英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽(tīng)力與托福聽(tīng)力的比較
四級(jí)聽(tīng)力與托福聽(tīng)力之比較
對(duì)試卷6月的四級(jí)考試聽(tīng)力部分分析后,有以下兩點(diǎn)明顯的命題趨勢(shì),值得考生關(guān)注。
一、越來(lái)越接近托福考試
6月18號(hào)的四級(jí)聽(tīng)力的短對(duì)話部分至少有三道題幾乎照搬托福聽(tīng)力原題,對(duì)應(yīng)如下:
四級(jí)聽(tīng)力第2題:
W:I found an expensive diamond ring in the restroom this morning.
M:If I were you, I would turn in to the security office. It is behind the administration building.
對(duì)應(yīng)托福聽(tīng)力普林斯頓樣題三第3題
M:I found an expensive-looking ring in the locker room this morning.
W:If I were you, I would turn it in to the security office. It is behind the administration building.
四級(jí)聽(tīng)力第5題:
W:I just read in the newspaper that Lord of the Rings is this years greatest hit. Why dont we go and see it at the grand cinema.
M:Dont you think that cinema is a little out of the way?
對(duì)應(yīng)托福聽(tīng)力5月第8題:
W:Why dont we go watch the Italian film at the pine Street Cinema?
M:Its a little out of the way, dont you think?
四級(jí)聽(tīng)力第8題:
M:Do you want to go to the lecture this weekend? I hear that the guy who is going to deliver the lecture spent a year living in the rainforest.
W:Great. I am doing a report on the rain forest. Maybe I can get some new information to add to it.
對(duì)應(yīng)托福聽(tīng)力5月第4題:
M:Do you want to go to the lecture tonight over in the science auditorium? Its some guy who spent a year living in Antarctica.
W:No kidding. I am doing a report on Antarctica for my geography class. Maybe I could get some new information to add to it.
除以上三題外,本次四級(jí)聽(tīng)力考試的其他短對(duì)話或多或少的都體現(xiàn)出托福聽(tīng)力的影子,丟東西撿東西場(chǎng)景、電腦場(chǎng)景、度假場(chǎng)景以及選校場(chǎng)景都是托福聽(tīng)力的常考場(chǎng)景,其中的一些場(chǎng)景詞匯和習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)也不斷被四級(jí)聽(tīng)力所引用。從四級(jí)真題來(lái)看,聽(tīng)力話題范圍也和托福聽(tīng)力也如出一轍――校園生活。
近三年的四級(jí)聽(tīng)力考題中更加明顯的體現(xiàn)出這樣的趨勢(shì),改革后的四級(jí)試卷結(jié)構(gòu)更加接近于托福聽(tīng)力,增加的長(zhǎng)對(duì)話題型就來(lái)源于托福聽(tīng)力的part B部分,甚至改革后的四級(jí)考試記分體系都在向托福攏。
我在課上曾經(jīng)強(qiáng)調(diào),在備考四級(jí)考試聽(tīng)力部分時(shí),可以適當(dāng)參看95年8月以后的托福聽(tīng)力原文,熟悉托福聽(tīng)力場(chǎng)景,就有可能在四級(jí)聽(tīng)力考場(chǎng)上做到先知先覺(jué)。有很多同學(xué)擔(dān)心,托福考試的難度大于四級(jí),怎么可能互相借鑒?別忘了聽(tīng)力難度有一個(gè)重要的控制指標(biāo),語(yǔ)速。所以建議大家去看托福聽(tīng)力原文,而不是去聽(tīng)。
二、社科類文章越來(lái)越多
本次四級(jí)考試的三篇文章主題分別是未來(lái)的交通、英格蘭小鎮(zhèn)的文化習(xí)俗和國(guó)外的訂婚儀式,基本上都是介紹英美文化習(xí)俗的社科類文章,也就是說(shuō)四級(jí)考試中越來(lái)越多的涉及到英美文化背景,而這方面的知識(shí)也可以在托福聽(tīng)力中找到,比如:這次四級(jí)聽(tīng)力的第一個(gè)passage中提到的電動(dòng)汽車的應(yīng)用、未來(lái)交通設(shè)想等話題,托福聽(tīng)力98年1月PART C的第二個(gè)段落中就有提到。英美生活習(xí)俗的文章在托福聽(tīng)力PART C的文史類段落中都有出現(xiàn),四級(jí)考生可以把托福聽(tīng)力的段落文章作為泛讀材料。
課上講的解題技巧在本次考試中應(yīng)用依然廣泛,首句原則應(yīng)用于第11題和14題,尾句原則應(yīng)用于第13、20題,只要把握住文章的開頭和結(jié)尾,這些題目迎刃而解。中間的題目,重要的是把握考點(diǎn)句型:原因句、轉(zhuǎn)折句和對(duì)比句都是考點(diǎn),比如12題考的是文中對(duì)比句,19題考的是文中的原因句,平常訓(xùn)練時(shí)要多多留意這些考點(diǎn)句型,這樣在四級(jí)考試時(shí)就能做到有張有弛,重要的考點(diǎn)一個(gè)都不能少。
總之,四級(jí)聽(tīng)力考試在基本延續(xù)了以往的命題規(guī)律,增加了部分長(zhǎng)對(duì)話,量上看似增加了,但并沒(méi)有質(zhì)的改變。望同學(xué)能從中得以啟發(fā),最終都考出滿意的成績(jī)!
