大學(xué)英語四級考試中聽力短對話的話題基本是衣、食、住、行等日常生活中常見的話題或與學(xué)校生活相關(guān)的話題。例如:2006年12月四級考試中的聽力短對話出現(xiàn)了圣誕節(jié)禮物、喜愛的食物、買歌劇門票以及會說幾種語言等話題。聽力短對話雖然短小,但是不應(yīng)忽視,如果掌握方法,這部分得高分還是很容易的。要答好這部分題目,首先要區(qū)分說話者的性別,其次是弄清說話者的觀點(diǎn),后再排除干擾項(xiàng),得出答案。下面我們首先來看看聽力短對話的?？碱}型和提問方式,再根據(jù)它們的特點(diǎn)分析一下短對話的解題技巧。
一、短對話的題型大體上分為以下五類:1. 時間類:這類題目經(jīng)常以when來提問。
例如:W: Your library books are due on December 13th. If you have not finished using them by then, you may renew them once.
M: Thank you very much. I only need them for a few days.
Q: When must the man return his books to the library?
2. 地點(diǎn)及場所類:經(jīng)常以where提問,比如問對話發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)。這類題在聽力對話題中比較簡單,考生只需掌握表示地點(diǎn)及方位的介詞短語,抓住其中的關(guān)鍵場景特點(diǎn),就能辨認(rèn)出對話發(fā)生的場所。當(dāng)你聽到boarding一詞的時候,應(yīng)該馬上聯(lián)想到機(jī)場。
例如:M: I need to cash this check?
W: Will you step right over to the teller’s window, please?
Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
3. 數(shù)字類:一般來說需要進(jìn)行簡單的換算,這類題目比較簡單,是聽力中的拿分題。
例如:W: Do you live in a college dormitory?
M: Yes, I do. It’s a six-man suite, but at the moment only four of us live there.
Q: How many people share the suite now?
4. 人物關(guān)系及身份類:此類對話提供一個情節(jié),能反映所涉及人的關(guān)系或身份。人物關(guān)系及身份類題型幾乎每次考試都會出現(xiàn),我們可以通過抓關(guān)鍵的特征詞來判斷。四級聽力中常見的人物關(guān)系及身份有teacher and student, librarian and student, shop assistant and customer, doctor and patient, waiter (waitress) and customer。
5. 活動類:這一類談話內(nèi)容可涉及上課、娛樂、工作、日常生活等各種情況。
例如:M: Professor Smith asked me to go to his office after class. So it’s impossible for me to make it to the bar at ten.
W: Then it seems that we’ll have to meet an hour later at the library.
Q: What will the man do first after class?
二、短對話的提問方式通常包括以下六種:
1. 問"是什么、要什么"等。例如:
What is the man’s answer? What does the woman want for lunch?
What kind of books does the man want to borrow?
2. 問"做什么"。例如:
What will the man do first after class? What does the woman tell the man to do first?
What will happen if John fails the exam?
What does the woman want the man to do?What would the woman most probably do?
3. 問"什么含義"。例如:
What does the woman mean?
What does the man mean (imply)?
What does the woman’s answer suggest?
4. 問"從對話中能獲得什么信息或結(jié)論"。例如:
What do we learn from the conversation?
What do we learn about John from the conversation?
What do we learn about the taxi driver?
5. 問"對某人或某事有什么看法"。例如:
What does the man think of Miss Brown?
What does the woman think of the plan?
6. 問"對話可能是在什么場所發(fā)生的"。例如:
Where does this conversation most probably take place?
Where does this conversation most likely occur?
Where are the man and the woman?
總之,短對話的提問方式通常是特殊疑問句。除了以上這些提問方式,通常還有提問時間、提問人物關(guān)系及身份、提問數(shù)字等。無論是哪種提問方式,都是和聽力的對話內(nèi)容和題目類型相對應(yīng)的,只要我們把握了對話的重要考試&大信息就可以快速正確地選出答案
