大学英语四级听力技巧
按照新的教学大纲的要求，学生在学完1-4级基础阶段的英语课程后，对所给的英语口头材料应达到一定的理解程度。对题材熟悉，内容浅于课文，基本上无生词、语速每分钟为150个单词的材料， 准确率不低于70%。
通过对历年试卷的听力部分所作的题项分析，充分表明考生听力的高低完全取决于他们是否具备了以下4个方面的基础：
一. 坚实的语言基础
二. 一定的文化背景知识
三. 基本的听力技能
四. 正确有效的听音习惯
听力材料的选材原则一般基于以下三点：
一. 对话部分为校园生活中的一般对话，句子结构和内容不太复杂
二. 短文部分的材料是题材熟情节不太复杂的故事、讲话或叙述等
三. 所用词汇不超过教学大纲词汇表规定的范围
对于占据35%的听力部分，以下最直接，最具体的考试技巧，一定会让你多份考试的信心。
（一）Short Conversations
听对话的注意事项：
1） 提前阅读选项，判断问题所属，从而集中精力于有关信息
2） 注意根据信息词汇判断地点和说话人的身份职业等
3） 注意加减运算，听到的不是答案
4） 注意记笔记，将人物、地点、时间等对号入座从语法、短语含义入手，判断隐含之意
题目序号：11-18
及格数量：5-6道 推荐准确数量：6-7题
重点场景：Airport（flight）， restaurant hotel
重点主题：Campus life， job-hutting
核心技巧：
1、后句比前句重要，回答比提问重要
2、若选项中个别单词或短语被明显播读，此项多为错项
3、最好能够听懂问题在问什么
例题：
2006年6月四级考试第9题
A．Helen is talkative B. Helen is active C. Helen is sociable D. Helen is quite
原文：
M：We’ve got three women rearchers in our group, Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know them?
W: Sure, Mary is active and sociable. Betty is the most talkative woman I’ve ever met. But guess what？Helen is just the opposite.
Q: what do we know from the conversation?
解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为D.其中，另外三项的形容词都被读到，而quite恰好是talkative与opposite组合的一个同义替换。
2008年12月四级考试第17题
A) She wants to get some sleep. B) She needs time to write a paper.
C) She has a literature class to attend. D) She is troubled by her sleep problem.
原文：
M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?
W: I'd love to, but I'm exhausted.（疲惫） I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my literature class.
Q: Why does the woman decline the man's invitation?
解析：准确答案A。用来替换I'm exhausted（疲倦），同义替换，听到的慎选。
