本次四級考試的聽力部分秉承了以往考試的考點和技巧,從多方位考察了考生聽力的能力和對文章內(nèi)容的理解把握。
短對話
首先,從短對話來看,語言考點本身的繼承表現(xiàn)為考察重點和語言表達(dá)兩個方面。
從考察重點上來看,歷年四級考試都注重了原因、轉(zhuǎn)折、建議、反問等內(nèi)容的考察。而從這次的四級考試中可以看到類似的蹤跡:
11. W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?
M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore.
Q: What does the man mean?
此題明顯考察了轉(zhuǎn)折考點,對男人回答中but部分針對提問。
12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need.
W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don’t we go together?
Q: What does the woman mean?
此題明顯考察了反問和建議考點,對女人回答中部分why don’t we go together?針對提問。
15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t let me pass!
M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.
Q: What does the man imply?
本題考察建議句型考點,以if I were you的方式表達(dá)了男人對該觀點的認(rèn)可。
從語言表達(dá)上來看,歷年四級考試都注重了語音、語調(diào)、語速,場景詞匯和詞組,句式表達(dá)和考察。而從這次的四級考試中可以看到類似的蹤跡:
14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?
M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.
Q: What does the man mean?
本題主要考察語言表達(dá)的語音上的特色,用英音的方式讀的schedule對考生來說有相當(dāng)難度。
13. M: Forgive the mess in here, we had a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food.
W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today.
Q: What does the woman think the man will do?
本題屬于06年6月24日第一次新題型第12題的內(nèi)容更新。當(dāng)時原題也是提到了make a mess,并且clean it up yourself的表達(dá)。
16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come.
W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.
Q: What does the woman imply?
本題是短對話中考得最神奇的一道題,該題是對95年6月考題的完全重復(fù),唯一的區(qū)別是把讀題的男女雙方換了一下。無獨有偶的是,去年長對話就出現(xiàn)了對89年考題的原文重復(fù),將89年第十題的短對話變成了長對話考題的一個回合內(nèi)容。正如筆者曾分析的,考生必須對老題重新樹立一個正確的態(tài)度,畢竟來說,重復(fù)十年內(nèi)考題的概率要低很多,反而是更早的考題不容易引起正義。
