整体解析:
今年的第一篇passage讲了一个有趣的故事。电脑公司信任销售主管Alex Gordon准备为各区域经理做演讲。他准备的相当充分,希望能通过这次演讲把自己对事业的热情积极心态传递给这些项目经理。可是,在他演讲完后,区域经理们的反应并不像他期待中的那样好。原来,他在演讲中的用词得罪了在场的、从底层的基本工作做起的女员工。从内容上来看,这篇文章的题材属于人物故事类。
第二篇文章讲的是投诉的技巧。作者首先举了一个在餐厅投诉的例子,强调大吼大叫式的粗鲁方式时行不通的,我们应该有礼貌地、清晰地讲述我们的不满。另一方面,作者认为通过信件投诉是不可取的,因为你看不到对方的反应。最后,作者指出投诉是不能过多陈述细节。这样容易混淆重点。
第三篇还是人物故事类的文章。全职妈妈Barbara曾是一名出色的建筑师,专为政府设计建筑。在生完孩子后,Barbara还是决定要重回工作岗位,体现自己在社会中的价值。而她丈夫则觉得照顾家庭更重要。在一个家庭中母亲的角色是谁也代替不了的。这个话题与2006年12月四级真题中15选10的文章话题不谋而合。相信做过真题的同学不会感到陌生。
以下是2010年6月19日英语四级听力 长对话原文:
长对话原文第一篇:
W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?
M: Oh, I have to work very long hours, about 11 hours a day.
W: What time do you start?
M: I work 9 to 3. Then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11. Six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours.
W: And do you have to work at the weekend?
M: Oh, yes, thats our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.
W: What are the things you have to do, and the things you dont have to do?
M: Eh, I dont have to do the washing-up, so thats good. I have to wear white and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.
W: Whats hard about the job?
M: Youre standing up all the time. When were busy, people get angry and sharp. But thats normal.
W: How did you learn the profession?
M: Well, I did a two year course at college. In the first year, we had to learn the basics. And then we had to take the exams.
W: Was it easy to find a job?
M: I wrote to about six hotels. And one of them gave me my first job. So I didnt have to wait too long.
W: And whats the secret of being good at your job?
M: Attention to detail and you have to love it. You have to show passion for it.
W: And what are your plans for the future?
M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What does the man say about his job?
20. What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?
21. Where did the man get his first job after graduation?
22. What does the man say is important to being good at his job?
19. B)It requires him to work long hours.
20. D) It demands physical endurance and patience.
21. D) In a hotel.
22. B) Paying attention to every detail.
解析:本篇长对话可以归入求职场景,对话形式为访谈。根据我们昂立四级课堂上为大家强调的首尾技巧,长对话开头结尾个设置了一题,即19题和22题,所以这两道题目对于考生来说,还是比较容易把握的。第20题的题干 What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?, 与听力原文 Whats hard about the job? 措辞基本一致,答案比容交易抓住,原文为 Youre standing up all the time. When were busy, people get angry and sharp. But thats normal., 意为你总是站着;繁忙的时候,客人会生气,变得尖刻,但是这很正常,对应的正确答案进行了抽象化概括,为It demands physical endurance and patience.,意思是这份工作需要体力上的耐力和耐心。
长对话原文第二篇:
W: Now youve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?
M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I dont quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. Im not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 72p to 90p, is the rise of 25%.
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: Im sorry, Ive no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were a lot better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. Thats strange, isnt it? And they seemed to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I dont understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M: I dont know. I think I probably give them two pounds a week.
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out of that they have to buy some small personal things. But I wouldnt expect them to save to buy their own socks for example.
W: Yes. By the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do.
Questions 23 to question 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard:
Q 23: What is the table of figures about?
Q 24: What do we learn from the conversation about British childrens pocket money?
Q 25: Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?
四级长对话第二篇:
23. A) The pocket money British children get.
24. C) It often rises higher than inflation.
25. B) Pay for small personal things.
解析:本篇长对话讨论英国儿童的零花钱,两人讨论的是一张数据表,里面出现了四级高频词inflation 。23题的答案就是speaker张嘴第一句话,Now youve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?,可以说是送给考生的一道题目。对话里提到英国儿童零花钱上升的速度要超过该国通货膨胀的速度。同样,最后一题的答案也是出现在对话结尾。
总体而言,两篇长对话的难度基本与往年持平,第一篇相比第二篇难度略低,诸如连读、失爆等语音现象较多,对考生的语音能力进行了较为严格的考察。希望考生在今后的备考中,加强跟读和模仿,改善自己的发音。
