高考英语听力应试强化教程(上)

1． 编写宗旨
从2001年起，高考英语试题加试听力在全国展开。由于以往高考不考听力，中学听力教学长期没有得到足够的重视。考生面对即将来临的听力测试，无论心理还是实力都相对准备不足。据有关方面对广州几所重点中学高二年级所做的调查发现：目前高中听力教学有两个缺乏。一是听力教学资源的缺乏；二是时间上的缺乏。因此，如何在高考中考好听力就成为广大师生和家长普遍关心的话题。为了满足高中学生英语学习的需要，我们根据国家教委颁布的高中英语教学大纲设计，编写了这本《高考英语听力应试强化教程》旨在帮助高中学生和高考应考考生迅速提高英语的听说能力和掌握听说技巧。

2． 编写原则
《高考英语听力应试强化教程》主要是根据交际法的原则编写的。考虑到高中学生学习外语的特点，《教程》适当吸收了听说法的某些长处，全书以功能为主线，30个单元。由浅入深，循序渐进。给学生提供了如何在不同情景，根据不同的交际目的和不同的交谈对象运用语言点或表达法和句型。这是本《教程》的编写原则。

3． 训练目的
学习语言，最重要的莫过于“听”和“说”。听懂了，是理解的过程，说出来，是表达的过程。《新概念英语》的作者亚历山大说过：Listening comes before speaking, reading and writing.即：听力领先于说、读、写三项技能。虽然“说”可以由说话人自己选择词汇和句式，但如何把话说得既正确又得体却非易事。较之“说”，“听”则更难了。在与人交际的双向活动中，首先必须听懂别人在讲什么，然后才能根据具体情况做出适宜的答复。即便是在看英文影碟、电视节目或听英文讲座这样的活动中，如果听不懂，就无法体会参与的乐趣。从这点上讲，“听”比“说”更重要，也更难。对于学习英语的中国学生来说，较之其它技能，听力相对更差一些。现代科学技术的迅猛发展，缩短了世界各国人际间的距离。英语作为世界的通用语言，它在世界沟通中所起的重要作用越来越为人们所瞩目。提高中学生的听说能力成了英语教学中亟待解决的问题。本《教程》正是本着这样的目的编写的。

4．特点特色
a．特点：本《教程》以人教版SEFC教材为基础，以高考试题结构为框架，紧扣高考英语听力大纲要求；详细地介绍了高考英语听力考试的命题原则，规律，题型特点，知识结构，解题技巧。不仅选材详实，全面贴近中学生的学习和生活，而且将考点分析，重点句型，解题对策和要诀，热身训练，实战演练等诸多功能融为一体。重视从具体到抽象的认识过程，培养高考考生所必需的发散型思维。由于《教程》具有极强的针对性，它在指出如何解决试题中出现的考点及问题的具体方法途径的同时， 辅以详实、丰富、问题捕捉准确、独到的解题对策要诀，更配以实战演示辅助练习。这些特点使本《教程》成为高考前英语听力应试的必备书目之一。

B．特色：另外，本《教程》在听力练习的设计上，主要强调信息的获取。即：听懂所说的内容，而不仅仅是单纯的语言表达形式。从Part One 热身练习到Part Two的样题演练；从检查整体的理解到细节的掌握。由易到难；有简到繁。练习形式保持与高考考题同步。内容涵盖宽，选材精，语言时尚。既注重信息的获取，亦兼顾语言的训练，也是本《教程》的又一显著特色。

C．来源：每单元后都附有练习答案，录音文稿和配套磁带。它是由具备丰富有声出版经验的《英语大世界》编辑部，以及全国著名高级教师组成的研究组，凭借多年指导高考考生所积累的经验，综合高考命题特点和测试规律并进行长期跟踪的研究成果。磁带录音由美国电视播音员播讲，追求规范性，准确性，科学性以及风格的逼真与统一性效果，全面演绎高考听力试题，力求向考生提供最优质的高考英语应试教程。
敬请留意：为了减轻读者经济负担，我们没有为读者预留做题时间。因此，在听音做答时，请根据题目要求自己掌握时间。

四: 语速
高考英语听力的语速为每分钟110或者120个词。小对话部分听一遍，大对话和短文听两遍。要求能掌握所给材料的大意，以及说明主旨大意的细节：即既要能理解故事的表面意思，也要能吃透文章的深层含义。并根据所听材料进行一般的推理。如推测对话或短文的时间、地点、场合、人物的身份、关系、态度等。听力内容涉及日常生活、科普、社会、政治、教育、风土人情、传说、时事等。

B: 解题技巧对策及要诀

通过对1999和2000年高考样题和全真试题的分析,我们发现目前的高考听力部分有以下三个特点:
a.对话形式:
一问一答。通常是一男一女在进行对话。采用听对话后回答问题的方式来考察应试者是否听懂对话的内容。
b. 短文独白：
除对话外，还会有100字左右的短文听音。文后有3—4个问题要求回答。

c. 提问方式：
从1999—2000年的样题和全真题中所提的问题来看， 提问方式都采用特殊疑问句形式(即:5个W和3个H)。提问内容涉及到6个方面: （1）事件what；（2）地点where；（3）人物who；（4）时间when；（5）原因why；（6）方式how; how many; how much。
下面我们就逐一做具体的分析。首先是做题的最基本方法和思路。即：解题技巧。

一．解题技巧
a. 做听力测试题时，考生心理素质尤为重要。要有自信心，沉着冷静，静心收听，注意力要集中。
b. 拿到试卷后，利用听前的一两分钟，以及间隙中的几秒中时间，快速浏览问题和选项，并对所要回答的问题做一个大概的预测。利用快速阅读的技巧：重点看不同的部分。相同的部分一扫而过。这样使自己在听之前就做到心中有数，推断和臆测出文中可能的几种情景，然后带着问题去听录音。这样不仅可以更准确地对录音内容进行理解，而且能够提高选择的准确率。在高考中，无论是听对话还是短文，问题和选项都出现在卷面上，可供考生阅读。
c. 不论是听对话还是短文，注意力一定要集中在对整体内容的理解上。要抓对话或短文的概貌。切忌死抠某个词或者句子或者短文的意思。要学会“放弃”，听不清时应马上放过。在停顿的时间到了后，马上动手做后面的题目。等后面的都做完了再抽时间思考前面暂时“放弃”的项目。千万不能强迫自己去听清每一个词。应把重点放在关键词（通常是实词）以及与问题有关的内容上。

具体针对哪一节题型的解题思路和办法将在下面做点对点的分析。并讲解演示对策和要诀。

二.做小对话的对策及要诀
根据国家教委颁发的教学大纲，对高二和高三的英语教学的要求第一条: 能听懂课堂用语和用所学的英语解释新的语言现象。 我们发现考察小对话的形式多为: 一问一答的简单对话句型。内容是日常用语居多。 重点是词、词组和固定句型结构。
因此，对付考察小对话的要诀有5条：

1. 掌握语音，语调和重音的功能。 因为，语音、语调是人们表达疑问、反问、生气、后悔、高兴、激动等等思想感情的常用的工具。当然也就是考察范围中的重要一环。

请看:The flowers here are very beautiful, aren't they？
A. The speaker wants to know the flowers are beautiful or not.
B. There are not any beautiful flowers.
C. The speaker thinks that the flowers there are very beautiful.
Key: C

2. 熟悉常用的句型和结构。 英语句子语意的重心常常在句子的后半部分。从对以往听力考试单句的分析，可以看出所考察的单句中常有否定句、比较句、条件句、让步句等。诸如: too...to；so...that 和so that...句型等。

请看: Mr. Brown doesn't have a house and neither do Kate and Jim.
A. Jim has a house.
B. Kate has a car.
C. All of them have no houses.
Key: C

3. 辨别和分清同义异形词。 即: 要选择与听到的词差别较大，但语意相同或者相近的答案。这部分的目的主要是考察单词，短语和句子的同义异形变换。其表现形式是在选择项中出现同原句或原词语音相近而语义不同的词、短语和句子作为干扰项。

请看:Mary missed her chance to meet the famous singer.
A. Mary met the famous singer.
B. Mary did not meet the famous singer.
C. Mary and the famous singer missed the chance.
Key: B

4. 留心对同音字的辨音和辨义。 英语中有许多同音单词。如: too和two； our和 hour； flower 和 和flour等。但他们的意义和用法却是不相同的。 对付该问题的要诀是: 通过语境和上下文来判断选择。

请看:The old man was too weak to take his daily walk.
A. The old man didn't go out for his walk for two weeks.
B. The old man was so weak that he could not take his daily walk.
C. The old man took his daily walk for two weeks.
Key: B

5. 从选择项入手做题: 找出三个选项之间的不同点。 我们知道每小题都有三个选择项，其中有相同部分和不同部分。比如: 有的相同主语，但谓语不同； 有的相同谓语，但不同状语。总之，相同的部分是已知内容，而不同部分是未知内容。 正好就是考察的重点。

请看: M: Did you see Lily in the reading-room?
W: Yes, she was reading magazines.
Q: What was Lily doing?
A. She was cleaning the reading-room.
B. She was reading newspapers.
C. She was reading magazines.
Key: C

三.做大对话的对策及要诀
形式：
与小对话相比，大对话通常包含了5个左右的一问一答。因 此，大对话具有题材广泛，信息量大的特点。相应的，其句子长度和复杂性都大大超出了小对话范围。
目的:
考察对情景、语义的整体理解。
对策:
有4条
1. 注重对整体语意的理解。全力听懂对话内容。
2. 为了在听录音时做到有的放矢，要留心5个明示与暗示:
a.时间when； b.地点where； c.数字(有时要进行一些简单的计算和换算)how many or how much； d.说话者的身份who； e.说话者的意图(包括说话的目的和说话时的态度)purpose and attitude。
3. 以常识判断对话的地点和场景。 提高选项的正确率。 要诀: 抓对话的关键词、短语和句型。
4． 识别和避开陷阱。基于对话的设计原则，是要考察对谈话内容的整体理解。因此，其干扰项设计的目的是要混淆听力能力不强的考生的视线，抓住他们认为选听到的总比选没听到的可靠的心理，在选择项中布下录音中的重读词或短语，故意给他们造成错觉。

请看1999年样题第二小节，第9段听力材料，回答第13至16题
录音原文：
9． （A knocking at the door）
W: Come in, please.
M: Hello, Kate. Where's Jane ? I want her to type this letter for me.
W: I'm afraid she can't, Tom. She isn't working today.
M: Oh, why? Is she ill?
W: No. She's studying for an exam.
M: An exam. Is she going to school?
W: Yes, she is. She's learning Japanese in night school.
M: I see. Are you going to night school, too?
W: No. I'm not, not this year. But I'm thinking about taking a course next year.
M: That's a good idea. Is it expensive?
W: No, not very. Anyway, it's worth the money.

问题和选项：
13. Where are Kate and Tom?

B. She was preparing for the examine.
C. She was taking an exam.
16. What will Kate do next year?
A. Go to Japan.
B. Change her job.
C. Go to night school.

Key: 13 B 14. C 15. B 16. C

四.做短文的对策及要诀
听短文是听力中的重头戏。其特点是篇幅长，信息量大，要求回答的问题多而细。因此，也是难度较大的一部分。关于这部分的对策有3条:
1. 注意主题句和结论句。即: 每一篇或者每一段的首句和尾句；首句一般是该篇或者该段的中心思想。 而尾句常常是全文或者全篇的总结。抓住这两句，可以从中推断出全篇或者全段的大意和要旨。
2. 利用要求回答的问题来指导短文听力。首先检查要求回答的3-4个问题的性质( 它们是属于5个W和3个H中的那几种)；以及它所涵盖的内容和范畴(时间、地点、人物、数字和其它细节)。
3. 在听的过程中做关键词语和数字的记录。 有了对问题的明了认识，在听短文时，把握两个关键:
a. 听懂文章是关键。重首尾， 抓大意。
b. 记录问题需要的答案，做到有的放矢，细节补充。

Charles Chaplin was an English actor, director, producer, and composer, and one of the most creative artists in film history. Charles Chaplin was born in London on April 16, 1889. His parents were music hall actors, and he first appeared on the stage in a dance act at age 8. In 1910 he went to perform in the United States and decided to remain in the country. Chaplin first appeared on the screen in 1914. He created his world-famous character, the Tramp who is wearing large pants, big shoes, and a funny hat and carrying a bamboo cane. This tramp character appeared in most of Chaplin's films and came to be loved by audiences throughout the world. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Chaplin was criticized for his political views. As a result, he left the United States in 1952 and moved to Switzerland. He died in Switzerland on Dec. 25, 1977.

Mr. Andrews had a new telephone number. Before he got it, it was the number of a shop. The shop now had a new number, but a lot of women did not know this, so they still telephoned the old one.
At first, Mr. and Mrs. Andrews always said, "We are sorry. You have the wrong number. The shop has a new one now." But women still continued to telephone them to ask for things, so after some time, Mr. and Mrs. Andrews began to answer them like this:
" Good morning, madam. What do you want us to send to you today?" They thought, "Perhaps they will stop telephoning us when they don't get their things." But this did not help Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, because now women began to telephone them more and more, and say angrily, " Where are my things? They have not come yet! Why haven't you sent them yet?"

The Englishman had had a good time. A month passed but he received no letters. He thought it strange and he rang up his housekeeper.
"Why didn't you post me my letters?"
"Because you didn't leave me the key of the letter box." was the reply.

Father's day is a day set aside for admiring fathers in church services and in the home. It's celebrated in the U.S. on the third Sunday of June. This idea was begun by Mrs. John Bruces Dodd, who in 1909 persuaded an organization in Washington to praise fathers with special church services. President Woodrow Wilson officially agreed to the idea in 1916. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge suggested national celebration of the day to form closer relations between fathers and their children. The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father's Day flower. Nowadays fathers often receive presents from their children on Father's Day.

Woman: Oh, I lived with an American family, the Smiths. They were very kind people. Shortly after I arrived, we became good friends. And, living in their house, I could speak English with them every day. Besides, I didn't need to worry about my daily three meals. They looked after that.

第一段独白， 回答第14-17题
Good morning, Ladies and Gentleman,
Welcome to our school. My name is Andrew Brown. I am a history teacher. I'll give you a quick introduction to the school before I show you around. Our school is called a "free school". That means that the pupils are free to choose what and how they want to learn.
The school opens at 9 a.m., but the children can arrive when they like. Most of them are in school by ten. Between nine and ten most people are in the living room and the kitchen downstairs. Some of the children haven't had much breakfast, so there is a lot of eating, tea-drinking and talking. This is the time when children and teachers can work out what they are to do for the day.
Now if you look through the door of that big room you will see those children reading and drawing there. Some have chosen to do maths. They are on the third floor with Miss Green. Four of the older boys are now on the way to the Cardrome to have their driving lessons. Several children are in the kitchen helping Miss Cabell with lunch. The children take turns doing this. They all enjoy doing it. After lunch it's someone else's job to do the washing-up. This job is unpopular and not many of them like to do it.
After lunch the children go on with what they've been doing until 4:30. On Monday and Thursdays the school is also open in the evenings until 9:00 p.m.. On Wednesday afternoon there is a school meeting. On Friday we sometimes take the children to a cinema or a museum. The school is also open every weekend for those children who want to come.

第二段独白，回答第18-20题
Good morning everybody. My topic for today is " Early Money". I'm going to tell you something about money used in the early days. To be honest, we know little about how early people came to use money, but we do know some of the things which have been used as money. In some parts of Asia, tea was used for money. The American Indians used nuts and other things. Perhaps the most common money of all was an animal found some places today, cows are still used as a kind of money. So you see, things highly valued by everybody may serve as money.
The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money. Oh, sorry, you don't know the word. Well, it is spelled C-O-I-N. Here are some coins of the past. You can come over and have a look.
