我們先利用讀direction時間，快速瀏覽各個題目，找出高頻詞，把高頻詞進行合理的聯想和組合，預測文章要講的主題。下面以2014年6月聽力中有關老齡人與其家人的關系這篇文章為例進行講解。我們先來看一下選項。

　　A)One fifth of them were on bad terms with their sisters and brothers.

　　B)About one eighth of them admitted to lingering bitter feelings.

　　C)More than half of them were involved in inheritance disputes.

　　D)Most of them had broken with their sisters and brothers.

　　高頻詞： 關系詞如on bad terms和broken; sisters and brothers, inheritance dispute

　　預測：家庭生活

　　2.

　　A)Less concern with money matters.

　　B)More experience in worldly affairs.

　　C)Advance in age.

　　D)Freedom from work.

　　關鍵詞：money, experience，worldly，age, work

　　預測：生活工作

　　3.

　　A)They have little time left to renew contact with their brothers and sisters.

　　B)They tend to forget past unhappy memories and focus on their present needs .

　　C)They are more tolerant of one another.

　　D)They find close relatives more reliable.

　　關鍵詞：contact, brothers and sisters, unhappy memories, need, tolerant, relatives

　　預測：家庭生活

　　通過對各個選項進行分析推理，合并同類項，我們大致能知道文章將要談論的內容。這樣我們在聽的時候就可以做到心中有數，帶著重點去聽，因而能更輕松的去應對了。

　　二、巧做筆記。

　　當聽到關鍵信息的時候，如專有名詞、時間、數字、觀點、表邏輯關系的連詞時，我們要快速而簡潔地做下筆記以供后續參考。做筆記時，寫下與關鍵詞相關的語義詞。例如：

　　In a study of older people with sisters and brothers, psychologist Debra Gold of the Duke Center for the study of aging and human development found that about 20% said they were hostile or indifferent to ward their sisters and brothers.

　　在這句話中出現了關鍵詞有兩處：Debra Gold ，20%。聽到人時要記下他的觀點，聽到數字時，要記下與它相關的其他信息。這句話的筆記為： D，20%， hostile。如果hostile不會寫，可以根據句子意思簡寫為 D，20%， ↓。向下的箭頭表示消極的事物。同理，向上的箭頭表示積極的事物。20% said they were hostile or indifferent to ward their sisters and brothers.與兄弟姐妹關系不好屬于消極的事物，故用向下的箭頭。這樣，通過一些簡單的字母、數字、符號我們就可以把文章內　　容記錄下來了，這些簡單記錄對我們判斷選項是否正確時很有幫助。另外，還需要注意的一點是聽到文中出現選項中的詞匯或與其意義相近的詞匯時，要在選項中詞匯旁邊根據所聽到的內容簡要做下筆記。如由于選項中有They tend to forget past unhappy memories and focus on their present needs 這樣的表述，當我們聽到

　　A man who had recently reconciled with his brother told Gold there’s something that lets older people to put aside bad deeds of the past and focus a little on what we need now, especially when it’s sisters and brothers.這句話時，就需要在past旁邊寫下put aside,或是標記向上的箭頭。

　　預測文章主題并巧記筆記是六級短文聽力取得高分的必備技巧，大家在平時進行考前練習時，需要注意運用這些技巧進行英語六級聽力解題。最后預祝大家英語六級考試順利通關!
