聽力考試八大主考點

鄧海英

考點1 考查轉(zhuǎn)折后的信息

根據(jù)一般的交際原則,人們通常是先陳述人家的觀點或看法,然后通過轉(zhuǎn)折來陳述自己的想法。通過對歷年高考英語聽力考題的分析,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞 but 后引出的信息往往會成為考題。如:

Where did the speakers plan to go?

A. A shopping center.

B. An opera house.

C. The parking lot.

此題相應(yīng)的錄音是:

W: Did you see the purse, honey?

M: Your purse? No. Why the purse? Were not going shopping anyway.

W: I know. But our opera tickets are in it. And we have only one hour left.

M: Did you have it when we left the parking lot?

【分析】答案為 B。根據(jù)對話中 I know. But... 后 our opera tickets are in it 可知,他們是要去聽歌劇。

考點2 考查建議或看法

有時,對話的一方感到憂慮、不安,另一方提出建議,而這個建議往往就是考點,考生可不要忽視。如:

What will they do?

A. Go home. B. Ask the policeman.C. Ask the teacher.

相應(yīng)的錄音是:

W: Oh, dear. What should I do?

M: Lets go over to ask the policeman.

【分析】不難看出, 他們將去找警察, 故答案為 B。

考點3 考查對否定的理解

對“否定”的考查,主要體現(xiàn)在兩個方面:一是考查對不同的觀點、看法的理解;二是對形式否定而實則肯定的理解。如:

What does the man think of the hotel?

A. Too simple.B. Best here.C. Very poor.

相應(yīng)的錄音材料是:

W: The hotel is a little too simple.

M: However, you cant find a better one here.

【分析】從 cant...better 可知,男士認(rèn)為它在這個地方已經(jīng)是最好的了,所以答案選 B。

考點4 考查虛擬語氣的理解

虛擬語氣表示與客觀事實相反或相違背的情況,肯定的虛擬語氣表示否定的意義,而否定的虛擬語氣表示肯定的事實,對它的理解常是聽力考試的考點。如:

What happened to the man?

A. He was chosen.B. He was not chosen.

C. He would have been chosen.

相應(yīng)的錄音材料是:

M: Bad luck! I wasnt chosen.

W: Had you not made such a mistake, you would have been chosen, too.

【分析】根據(jù)聽力材料中的虛擬語氣可知答案選 B。

考點5 考查聽數(shù)字的能力

數(shù)字是聽力考試的重要方面,主要包括時間、年齡、距離、日期、年代、人數(shù)、金額、速度、價格、電話號碼、門牌號碼、車牌號碼、郵政編碼、街道號碼等。如:

How long has the woman been an author?

A. About 30 years.B. About 40 years. C. About 70 years.

相應(yīng)的錄音材料是:

M: So, Jane, how long have you been an author?

W: Well, Tom, I didnt start writing until I was in my thirtieth, and Im over seventy now. So goodness, I must have been writing for about forty years.

【分析】Jane 從三十多歲開始寫作,現(xiàn)在已七十多歲了,故當(dāng)作家有40多年了,即答案為 B。

考點6 考查對發(fā)生地點的推測

通過聽錄音猜測對話發(fā)生在什么地方,這是高考英語聽力一個非常重要的考點。這類考題的提問形式通常為Where does the conversation take place?等。如:

Where does the conversation take place?

A. In a hotel.B. At a booking office. C. At a friends house.

相應(yīng)的錄音材料是:

M: Well, well certainly stay here again next time were passing through.

W: Good. Do let us know in advance and well try to get you the same room.

M: That would be lovely. It may be quite soon in fact.

W: Oh? How is that?

M: Well. We are driving to the South of Spain in the next couple of days and we may come back this way.

W: Do give us a ring if you decide to. I hope youll have a pleasant trip.

【分析】根據(jù)錄音材料中的 stay here again 以及 get you the same room 等信息可知答案為 A。

考點7 考查對目的的理解

考查對話目的也是高考英語聽力的一個重要考點。如:

Why will the woman stay at home in the evening?

A. To wait for a call.

B. To watch a ball game on TV.

C. To have dinner with a friend.

相應(yīng)的錄音材料是:

M: We could go to a ball game this evening or would you rather eat in a restaurant and then see a film?

W: To tell you the truth, I cant really go anywhere this evening, because Im expecting an important phone call.

【分析】答案為 A。根據(jù) because Im expecting an important phone call 這一信息可知。

考點8 考查對結(jié)論的把握

某人或某事的情況以及對發(fā)生這種情況的結(jié)論都可成為聽力考試中的考點。做聽力題時,要注意對所發(fā)生情況的把握,并根據(jù)所發(fā)生情況推出相應(yīng)結(jié)論。如:

What did the boy finally get?

A. A colorful bike.B. A blue bike. C. A white bike.

相應(yīng)的錄音材料是:

W: Oh, so youve got a new blue bike after all.

M: Well, I want it a white one, not this color, but my dad bought it for me.

【分析】答案為 B。這個男孩本想要一輛白色的自行車,但他爸爸卻給他買了一輛藍(lán)色的。
