考前必看英语六级听力全面备考真经

　　不少经历过18日六级考试的考生至今仍对该套题听力的难度心有余悸。本期文章就将针对去年1六级考试考场的同学们考前充电。

　　语音

　　去年1六级考试听力部分在难度上较上一次考试明显加强。对于单词量、重点短语的考察也十分丰富。

　　一，短对话部分

　　短对话加强了对场景词汇和语义替换的要求。如直接考察地点失物招领处的第17题和重拳出击住房场景的第11题：

　　11.W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. Its located in a quiet building and its close to bus lines.

　　M: That maybe true. But look at it, its awful, the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.

　　Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

　　其中包含若干住房场景词汇，如油漆剥落、地毯破损、炉具老旧等。如果之前没有专门进行若干场景单词的积累，恐怕解题会有难度。

　　又如需要理解和语义替换的第14题：

　　M: This truck looks like what I need but Im worried about maintenance. For us itll have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures.

　　W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?

　　Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

　　正确答案是A) He needs a vehicle to be used in harsh weather.原文中，男士说担忧卡车的维护，提出truck需要operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures，意思是能够满足长时间在严寒中使用。 very cold temperatures和extreme conditions即对应harsh weather.关于严寒的极端天气这种说法，早在之前06年6月17日的考试当中就出现过，见当年第三篇短文的18题选项A) How animals survive harsh conditions in the wild.

　　短对话应对策略方面，首先，在这里有针对性的给大家总结一下属于听力基础部分的常见场景词汇

　　校园场景：

　　freshman大一学生，sophomore大二学生，junior student大三学生， senior student大四学生，高年级学生， undergraduate student本科生， graduate student / postgraduate student研究生， tutor / mentor / director / supervisor导师，take the course选课，drop the course 退课，register注册，sign up for the course选课，seminar讨论班， selective course /elective course/optional course选修课，requirement / required course/compulsory必修课，credit学分，introductory course初级课程，advanced course高级课程，skip the class翘课，paper/ essay/ thesis论文， librarian图书管理员，due到期， renew续借， back number过刊， latest issue最新一期， journal期刊， periodical 期刊

　　职场场景：

　　promotion提升、升职， immediate boss顶头上司，qualification 资历，certificate证书， quit/ resign 辞职，retire退休， lay off 失业， credential 文凭， apply for the job申请工作， applicant 申请者， resume简历（注意发音），position职位， occupation职位， job vacancy 职务空缺， job opening 职位空缺

　　租房与宾馆场景：

　　renter/ tenant 房客， landlord地主/房东， lease租约/租契， utilities水电气费用， let租， furniture家具， carpet地毯， stove炉子， oven炉子， suite套房（注意发音）， hotel receptionist 酒店前台接待员， room service 客房服务， reservation 预订，be booked up订满

　　修理工场景：

　　plumber 管工， mechanic 机师， electrician 电工， carpenter 木匠， telephone repairman 修理工（以上四个单词请见六级短对话第7题四个选项）, fix 修理， garage 车库， vacuum 吸尘器， refrigerator电冰箱， fuse保险丝

　　其次，要和大家着重强调一下语义理解题中but的重要性。如第13题

　　W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday?

　　M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches but that shouldnt take too long.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　答案The suitcase can be fixed in time.在男人的话中，首先说明需要找到一个可以匹配的把手，但接下来就用一个but说明这个修理过程不会持续很久，也就是我们的答案in time的来源。

　　又比如第18题

　　M: What are you going to do with the old house you are in heritage from your grandfather?

　　W: I once intended to sell it, but now, Im thinking of turning it into a guest house, because its still a solid structure.

　　Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house?

　　答案Convert it into a hotel.就是来自于女人答语的but后面。如果错误关注于but前方的内容once intended to sell it，就会认为应该卖掉，但听到but之后，才知道答案是turn it into a guest house,也就是说convert into a hotel的替换。

　　最后，还是要再次和大家谈谈短对话真题的重复性。

　　比如刚刚说过的第18题，其中的定位点but和答案点turn it into替换convert，都是来自于1999年6月份六级考试的听力真题第8题

　　A) He may convert it and use it as a restaurant.

　　B) He may pull it down and build a new restaurant.

　　C) He may rent it out for use as a restaurant.

　　D) He may sell it to the owner of a restaurant.

　　正确答案A，其中也是以convert成为考点。该题原文

　　M: What is Mr. Peterson going to do with his old house on London Road? Rent it or sell it?

　　W: I heard he is thinking of turning it into a restaurant, which isnt a bad idea, because its still a solid building.

　　Q: What will Mr. Peterson do with his old house?

　　同样考察了turn it into和convert的同义替换。

　　二，长对话部分

　　长对话整体出题较为规整，但也不排除推陈出新的题目，比如第二篇的的短文题目延续了近年来对于普及新知识的重视。关于短文的传统解题方法我在之前各期六级听力的相关解题技巧讲解的文章中已经多次提到，这里就不再赘述。针对普及新知识的类型文章，我这里将和大家分享一些除了逻辑词、视听基本一致等基本解题思路外的信息。

　　以该套题目第一篇短文为例

　　（文章最开始的首句群出现开篇六级考试复合式听写第36题

　　English is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe, English is acquired as the mother ________, in others its used as a second language.

　　答案：tongue

　　相信大部分同学只要看了这句话，就都可以猜出在空格里填入的单词和前面mother构成的短语意思应该是母语，于是填入tongue。实际上这个空格是无需听音即可填出的。

　　例题：

　　1999年6月六级考试复合式听写第S1题

　　President Clinton later today joins ________presidents Ford, Garter and Bush at the presidents summit for Americans future aimed at recruiting one million volunteer tutors

　　答案： former

　　同样的，无需听音，即可猜出S1空格应和presidents搭配意为前总统，于是填入former.

　　最后，祝各位考生在考试中取得满意的成绩！
