星火:2008年12月英语四级考试预测试卷
Part ⅢListening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Gordon needs to find another place to live. The apartment he rents now has been sold to a new owner.
W: He’d better start looking right away. When all the students come back in a few weeks, he won’t find any near the campus.
Q: What does the woman suggest Gordon do?
A)。从选项可以猜测本题是对行为的考查,考查某人应该做某事,因此听录音时要侧重建议性的句型信息。男士说Gordon needs to find another place to live,可知此人想找房子,接着女士说He’d better start looking right away。had better do sth.是建议句型的提示信息,后面的内容即是答案所在。
12. W: Judy earned a lot of money over the summer as an advisor for that agency.
M: I don’t doubt it. What surprises me is that she is still working there, now that classes have started again.
Q: What does the man say about Judy?
B)。由选项预测本题考查男士的观点,听录音时应着重理解男士的话。从女士话中的earn money,over the summer可知对话涉及学校兼职工作,男士的回答中出现了What surprises me is that…,这是明显的提示信息,其后即是答案所在。
13. M: There is an article here in this magazine that might interest you. It’s about buying running shoes.
W: If it’s not chemistry and it’s not on the final exam, I can read it now.
Q: What is the woman probably doing now?
B)。由选项预测本题考查正在发生的动作。对话中男士在向女士推荐一篇文章,解题关键在于理解女士答话中的if条件句,“如果不是因为化学和期末考试,我现在就能读了”。那么真实情况也就是“我在准备考试,没时间读文章”。
14. W: Please turn down the television. I can’t hear anything my friend is saying on the phone.
M: Hurry up and finish your call. I don’t like standing so close. The light hurts my eyes.
Q: Why is the woman upset?
C)。由选项预测本题是对原因提问,并且是针对女士,听录音时应着重体会因果关系。对话中女士要求关闭电视,并直接说明了理由,can’t hear anything on the phone,与C)相符。至于男士的要求及其理由是本题的干扰项,注意辨别。
15. W: I was quite surprised when I heard William play the violin. From the way he talked I thought he was just starting his lessons.
M: Oh, that’s the way he always talks.
Q: What do we learn about William from this conversation?
C)。由选项预测本题是对William的行为进行判断。听力考试中考生不仅要辨别细节和事实,还要具备根据内涵、语气等进行推断的能力。本题女士话中的surprised暗示William的violin表现出人意料,但从From the way…his lessons可推出他说话谦虚,让女士原以为他刚开始学习violin。
16. W: It’s really a big problem to teach our children how to behave. When I get angry, I say things I don’t mean.
M: If you want your kids to be polite, you’ll have to be polite to them.
Q: What conclusion can be drawn from this conversation?
A)。由选项预测本题是对孩子的行为进行判断。从女士话中的children,teach,behave可知对话是在讨论孩子教育问题。本题关键在于理解男士的回答,“如果你希望孩子们有礼貌,你就必须对他们有礼貌”,强调父母的榜样力量,由此可归纳出Children learn by example的结论。
