注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
11.A)He has proved to be a better reader than the woman.
B)He has difficulty understanding the book.
C)He cannot get access to the assigned book.
D)He cannot finish his assignment before the deadline.
先从预览选项上看,A可以首先排除,后三项都在说有困难做某事/不能怎样,而A明显与后三不搭,再根据男女原则,the man也不可能是比这个女人更好的阅读者。听录音,关键词BUT, 明显是考察转折关系的变化,关注BUT 后的部分,是全题的提问关键。
12.A)She will drive the man to the supermarket.
B)The man should buy a car of his own.
C)The man neednt go shopping every week.
D)She can pick the man up at the grocery store.
A D基本说的是一个意思,都是这个女人开车载这个男人到某处;注意男人的Id be happy to 和女人的why dont 成鲜明对比,主要考察反问句式
13.A)Get more food and drinks.
B)Ask his friend to come over.
C)Tidy up the place.
D)Hold a party.
首先预览选项可以推断出这是个和朋友开聚会的场景题,但是听时较难,不易听出。主要听关键词和句,第一句男人的mess in here和后面女人的youll be doing most of today可判断出正确答案。考察听关键词和句然后判断
14.A)The talks can be held any day except this Friday.
B)He could change his schedule to meet John Smith.
C)The first-round talks should start as soon as possible.
D)The woman should contact John Smith first.
首先B选项可以排除,按照办事情不顺利原则B明显不是正确答案。schedule的发音虽然不熟悉,但是我相信在预览选项时考生们应该注意到了这一点,能够较易听出;本题考察了other than 和 one day is as good as the next的短语搭配结构,注意as good as 连读了。
15.A)He understands the womans feelings.
B)He has gone through a similar experience.
C)The woman should have gone on the field trip.
D)The teacher is just following the regulations.
应用了虚拟语气if I were you这同样也表达了男人的观点,考察虚拟语气的建议句型
16.A)She will meet the man halfway.
B)She will ask David to talk less.
C)She is sorry the man will not come.
D)She has to invite David to the party.
又是考察转折关系的题, 注意BUT后就是此题的关键,答案往往就在BUT后,而且注意到the woman重读了insist, 更是此题的重中之重。
17.A)Few students understand Prof. Johnsons lectures.
B)Few students meet Prof. Johnsons requirements.
C)Many students find Prof. Johnsons lectures boring.
D)Many students have dropped Prof. Johnsons class.
看到选项中的lecture Professorstudent 就能判断是学校场景中跟教授讲座有关的题目
18.A)Check their computer files.
B)Study a computer program.
C)Make some computations.
D)Assemble a computer.
依然是出现了转折性词BUT, 但是BUT 后较难听出答案,反而是第一个人的话能比较容易听出:put a computer together before ,这句和D选项基本吻合,吻合程度越高的选项成为正确选项的可能性就越大;再听Q是问这两个说话者在谈论什么,所以第一个人的话就可以判断出答案了
和往年四级听力短对话理解题难度基本持平,还是重点考察了转折、建议、反问、虚拟语气等句型。
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
这个人初入职场,以谈话的形式在讲述他的第一份工作。注意对话的首尾,各出了一题:开头3轮对话回合都在谈论the man 的工作时间长短问题①What sort of hours do you work?Well I have to work very long hours, about 11 hours a day;②What time do you start?I work 9 to 3~~~;③And do you have to work at the weekend? Yes, thats ~~~ 结尾出现了和选项相符的短语Attention to detail。20题A选项可以直接排除,这是个明显的体力工作,几乎没有脑力、智力方面的工作;B选项显然概括不全,因为他除了在厨房洗刷的工作外,还有别的陈述;C选项压根没有提及这种情况,所以D选项是概括出的正确答案
19.A)It allows him to make a lot of friends.
B)It requires him to work long hours.
C)It enables him to apply theory to practice.
D)It helps him understand people better.
20.A)It is intellectually challenging.
B)It requires him to do washing-up all the time.
C)It exposes him to oily smoke all day long.
D)It demands physical endurance and patience.
21.A)In a hospital.
B)At a coffee shop.
C)At a laundry.
D)In a hotel.
22.A)Getting along well with colleagues.
B)Paying attention to every detail.
C)Planning everything in advance.
D)Knowing the needs of customers.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
此对话两人对着数据表在谈论在英国的儿童的零用钱问题。依旧是首尾各出一题。23题B选项可以直接排除,因为大量的children pocket money关键词的频频出现,根本不会是在说每年的英国通货膨胀率。24题A 选项也可直接排除,通过预览可以猜测出it在BCD情况中不是up就是down;而Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?Perhaps parents in Britain are generous是24题的答案关键,generous也是四级高频词汇。通过预览可以猜测出25题pocket money 的用处,所以the woman在结尾处的两个提问逐步引出25题:if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?And would you expect them to do with it?,这时考生需要引起注意了,the man 接着就回答时说了to buy some personal things,25题C选项是干扰项
23.A)The pocket money British children get.
B)The annual inflation rate in Britain.
C)The things British children spend money on.
D)The rising cost of raising a child in Britain.
24.A)It enables children to live better.
B)It goes down during economic recession.
C)It often rises higher than inflation.
D)It has gone up 25% in the past decade.
25.A)Save up for their future education.
B)Pay for small personal things.
C)Buy their own shoes and socks.
D)Make donations when necessary.
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 choice marked A),B),C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
Passage One
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
篇章类题目还是需要关注文章开头3句和结尾3句,这两处是最易出题并且喜欢以原文出现答案。26题,开篇第一句就出示了答案:Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the companys district managers30题第二句:If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.,后面还有几句在继续说这个问题,如果这句没听出来,可根据后面的意思也能猜测出答案,如:Be polite. Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.33题开头第三句:before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government.。另外,篇章1将近结尾处出现Half of our managers are women. 既是28题答案。篇章2结尾处也出现了Be business-like and stick to the point. Dont spend a paragraph on how your Uncle Joe tried to fix the problem and couldnt作者亦指出投诉要抓住要点,不要长篇大论。
听到什么选什么原则除了上面的26、28、30、32、33之外,篇章2出现You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you can not see, so you cant tell how the person on the line is reacting,31题答案几乎原文出现;篇章3中段也同样出现了If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week, 所以34题正确答案Do some volunteer work。另外,35题原文中not think..can replace被is no replacement for替换。
整体篇章类没有特别较难的题目,难度自passage one 依次递减。三篇文章内容虽然有趣,但是做题游刃有余还是不容易,passage one 是三篇中较难的一篇,但是由于篇头篇尾规矩的以原文出现答案,降低了题目的难度。后两篇比较贴近生活,边听边看,确定哪个选项能够最大程度的吻合。Passage three 的话题与2006年12月份的真题 某篇章话题极为相似,再次印证了重复做历年真题的重要性。

单词部分,依旧考察了形容词、名词的拼写和动名词的使用,关键是由介词引起的动词-ing的变化,稍给题目增加些难度。36. curious, 38. independent, 39. unusual, 42. abstract 是前面系动词引起的填写形容词的情况;41. formal 是形容词来修饰后面的名词;较难部分是37和40题,分别是介词at 和by 引起后面动词变-ing 的情况,如果考生还很恍惚不知怎样填,可以看到37前and 并列的finding 和40 前and 并列的paying attention to, 就可判断出这两处是填写动名词的情况。43很显然是填写名词,但是考生是否能顺利听出mystery并且拼写正确?
句子部分,注意拼写appropriately和concepts,refining不易听出,是原型refine 的-ing形式。复合式听力的后三句子,是听力考试各题型中难度最高也是最能展示考生英语水平的题目,在这里还是希望同学们在掌握文都考试技巧的同时,课下多加练习,英语毕竟是能力的培养,我们考英语四级,也是为了证明自己的英语水平。
Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more curious,less afraid of what he doesnt know, better at finding and figuring things out, more confident, resourceful, persistent and independent than he will ever be again in his schooling-or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the mystery of language. He has discovered it-babies dont even know that language exists-and and he has found how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by changing it, refining it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the concepts that schools think only they can teach them , and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
