大学英语四级听力技巧规律及常见词汇总结 四级听力的三个基本思路： 1. 学习——基于学生的角度，一定是抱怨学习 2. 生活——poor,很穷。 Student ID 学生证用于discount 打折，bargain 讨价还价 3. 学习vs 生活——忙，忙于学习 (就是说，解题从这三个思路出发，如果听不清题目说什么，就用这三个思路 往上套) Part I对话题 一.But 题型 形式：A:…… B:……，but ……. 重点听第二个说话人B说话，but 后面所说的话为重点，出题点往往在but 后面。四级听力题中，But 后面的为重点的占95%,之前的为重点的占5%。 e.g. (这题是反例，考的居然是but之前的内容，不过这种情况很少出现的) A: I suppose you’ve bought some gifts for your family. B: Well, I’ve bought a shirt for my father and two books for my sister. But I’ve not decided what to buy for my mother. Probably some jewels. Question: Who did the man buy the book for? Answer: His sister. 二. 场景题 1. 每一类场景，常考出题思路——用于解题 2. 线索词 场景题选项特点： (1) 介词结构in/at somewhere (2) To do开头的(问的是purpose目的) (3) Doing……/ They’re doing……/They’re …ing. (4) A and B(人之间的关系relationship) e.g. Students and teacher. 场景题提问方式： (1) what (过去，现在，将来) (2) Where is the conversation taking place? / Where does the conversation take place? (3) When is the conversation taking place? (4) Who——>where (location) 问人是谁，可以从他所在的地方来判断。

英语四级听力解题技巧之“一二三四” 一个中心：A部分以大学校园生活为中心 四级听力的A部分试题中，有很多都直接来自托福（TOEFL）听力A部分，还有部分是托福听力试题改编的。托福考试的目的就是检测非英语国家学生是否到美国接受高等教育的语言能力，其中听力的测试范围主要是大学校园生活（campus life）。通过历年试题的研究可以看出，四级听力A部分大多数试题涉及到大学校园生活。谈话的话题大多涉及大学生活中的各个场景，诸如吃饭、学习、借书、做作业、考试、开车、生病、找工作等等。每一类场景都有特定的词汇和固定谈话思路，我们可以通过选项的一些词汇，推测谈话的话题。带着托福情结的部分四、六级听力试题，答案是很有规律的。 在四级听力中，常见的场景有：（1）作业场景；作业包括assignment，paper，essay，presentation，experiment等形式，作业一般很多，很难。（2）课程及考试场景；课程（course）一般很难，very challenging，好让有志于赴美读书的各国青年才俊们三思而后行。（3）授课场景；教授的课（含lecture，presentation等）讲的极为枯燥，很难听懂但是学生却对教授评价甚高；（4）考试场景；考试一般很难，女生比男生用功，考的好，还很爱帮助男生上进。（5）放假场景；大家思乡心切，急于回家。（7）打工找工作场景：工作难找，面试要做充分准备。（8）事故场景：学生一般命大，遇到交通事故（甚至飞机坠毁），往往车（包括自行车）毁而人无大碍，受点轻伤或者毫发未伤。（9）看show场景；一般人多票难买。（10）噪音场景；一般是嫌原来的住处too noisy，不利于安心学习。（11）找人一般找不到。（12）教授、医生、学生一般都很忙。（13）飞机、火车一般都晚点。（14）遇事不要着急，要耐心，要等待。
英语四级听力技巧总结 英语四级听力技巧总结是怎样的，以下是小编精心整理的相关内容，希望对大家有所帮助! 英语四级听力技巧总结入门阶段，是对以前很少进行听力训练，甚至没有听过英语的朋友而言。这个阶段，是起步阶段，也是耗时最长的阶段，就我的经历而言，在这一部分，应该采取如下的训练方法: 1. 首先要纠正自己的英语发音，自己在口语上还算能过关，如果自己的发音都不行，那怎么可能听懂。 2. 选择难度较小，语速较慢的听力材料来训练。建议听的材料不要太长，以一段几百字为宜，内容最好是生活和文化方面，最好先不要听科技、伦理方面的文章，即使你能看懂，但从初学者的角度考虑，你听起来一定费力 3. 听的时间长度：以每天45分钟左右为宜，时间不能太短，这样就收不到训练的效果，但也不能强迫自己听的太多，毕竟这一阶段还有很多听不懂的地方，可以说有时候自己听得象在云里雾里，这样的状态持续的时间太长，对自信心是一个严重的打击，会严重地影响听的兴趣。 4. 听的频率，一天一次即可，选择一个固定的时间听，最好是自己精力比较旺盛的时间段。 5. 听的过程中的方法选择：唯有聚精会神，没有私心杂念才行，这只有通过不断地训练才能达到。要做到避免外
界因素的干扰。 6. 经典听力材料：VOA 特别英语。主要是新闻、文化方面的内容，语速90词每分钟，最适合有一定词汇量的听力初学者进行听力锻炼。我听的时候这个节目的时间段是晚上9点半到10点，我每晚的这个时间都给了SPECIAL ENGLISH，持续了3个月。建议采取的听力方法：做听力笔记，手中有笔和纸，及时地记下一些不熟知的词汇，因为特别英语的常用词只有1600左右，把这些常用词都弄懂，完全听懂它只是一个时间问题。 备注：这一阶段最重要，一定需要耐心和毅力，如果读写基础还行的话，应该能在2、3个月之内完成这个过程，进入攻坚阶段。 掌握了一定的备考方法之后，也要具备一定的答题技巧，下面小编就教大家几招。 第一招：相关保留原则 当选项中有两项表达意思相近时，那么正确答案必在这两项之中!这时只需稍微听一听对话，即可知答案，如果出现了双重相关，便可直接确认正确选项，只需听完对话加之认证一下即可! 典型例题： 4. A) Visiting the Browning. B) Writing a postcard.

学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了”。 为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。 一、多“说”。 自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。 或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。 如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。 二、多“听” 寻找一切可以听英语的机会。别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。 三、多“读”。 “读”可以分为两种。一种是“默读”。每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。每道题的得分都与你的理解程度有很大关系，所以经过高中三年阅读的训练后，你必定会在高考中胜券在握。另一种是“朗读”这是学语言必不可少的一种学习途径。 四、多“写” 有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力，比如学“wish”一词时，可写一小段如下： The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different .I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.

M: Really? Q: What does the woman mean? 选项：A) She purchased a car recently. B) She knew the car was in the lot.
试卷A 第一节 1.Text One: M: What kind of food do you like W: I like healthy food.

But there are still a few things I need to do, like buying my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my rented apartment while I’m away. M: You are not going to give it up, are you W: Certainly not. I’ll never find another apartment around here. But I don’t like the idea of paying three months’ rent on an empty apartment, either. M: Perhaps you could let it to someone else. W: Yes, but to whom M：Let me see. Oh, I know just the person. An old friend of mine,Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to Augest. W: That’s exactly when I’ll be away. It sounds ideal. M: Tell you what, I’ll be calling Jim late this week anyway, and I’ll mention it to him then. W: Well, thanks,Bill. Let me know what happens. 7.Text Seven M: Hi, What can I do for you W: I haven’t received my grade report bfrom last semester, and my friends all say they got theirs already.

M: HmmDid you have any problem last time you got your grades W: Well, actually, I’m a first-year student. This is the first set
书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟 2018 英语专业四级听力复习策略 你知道英语专业四级听力如何复习吗?你对英语专业四级听力复习方法了解吗?下面是yjbys 小编为大家带来的英语专业四级听力复习策略，欢迎阅读。 1、抓好基本功 从听力的测试模式来看，其实考查的除了考生平常的积累之外，还有考生短期的记忆能力、重要信息筛选能力，以及抓关键点的能力，除此之外，还需要考生具备一定的推理判断能力、英语思维能力等等。这些综合的素质，都要求了考生扎实的基本功，在能够准确发音、译音的同时还应该能够分辨出强读以及连读等能力。这一点，也就要求考生在平时要多听、多读，只听不读或者只读不听的考生往往都是比较具有局限性的，这会影响到在听力测试的时候的判断力。当然，要想能够听懂，还必须有强大的词汇量。如果在进行听力测试的过程中，遇到了生词，考生应该冷静下来，通过运用上下文、语境及考生的常识来推测出这个生词的含义。另外的一个重点就是语法，考生最起码要熟悉基本的语法，比如说时态、语态、虚拟语气及比较级等等，这些都是影响听力判断能力的重点语法。平日训练的时候，要多看、多听、多背，这样才能增强语感，也能够有效地提高答题时的反应速度。 2、有目的地听 听力与语法、阅读不同，可以读完再回读，听力的内容是暂时、一次性的，因此学会抓要点、关键词，以意群为单位理解全文，就变的相当重要。在四级考试的听力部分中，问题都已印在考卷上，考生先看了问题，心中有数，就知道有针对性的有选择地听原文，听的时候，抓相关信息，滤除不相关的内容，从而减轻听的负担，以提高听的有效性，同时，通过阅读干扰项，多些背景提示，再分析四个选择项的异

大学英语四级考试,是每个大学生都要过的一项英语水平考试。 那么如何顺利复习考过英语四级,有哪些英语四级考试技巧和经验总结呢? 接下来就给大家详细讲讲这些问题吧,希望对大家复习英语四级有所帮助。 一、英语四级考试听力技巧 备考听力,要先复习好听力。 在平时的复习中,可以充分利用琐碎时间练习。 然后只要掌握一定的英语四级考试技巧,听力就能拿到高分。 英语四级考试听力技巧可概括为以下3点: 第一就是听前预测。 大家可以在听力开始播放之前就快速浏览一遍题目,划出题干和选项中的关键词,这样可以大致推测出这篇文章的主题是什么。 第二就是记笔记。 大家在听的时候要及时记下和题目有关的关键信息,这样做题时就能够快速定位正确选项,而不用每道题都回想半天。 第三就是要特别注意试题的排列次序。 因为四级听力题常常将小题按录音材料的内容排列顺序。 所以如果没有时间预先阅读选项或时间不宽裕,大家也可以边听录音边依次浏览选项,同时进行思考、答题。 二、英语四级考试翻译技巧 英语四级考试翻译题型与听力,阅读,写作相比不一样。 因为,其它几部分只需要提升英语水平即可。 而翻译,不仅需要扎实的英语基础,更需要深厚的中文功底。 英语基础知识的夯实,你可以在真题中学习。
真题资料可以帮你逐句精解单词和语法知识,词汇注释和语法知识详细到可以不用查阅任何资料。 能为你的复习节省大量的时间,大大提高你的复习效率。 翻译做题技巧: 1.翻译时有必要增加词语来使英文的表达更加顺畅。 2.为了有更强的节奏感和押韵,汉语中也经常会出现排比句。 在翻译这些句子时,为了符合英文表达的逻辑,就要有所删减或省略。 3.注意词类变形和词性转换,尤其是名词、动词、形容词之间的转换。 4.要注意语态之间的转换。汉语中主动语态出现频率较高,英语中被动语态的使用率较高。 5.在遇到较长的句子或较复杂的句子时,可以考虑分译,以使译文简洁,通俗易懂。 三、英语四级考试写作技巧 英语四级写作复习技巧之前,建议大家多学习四级范文。 写作考试技巧: 1.卷面整洁,不要做涂改。 2.少用模板、少说空话,多些现场发挥,这点要求你要注意平时积累。 建议大家背点开头、结尾的万能句型,积累一些好的写作语料,四级作文就成了。 相关文章： 1.英语知识 2.30%的英文 3.英语资料下载 4.英语最实用口语100句
