In January 1989, the Community of European Railways presented their proposal for a high speed pan-European train network extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to Poland by the year 2020. (第26題考點(diǎn)。注意train network在選項(xiàng)中反映)If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in Europe. Journeys between major cities will take half the time they take today.(第27題考點(diǎn),注意half在選項(xiàng)中的反映)Brussels will be only one and a half hours from Paris. The quickest way to get from Paris to Frankfurt, from Barcelona to Madrid will be by train, not plane. When the network is complete, it will integrate three types of railway line: totally new high speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, upgraded lines which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225 kilometers per hour, and existing lines for local connections and distribution of freight. If businesspeople can choose between a three-hour train journey from city-center to city-center and a one-hour flight, they’ll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane any more. If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to-and-from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first.(第28題考點(diǎn)。說明短途的火車的優(yōu)勢(shì)大于短途的飛機(jī)。請(qǐng)注意此處strike的含義為“罷工”)Since France introduced thefirst 260-kilometer-per-hour high speed train service between Paris and Lyons in 1981(第29題考點(diǎn)。), the trains have achieved higher and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high speed trains. If people accept the Community of European Railways’ plan, the 21 century will be the new age of the train.
26.What is the proposal presented by the Community of European Railways?
27.What will happen when the proposal becomes a reality?
28.Why will business people prefer a three-hour train journey to a one-hour flight?
29.When did France introduce the first high speed train service?

分析:
這是一篇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的六級(jí)短文聽力,詞匯、主題、深度都要比四級(jí)高,但是破題方法卻如出一轍。
第26題:
本題是首題,所以當(dāng)然對(duì)應(yīng)原文的首句。除了視聽一致的使用外,原文中的high speed pan-European train network(泛歐洲高速火車網(wǎng))被選項(xiàng)替換成了express train network throughout Europe(遍布?xì)W洲的特快列車網(wǎng)絡(luò))。這是同義替換原則的使用。Express在其他聽力題目中還有快遞的含義,請(qǐng)注意。
第28題:
本題目考察的是考生真正的聽力理解能力。原文:“If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to-and-from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first.”(如果你計(jì)算航班飛行時(shí)間、辦理登機(jī)手續(xù)時(shí)間、往返機(jī)場(chǎng)時(shí)間,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)和坐火車比沒有任何區(qū)別。如果因?yàn)樘鞖?、空中航班過多或罷工而導(dǎo)致飛機(jī)遲到,火車乘客會(huì)首先到達(dá)目的地。)這個(gè)長(zhǎng)難句的意思就是說明:短途來講,火車更有優(yōu)勢(shì),更快。而選項(xiàng)考的就是這個(gè)分析能力。
第29題:
首先,請(qǐng)注意序數(shù)詞系列,諸如“first、last、finally”等,向來都是聽力考試中的關(guān)鍵詞匯。它們體現(xiàn)的是事實(shí)的順序,屬于一種強(qiáng)調(diào)的用法。全文的年代詞匯只有:1989、2020和1981,又由于這已經(jīng)是最后一道題目了,所以綜合使用順序出題原則,當(dāng)然對(duì)應(yīng)最后出現(xiàn)的1981年。
關(guān)于六級(jí)復(fù)合式聽寫
六級(jí)聽寫概況:
聽寫共考十一題。八個(gè)單詞和三個(gè)句子。每個(gè)單詞得分為0.5%,每個(gè)句子得分2%。聽寫一共播讀三遍,其中第二遍時(shí),每個(gè)句子讀完,會(huì)出現(xiàn)一分鐘的停頓。
六級(jí)聽寫能力概述:
聽寫,顧名思義,既聽又寫,它滲透在各種形式的語言活動(dòng)中,是最常用到的基本功之一。聽寫測(cè)試要求考生把聽到的內(nèi)容準(zhǔn)確無誤地以筆頭的形式表達(dá)出來,雖無需考生自己遣詞造句,但由于牽涉到語言(聽力﹑單詞拼寫﹑篇章結(jié)構(gòu)等)與非語言能力(如記憶力﹑速記等)提高聽寫能力,關(guān)鍵就是加強(qiáng)各種相關(guān)知識(shí)和技能的訓(xùn)練。
1. 語言知識(shí)方面:
首先,必須提高聽力水平,熟悉英、美國(guó)家人士的說話發(fā)音的不同方式,語音語調(diào);其次對(duì)于大綱中所列單詞和短語,不僅要認(rèn)知,而且會(huì)熟練拼寫;這一點(diǎn)相當(dāng)重要,很多同學(xué)在正式考試當(dāng)中聽出來了單詞并準(zhǔn)確定位出來意思,但是由于拼寫不過關(guān)導(dǎo)致遺憾丟分。另外,即便拼寫正確,又因?yàn)閱螐?fù)數(shù)、時(shí)態(tài)和大小寫而丟分也很多見。
2. 非語言能力方面:
在做聽寫填空的時(shí)候,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)有意識(shí)的加強(qiáng)我們的記憶和速記能力。有時(shí)候,同學(xué)們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn):聽的內(nèi)容都懂了,但由于記憶的問題或時(shí)間的問題沒寫下來,這是因?yàn)槎虝r(shí)記憶力(short term memory)不夠。因此在平時(shí)的訓(xùn)練中,應(yīng)當(dāng)有意識(shí)地不是以單個(gè)的詞而是以意群為單位進(jìn)行理解和記憶。第一遍先試圖聽明白注意意思,第二遍寫出重點(diǎn)單詞或者句子,第三遍完成整個(gè)練習(xí)。在短暫的停頓空間,如果時(shí)間來不及,可以選用自己熟悉的縮寫形式或符號(hào)記錄,等以后有時(shí)間時(shí)再?gòu)?fù)原。這種速記能力也要靠平時(shí)的多練,才能獲得。
六級(jí)聽寫的步驟:
1.通過卷面文字捕捉信息,找出線索、了解大意
“復(fù)合式聽寫”材料多為說明文(Exposition),這一體裁的文章主題突出,條理分明,層次清楚、語言簡(jiǎn)潔、邏輯性強(qiáng)。文章的開頭或段首多半有主題句(topicsentence),之后的段、句進(jìn)一步具體擴(kuò)展、說明或論證主題句。仔細(xì)看題之后,經(jīng)常能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)空缺處的詞匯能夠通過邏輯能力被猜出具體內(nèi)容,至少也可以知道詞性。
2,聽寫結(jié)合,雙管齊下
根據(jù)“復(fù)合式聽寫”新題型通知說明,第一遍是全文朗讀,要求考生注意聽懂全文內(nèi)容。由于聽音前考生已測(cè)覽了卷面文字,對(duì)聽力材料有了大致的了解,因此聽讀第一遍時(shí),考生可以適當(dāng)?shù)靥顚懶﹩卧~和做些筆記,聽為主,記為輔。第二遍時(shí)使出全力。最后一遍自習(xí)彌補(bǔ)。在寫句子時(shí),不要慌張,可以在每一遍時(shí)把句子的不同部分寫出,采取各個(gè)擊破的策略。
3.提高記錄的效率
首先,可使用縮略語。例如usually在記錄時(shí)只寫usu。Country 記錄為ctr等。其次,重點(diǎn)把握名詞和動(dòng)詞,修飾成分(形容詞和副詞)沒有寫出,一般扣分不多。
4.書面表達(dá)內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)
要點(diǎn)盡可能用完整的簡(jiǎn)單句表達(dá),不宜用短語,句式也不宜過于復(fù)雜。盡量省去語句中可有可無的修飾成份??偠灾?,考生應(yīng)用有限的詞語簡(jiǎn)潔明了地概括出所聽內(nèi)容的全部要點(diǎn),使內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)和語言表達(dá)達(dá)到有機(jī)的完美統(tǒng)一。
5.檢查、核對(duì)內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)
完成后,一定勿忘檢查:?jiǎn)螐?fù)數(shù)、時(shí)態(tài)、大小寫以及標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。
