與六月的四級考試相比,此次三篇聽力Passage無論是取材還是內(nèi)容的難度都有了全面提升。第一篇是“久別重逢”的科普類文章,主題關(guān)于“新行星生命生存與形成的可能性。第二篇的講的是“醫(yī)患之間的交流形式”。最后一篇提到了“企業(yè)中有效的激勵機制”。文章雖難,但課堂上提過的必出答案位置完全可以最大限度地保證考生解題的穩(wěn)定性和正確率(前三后三句必出、十大項標(biāo)志詞必出、聽見什么選什么、重讀必出等等),此次的三篇文章也反復(fù)印證了一點----廣大考生完全可以由技巧在考場上獲得“與考官靈魂附體的”境界。

第一篇盡管大量涉及科學(xué)常識,背景和體裁也很生僻,但卻是我們最樂意碰到的文體,課堂上反復(fù)提到,當(dāng)科普類文體出現(xiàn)時最簡單也是最有效的處理技巧就是“劃出選項核心詞”,因為此類文章原文難度極大,選項往往會相應(yīng)設(shè)置得比較明顯,多為“聽見什么選什么”;聽時答案標(biāo)志也會比較明顯(詳見下文講解)。

接下來的第二篇文字生澀,對于多數(shù)四級考生想全文理解恐怕勉為其難,不過原文與選項的難度永遠是互相牽制的,這也決定了正確答案必然不會隱晦,本文的三道題均為“聽見什么選什么”。在這一個瞬間,我們終于深刻領(lǐng)悟了考試如果不能做到”徹底明白”,還不如做到“徹底糊涂”來效果好,四六級聽力原本“聽的就是寂寞”,全文聽懂從來就只是一個“傳說”,何苦自擾心智呢?在此也以一句話與未來準(zhǔn)備六級的考生共勉“菩提本無樹、明鏡亦非臺、佛性本清靜、何處惹塵?!?。

最后一篇探討了企業(yè)激勵機制的問題,與學(xué)生生活相差甚遠,但憑借課堂提過的經(jīng)典出現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象和技巧,我們再次避免了與考官思路正面沖突,直接采用常規(guī)的“聽見什么選什么”以及“十大項標(biāo)志詞”就足以讓考題“身首異處”,一句話總結(jié)2009年四級那最后一場雪:今天,你與考官“靈魂附體”了嗎?

Passage 1

Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth. Until recently, 26題出題標(biāo)志(前三后三???(科學(xué)家講的話是真理)scientists believe(觀點標(biāo)志詞) that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. (只是夢想證明不容易實現(xiàn))But now they are beginning to locate places where life could form. In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun. scientists now think that life could be even nearer in our own solar system. 27題出題標(biāo)志One place scientists (科學(xué)家講的話是真理)are studying(觀點標(biāo)志詞) very closely is Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has (聽見什么選什么)a large ocean under its surface. The probes have also made scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat. Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Scientists believe there might be such chemicals lying at the bottom of Europa’s ocean. They may have already created life or may be about to. You may wonder if light is also needed for life to form. Until recently, 28題出題標(biāo)志(科學(xué)家講的話是真理)scientists (觀點標(biāo)志詞)thought that light was essential. But(轉(zhuǎn)折常考,聽到這里,課堂上為大家提過“前否后肯”,因此將light was essential的句意取反即是答案now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the surface. And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there. So(因果必出)(前三后三必出) the lack of light in Europa’s sub-surface ocean doesn’t automatically rule out life forming.此句不必理解,出現(xiàn)SO并且在后三句,證明只要聽到肯否就可以確定答案(doesn't automatically)。

Questions26 to 28
26. What did scientists once believe according to the passage?
C Live is not possible in outer space.
27. What have scientists found about Europa, a moon of Jupiter?
C It has a large ocean under its surface.
28. What have scientists come to know recently about formation of life?
A LIght is not an essential miles long

Passage 2

In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they’d been having over exactly what advice she had given. “As I talked to them, I was amazed.” 29題出題標(biāo)志she (觀點標(biāo)志詞)said, ”All(唯一級標(biāo)志詞) of them had heard the simple instructions(聽見什么選什么)I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people.” This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later- most people just don’t listen very well. Nowadays, she 30題出題標(biāo)志(觀點標(biāo)志詞)says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think(觀點標(biāo)志詞)they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients’ situation. Doc. Myer’s listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost 31題出題標(biāo)志(唯一級標(biāo)志詞)all listeners are faced with the challenge (前三后三??迹ㄒ蚬?迹゜ecause human speech lacks the stability (聽見什么選什么)and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.

Question 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard:
29. What did the child’s family members argue about in the hospital?
B What Dr.Meyer's instructions exacty were.
30. What did Doc. Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?
D She asks them to repeat what they are supposed to do.
31. What does the speaker say about human speech?
A it lacks the stability of the printed word.

Passage 3

It’s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Fredrick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, 32題出題標(biāo)志(轉(zhuǎn)折)in contrast, include things such as having a (聽見什么選什么)challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. 33題出題標(biāo)志(轉(zhuǎn)折必出)However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there’re always plenty of boring, repetitive(與選項中的TEDIOUS和CONTINUOUS替換) and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do mangers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, 34題出題標(biāo)志(轉(zhuǎn)折必出)but (聽見什么選什么)as a part of a team. For example, some supermarkets can buy office stuff to people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the check out into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company’s shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets which automatically 35題出題標(biāo)志(唯一級標(biāo)志詞)only (聽見什么選什么)concern a few people. Unfortunately, there’s only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in that industry can seriously plan to be the best.
