W: I think I will take the half day tour of the city.
M: Why not the whole day?
Q: What does the man suggest?
A)Spending more time on sightseeing.
B)Visiting the city with a group.
C)Touring the city on a fine day.
D)Taking the man with her on the four.
在这组对话中,女士在谈自己的一次旅行计划。男士提出建议。从语调上看,明显是升调,语气温和,重点落在whole这个单词上,以突出与上文half day的区别。因此,很容易答案A。
4.2.2从语法结构角度选择 如:
M: Professor Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know he works until mid-night. every day.
W:I wouldn’t have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
A)The woman has trouble getting along with the professor.
B)The woman regrets having taken up much of the professor’s time.
C)The woman knows the professor has been busy.
D)The woman knows the professor has run into trouble.
通过对话中使用的语法结构“…wouldn’t + have troubled him…”可以看出女士用了一个虚拟语气的句子表达了自己的后悔,不该占用教授那么多时间,所以,正确答案应选B.在做此类题时,要特别注意听力考试中常出现的几个特殊的句式。例如:否定式(no, not, hardly, seldom, barely…)、虚拟语气句、情态动词+现在完成时(should have done, may/might/must/could have done)、让步(although, even if, in spite of, unless, or else…)和围折(but, however…)等。
4.2.3边听边快速记录(特别是对Section B)
当对话和短文中(尤其是在短文中),含有大量信息或有一些复杂的数字出现时,仅靠记忆是不行的。所以,数字、地名、方向、顺序、人名等关键信息要迅速记下,可以用缩写或自己能看懂的符号速记下来。
4.2.3.1用符号表示
要表示提高一类的说法:
to jump a jump
to rise a rise
to increase an increase
to climba climb
就可以用符号,相反,
to fall, a fall
to drop, a drop
to decline, a decline
to decrease, a decrease
就可以用符号,还比如industry(工业)可用符号“?”,agriculture(农业)可用?。其它一些符号如“+”表示英文中的increase, furthermore, in addition to, with, and some
thing positive;
“-”表示 decrease and something negative.
“△”表示VIP,leader或一些重要事件.
4.2.3.2缩写形式
“y”来表示“year”,“m”表示“month”,“s”表示“the U.S.”,“k”表示“Korea”,“G”表示“government”,“ys” 表示“for years, for a long time”,“NK”表示“North Korea”.
