We had to park on the grass and hoped that we would not get a parking ticket. When I got to the admission office, there was already a long line of students waiting. By the time it was my turn, two of the courses I needed were filled and I had to go back to my adviser and make out a whole new timetable. Although I did sign up for all my courses, I missed lunch. The next thing to go wrong was that the bookstore had sold out one of the textbooks required. As I was leaving, I wondered what else could possibly happen, then I saw a policeman standing beside my car, writing out a ticket.)

英语听力考试的注意事项
听力能力虽然需要经过长期的训练才能提高,但是在各类考试中,如果注意一些问题,对于应试答题还是有利的。
一、平心静气集中精力
考生要善于控制自己的情绪,尤其要排除对听力测试的恐惧或抗拒心理,坦然放松,充分自信,静心聆听。不能因为一个单词或一句话没听清楚而急躁慌乱,影响后面内容的聆听而影响答题。一旦产生了负面的情绪,可以用一些简单的事情帮助克服。例如,可以进行自我心理暗示,告诉自己“这没有什么,我能行”。或者可以把负面情绪当作有形的东西,做一些诸如甩头的小动作,把紧张或排斥心理“甩掉”。
二、快速读题有目的地听
聪明的考生一旦拿到试卷,就应该利用一切可能的时间进行听力测试的快速读题,对将可能听到的信息或考核内容进行预测,并可适当地做一些标记,带着问题听,带着预测去搜索答案,也即有目的地“听”。它使考生由被动转为主动,打一场有准备的仗。对待一切听力考试都行之有效的方法是,抓紧时间先看选项并提炼其中的信息。当录音开始宣读 Directions 时,考生应充分利用这段时间速度选项,预测考点,从而做到心中有数。通过先看选项,可以明确题目多方面的信息:
1. 题目涉及到的人物、地点、场合等,在非主题题型中,可能暴露该题的主题。考生可以通过对全部选项的速读建立起一个大概的场景,如图书馆、医院病房等,从而联想起与该环境有关的词汇,迅速进入状态。
2. 当四个选项是同类短语时,考点就在这一细节。这时,考生应充分集中精力听懂时间数字等与选项对应的细节考点。
3. 尽管四个选项中只有一个正确答案,其余的三个选项设置也并非和题目毫无关系。结合四个选项的共同点,我们往往可以得到大量的提示,有时候甚至可以把答案猜得八九不离十。真正听题的时候,考生可以和录音给出的信息进行比较,轻易排除错误选项,直达正确答案。
三、掌握节奏合理安排时间
录音不等人,所以很多考生答题时都很紧张。听力考试每分钟朗读的字数和停顿时间往往有限制,比较稳定,我们要做的是跟上节奏,所以过分的紧张反而没有必要。在听录音时,我们应尽量的听音、记录、理解和记忆同时完成。由于时间短暂,也因为仅凭脑力无法记住长达数分钟的对话或短文内容,考生要适当做些笔记。在记录时不必拘泥于形式,可以用简写、缩写,也可以只写单词的几个开头字母,或做一些只要自己能明白的简单符合记录即可,特别是众多的数字、时间、日期、人名、地名更需要我们做笔记。
四、听懂语调和重音
英语和汉语一样,说话人通过各种各样的语调和重音的变化表达不同的意思。各类考试的听力录音人更是力求表演得真实,他们绝不会用平淡的语调表示自己的惊讶,也绝不会把重音放在无关紧要的词上。重读的每一处都具有提示作用。因而,从录音的表现中能推测人物的心理活动、观点和态度。语调和重音是暴露考点的关键线索,把握了重读部分至少就成功了一半。
提高英语听力的方法
英语听力能力的提高也同语言其他方面的能力存在共性,就是需要大量的训练,但是训练要讲究方法,做到事半功倍。我们提倡从四个方面来提高听力。
一、听力速度训练
听力速度直接关系到听力测试的成败,而且是影响考生测试心理的一个重要因素。测试中因为一道题没跟上而顿时慌乱,接连丢失几题的情况并不罕见。
科学训练听力速度就要循序渐进,即由慢速到快速,逐步提高。这种方法可使初学者逐渐适应有声信息的接受方式,树立起听的信心。但是,人为地将语速放慢,也并不利于听力的提高。而且,如果信息传播的速度过于缓慢,反而会拉长记忆的距离,造成遗忘,久而久之,大脑的反应速度也就变得迟钝了。
一般听力测试的语速是英语本族人讲英语的正常速度。为使大脑尽早适应这种语速,宜从一开始就以这种速度进行训练。初级阶段会出现听完之后大脑中对所听内容没有什么印象的现象,但不必担忧,因为在这种语速的不断“轰击”下,耳朵会逐渐敏锐,从开始只能抓住只言片语到能接受一个完整句子,直至大脑完全适应了这种语速,接下来便是行使其记忆与判断的功能了。
在听力速度训练中要抓住速度这个主要矛盾,采用语法及词汇比较浅显而语速正常的有声材料。
二、听力素质训练
全面提高英语水平是提高听力之本。在训练提高听力的同时,还要注意扎实的基础知识和全面的综合素质的培养。就基础知识而言,非英语国家的人在非英语环境中训练听力,对于从单词的发音开始,到短语、句子的分析,连读、略读的掌握和语法知识的熟练掌握,都非常重要。另外,对于英语国家的风土人情、历史背景、文化渊源要尽可能的了解。就整个学习过程而言,必须要不断的总结,周期性增加自己的知识量,避免出现这一段时间学了,下一段时间又忘了。
三、听力记忆训练
听力考试不仅是考查是否听懂的能力,还是考查学生短时记忆的能力。因此,在平时的训练中要注意提高大脑的记忆能力。要想记住所听的内容就要:
1. 真正用心听,集中精力听那些你想记忆的重要信息。
2. 不要把精力放在个别单词上,一定要注意把握文章的整体。只要抓住了全文的意思,听不清或听不懂个别词也没关系。
3. 听完之后,立即做一做自我测试,检验你能回忆起多少听过的内容。
4. 把你听到的东西向别人复述。
5. 找个朋友一起听。录音结束后,你和他可以谈谈所听的内容,看看你们听到的是否一致。
6. 如果你想隔较长时间再回忆你所听的内容,那么你最好把你所听的要点记录下来。
这里又提到了一个作笔记的问题。听音时作笔记也是帮助我们理解听力材料的一个好方法,它可以提高区分有用信息和无用信息的能力。更重要的一点还在于它能帮我们减轻大脑的负担,完整而准确的把握所听材料的主要内容。
记笔记的方式可因人而异。你可以在选择项旁边尽可能地记下文中所提及的人名、地名、各种数据、事实和理由等你认为重要的信息。好的笔记应该是对所听内容做出的简要提纲,可以用关键词,也可以用短语或句子来表示,关键是要简洁、明白、快捷。
四、听力理解训练
要提高听力,首先应从多听教学听力录音带入手,如所学的课本录音带、口语教材录音带,也可以选听结合或略高于自己水平的有趣材料。对所选的听力材料要区分为精听和泛听两种。无论是精听还是泛听,最好开始都不要看文字材料。精听应先把录音内容从头至尾听一遍,再把听不懂的地方一遍又一遍地反复听。若有些地方实在听不懂,也应尽量听清各个音节,然后翻开书看看,有些影响理解的生词可查一下词典。接着再合上书从头至尾听,直到能够听懂全部内容为止。通过这样的听力训练,可促使自己提高辨音及理解能力。如果读过书面材料听,则往往是自己的默读,这样达不到提高听力的目的,遇到新材料的时候就又会听不懂。
精听最好是选用教学录音和有故事情节的短文或科普短文;泛听则可选用一些口语教材或一些有趣的小故事,使自己多接触录音材料,以求熟悉英语发音,扩大知识面,提高听力。泛听可一遍过,只要听懂大概意思就行了。如果一遍听不懂,可倒过来再听一遍,还是听不懂,就翻一下书,继续听下去,而在第一遍听材料的时候,一定要聚精会神,让自己的思维跟上每一个音节。在每句停顿时,可在脑海里反复一下。听的过程当中遇到生词不要停下来多想,因为有些生词可以在整个内容中理解。有些生词并不影响理解意思,可以不管,停下来想,反而影响听下面的内容。听音时要随着录音材料在脑子里用英语重复,而且速度要练得能跟上录音速度,不能边听边翻译。一般只要难度相当,能听清大部分单词,是可以理解其大意的。
在听力训练中,既要能准确无误地听出某些重要的数据、年代、人名、地名及事实,又要兼顾把握大意的训练,这就必须把精听与泛听结合起来,交替练习,即把精听和泛听分成各自独立的练习,听时穿插安排,也可把一个故事或报告分成精听和泛听段落,有些部分精听,其余泛听。
另外,在平时的训练中,要尽可能扩大你听英语的范围。这就是说尽可能多听英语母语人士的谈话(英国英语和美国英语)。同时也要多听非英语国家人们的谈话(法国英语、德国英语等)。英国广播公司(BBC)的面向世界的广播是听地道的英语的极好来源,观看电影录像也是如此。说英语的本族人在说话时,通常省掉一些词,以求省事,我们必须习惯他们的说话方式。
通过上面的种种方法,只要你能勤加练习就可以在短时间内突破英语听力,记住听完后一定要及时整理、检验你的成果,不能放到一边,否则你很难达到令自己满意的。
