英语六级听力应试策略

W： Sorry about that but it's not really our fault. The contract does say that the hotel accommodation is not our responsibility
Q： Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
A) At the airport. 　B) In a travel agency.
C) In a hotel D) At home
此题对话中虽有地点名词出现(hotel)，但明显不是答案。本题考的是推理能力。根据hot
el等关键词，可推断对话的话题与旅行有关。而从W的话中的arrange, contract等词，可以
判断出这是一家旅行社(B)。本题说明，在听对话时，要对关键词特别注意，但又不能认
为关键词就是答案。
【例3】
M：Now, Miss, do you feel all right now? What happened?
W：Yes, I'm fine now. I was just at the motorway I was driving along the main road when suddenly right before the crossroads I met the car came out at the side street I didn't see him until he hit me.
Q： Where was the car before it hit the woman?
A)In the side street. B) At the crossroads.
C) On the main road D) On the motorway.
本题属于较为特殊的地点题，考生不仅要听懂对话发生的地点，而且要能理解I met the car came out at the side street这句语法上有错误的话并推断出在汽车撞上W之前，它正在the side street (A)中。其他选项在对话中都曾出现过，但它们都是描述W本人所在的位置，而非肇事车辆所处的位置。
【例4】
W： I just stopped by at your office in the bank. They told me that you had quit where are you working now?
M： I am working for a lawyer now.The pay is better and the work is much more interesting.
Q： Where did the man work before?
A) In a court. B) On the farm.
C) In a bank. D) In a shop.
答案C)。此题的关键词bank在对话中出现了两次，考生不但可以从女士的话(...at your o
ffice in the bank,They told me that you had quit：),也可以从男士的回答(The pay is better than in the bank...)中得出本题的正确答案。而a lawyer 仅仅是一个难度不大的干扰词，考生只要听懂now这一词就可以排除，B)D)两项与本题对话明显无关。
3)观点、态度与反应题型
观点、态度与反应题是指对话双方对某事或某人的观点和看法。有时这种观点和看法在对话
中直接表达出来了，但绝大部分情况需要考生从说话人的语调、语气以及所使用的词汇、短
语等方面来进行推理和判别的。这种题型的卷面特征通常表现在以下两个方面：
(1) 选项一般为完整的句子。
(2) 某一选项可能含有think, should, agree (disagree), share ... opinion , like (dislike), will等词。
其提问方式有：
What did the woman/man say about ...?
What's the woman's/man's attitude towards / opinion about ...?
What does the woman/man mean/imply (by saying ...)?
What did the woman/man think of ...?
What does the man think the woman should do?
等等。这类题由于说话者表达观点和看法的方式比较含蓄，不能为选择书面答案提供直接的
信息，而是需要考生听懂录音并利用逻辑思维来进行推理和判断，因此往往被认为较难(在
托福听力中这种题居多，在近几年的六级考试题中亦多见)。为此，从卷面的角度考虑，我
们建议采取以下策略：
(1)凡在选项中出现agree (disagree), share ... opinion , like (dislike)之类的词语的题是判断第二个说话的人是否同意第一个说话的人的观点的，在听的时候要重点注意第二个人所说的话，尤其是言外之意 。平时还要掌握表示赞同和反对的习语，如：
You can say it again.
I can't agree more.
I'm not sure...
I doubt ...
I'd rather ...
(2)选项中出现should, ought to等词语的题，其答案多出现在第一个人说的话里，但是要随机应变。例如，第一个人是女声，如果选项都是He should / the man should ...的话，则重点在女声的话中；而如果选项中出现的是She should ...的话，重点又在男声的话中了。
(3)对于选项中出现mean, think, will (表意愿)的题，通常有两种情况，其一是说话人用了虚拟语气来表达其愿望；其二是找一个借口(用but来引导)来拒绝对方的邀请、建议等。因此平时要对虚拟语气非常熟悉，考试时才能听得出来。
此外，对话者的语调也可提供重要的信息，但要求较高，此处不予推荐，读者如有兴趣，可
参考有关书籍。
【例1】
M： Isn't that a new brand of typewriter you are working at?
W： Oh, Bill This isn't the first time you've asked me about it.
Q： What does the woman imply?
A) The man is a forgetful person.
B) The typewriter is not new.
C) The man can have the typewriter later.
D) The man misunderstood her.
答案为A)。本题是一道间接回答的典型题。W并没有直接回答M的话，而是说：你已问了多次了。言外之意，是说M太健忘。捕捉言外之意是一项要求较高、难度较大的能力，它不仅要求具有扎实的语言基础与听的能力，还需要经过反复实践才能掌握。
