　　六级听力选择题目答题方法点拨：

　　一、基本解题技巧

　　小对话解题技巧之一：视听反向原则、同义替换原则。

　　视听反向原则是指，在小对话的题目中，看似明显被读到的选项反而更容易是错的。但须注意，当小对话原文本身较长或生僻词较多时，该原则可能会出现特例。

　　同义替换是指，若某一选项中的单词或短语是听力原文中单词或短语的同义形式，则该选项容易为正确。

　　例题：

　　A) The man failed to keep his promise.

　　B) The woman has a poor memory.

　　C) The man borrowed the book from the library.

　　D) The woman does not need the book any more.

　　原文：

　　M: Oh, Im so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library.

　　W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I wont need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK?

　　Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

　　解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为A.其中，另外三项的大部分单词或短语都被读到。

　　例题：

　　A) The printing on her T-shirt has faded.

　　B) It is not in fashion to have a logo on a T-shirt.

　　C) She regrets having bought one of the T-shirts.

　　D) It is not a good idea to buy the T-shirt.

　　原文：

　　M: I think Ill get one of those new T-shirts, you know, with the schools logo on both the front and back.

　　W: Youll regret it. They are expensive, and Ive heard the printing fades easily when you wash them.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　解析：准确答案D。其中A和C中都有若干单词被读中，听到的慎选。

　　例题：

　　A) The speakers will dress formally for the concert.

　　B) The man will return home before going to the concert.

　　C) It is the first time the speakers are attending a concert.

　　D) The woman is going to buy a new dress for the concert.

　　原文：

　　M: Honey, Ill be going straight to the theatre from work this evening. Could you bring my suit and tie along?

　　W: Sure, its the first performance of the State Symphony Orchestra in our city, so suit and tie is a must.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　解析：准确答案A。容易错选C，听到的慎选。正确答案A 中，dress formally和suit and tie同义替换。

　　小对话解题技巧之二：动作题的处理方式。

　　选项均以动词原形或to do形式开头的题目为动作题。放音时，注意抓情态动词和建议/请求句型，其中包含的主要动作即为该题答案。

　　例题：

　　A) Leave Daisy alone for the time being.

　　B) Go see Daisy immediately.

　　C) Apologize to Daisy again by phone.

　　D) Buy Daisy a new notebook.

　　原文：

　　M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to again?

　　W: Well, if I were you, Id let her cool off a few days before I approach her.

　　Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

　　解析：准确答案A。这是一道动作题，原文中出现建议句型if I were you, Id所以答案即是let her cool off a few days before I approach her的同义替换形式。此题另一难点在于A选项中短语for the time being意思是目前暂时。

　　长对话和短文听力解题技巧：视听基本一致原则、同义替换原则、特殊词定位原则

　　视听基本一致的含义是指，若听到的原文和看到的选项基本一致，则选项容易为正确。这一点和小对话的原则恰恰相反，请考生一定注意。

　　同义替换原则，同小对话。

　　特殊词定位原则是指，在原文中特殊词后面很可能出现正确答案信息。

　　例题：

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　原文：

　　Conversation 1

　　M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.

　　W: So you are not sure which to go for?

　　M: Thats it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a years contract, and thats a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.

　　W: I see. So its much less secure. But you dont need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.

　　M: Thats true.

　　W: What about the salaries?

　　M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. Ill be getting the equivalent of about ￡22,000 a year there, but only ￡20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic Id have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administrations, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.

　　W: Mmm

　　M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of childrens classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.

　　W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And Id imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.

　　M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, Id be stuck in the school all day.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard:

　　Good evening and welcome to tonights edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean, actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Murray is the author of a new biography of Dean.

　　W: Good evening, Edward.

　　M: Hello Tina.

　　W: Edward, tell us what you know about Deans early life.

　　M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasnt there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmys father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.

　　W: So how did he get into acting?

　　M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting.

　　W: Then when did his movie career really start?

　　M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one, Rebel Without a Cause, that was about teenagers who felt like they didnt fit into society.

　　W: So how many more movies did he make?

　　M: Just one more, then he died in that car crash in California in 1955.

　　W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies! So what made him the legend he still is today?

　　M: Well I guess his looks, his acting ability, his short life, and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people saw him as a symbol of American youths.

　　Q22 What is the woman doing?

　　Q23 Why did James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young?

　　Q24 What does the man say James Dean did at college in California?

　　Q25 What do we know about James Dean from the conversation?

　　Passage 2

　　Juan Louis, a junior geology major, decided to give an informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience and analysis he learned that only 2 or 3 of his classmates knew much of anything about geology. Juan realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary level and with a minimum of scientific language. As he prepared the speech, Juan kept asking himself, How can I make this clear and meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles? Since he was speaking in the Midwest, he decided to begin by noting that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811. If such an earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would flatten most of the cities in the Mississippi valley. That, he figured, should get his classmates attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Juan dealt only with the basic mechanics of the earthquakes, carefully avoid technical terms. He also prepared visual aids, diagramming photo line, so his classmates wouldnt get confused. To be absolutely safe, Juan asked his roommate, who was not a geology major, to listen to the speech. Stop me, he said, any time I say something you dont understand. Juans roommate stopped him four times. And at each spot, Juan worked out a way to make his point more clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and perfectly understandable to his audience.

　　Questions 30 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　Q30 What did Juan Louis learn from the analysis of his audience?

　　Q31 How did Juan Louis start his speech?

　　二、审题及利用选项推知答案

　　1、审题的作用：

　　小对话看选项，判断题目类型，推知解题方法。

　　长对话及短文看选项，推断问题，方便运用视听基本一致原则且帮助定位。预测长对话或短文的主题。

　　2、如何在完全听不懂的情况下通过选项推知答案：

　　一般的，当两个选项意思相近或谈论的话题相同时，其中一个可能是正确答案;当两个选项通过同义转换使得实际观点相同时，两个选项均不是答案;当两个选项话题相同且意思相反时，其中一个可能是正确答案。

　　例题：

　　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.

　　W: Maybe they dont 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：只看选项，CD选项相近且主语都是The plants，话题相同;BD选项话题相同且意思相反，所以选D 。
