2017年12月英語四級聽力長對話4大出題處

　　1開頭處設題

　　如果將長對話比作一場戰(zhàn)爭，那么開頭處歷來是兵家必爭之地。并且長對話開頭部分一般會涉及談話主題。

　　例1： What is the woman doing?

　　A) Having her bicycle repaired. C) Lecturing on business management.

　　B) Conducting a market survey. D) Hosting an evening TV program.

　　原文： W: Good evening, and welcome to this week’s Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established a bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?

　　答案： D)。對話開始，女士說歡迎大家來到本周的“商業(yè)世界”，并介紹說這是一個面向商業(yè)人士的節(jié)目。由此可知，女士在主持節(jié)目，故答案為D)。

　　2干擾信息處設題

　　這種出題思路不難理解，長對話內(nèi)容多，信息量大，每一個細節(jié)都可能成為出題的地方。這類題目的四個選項如果不仔細區(qū)分很容易混淆。因此解答這類題目時，要充分預覽所給選項，并在聽音時適當做筆記。

　　例2： What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?

　　A) It has gradually given way to service industry.

　　B) It remains a major part of industrial activity.

　　C) It accounts for 80 percent of the region’s GDP.

　　D) It has a history as long as paper processing.

　　原文：W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.

　　M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?

　　W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant. But steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity, so it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?

　　M: Yes, thanks.

　　答案： B)。對話中女士在介紹本地區(qū)與鋼鐵相關(guān)的制造業(yè)時提到，這一產(chǎn)業(yè)現(xiàn)在占工業(yè)活動的44%，雖然地位有所下降，但仍然非常重要，換句話說，它仍然是該地區(qū)工業(yè)活動的重要組成部分，故答案為B)。

　　3信息集中處設題

　　談話雙方交談最熱烈的地方往往也是設題的熱點所在，并且因為其信息較集中，往往會多次設題。因此就要注意，除做好聽音前的預覽選項、聽音時的適當筆記外，還需要對整個對話內(nèi)容有較好的把握，在細節(jié)信息集中的地方認真聆聽。

　　例3： What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?

　　A) It is something inevitable. C) It takes patience to manage.

　　B) It is frustrating sometimes. D) It can be a good thing.

　　原文： W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high-stress factor?

　　M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used in the right way, it can actually be a positive thing.

　　答案： D)。問題中的關(guān)鍵信息提示詞是 element of stress，男士說他覺得壓力的確很大，甚至想過不干了，但他同時認為有壓力是個好事情，如果能夠正確對待壓力，把壓力處理好，還可以對工作有積極的作用。因此，D)為答案。

　　4對整個對話的理解設題

　　主要考查對長對話的整體理解。通常提問談話人主要交談了什么內(nèi)容，或某一方的觀點、態(tài)度或行動。這類題解題的根據(jù)主要有四點：一是根據(jù)對話的開頭判斷該對話的主要內(nèi)容;二是根據(jù)對話的結(jié)尾判斷對話的主題;三是根據(jù)對話中多次出現(xiàn)的主要信息做合理的判斷;四是通過預覽選項進行合理的推理排除。

　　例4： What problem are the speakers discussing?

　　A) The man has sent the order to the woman by mistake.

　　B) Some of the telephone systems don’t work properly.

　　C) Some of the packs do not contain any manuals.

　　D) The quality of the goods is not up to the standard.

　　原文： W: What can I do for you?

　　M: Well, unfortunately, there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday. It seems we’ve not received the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system.

　　W: Oh, dear, that’s bad news. I’m very sorry to hear that, and you don’t know how many packs are without manuals?

　　M: No, because we haven’t opened every pack. But in several of those that have been opened there are none. No manuals.

　　答案： C)。本題的關(guān)鍵詞是 manual，出現(xiàn)的問題并非在于產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量，而是缺少使用手冊，故C)為答案。

　　5時間數(shù)字處設題

　　對話中出現(xiàn)年代、時間、價格等數(shù)字信息的地方，也經(jīng)常是長對話設題的重點。但要注意，一般都是考查與數(shù)字相關(guān)的細節(jié)信息，而單純考查數(shù)字的題目并不常見。

　　例5： What does the woman say about her evening class?

　　A) It is scheduled on Thursday night. C) It takes place once a week.

　　B) It is supposed to last nine weeks. D) It usually starts at six.

　　原文： M: Can I ask you about your evening class? What class do you go to?

　　W: Car maintenance.

　　M: What night of the week is it on?

　　W: Wednesday night.

　　M: And how long does it last?

　　W: Well, it’s supposed to start at 6:00, but that’s a bit of problem because people have difficulty getting through the traffic. So we start at 6:30 and then it goes on until 9 o’clock.

　　答案： C)。男士希望了解女士夜校課程的一些情況，在了解到女士所學內(nèi)容為汽車保養(yǎng)后，男士問到上課時間，女士說是周三晚上。由此可知，女士所選的課程一周只上一次，故答案為C)。
