众所周知在高考英语试卷中的第一个部分就是听力,占整个英语高考卷的1/5分值;由于听力长期以来是学生英语学习中的弱项,分值比例高,而且与语法、阅读等书面考试题型相比,听力考试具有极强的时间效应,听力过程不具备复制性,考生必须学会掌握一定的听力技巧,充分利用宝贵的每一分钟。
预测技巧
1.对话预测
在听取对话,尤其是Part A——Short Conversation时,考生可以按照下例wh-问题进行预测:
(1)Who are the two speakers?
(2)What is the possiblere lationship between them?
(3)When did they have the conversation?
(4)Where did the conversation take place?
(5)Why do they have the conversation?
(6)What did they plan to do?
2.语篇预测
在Part B,Longer Conversation的听力过程中,考生按下列问题展开预测:
(1)What is the topic of the passage?
(2)Who is the speaker?
(3)What facts did the speaker offer?
(4)What facts did the speaker fail tooffer?
3.依靠开篇句预测
英语听力的第一句话通常会透露整篇的主题,所以考生要善于抓住听力材料的首句信息。
例如:Americans have a popular saying "Time is money".
从这一句开篇句我们可以预测的信息范围:
(1)这是一篇关于时间的话题。
(2)涉及的对象是美国人。
4.根据打印在试卷上的听力试题内容预测。例如:
(A)Husband and wife.
(B)Waiter and customer.
(C)Student and teacher.
(D)Receptionist and guest.
根据听力试题,考生可以预测到该对话肯定是侧重于对话人的身份,所以在听力过程中抓住透露双方关系的关键词即可。
识别关键词的技巧
1.透露说话人身份的关键词
如果考生可以通过关键词很快判断对话者的关系和身份,将有助于考生有目的地集中注意力,并在脑海中搜索相关背景知识,进一步加深对听力材料的理解。
例如:I just can't believe you are apolice officer, Kay. I remember in high school, you always wanted to be a lawyer.
如果考生意识到该对话中的关键词为in high school,那么他马上可以意识到这是两个老同学之间的对话。
又例如:Good morning, ladies andgentlemen. Welcome to Universal Studio. I'd like to guide you all the way in the amazing park and share the wonderful moments with you.
这段话的关键词是 guide, park, 从中考生可以推断说话人是导游。
以下是常见的对话者关系:
Husband——wife
teacher——student
Boss——employee
waiter——customer
Doctor——patient
parents——kid
Classmates roommates
Shopassistant——customer
2.透露地点、场合的关键词
考生如果善于捕捉听力材料中的关于地点或场合(即语言环境)的关键词,也有助于他们判断听力材料的主题、说话人之间关系等等。如果对话中出现special price,那么对话很可能发生在商店;treatment,therapy等词可以透露出医患关系,以下是有关机场或者旅馆的关键词:
Check in入住登记,check out结账,porter搬,luggage行李,book aroom预定房间,double room双人房,passenger乘客,economy class经济舱,business class公务舱,runway跑道,passport护照,flight航班,stewardess乘务员hxw.red
