[聽力原文]
W: When I was getting divorced in 1975,reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldn't let him in .He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. I just couldn't believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves as shavings the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesn't matter how personal the matter may be. People don't trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in groups to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, it is usually buried among advertisements. I have received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know what is true in the press these days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious, responsible and honest reporters. Don't judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors-take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers of see on television news.

among advertisements此題考察考生對具體信息的掌握和單詞拼寫的掌握。本題出現(xiàn)“where”這個詞提示是對地點提問,因此應對涉及到地點的短語和介詞特別注意。

(四)第二節(jié)的解題技巧 來源:考試大
1.考點預測
同第一節(jié)相同,由于在實際考試中題干中包含了大量信息,因此,考生在聽錄音之前,考生猜測中短文或者對話的主題內(nèi)容,做好考題的定位。同時,由于第二節(jié)在第一節(jié)考查考生獲取具體信息的基礎上,還增加了考查考生獲取或總結總體信息的能力??忌鷳撎貏e注意猜測文章的主題內(nèi)容。
2.特別注意短文或者對話的開頭結尾
第二節(jié)聽力測試中,特別要求考查考生對總體信息的獲取和提煉。而根據(jù)英文寫作習慣和西方人的慣性思維。有關文章主旨、主題、目的的內(nèi)容多出現(xiàn)在短文或者對話的開頭和結尾,因此,考生對這部分的內(nèi)容應該特別小心。由于開頭時考生需要一段時間適應,所以這部分內(nèi)容往往容易被忽略。此時,可以通過關注短文的結尾進行補救。聽力原文的結尾往往是開頭的同義反復或者進一步的推論。
3.熟記單詞,或者尋找同義詞
填充題型中對考生的單詞拼寫能力提出了更高的要求,要求考生不但要能聽懂,而且要能寫出具體的詞匯。因此,考生平時在聽聽力時要養(yǎng)成良好的詞匯聽寫的習慣,這樣既可以幫助記憶單詞,又可以對自己的聽力速記水平的提出更高的要求,也有助于聽力強化訓練。具體在考試時,如果實在碰到拼寫不出來的單詞,盡量找同義詞進行替代。 來源:考試大
4.忠實原文,避免出現(xiàn)語法錯誤
填充題型最容易失分的地方之一,就是填空的時候不注意時態(tài)、語態(tài)、人稱、數(shù)格,還有出現(xiàn)簡單的語法錯誤和拼寫錯誤。因此,我們建議考生在第一遍聽力錄音播放完之后盡量也盡快填充答案,在第二遍聽力錄音播放完之后,參照原文進行檢查的同時也注意檢查語法和拼寫。
(五) 第三節(jié)的命題思路
聽力考試的第三節(jié)考察考生獲取特定信息,理解主旨要義和詳細信息,猜測詞義,判斷說話者的態(tài)度、意圖的能力??忌鶕?jù)聽到的三段獨白或者對話材料(每段200-300詞),從每題所給的4個選項中選出選項。注意該小節(jié)錄音材料將只播放一遍。問題在提干中給出,不再在錄音中播放。第一、二段獨白或者對話播放錄音前有15秒的答題時間,第一遍錄音放完后有30秒答題時間,第三段獨白或者對話播放錄音前有20秒的答題時間,第一遍錄音放完后有40秒答題時間??荚囘M行時,考生先將答案寫在試卷上;聽力部分結束前,考生有5分鐘的時間將考試卷上的答案謄寫或磚土道答題卡上。
第三節(jié)聽力測試考察考生在五個方面的綜合能力,而且該小節(jié)聽力錄音只播放一遍,因此,難度較前兩節(jié)有較大增加。但是,由于第三小節(jié)全部是客觀題,考生在播放錄音前15到20秒應該充分利用時間,分析各小題的選項,對文章內(nèi)容進行程度的猜測。而且由于考題在試卷上印出,因此,可以帶著問題去聽聽力。所以,總的來說,只要掌握了一定的方法,攻克這部分考題也不是難事
