本次四級考試聽力短對話難度較往年來說,內(nèi)容難度有所加大。一、表現(xiàn)為詞匯上考得比較生僻,至少是考生平時不太注意的詞匯,比如:unbearable, feedback, weight-lifting, recommend, signal, absent-minded, expert, extremely, elderly, overdo等,這些詞并不多見于聽力內(nèi)容,而是在詞匯綜合、閱讀以及寫作領(lǐng)域運用得較多。二、表現(xiàn)為一些表達(dá)的生僻,雖然往年考試中總會有一些類似的表達(dá),但這些內(nèi)容很難總結(jié),也不存在總結(jié)范圍,因此對學(xué)生來說是心頭永遠(yuǎn)的痛,比如:had two weeks’ worth of weight-lifting in three days, recommend against, no expert, put it off, have my eyes on, black and blue等。
從題目角度而言,卻沒有太大的重心轉(zhuǎn)移。如第12題:
M: How’s the new job going?
W: Well, I’m learning a lot of new things, but I wish the director would give me some feedback.
Q:What does the woman want to know?
非常簡單的考點,就是but的轉(zhuǎn)折考點??忌ㄒ恍枰⒁獾木褪呛竺娉霈F(xiàn)的feedback在答案中以what the customers’ feedback is.作為混淆,文中說的是director的feedback,而不是customer的。明白了這一點,就不難得到答案the director’s opinion。
再如:第13、16題選項都是明顯的動詞詞組特征,考察了建議的考點,從對話中可以找到對應(yīng)內(nèi)容:
13、M: Can you help me work out a physical training program John?
W: Sure, but whatever you do, be careful not to overdo it. Last time I had two weeks’ worth of weight-lifting in three days and I hurt myself.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
此句中以祈使句be careful not to overdo it作為建議表達(dá),不過難點在于overdo一詞,容易和overdue的發(fā)音混淆。而即使考生不混淆,也估計不熟悉該詞,雖然往年來說,over的合成詞早在90年代初期就出現(xiàn)過,如:
M: Nancy, why were you late?
W: I overslept and missed the bus.
Q: Why was the woman late?
而16題中:
M: I’m no expert, but that noise in your refrigerator doesn’t sound right. Maybe you should have it fixed.
W: You’re right. And I suppose I’ve put it off long enough.
Q: What will the woman probably do?
其中男人最后一句maybe you should have it fixed.以非常明顯的should一詞,表達(dá)了直白的建議,所以總體來說題目考察重點沒有發(fā)生本質(zhì)的變化。
最后,再來看看一些技巧性內(nèi)容,不難發(fā)現(xiàn),聽力的人物針對性都很明確:
如:13、16題的動詞詞組題;12、14題的以疑問詞為導(dǎo)向的名詞詞組題;15、18明顯的女人導(dǎo)向;而17題明顯的男人導(dǎo)向。
而選項內(nèi)容中出現(xiàn)了一些挺有意思的選項,比如:
15題選項中出現(xiàn)的:A. the woman knows how to deal with the police.女人知道怎么和警察打交道?!唤雴?,女人和警察到底是該怎么打交道的?B. the woman had been fined many times before. 女人被罰了很多次款?!恢肋@樣的女人怎么還能被允許上路開車?D. the woman is good at finding excuses.女人擅長找借口?!唤雴枺四鼙磉_(dá)出什么樣的借口?
而18題中A. she is black and blue all over.女人身上布滿了青一塊紫一塊?!烙嬍撬募壙荚囈詠碜羁蓱z的女人了。
從以上內(nèi)容而言,可以這么總結(jié)這次考試的短對話內(nèi)容:語言變難、考點維持、預(yù)讀照舊、一些錯誤選項設(shè)計較為明顯,所以平均而言,難度尚屬學(xué)生可接受范圍,但對于以聽懂全部對話來做題,而不是針對考點突破的學(xué)生而言,難度較往年有提高。
