對以往試題的分析表明, 四六級(jí)考試聽力部分所涉及的題材句式都比較有限,我們完全可以通過熟悉相關(guān)的句式來間接地為聽力部分做準(zhǔn)備。我們歸納總結(jié)了以下幾個(gè)部分,應(yīng)該說大部分都是讀者們比較熟悉的了,但是一定不要因?yàn)榭瓷先ケ容^熟就不去重視它們。
一、數(shù)字表達(dá)類(Numbers)
聽力試題中所考察的題目很大一部分是根據(jù)所聽內(nèi)容填寫諸如數(shù)字、時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)等具體信息。而數(shù)字、時(shí)間等信息正是中國考生最不容易聽清楚的。下面我們將數(shù)字、時(shí)間等英語語言信息的日常表達(dá)方法介紹給大家:
1.英語中純數(shù)字的表達(dá)方法
大于100的數(shù)字:
101 one hundred (and ) one
200 two hundred
998 nine hundred ( and ) ninetyeight
在英語中上面括弧中的and 一般不能省略;而在美國英語中卻往往省去。請分析下面的對話:
A:How many people are killed in the terrorists' attacking at America?
B: That's nine hundred and ninetyeight, exactly.
A: Woo, you must be joking. How can you get such an accurate number?
B: Ha, ha... surely I am joking. You silly goose.
大于1000的數(shù)字:
1001 a/one thousand (and) one
2232 two thousand two hundred (and) thirtytwo
900,732,266,043
nine hundred billion seven hundred thirtytwo million two hundred sixtysix forty three
英語中一千以上數(shù)字的表達(dá)方法是以三位數(shù)為單元,從高到低billion,million,thousand 而依次讀出的。因此我們在聽時(shí),可以三位數(shù)三位數(shù)地記錄。試比較下面的對話:
A:Can you tell me exactly the numbers of the whole people in our country?
B:One billion four hundred thirtytwo million two hundred sixtysix forty three.
A:Thank you very much.
2.英語中時(shí)間的表達(dá)方法
英語中時(shí)間的表達(dá)方法主要有直接法和借用介詞法等。
(1)直接法。
上午八點(diǎn) eight AM (a.m.) [eiem]
下午九點(diǎn) nine PM (p.m.) [piem]
六點(diǎn)六分 six six
六點(diǎn)三十二 six thirty two
八點(diǎn)正 eight o'clock
(2)借用介詞法。
八點(diǎn)四十五 a quarter to nine
七點(diǎn)零五分 five past seven
七點(diǎn)五十四 six to eight
六點(diǎn)半 half past six
(3)表示正點(diǎn)的用法。
十一點(diǎn)正 at 11 o'clock sharp
at 11 o'clock on the hour
at 11 o'clock on the strike
正午12點(diǎn) at noon
午夜12點(diǎn) at midnight
時(shí)間表示法和時(shí)段的簡單運(yùn)算是聽力考試的熱點(diǎn),請看下面的對話:
W: How long does the class usually last?
M: Umm, let me think. It starts from a quarter to nine, and ends at nine thirty.
So...
W: That is fortyfive minutes. Thank you very much!
Q: When does the class usually start?
二、日常用語(Everyday English)
日常問候用語是考生必須熟練運(yùn)用的知識(shí),這與考生的口語操練有很大關(guān)系。說促進(jìn)聽,是許多英語學(xué)習(xí)者的心得。而且日常問候要視人而定,如英國人見面談天氣,美國人見面問身體等。下面作詳細(xì)介紹:
1.問候類(Greetings)
英語中的問候用語非常繁多,正式的通常有:
How do you do ?(初次見面通常用語)
How are you?(比較熟悉的人之間用語)
How are you getting along with...?(你近來...可好?)
How are you doing?(您工作還順利吧?)
How is everything?(一切還好吧?)
How is your vacation/holiday(s)/Christmas Day/weekend?(假期怎么樣?)
當(dāng)今美國社會(huì)流行口語用語,大致有:
What's up?(近來可忙?)
Hello?Hi?
What's going on ?(近來可好?)
How is life?
How is it going?anything new?
Pleased to meet you again!
對以上問候的對答通常有How do you do!
Fine!Thank you,and you?
Every is fine!
I'm just great!
Very(quite)well,thank you!
Couldn't be better,thank you!
Not bad!
Can't complain!
Just soso.
值得一提的是,隨著美語越來越廣泛地滲透,聽力中用美語朗讀且以美國社會(huì)為背景的題材的趨勢愈加明顯。考生要注意日??谡Z對話,及時(shí)吸取信息,將對聽力有很大的幫助。請看下面的對話:
A:Good morning, Ms Lucy. This is Betty, can you still remember me?
B:Betty? Is it really? Surely I remember you. You are my good friend, and I haven't seen you for ages, but how are you?
A:Fine, I'm just fine, Ms Lucy...
