常见设问方式: What time is it now? When will the train leave? When will the visitors come?
When will the man probably get to Beijing? When and where do they agree to meet finally? 应试技巧
要想做好这部分听力题,有两个秘诀:一是做好笔记,将听到的时间记录在一旁; 是注意用来表示动作先后发生的词。这些表示动作先后发生的词归纳起来主要有: (1)表示:“谁在谁之前”的常用词: already, before, previous, former等;
(2)表示“两者同时”常用词: meanwhile, meantime, presently(不久,现在),then, now, contemporary(同代人,同龄人), simultaneous(同时的,同时发生的)等;
(3)表示“谁在谁之后”的常用词有; after, finally., immediately, last, later, next, suddenly等; (4) January(Jan); February(Feb): March(Mar); April(Apr); May: June(Jun): July(Ju): August( Aug); September(Sept); October(Oct); November(Nov): December(Dec)
(5)Monday( Mon); Tuesday(Tues): Wednesday(Wed);Thursday(Thurs)Friday(Fri); Saturday( Sat); Sunday(Sun)
6)half past…, a quarter to…, a.m., p.m., before, ahead, earlier…(时间的提前) 7)later, delay, put off…(时间的推迟) 8)近音干扰,如:fifteen和fifty
(二)对话场景题
此类试题主要考查有关地点的信息,要求考生判断对话发生的地点。有些地点是对话中直接提到的,有些是需要根据对话的内容来判断的, 还有的是两者兼而有之。常见对话场景:学校(教室)、医院(诊所)、机场、车站、餐馆、商店、图书馆、书店、邮局、警察局等。
常见设问方式:Where does the conversation most probably take place?/Where are the two speakers?/Where does the man(woman) work?/Where is the man going? Where does the conversation take place? Where is the conversation most likely taking place? Where is the man \\woman now? Where are the two speakers?
应试技巧
在这类题目中,往往不能直接听到对话中出现关键的地名。必须根据对话情节来推断 事件发生的地点。做这类题目的时候需要: (1)熟悉一些与常考地点相关的词。例如:
饭店,旅馆: waiter, tip, check ,menu, soup, salad, check in/out, book, room, reception, order, drink, steak, beef, cafeteria, cream, hamburger, beer
邮局,银行: post office, stamp, mail, package, postage, postcard, letter, parcel, bank, cash, account, savings, check等。
法院,: court, judge, crime, criminal, lawyer, sentence, admit.
医院:doctor, patient, operation, medicine, temperature, headache, dentist, symptom, treatment, cure, blood
加油站,商店: fill it up, check the oil, change, expensive, cheap, petrol, price, fashion, suit, afford. 学校: campus, teacher, exam, mark, homework, subject等。
车站,飞机场,海关:stop, ticket, subway, plane customs, visa, platform, flight等。 (2)把对话中人物的身份和关系作为判断基础,然后再与对话情节结合起来。 (3)注意一些介词和地点名词的组合,以及一些表示方位的词。 (4)常见的生活场景:
电话场景 1. operator 接线员
2. call/ telephone/ ring/ phone sb. 或give sb. a call/ ring 3. Hello! This is … speaking. Who’s speaking? / Who is that? 4. Extension six two two six, please. 请转6226。 5. long distance call 长途电话

Who are the speakers?/ What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
应试技巧 (1)注意称呼语
对话中的称呼语往往会直接暴露出说话人的身份或说话双方的关系,比如Mr.一词就表明对方很可能是自己的上级或老师。 (2)捕捉关键词及人物语气
解答这类试题,不但要熟悉体现某种人物关系或某种职业的相关词汇,而且要注意说话人的语气和态度,比如师生之间、夫妻之间、家长与孩子之间以及老板与员工之间的说话方式和语气均有自己的特点 (3)常考职业身份
高考对话中常涉及的职业身份包括:教授( professor),秘书( secretary),医生( doctor),老板(boss),服务员( waiter/ waitress),主人(host/ hostess),家庭角色( husband, wife, son, daughter, girlfriend. (4)常考人物关系
高考对话中常涉及的人物关系包括:夫妻( husband-wife),父子( father-son),母子( mother-son),师生( teacher-student),同学( schoolmate/ classmate),同事( colleague),老板与秘书(boss- secretary),雇主与雇员( employer-employee),医生与病人( doctor-patient),服务员与顾客( waiter/ waitress--customer),主人与客人(host/ hostess-guest),警察与司机( policeman-driver),管理员与借阅者( librarian-reader),房东与租房者(landlord/landlady-tenant
(四) 数字判断和简单计算
许多听力材料中涉及数字,例如年代、日期、价格、数量等等,并且会以基数词、序数词、分数、小数、百分比等形式出现,这就要求考生辨别各种形式的数字,还要熟悉数字之间的关系 常见设问方式:
When did the plane take off? When will the train arrive?
What time is it now?
How long did the meeting last? What’s the price of the car?
How much per pound are the oranges? How much did the man spend on the tickets? How much does the woman have to pay for the dress? 数字题
听力题所涉及的数字包括年代、时间、距离、速度、价格、数量等。要求回答某事在什么 时间发生;或者某人在什么时间做什么事情;价格、数量等。在做数字计算题时,考生除了应 该听清具体的数字,还应该注意表示倍数、百分率等的单词。
考查数字的辨音。其中考生觉得较难的是“十几”和“几十”的区别,即-teen和-ty。比如, fifteen和 fifty的区分。
考查和价格有关的数字表达方式:
a.美元单位: dollar(元),dime(角),cent(美分), nickel(5美分), quarter(25美分);
b.商品“打几折”的读法有两种:可以直接读at a x% discount或x% off,例如打七折可以说成 at a70% discount或30%off;
c.其他一些与数字有关的表达: couple(一对), dozen(一打), fortnight(两周),a few days ago/ the other day(几天前);
d.注意以下单位:inch(英寸),foot(英尺),yard(码),mile(英里), meter(米), centimeter(厘米), kilometer(公里),gram(克), kilometer(千克),ton(吨), gallon(加仑),pint(品脱),square meter(平方米),cubic meter(立方米), liter(升) 计算题
在英语听力中计算题属于比较难的题型,要求同学们不仅能分辨不同的时间、金钱等数 量概念,还应该将能听到的各个数量联系起来进行加减运算。计算题可以分为两类:一类是 直接选择题,一类是运算题。根据对话内容做一些简单的加减乘除运算。不管加减还是乘 除,这类题中至少会出现两个数字,保险的做法是用笔在试题旁边记下有关数字,然后按要 求做相应的计算。记住下面这些表示数字与数字之间的关系词
a.表加减关系的词,如more(多),less(少),late(晚), early(早),fast(快),slow(慢),before(前), after(后) b.表乘除关系的词,如 times(倍), twice(两倍), percentage(百分比), a pair of(一双),half of(一半), doublet双倍), quarter(四分之一)等。
(五)方法、原因与理由题型:
提问方式:
Why is she late\\angry\\disappointed? Why didn’t\\couldn’t he \\she go to the theatre? What is the reason for her leaving for New York?
这类问题主要对原因进行提问,常与文中表示原因的句子形成因果关系。因此要注意 because, for, since, as, so that, in order to等引|导的句子或短语。常见的因果关系表达法有两种 (1)通过词汇来表示因果关系。有些对话中含有因果关系的“信息词”,对话本身有明确的表示因果的关系。
表示“原因”的常用的连词有
because, since, for, as, considering that, now that
表示“原因”的常用的介词或者介词短语有: because of, due to, thanks to, as a result of,owing to, on account of 等
表示“原因”的常用的动词或动词短语: cause, give rise to, result in, result from, lead to、contribute to, be responsible for, be brought about等
表示“结果”的常见词汇:so, so that, so..that.…,such..that.., in order that, therefore, asa result of等 (2)通过对话的语意和语境来表示因果关系。有时因果关系的表达都不会直接出现信 息词。说话人有时出于礼貌不直接讲出不能做某事的原因,往往是先通过肯定以表明赞同 的态度,然后利用转折词说出直接的原因,常用句型如“I' d love to, but.”和“ I wish I could but.”等,这是英语的表达习惯。要求考生正确判断事物发展的前因后果,作深层的分析 综合性地分析对话,通过上下文理解其中的因与果.
(六)观点态度题
此类题要求考生根据对话者说话的语音、语调、语气以及谈话内容,判断出说话者对某人、某事物的看法或态度。
常见设问方式:What does the man(woman) say about/think of…?/How does the man(woman) feel about/like…?/What’s the man’s(woman’s) opinion about…/What is the man’s(woman’s) attitude toward the conversation?/How does the man(woman) feel?/The man’s(woman’s) feeling toward the subject can be best described as…等。
这类题要求考生不但能理解录音原文的主旨大意,并且能够从说话者的语音、语调、语 气及谈话内容,判断出说话者对某人、某事物的看法或态度。
表示态度的形容词如curious,interested,different,sympathetic,critical,或表示情感的形容词如sad,excited,satisfied,puzzled,nervous。态度或情感一般涉及:热情、冷漠、同意、反对、同情、不满、好奇、惊异、悲伤、兴奋、幸福、困惑、紧张等。审好题干对这一类题尤其重要,在题干中经常会出现一些标志词,如like,dislike,agree,disagree,prefer to等,识别这些词易于在头脑中先形成预测,有利于在听音过程中注意力的有效分配。 此类题要求考生根据对话中的提示词、语气、语调等内涵意义,推断出谈话人的意图和 想法。就语调而言,降调(尤其是在一般疑问句和反意疑问句中)通常表示讲话人的态度是 肯定、赞同的,而升调(特别是在陈述句或特殊疑问句中)表示对事物的怀疑、惊讶或否定。 另外,注意一些语法的运用,如:虚拟语气表示与事实相反( I wish I had never had it);否定 比较级结构表示最高级( It couldn' t be better. I couldn' t agree more.);定语从句对人和事进 步修饰( She is the person who is always speaking ill of others.)。
(七) 意图、主旨与要义题型:
提问方式:
What does the man/woman think of……? What does he/she mean?
What does the man/woman imply?
What is the most probable result of the conversation? What can we learn from what the speaker said? What can we infer (conclude) from the conversation?
听力主旨题考查学生把握谈话内容主要内容的能力。有的主旨比较明确,有时则贯穿 整个对话过程,需要考生自己去归纳概括 解题时要注意:
(1)记住谈话人加重语气所强调的人、事物或概念,从说话人的语气上体会主旨大意; (2)努力把握谈话人的关键词或短语,尤其要关注谈话人不止一次用到的词或短语。 (3)从宏观上把握谈话内容,不应纠缠在某一些小细节上,否则往往会造成以偏概全。 (4)注意不要只从对话一方的话语中寻找答案。由于是考查谈话主题,因此双方的话语 中都应含有与主题相关的线索词。
四、高考听力提分策略及临场解题指导
(一)提分策略
1. 培养正确的语音和语言基础技能 (1)加强48 个音素的训练; (2)加强单词辨音训练;
(3)加强跟读与朗读训练,培养好的语感。 2. 加强日常词汇和语法等基础知识的学习 (1)扩大词汇量; (2)提高语法意识。 (二)临场解题指导
1. 调节情绪,保持良好的心理状态 2. 读题预览预测,变被动为主动 (1)预览:
①拿到试卷,在填涂完姓名及准考证号后的剩余时间预览; ②在播放试音小乐曲及试音材料时预览; ③在介绍第一节试题的做法时预览;
④在每段对话或独白播放前的5秒钟时间预览。 (2)预测
①根据题目中的语言信息预测; ②抓住关键词预测。 3. 抓大放小,紧盯关键词句
通常只要捕捉到关键的词句就能找出问题的答案,不要盲目地逐词逐句地听。
4. 熟悉听力常见词汇,形成思维定势,对症下药。高考英语听力的设疑方式是相对稳定的。比如说,常在故事情境发生的主要要素上设疑。一般来说,特定场景的用语和关键词是基本固定的,考生在平时的训练中应多加留意。
5. 多感官协调,把握速记要领,增加得分空间。考生在平时训练时,要养成多感官协调运作的好习惯,学会用自己熟悉的符号速记材料中提到的年、月、日、星期、钟点、年龄、距离、价格等关键信息,并在脑海中及时换算。
6. 学会放弃,避难就易,不放过任何可得分。高考英语属于能力选拔型考试,考生不一定能顺利完成所有的题目。再加之英语听力的语速、语音、语调的特点,在交际中出现的连读、爆破、辅音浊化等一系列语言现象以及材料中可能涉及到的语法,如部分否定、虚拟语气、表示转折、让步等的特殊句型和情态动词的特殊用法等,使得一部分考生应接不暇,难以听懂,这是很正常的。遇到这种情况,考生要学会放弃,避难就易,不放过任何可得分。

M: Well, I’d like to, but I don’t know much about the situation at the moment…you know, about schools and all that. But I hope to move the family out there in a couple of months’ time. I don’t think I want to spend a year and a half out there on my own...I mean, without Rachel and the kids. I mean, I don’t see that much of them now as it is. W: Yeah. Well, that’s the way it is normally in our company, I suppose.
M: Yeah. Well, we’ll see. Let me pay for the coffee. W: No, no. I’ll pay. Text 10
W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our program. I’m Jenny Jackson. The weather here in Juárez has become unbearable. With no rains for over a year, the city is suffering from unusually hot weather. Some light showers have been forecast since last month, but all of them have been effective in surrounding areas. Summer has not even started yet, but temperatures have reached 40 degrees centigrade in the past three days. And people have been warned not to go out of their homes — not if you walk on foot, at least — between 11 in the morning and 7 in the evening. Little kids and the elderly are the ones who have suffered the most from this extreme heat wave. They must drink water all the time. To help our audience have a better understanding of this extreme weather, we have invited Prof. Torres from University of Mexico to our studio this evening.
