四六級短文聽力必知的做題技巧

除了長對話，短文聽力（也叫聽力篇章，英文是passages）也是四級和六級共有的題型，今天我們就來談一談短文聽力的做題技巧~

　　一、短文聽力的位置

在四六級試卷中，短文聽力的位置如下：

四級聽力的第三部分，Section C，題號：16-25題，共10題，過級建議做對至少6題。

六級聽力的第二部分：Section B，題號：9-15題，共7題，過級建議做對至少5題。

　　二、短文聽力的篇幅

從2016年剛剛考過的聽力來看：四級短文聽力長度在230~260字左右，六級篇幅為250~280字左右。

實際上，改革後的四六級聽力比四六級官方考綱裏給到的篇幅都要長一些。難度是有所上升的。

短文聽力長度變長，聽的時候容易走神，題目靠後，又可能來不及預讀選項。備考有哪些技巧能提高做題效率呢？

俗話説，知己知彼，百戰不殆。先來看下短文聽力的主要特徵：

　　三、短文聽力的'主要特徵

（1）信息量大，題材廣泛。

短文長度一般為250字左右，中間無停頓。

另外短文的題材廣泛：不僅有日常生活現象介紹分析、實驗和調查研究、知名人物介紹、故事敍述，還會涉獵社會問題方面。

如全球升温，污染，交通，資源，文教等；另外還有一些集知識性和趣味性為一體的文章。

（2）句式複雜。

六級短文中的結構複雜的長難句出現的頻率比四級的要高，這是短文聽力的一個特點，也是一個難點。

理解長難句的能力得靠平時的練習和積累，不是靠一時之功就可以應對自如的。

不過臨考遇到時也沒必要慌張，盡最大努力把握好大意就可以了，不一定會影響答題。

（3）文脈清晰。

幾乎所有的四六級聽力短文都可以按邏輯結構分為：篇首，中間部分，篇尾。

篇首往往會開門見山地點明主題，所以一定要靜聽，精聽，以便把握中心思想。

中間部分具體闡述主題，內容豐富，細緻，翔實，往往是考點出現比較集中的部分。

篇尾是對通篇的總結。若是敍述類短文，則通常是必考部分。

（4）考點分佈有規可循。

短文聽力的考點分佈一般與短文結構相呼應。

也就是説，為了考察應試者對文章整體脈絡的掌握，開頭部分的內容會設置一個考點，中間部分視情況有一至兩個考點，篇尾處也會來一個考點。

形式為1+1+1=3或是1+2+1=4. （小編：難怪短文聽力後的題目不是3個就是4個~ ）

那麼，知道了短文聽力的這些特點，再結合小編之前推送的聽力技巧重磅！聽力技巧知道這些就夠了！短文聽力so easy！

　　四、短文聽力核心技巧

1、視聽基本一致

2、順序答題，首尾句，轉折關係等重點詞彙

3、注意語調變化，升調（疑問句）時會出題

4、最高級會出題

　　五、真題示例

下面讓我們以2011年6月六級考試真題的Passage C 為例，具體問題具體分析：

（篇首）Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically, she covers crime in the Green Ville area.

（中間部分）This responsibility takes her to many different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn't much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There're also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night.

（中間部分）Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies. But Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum.

（篇尾）Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year.

首先利用空隙時間瀏覽選項，推測文章大概內容，注意抓住信號詞（下劃加粗部分）。

32. What is Florence Hayes' main responsibility as a journalist?

A) Covering major events of the day in the city.

B) Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville.

C) Hunting news for the daily headlines.

D) Writing articles on family violence.

答案：B: Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville.

解析：文章開篇處明確指出Specifically, she covers crime in the Green Ville area. 把握好這點，這個題目就解了，應選Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville.

注意此處的同意轉換：covers crime 相當於是reporting criminal offenses 換種説法而已。

33. What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?

A) It is a much safer place than it used to be.

B) Rapes rarely occur in the downtown areas.

C) Assaults often happen on school campuses.

D) It has fewer violent crimes than big cities.

答案：D: It has fewer violent crimes than big cities.

解析：中間部分出現的考點；本題屬邏輯推斷題。

文中提到：There isn’t much violent crime in a small town like Greenville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas.

在Greenville這樣的小城，暴力犯罪並不多，至少可以説沒有大城市的犯罪率高。

注意large urban areas也即big cities，屬同義轉換。

34. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Greenville area?

A) There are a wide range of cases.

B) They are very destructive.

C) There has been a rise in such crimes

D) They have aroused fear among the residents.

答案：A: There are a wide range of cases.

解析：這也是中間部分出現的考點；屬推斷總結題。

原文提到：They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies.

可推斷在Greenville區域，財產侵犯類犯罪，作案手段很多，其他選項裏的信息文中都未提到。

35. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?

A) Write about something pleasant.

B) Do some research on local politics.

C) Offer help to crime victims.

D) Work as a newspaper editor.

答案：A. Write about something pleasant.

解析：篇尾出現的考點；屬細節把握題。

文末提到：She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics… 她寧願報道些趣味性更濃，不那麼令人討厭的地方新聞或政治類新聞…；

另外文中提到：Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper. 可見她並不討厭記者這個行當，沒想過徹底改行。

這篇聽力屬於典型的1+2+1=4的出題原則。聽題時注意信號詞和文章順序，運用所聽即所得原則，結合文章意義和選項中意義進行對比推測，不難得出正確答案。

由此可見，雖然改革後的四六級短文聽力難度有所加大，但如果根據文章結構和考點分佈的規律去把握全篇，有重點地記憶，分析信息，那麼要拿下它也不成問題。
