聽力短文因為文章較長，涉及的信息較多，相對來說難度較大。而我們能夠讀取的信息仍然就只有幾個選項，因此聽音前閱讀選項、了解短文的弦外之音、從選項中尋找突破點就變得更為重要。尤其是在因為一時緊張而只聽到只言片語的時候，下面的幾個應(yīng)急高招可能真的可以成為你的“救命稻草”呢!絕對有效，不信就試試!
第一招：主題不一致的選項不要選本文來源:考試大網(wǎng)
一是要與整篇短文的主題一致。根據(jù)各題選項內(nèi)容我們往往可以大致推測出短文的主題，如果某一選項明顯與短文主題不相關(guān)，那么該選項往往不是答案。
二是要與選項所在題目的主題一致。與其他三個選項內(nèi)容明顯不同，即與該題主題明顯不相關(guān)選項往往不是答案。
第二招：相反的選項必有一個為答案
四個選項中，如果有兩個選項意思明顯相反，那么其中往往有一個為答案。
第三招：相近的選項均不是答案
四個選項中，如果有兩個選項意思明顯相近，那么這兩個選項往往均不是答案。
第四招：包含其他選項的選項不是答案
有的選項的含義明顯包含另一個選項的含義，那么該選項往往不是答案。
第五招：不符常理的選項不要選
有的選項明顯不符合該對話情景下的常識或常理，那么該選項往往不是答案。

【聽前預(yù)測】
預(yù)覽三道題各選項，由medical care（醫(yī)療護理）, hospitals, 以及therapists（治療專家）可推測本文可能與醫(yī)療工作有關(guān)；而由special education（特殊教育），disabled（殘疾的）和handicapped（殘疾的）可推測本文還可能與殘疾人特殊教育有關(guān)，但12、13題各選項并沒有涉及到任何有關(guān)教育的問題。因此綜合來看，本文主題很可能是關(guān)于殘疾人的醫(yī)療工作。
11．四個選項均是某一學(xué)科領(lǐng)域，由前面對主題的分析可推斷本題答案為[B]Medical care的可能性較大，聽音時再確認具體是哪個領(lǐng)域。
12．選項特點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）。聽音時主要判斷是來自“誰”的因素。來源：考試大
13．選項均為不定式形式，表明本題很可能是考查某事的目的或原因。[A]是有關(guān)資金問題，偏離主題，不大可能為答案。聽音時需留意以下要點：help disabled children；train therapists；set institution for handicapped。
【聽音驗證】
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。本題是問說話者研究的領(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]。解答此題時切忌將physical therapist（理療師）中的physical與physics（物理學(xué)）聯(lián)系起來而誤選[C]。
12. According to the speaker, what contributed to her admission to Ohio State University?
【解析】選[C]。推斷題。本題是問說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.一句可知說話人堅持了自己的夢想，并努力為實現(xiàn)夢想而奮斗，由此可推知她最終被錄取是因為她determination to fulfill her dream（實現(xiàn)夢想的決心），故答案為[C]。本題的答案是解答本題要注意不能根據(jù)只言片語妄下結(jié)論，如聽到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]。細節(jié)題。本題是問說話者想去拉美國家的原因是什么。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 …可知說話人想去拉美國家是為了help the disabled children there（幫助那里的殘疾兒童），故答案為[B]。
