四級聽力長對話十大聽前預測技巧
下面是小編整理的,希望對大家有幫助。
一、各題主題揭示對話主題
將各題所考查的主題內容結合在一起,往往可得出整篇對話的主題。如果某一題目是考查對話主題,其中的一個選項明顯能夠概括其他各題選項的內容,那麼該選項很可能為答案。
【例1】***710分樣卷Conversation One***
【預覽選項】
19. [A]To interview a few job applicants.
[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.
[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.
[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.
20. [A]A hard working ambitious young man.
[B]A young man good at managing his time.

[D]A young man with his own idea of what is important.
21. [A]Not clearly specified.

[D]Apparently sexist
【聽前預測】
預覽三道題各選項,由19題中的 interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager,apply for a job 等詞語可以推測對話與刊登招聘廣告或應聘工作有關。而20題中 hardworking,ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea 等詞語則表明對話中還涉及到對所招聘人員的要求。
二、選項均以動詞的某種形式開頭
含有這類選項的問題為考查“行為活動”型別。根據動詞的不同形式,問題考查的重點也可能不同。
選項均以動詞原形開頭,問題大多是關於建議某人做某事,有時也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。
選項均為動名詞,問題大多是關於正在進行的動作或者計劃打算。
選項為不定式,問題很可能是關於做某事的目的,或是計劃、承諾或要求做某事。

[A] File a lawsuit against the man.
[B] Ask the man for compensation.
[C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.
[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.
【聽前預測】
選項均為動詞原形,故本題應該是考查某人的行為活動。四個選項均是針對男士的行為,故本題很可能是關於某人與男士發生爭吵或衝突時所採取的應對措施。

四、選項中含有表示評論或感受的動詞
如果選項中含有think, like, dislike, enjoy, agree, disagree, mind等一類的詞語,聽力材料或問題很可能是關於對某人或某事物的評價或感受。
四個選項中如均含有表示評論或感受的詞,則表示問題是關於對人或事物的評價或感受;如其中只有個別選項含有表示評論或感受的詞,則表示聽力材料中很可能涉及到對人或事物的評價或感受,問題內容則不一定會涉及。
