從考試的角度來說,六級聽力小對話中存在著大量的美式思維跟規(guī)律,在考生實力不足以把握每一個信息點的情況下,適當?shù)倪\用美式思維和一些規(guī)律,可以起到事半功倍的作用,但是思路必須緊跟主題,即要從學生的角度出發(fā)多想想會出現(xiàn)什么樣的情況,尤其是沿著國外學生的思維去想想。才能得到解題的正確思路。以下是新東方在線的老師給大家總結的幾條聽力常見的特色規(guī)律,并都從歷年考試真題中提取。
1. 老師要求嚴格
在聽力小對話的學校上課場景里面經(jīng)常會涉及到對于老師的對話,無外乎對于上課的評價,對于講座的評價,對老師要求的評價這么幾種。而在聽力里面出現(xiàn)的老師總是要求很嚴格的,不僅僅對學生,對自己也是要求嚴格,主要體現(xiàn)在:對學生要求嚴格,上課準時,講座很精彩等,但有時候也會有學生說課程很難,講座聽不懂等情況。
典型題目
Test 18 no 9
M: Erh-erh… Looks like I'm going to be a little late for class. I hope Pro. Clark doesn't start on time today。
W: Are you kidding? You can set your watch by the time he starts his class。
Q: What can be inferred about Pro. Clark?
A) He wants his students to be on time for class。
B) He doesn't allow his students to tell jokes in class。
C) He is always punctual for his class。
D) He rarely notices which students are late。
解析:這是一個典型的老師要求嚴場景,在對話中男生說:可能我得遲到一會兒了,我希望Clark教授今天沒有準點開課。女生回答:開玩笑吧,他每次開始上課你都可以對你的表。因此答案選
2. 作業(yè)又難又做不完
毫不夸張的說,作業(yè)是每一個學生的噩夢所在,不論對于中國學生還是國外學生,因此聽力小對話中往往出現(xiàn)大量學生對于作業(yè)的抱怨,而無一例外的總是抱怨作業(yè)多,做不完;作業(yè)難,不會做;做作業(yè)的時候問題很多,有時候需要兩人達成一致等。需要了解的是作業(yè)包括各種各樣的assignment 和 homework 以及reading list。
典型題目
Test 20 no 8
M: Mr. Smith, our history professor, announced we would be doing two papers and three exams this semester. I wonder how I'm going to pull through when two other courses have similar requirements。
W: Well, can't you drop one course and pick it up next semester?
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
A) Do the assignments towards the end of the semester。
B) Quit the history course and choose another one instead。
C) Drop one course and do it next semester。
D) Take courses with a lighter workload。
解析:典型的作業(yè)繁重規(guī)律,對話中男生抱怨道我們的歷史老師Smith宣稱這個學期我們要搞定兩份論文三次考試??墒莿e的課程也有類似的要求,我都不知道我該怎么去應付了。女生建議道那你為什么不退一門課呢?下學期再選也不遲啊。因此答案選《C》。除了在此需要把握pick up的第五種意思:學習之外,還有兩個考點,分別為短語pull through 以及小詞drop,對它們的解析請參考相應詞條。同時,此題也暗含有女生責怪男生不應該選課太多的語氣??筛鶕?jù)規(guī)律迅速作出。
3、考試總是難
就像作業(yè)一樣,考試也是學生往往無奈的話題之一,學生會喜歡考試嗎?毫無疑問不喜歡,考試會容易嗎?問問學生自己就知道了,總是覺得考試很棘手。通過都往往很困難,更別提得高分了。
典型題目:
Test 10 no 3
W: How did you do on the maths exam, John?
M: I barely made it. It was just a passing score but better than I had expected。
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A) John didn't pass, although he had tried his best。
B) John did better than he thought he was able to。
C) John got an excellent score, which was unexpected。
D) John was disappointed at his maths score。
解析:這是一個典型的考試總是很難場景,在對話中女生說:你數(shù)學考試怎么樣?男生回答:做的很差,剛及格但是比我預想的好。因此答案選,值得一提的是I barely made it表示我勉強通過的意思。
4、訂房訂票總是定不上
在聽力的小對話中總是有一些不盡如人意的情況發(fā)生,只要留心就會發(fā)現(xiàn)處處體現(xiàn)出來“sorry”(遺憾)的情形。比如訂房訂票無論在四級還是在六級里面總是買不到,定不上。
典型題目:
Test 2 no 8
M: I'd like to make two reservations on Flight 651 for June 8th。
W: I'm sorry, we're booked up on the 8th. But we still have a few seats available on the 9th。
Q: When does the man want to leave?
A) On the 6th of June。
B) On the 8th of June。
C) On the 9th of June。
D) On the 19th of June。
解析:這是一個典型的訂房訂票訂不上場景,在對話中男生說:我想預定6月8號651航班 ,女生回答:對不起,我們8號的航班定完了,但是我們還有9號的。因此答案選
