聽力考試的第二節(jié)考察考生理解具體或者總體信息的能力?？忌鶕?jù)聽到的一段280-320詞的獨(dú)白或?qū)υ挘a(bǔ)全考題中所給的句子或簡要回答給出的問題。該小節(jié)錄音材料將播放兩遍。問題在提干中給出，不再在錄音中播放。本小節(jié)一共五道題，播放錄音前有25秒的答題時(shí)間，第一遍錄音放完后有50秒答題時(shí)間，第二遍錄音播放完后有30秒完成答案和檢查答案時(shí)間。
本節(jié)考試中仍以細(xì)節(jié)題為主，考查考生對給定范圍細(xì)節(jié)的定位和獲取事實(shí)性具體信息的能力。出題點(diǎn)集中在時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、天氣、人物、數(shù)字、電話號碼和價(jià)格等細(xì)節(jié)信息上。由于考題中已給出所要求細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容，因此考生只需要聽懂原文并進(jìn)行合理定位即可。主題題型比較簡單，考察能力也與第一節(jié)相似。相對第一小節(jié)來說，聽力考試第二小節(jié)加入了考查考生把握全文總體信息能力的題型，如主觀題，態(tài)度題，推斷總結(jié)題等，因此加大了考試難度。要求考生對材料中涉及的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容以及材料中涉及的某個(gè)方面的具體內(nèi)容進(jìn)行總結(jié)和概括，比如某個(gè)事件發(fā)生的背景，某種條件等；要求考生對對話或者獨(dú)白的主要內(nèi)容，主要目的，講話者的態(tài)度，立場能夠做出一定推斷。關(guān)鍵還是考生能不能在第一次聽后能否對材料有個(gè)大概的理解。如果可以的話，則第二次就能有的放矢。在該段材料的題目設(shè)計(jì)中大都是特殊疑問句。題目多關(guān)于材料的細(xì)節(jié)、情節(jié)和主題等。有時(shí)也要求考生對材料所給予的線索做出推斷。錄音材料一般以記敘文為主，素材廣泛。

W: When I was getting divorced in 1975,reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldn't let him in .He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. I just couldn't believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves as shavings the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesn't matter how personal the matter may be. People don't trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in groups to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, it is usually buried among advertisements. I have received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know what is true in the press these days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious, responsible and honest reporters. Don't judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors-take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers of see on television news
