點(diǎn)評(píng)2009年6月四級(jí)聽力短對(duì)話(新東方)1

字號(hào):

本次短對(duì)話而言,男女特征比較明顯,這次男生的地位略有抬頭,但總體而言,依然較女生低下。而從其內(nèi)容而言,場(chǎng)景基本得以保留和延續(xù),比如第11題:
     W: There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party. How come she's got so many friends?
     M: It's really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a child
     Q: What does the man imply about Kate?
     其中出現(xiàn)的派對(duì)場(chǎng)景birthday party一詞非常明顯;
     再如第12題:
     M: They say there'll be a snow-storm tonight, and the cold weather will last quite a few days.
     W: Oh! We're so lucky, we'll be getting away for a while, and having a holiday in Florida. But let's call right now to confirm our flight.
     Q: What do we learn about the two speakers?
     其中天氣場(chǎng)景詞snow-storm、cold weather,節(jié)日?qǐng)鼍暗膆oliday等。
     不過(guò)這次短對(duì)話中的詞組詞匯考點(diǎn)明顯略有增加,比如15題:
     M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night.
     W: You'll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest a more recent model.
     Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
     其中的invest一詞;
     以及16題:
     W: I can't decide what to do about the party tomorrow.
     M: You don't have to go if you don't want to, but I'll be glad to give you a ride if you do.
     Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
     中的give you a ride等。
     而這一點(diǎn)的變化在之前考試中已初見端倪,這也是四級(jí)考試向六級(jí)考試特點(diǎn)靠攏的一個(gè)典型表現(xiàn)。不過(guò)縱使如此,考點(diǎn)本身并沒(méi)有發(fā)生太大的變化,比如13題看似是很與眾不同的一題,但最后答案的courageous一詞也在原文中表達(dá)得相當(dāng)清晰:I really admire his courage. 而就場(chǎng)景變化也在這方面表現(xiàn)得比較明確,就是工作場(chǎng)景詞匯的明顯增加,即使是用在別的領(lǐng)域中,比如12題中的confirm,14題的invest,17題的contract一詞,這些都與六級(jí)考點(diǎn)有所接軌。
     綜上分析,可以發(fā)現(xiàn),短對(duì)話場(chǎng)景繼承往年特征并在近幾年加大了工作場(chǎng)景的比例;詞匯相對(duì)活躍,但多數(shù)在之前考試中均有出現(xiàn)過(guò);詞組考查數(shù)量見漲,向六級(jí)靠攏,但言外之意仍屬少數(shù);最后,技巧而言,基本延續(xù)了往年的特色,尤其是在男女側(cè)重而言。
