四六級(jí)聽力在很大程度上決定著四六級(jí)考試成績的高低。四六級(jí)聽力是最容易得分又最容易失分的一個(gè)題型，好多學(xué)生雖然英語基礎(chǔ)不好，但聽力過硬，在考試中就成功地扭轉(zhuǎn)了乾坤，不僅順利通過了考試，甚至還取得了高分，而英語聽力不太好的學(xué)生，雖然在其他題型方面有扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)，感覺做題得心應(yīng)手，但往往無法取得理想的考試成績。鑒于此，同學(xué)們一定要從一開始就注意聽力的練習(xí)。下面，就聽力如何練習(xí)給大家提出一些指導(dǎo)，希望對同學(xué)們的聽力練習(xí)有所幫助。

　　如何預(yù)測英語六級(jí)聽力長對話的方法

　　一、各題主題揭示對話主題

　　將各題所考查的主題內(nèi)容結(jié)合在一起，往往可得出整篇對話的主題。如果某一題目是考查對話主題，其中的一個(gè)選項(xiàng)明顯能夠概括其他各題選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容，那么該選項(xiàng)很可能為答案。

　　【例1】(710分樣卷Conversation One)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　19. [A]To interview a few job applicants.

　　[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.

　　[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.

　　[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.

　　20. [A]A hard working ambitious young man.

　　[B]A young man good at managing his time.

　　[C]A college graduate with practical working experience.

　　[D]A young man with his own idea of what is important.

　　21. [A]Not clearly specified.

　　[B]Not likely to be met.

　　[C]Reasonable enough.

　　[D]Apparently sexist.

　　【聽前預(yù)測】

　　預(yù)覽三道題各選項(xiàng)，由19題中的interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager, apply for a job等詞語可以推測對話與刊登招聘廣告或應(yīng)聘工作有關(guān)。而20題中hardworking, ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea等詞語則表明對話中還涉及到對所招聘人員的要求。

　　二、選項(xiàng)均以動(dòng)詞的某種形式開頭

　　含有這類選項(xiàng)的問題為考查“行為活動(dòng)”類型。根據(jù)動(dòng)詞的不同形式，問題考查的重點(diǎn)也可能不同。

　　選項(xiàng)均以動(dòng)詞原形開頭，問題大多是關(guān)于建議某人做某事，有時(shí)也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。

　　選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)名詞，問題大多是關(guān)于正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或者計(jì)劃打算。

　　選項(xiàng)為不定式，問題很可能是關(guān)于做某事的目的，或是計(jì)劃、承諾或要求做某事。

　　【例2】(新06-12- -20)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　[A] File a lawsuit against the man.

　　[B] Ask the man for compensation.

　　[C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.

　　[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.

　　【聽前預(yù)測】

　　選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)詞原形，故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的行為活動(dòng)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均是針對男士的行為，故本題很可能是關(guān)于某人與男士發(fā)生爭吵或沖突時(shí)所采取的應(yīng)對措施。

　　【聽音驗(yàn)證】

　　…

　　W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.

　　M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have to pick up my son.

　　…

　　21. What did the woman threaten to do?

　　【例3】(710分樣卷-19)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　[A]To interview a few job applicants.

　　[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.

　　[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.

　　[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.

　　【聽前預(yù)測】

　　選項(xiàng)均為不定式短語，故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人將要采取的行動(dòng)。[ A ]、[ C ]是關(guān)于招聘工作(interview, advertise)，[ B ]、[ D]則是關(guān)于申請工作(fill, apply for)，故聽音時(shí)應(yīng)留意該行為是關(guān)于招聘還是應(yīng)聘。

　　【聽音驗(yàn)證】

　　M: Morning, Brenda.

　　W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.

　　M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?

　　W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.

　　M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.

　　…

　　19. What did Mr. Browning ask Brenda to do?

　　三、選項(xiàng)中含有表示意愿或建議的詞

　　如果選項(xiàng)中含有should, had better, would like等一類的詞語，問題很可能是考查“觀點(diǎn)或建議”。

　　【例4】(新06-12-25)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.

　　[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.

　　[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.

　　[D] Cooperation between pilots and air controllers is essential.

　　【聽前預(yù)測】

　　由選項(xiàng)中的should可推知，本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的觀點(diǎn)或建議。選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容表明問題應(yīng)該與確保安全飛行的因素有關(guān)。

　　【聽音驗(yàn)證】

　　…

　　M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simple misunderstanding.

　　W: Wow, that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.

　　…

　　25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?
