长对话的篇幅较长,想要听过之后就能将主要的内容都清楚地记在脑子里,几乎是不可能的。考生只有听一遍的机会,只能边听、边记、边答。
边听边记是听力中一项非常重要的技能,但是做笔记并不是要把听到的每一个单词都记下来,笔记无非是帮助记忆的手段,只要能把重要的信息用可识别的符号记录下来,就算达到了目的。因此为了提高听与记的效率,应注意把握一定的技巧和原则。
一、抓住首尾句
主题句常常是在对话的开头,它对整个对话的内容起一个概括和提示的作用,实际上是说话人所谈论的中心话题。长对话中的第一题很可能是针对对话的开头提问,考查考生对整个对话的主题或所谈话题的把握。
结尾处往往涉及到建议、决定或某种行为等,它对整个对话起到一个总结的作用。长对话的最后一题经常是针对对话的结尾设题,故留意其中的关键动词就成了解题的关键。
【例1】
【预览选项】
[A] To go sightseeing.
[B] To have meetings.
[C] To promote a new champagne.
[D] To join in a training program.
【边听边记】
M: Hi, Ann, welcome back. Hows your trip to the states?
W: Very busy, [19]I had a lot of meetings.
19. Why did the woman go to New York?
【答案解析】
选[B]。细节题。对话一开始,男士就问女士去美国的旅行怎么样,女士回答说很忙,她had a lot of meetings,由此可知女士去纽约是去参加会议。
二、留意对话中的一问一答
长对话中,对话双方往往出现多个一问一答,而这一恰恰是长对话的一个出题重点,对话后面问题往往就是对话原文中问题的照搬或是同义转述,因此其答案就是对话中紧接问题之后的答语,而且一般不会有同音或近音词的干扰,因此对于这类题目答案的基本原则就是听到什么选什么。
【例2】
【预览选项】
[A] Data collection.
[B] Training consultancy.
[C] Corporate management.
[D] Information processing.
【边听边记】
W: Whats your line of business, Mr. Johnson?
M: We are a training consultancy.
25. What is the mans line of business?
【答案解析】
选[B]。细节题。女士的提问即为本题的提问,答案就在男士接下来的回答中。女士问男士Whats your line of business,男士回答说We are a training consultancy,由此可知答案为[B]。
三、留意重复率较高的词或短语
对话的主要内容理所当然会得到说话人的强调,而一个非常重要,也是非常明显的强调方式就是重复,而且重复的词语往往能够揭示对话的主题。因此对那些对话双方多次提到的词语或内容应进行重点记忆。
【例3】
【预览选项】
[A]The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.
[B]The fall of Karnaks capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.
[C]The epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.
[D]The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak. 【边听边记】
W: We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country of Karnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan ...
M: , rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18-month conflict here in this country.
M:, rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in,
M: this war-torn country , but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
22.What is the news coverage mainly about?
【答案解析】
选[A]。主旨题。主旨题的答案往往在开头或结尾,而本题的答案即出自开头的第一句。选项中的latest对应该句中的live up-to-date,armed rebellion对应unrest。另外,对话的主题往往会得到多次重复,因此根据后面多次出现的rebel forces, conflict, war等与叛乱相关的词语,也可判断本题答案为[A]。
四、留意选项中的要点内容
正确选项往往与原文相似,或是原文的同义表达,因此应注意提取选项中的关键点,在听音时留意其是否在文中出现并加以记录。
【例4】
【预览选项】
[A] Inadequate medical care.
[B] Continuing social unrest.
[C] Lack of food, water and shelter.
[D] Rapid spreading of the epidemic
【边听边记】
W: what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country.
25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?
【答案解析】
选[C]。细节题。四个选项中只有[C]项内容在对话中出现,其他三项均未涉及到,故只要抓住对话中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分内容,即可判断答案为[C]。starvation意为饥饿。
五、留意数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等相关信息
遇到数字、人名、地名、时间、年代时要对相关信息做简要记录,尤其是选项中出现类似的概念时,在听音时更应重点留意。
【例5】
【预览选项】
[A] Late in the morning.
[B] Early in the afternoon.
[C] Sometime before dawn.
[D] Shortly after sunrise. 【边听边记】
M: Rebel forces are closing in, and its feared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?
【答案解析】
选[C]。细节题。根据原文中its feared that they will before daybreak.可知,当时报道的时间应该是在before daybreak。dawn相当于daybreak。
六、注意使用缩略语
记笔记一定要迅速,而要想在有限的时间内尽可能比较全面的记录重点信息,使用一定的缩略语和熟悉的符号是十分必要的,主要有以下几种方法:
1.利用数学符号。
如equal写成= 表示unequal代表increase/up; 表示result from/because/since/for/as;代表lead to/result in/has become/turn into;表示decrease/drop/dip/fall;代表about/almost; 表示more than; 表示 less than; +代表include/cover;-则是exclude等。
2.利用数字和其他固定符号。
能用数字或其他固定符号代表的词全部用阿拉伯数字或符号,这样既能节约时间,又能避免拼写错误,如:twenty写成 20; nineteen eighty four记作1984; $=dollar; £=pound; 11 in the morning=11 am; 11 in the evening=11 pm等。
3.创造自己的速写符号。
在平时的训练中也可以使用和创造一些符合自己习惯的缩略语和符号,如u可代表understand; m可代表mean; m=minute; s=second; h=hour; imp.=important/importance; nec.=necessary等。
