對(duì)于這次改革，聽(tīng)力部分分值沒(méi)有發(fā)生改變，仍然是35分，也就是710分制的249.5分。語(yǔ)速方面也沒(méi)有什么太大的改變，考試形式上面還是呈現(xiàn)著多題多卷，也就是說(shuō)，讓作弊的可能性大大減小。這篇文章，我想和大家分享三個(gè)話題，一個(gè)是四六級(jí)改革后改在了什么地方；第二個(gè)是，這次聽(tīng)力部分的一些重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容的解析；第三個(gè)是今后的一些復(fù)習(xí)策略。
一.改革在什么地方：
六級(jí)的語(yǔ)速?zèng)]有發(fā)生什么變化，仍然是160-180字每分鐘，對(duì)于語(yǔ)音來(lái)說(shuō)，還是一半英式發(fā)音，一半美式發(fā)音。整體時(shí)間減少了獎(jiǎng)金一分多鐘，是因?yàn)閺?fù)合式聽(tīng)寫(xiě)今年不用再寫(xiě)長(zhǎng)句，而是改成單詞和詞組。整體難度系數(shù)下降，但是得分估計(jì)不會(huì)有太大的提升，是因?yàn)樵瓉?lái)的單詞長(zhǎng)句雖然很難拿到滿分，但是只要?jiǎng)邮謱?xiě)了，分?jǐn)?shù)至少不會(huì)是零分，但是這次卻降低了偶然的分的概率。所以，對(duì)于考生來(lái)說(shuō)，平時(shí)背單詞的時(shí)候，更加希望能夠在聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，練習(xí)一下自己速記和拼寫(xiě)的能力，這個(gè)我一會(huì)兒再說(shuō)。
第二個(gè)改變是很多同學(xué)都覺(jué)得十分奔潰的，這次四六級(jí)考試完全沒(méi)有任何答題卡填涂時(shí)間，以往考試的五分鐘填涂答題卡被很多考生拿來(lái)作弊，于是今年的取消也讓很多不喜歡邊聽(tīng)題邊涂答題卡的同學(xué)很奔潰，導(dǎo)致沒(méi)時(shí)間填涂答題卡，這里特別想跟大家分享，在平時(shí)考前的?？?，務(wù)必加上一項(xiàng)練習(xí)：就是邊聽(tīng)題目，邊填涂答題卡。
二．真題解析：
對(duì)于今年的真題，新東方的團(tuán)隊(duì)統(tǒng)計(jì)發(fā)現(xiàn)至少聽(tīng)力部分存在三套題目，而由于選項(xiàng)的不同，答案更加是千奇百怪，所以，我們更加需要知道，這些題目考察的是什么東西，這里把短對(duì)話、長(zhǎng)對(duì)話的考點(diǎn)和大家分享一下：
在讀Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre:將近一分鐘內(nèi)容的時(shí)候，加上前面試音時(shí)間的一分多鐘，考生痛苦的，應(yīng)該就是這些時(shí)間我到底應(yīng)該看什么地方。我的建議很簡(jiǎn)單，特別建議大家看看短對(duì)話的前8道題和長(zhǎng)對(duì)話的第一篇，如果你覺(jué)得兩分多鐘的時(shí)間不夠，那么你真心應(yīng)該提升一下英語(yǔ)的閱讀能力。
那長(zhǎng)對(duì)話第二篇呢，用長(zhǎng)對(duì)話第一篇問(wèn)題的時(shí)間去看；至于短文聽(tīng)力，可以用另外一個(gè)direction去看第一篇，第一篇的問(wèn)題去看第二篇，第二篇的問(wèn)題去看第三篇。
1. W: What a wonderful performance! Your rock band has never sounded better.
M: Many thanks. I guess all those hours of practice in the past month are finally paying off.
Q：What does the man mean?
答案：D) Their hard work has resulted in a big success.
本題再次考察了四六級(jí)考試中?？级陶Z(yǔ)pay off（回報(bào)），這里使用了 practice….finally paying off 同義詞替換了result in a big success(導(dǎo)致了成功)。
2.M: I can't decide what to do for my summer vacation. I either want to go on a bike tour of Europe or go diving in Mexico.
W: Well, we're offering an all-inclusive two-week trip to Mexico for only 300 dollars.
Q：What does the woman suggest the man do for his vacation?
答案：B) Join a package tour to Mexico.
本題考察了六級(jí)考試中非常重要的旅游場(chǎng)景，在首句出現(xiàn)summer vacation 度假； 并且強(qiáng)調(diào)了男的either…or…即想去歐洲騎車(chē)旅游，又想去墨西哥潛水；而女士明顯是中介或者旅游的代理商，強(qiáng)調(diào)我們提供一個(gè)all inclusive two week trip to Mexico全部包括的兩周旅行去墨西哥，僅僅300刀，這里暗示，女士建議男士去墨西哥。
3. W: How long do you think this project might take?
M: I'd say about three months, but it could take longer if something unexpected happened. Maybe we'd better allow an extra month, so we won't have to worry about being late.
Q: Why does the man say extra time should be allowed for the project?
答案：B) In case some problem should occur.
在短對(duì)話中，but后面一般是一個(gè)題目的重點(diǎn)，這里的but后面明確寫(xiě)出，將會(huì)花更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間如果意外發(fā)生，這里剛好是男士的想要延長(zhǎng)project的意愿，同義句子替換，答案選擇B。
4. M: I'm thinking about becoming a member here, and I'd like some information.
W: Sure. A three-month membership costs 150 dollars, and that includes use of the wait-room, sauna and pool. I'll give you a free pass so that you can try out the facilities before you decide.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案：C) The man can try out the facilities before he becomes a member.
男士在開(kāi)頭的時(shí)候說(shuō)，想要成為會(huì)員（member），咨詢一下價(jià)格；而女士說(shuō)的后一句為重點(diǎn)：我給你一個(gè)免費(fèi)的通行證去試試這些設(shè)施在你決定之前。這里比較重視的是這樣兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)free pass 免費(fèi)的通行證和try out the facility 嘗試一下設(shè)施。
5. W: I'm sorry to hear that you failed the Physics course, Ted.
M: Let's face it. I'm just not cut out to be a scientist.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案：A) He is not fit to study science.
女士在開(kāi)頭說(shuō)男士沒(méi)有通過(guò)物理課,fail the course 這里表示掛科，校園場(chǎng)景的重點(diǎn)詞匯； 男士說(shuō)，面對(duì)吧，我沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)備成為一個(gè)科學(xué)家。這里一個(gè)很重要的短語(yǔ)：cut out to, 意味著ready to.
6.
M: Gary insisted on buying the food for the picnic.
W: That's pretty generous of him. But shouldn't we at least offer to share the expenses? He has a big family to support.
Q: What does the woman suggest they do?
答案：C) Pay for part of the picnic food.
男士說(shuō)Gary 堅(jiān)持在野餐的時(shí)候買(mǎi)食物，insist on 為考題中關(guān)鍵短語(yǔ)，意思是堅(jiān)持。但是女士在對(duì)話中再次出現(xiàn)了but, 后面內(nèi)容再次成為重點(diǎn)：我們不應(yīng)該至少去分擔(dān)這個(gè)花費(fèi)嘛，他還有個(gè)家庭去支持呢。
這里出現(xiàn) share the expense，在餐廳的場(chǎng)景里面經(jīng)常使用，順便再介紹兩個(gè)六級(jí)考試的經(jīng)典表達(dá)方式：split the bill; go Dutch均能表示AA制度。
7.
W: Did you see the headlines in the paper this morning?
M: Yes. Apparently the bus company will be laying off its employees if they can't reach an agreement on wages by midnight.
Q: What did the man read about?
答案：A) A labor dispute at a bus company.
女士說(shuō)你是否看見(jiàn)了今天報(bào)紙的頭版頭條headline in the paper; 男士說(shuō)，明顯巴士公司將會(huì)解雇他們的雇員，如果他們不能在午夜達(dá)成工資的協(xié)議。這里的替換很巧妙，我們可以從can't reach an agreement on sth, 對(duì)什么達(dá)成協(xié)議感受到他們?cè)赿ispute爭(zhēng)吵。
8.
W: Have we received payment for the overseas order we delivered last month?
M: Yes. The cheque came in yesterday afternoon. I'll be depositing it when I go the bank today.
Q: What is the woman concerned about?
答案：D) The payment for an order.
本題問(wèn)題是女士concerned about 關(guān)心什么，所以問(wèn)題主要在第一句話：我們是否接收到了上個(gè)月我們發(fā)送海外訂單時(shí)候的payment 薪資？ 所以解決了答案。后句中的兩個(gè)詞建議大家有空還是記載以下，cheque=check 支票； deposit 存。
各位是否發(fā)現(xiàn)，短對(duì)話除了后一題在第一句出題，其余的題目全部在前句出題。而四級(jí)考試考來(lái)考去全部都是同義詞替換，有些同學(xué)問(wèn)我還有沒(méi)有更多的考試技巧，寫(xiě)這篇文章的時(shí)候，我正好的美國(guó)，在這一路，我也有很多思考。我忽然發(fā)現(xiàn)，在我們四級(jí)考試中，只有聽(tīng)力部分是貼切實(shí)際的，因?yàn)槠渲械膯卧~和詞組更加貼切于每日的生活，一些短句幾乎每天都在都在用，所以，我們?cè)倨綍r(shí)訓(xùn)練中更加不應(yīng)該去為了考試追求過(guò)多的考試技巧，相反，我們應(yīng)該更加注重語(yǔ)言的運(yùn)用和理解，這些想必對(duì)你更重要。
Section A Long Conversations
長(zhǎng)對(duì)話綜述：長(zhǎng)對(duì)話仍然還是聽(tīng)到什么選什么的原則，在聽(tīng)音的時(shí)候應(yīng)該做好筆記，方便在聽(tīng)問(wèn)題時(shí)回顧原文內(nèi)容找答案。
Conversation 1
W: OK, that's it. Now we have to make a decision. We might as well do that now, don't you think?

M: True. And I thought he seemed very intelligent. He answered Dona's questions very well.

M: He seemed relaxed to me, the type of person people feel comfortable with right away.
W: He was polite, but also very friendly and relaxed as you say. I think he'll be good with the guests at the front desk.
M: He had a very pleasant voice, too.
W: That's right. OK, good! I guess we have our receptionist then, don't you?
M: Yes, I think so. We'll just offer the job to…

Q11: What do the speakers decide to do?
答案：
9. B) A hotel receptionist.
10. A) Appearance.
