第一招:相关优先原则


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: 1999年12月第4题
4. A) Visiting the Browning.
B) Writing a postcard.
C) Looking for a postcard.
D) Filling in a form.
例题分析:B、C两项均含有 a poscard ,B、D两项均含有写...之意,即B、C和B、D构成双重相关,即可得出B为正确选项!
本题听力原文:
4. M: What's the matter? You've been sitting there for ages, just staring into space.
W: I told the Browning I'd send them a postcard. Now I don't know what to say.
Q: What's the woman doing?

第二招:异项优先原则


当选项中出现有意思明显相反的两项时,那么正确答案必在此二项中出现!如果出现双重异项,那么即可判断出正确答案,异项优先原则在六级考试听力短对话中应用广泛!
典型例题: 1999年12月第6题
6. A) She can’t finish her assignment, either.
B) She can’t afford a computer right now.
C) The man can use her computer.
D) The man should buy a computer right away.
例题分析:B、C异项,B项的意思是她现在有电脑,C项的意思则是她现在没有电脑。B、D异项,B是说女方无电脑,而D是说男方无电脑,男女也是一种反意关系。所以根据双重异项原则可确定正确答案为B项!
本题听力原文:
6. M: I'm frustrated. We're supposed to do our assignment on the computer, but I have difficulty getting access to the computers in the library.
W: I understand the way you feel. I'm looking forward to the day when I can afford to get my own.
Q: What does the woman mean?

第三招:女士优先原则


做题做多了,我们应该了解西方人的思维方式,当对话中出现女士的建议和要求时,我们一定要注意,这时女士说出来的话很可能就是正确选项的异意!因为女士经常以女神的形象出面,她们代表的是美好、正面、阳光的信息!
典型例题: 1999年12月第9题
9. A) The man should stick to what he’s doing.
B) The man should take up a new hobby.
C) The man should stop playing tennis.
D) The man should find the cause for his failure.
例题分析:通过选项我们可以分析出男人做一些事情遇到了困难,这时一位女人出来安慰男人,根据女神原则可知女人一定会让男人坚持把这件事情做下去,而不要放弃,这样的题型太多了,所以可呈现出一定的规律性!
本题听力原文:
9. M: I think I'm going to give up playing tennis. I lost again today.
W: Just because you lost? It that the reason to quit?
Q: What does the woman imply?

第四招:概括、抽象优先原则


当选项中出现比较概括、抽象的句子时,这时我们就要把表述事实的、具体的句子划掉,而去选择表概、抽象、比较性的句子!此原则可衍生出一个包含取大的原则,在作题时应用也是十分的广泛,一般当两个选项的意思接近时,表述比较全面的一般为正确选项!
典型例题:
7. A) The visiting economist has given several lectures.
B) The guest lecturer’s opinion is different from Dr. Johnson’s.
C) Dr. Johnson and the guest speaker were schoolmates.
D) Dr. Johnson invited the economist to visit their college
例题分析:A、C、D均为表述事实的句子,只有B项为对比、比较的句子,较之A、C、D项更为抽象的表述了一件事情,所以B项为正确选项!
本题听力原文:
7. M: The visiting economist is speaking tonight, but Dr. Johnson doesn't seem to think much of him.
W: That's because Dr. Johnson comes from an entirely different school of thought.
Q: What do we learn from the woman's remark?

第五招:态度和虚拟优先原则


这两种方法一般无单独命题的规律性,只是作为上述四种宏观方法的辅助方法出现,当只剩下两个选项时,通常正态度的选项容易是正确答案,表虚拟的选项更容易是正确答案!

1、比较级、最高级定位原则:

first、earliest、most、the most important reason、the chief、the simplest、many of、only、differ、especially 当短文中出现上述单词时,答案一般会在附近出现

2、转折词及因果词定位原则:

1)故事的突然转折及其原因肯定是短文的答案
2)转折及原因往往由But-so(结果)或because(原因)组合或是其他转折词:instead、unfortunately,however、yet、one,the other或是on one hand-on the other hand组合,although,nevertheless其他因果词since,the reasons is,as a result引导
3)文章中偶尔也会将某一个but省读,此时要注意自己搭建因果联系

3、数字时间定位原则:

1)如果选项中出现年代、时间、数字中的任何一种,文章中的数字时间则肯定是考点
2)如果文章中出现两个以上的数字时间,该句肯定含有答案
3)数字时间定位包括年代定位和过去现在对比定位两种形式
4)当数字时间和比较级最高级组合在一起的时候或是数字时间出现在文章开始和结束 时,答案肯定在附近

4、首末句定位原则:

1)四级听力中70%的听力答案出现在第一个句群和最后一个句群,大多数情况是原文重现,偶尔也会简单的同意解释
2)末句句群的开始标志为数字时间、因果词、转折词或是比较级最高级词汇
3)如果第一句之后出现yet,则以第二句转折后的内容为准

一、 语言因素在听力中的运用  

听力理解可分为字面理解和深层理解。要做到字面理解,就必须具备一定的语音知识、一定的词汇知识和一定的语法知识。也只有在理解字面意思的基础上才有可能对听力材料进行深层次的理解,所以语言因素是听力理解的基础。我们常提到的语言因素包括:

1、语音知识
  
听力不同于阅读,要求同学们必须具备准确辨音的能力,这是口头交际的基础。在正确掌握每个单词的发音的同时,必须注意以下几个方面:  
(1)Q: What is the womans comment on the mans paper? (1996.1)  
A. The ideas of the paper are not convincing.  
B. Some parts of the paper are not well written.  
C. The handwriting of the paper is not good.  
D. The paper is not complete.  
本题考查的是同学们对虚拟语气句子的理解,答案是B。)英语中最小对立体的发音,如ship---sheep, cheap ----  
chip, pig ---peg, sack ---sock等,有针对性地进行发音训练,比如绕口令之类的练习,如She sells sea cells by the  
seashore. If she sells sea cells by the seashore, then she  
sells seashore cells,适当加强一些针对性的听力练习。  

(2)重读与弱读:
   汉语是一个汉字一个音节,而英语中的一个单词可能就有好多音节,这就造成了英汉节奏的差别。而英语中的一些虚词一般要弱读,这有可能会给听力造成一定的困难。对此也应该进行专项训练。如:  
Whats the time? Sing us a song. Ive eaten them all. He  
has already visited a great number of different places in  
Australia.(红体部分的音节重读)  

(3)连读:连读时语速加快,连读的单词之间没有了间隔,会给理解带来困难。
如:  in ˇor ˇout, yearˇ in and year ˇout, for ˇan ˇhour  

(4)意群:
   听力时不能一个单词一个单词地去理解,应该注意意群,因为意群之间间隔之处正是停顿之处,注意下列语句朗读时停顿的差别:  
John said, " My father is here."  
"John," said my father, "is here."  
She likes pineapples.  
She likes pie and apples.  
He sold his houseboat and trailer.  
He sold his house, boat, and trailer.  

(5)注意同音字:有些单词发音相同,也可能给听力理解带来困难。
如:  What is black and white, and read (red) all over?  
这里在听的时候,很难分请是read还是red。  

(6)语调:
  语调是说话者表达情感的一种手段,同样一个句子如果语调不同,则意思就有可能发生变化,如:  
Open the door, will you?↗  
Open the door, wont you?↘  
用声调表示一种请求,用降调表示命令。  
What? ↗What?↘↗升调表示疑问,降升表示吃惊和不相信。  
测试中同样有可能考查语调的作用,如:  
① W: Where do you want to eat?  
M: Is there anything wrong with the↘ coffee shop?  
Q: What does the man mean?  
A. He wonders if anything happened at the coffee shop.  
B. He doesnt know why the coffee tastes bad.  
C. He only wants coffee because he isnt happy.  
D. He thinks that they ought to go to the coffee shop.  
一般疑问句,却用了降调,表示出说话者愿意去咖啡馆的肯定态度,答案应是D。  
② M: Im terribly sorry Im late, but I just couldnt  
help it.  
I got there as soon as I could.  
W: Well, its not soon enough, ↘is it?  
Q: What does the woman mean?  
A. Its soon enough to get here.  
B. Its not soon enough to get here.  
C. Its not late to get here.  
D. Its early enough to get here.  
降调的使用,说明说话人坚信第一部分说的是事实,由此可以判断答案为B。
