2020年大学英语四级短文听力题猜答案技巧

锦囊妙计1：一头一尾。决定成败

如果说.短文听力只要听懂短文的开头与结尾就能得到 较好的成绩，
这丝毫不令人意外。为了进一步说明短文听力理解题头尾句的作用，
我们先看几个 例子。

【例】 1. A) The art of saying thank you.

B) The secret of staying pretty.

C) The importance of good manners.

D) The difference between elegance and good manners.

2. A) They were nicer and gentler.

B) They paid more attention to their appearance.

C) They were willing to spend more money on clothes.

D) They were more aware of changes in fashion.

3. A) By decorating our homes.

B) By being kind and generous.

C) By wearing fashionable clothes.

D) By putting on a little make- up.

【录音】Do you remember a time when people were a little
nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do (中间的大段
话都没有听懂) Good manners add to your image, while an angry
face makes the best dressed person look ugly.

Q1： What is the passage mainly about?

Q2： What does the speaker say about people of the past?

Q3： According to the speaker, how can we best improve
our image?

[2004.1Passage One]

【解析 】Q1：四个选项都是名词性词组。这是一道主旨大意题。
“听到什么选什么”。manners在原文 中反复出现，应该能够听到;如
果没有幻听，应该不会听到elegance吧?答案为C。Q2：短文 第一句话
原词再现.听到什么选什么。答案为A。Q3：如果不是选择题，丽是问
答题，我们会 毫不犹豫地回答说：Good manners。似乎没有用上“听
到什么选什么”的技巧，不过，同义 替换也没有什么可怕的。——记
住，短文听力理解中.一般不会有同音干扰，所以不会有问题的。答案< br>为B。

做了上面这篇短文听力理解，读者也许会吓一跳：啊!短文的听力
理解原来这么……(都不知该用什么语言表达了!)不是说很难吗?其实
也不尽然啊!听懂两句话.就解 决问题了!

短文听力魔力法宝：短文开头与结尾的关键词揭示主题内容.是解
题 的重要依据。与“听到什么选什么”原则相结合.这些核心词就成为
准确答题的钥匙。

锦囊妙计2：语义突出之处.必是出题关键

在听力理解题目中，语义突出的方式颇多。

首先而且主要的语义突出方式就是通过语音现 象来增强语气。这
个点，稍加注意便可体会到：关键之处，往往前后停顿时间稍长;重要
单词， 往往读得响亮又清晰。

其次，为了与这种语义突出作用相匹配，在词汇上也会有一些特
点。比如：the only，the first，the perfect setting等等。这些
词的共同特点是，对所修饰的对象起着突出的作用。

第三，在语法上，语义突出的方式也令人侧目：because，but，
however都能带来新的信息;级形式的形容词，表示目的的不定式，都
会获得句子重音。

第四，在篇章结构上，起承转合之处，排序列举之处，均为显
“耳”之处，万万不可忽视。 这些语义突出之处，必有题目考查。

【例2】1. A) Beauty. B) Loyalty.

C) Luck. D) Durability.

2. A) He wanted to follow the tradition of his country.

B) He believed that it symbolized an everlasting marriage.

C) It was thought a blood vessel in that finger led
directly to the heart.

D) It was supposed that the diamond on that finger would
bring good luck.

3. A) The two people can learn about each other's likes
and dislikes.

B) The two people can have time to decide if they are a
good match.

C) The two people can have time to shop for their new
home.

D) The two people can earn enough money for their wedding.

【录音】The period of engagement is the time between the
marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony... The diamond
represented beauty; he placed it on the third finger of her
left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that
the blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart...

Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to
permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose
is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure that,
they want to marry each other... Q1： What was the diamond
ring said to represent? Q2： Why did the Austrian man place
the diamond ring on the third finger of the left hand of his
would-be wife? Q3： What is the chief advantage of having the
engagement period? [2005.6Passage Three]

【解析】Q1：听到什么选什么。短文中的beauty必定重读，它后< br>面有稍许停顿，显得异常响亮。只有思想开小差的人才听不到这个词。
答案为A。Q2：如果作为 阅读理解题，问题中的why与短文中的
because当然很醒目。但是.在听力理解过程中，要听清 楚转瞬即逝的
because，平时还是要多加练习。不错，它是一个很有用的信号词，告
诉我 们答案之所在.但是，如果耳朵不好使，好计策也会落空的!答案
为C。Q3：本题的答案，短文中也有 显著的标志engagement period。
训练耳朵敏锐捕捉“重点”信息的水平，何其重要! 我们实在不必完全
听懂全文.但绝对付不起听不到如此响亮的关键词的代价。答案为B。
