聽(tīng)力短文因?yàn)槲恼螺^長(zhǎng)，涉及的信息較多，相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)難度較大。而我們能夠讀取的信息仍然就只有幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)，因此聽(tīng)音前閱讀選項(xiàng)、了解短文的弦外之音、從選項(xiàng)中尋找突破點(diǎn)就變得更為重要。尤其是在因?yàn)橐粫r(shí)緊張而只聽(tīng)到只言片語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，下面的幾個(gè)應(yīng)急高招可能真的可以成為你的“救命稻草”呢!絕對(duì)有效，不信就試試!
第一招：主題不一致的選項(xiàng)不要選本文來(lái)源:考試大網(wǎng)
一是要與整篇短文的主題一致。根據(jù)各題選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容我們往往可以大致推測(cè)出短文的主題，如果某一選項(xiàng)明顯與短文主題不相關(guān)，那么該選項(xiàng)往往不是答案。
二是要與選項(xiàng)所在題目的主題一致。與其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容明顯不同，即與該題主題明顯不相關(guān)選項(xiàng)往往不是答案。
第二招：相反的選項(xiàng)必有一個(gè)為答案
四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，如果有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思明顯相反，那么其中往往有一個(gè)為答案。
第三招：相近的選項(xiàng)均不是答案
四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，如果有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思明顯相近，那么這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)往往均不是答案。
第四招：包含其他選項(xiàng)的選項(xiàng)不是答案
有的選項(xiàng)的含義明顯包含另一個(gè)選項(xiàng)的含義，那么該選項(xiàng)往往不是答案。
第五招：不符常理的選項(xiàng)不要選
有的選項(xiàng)明顯不符合該對(duì)話情景下的常識(shí)或常理，那么該選項(xiàng)往往不是答案。

【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】
預(yù)覽三道題各選項(xiàng)，由medical care（醫(yī)療護(hù)理）, hospitals, 以及therapists（治療專(zhuān)家）可推測(cè)本文可能與醫(yī)療工作有關(guān)；而由special education（特殊教育），disabled（殘疾的）和handicapped（殘疾的）可推測(cè)本文還可能與殘疾人特殊教育有關(guān)，但12、13題各選項(xiàng)并沒(méi)有涉及到任何有關(guān)教育的問(wèn)題。因此綜合來(lái)看，本文主題很可能是關(guān)于殘疾人的醫(yī)療工作。
11．四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均是某一學(xué)科領(lǐng)域，由前面對(duì)主題的分析可推斷本題答案為[B]Medical care的可能性較大，聽(tīng)音時(shí)再確認(rèn)具體是哪個(gè)領(lǐng)域。
12．選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)表明本題很可能是關(guān)于影響“她”做某種決定的因素（friends and relatives, parents, training, determination）。聽(tīng)音時(shí)主要判斷是來(lái)自“誰(shuí)”的因素。來(lái)源：考試大
13．選項(xiàng)均為不定式形式，表明本題很可能是考查某事的目的或原因。[A]是有關(guān)資金問(wèn)題，偏離主題，不大可能為答案。聽(tīng)音時(shí)需留意以下要點(diǎn)：help disabled children；train therapists；set institution for handicapped。
【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】
Born and raised in central Ohio, I’m a country girl through and through. [11] I’m currently studying to become a physical therapist, a career path that marks a greater achievement for me. At Ohio State University, admission into the physical therapy program is intensely competitive. I made it pass the first cuts the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist. I received advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding another course for my life. I just couldn’t do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. [12] So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied. Happily I received notice of my admission. Later, I found out that less than 15% of the applicant had been offered positions that year. Now in the first two years of professional training, I couldn’t be happier with my decision not to give up on my dream. My father told me that if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in. Well, Daddy, I wanted it. So there.
After graduation, I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and [13] work in a children's hospital for a year or two. So many of the children there are physically handicapped but most hospitals don’t have the funding to hire trained staff to care for them properly. I would like to change that somehow.
【答案解析】
11. What is the speaker's field of study?
【解析】選[B]。推斷題。本題是問(wèn)說(shuō)話者研究的領(lǐng)域是什么。根據(jù)文中的studying to become a physical therapist可知說(shuō)話人目前在學(xué)習(xí)成為一名理療師，而physical therapist明顯屬于medical care的范疇，由此可推知說(shuō)話人的學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)域?qū)儆趍edical care（醫(yī)療）范疇。故答案為[B]。解答此題時(shí)切忌將physical therapist（理療師）中的physical與physics（物理學(xué)）聯(lián)系起來(lái)而誤選[C]。
12. According to the speaker, what contributed to her admission to Ohio State University?
【解析】選[C]。推斷題。本題是問(wèn)說(shuō)話者被俄亥俄州立大學(xué)錄取的原因是什么。根據(jù)文中So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied.一句可知說(shuō)話人堅(jiān)持了自己的夢(mèng)想，并努力為實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想而奮斗，由此可推知她最終被錄取是因?yàn)樗齞etermination to fulfill her dream（實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的決心），故答案為[C]。本題的答案是解答本題要注意不能根據(jù)只言片語(yǔ)妄下結(jié)論，如聽(tīng)到received advice from friends and relatives就誤選[A]。
13. Why does the speaker want to go to a Latin American country?
【解析】選[B]。細(xì)節(jié)題。本題是問(wèn)說(shuō)話者想去拉美國(guó)家的原因是什么。根據(jù)文中work in a children's hospital for a year or two. So many of the children there are physically handicapped but most hospitals don’t have …可知說(shuō)話人想去拉美國(guó)家是為了help the disabled children there（幫助那里的殘疾兒童），故答案為[B]。
