  六級聽力選擇題目答題方法點撥
  一,基本解題思路
  小對話:視聽反向原則、同義替換原則。
  視聽反向原則是指,在小對話的題目中,看似明顯被讀到的選項反而更容易是錯的。但須注意,當小對話原文字身較長或生僻詞較多時,該原則可能會出現特例,如03年6月第8題。
  同義替換是指,若某一選項中的單詞或短語是聽力原文中單詞或短語的同義形式,則該選項容易為正確。
  例題:
  2002年6月六級考試第4題
  A. The woman doesn’t think it a problem to get her passport renewed.
  B. The woman has difficulty renewing her passport.
  C. The woman hasn’t renewed her passport yet.
  D. The woman’s passport is still valid.
  原文:
  M: Have you run up against any problems in getting the passport renewed?
  W: I haven’t started applying yet.
  Q: What do we know from the conversation?
  解析:可以明顯看出,本題的答案為D.其中,另外三項的大部分單詞或短語都被讀到。”valid”意為“(在一段時間內)有效的”。
  例題:
  2007年6月六級考試第15題
  A. More money. B. Fair treatment. C. A college education. D. Shorter work hours.
  原文:
  W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month.
  M: I hope not. I’d rather get more work hours so I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college.
  Q: What does the man truly want?
  解析:準確答案A。More money 替換enough bucks,同義替換,聽到的慎選。
  例題:
  2008年12月六級考試第16題
  A. Fixing some furniture. B. Repairing the toy train.
  C. Reading the instructions. D. Assembling the bookcase.
  原文:
  M: The instructions on the package say that you need to do some assembly yourself. I’ve spent all afternoon trying in vain to put this bookcase together.
  W: I know what you mean. Last time I tried to assemble a toy train for my son and I almost gave up.
  Q: What does the man find difficult?
  解析:準確答案D。assemble 和put...together同義替換,聽到部分的慎選。
  長對話和短文聽力:視聽基本一致原則、同義替換原則、特殊詞定位原則
  視聽基本一致的含義是指,若聽到的原文和看到的選項基本一致,則選項容易為正確。這一點和小對話的原則恰恰相反,請考生一定注意。
  同義替換原則,同小對話。
  特殊詞定位原則是指,在原文中特殊詞(如序數詞1st,極端詞most、most important、only,邏輯連線詞because、since、but、however,以及自問自答的回答部分)後面很可能出現正確答案資訊。
  例題:
  2009年6月六級考試第1道長對話:
  Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
  19. A. Current trends in economic development.
  B. Domestic issues of general social concern.
  C. Stories about Britain’s relations with other nations.
  D. Conflicts and compromises among political parties.
  20. A. Based on the poll of public opinions.
  B. By interviewing people who file complaints.
  C. By analyzing the domestic and international situation.
  D. Based on public expectations and editors’ judgment.
  21. A. Underlying rules of editing.
  B. Practical experience.
  C. Audience’s feedback.
  D. Professional qualifications.
  答案:BDB
  原文:
  Long conversation one
  W: You’re the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover?
  M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don’t cover international stories. We don’t cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern (19題答案,視聽基本一致原則)to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill.
  W: How do you choose the topic? (聽到choose the topic,同時看到20題選項by和based on,即可猜到20題是與這個問題關聯的)Do you choose one because it’s what the public wants to know about or because it’s what you feel the public ought to know about?
  M: I think it’s a mixture of both.(第20題答案,需要簡單概括歸納)Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn’t seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied.
  W: How do you know that you’ve got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time?
  M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years(21題答案,同義替換practical experience). You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that.
  Q19-21
  19. What kind of topics does Public Eye cover?
  20. How does Public Eye choose its topics?
  21. What factor plays an important role in running a successful program?

  2009年6月六級考試第3篇短文聽力第34題
  34.. A. There was a bomb scare.
  B. There was a terrorist attack.
  C. A fire alarm was set off by mistake.
  D. 50 pounds of explosives were found.
  答案:A
  原文:
  There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night(34題答案,視聽基本一致原則) during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard.
  Q34: Why did people have to leave the London store last night?
  例題:
  2002年12月六級考試第1篇短文聽力:
  Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
  11.A. To find ways to treat human wastes.
  B. To study the problems of local industries.
  C. To conduct a study on fishing in the Biramichi River.
  D. To investigate the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River.
  12.A. Serious pollution upstream.
  B. Lack of oxygen.
  C. Overgrowth of water plants.
  D. Low water level.
  13.A. They’ll be closed down.
  B. They’ll be moved to other places.
  C. They’re going to dismiss some of their employees.
  D. They have no money to build chemical treatment plants.
  14.A. Because the local fishing cooperative decided to reduce its catch.
  B. Because the local Chamber of Commerce tried preserve fishes.
  C. Because there were fewer fish in the river.
  D. Because over-fishing was prohibited.
  答案:CBDC
  原文:
  There are some serious problems in the Biramichi River. The local chamber of commerce, which represents the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year study on fishing in the Biramichi River(第11題答案,視聽基本一致原則) and write a report for them. This is my report:
  One of the major problems in the Biramichi River is that the level of oxygen in the water is too low.(第12題答案,視聽基本一致原則,注意major的定位作用) Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources: the factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves.(第13題答案,視聽基本一致原則)
  Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large number. The members of cooperative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch(第14題答案,視聽基本一致原則,注意because的定位作用), not because they were trying to preserve fishes.
  11.What was the speaker assigned to do in the past year?
  12.What is one of the problems in the Biramichi River?
  13.What does the passage tell us about the factories along the river?
  14.Why was the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River reduced according to the speaker?
  二,審題及利用選項推知答案
  1. 審題的作用:
  小對話——看選項,判斷題目型別,推知解題方法。
  長對話及短文——看選項,推斷問題,方便運用視聽基本一致原則且幫助定位。預測長對話或短文的主題。
  2.如何在完全聽不懂的情況下通過選項推知答案:
  一般的,當兩個選項意思相近或談論的話題相同時,其中一個可能是正確答案;當兩個選項通過同義轉換使得實際觀點相同時,兩個選項均不是答案;當兩個選項話題相同且意思相反時,其中一個可能是正確答案。
  例題:
  2009年6月六級考試第14題
  14. .A. She can help the man take care of the plants.
  B. Most plants grow better in direct sunlight.
  C. The plants need to be watered frequently.
  D. The plants should be placed in a shady spot.
  答案:D
  原文:
  14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldn’t know by looking at them that I water them every week.
  W: Maybe they don’t like direct sunlight. I had the same problem with some of my plants. And a little shade helps them immensely.
  Q: What does the woman imply?
  解析:只看選項,CD選項相近且主語都是The plants,話題相同;BD選項話題相同且意思相反,所以選D 。
  三,部分統計類規律
  小對話:
  六級小對話聽力場景裡的故事情節總趨於不完美性——比如,訂票一般訂不到,課程一般比較難,作業一般不好做,等等。當然,這只是一條統計規律,具體問題具體分析。
  另外的,一般情況下,小對話的第二句出現出題點的可能性大於第一句,也就是一般來講第二句比第一句重要,但也會有第一句出現出題點的可能。
  長對話及短文聽力:
  一般是順序出題原則,但當有問及全文主題等類題目出現時,有可能不按順序出題。
  一般首句或首句群會出題。
  六級聽力複合式聽寫答題方法點撥
  1, 審題。先看第一句,判斷出該篇的主題、感情基調及時態。再看單詞空格前後的單詞或短語,以此推知空格中所填單詞的詞性甚至詞義。此外還需注意句子空格前後是什麼單詞,以判斷句子的起止點。
  2, 速記。複合式聽寫在第一遍讀文章時,時間是比較不夠用的,所以如何鍛鍊自己速記能力很重要。如departmentàdept., difficultàdifft, three months laterà 3m>, eight days agoà <8d等。對於寫字慢的同學,句子不一定完全照搬,可以記下重點詞,之後憑印象和邏輯連詞成句。
  3, 注意單詞拼寫。一般常考的單詞是名詞和動詞。名詞需要注意單複數,動詞需要注意時態。句子中如果遇到不會拼寫的單詞,可用同義詞替換。
  例題:
  2009年6月六級考試複合式聽寫第36題
  English is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe, English is acquired as the mother ***36*** ________, in others it’s used as a second language.
  答案:tongue
  相信大部分同學只要這句話,就都可以猜出在空格里填入的單詞和前面mother構成的短語意思應該是“母語”,於是填入tongue。實際上這個空格是無需聽音即可填出的。
  例題:
  1999年6月六級考試複合式聽寫第S1題
  President Clinton later today joins ***S1*** ________presidents Ford, Garter and Bush at “the president’s summit for American’s future” aimed at recruiting one million volunteer tutors…
  答案: former
  同樣的,無需聽音,即可猜出S1空格應和presidents搭配意為“前總統”,於是填入former.
  六級聽力考前兩週複習方法
  1, 複習高頻詞彙、常見場景詞彙以及聽力多義詞彙。
  2, 總結真題中出現的固定搭配和習慣表達。
  3, 多聽真題,儘量做到每天一套真題。同學們一定會發現,真題的參考性是非常大的,反覆出一個考點在六級聽力中屢見不鮮。
  比如六級考試09年6月第13題,原文及選項均仿照02年6月第3題。
  再如六級考試09年6月第15題,原文及選項均仿照00年6月第9題。
  此外六級考試07年12月第11題,原文及選項均仿照00年1月第5題。
