　　士的谈话。就原因提问的测试题，其选择项特点较为明显，通常都由because 引

　　导。但也不不少含蓄型的题目。这类测试题的选择项没有because ，不过，只要

　　值得提醒的是，听力测试中还有一种特殊现象。对话中的另一方并不直接说出自己的看法，而是用also， too， neither， either ，

　　so， the same 来表明自己的态度。在这种情况下，就必须听清第一个人的讲话

　　并准确理解其态度，只有这样才能作出正确选择。

　　肯定与否定题

　　听力测试题有很多对话常通过某种否定形式来表示肯定含义，或是利用肯定

　　形式表示否定意义。其目的是考查学生的快速反应能力和基础知识掌握的程度。

　　1 、常见的以否定形式表示肯定意义的结构有：

　　cannot wait+不定式或can hardly wait+不定式;

　　cannot与much

　　连用;cannot help doing ;cannot

　　but do;cannot help but do;have no choice/

　　alternative but to do ;nothing but

　　;另外，还可以通过各种比较结构来表示肯定含义，最常用的有：nothing

　　less than ;more A than B ;less A than B

　　;not so much A as B;A not soas B，

　　表达的正好是原结构中形容词或副词的反义。

　　2 、常见的以肯定表示否定的意义的有：

　　anything but;used to ;too toprefertowould ratherthan

　　「例一」

　　A ) She is going to give up biology.

　　B ) She spends half of her time on biology.

　　计划与行动题

　　行动类题是四级听力测试中最常见的题型之一。题量较大。

　　1 、某人计划或打算做什么。选择项常以动词原形或动词不定式形式出现;

　　也有以句子形式出现的选择项，这类选择项的谓语部分常出现will，be going或

　　be to.解题时，应首先根据选择项确定提问的对象，即男士还是女士计划或准备

　　去做某事，这样听音时就可以集中注意力去听相关部分，尤其是谓语动词。

　　「例题」

　　A ) Look for a more expensive hotel.

　　B ) Go to another hotel by bus.

　　C ) Try to find a quiet place.

　　D ) Take a walk around the city.

　　但其谓语动词都是进行时的形式。这类测试题的提问方式比较单一，一般都是What

　　s the man/ woman doing now?或What are they doing now ?这种类型的测

　　试往往比较简单，只要集中注意力听清对话中的谓语动词基本都能作出正确的判

　　断。

　　「例题」

　　A ) Looking for a young lady.

　　B ) Looking for her wrist watch.

　　C ) Looking for a young gentleman.

　　3 、某人提出去做什么。这类测试中，对话中的一方针对另一方提出的要求

　　或建议，主动提供帮助。试题的选择项通常为动词原形或动词不定式。解题时，

　　「例题」

　　A ) Go out to work. B) Listen carefully to John.

　　C ) Be calm and patient. D ) Do the easiest thing.

　　W ： Im really angry at John. He never listens to me.

　　M ： Take it easy ， Alan. Things will work out.

　　Q ： What does the man advise Alan to do?

　　推理判断题

　　推理判断是英语四级听力测试中最常见的题型之一，难度较大。因为说话人

　　表达思想的方法比较含蓄，不能为选择书面答案提供直接的信息，这就要求考生

　　利用语音语调和逻辑推理的思维过程来判断对话的内在含义，领会说话人的真实

　　意图。听力理解不但要听懂具体的话语，而且要能听懂隐含的意义，能判断讲话

　　人的意图等。

　　这类题型在近几年的考试中题量大，而且有增加的趋势。

　　「例一」

　　A ) Jane is looking for a summer job. B) Jane is packing for the

　　summer vacation.

　　「例四」
