众所周知,在高考英语试卷中的第一个部分就是听力,占整个英语高考卷的1/5分值;由于听力长期以来是学生英语学习中的弱项,分值比例高,而且与语法、阅读等书面考试题型相比,听力考试具有极强的时间效应,听力过程不具备复制性,考生必须学会掌握一定的听力技巧,充分利用宝贵的每一分钟。
1 预测技巧
1).对话预测
在听取对话,尤其是Part A——Short Conversation时,考生可以按照下例wh-问题进行预测:
(1)Who are the two speakers?
(2)What is the possible lationship between them?
(3)When did they have the conversation?
(4)Where did the conversation take place?
(5)Why do they have the conversation?
(6)What did they plan to do?
2).语篇预测
在Part B,Longer Conversation的听力过程中,考生按下列问题展开预测:
(1)What is the topic of the passage?
(2)Who is the speaker?
(3)What facts did the speaker offer?
(4)What facts did the speaker fail to offer?
3).依靠开篇句预测
英语听力的第一句话通常会透露整篇的主题,所以考生要善于抓住听力材料的首句信息。
例如:Americans have a popular saying“Time is money。”
从这一句开篇句我们可以预测的信息范围:
(1)这是一篇关于时间的话题。
(2)涉及的对象是美国人。
4).根据打印在试卷上的听力试题内容预测。
例如:
(A)Husband and wife.
(B)Waiter and customer.
(C)Student and teacher
(D)Receptionist and guest
根据听力试题,考生可以预测到该对话肯定是侧重于对话人的身份,所以在听力过程中抓住透露双方关系的关键词即可。
