考试中的听力理解部分历来是中国学生的薄弱环节。四、六级改革后,听力部分所占比例由原来的20%升至35%,同时,近两年多所高校以机考形式进行试点,意味着考生听力能力的培养愈加重要起来。可以说听力的好坏直接影响四、六级考试成绩。
老师在讲解听力的过程中发现,其实真正在做听力题的时候,需要的英语知识只是一层外衣,有时内在逻辑能力更加重要。这一点和国外考试中的SAT和GRE中的句子填空题有点像,不同是,SAT和GRE的单词,不会就是不会。然而,四、六级听力中的单词对于学生来说相对简单,真正的难词比例非常小,故而,其实逻辑和思维能力更加重要。
现在,就如何快速提升听力,建议大家尝试按“5W”沟通基本原理,在四、六级考试中的应用加以运用,希望能够对考生英语听力测试成绩的提高有所帮助。
英语六级听力考试时,很多人没有办法听懂或听到所谓的关键词,或者无法把听到的内容连接成句子,怎么办?实际上,关键点在于,太过于关注“听”而忽略了听力考试的思维和传播本质。
“听力”作为一种能力讲,本身是一个传播的过程,信息的接收是一个重要的过程。远在1948
年,拉斯维尔于题为《传播在社会中的结构与功能》(The Structure and Function of Communication in Society)一文中首次提出了构成传播过程的五种基本要素,即着名的5W理论。这五个W分别是英语中五个疑问代词的第一个字母,即:
Who (谁)
Says What (说了什么)
In Which Channel (通过什么渠道)
To Whom (向谁说)
With What Effect (有什么效果)
听力的过程也是传播的过程,这就意味着,在听的过程,我们也需要这样的“思维经历”。实际上,在听的过程完全可以遵循这个脉络,从who入手,说话人中,重要的说话信息一般在第二说话人中,他说了什么,是我们做题的重点,即所谓的关键词。通过的途径一般有两种,conversation与paragraph,to whom 就是我们自己,而效果的考核就是我们题目。
分析至此,可以发现,即使我们空缺中间say what 的过程,也可以得到至少四个过程,而最后一个过程效果分析,是可以通过四、六级考题出现的。
所以,我们的听力考试实际上是逆向思维的过程,即了解了效果,通过效果推测原文,再将say what 过程补充出来。
例题1:CET-6,08年6月第14题:
A) The errors will be corrected soon.
B) The woman was mistaken herself.
C) The computing system is too complex
D) He has called the woman several times.
四个选项,分别告诉我们A:“这个错误很快会被纠正”;B:“这位女士自己错了”;C:“计算机体系太复杂”;D:“他给这位女士打了好几次电话”。显而易见,最后一个选项是在叙述过程,只有前三个选项是结果,而这三个选项都透露了一个信息,就是原文一定提到了一个
错误,B、C 在讨论错误点,而A告诉了我们结果,我们的倾向选项应该是A。
美容美白护肤品例题2:CET-6,05年1月第5题:
A. Janet loves the beautiful landscape of Australia very much.
B. Janet is very much interested in architecture.
C. Janet admires the Sydney Opera House very much.
D. Janet thinks it’s a shame for anyone not to visit Australia.
四个选项,A:Janet喜欢澳大利亚的美景;B:Janet对建筑感兴趣;C:Janet很向往悉尼歌剧院;D:Janet认为如果人们不去悉尼是一件遗憾的事、从选项中,我们很容易得知,这个对话中的主角是个叫Janet的人,想要传达的信息是对悉尼的感受,那么真正表示结果的是A、B、C三项,同时C刚好是A、B的交集,故而倾向选C。
希望以上方法能对大家的听力复习有所帮助,大家也可以根据自己从学习中总结出来的方法、经验来不断提升自己的听力水平。
