不少经历过2010年12月18日六级考试的考生至今仍对该套题听力的难度心有余悸。本期文章就将针对去年12月份这场考试真题的听力选择题部分进行解题技巧层面的分享,希望可以为即将走进2011年6月六级考试考场的同学们考前充电。


语音



去年12月的考试警醒了众多在语音方面没有充分准备的同学,尤其是平时单方面注重美音而对英式发音不很熟悉的考生,在考试时颇受影响。接下来给大家准备了几个简单的单词,大家可以自己尝试一下他们的英美发音--


Either, dance, course, letter,


current.这些简单词汇的英式和美式发音在我们的历年真题音频中都能找到。



更多英音和美音的区别,请大家多去熟悉历年真题单词和长句的录音,尽量跟读。最终做到能够听懂所有高频词汇的英美发音。


听力选择题部分解题技巧


2010年12月六级考试听力部分在难度上较上一次考试明显加强。对于单词量、重点短语的考察也十分丰富。


一,短对话部分


短对话加强了对场景词汇和语义替换的要求。如直接考察地点"失物招领处"的第17题和重拳出击住房场景的第11题:


11.W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom


listings. It's located in a quiet building and it's close to bus


lines.


M: That maybe true. But look at it, it's awful, the paint has


peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.


Q: What can we infer from the conversation?


其中包含若干住房场景词汇,如油漆剥落、地毯破损、炉具老旧等。如果之前没有专门进行若干场景单词的积累,恐怕解题会有难度。


又如需要理解和语义替换的第14题:


M: This truck looks like what I need but I'm worried about


maintenance. For us it'll have to operate for long periods of time


in very cold temperatures.


W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for


extreme conditions. Would you like to see them?


Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?


正确答案是A) He needs a vehicle to be used in harsh


weather.原文中,男士说担忧卡车的维护,提出truck(替换选项的Vehicle,车辆)需要operate for long


periods of time in very cold temperatures,意思是能够满足长时间在严寒中使用。 very


cold temperatures和extreme conditions即对应harsh


weather.关于"严寒的极端天气"这种说法,早在之前06年6月17日的考试当中就出现过,见当年第三篇短文的18题选项A) How


animals survive harsh conditions in the wild.


短对话应对策略方面,首先,在这里有针对性的给大家总结一下属于听力基础部分的常见场景词汇


校园场景:


freshman大一学生,sophomore大二学生,junior student大三学生, senior


student大四学生,高年级学生, undergraduate student本科生, graduate student /


postgraduate student研究生, tutor / mentor / director /


supervisor导师,take the course选课,drop the course 退课,register注册,sign


up for the course选课,seminar讨论班, selective course /elective course


/optional course选修课,requirement / required course


/compulsory必修课,credit学分,introductory course初级课程,advanced


course高级课程,skip the class翘课,paper/ essay/ thesis论文,


librarian图书管理员,due到期, renew续借, back number过刊, latest issue最新一期,


journal期刊, periodical 期刊


职场场景:


promotion提升、升职, immediate


boss顶头上司,qualification 资历,certificate证书, quit/ resign 辞职,retire退休,


lay off 失业, credential 文凭, apply for the job申请工作, applicant 申请者,


resume简历(注意发音),position职位, occupation职位, job vacancy 职务空缺, job


opening 职位空缺


租房与宾馆场景:


renter/ tenant 房客, landlord地主/房东, lease租约/租契, utilities水电气费用,


let租, furniture家具, carpet地毯, stove炉子, oven炉子, suite套房(注意发音), hotel


receptionist 酒店前台接待员, room service 客房服务, reservation 预订,be booked


up订满


修理工场景:


plumber 管工, mechanic 机师, electrician 电工, carpenter 木匠, telephone


repairman 修理工(以上四个单词请见2001年1月六级短对话第7题四个选项), fix 修理, garage 车库,


vacuum 吸尘器, refrigerator电冰箱, fuse保险丝





其次,要和大家着重强调一下语义理解题中but的重要性。如第13题--


W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed


by next Tuesday?


M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches but that


shouldn't take too long.


Q: What does the man mean?


答案The suitcase can be fixed in


time.在男人的话中,首先说明需要找到一个"可以匹配的把手",但接下来就用一个but说明这个修理过程不会持续很久,也就是我们的答案in


time的来源。


又比如第18题--


M: What are you going to do with the old house you are in


heritage from your grandfather?


W: I once intended to sell it, but now, I'm thinking of turning


it into a guest house, because it's still a solid structure.


Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house?


答案Convert it into a hotel.就是来自于女人答语的but后面。如果错误关注于but前方的内容once


intended to sell it,就会认为"应该卖掉",但听到but之后,才知道答案是turn it into a guest


house,也就是说convert into a hotel的替换。


最后,还是要再次和大家谈谈短对话真题的重复性。


比如刚刚说过的第18题,其中的定位点but和答案点turn it


into替换convert,都是来自于1999年6月份六级考试的听力真题第8题--


A) He may convert it and use it as a restaurant.


B) He may pull it down and build a new restaurant.


C) He may rent it out for use as a restaurant.


D) He may sell it to the owner of a restaurant.


正确答案A,其中也是以convert成为考点。该题原文--


M: What is Mr. Peterson going to do with his old house on London


Road? Rent it or sell it?


W: I heard he is thinking of turning it into a restaurant, which


isn't a bad idea, because it's still a solid building.


Q: What will Mr. Peterson do with his old house?


同样考察了turn it into和convert的同义替换。





二,长对话部分


长对话整体出题较为规整,但也不排除推陈出新的题目,比如第二篇的22题,选项设置很巧妙。



长对话解题思路:a,边听边标记,选项被大部分读到、少部分替换即优选。b,注意逻辑词提示,如but,however,because,so等。c,注意极端词提示,如most,only,absolutely,whole,entire等。d,注意语气语调语速的变化(这点希望考生再对照答案位置关注一下原文放音体会一下)。


19. A. Unique descriptive skills.


B. Good knowledge of


readers' tastes.


C. Colorful world


experiences.


D. Careful plotting and clueing.


20. A. A peaceful setting.


B. A spacious room.






C. To be in the right mood.


D. To be entirely


alone.


21. A. They rely heavily on their own imagination.






B. They have experiences similar to the characters'.






C. They look at the world in a detached manner.


D. They are overwhelmed by their own prejudices.


答案是--


19. D. Careful plotting and clueing.


20. D. To be entirely alone.


21. C. They look at the world in a detached manner.


长对话第一篇原文--


W: When you write a novel, do you know where you're going, Dr.


James?


M: Yes, you must, really, if you're writing the classical


detective story,


(19题答案位置,引导词为because和must,选项重现答案点的原文单词plot和clue,且在后一句紧接着用but引导的I do


plan before I begin writing来再度确认选项答案。)because it must be so


carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have


charts. I have diagrams. It doesn't mean to say that I always get


it right, but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so


fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It


seems to me that creativewriting is a process of revelation,


really, rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.
