英语四级听力各大题型解题方法

　　复合式听写(compound dictation)

　　题目序号：36-46 所占比例：11%(前8题每题0.5%，后3题每题2%)

　　解题步骤：

　　1，利用最后一篇短文听力的问题时间及复合式听写的Directions时间预览整篇文章，锁定1-3个高频词。(高频词很可能在之后三个句子中出现)

　　2，第一遍放音时：

　　前八个单词：只写单词的前几个字母，否则会失去听到下个单词的时间。

　　后三个句子：写出首尾单词，若出现之前锁定的高频词，可只写其大写字母，节省时间。

　　3， 第二遍放音时：

　　前八个单词：补全。

　　后三个句子：补全，听到什么写什么。

　　4， 第三遍放音时：

　　前八个单词：补全

　　后三个单词：继续补全。

　　5、最后誊写时，检查名词单复数，动词的时态(可根据空格前后的动词时态判断);不会写的形容词或副词放弃;名词或动词尽量找替代词进行补全，保证所写句子结构的完整性。

　　例：2009年12月复合式听写

　　In the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be (36)classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive, and process.

　　Factual writing provides (37)background information on an author, composer or artist, or on a type of music, literature, or art. Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket or (38)album cover, and longer pieces such as an article describing a style of music, which you might read in a music (39)appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a (40)context for your study of the humanities.

　　As its name (41)implies, descriptive writing simply describes, or provides an (42)image of a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the (43)instruments a composer included in a musical composition. So estimate pictures or sounds in a reader's mind by calling up specific details of the work.(44) Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing.

　　Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about a result.　(45)It tells the reader how to do something. For example, explaining the technique to shoot a film. This kind of writing is often found in art, where understanding how an artist created a certain effect is important. (46)Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing.

　　解析：

　　(36)题录音时classified易与后面的into进行连读，造成听力难点，但考生可从空格左边的"can be"结构判断出其为被动语态结构，即使未听出过去分词，之后誊写检查时也应该自行改正。

　　(41)题同理，从空格后边的"describes"和"provides"可判断出该句子应为一般现在时，而"its name"是第三人称单数，因此imply应改为implies。

　　另：以y结尾的名词和动词的复杂变形极易在复合式听写中被考察。

　　扩充：元音字母+y结尾的名词变复数，直接+s 例：boys

　　辅音字母+y结尾的名词变复数，y改i+es 例：humanities

　　元音字母+y结尾的动词变形，直接+s/ed 例：plays/played

　　辅音字母+y结尾的动词变形，y改i+es/ed例：implies/implied

　　(44)题，若在预览题目时已经判断出Humanities, Descriptive, Critical和Writing为高频词，则该句的首尾部分在听写时可直接写为：DW in the H和CW，为第二、三遍的补全有效节省了不少时间。另，literature一类的学科名词近年来多次被考察，均为难点，所以考生平时最好多去总结记忆一些学科名词。以下是四级听力中出现过的一些学科名词难点：Literature(文学);architecture(建筑);finance(金融);economics(经济);philosophy(哲学);psychology(心理学);biology(生物);physics(物理)。

　　(45)题，难点在于两个词，technique和shoot，动词和名词若省略影响较大，考生在考试时，可把technique替换成science, skill等词，把shoot替换成make，则可提高得分率。

　　(46)题，actually是该句的难词，但其为副词，若考生不确定能不能拼写对，不如放弃，避免写错倒扣分。而稍难的imformational在之前的文章中已出现过，如预览过文章有一定印象，照抄即可。
