(b)VOA和BBC新闻材料为学生所熟悉的一般新闻报道短评或讲话等.
(c) 听写材料中所出现的词语原则上不超出<<>大纲>规定的范围.
专四对话的常考题型:
1.主旨要义题:问对话讨论的是什么。
a. 尽量在脑海中描述出正进行的对话:对谁在进行对话,在哪里进行对话做一定的假设;
b. 尤其注意听一些关键词,被重复的词等等;
c. 对所听到的内容进行归纳,什么是中心思想;
d. 特别注意提问句,因为对话通常是一问一答,答的内容通常是围绕问题展开的。常见的就对话主题而提的问题有:
What is the main topic of the conversation?
What are the speakers mainly discussing?
What is the subject of this conversation?
What is the main idea of the conversation?
Which of the following best summarizes the conversation?
2.身份职业题:问说话者的身份、职业以及两者的关系等。
常见的就身份、职业及人物关系而提的问题有:
What is the person's probable vocation/job?
Who are the speakers?
What is the relationship between the two speakers? Who is t he woman/man speaking to?
常见的身份、职业及其相关的词语和句子:

3.地点方位问题:问对话发生的地点与场景。
School: assignment, lecture, paper, exam, campus, dorm, grades Bank: account, cash, check, deposit, savings
Hospital/Clinic: prescription, symptom, temperature, cold, fever , stomachache, pain, trouble Restaurant: menu, soup, drink, b everage, dish, beef, chicken, order, bill
Airport/Station: train, coach, car, timetable, take off, passe nger
Post Office: parcel, package, stamp, letter, airmail, regular mail, postage, rate
关于地点的提问形式通常为:
Where does/did the conversation probably take place?
Where are the man and woman speaking?
Where are the speakers now?
Where will the man/the woman go?
Where is the man/the woman?
4.时间数字计算题:对对话中出现的一些时间和数字进行提问,通常要经过一些简单的运算。
专四所涉及的数字有:
年代、时间、年龄、距离、速度、价格、数量等,要求回答对话或某事在什么时间发生;或某人在什么时间做某事;或价格、数量等。在做数字计算题时,考生除了应该听清具体的数字,还应该注意表示倍数、百分率等的量词,例
如:double, half, dozen, couple, thirty percent, three times , decade, century等等。同时,还要注意与数字有关的词,例如:
more, less, before, ago, later等等。此外还要注意文中较长的数字。此类问题的提问形式通常为:
When/ At what time did the conversation/dialogue take place? When is the man/ the woman going to...?
How much/How many...?
How long...?
How often...?
另外,当对时间进行提问时,也可能不用数字而用表示时间的短语来表示,考生应注意以下几点:
a. 根据表示时间的关联词来判断事件发生的时间,如:
before, after, when, while, then, until, later, right away, immediately, as soon as possible等。
b. 掌握年、月、日、星期等时间的表达方法。注意一些表示时间的词,
如quarter, a couple of days, twilight, eve, fortnight(two w eeks), dawn(daybreak), dusk(time just before it gets quite ba ck)等。同时注意英、美不同的时间表达方式,如:2:15读
作 a quarter past two(英)或two fifteen(美);2:30读
作half past two(英) two thirty(美)等。
c. 有时候,文中通过从句或短语表示时间,而不出现具体表示时间的数字或表示时间概念的单词,这种情况也要引起注意。例如:
"Aren't you glad the semester's over?"可以判断出时间为
"at the end of the semester"。
d. 从选择项看到时间和数字题型后,要集中精力获取时间和数字的信息。把听到的表示时间的数字顺序记下来,并理解各项数字之间的关系。这样做是因为文中有时不仅仅出现一个表示时间的数字。如果单靠听而不做任何记录,最后很容易混淆数字间的关系,无法正确回答问题。
e. 听的时候注意近音的干扰要能准确区分:-teen /′ti:n/和/ti/。它们的区别不仅在于一个是长元音/i:/,另一个是短元音/i/;而且/′ti:n/是重读音节,而/ti/不重读。
f. 时间推算也是对话题目中的考点,同学们要学会英语中表示时间提前或推后的方法,如:提前或提早5分
钟five minutes ahead of time; five minutes ahead of schedu le; five minutes early; early by five minutes.推迟或吃到5分钟five minutes later; five minutes behind schedule; late by five minutes; be delayed/postponed for five minutes.

41.Apology Helps It is never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you have judged roughly, you said unkind things, and pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were so sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? It is frightening, isn’t it? It is frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now. 42. Sleep Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired? There is no one answer that applies to every individual. It is possible to feel “tired” physically and still be unable to fall asleep, because while your body may be exhausted, you do not feel sleepy. It is not so easy to simply “turn off”. Lack of sleep complicates matters even more. Experts say adults need at

专四听写与听力理解上外12套模拟题答案6-12 Model Test 6 Authority and Creativity In many countries, authority is seldom questioned, either because it is highly respected, or because it is feared . Sometimes, too, because rank has been important in certain societies for a long time, people have been trained never to question those in authority. In other countries, including America, children are trained to question and search for answers. When a child asks a question, he will often be told to go to the library and find the answer for himself. By the time students reach the age of 14 or 15, they may be developing exciting new ideas in all fields of science and arts . To encourage such creativity, there are many national prizes offered to students every year for their scientific discoveries and artistic accomplishments. This interest in questioning and searching may be considered by some people as bad for young people's manners. This impression may be created when visitors notice young Americans asking questions and arguing with older people . 1-5 CABDB 6-10 DCBDC 11-15 DACBC 16-20 DCADC 21-25 CBDBA 26-30 CDBAC Model Test 7 Driving in the US When driving in the United States, it’s a good idea to have an internaitonal driver’s license if you don’t have a state license. Each of the 50 states has its own traffic laws. For example, in some states drivers can pump their own gas at “self-service islands”, while in others this is not allowed. Drivers are expected to know and understand the laws even if they don’t live in the state. Get information when you cross the border into a state at a tourist information center. There is a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour, or about 80 kilometers per hour. Americans usually start and stop slowly and are generally polite about letting cars enter busy streets. They usually stop for people who are walking and let them cross the street first. In many states, you may turn right after stopping at a corner, even if there a red light. 1-5 DBABB 6-10 CCBBD 11-15 CBACD 16-20 BAACD 21-25 BABBD 26-30 CDADB Model Test 8 Why Do People Smoke
Popular Pastime of the English People One of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with their non-working time. Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are f lowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them. But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other ’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English. 4. British and American Police Officers Real policemen, both in Britain and the ., hardly recognize any commonpoints between their lives and what they se on TV — if they ever get home in time. Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them. The first difference is that a policeman ’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what ’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes. Useful Words and Expressions: 1. think much of 重视,尊重 2. in court 在法庭上 3. criminal 罪犯,犯罪者 4. guilty 犯罪的,有罪的 5. Living Space How much living space does a person need What happens when his space needs are not met Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival These are interesting questions.

英语专业四级听写50篇 前言 听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15%的比重,是考试的重要组成部分。 说起听写,正在准备和已经参加过英语专业四级考试的同学会说: “我能明白听写的内容,可写的时候就是跟不上!”“短文大意我明白,可是有的语我不 会写。” 这只反映出了问题的两个方面。一是听写速度不够快。二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。但是,这些不是问题的全部。在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中,很容易发现学生失分的具体问题: (1)没听懂,没听好,听写速度跟不上,写出的内容断断续续不连贯,学生因此大量失分; (2)有的词汇没听懂,拼写不够准确,这导致听写失分; (3)时态错误导致失分; (4)单复数不准确导致失分; (5)没有注意断句或专有名词,句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分; (6)没有注意原文冠词的使用,书写时漏掉冠词导 致失分; (7)没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分; (8)没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。 上述问题的产生有的是缺乏训练造成的,如书写速度跟不上。有的则是语言基础较 差造成的,如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写 等则多是粗心大意造成的。 听写部分能提高吗? 当然能!而且提高的空间很大。 笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究,从一开始所带的教学班参加四级考试超过全国 院校平均通过率28.2个百分点,超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12.5个百分点开始,所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito%,平均成绩、优秀率始终名列 前茅。最近一次所带的教学班参加四级统考,又考出了很好的成绩,通过率超过全国院 校平均水平26石个百分点,超过全国专业外语院校13.6个百分点,而且在十几个平行 班中平均成绩是最高的,优秀人数也是最多的。在四级考试中,听写一项的成绩也不例外,每次均位居第一,本项目满分15分,所带班级平均成绩能够达到14分。 是不是学生基础很好?统计表明,和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别 优势。 教学经验表明,听写成功的关键是训练方法和体现训练方法的训练材料。 听写训练过程中无论是老师还是学生都有必要注意以下几点: 二.扭握淤轿肘虚度大纲要求第一遍用正常速

2000 年专四听力答案 PART I DICTATION What We Know About Language Many things about language are a mystery and will remain so. / However, we now do know something about it. / First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. / No human race anywhere on earth is so backward / that it has no language of its own at all. /Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. / There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, / but the languages they speak are by no means primitive. / In all the languages existing in the world today,/ there are complexities that must have been developed for years. / Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequate./ Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. /And finally, we know that language changes over time, / which is natural and normal if a language is to survive. / The language which remains unchanged is nothing but dead. PART Ⅱ LISTENING COMPREHENSION SECTION A CONVERSATIONS Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation. M:Jill,have you registered with the next semester? W:Not yet, there's still something that I'm not sure. Do you know if Professor Smith's economics 102 is still available to all undergraduate students? M:No, I don't think so. Last semester I tried to register in that course but all the other people told me not to. W:Why not? M:They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. W:Really? M:(I ) Jack tqld me that Professor Smith usually uses lots of formulas inside class. So you'd better make sure that you are extremely familiar with these formulas if you are seriously considering taking his course. W:What a shame I (2)My friends all told me that Professor Smith has lots of original ideas and he really can stimulate students to think. But I don't think I have the mathematical skills to keep up with the others. M:lf you want to take the course so much, why don't you register in a course in higher mathematics first? W. But I'm afraid that I will miss Professor Smith's course when I finish the mathematics course. M:Hey, I heard that Professor Smith would give the same course in the semester that starts next fall. ( 3 ) Why don't you take a year's higher mathematics and register in economics 102 the next fall? W:That sounds a good idea. I. [ B] 推断题。根据 ''They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. 可知,缺少高等数学知识会阻碍理解史密斯 教授的理论,所以学习经济学需要有高等数学知识,因而[ B]项伟正确答案。 2. [D] 细节题。文中提到 ''My friends all told me that Professor Smith has lots of original ideas and he really stimulate students to think. ”由此可知,史密斯教授有很很多新颖的观点,斌且
