泛听的内容就不用局限于考试题型了。VOA，英音版《新概念》第二册或第三册，以及英文歌曲都可以作为泛听材料。吃饭时，睡觉前都可以听，不要求每句话都听懂，主要是让自己的耳朵适应英语语言环境。下载一批到自己mp3里，这批听的大概意思都差不多能听明白时就换下一批。
短文式的听力有四种答题的方式：
1、 中心思想题目
这类问题主要是测试文章的.主要思想。提问方式一般为：What is the passage mainly about? What can we learn from this passage? 集中精力听好短文开头， 因为四级听力短文一般会开门见山，把中心思想置于文章的开头。
2、 考察细节包括具体时间、地点、主要人物、事件、各类数字等，问题一般为：wh—questiuon形式。这种题型要求考生听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感，及时做好笔记;
3、 对错判断题
如：Which of the following is true/not true,according to the passage? Which of the following is not mentioned?等等。这种题型一定要听清提问，对于有没有not一词要弄清楚，一般情况下，not一词会重读。
一.四级考试大纲对听力的要求
在国家英语四级考试中，听力部分占总分的20%，即20分。《大纲》对于四级的要求是：对于题材熟悉，句子结构比较简单，基本上没有生词，语速每分钟约120词的听力材料，一遍可以听懂，理解的准确率不低于70%。听力是考试的重点，也是中国学生的弱点。因此掌握四级听力技巧对于通过考试至关重要。
二.四级听力题型
1.Section A(对话题)：对话题基本是衣、食、住、行等日常生活中常见的话题和学校生活的话题。
2.Section B(短文理解题)：Scetion B一般由三篇短文组成，每篇字数在150-170左右，只读一遍，然后提出三到四个问题要求考生进行选择，主要测试的是考生的语篇记忆力和整体的听力理解能力。
听力技巧-把握主题
听力和阅读需要许多技巧。发现某段落的主题就是其中之一。
什么是段落主题?怎样才能找到它?
段落主题也可理解为这个段落的中心意思，或者是体现这个段落的主旨和方向的核心意思。换句话说就是，你找主题的过程也就是确定这个段落的主要目的的过程：它是要告诉你一件事?还是解释说明，亦或是详细叙述?它是要与其它某事或某物作比较，还是要反驳某件事，亦或是就某点说服你?凡此种种目的，不一而足。明白了这一点，你就能够比较容易地找到段落的中心意思了。
体现段落中心意思的句子叫主题句，常放在段首，而且往往是段落的第一句。其后所跟的其它句子，提供支持这个主题句的全部细节。
当要讨论的是一个比较费解的意思，或者说当一个段落的目的是要说服你时，主题句有时放在段末。
如果某个段落有着暗含的中心意思，通常没有明确的主题句来体现。这个暗含的中心意思要从这个段落的整体来把握。
听力技巧-学会放过
许多英语学*者认为听力理解的最大难点是，听者无法控制说话者的语速。往往还没来得及把一个意思弄明白，而说话者就已经转到另一个意思上去了，不像阅读书面文章那样，可以返回头重看前面的内容。这种现象表明这些听力练*者跟不上说话人的语速。有两种听不懂的情况，一种是，太专注于思索刚听到的一句话，而无法听到下面的话;另一种情况是，因为不能足够迅速地把所有听到的整理一清而遗漏了整段话。
另一个难点是听者不能老让说话人重复其前面所说过的话。此外，当你听收音机或看电视时，当然也不能让其重复。
尽管在某些情况下可以打断说话者要求其讲得更清楚，但词汇选择权在说话者而非听者。有时，听者可以从上下文发现某个词的意思。但对于听外语的人来说，一个生词经常就象突然不期而至的障碍一样，使其停下来思考这个词的意思，而把后面的讲话全部漏掉。在听的过程中，这确实是一?quot;稍纵即逝"的现象。
事实上，在听的时候，学会放过某些暂时不明白的词或句子不去追究而接着听下面的话往往会得到ss意想不到的惊喜效果。而且，说话者对这些东西往往不只说一次，或者会在接下来的话中换一种方式说，或者另一个说话人会对前面所说过的作反应。这样，没有对某个一知半解的意思苦苦思索的听者就会有第二次，甚至第三次机会把前面略过的意思补全了。
学生们要学会跟上说话者的思想速度(甚至比说话者还要快)，即使这意味着将某些没有听清或听懂的放过去。H.H.斯特恩教授说，一个善于学*语言的人是那种"能够忍受认知上一时糊涂和缺欠的人"。这一点的确是真的。要成为一个好的听者，记住这点很重要。
1.要心态*静
听力部分的主要特点是时间短录音只放一遍，不能复听，常使考生产生畏惧心理。有的考生走进考场心进而就非常紧张，录音一响，脑子一片空白，什么也听不进去。还有的考生遇到未听懂或未完全听懂的题，就不知所措。如遇到这种情况，要学会“丢卒保车”，讯速猜一个答案，然后果粗心地放弃此题，准备下一题。若总是高度紧张，不切实际地想不丢一分，那就会背上包袱，以致于做完一道题，仍在回想刚才对旖 批发市场是的是什么 ，结果是鸡飞蛋打－－没有听懂的不能重听，依然不懂，能听懂的没有去听，放掉了信息。总之，不要过分计较一分得失，要以良好的状态，*静的心态去争取全面胜利。
2.要巧用时间，争取主动
拿到考卷后，不要按步就班地运河听（或读）题前说明和例句，因为这部分例句和说明基本不变，考前已经很熟悉。考生可利用录音中播放 内容时快速济览各个题目的四个选择项，特别是那些较长的选项。
3.要从选择项出发，善于预测问题
男女双方的对话、第三者提出的问题一卷面上出现的选项之间有着密切的联系。考应从选择项入手，从中预测对话的主题和可能提出的问题。预测在听力理解中非常重要。预测能帮助提高识别速度，而识别速度是听力理解的关键之一。听力 理解不像阅读理解，是单向的、一次性的，如果考生的识别速度跟不上放音速度，就会故此失彼，非常被动。
4.要善于捕捉解题信息
信息词是解题的钥匙，抓住了信息词，问题即可迎刃而解。解题信息可能是一个词、一个短语、一个句子，甚至是一个标点；也可能是语音、语调或语气。听时要注意快速捕捉，仔细辨析。
听力材料的选材原则一般基于以下三点：
一、对话部分为校园生活中的一般对话，句子结构和内容不太复杂。
二、短文部分的材料是题材熟、情节不太复杂的故事、讲话或叙述等。
三、所用词汇一般不超过教学大纲词汇表规定的范围。
试卷结构分析
听力理解部分测试学生获取口头信息的能力。录音材料用标准的英式或美式英语朗读，语速四级约每分钟130词，六级约每分钟150词。听力部分分值比例为35%，其中对话占15%，短文占20%.考试时间30分钟。
对话部分包括短对话和长对话，采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。短对话有8段，每段提一个问题;长对话有2段，每段提3-4个问题;对话部分共15题。每段对话均朗读一遍，每个问题后留有13-15秒的答题时间。
短文部分包括短文理解及单词和词组听写。短文理解有3篇，采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。四级每篇长度为220-250词，六级为 240-270词。每篇短文朗读一遍，提3-4个问题，每个问题后留有13-15秒的答题时间，共10题。单词及词组听写采用1篇短文，四级的长度为 220-250词，六级为240-270词。要求考生在听懂短文的基础上用所听到的原文填写空缺的单词或词组，共10题。短文播放三遍。
——大学英语四级听力技巧 (菁华3篇)
1、在听录音之前，考生应将所有选项浏览一遍，这样可以对短文内容和文体有个大致的了解和判断。通过纵向、横向比较能发现一些解题的重要信息，如否定词、转折词、重复出现的单词和短语，这些都能够帮助推断短文内容及问题类型。
2、要注意捕捉每篇文章或每一段开头的一句话，因为它们往往是该篇或该段落的主题句，概括了文章的主要内容或对下**出了重要提示。
3、要密切注意短文中事件发生的时间、地点、人物和情节这些要素，因为短文后的问题通常会以what， when， where， which， who， why， whose， how等疑问词开头。
4、从整体上了解短文的中心内容，根据题目的要求把握主要情节或论点，在不影响听的前提下做笔记，把回答问题的关键词语及内容记录下来。
5、听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感，及时做好笔记;
文中一旦出现：
因果连词（如：because，so，due to等）
转折连词（如but，however，though等）
这些词引导的句子，也要格外留心，这些地方往往就是考点。
6、要特别注意试题的排列次序，因为这类题型常常是将小题按所对应的录音材料内容的顺序排列。如果没有时间预先阅读选项或时间不宽裕，考生可以边听录音边依次浏览选项，同时进行思考、答题。
一.四级考试大纲对听力的要求
在国家英语四级考试中，听力部分占总分的20%，即20分。《大纲》对于四级的要求是：对于题材熟悉，句子结构比较简单，基本上没有生词，语速每分钟约120词的听力材料，一遍可以听懂，理解的准确率不低于70%。听力是考试的重点，也是*学生的弱点。因此掌握四级听力技巧对于通过考试至关重要。

学生们要学会跟上说话者的思想速度(甚至比说话者还要快)，即使这意味着将某些没有听清或听懂的放过去。H.H.斯特恩教授说，一个善于学*语言的人是那种"能够忍受认知上一时糊涂和缺欠的人"。这一点的确是真的。要成为一个好的听者，记住这点很重要。
（一）英语四级听力答题技巧
1、短对话的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有8道试题，对话一般是有两个不同的说话者进行问答或者交流，然后由第三个说话者针对对话内容进行提问，提问形式一般是特殊疑问句的形式，问题主要涉及到对话的主题、人物关系、时间、地点、情节等，英语学*者要注意听懂双方对话中话语的隐含意义。在大学英语四级考试听力的考试过程中，英语学*者可以根据自己在听的时候的理解以及听之前的预测迅速地在题目的A，B，C，D选项后面做一些自己明白的记号，比如在认为有可能成为答案的选项后面或者根本没有可能成为答案的选项后面分别做不同的记号，这样当听到问题的时候就可以很确定地选择答案。
2、长对话的答题技巧。
这部分试题一共有7道试题，两个长对话，和短对话一样，长对话的答案一般也是从上面短对话的几个方面去考虑得出答案。要注意的是，有时候同一个长对话里的不同问题，答案可能从不同的方面得出。做这部分试题的时候，要注意以下几点：听音前，尽可能地把3或者4道试题的选项浏览一遍，根据选项猜测可能出现的问题及提问方式。听音时，迅速抓住与选项及所猜测问题有关的关键词，速记有关内容或者在选项后面做记号，在有可能成为答案的选项后面做记号，在绝对没有可能成为答案的选项后面做记号，当然两种记号肯定应该不一样。听清问题，修正猜测问题，做出正确选择。另外在长对话中，由于问题不止一个，为了防止听了后面，忘了前面，因此在听的过程中，参照各题的选项，做一些简要的笔记，是很有用的，特别是听到数字、时间、龄、地点等问题时，简要的笔记尤其有用。
（二）提升听力成绩的三大要素：
要素一、精听
坚持每天花半小时精听，不要间断。建议至少听三轮：第一轮：将没有听清楚和明白的地方标注出来。第二轮：第一轮中标注的地方仔细听，直到听懂，修改第一轮的答案。然后对照标准答案，错误地方的认真分析，标注。第三轮：边听边写下内容，可以先尝试短对话，再写写长对话，写完后对照原文，查漏补缺。精听的内容可以选择模拟题或05-10年的真题，剩下的真题留到后期做整套的检测。
要素二、泛听
泛听的内容就不用局限于考试题型了。VOA，英音版《新概念》第二册或第三册，以及英文歌曲都可以作为泛听材料。吃饭时，睡觉前都可以听，不要求每句话都听懂，主要是让自己的耳朵适应英语语言环境。下载一批到自己mp3里，这批听的大概意思都差不多能听明白时就换下一批。
要素三、掌握一定的'听力技巧
听力基础能力的提升固然重要，但对于要迫切通过四六级的考生来说，技巧的掌握可使大家通关事半功倍。
在线网络短文与短对话题型的小技巧。
1、听什么就选什么：视听一致，边听边选，一一对应。
2、顺序原则：注意题目和文章的考点有先后顺序对应的关系。

一.改快为慢，精听为王
很多小伙伴一听到英语新闻就蒙圈了，全然不知道在说什么。这个时候小编建议你从听慢速新闻开始，这样也可以听清单词发音，培养英语语感。同时这个时期也是词汇量进行储备的阶段。经过一段时间的训练，当你能全然听懂的时候，就可以开始听常速新闻了。这个时候就进入了真正的精听阶段了，CNN、BBC或AP News每个小时开始的英语新闻，你可以下载下来，带上耳机反反复复的听，不断的听，直到把每个表达、每个停顿、每个节奏全部听懂为止。分句分段听，八遍不行，听十遍。自己听出来的东西，在脑子里可以形成深刻的印象。
精听还有个很好的方法，就是听写 Dictation，边听边写，把所听的内容转成文字写出来。一开始做听写的时候可能进步比较慢，但只要你咬牙坚持下来，这样的训练可以让你的英语有质的`飞跃。
二.听说同步，跟读模仿
常说，学英语听说不分家。确实如此，练*听力不仅要用耳朵听，还要动嘴说。选一些难度适中的新闻，进行跟读模仿。这个时候一些语言现象也会在你模仿中体会出来，比如：英语单词的弱化、连读和省略，句重音，节奏等。这样，在跟读模仿的同时，你的口语也会得到强化。老是听新闻如果感到枯燥的话，也可以换一些著名的英语演讲进行模仿跟读。经过一段时间的努力和积累，你就熟悉了英国人或美国人的发音规律和节奏，听新闻的时候也会更加的游刃有余。
三.信息匹配，大量阅读
听是接受信息，但是这个信息如果在脑子里之前没有储备，搜索不到相关的内容进行匹配，肯定就会不知所云。这个时候就需要你通过大量的阅读报刊杂志来充实你的脑袋。现在有很多在线的新闻网站如：BBC、CNN、Reuters、New York Times等。报纸方面，小编推荐《今日美国》和《***》;刊物方面，小编推荐《经济学人》《时代周刊》《纽约客》《科学美国人》等。经过大量阅读，你不仅积累了词汇，还熟悉了新闻的套路，听起新闻来自然就轻而易举了。
2017英语四级听力技巧
英语四级听力想要快速提分，除了*日复*多听音频复述及听写，还要懂得一些英语四级听力技巧，下面是小编为大家带来的大学英语四级听力技巧。
2017英语四级听力技巧(一)
英语四级听力考试常常涉及一些地名，在汉语中，我们对地名感到容易掌握，是因为*时见多识广。其实，英语中的地名也有类似的感觉。像Paris(巴黎)，Washington(华盛顿)等，一听就能立即判断出是哪里。
在英语四级听力材料中(特别是Section B)，当你听到一个不熟悉的地名时，首先不要慌张，如果它和所设题目关系不大，可放掉它，如果所设题目和地名有关，你可以从相关信息中推理。
下面是一些著名的城市：
伦敦 London
爱丁堡 Edinburgh
芝加哥 Chicago
洛杉矶 Los Angeles
凤凰城 Phoenix
圣安东尼奥 San Antonio
西雅图 Seattle
波特兰 Portland
盐湖城 Salt Lake City
丹佛 Denver
波士顿 Boston
亚特兰大 Atlanta
迈阿密 Miami
渥太华 Ottawa
堪培拉 Canberra
日内瓦 Geneva
罗马 Rome
悉尼 Sydney
梵蒂冈城 Vatican city
撇开单纯的考试形式，熟悉常用地名对提高阅读能力也有帮助。例如：
W: Where did you go on your vacation?
M: I spent a week in Toronto.
Q: In which country did the man spend his holiday?
四个选项中，你会找到加拿大这个国家。做对这道题的前提是你知道多伦多(Toronto)是加拿大一个港市。
但是，世界上的地名太多，你的目标只是掌握一些常见的。即便如此，这也是一项繁重的工作，需要童鞋们努力去积累，这是顺利通过四级并为通过六级考试打下基础的必要准备。
2017英语四级听力技巧(二)
在英语四级听力材料中，有很多是围绕有关外国货币的内容设计的，因此，熟悉一些主要国家的货币名称也很重要。常见的货币名称可以提示你对话发生在什么国家或地区，也为证明说话者身份提供了信息。下面列举一些常见货币名称：
Dollar 美国 美元
Franc 法国 法郎
Lira 意大利 里拉
Mark 德国 马克
Peso 墨西哥 比索
Pound 英国 磅
Rouble 俄罗斯 卢布
Yen 日本 日元
其它的一些货币名称，考生只需了解。另外，考生还应知道在美元体系中，还有dime(一角银币)，nickle(5分镍币)，cent(分)等单位及其之间关系。
讲到货币，就不能不讲到银行，因此还要对银行系统相关词汇有所了解。银行是负责货币流通的机构，主要业务有：
存款 deposit
汇款 remittance
兑换 exchange
外币 foreign currency
汇率 rate
信用卡credit card
旅行支票 travelling check
遗产委托 heritage entrustment
金融市场 financial market
证券交易所 stock exchange
银行扣除 deduct
对话式听力有两种类型。
第一种类型中每组对话一般是在一男女之间进行的`一问一答，问题一般由先讲话的人提出，题目均以问题形式出现，其中多数的特殊疑问句。这些问题涉及的内容大致归纳如下：
(1)：问“是什么、要什么、讨论什么、什么种类”
(2)：问“做什么”
(3)：问“什么含义”
(4)：问“从对话中能获得什么信息或结论”
(5)：问“对某人某事有什么看法”
(6)：问“讲话的两人是什么关系”
第二种类型中有两个较长的对话，每个对话后设有2—4个问题，提出的问题主要问“对话可能是在哪里发生的”等。如：Where does this conversation?这部分听力相对比较简单，考生从所给出的选项就可以推测出很多题在问什么，知道在对话中重点应该听什么，什么是关键词，从而选出正确的选项。
就拿听力部分来说，分为以下几个模块。
1、小对话部分，特别需要注意一些常见的技巧。
比如说视听反向原则，就是听到不选，又比如说关注一下重点场景词汇和短语，关注一下替换的一些方案。
2、场景对话和听力短文两种题目，掌握视听一致基本原则。
对于场景对话和短文听力两种题目，最能在现场救大家于水火之中的就是一种题一种考法，一种叫视听基本式原则，很简单，就是你听到的东西被看到，同时你看到的东西又被听到，某一个选项集中的单词很多的话，那我们选这个选项一般是没有问题的。而且几乎可以保证在四级这样一个稍简单的考试当中超过半数以上的准确率。
3、复合式听写部分，尽量多写，以赢得分数。
复合式听写部分，将是全国同学最为恐惧和担心的`问题。这种题目得满分的可能性确实非常的小，但是我们要推荐的是来自《士兵突击》中非常常见的精神——不抛弃不放弃，能够多写就尽量多写一些，我们会发现未必得满分，但是你写出来就会得到相应的分数。
对于各方面基础都较差的考生，想在15天内明显提高听力也不是很现实，以上几种技巧方法只是在帮助大家在不得已的情况下，尽力获得部分听力得分。但还是希望同学能早准备、早规划，能从基础做起，踏实的做好基本功。
新英语四级考试中，英语听力的改革变动比大，虽然占比分不是很高，但是考生们还是觉得听力的难度有所上升，考生们不用怕，只要三步英语四级新闻听力一次就能够搞定啦！
一、扩大知识积累，听清关键信息
首先，要掌握相关领域内词汇的发音，如经济、政治、军事、文化类的词汇。一般新闻报道都会在开篇点题，也是我们需要重点关注的地方。
二、阅读文本，跟读纠正错误发音
一般情况下，我们常常止于第一步，听完了一篇文章对完答案就过去了，这也是我们为什么听力得不到提高的主要原因。因为有些根本问题在这篇文章中没有得到解决会一直延续到后续所有听力文章中。只有听透每一篇文章，扫清听力过程中经常出现的障碍，避免听力中容易犯的错误，才能在下一篇文章听力中有所提升。
同学们可以做完题后先自己大声朗读文本，有条件的'可以录制下来以便和听力录音相比对，看看自己哪些词汇发音有误或是对某些语音现象如连读理解有偏差。
三、跟读模仿发音
最后一步也是最为重要的一步就是要养成跟读的*惯，模仿播音员的语音语调，注意常见的语音现象，如弱读，失去爆破等。只有这样多跟读，多练*，才能提高对音节和语调的敏感度，听力能力才能得到根本提升。
——英语四级考试听力技巧通用五篇
一、理解好题意，做到心中有数
在听写考试中，我们发现不少考生由于过度紧张而忽视了题意，所以本应该完成得非常好的题从手中错过。今年Dictation考试从one to seven应填single word;从eight to ten则要求use yourown words to finish the sentence.有的考生在做第8一10个填空时，由于没弄懂题意，只想着全部听写下来，结果感到速度太快，记不下来。听写部分意思虽然理解了，也没用自己的话表达，白白地丢掉了好几分。
二、抢用短文，预测听写内容
听写的短文一般在100-200字左右，共重复三遍。考生可利用听指令前的空隙，略看一下短文，做到有的放矢。去年6月份大学英语四级考试中的听写文章：考生扫一眼便会知道是一关于policeman和他们的job的事，这样就不会措手不及，心慌意乱，影响正常水*的发挥了。
一、对话式听力类型
第一种类型中每组对话一般是在一男女之间进行的一问一答， 问题一般由先讲话的人提出，题目均以问题形式出现，其中多数的特殊疑问句。这些问题涉及的内容大致归纳如下：
(1)：问“是什么、要什么、讨论什么、什么种类”
(2)：问“做什么”
(3)：问“什么含义”
(4)：问“从对话中能获得什么信息或结论”
(5)：问“对某人某事有什么看法”
(6)：问“讲话的两人是什么关系”
第二种类型中有两个较长的对话，每个对话后设有2―4个问题，提出的问题主要问“对话可能是在? ?场所发生的” 等。如：W here does this conversation?这部分听力相对比较简单，考生从所给出的选项就可以推测出很多题在问什么，知道在对话中重点应该听什么， 什么是关键词， 从而选出正确的选项。
二、短文式听力提问方式最常见的4种类型答题技巧
1. 中心思想题：
这类问题主要是测试文章的主要思想。提问方式一般为：W hat is the passage mainly about?W hat can w e learn from this passage? What is the main：idea of the passage?等等。集中精力听好短文开头， 因为四级听力短文一般会开门见山，把中心思想置于文章的开头。
2. 事实细节题
考察细节包括具体时间、地点、主要人物、事件、各类数字等， 问题一般为：wh―questiuon形式。这种题型要求考生听到文中出现时间、数字时一定要特别敏感，及时做好笔记;文中一旦出现以因果连词(如：because，so，due to等)和转折连词(如but，however，though等)引导的句子，也要格外留心，这些地方往往就是考点。
3. 对错判断题
攻口：Which of the following is true/not tree，according to the passage? Which of the fo
llowing is not mentioned?等等。这种题型一定要听清提问， 对于有没有not一词要弄清楚，一般情况下，not一词会重读。
4. 推理推测题
这类题型需对文中信息进行分析推断，才能作出正确的选择。提问方式有：What can we infer from the passage? What does the speaker most concerned about? W hat does the speaker think about the problem?等等。
三、听写填空式听力的应试技巧
1. 理解好题意，做到心中有数
在听写考试中，我们发现不少考生由于过度紧张而忽视了题意，导致本应该得到的分从手中错过。今年Dictation考试中 从one to seven应填single word;从eight to ten则要求use your words to finish the sentence，有的考生在做第8～1 0个填空时，由于没弄懂题意， 只想着全部听写下来，结果感到速度太快，记不下来，听写部分意思虽然理解了，也没用自己的话来表达， 白白地丢掉了好几分。
2. 抢看短文，预测听写内容
听写的短文一般在100 200词左右，共重复三遍，考生可利用听正文前的空隙，略看一下短文，做到“有的放矢”。去年6月份大学英语四级考试中的听写文章， 考生只要扫一眼便会知道是一关于学生压力与父母关系的问题，这样就不会措手不及，心慌意乱，影响正常水*的发挥了。
3. 使用速记方法，从文中找出答案
学生们在听写时，往往记下了听写的第一个词，而后面的则匆匆而过，来不及填写，针对
这一问题，我认为考试中应采用速记方法，迅速记下每个听到的单词，听到的内容，不让每个单词漏网。此外，学生还出现另一种现象，就是听懂了词意，不会写单词。这种情况。考生可从上下文找找，看是否有帮助指示的地方。
当选项中出现有意思明显相反的两项时，那么正确答案必在此二项中出现。如果出现双重异项，那么即可判断出正确答案，异项保留原则在六级考试听力短对话中应用广泛。
女士保留原则
西方人的思维方式，当对话中出现女士的建议和要求时，一定要注意，这时女士说出来的话很可能就是正确选项的异意。因为女士经常以女神的形象出面，她们代表的是美好、正面、阳光的信息。
概括、抽象保留原则
当选项中出现比较概括、抽象的句子时，这时我们就要把表述事实的、具体的句子划掉，而去选择表概、抽象、比较性的句子。此原则可衍生出一个包含取大的原则，在作题时应用也是十分的广泛，一般当两个选项的意思接*时，表述比较全面的'一般为正确选项。
态度和虚拟保留原则
这两种方法一般无单独命题的规律性，只是作为上述四种宏观方法的辅助方法出现，当只剩下两个选项时，通常正态度的选项容易是正确答案，表虚拟的选项更容易是正确答案。
听力理解部分测试学生获取口头信息的能力。录音材料用标准的英式或美式英语朗读，语速四级约每分钟130词，六级约每分钟150词。听力部分分值比例为35%，其中对话占15%，短文占20%。考试时间30分钟。
对话部分包括短对话和长对话，采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。短对话有8段，每段提一个问题;长对话有2段，每段提3-4个问题;对话部分共15题。每段对话均朗读一遍，每个问题后留有13-15秒的答题时间。
短文部分包括短文理解及单词和词组听写。短文理解有3篇，采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。四级每篇长度为220-250词，六级为 240-270词。每篇短文朗读一遍，提3-4个问题，每个问题后留有13-15秒的答题时间，共10题。单词及词组听写采用1篇短文，四级的长度为 220-250词，六级为240-270词。要求考生在听懂短文的基础上用所听到的原文填写空缺的单词或词组，共10题。短文播放三遍。

听力概述
听力材料的选材原则一般基于以下三点：
一、对话部分为校园生活中的一般对话，句子结构和内容不太复杂。
二、短文部分的材料是题材熟、情节不太复杂的故事、讲话或叙述等。
三、所用词汇一般不超过教学大纲词汇表规定的范围。
一.短对话部分：
该部分一般是日常生活中的对话，即衣、食、住、行、工作、学*、生活等话题，场景可分为校园、公共场所、家庭、办公室等方面。每题1分。
问对话发生的地点和场所
提问人物关系或身份
计算类
人物的计划或打算
人物的感觉状态
交通或交通工具
请求或建议
释义、替换或上下文
人物的态度观点或考生从对话中获得的信息或结论
短对话题型：
1 . 弦外之音—“言外之意”题型
2 . 妙语连珠—观点态度题型
3 . 虚虚实实—虚拟语气题型
4 . 咬文嚼字—理解归纳题型
5 . 多姿多彩—生活场景题型
6 . 怪声怪气—语气态度题型
1.弦外之音—“言外之意”题型
这类题型难度较高，对话中的回答人并不从正面回答问题，似乎答非所问。这就需要我们运用解题的逻辑思维与推理过程，也就是通常所说的“顺藤摸瓜”方法来答题。此类题型中，一些句子的真实含义不是直截了当地摆在我们面前，而是我们根据对话中揭示的内容去寻找与其相关的其他事物以及它们之间的联系。可分为两类：陈述回答型和疑问回答型。
1)陈述回答型
例：M: I need to find a dentist; you said you know Dr. Smith well, do you recommend her?
W: Well, I had to see her a few times, but what impressed me most was the magazines in her waiting room.
Q: What does the woman im***?
A) Dr. Smith’s waiting room isn’t tidy.
B) Dr. Smith enjoys reading magazines.
C) Dr. Smith has left a good impression on her.
D) Dr. Smith may not be a good choice.
言外之意：女的丝毫不提史密斯的医术如何，只说了一些无关紧 要的'琐事，无非是暗示她的医术很烂，故不愿意向男的推荐。
2)疑问回答型
请掌握以下几种表达建议和表示反对的语句
表示建议：Why not...?
Why don’t you...?
Wouldn’t...?How about...?
表示反对：
Should...he/she/we/they...be doing...?
表示责怪的意思：Shouldn’t...?
例：W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.
M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.
Q: What does the man im***?
A) The Edwards are quite well-off.
B) The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.
C) It’ll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.
D) It’s too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.
言外之意：用问句这个结构表示说话人的反对情绪。
2.妙语连珠—观点态度题型
A) He doesn’t want Jenny to get into trouble.
B) He doesn’t agree with the woman’s remark.
C) He thinks Jenny’s workload too heavy at college.
D) He believes most college students are running wild.
分析：从男性说话中的actually一词可以听出他并不同意女性刚刚说的内容，他有自己的想法，类似的词语还有in fact，这也提醒我们，抓住短对话中的小词去揣摩说话人的态度也是非常关键的。
3.虚虚实实—虚拟语气题型
这属于一种隐性考法，用虚拟语气表达一种抱怨、后悔等情绪，主要体现虚拟语气的关键词有：if, if only, I only wish..., couldn’t have done something...without...等。
例：M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job.
W: Yes, certainly, but if only you had sent in your application letter a week earlier.
Q: What does the woman im***?
A) The man is not suitable for the position.
B) The job has been given to someone else.
C) She had received only one application letter.
D) The application arrived a week earlier than expected.
4.咬文嚼字—理解归纳题型
这类题型难度颇高，关键在于后者说话当中的生词及细节较多，考生很难在短时间内完全把握对话的实质内容，能否答对就要看自己*时的积累。
例：M: Excuse me, Madam? Is the air-conditioning on? This room is getting as hot as a furnace.
W: Sorry, sir, a new epidemic (流行病) called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventative measure (预防措施), we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not to use air-conditioners.
Q: What does the woman mean?
A) The temperature is not as high as the man claims.
B) The room will get cool if the man opens the windows.
C) She is following instructions not to use the air-conditioning.
D) She is afraid the new epidemic SARS will soon spread all over town.
5.多姿多彩—生活场景题型
总体而言,常见的短对话场景大致可分为如下三种：
1 . 学生学*生活场景
2 . 健康生活场景
3 . 交通活动场景
学生学*生活场景 考查内容
1. 对话题技巧
预读所有对话题选项。在听录音前，我们必须先浏览一下题目的四个选项，这是做好对话题的前提。童鞋们可以通过分析四个选项结合自己的猜想，就可以对对话所涉及的话题有个大体的了解并带着问题去听力，这样就能把注意力集中在对话中的关键信息点，从而减轻对听力的负担。
把握关键词和关键句。在听力的过程中，我们应该把握一些关键词和关键句。首先要注意听表示转折关系的词汇，比如but、however、unfortunately、unexpectedly、to tell the truth等。其次要注意关键句，在对话题中，往往会有一些表示建议或劝告的语句，比如“Why…?”“Why not…?”“Why don’t you/we…?”“It would be better to do...”“Wouldn’t it be better to do…?” 等等这类关键词和关键句之后往往都是考点所在，所以我们要加以重视哦。
判断相关场景。四级听力常考的场景有：学*、工作、天气、医院、租房、娱乐、餐馆、选课场景等。通过对话判断出相关的场景有利于考生在解题时提高解题正确率。在这里笔者也提醒童鞋们，由于英语是一种 模式化的语言，在固定的场景中，其词汇和表达也相对比较固定，所以我们应在*时多积累一些场景中的高频词汇和*惯表达，这样能更好的提高听力理解能力。
2. 短文理解
①重两头轻中间。往往一篇文章的开头就是全文的主题思想句，即便不是主题句也包含了很多重要的考点信息，理解这些信息有利于我们把握整篇文章的思路和去向。而结尾部分通常又是整篇文章的`总结句，概括和归纳了全文的中心。所以我们在听短文理解这部分的录音时，一定要抓住文章的开头和结尾哦。
② 注意标志性细节。听力中出现的时间、数字、地点等信息以及表示原因和转折关系的词汇和句子经常是标志性的出题点所在。我们在听的时候要特别留意这些细节并且做好笔记哦。
3. 复合式听写
听写前迅速浏览全文。在这部分的听力录音播放前，我们应快速浏览一下全文，掌握文章的大概内容。在浏览全文时，要重点理解文章的首尾几句话。如果时间充裕，我们还可以快速观察一下空格前后的一些语法信息，从中判断空格处应填单词的词性、单复数、时态以及语态等信息。
以听为主、以记为辅。童鞋们在记录信息时要有所侧重和取舍，应重点记那些支撑句子结构的主要成分，即主语、谓语和宾语，而一些虚词（冠词、助动词等）则可省略不记。

13. B The 6:30 one
14. C The time on the train is enjoyable
15. A Reading newspapers.
Passage One
Most American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as much information as possible from the first or second reading.
An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it's important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Don't mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time.
16. What should American college students do to cope with their heavy reading assignments?
17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a textbook?
18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?
Passage Two
The thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!
Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all.
19. What is taken for granted by most people?
20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?
21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessness?
Passage Three
Hetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.
22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?
23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?
24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?
25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?

让我们在电脑普及的今天，谈一谈电脑给我们带来了什么。
参考例文：
With the rapid development of com*r, com*rs are becoming growing popular among people all over the world. And the popularity of using com*r is increasing year by year. It is obvious that the com*r is playing an important role in our daily life.
Due to the comprehensive applications of the Com*r, it has been gradually taking place of human beings in some areas. Such as people can use com*rs to compose, purchase goods, or hold meetings. What’s more, com*r can greatly improve people’s working efficiency. However, every coin has its two aspects. Com*r also brings some disadvantages. For example, since com*r games now have been prevalent among students, they almost spend more than 6 hours for entertainment on com*r, and not study any more. Besides, many people now favor talk with their friends on line, and they meet less frequently than ever before. As a consequence, the lack of speaking leads to their terrible expression.
To sum up, we are supposed to keep balance between entertainment and study, make the best use of its good aspect to get further more improvement.
Directions:
Write a composition entitled Save the Energy Resources. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chiness.
1.现在很多能源资源面临枯竭;
2.阐述能源资源、枯竭的后果;
3.节约能源资源的`建议。
Save the Energy Resources
Recently,it is reported that oil price in the intemational market has been skyrocketing drastically.In China, many traditional mineral cities in northeastem China has run into predicament,with their economy collapsed and workers unemployed,only because coal has been mined out.
Unlike sunlight,water and wind,fossil energy resources,including coal,oil and gas,are not practically reproductive during human history. Once consumed,they’re gone forever.If they were to be exhausted before we could find sufficient resources to replace them,we would have to live in entire blackout again,which is of course not what we would like to see.
Therefore,we must economize on energy resources.New techniques should be developed and applied to reduce energy consumption in industry and daily life.Altemative energy should be employed wherever possible. Any practice that wastes energy should be eradicated.(140 words)
据报道，最*国际市场的石油价格大幅飘升。在*，东北部的许多传统煤炭城市经济崩溃、工人失业，城市陷入困境，仅仅是因为煤被开采得枯竭了。
不像阳光、水和风，化石能源资源，包括煤、石油和天然气，在人类历史上其实都不是可再生的。一旦被消耗了，它们就永远消失了。如果在我们能够找到足够的能代替它们的资源之前，它们就消耗完了，我们会再次陷入全面停电的局面，这当然是我们不愿意看到的。
因此，我们必须节约能源资源。应该研发出新技术，将其应用在工业和日常生活中减少能源消耗上。在任何可能的地方都应该使用可替代能源。任何浪费能源的行为都应该被根除。
Free admissions to museums
1、越来越多的博物馆现在免费向公众开放，目的是。
2、有的人认为这样做会带来一些问题。
3、在我看来。
本次四级考试作文题目较为简单，而且对于考生来说较为熟悉，与20xx年1月的四级考试的作文题目大学校园能否向游人开放极其类似，表面上属于社会类话题，实际上属于社会热点现象，但是从深层次分析，依然与我们大学生有密切关系，话题难度不大。进一步体现了作文题目的校园性与社会性的有机结合，还是侧重对于考生基本功的考查和测试。下面就题材和体裁两方面进行点评。
具体来说，首先在题材上，没有违背四级考试常考的与大学生生活相关，兼顾社会热点的原则，也在我们点点英语四级教学团队的授课范围之中，尤其是我们在临考前给出的冲刺预测作文中的句型和短语全部可以用在本次作文中，但又体现了细微变化，从上次四级考试的关注白色污染，到这次的关注博物馆免费开放来看，命题重点悄悄的由原来侧重于校园中的学*类话题和校园中的'学生的课余娱乐方面的话题向与大学生的社会生活有关的话题转移，这个话题对于广大考生来说并不陌生，当代大学生几乎都有去过博物馆的经历，肯定对于本话题有话可说，但是是否能顺利完成，依然取决于考生*时对英语中各类表达的积累和熟练程度，这比押题来得更重要，更有价值，这一点值得未来的考生注意。
Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students may fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and athletes may fail in competitions. Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various. Some people don’t think their failure is a very important thing at all. So they pay no attention to it.
As a result, they will have the same failure a period later. Some people think themselves are fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure. Consequently, they spend their time and energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought.
Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. After hard work, they will be successful in the end. It is said that failure is the mother of success. Success will be gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawing lesson from our failures. In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure.
It has been said that when people succeed,it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success．Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people,I must disagree with this statement．It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success．For example,many important discoveries have been made by accident．There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device．
Furthermore,there is something to be said for sim* being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity．And of course,there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success．
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored,this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work．If one is willing to work hard,I believe that success will eventually be achieved,with or without the added benefit of luck．Moreover,hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter．If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills,he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along．Therefore,my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success．Instead,work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity．
it can be discerned that the american students prefer to read the popular novel rather than other kind of books, such as the nonpopular (unpopular) novel, the books of technology, poem and so on. the percentage of the popular novel current(currently) is about 68.2%. other kind of novels current(currently) is, reletively (relatively), about 16.8%, 8.3%, and 5.2%.
it is not hard to think out why the popular novels can attract so many students. the popular novel is interesting, and not so abstract as books that full of the mathmatic formulate(mathematic formulae). however, as university students, study is the first task for us to do. so we should pay more attention to the books about our major. fictions may color our life, but it can not be the key part of our studying life.
personally, i would like to spend my free time in reading books about my major, such as technology digests, com*r newspaper... because i want do to(删掉) a good job in my subjects. fortunately, my dreams come true, meanwhile, i ve gained other things--i found(have founded)a solid basic knowledge about my major(加破折号)make me feel easy to contrive the electronic circuit which have to be done during our bachelor years. thanks to those books!

第一，复*与自身兴趣结合，利用闲散时间。
很多考生在复*过程中，开始几天积极性高、主动性强，抱着词汇书按计划每天背单词、做*题，可是时间长了就难免产生厌倦情绪，感到备考枯燥无味，效率下降。
这个时候其实只要稍微改变一下复*方式，就能轻松地备考。比如，把业余爱好和四六级复*相结合，会在阅读和背单词上产生巨大的效果。喜欢看小说的同学，*时看中文小说，这个时候就改看中英文对照的。看的时候注意关注每个作者的用词偏好，这些书中常常会反复出现某些常看但难记的单词，或某个单词的多项用法，而一词多用恰巧是复*四六级单词的一个重点。爱看体育新闻、时尚杂志的同学也可以试着多看英语新闻，看电视的英语频道，从这些渠道来关注日常生活，在这样的情景下学*会变得更容易。
第二，听力材料浑身是宝，精读、背诵得高分。
四六级听力题的原文是考试中最简单的一部分，其中的小对话，场景真实、用语地道，是复*时可以拿来使用的.好资料，把它作为备战四六级的突破口。考生可以每天抽出一段时间，将历年英语四级真题听力中的对话进行跟读、背诵，熟读每一个句子，首先对口语就会有很大提高，其次，听力原文里无论是对话还是语段，都会有生词出现，对于这些词汇，考生如果能做到一听就懂，放在阅读中自然是没有问题，很多*时背了几遍也记不住的单词就迎刃而解了，不仅掌握它的意思，还懂得如何去应用在句子中，词汇量会大幅度扩大。由此可见，四六级听力原文其实浑身上下都是宝，好好利用会令考生获益多多。
第三，提高听力绝招：坚持反复做听写。
这个方法新东方在线在辅导中多次尝试过，收效良好。即考生专门准备好一段听力录音，不看文字答案，也不看选项，直接一句一句的听写。听不懂、写不出来的地方反复听两到三遍，实在写不出来的先放在一边，留出空格。一套题听写完毕再总体对一下答案，勾出错误的和没有写出来的部分，这个时候再回想一下当时没有听写出来或听写错误的原因，是由于单词连读、弱读的问题，还是由于口音的差别，还是单词拼写不正确，然后对照着修改过的重新再听一次，这时注意之前错的地方着重听。一套题可以反复这样练*，直到自己完全没有错误为止。真题的听力语速、材料、词汇与考试最符合，所以切记此方法一定要用历年英语四级真题听力。
考生应该把英语融入到日常生活中，循序渐进地真正提升英语水*，不要过分地将它看作考试，以*常心对待，挖掘到学*的乐趣，自然能顺利通过考试。
In this picture, we can tell that the son is talking to his father about his concern about the nuclear waste. His father told him that if he can empty the dustbin first, he can do anything. This is an easy but very important story, telling us that we have to focus on things around our daily life first, and then the things great enough in the world.
In our daily life, it is very common to find some people that talk about their great minds on topics that far away from their lives. However, they provide little concern on staffs that around their own daily lives. These people are usually not very successful because their minds are beyond their grasp. To this end, students who want to be a better man, have to know that one can become greater and greater if they can complete things around their daily life well one by one. They may stand on the top of the mountain in the society finally.
Due to the wide use of com*rs and the development of Internet, more and more people like to chat on the Internet. We tend to pay more attention to electronic communication than to face-to-face contact.
As electronic communication is not limited by space, we can chat with others where there is Internet with our tools such as com*rs, mobile phones and pads. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an important role in our communication, but the electronic communication cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and warmth, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us than just words through electronic communication.
Therefore, though electronic communication brings convenience to our life, I still don’t think the electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact.
——大学英语四级作文 (菁华5篇)
In China, there’s a saying that "The landscape of Guilin tops that of any other place under heaven." In light of this, I will recommend Guilin as the first destination of my foreign friend’s trip to China.
Overlooking the Li Jiang River, Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi. The name was derived from the cassia trees of the location. The trees line the streets of the town with yellow flowers blossoming every September, filling the air with sweet scent. Guilin is a place of breath-taking scenery. From ancient times, Guilin has been noted for its elegant landscape. It features beautiful mountains, clear rivers, grotesque rocks andmystic crags, which is a feast for the eyes. Sitting on a bamboo raft drifting down the river, visitors can see the varied shapes of the pinnacles reflected in the water. They will feel as if they were in a scroll of Chinese landscape painting.I believe that my foreign friend will marvel at the unparalleled beauty of Guilin.
Nowadays, more and more people are exchanging a great variety of imformation by using electronic mails instead of traditional ways of mailing letters. Some people think that e-mail makes relationships among people closer, while some others maintain that makes people drift apart.
Those who hold the former opinion insist that the appearence of e-mail makes communication quicker and more convenient. By e-mail people can deliver more information including pictures and sounds. However, some others think e-mail with the same format and printfont includes less emotion, then traditional letters written by hand. Most people use e-mails to deliver information instead of feelings.
From my point of view, e-mail does bring great convenience for people, but it is not a better way to express our feelings than traditional letters. Our hand-writing on the paper can deliver much emotion. Therefore, when you want to express your love and care to someone, writing a letter to her or him by hand is a wise choice.
Free admissions to museums
1、越来越多的博物馆现在免费向公众开放，目的是。
2、有的'人认为这样做会带来一些问题。
3、在我看来。
本次四级考试作文题目较为简单，而且对于考生来说较为熟悉，与20xx年1月的四级考试的作文题目大学校园能否向游人开放极其类似，表面上属于社会类话题，实际上属于社会热点现象，但是从深层次分析，依然与我们大学生有密切关系，话题难度不大。进一步体现了作文题目的校园性与社会性的有机结合，还是侧重对于考生基本功的考查和测试。下面就题材和体裁两方面进行点评。
具体来说，首先在题材上，没有违背四级考试常考的与大学生生活相关，兼顾社会热点的原则，也在我们点点英语四级教学团队的授课范围之中，尤其是我们在临考前给出的冲刺预测作文中的句型和短语全部可以用在本次作文中，但又体现了细微变化，从上次四级考试的关注白色污染，到这次的关注博物馆免费开放来看，命题重点悄悄的由原来侧重于校园中的学*类话题和校园中的学生的课余娱乐方面的话题向与大学生的社会生活有关的话题转移，这个话题对于广大考生来说并不陌生，当代大学生几乎都有去过博物馆的经历，肯定对于本话题有话可说，但是是否能顺利完成，依然取决于考生*时对英语中各类表达的积累和熟练程度，这比押题来得更重要，更有价值，这一点值得未来的考生注意。
One morning I got up very early and everything around was very quiet. Trees,grasses,and sidewalks were still covered with fresh dew. The sun was just rising out of the horizon, emitting streaks of red hue through clouds. I thought that I was an early bird and could enjoy the fresh air of the early morning alone. Taking a walk in the park and breathing fresh air was the idea. Therefure,I began to walk towards the park. However, when I arrived at the park, I fimnd, to my surprise, that there were so many people there. Men and women of all ages were taking exercise in various ways. Some were doing morning exercises,while others were jogging up and down the gravel path around the lake. Young people were playing tennis. Elderly people were playing sword or practising shadow boxing. Dee* moved by what I saw, I joined them. While chatting with them I became aware of the advantages of physical exercises. They are conducive to health, stimulating blood circulation, decelerating aging and prolonging life. Therefore, it is obvious that taking early morning walks makes a man healthy and wise.
in my opinion, the driver of benz auto should be blamed on(for) the traffic accident. it was his drunk driving that resulted in this accident.
it is not(no) doubt that the traffic accident is a high(hot) topic in the modern(modern) society, different people have different attitude (attitudes) to this.

From Learning English, this is In the News.
Nouri al-Maliki said Thursday that he would leave his position as prime minister of Iraq. His decision opened the way for Haider Jawad al-Abadi to take Mr. Malikis place.
Former colleagues describe Mr. Abadi as a good speaker and a direct person who is open to the ideas of others. He will need strong qualities. Among the issues facing the new prime minister are extremist militancy, religious division and political dis*s.
The man now responsible for leading Iraq out of crisis was born in Baghdad. But he has lived much of his life outside the country. For example, he worked in Britain as an advisor in the engineering industry until the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.
His family suffered under the rule of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Saddams government arrested two of Mr. Abadis brothers in 1980 for their association with the Dawa Party and executed them two years later. In 1981, the government arrested a third brother for the same reason. That brother survived. But he spent 10 years in prison.
Mr. Abadi also was involved in the Dawa Party while in London. He served as an active party leader in exile.
He returned home to enter politics after Saddam was ousted from leadership. As communications minister, Mr.Abadi rebuilt telephone systems that had been destroyed by war. He also brought the first mobile and Internet communications services into the country.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators announced Tuesday that they have agreed to an extended ceasefire after seven weeks of deadly fighting in Gaza.
The ceasefire took effect at 7 p.m. local time . Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas announced the truce from his headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Egypt organized the truce. It calls for Israel to ease its blockade of Gaza. The agreement will permit shipments of humanitarian aid and building materials for repair and reconstruction in Gaza. The two sides will continue talks about Israels demand that Hamas militants surrender their weapons.
The United States said it strongly supports the truce.
Over 2,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and more than 60 Israelis were killed in the almost two month long conflict.
Belarus Meeting Fails to End Fighting in Ukraine
Ukraines President Petro Poroshenko and Russias President Vladimir Putin met in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, Tuesday. They failed to reach agreement about the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Mr. Poroshenko said the conflict would end with a secure border for Ukraine. He said there must be a block to transports of arms from Russia to the rebels.
Mr. Putin demanded that Russia be permitted to meet with the rebels and sup* humanitarian aid.

——大学英语四级阅读技巧通用五篇
大学英语四级阅读理解经验技巧
1、先去看英语阅读中的问题和答案，对于重要的词语做上标记，并写上词语的意思，然后回到原文中去匹配。如果原文中哪一段包含的关键词与题干中划出的关键词的匹配度越高，那么那一段为正确答案段的概率也就越高。
2、快速阅读文章第一、二段，抓住文章大意、背景，因为作者一般会在文章开头几段概述全文。所以在开头的时候先去弄明白文章大致讲了什么意思，对全文来说帮助会很大。
3、找到问题的答案的时候再三确认，缩小阅读范围，直到找出正确的答案。
4、仔细阅读是缺少不了的，我们在做题的时候，经常会用到排除法，有时候在阅读题里面会有一些干扰的答案，对于不太确定的时候，我们再回到原文章去找答案。
大学英语四级备考的5条经验
一、词汇
词汇是基础，英语要想拿高分，一定要背单词，除了背单词或者手册外，可以通过做真题积累一些高频词汇，记在笔记本上，以便能够时常翻看，一些单词书上如果有例句的话，可以在例句中背单词，还可以积累一些同义替换的词语，在写作或翻译时常会用到。
如果出现下面两种情况一定要好好背单词，比如，阅读时是不是因为不认识的单词太多而不理解文章意思，还有，在写作文时，是不是想好句子但是想不起对应词汇，如果词汇量不太够的话一定要好好背单词，因为单词是英语复*的基础。
在考前一周内，一定要将单词再系统的背一遍，如果有问题还可以再背一下例句。
二、听力
要针对听力题型进行练*，每次都进行针对练*，但是一定要在规定的时间内做完，听力最重要的是要注意力集中，然后保证练*量，先看选项，用笔标出重点，在做对话题时简单做笔记。
三、阅读
长阅读看选项，找出关键词，再在原文中找答案。在规定的时间内答题，仔细阅读的话有些先看全文，有些先看选项。我基本两种都能用，不过更多的是先看全文。勉强改变自己的*惯，但是建议固定用一种方式，这样考试时也能得心应手。我觉得最难的还是选词填空。不过通过练*还是能有所进步的。我一般是先过一遍，了解文章大意，然后把最有把握的填上，接下来根据词义填。
四、翻译
考前要多准备一些词汇，一些传统文化或者社会科技类，可以背一些高级词汇来进行替换。可以将长句变短句，进行句型替换。
五、作文
喜欢写作文的同学，可以多练练作文，不想写作文的同学可以多看看范文。然后多背背作文模板。
英语阅读题四种题型
一、猜测文章某一段中一个单词或者一个短语的意思，这种题解题需要对本段的段意和单词上下句有充分的理解，整个段落都必须读熟，可以尝试用其他单词替换，尝试用自己语言揣摩词意。
二、段落或者文章主旨大意，每篇文章，最最重要的是首段和末段，大多数情况下，从首段和末段就可以了解文章的整体表达思想，所以，读懂这两个段落至关重要，而每个段落，最重要的也是首句和末句，英文文章最大的特点是引入正题和收束全文，所以做主旨大意题需要对首末把握好，进行研究。
三、推断题，这种题最为困难，最难理解，题目中经常会出现的标志有：suggest建议、infer推断、indicate暗示等等之类的单词，做这种题，切忌以偏概全，融入自己的思想，需要对要求推断的部分进行深刻的理解，吃透文章大意。题目答案往往也需要从上下文去推测，建议使用排除法，找不出来最合适的，就排除不合适的，最终确定答案。
四、细节题，或者给文章找合适的标题，这类题最考验考生对文章的熟练程度，做题时这种题应该留到最后，一篇文章，只有读完后，才对文章的中心思想有充分的了解，需要对文章的关键部分精读之后，再确定答案，首先，需要了解每个段落的中心思想，畅读全文，联系结尾段，总结全文，选择是也要运用排除法，准确判断，从大众的角度去评判，切忌先入为主。
阅读部分题型分析
接着来解析一下各题型的解题方法和注意事项。
1、选词填空题
快速浏览全文，了解文章主题，根据语法和词汇搭配选词填空，对大多数同学来说，这道题对阅读理解能力和词汇的运用能力要求较高，这是性价比最低的一道题，也是阅读里最难提升的，建议大家不要花太多时间抠这项题，把时间留给后面的快速阅读和阅读理解得分率会更高,因此建议大家按【信息匹配题→仔细阅读题→选词填空】的顺序依次做题。
解题方法：
①划出选项词性，分析所缺词的词性;
②代入语境选词义符合的;
③搭配题可用排除法。(即标出、分析、代入、排除)
先给选项中所给的词的标上词性的缩写字母，如n、v、a、等，然后浏览上下文了解大意，分析该句子所缺词汇的词性，找到匹配的选项。也有选项有好几个词性，这时要把自己知道的词性都标出来。然后再根据上下文语境，带入原文判断所选词意是否相符。搭配题则需要*时多积累多辨析，有印象的话一眼就能选出正确选项，没印象的话就用排除法。
注意：先把确定的选项选完，剩下的不确定的题不要过于纠结，实在不会就跟着直觉走吧，这里不需要花费太多时间。
2、信息匹配题
该题型阅读量大，不少同学都反映“看不完”、“太多看不下去”。但是这也意味着，相比仔细阅读题，信息匹配题无需深入理解，了解文章及段落大意即可，对阅读理解能力的要求不及快速阅读那么高。所以大家不要怕，这道题若是掌握了正确的方法，就能节约大量时间!
解题方法：
①先看题干圈出关键词;
②浏览全文找关键词或同义替换词(先匹配数字、时间、地点、专有名词等容易找到的);
③由关键词定位到相应段落中;
④重新浏览检查一遍。
注意：
⑴匹配完记得按照已选顺序浏览检查一遍，看看是否读的通。这一步对于信息匹配很重要，因为段落之间排序都是骨肉相连的，错了1个就可能连着错2个3个。
⑵一定一定要记得先看题目，并圈出每个选项的关键词。但是不能用表达中心思想的主题词去定位，因为文章通篇讲的都是它，这样会扩大选择范围。
⑶若是很难记住题干中的所有段落的关键词，那就退而求其次，先记住前面4-5个，减少记忆量，不然后面会把自己弄晕。
然后再到全文中快速浏览找到关键词或同义替换词。(六级文章中同意替换词比较多，需要注意题文不同的关键词的匹配，收集常见搭配。)
⑷有的快速阅读文章里有小标题，利用小标题就能快速定位到相关段落快速找到答案，这类题型一般都是送分题，得分率比较高，不过也有那种变态的，看起来简单实际上有陷阱等你，需要大家小心一点~~
3、仔细阅读
这部分是分值最大，也是大家最关心最熟悉的内容，就不介绍啦~
解题方法：
①看题目不看选项;
②提取题干关键词(或同意替换词);
③关键词定位到原文;
④结合定位段落的上下文，仔细阅读后选择。
注意：
⑴看题目时，请记住：千万不要看选项!因为每道题的选项有4个，5道题就有20个，你还要记题干内容，几秒钟的时间咱不能奢求记住那么多信息，不然题干选项都会记叉，不但没有达到“预读题干”的目的，反而增加了混淆的几率，何苦呢?
那么关键词要看题干中的那些信息呢?——一般看5w1h(what，who，where，when，why，how)，也就是我们语文阅读类似的“时间地点人物、起因经过结果”。
⑵一般情况下，题目与文章的顺序一致。不过也有命题老师不按套路，把观点题设置在前两题里。这是我们也只能“以其人之道还治其人之身”，换个玩法不按他的顺序做题。但凡是与观点和主题相关的都留着最后才答，不然可能掉入“判断片面”的陷阱里。
⑶题干的前三个问题大多都是互不干扰且按文章顺序排列的细节题，所以也可以不用先浏览全文，而是划关键词之后直接浏览全文，根据关键词或同义替代词定位所在段落，定位准确之后，仔细读懂后进行选择。后面几题多半多半与主题题和观点题，则需要浏览全文，get文章主旨后再做题。
⑷、一切毫无根据的'推测，都是yy。一切选择都需要建立在对文章的理解至上，而不是把你的惯性思维代入作者想表达的意思中，千万不要想太多。
大学英语四级阅读技巧一：养成二次阅读*惯，培养逻辑推理能力
在做英语四级阅读题目时，非常重要的一点就是要提高逻辑推理能力。在*时阅读练*中，第一遍读文章时，我们应当模拟英语四级考试的紧张气氛，尽量高质快 速。对完答案后，我们就有充足的时间再次阅读文章，第二次阅读文章的目的不再是获取信息，而是把握文章的布局安排，分析作者的意图。
我们必须 带着思考再次阅读文章，问问自己以下问题：如果自己写同样题目或题材的文章，会采取何种文章布局？如果我们自己设想的布局与作者不同，那么具体不同之处在 何处？这篇文章与以前读过的同体裁文章相比，有何特点？讲求速度的泛读是应试的技巧，要想真正培养逻辑推理能力，提高阅读水*，还非二次阅读不可。文章是 永远读不完的，去读200篇各种模拟阅读题，倒不如踏踏实实读50篇地道的文章。
大学英语四级阅读技巧二：自己学写长句，克服长难句障碍
几乎每一篇阅读，总有一两句长难句。有许多同学分析不出什么名堂。听力好的同学不一定发音好，可发音好的同学不一定听力好。同样，能写出长难句的'人当然不会怕什么长难句。
我们应当找一本好的语法书，认认真真学*句子结构部分。一开始，应当学会如何写出简单的基本句型，然后再通过附加各种从句、插入语、非谓语形式，来逐步扩充句子结构。
分析长难句与扩充句子正好是反其道而行之，我们一步步“砍”去插入语、各种从句、非谓语形式，来获得句子主干。“欲简之必先扩之”，我们与其寻求各种长难句分析法，不如先学会自己写长句，逐步掌握英语四级应试技巧。
大学英语四级阅读技巧三：文章归类阅读，考前复*有奇效
阅读文章成千上万，如何把握规律才是关键。如果我们把自己读过的所有文章按照主题分类，比如分为校园类、医学类、家庭类、环境类等等，到了考前，再按类 别复*这些文章，我们就不仅能系统掌握某一类别文章常用的词汇，也能把握该类文章的结构特点和出题规律。一开始就制定分类标准，每做完一篇文章就在其标题 后或首句前注明文章的类别，这样到了英语四级考试之前就胸有成竹，归纳起来也容易多了。
排除原则一： 排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项
态度相反原则，即选项所述主题与原文正好相反或态度不一致，可立即排除。
如2010年6月的四级考试阅读理解题目中，有一道题困扰了很多考生。
Passage 2 Q64： What does the author mean by "… you're just underlining his faults" (Line 4, Para. 3)?
原文相关句：If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults.
题目选项：
A) You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.
B) You are pointing out the errors he has committed.
C) You are emphasizing the fact that his is not intelligent.
D) You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.
这道题目很多同学会因为faults一词而误选了选项D)。我们严格应用排除法来做题目，则可避免这一错误。原文相关句主题 underline one's faults，意为"强调某人的错误"。
先来关注各选项动词：A) not take … seriously没有严肃认真的对待，与原文相反，排除;B)point out指出错误，保留;C) emphasize强调，保留;D) try to make sb. feel better让某人感觉更好，与强调错误这一主题相反，排除。在此基础上，再应用主题相关原则做排除，B)选项提及指出某人所犯的错误(errors)，C)选项说强调他不聪明(not intelligent)，原文表述he has the potential of an Einstein(有爱因斯坦先生的潜质)，没有提到犯错误，因此正确答案为C)。
排除原则二：排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项
主题一致性，是排除法的第一要义。很多题目，仅仅通过主题不一致原则就可以排除得出正确答案。
句子主题，通常体现在名词或动词上。因此审题和排除选项时，首先要关注句子中的核心名词和动词，找寻题目与选项的一致性。
例如上文提及的2011年12月Passage2 Q63：What does the author mean by saying 'money is known… to bring a relationship to its knees' (Line 1 Para.2)?
原文相关句：Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful.
题目选项：
A) Money is considered to be the root of all evils.
B) Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.
C) Few people can resist the temptation of money.
D) Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.
原文相关句主题为money和relationship之间的关系。
据此来考察各个选项：A) 提到money和evil(邪恶)之间的关系，主题不一致，排除。B) 提到人们的尊严(dignity)的问题，主题不一致，排除。C) 提到抵挡(resist)钱的诱惑(temptation)，主题不一致，排除。只有D) 选项提到了money和relationship的关系，保留为正确答案。
对于难度稍大些的题目，可以多次叠加应用"主题相关"原则做排除。
如2011年12月Passage2 Q65：What does Kim Stephenson believe?
本题目利用Kim Stephenson回原文找寻相关句，为第三段落首句：Kim Stephenson, an occupational
psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women. 原文相关句可提取出如下主题：a big deal, symbolize, different things to men and women。
题目选项：
A) Money is often a symbol of a person's status.
B) Money means a great deal to both men and women.
C) Men and women spend money on different things.
D) Men and women view money in different ways.
通读选项发现，A)含有symbol，B)提到a great deal，C)和D)都提及了different things/ways。因此，必须利用选项中其他主题词做第二轮排除：A)选项提到person's status(社会地位)，原文原句并未提及任何个人背景问题，排除;B)选项both men and women与原文所述different things to men and women不同，排除;C)提及spend money，原文未提到，排除。因此，最终答案为D)。D)选项中view money in different ways含义为"用不同的方式看待钱"，原文句义为"钱对于男人和女人所代表的(symbolize)的东西是不同的'"。可见，两句虽转换了描述方式，但基本含义是相同的。
排除原则三：排除用语过于极端或负面的选项
四级阅读文章来源多为学术性的报纸期刊，其语言的一大特征是客观性和严谨性，因此鲜少出现极端或过于负面信息的表达。如果题目选项中出现明显的极端选项，可以直接排除。
例如上文提到的2011年12月Passage2 Q63中的A)、C)两个选项也可以利用极端原则直接排除：A)选项Money is considered to be the root of all evils.(钱是万恶之源)，C)选项Few people can resist the temptation of money.(没人能抵挡得住钱的诱惑)，都是过于极端和负面的信息。
再如2012年6月四级考试Passage 1 Q61：What can be inferred from the last paragraph? 本文依然讨论的是经济衰退给家庭关系带来的问题。
题目选项为：
A) The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate.
B) Few couple can stand the test of economic hardships.
C) A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
D) Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage.
精读选项发现，B) 几乎没有那个家庭可以经历经济困难的考验，过于极端和负面，排除;D) 钱才是很多幸福婚姻的基石，过于负面，与积极阳光的普世价值相左，排除;C) 稳定的家庭是抵御贫困的最好的保护，虽然该选项是正面信息，但是best一词的判断力度未免太过强烈。因此，初步分析，选项A) 似乎更加靠谱。而回归原文验证后发现，文章末段结尾句恰恰表达了选项A) 对应的含义：So it's only when the economy is healthy again that we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created. 只有当经济复苏之后，我们才能够看出到底有多少家庭破裂了。选项A) 意为"经济的复苏将见证离婚率的上升"。二者为简单的同义改写。
排除原则四：注意结合文章主旨和主题做排除
在解答个别较困难的题目时，除了应用以上排除原则外，还可以结合全文主旨和主题来排除选项作答，有时可大大简化做题的难度。例如2011年6月四级考试Passage1 Q60：What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?
原文相关句："One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
题目选项：
A) Students of different races are required to share room.
B) Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.
C) Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.
D) The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
首先，C)选项without exception与原文相关句表述"with some exceptions"正好相反，排除。在剩余三个选项中做判断时，可以参考全文主题。主题句通常在文章开头：Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also, to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict. 从开头句可看出，全文讨论的主题是"随机给不同种族的同学安排宿舍"的问题。再结合原文相关句中the process throws you together randomly，对于"随机"一词的重复印证，可以做出排除，选择答案D)。而其他两选项也可通过主题相关原则做排除：A)选项的be required(被要求共用宿舍)，原句未提及;B)选项arranged by the school(由学校安排)，原文也未明确提出安排宿舍的主体。
大学英语四级阅读技巧一：养成二次阅读*惯，培养逻辑推理能力
在做英语四级阅读题目时，非常重要的一点就是要提高逻辑推理能力。在*时阅读练*中，第一遍读文章时，我们应当模拟英语四级考试的紧张气氛，尽量高质快 速。对完答案后，我们就有充足的时间再次阅读文章，第二次阅读文章的目的不再是获取信息，而是把握文章的布局安排，分析作者的意图。

几乎每一篇阅读，总有一两句长难句。有许多同学分析不出什么名堂。听力好的同学不一定发音好，可发音好的同学不一定听力好。同样，能写出长难句的人当然不会怕什么长难句。
我们应当找一本好的语法书，认认真真学*句子结构部分。一开始，应当学会如何写出简单的基本句型，然后再通过附加各种从句、插入语、非谓语形式，来逐步扩充句子结构。
分析长难句与扩充句子正好是反其道而行之，我们一步步“砍”去插入语、各种从句、非谓语形式，来获得句子主干。“欲简之必先扩之”，我们与其寻求各种长难句分析法，不如先学会自己写长句，逐步掌握英语四级应试技巧。
大学英语四级阅读技巧三：文章归类阅读，考前复*有奇效
阅读文章成千上万，如何把握规律才是关键。如果我们把自己读过的所有文章按照主题分类，比如分为校园类、医学类、家庭类、环境类等等，到了考前，再按类 别复*这些文章，我们就不仅能系统掌握某一类别文章常用的词汇，也能把握该类文章的结构特点和出题规律。一开始就制定分类标准，每做完一篇文章就在其标题 后或首句前注明文章的类别，这样到了英语四级考试之前就胸有成竹，归纳起来也容易多了。
【应对策略】
1. 精读文章开头部分文字。尤其是第一句，确定本文主题。文章主旨的确定对于篇章语境的整体把握意义重大。
2. 确定各单词的基本词性。这里所说的基本词性是指该单词最常见的词性。例如，turn一般作动词，但在动词短语at the turn of the century中，它也可以用作名词。不过，其最常用的情况是作动词，那么我们就把其归于动词类。如果做题时，我们发现空格处在一个介词后面，而介词后面是宾语，即介词后面应该是名词，若其它名词不能与之搭配，我们再考虑像turn这样既能用作动词又能用作名词的单词。
3. 设定词性类别：名，动，形，副，现在分词。本次考试与历年考试一致，所涉及的词性类别只局限于上述五类，四级考试该题型中，从未涉及指代词，介词，定冠词等虚词的填写。
4. 按照各单词的基本词性将15个单词逐一分别归类。
5. 根据基本的句法常识和逻辑意义进行填写。填写时，注意，上下文是否合乎语法，句子内部各成分间的搭配是否逻辑，句子与句子之间是否连贯一致。
