　　缩小了内容范围，考生听音时更具针对性和准确性，心理放松，更为自信，使自己在考试中处于主动地位。

　　听第一遍录音应从大处着眼，小处着手，听为主，记为辅，听写结合，双管齐下

　　听第一遍录音时应尽量放松，抓主要信息，将注意力集中在空格部分，尤其注意听清或写下第一个词和最后一个词。否则，就可能糊里糊涂地什么也没听清。要特别提醒：听第一遍时不要手忙脚乱、边听边记，或为了某一个词而造成意识上的暂时停顿，破坏整句或整段的理解。

　　第一遍是全文朗读，要求考生注意听懂全文内容。由于听音前考生已浏览了卷面文字，对听力材料有了大致的了解，因此听读第一遍时，考生可以适当地填写些单词和做些笔记，听为主，记为辅。第一遍记下关键词有助于第二遍听写时启发记忆，提示要点，同时也减轻了第二遍笔记的任务，使笔记更加充实、完整，依次与出的内容要点才会更加全面、准确。听和记两种不同的语言技能在复合式听写中有着紧密的联系，相互促进。

　　听第二遍录音时，留神停顿信号，注意意群和关键词语。

　　第二遍在听懂的基础上，迅速记下所听的内容。这一遍主要是抢速度，用简写等方式或用图形、符号记录下内容就行。一般考生听完两遍基本可听懂句意;但只凭记忆写要点，往往容易有疏漏和错误。足够信息量的笔记是写好要点的重要条件;但如何在有限的时间内记录下更多的内容呢?这里介绍几种方法。

　　首先，可使用缩略语。可用esp.代especially，sth代something， apprec代appreciation等。没有缩略语的词汇，如字母较少的单词，可完整写出该词，如gift, take，字母较多的单词(只写该词前几个字母;这里的基本要求是快速，省时，并能表达含义。缩略语不一定要求规范，甚至可用些符号，所记内容不一定要求完整，只要能起到提示的作用，自己能看懂就行了。

　　其次，由于复合式听写第二部分朗读时没有停顿，即使使用缩略语也难记下全文，因此考生应有选择地记笔记。英语中实词具有表意功能，而虚词多具语法功能，所以记词应以实词为主。

　　另外，因为复合式听写第二部分只要求写出内容要点，这样考生应重点记下句中的中心词。短语a thank-you gift，greatly appreciated和quite acceptable中的定、状语便可略去不记。

　　通过这几种方法，考生大大压缩了所记的词语，赢得了时间，精练了内容，增大了笔记的信息量，提高记笔记的效率，为写好内容要点创造了条件。
