B.對話部分的應試技巧
聽力測試的對話內(nèi)容主要是日常生活中的一般交際內(nèi)容,涉及到衣、食、住、行、工作和學習等。對話的題材主要談工作情況、職業(yè)特點、家庭計劃、行為動機、事件背景、人物動態(tài)、行動意圖等。根據(jù)近年,尤其是2003年6月四級聽力測試的試題來看,聽力材料中的句子結(jié)構(gòu)漸趨復雜,主從復合句明顯增加,隱含否定題型,言外之意題型和重復反問題型時有出現(xiàn),而且語境材料偏長,信息量大、選項相對較長,這就使四級聽力的難度大大增加,考慮到聽力測試命題的這種趨勢,同學們更應該明確主攻方向,針對聽力測試的重點和難點,做好復習備考工作。
