四級聽力的三個基本思路:
- 學(xué)習(xí)——基于學(xué)生的角度,一定是抱怨學(xué)習(xí);
-
生活——典型聽力詞匯有如下:
poor-很窮,
Student ID-學(xué)生證,用于 discount-打折,bargain-討價還價; - 學(xué)習(xí) VS 生活——忙,忙于學(xué)習(xí)。
PS:總之,解題從這三個思路出發(fā),如果聽不清題目說什么,就用這三個思路往上套
Part I 對話題
一、But 題型
But 題型如下:
A:···
B:···,but ···.
重點聽第二個說話人B說話,but后面所說的話為重點,出題點往往在but后面。四級聽力題中,But后面的為重點的占95%,之前的為重點的占5%。
e.g.(下面這題是反例,考的居然是but之前的內(nèi)容,不過這種情況很少出現(xiàn)的)
A: I suppose you've bought some gifts for your family.
B: Well,I've bought a shirt for my father and two books for my sister.But I've not decided what to buy for my mother.Probably some jewels.
Question: Who did the man buy the book for?
Answer: His sister.
二. 場景題
場景題選項特點:
(1)介詞結(jié)構(gòu)in/at somewhere
(2)To do 開頭的(問的是purpose目的)
(3)Doing……/They're doing……/They're……ing.
(4)A and B(人之間的關(guān)系relationship)e.g.Students and teacher.
場景題提問方式:
(1)what(過去,現(xiàn)在,將來)
(2)Where is the conversation taking place?/
Where does the conversation take place?
(3)When is the conversation taking place?
(4)Who-->where(location)問人是誰,可以從他所在的地方來判斷。
