高考英语听力答题技巧总结(2016用)

高考英语听力答题技巧总结

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。

一、预测技巧

1).根据问题预测对话或短文的内容及考查的重点及听时要关注的重点

EG1:听第6段材料,回答第6、7题。(2015全国)

6. How long did Michael stay in China?

A. Five days. B. One week. C. Two weeks.

7. Where did Michael go last year?

A. Russia. B. Norway. C. India.

预测:1、第六题重点听的是Michael待在中国的长短, 第七题则是地点

2、对话内容推测:A:对话关于Michael到中国旅行(重点注意时间) B:Michael去年也去某地旅行了(重点关注地点)

2).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。 EG2: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。

EG3:Look at this picture. It’s the London Tea Trade Centre. (2015全国卷-10首句) 从这一句开篇句我们可以预测的信息范围:

(1)这是一篇谈论图画的短文 (2)涉及的对象是伦敦的茶贸易中心

再看试题20: What is the speaker talking about?

A. The life of tea tasters. B. Afternoon tea in Britain. C. The London Tea Trade Centre.

3).根据打印在试卷上的听力试题内容预测。

EG4:(A)Husband and wife. (B)Waiter and customer. (C)Student and teacher

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。

EG5: Who suggests a price for each tea?

A. Tea tasters. B. Tea exporters. C. Tea companies. 根据常识推测答案为A EG6:听第9段材料,回答第13至16题(2015全国卷)。

13. What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

A. Salesperson and customer. B. Homeowner and cleaner. C. Husband and wife.

14. What kind of apartment do the speakers prefer?

A. One with two bedrooms. B. One without furniture. C. One near a market.

15. How much rent should one pay for the one-bedroom apartment?

A. $350. B. $400. C. $415.

16. Where is the apartment the speakers would like to see?

A. On Lake Street. B. On Market Street. C. On South Street.

根据15题可知谈话的内容是关于租房的话题,根据16题可知谈话的两个人都要去看房,因此可以推测13题选C

二、 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。

EG7:I just can’t believe you are a police 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。

EG:Good morning, ladies and gentlemen . 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

doctor——patient parents——kid waiter——customer classmates roommates shop assistant——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,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 a room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

3).捕捉数字

许多听力材料中涉及数字,例如年代、日期、价格、数量等等,并且会以基数词、序数词、分数、小数、百分比等形式出现,这就要求考生辨别各种形式的数字,还要熟悉数字之间的关系。例如:

减价:20% off,special offer,special price,25% discount,sale

原价:regular price,normal price

增长:10% increase in„1/3 climb in„„ 下降:23% fall in„5.5% decrease in„【2016高考英语听力

三 、听力速记技巧

高考听力材料的不可重复性,单纯靠记忆难度较大,有些可以边听变得出答案,立即标出答案,但有些需推理或计算,因此需要适当的做信息记录。如果考生能够培养一定的速记技巧,有助于保持部分听力内容,帮助记忆。毕竟高考的长篇对话时间并不算太长,高三考生只要进行初级的入门速记锻炼,不必把听到的所有内容写下来,只要捕捉一些关键性问题即可,比如时间、地点、数字以及相关信息等等。考生可以尝试以下技巧:

1).运用速记符号 例如:↑up↓down←left→right=equal

2).发明并运用字母的缩写形式

考生可以在平时训练时,本着便于记忆、快速、容易联想的原则,发明一些只需自己明白的字母搭配来表示相应的信息。例如:

Ex——expensive lg——large eq——earthquake ys——yesterday

通过运用这些字母和符号,帮助考生储存信息,帮助回忆。

四、时间运用技巧

1)充分利用试卷刚发下来,听力还未播放的宝贵时间,阅读听力试题,并用铅笔在听力试题上画出重点(听力的试题部分考生可以在上面涂写,但是答卷部分禁止)。此刻考生可以运用预测技巧,对听力内容进行有的放矢的预测。 同时利用好给出的看题时间和答题时间。

2)建议考生在听力播放过程中在试题卷上答题,而不是直接写在电脑答卷上,以节约时间。

3)切记对于没有听清的试题(尤其是PartA——short conversation)采取及时放弃的原则,即随便选择一个选项,把注意力集中到下一题,一定要抢在下一题播放之前,看完下一题的全部4个选项,千万不可纠缠于已播放好的前一题。

五、 词汇

许多考生可能有这样的经历:听力过程中整个句子中仅仅因为一个单词未理解,使得考生对整个句子甚至语篇的理解产生误解,所以高三考生需要掌握尽可能大的词汇量,以备不时之需。

听力是一个不断实践的学习过程,对语言综合运用能力提出很高的要求,高三考生须本着循序渐进、持之以恒的训练方针,在语法、词汇、听力技巧、心理素质等各个方面进行操练。

M: Then you may see the films a bit later than other people.

I. Listening Comprehension

Section A

Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

1. M: So, what do you think of the new shopping center?

W: I went there yesterday and it is not as good as I expected.

Q: What does the woman think of the shopping center?

2. M: How long will we stay at the cam?

W: We’ll stay there for one night. That is, we will leave the camp on August 7th.

Q: When will the speakers arrive at the camp?

3. M: We are famous for our barbecue pork with rice. Would you like to have some?

W: Er... I don’t think so. I am not a big fan of Barbarella pork.

Q: Who is most probably the man?

4. M: Can I stay here for just another minute? I really need to look up something on Shakespeare. W: Sorry. Everyone is supposed to put books back to the shelves when the closing bell is sounded. Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?

5. M: Wasn’t the show any good?

W: The show is good, but I could hardly see the stage from my seat.

Q: What does the woman mean?

6. M: Do you have your break, lunch and dinner at the cafeteria?

W: I have lunch and dinner there, but I always skip breakfast.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

7. M: Are you going to put the seeds of tomatoes into the soil, too?

W: I think there is plenty of space to the right of the cucumbers.

Q: What are the speakers most probably doing?

8. M: The Morson Company turned down my application. I don’t how I can do without a job.

W: Well, don’t take it so hard. Something else will turn up

Q: What does the woman mean?

9. W: Good morning! This is Clean Air hot line. May I help you?

M: Yes, I’d like to report a smoking vehicle running on King Street.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

10. W: I think the film is good because it is scary. And the special effects are amazing.

M: It would deserve an award if it weren’t for its last part.

Q: What does the man think of the film?

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.

Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more.

Questions:

11. According to the fifty-two money challenges, how much should be put away in week 3?

12. What does the speaker suggest people do with their monthly income?

13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Life in the town of Tivaton is made up of both good news and bad news. At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new ice-cream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get ice-cream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions:

14. For the local family in need of help, what did they get?

15. According to the speaker, what should the school do?

16. What does the speaker think of the town of Tivaton?

Section C

Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.

M: Shirley, I am working on a class diary for next week. Would you please give me the information?

W: Sure. First it’s the dead line for after class activity application. The dead line is next Monday, June 14th. M: Monday, June 14th.

W: Yes. Then on Wednesday, that’s the 16th, all classmates have to hand in three student photos.

M: Three student photos.

W: OK. Next is the basketball club meeting. It’s on the 17th.

M: The basketball club meeting is on the 17th. And where will they meet?

W: At the stadium.

M: And what time?

W: From 12:45 to 1:30 p.m.

M: Right.

W: Then the last thing is about filling in a form with up-to-date personal data. Our class needs to go to the computer room during the morning break on the 18th.

M: OK. The morning break on the 18th.

W: Oh, wait a minute! I made a mistake. It should be during the lunch break.

M: Got it.

W: Thank you!

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

M: The guest for today is Sue Walter. She is a famous judge in court. Good morning Sue!

W: Good morning, Shon. I am glad to be here today.

M: Your new book, My World, will be published next week. Would you please tell us the theme of your book? W: Well, I want people who have challenges in their lives to believe that despite their difficulties they can still accomplish a lot. One of my suggestions is to always ask for help.

M: Right. What’s the best part of being a judge in court?

W: Having a voice in the decision-making process. There is something extremely satisfying about that. M: You’ve been on the children’s program. So how do you explain your job to kids?

W: I give a very simplified version of what a judge does. I talk to them about how the law helps people solve their problems.

M: What’s your idea of happiness?

W: I think it would be satisfaction of enjoying things with others, meaning when you give it to others, whether it’s time, attention, a gift, anything, just those moments of sharing.

M: Thank you, Sue.

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.

Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more.

Questions:

11. According to the fifty-two money challenges, how much should be put away in week 3?

12. What does the speaker suggest people do with their monthly income?

13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Life in the town of Tivaton is made up of both good news and bad news. At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new ice-cream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get ice-cream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions:

14. For the local family in need of help, what did they get?

15. According to the speaker, what should the school do?

16. What does the speaker think of the town of Tivaton?

M: Your new book, My World, will be published next week. Would you please tell us the theme of your book? W: Well, I want people who have challenges in their lives to believe that despite their difficulties they can still accomplish a lot. One of my suggestions is to always ask for help.

M: Right. What’s the best part of being a judge in court?

W: Having a voice in the decision-making process. There is something extremely satisfying about that. M: You’ve been on the children’s program. So how do you explain your job to kids?

W: I give a very simplified version of what a judge does. I talk to them about how the law helps people solve their problems.

M: What’s your idea of happiness?

W: I think it would be satisfaction of enjoying things with others, meaning when you give it to others, whether it’s time, attention, a gift, anything, just those moments of sharing.

M: Thank you, Sue.
