解題能力的主要是以下三個方面：
　　一、底詞積累
　　所謂“底詞”，是指在新聞英語中作為基礎詞的相關詞匯，包括常見熟詞的新聞范疇生僻詞義以及專門的新聞用詞。不僅要知道其含義，更要對其發音十分熟悉。
　　比如，新聞聽力最難的類型莫過于財政新聞，因為很多考生對于數字并不敏感，且對于財政方面的詞匯積累更是有限，比如“multilateral currency realignment”(跨國貨幣調整)，不是學金融方面專業的同學恐怕會覺得無從下手。
　　類似這樣的詞匯很多在于日常的積累，這里舉幾個例子供大家參考：
　　畢業生就業率 graduate employment rate
　　占有一個較大比例 form/constitute a large proportion
　　貧富分化 polarization between the rich and the poor
　　社會保障體系 social security system
　　危險被大大遏制了 the risk is largely contained
　　由于新聞詞匯涵蓋面很廣，大家在業余時間應該去留意一下一些國家名、地名、政要名字等；大家同樣也應多注意看一下CCTV-9的BizChina等財經節目以及各英語電視臺的政治新聞，有助于提高財經和政治新聞方面的專業詞匯量。
　　二、是否熟悉常見新聞結構
　　相對于一般短文，新聞有一些相對固定的比較常見的結構，如倒金字塔結構（最核心最重要的信息在最前面，之后一點點打開細節敘述）。最常考的新聞出題思路就是一個中心加若干細節的設題。把握住常見新聞結構的解題效率遠高于盲目跟聽。
　　三、是否能夠根據自己的既有知識框架進行有效聯想
　　幾乎沒有考生可以一次性聽清楚新聞中的每一個單詞，但這往往并不是決定這套新聞題目做的準確率高低的關鍵。新聞中具有大量的信息，但并不是所有信息都是有用信息。在進行有效的題目預設后，無關信息在聽的過程中應該大膽放棄。遇到較難的專業詞匯時，也不要慌張，通過聯系上下文及開篇導語句進行詞義句義猜測，千萬不要顧此失彼，糾結在一個詞義上而影響其他內容的聽記。有效聯想的練習應該落實在平時，要多注意積累，熟悉近期的國際時事，尤其政治、經濟、重大科技發明等方面的事件。
　　新聞聽力解題方案提要：
　　1，聽前預審題。
　　主要通過選項猜測這篇新聞的主要談論內容是什么。比如通過jump, decline等詞結合數字猜知這是財經新聞，通過casualty, deaths等詞猜知該新聞很可能會談到一個事故和傷亡人數，通過政要的名字猜知可能會談及政治時事等。審題同樣可以結合高頻詞匯、是否主語相同需看謂語、是否出現極端詞、時態提示點等幾個通用審題要點。
　　2，聽時抓首句。
　　最常見的倒金字塔新聞格式決定了最常考的新聞出題思路就是一個中心加若干細節的設題。所以，首句群作為全文的開始，通常是重要信息點的羅列，必須要認真聽。
　　3，不忘記筆記。
　　除了抓住首句群，新聞聽力同樣要求大家能夠時時做筆記，建議結合新聞結構，用分類流程圖的方式快速記錄新聞的要點。注意要按邏輯順序記錄，不要只記下無關堆砌的一堆詞。此外，考生平時應該注意培養速記的習慣。
　　4，聯想加回憶。
　　很多考生如果平時做到關心時事，那么真的在考試中遇到熟悉事情的新聞篇章也不足為奇。新聞本身就是對時事的記錄，所以有的同學認為新聞聽力有道理可循有范圍可押題，這在一定程度上是講得通的。建議大家可以多登錄比如yahoo英語新聞和CRI、CCTV-9等英語新聞媒體，做好日常積累，在考試的時候進行有效的聯想和回憶，拿高分則勝算在手。
