第二大题共包含5段对话,每段对话播放两遍,每段对话后有一个问题。考生听完对话后10秒内口头回答问题并完成录音。这种包含听与说的题型除要掌握基础知识与拥有良好语音语调外,考生还有什么好的应对策略呢?下面,笔者通过例题加以说明。
此类题目难度一般不会很大。考生抓住关键信息作答并且减少语法错误就可以获得较高分数。因此,把握题型和相应的答题技巧是重中之重。
例题一:
Who played football yesterday?
听力材料:
W: Hi, Frank. Did you play football yesterday?
M: Yes, I did.
W: What did you do after you played football?
M: I played chess with John.
W: Are you going to play chess again this afternoon?
M: No, we aren’t. We’re going to plant some flowers with David in the yard.
W: That sounds great.
答案:Frank (played football yesterday).
分析:本题考查的是主语。因此答案关键词是“Frank”,答出即可获满分。有些考生习惯完整作答,但要注意题干中的时态为过去时,如果在口头表达时出现将“played”读作“plays”的错误,就会失去相应分数,就得不偿失了。
例题二:
What did Sally buy for her sister?
听力材料:
M: Hi, Sally. How was your vacation?
W: It was great! I went to Hong Kong.
M: Did you go there with your parents?
W: No. I went with my friends. Everyone had a great time.
M: Did you do anything interesting there?
W: Yes. I went to a fun park and I did some shopping. Things are expensive there but I did buy my sister a beautiful handbag.
答案:A beautiful handbag.
分析:本题考查的是宾语。在对话的结尾处可以获得答案“a beautiful handbag”。为了避免出现语法错误,不建议考生用完整句回答问题,但容易出现的语法错误是,考生口头作答时忽略冠词“a”,只回答“beautiful handbag”,会被扣除相应分数。因此考生在简要回答的同时要注意答案的完整性。
例题三:
When are they going to clean the room?
听力材料:
W: Bill, what are you doing now?
M: I’m playing computer games.
W: Could you clean your room now?
M: Mum, I cleaned it last Friday.
W: You have to clean it again for your party.
M: OK, mom! I’ll do it with dad after dinner.
答案:After dinner.
例题四:
Where are the keys?
听力材料:
W: You look so worried, Andy. What’s the matter?
M: I have lost my keys.
W: Oh, what a bad luck! Have you searched your desk and pocket?
M: Of course! I’ve looked everywhere in the room.
W: Look! What’re those at the door?
M: Wow, the keys! Thank goodness, and thank you for your help.
答案:At the door.
分析:此题以及上一道题考查的分别是地点状语和时间状语。考生作答时除了注意完整的简要回答外,还要注意介词不能省略。
例题五:
What can Ann’s sister do for Bill?
听力材料:
M: Hello! This is Bill speaking. Could I speak to Ann, please?
W: Sorry, she is out at the moment. I’m Ann’s sister. Can I take a message for you?
M: Yes, please.
答案:She can take a message.
分析:本题考查的是谓语。与前几个例题答题技巧不同的是,回答谓语的题目不能过分省略,要注意语法的正确性,只回答动词短语而缺少主语是不完整的。因此,此类题目在回答时要回答整句,保证句法的正确。
例题六:
What does the man come here for?
听力材料:
W: Your English is very good. Where do you come from?
M: I come from America.
W: What do you come here for?
M: I come here to meet my friend Sally. She works in the city.
W: A friend? What does she do?
M: She is a teacher.
答案:To meet his friend Sally.
分析:本题考查的是目的状语。答案在文中十分明确,但考生要注意答案关键部分是动词不定式,而动词不定式要有to;还要注意人称的变化。
例题七:
Why does the man look so tired?
听力材料:
W: Hi, Tom. You look so tired. Why?
M: Hi, Mary. I didn’t sleep well last night.
W: I think a little exercise would do you good.
M: Well, I also think so. But I don’t have time to go to a gym.
答案:Because he didn’t sleep well last night.
分析:本题的特殊疑问词是“why”。在日常练习中,为了让考生做到答题规范,一般要求用“because”开头,虽然无伤大雅,但是细节决定成败,容易做到的就不要忽略。
针对听说机考第二大题,考生可以将答题技巧归纳为如下几句话:
完整答语应简要,
有些单词不能掉,
发音准确语音亮,
语法正确毛病少。
