Section A
听力长对话1
点评:第一篇长对话是一期访谈节目,主题是对一位自主创业人士的一次访谈,难度一般,要拿满分应该不难。主持人问及男士是如何想到要自己创业的,自己的自行车行是否有固定营业时间,以及是否雇佣了一些员工。男士则顺着主持人的问话,谈及了自己的创业历程,店里的营业时间与方式等。考生在听的过程中,需要理解这些短语的意思,如have ones heart on it,意思是决心,一定要,stand in the way,意思是阻碍,挡道。一般四级考生,这些短语在平常的学习中应该是有所积累的,不是难题。
听力长对话2
点评:这篇长对话围绕该地区的主要经济活动钢铁和纸张加工产业展开。男士对该地区这两大产业的现状不是很熟悉,所以女士为其做解答,介绍了钢铁产业在这一地区所占的重要地位,以及阻碍这一地区发展的主要因素,如地处山区,内地的小城镇依然交通不便。接着,二人则转向了下一个话题,即该地区的劳动力和培训与教育水平。女士这里简单地进行了一个概括,认为整体情况不错并且在不断进步。
这篇长对话难度适中,考生可以先浏览一遍问题,推测出主题,然后带着问题去听,这样做起来就容易多了。这里有一个生单词,可能考生在听的时候会被这样一个单词难倒,Basque country,是指法国西南端,西班牙北部地区。不过这个表达不影响做题,考生即使没听懂,也不要在这里纠结,因为浏览过题目就知道,这个不是考察点,所以要继续集中精力往下听。这也是听力的一个技巧,带着问题去听,只抓主要信息以及与问题相关的信息,不重要的疑难点要及时忽略。
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。
Passage One
本篇短文主要讲述了作者和好朋友Joe之前的友谊。他们二人在9岁的时候就认识了,随着时间的变化,两个人的友谊也越来越牢固。作者在文章中反思,他之所以能和Joe有如此深厚的友谊是因为他们能够有较长的时间相处,能够充分了解彼此。而在现代社会,人们则很少有时间去了解他人。了解到问题所在,也让作者更有决心去了解和结识更多的朋友。
这篇文章基本上没有生僻的词汇,以叙述为主。但是其中有几个短语需要关注:day student:走读学生;boarding student:寄宿学生;curriculum:课程;mutual:相互的;nevertheless:然而; thanks to:多亏了.。理解了这些词,对听力的整体理解会有提升。
Passage Two
本篇文章是一本有趣的小故事。Louis很晚开车回家,发现自己小区和附近路边的停车位都满了,所以他只能开车到隔壁的一个街区去停车。但是因为时间太晚,Louis都没有仔细观察停车位入口旁的标识。第二天早上,Louis发现车子不见了。他以为车辆被盗所以报警。最后才发现,自己的车停到了别人私人车位上,被警察拖走了。Louis不得不开车到很远的地方取车,而且还交了罚单。
这篇文章也很简单,没有出现太难的生词。整个内容就是一篇简短的小故事,只要能抓住时间线索,整篇文章的结构就很清楚了。
Passage Three
本篇文章讲述了人类的创造力。大家都知道有创造力的存在,但是却不知道创造力确切的是什么。文章中提出问题,创造力是与生俱来的还是后天习得的?最后文章得出结论,创造力是每个人都有的。它不仅仅在艺术领域有卓越的贡献,其实在很多重要的科学发现中也扮演了重要角色。创造力可以帮助人们从一个全新的角度认知世界,认识自我。
这篇文章生词不多,但是所谈论的内容比较抽象。而且文章的第一句话,实际上是在提醒,这篇文章是接着前面的某个内容进行深入。pick up在这里表示重新开始,第一句话就是说,接着上次的内容继续讲。这一点是需要格外注意的。
Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket calculators and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job?
There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to handle crime, accidents, lost and found items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and other emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very rarely did any violent crimes actually occur.
In the last five years there have been no murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. Things get stolen when it is easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police? Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.
【解析】
这篇文章谈论的是校园盗窃。从校园相关话题的角度而言,复合式听写的内容非常贴近生活,是考生所熟悉的。具体听写内容,单词仍然以一句话的主干内容为主,即名词和动词;而句子听写的长度和停顿间隔仍与往年一致,即18词左右,且每句间隔1-2句。所以,复合式听写难度与往年持平。但是考生们应考和平时听写时,都需要特别注意细节,如名词复数的变化,emergency的复数emergencies; 难词的拼写calculator、theft。
2012年6月16日四级复合式听写之浅析
试题中的听力理解部分历来是很多学生的薄弱环节,复合式听写,更是让很多同学头痛,今年四级考试复合式听考查的是一篇关于stolen property on campus的话题。从文章内容来看,要完全听懂,不是一件容易的事。其中,含有一些复杂的句式结构,较之短对话和长对话,在难度上增加了许多。在做此部分时,很多同学面临这样一个问题:要么是听不懂,要么是听懂了写不出来,要么是写出来却写不准确。针对这种情况,针对这种情况,希望同学牢记这么一个原则:用最简单、最少的单词,写出最完整的含义。
另外,有的放矢的根据自己的能力进行取舍,不要纠结于个别单词或者句子。首先对文章得有一个大致的了解,把握篇章大意。认真看文字材料,重点在空格部分,力争听懂空格处是一个短语还是一个句子,用自己熟悉的符号来做标记,在重新听时注意认真核实。
2012年四级听力长对话和短文听力解析
本次所考长对话的难度基本与往年持平,依然是首尾出答案,如能集中注意力,做好听前选项浏览准备,不难拿到理想分数。
长对话一关注的焦点为银行抢劫案。该对话遵循了长对话出题的顺序原则及其首三尾三出答案原则,19和21题的答案分别出在了段首和段尾。而20题属于典型细节题,课堂中我们讲过在文章中出现的,反复读到的强调词一般为正确选项。做对本题应非难事。
长对话二属于典型的求职面试类考题,同样的首尾出题原则,很容易做对22和25题。
简单总结我们得出的结论就是长对话今年的考题形式依然遵循往年考风,关注首尾,试听一致。相对于短对话要简单些,虽然文章较之略长。
短文听力和长对话的做题方法基本一致-关注首尾。
我们来简单看下短文听力一,不难发现有很多细节我们都在课程中反复讲过。
26题的why,告诉我们要关注原因,而第一句话中出现的reason其实已经告诉了我们答案。I first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends.
原因的解题方法我们在短对话解析中已经提到过,它是四级听力考试中的一个常客,每年基本都会考到。
27题中出现了一个转折词,Nonetheless,暗示了我们要关注后方,果不其然,答案确在其后方。
28题咋听问题像推断题,其实他考察的就是对文章最后一句话的理解。作者通过和Joe的深厚友谊认识到朋友是需要用心发现和交流的。
最后简单提一下复合式听写。复合式听写考察的是同学们的基本功。所考词汇基本是初高中已学过的单词。今年的复合式听写文章应该难度不大,因其考察内容跟学校生活相关。
2012年上半年的四级考试虽已结束,大家依然要关注听力,毕竟它和我们以后的求职和工作生涯息息相关。记住:练好听力也等于给自己一个上升的机会。加油!

2012年6月四级听力短对话考试解析
2012年6月的四级考试刚刚结束,此次的四级听力考试短对话八道中,我们百分之九十的类型在课程中都讲过其做题方法。以下是我们讲解过的考题类型在本次考试中的体现。
12.
M: Im thinking about where to go for a bite tonight. Any suggestions, Barbara?
W: Well, how about the French restaurant near the KFC? Frankly, Ive had enough of our canteen food.
Q: What do we learn about the woman?
本题考察的典型建议类句型的用法,我们在动作题类型中讲过。 建议类句型的答案有两种:
1. 一般等于建议类句型的同意转述;
2. 如问目前的状态,答案等于与建议的相反的事实。
本题女士说何不去法餐厅呢,其实本意就是女士想去,答案应该很明显。
13,
W: Hey, if you cant enjoy the music at a sensible volume, why not use earphones? Im preparing for the speech contest.
M: Oh, sorry. I didnt realize Ive being bothering you all this time.
Q: What is the man probably doing?
13题依然考察的是建议类,与12题区别是问题形式不同而已。大家听到why not,一定想到我们在课程中讲过此句话等于you should do sth。 既然女士说你为什么不用耳机呢, 现实情况就是男士没用。由此可以看出建议类句型的两种答案形式均考到。
14.
M: Finally, Ive got the chance to put on my new suit tonight. I hope to make a good impression on your family.
W: Come on! Its only a family reunion. So jeans and T-shirts are just fine.
Q: What does the woman mean?
听到14题,大家应该记得,在我们总结听力做题方法的时候讲过原因题的做法。其最为经典的关键词就是because和so。答案一般等于because和so后方的句子的同意和反义转述。
此题说这仅仅是个家庭聚会,所以牛仔裤和体恤就可以了。牛仔裤和体恤就相当于不那么正式,也就是随便的意思。答案也就不难选出。
15.
M: Would you like to see those pants in brown and navy blue? These two colors are coming in this season.
W: Oh, actually grey is my favourite color, but I prefer something made from cotton, 100% cotton I mean.
Q: What is the woman looking for?
15题是典型的转折题考点,同样我们在四级听力考题类型分析中重点讲过but题型。一般答案出现在but的后方。本题最为简单。
16.
W: From here, the mountains look as if you could just reach out and touch them.
M: Thats why I chose this lodge. It has one of the best views in Switzerland.
16题中的thats why 我们在短文听力中专门讲过,此句型出现一般有两个考点:
1. thats why的前方
2. thats why的后方
本题的答案看似不那么明显,但是thats why的前方告诉大家此位置不错,后面男士就说这就是为什么选择的原因。 综合得出的结论就是男士之所以选择此处,完全是因为位置好。
Q: What is the mans chief consideration in choosing the lodge?
17.
M: What do I have to do to apply for a passport?
W: You need proof of citizenship, either an old passport or a birth certificate and three photographs. Then you must complete this form and pay a fee.
本题出现了很多情态动词,我们在短对话中讲过,情态动词是解题的关键。 答案一般等于情态动词后方的句子。 我们关注下此题情态动词后的词语特征不难理解,护照,身份证,照片,填表等等都是需要做的事情。我们很容易想到男士貌似是需要办理护照。由此,答案应该很容易得出。
Q: What is the man most probably going to do?
18.
M: Miss, can I interest you in a pork special with serving tonight? Its only 799, half the usual price and its very tasty.
W: Oh really? I will try it.
Q: What does the man say about the dish?
18题是典型的同意替换。Half price就相当于便宜。女士之所以选择完全是因为此。
通过今天的考题分析,大家应该明白一个道理,四级听力题型不论怎样变化,基本做题方法不会有大的改变。一定要重视基础。
