Section B

Passage One

Pamcla Royal and her partner, Edith Clark, are the owners of the Sea View Hotel in

Brighton.As much of their business is seasonal, they do a good deal of the work

themselves.In order to make a profit, it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra

staff.Although they will never make a fortune, for the last ten years they have

earned a reasonable living from the hotel.They work extremely will together and each has her own duties.In general, Pamela

does the book keeping.She is excellent with figures and seldom makes a mistake.She also takes care of the decorations, particularly the flower arranging, which

is her hobby.Edith, on the other hand, makes all the staff arrangements, and when

necessary does the cooking.She is a very patient woman, and if guests make complaints

she tries her best to solve their problem.However, the two ladies do not do all the work themselves.They usually employ college

students to do the cleaning and the washing up.Bob Albert, who is a retired policeman,goes in two hours a day to do the gardening, or take care of the swimming pool.Both ladies are very popular.They believe in having an informal relationship with

the guests, and often make friends with their regular visitors.Last month was their

tenth anniversary in Brighton, and they had a dinner with their friends to celebrate.Pamela gave a speech and everyone wished them lots of success for the future.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.How do Pamela and Edith manage to keep down the cost of the hotel?

12.What jobs in the hotel are given to the college students?

13.Why are the two ladies popular in the area?Passage Two

Some people dream of being President of the United States.Some dream of becoming

stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight.But,could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to peter Johnson.Peter was an auto mechanic.One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore

and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him.The guards and other employees

stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent

him from taking the money.(16)No one tripped an alarm.No one pulled a gun.No one

called the police.Why did the allow him to get away with it?

Well, everything was legal.Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio

station.The first prize entitled him to enter the union Trust bank and gather up

as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes.Because he could not

bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his

pockets.As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills

as he could find.When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $ 5,000 richer.Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.14.Why did peter go to the Union Trust bank?

15.What was Peter s job?

16.What did the guards do when Peter stared gathering the money?

17.Why didn t Peter take more money from the bank?Passage Three

Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge.His job is to save

people who attempt to jump into the sea.If the telephone rings at three in the morning,he knows it s trouble.Someone is threatening to commit suicide.Larry will get his

things ready, and in no time he ll be out the door and heading to the spot.“If you aren t too late,” Larry says, “you climb out onto the cold steel and try

to talk to the poor, and pull him anyhow back to safety.For many suicide attempts

are made on the spur of the moment, and lives can be saved.But if you fall, if the

person jumps into the bottomless pool, there s no describing how helpless you feel.Often, would-be jumpers are driven to despair and see no hope out of their misery.The trick is to open channels of communication with them.Following are some tricks

that have worked: If you re going to jump, at least give me your mom s phone number

so I can call and tell her.Or That s a nice watch.If you re going to jump, can

I have it? Sometimes, all it takes is the voice of the human being who cares.”

Larry estimates he has rescued about thirty people in his ten years of service.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18.What is Larry s job?

19.What is happening if Larry s phone rings at 3 o clock in the morning?

20.What does Larry Smith usually do to stop someone from jumping off the bridge?

英语四级真题听力原文 篇2

听力部分共分为三种题型：Section A为对话题（包括短对话和长对话）；Section B为短文理解题；Section C为听写题。其中Section A和Section B采用的是选择题的出题形式，Section C采用的是填空题的出题形式。下面笔者来一一分析。

对话题和短文理解题

对话题和短文理解题的分值占四级总分值的25%，是绝对的重中之重。短对话共有八个，每个对话对应一道题目；长对话有两个，每个对话对应3～4道题目；短文理解有三篇，每篇短文对应3～4道题目。

题型特点

对话部分的录音模拟的是日常生活情景，语言口语化，内容较易理解，答题的关键在于听懂各题所涉及的生活类场景词汇。2015年6月短对话一、短对话四和长对话二考到了休闲娱乐场景词汇，录音中出现了playing chess （下棋）、taking my girlfriend to the fancy new restaurant （带女朋友去高档的新餐厅）、listened to recordings of great orchestras （听杰出的交响乐团的录音）等场景词。短对话三和长对话二考到了学习场景词汇，录音中出现了miss classes （缺课）、handwriting （手写字体）、violin lessons （小提琴课）、school concerts （学校音乐会）等场景词。长对话一考到了推销员向化工处理厂推销防止化学液体泄漏的安全装置，因此录音中不断出现chemistry processing plant （化工处理厂）、personal assistant （私人助理）、products and services （产品与服务）等工作场景词汇。事实上，上述的“休闲娱乐”“学习”和“工作”场景恰是历年听力录音中出现频率最高的三大场景。

短文理解部分的录音主要与社会文化、人物经历、科学发展三大类话题相关。2015年6月短文理解二讲述的是外出旅行的安全须知，属于社会文化类话题。在以往的真题中，社会文化类话题还曾考过探讨被领养子女是否应与亲生父母相认（2007年12月短文理解一）、精神激励比物质奖励更能激发工作积极性（2009年12月短文理解三）、孩子们在学校操场上玩究竟是否安全（2003年12月短文理解二）等内容。总之，社会生活中的方方面面都有可能涉及。2015年6月的短文理解一和三都属于人物经历类考题。这类考题多考查著名人物的经历，比如今年的短文理解一考查的是William Shakespeare，2014年6月的短文理解三考查的是以吝啬闻名的美国女富豪Hetty Green的一生。关于科学发展类话题，笔者分析的这套试卷中今年没有涉及，但在历年真题中都曾考过，比如考过为什么科学家至今没能攻克感冒病毒（2006年12月短文理解三）、是否存在外星生物（2009年12月短文理解一）等。对于以上提到的这些经典例题，笔者建议考生根据考查年份将其下载下来，进行相关练习。

答题技巧

关于对话题和短文理解题的答题技巧，笔者主要从听前审题和听时定位这两方面来讲。

1. 听前审题时，通过在选项中找重复词来预判题目所谈内容或预判答案位置。

在听前审题时，考生的做法往往是按照从A到D的顺序逐一看四个选项，还有一些考生习惯把选项中不认识或不熟悉的单词加下划线，以提醒自己在接下来听录音时注意这些信息。但事实上，上述两种做法都是不妥的：一是因为考场上时间有限，考生根本没有时间把每个选项的意思都看懂；二是因为选项中的生词未必与答案有关，不值得在时间紧张的审题环节对其特别关注。四级考试固有的命题思路决定了它不考难词和偏词，有时包含难词的选项反而不是答案，仅起到迷惑考生的作用。总之，考生要注意分清难点和考点。审题时，考生正确的做法如下：视线上下移动，在选项中寻找重复出现的词汇以及专有名词、年份、数字等特殊信息。下面笔者以短对话的一道题为例来具体讲解。

例1：4. A） The new restaurant is a perfect place for dating.

B） The new restaurant caught her fancy immediately.

C） The man has good taste in choosing the restaurant.

D） The man had better choose another restaurant.

解析：在看这道题的四个选项时，请各位考生打破“从左到右”依次浏览每个选项的习惯，尝试让自己的视线“纵向移动”，在四项中找重复出现的单词——多个选项重复提到的信息即题目的主题。考生在审题时切忌贪多求全，不要试图完全理解四个选项讲的是什么。当你把理解的任务从句缩减到词，就好比五彩缤纷的舞台突然只剩一束光打在主角身上。说到这里，相信考生都已经找到四个选项中重复出现的是restaurant一词。由此，考生可预判，接下来将要听到的内容应该与选择餐厅、在餐厅点菜、评判菜肴口味等有关。如果考生在备考时就已熟练掌握休闲娱乐场景中的相关词汇，那么这道题绝对难不倒你。考生可以通过该题的录音和题干来检验之前的预判是否正确。

M： I’m taking my girlfriend to the fancy new restaurant for her birthday tonight.

W： I went there last weekend. I found it rather disappointing.

Q： What does the woman mean？

通过对话内容考生可发现，对话谈论的确实是某家餐厅，并且可判断出正确答案是选项D。

在选项中找重复词这一技巧除了能让考生在还没听到录音时就能提前知道题目所谈的内容外，还可以让考生提前预判题目答案所在的位置。下面笔者以长对话的两道题为例来具体讲解。

例2：10. A） He is a safety inspector.

B） He is Mr. Green’s friend.

C） He is a chemist.

D） He is a salesman.

例3：14. A） She was a pupil of a famous European violinist.

B） She gave her first performance with her father.

C） She became a professional violinist at fifteen.

D） She began taking violin lessons as a small child.

解析：笔者之所以把这两道题放在一起是因为它们有一个共同特征：选项中重复出现的都是人称代词he或she。考生或许要问：人称代词无法像名词那样代表具体的含义，又怎能提示考题主旨信息？这么简单的重复词找出来有何意义？事实上，这些人称代词很有意义。比如第10题的四个选项都有统一的人称代词he，这说明这道题的四个选项都围绕录音中男士发言的信息展开，因此本题答案信息在男士所说的话中，而女士说的话就不太重要，她的话听不懂也没关系。同理，在第14题中，考生可由重复出现的人称代词she判断出答案信息在女士所说的话中。提前预知答案信息所在的位置，有利于考生在听录音时有重点、有选择地听。

2. 听录音时，注意关键词出现的语句。

关键词指的是专有名词（人名、地名、组织名、国名等）、数字和年份等有标志性的单词，根据这些单词，考生可以对试题涉及的内容在录音中出现的位置进行快速定位。考生在看选项时，找出句中的关键词，播放录音时，就可以根据关键词有重点地听录音，这些关键词所在的位置很可能就是答案信息所在。比如第14题的选项C中出现了at fifteen这个表达，由此考生可以推测本题可能涉及女士在15岁时发生的事情。虽然选项C不一定就是答案，但当录音中提到at fifteen时，也提示考生此处可能是重点内容。不仅选项中的关键词重要，有些选项中没出现但录音中提到的像年份、数字类的关键词也不可忽视。例如2015年6月短文理解一在录音结尾提到：“Some parts of Shakespeare’s life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be left with many questions and few facts.”要知道，录音中会提到特定的某一年，说明这一年发生了重大事件，这里很可能就是答案信息所在。上述录音结尾句恰恰包含了第18题的答案，如下题所示。

例4：18. A） People of his time had little interest in him.

B） His works were adapted beyond recognition.

C） Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire.

D） Writers of his time had no means to protect their

works.

解析：该题的问题是：“Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare’s life will remain a mystery？”根据上面的录音内容可判断答案应为选项C。该选项中提到的fire就是录音中说的the Great London Fire of 1666。通过这道题考生可以看出，录音中含有时间表达的语句往往是听录音的重点。

值得一提的是，第18题是短文理解一的最后一道考题，它的答案出现在录音的最后一句话中。考生会发现，像长对话和短文理解这样长篇幅的选择题都符合“顺序原则”，即答案在录音中出现的顺序和试卷上考题的出题顺序是一一对应的，第一题答案在录音开头，最后一题答案在录音结尾。18题就非常符合这个原则。解题时，考生也可以结合“顺序原则”有条不紊地寻找答案。

听写题

听写题的分值占四级总分值的10%，也是比较重要的一种题型。该题型包括一篇短文，短文中有十个空格，要求考生根据录音内容填写完整。通常来说，听写题是考生比较头疼的一种题型，但自从2013年题型改革去掉句子听写后，此部分的试题难度已经有所降低。

题型特点

听写题中的短文无论录音长度还是题材都与短文理解部分的短文类似，不过答题方式不同。听写题属于主观题，要求考生听完录音后填写试卷上缺省的十个空格。根据往年真题以及2013年改革样题所呈现的规律，在这十个空格中，一般有6～8个空填写单词，2～4个空填写词组。也就是说，单词在听写题中占绝大多数。单词听写只考查名词、动词、形容词、副词四大类实词，拼写简单的虚词一律不作为考点。在词组听写的考查中，每个词组通常包含2～4个单词，以“动词+介词”词组最为常见，考生在背单词时可有针对性地整理相关词组。在此笔者要提醒考生注意：考生在填词组时若有个别单词拼错，则整个空格不得分，不存在仅扣半分的情况。2015年6月听写题考了七个单词，其中有一个名词（decade）、三个动词（prospering、sustain、establish）、两个形容词（opposite、misleading）、一个副词（reasonably），考了三个词组（in simple terms、take into account、using up）。

注意事项

根据往年考试的情况，听写题中最容易出错的是名词和动词，因为这两种词汇在实际运用中变化较多。因此，考生做题时应注意以下两点。

1. 名词要注意单复数的变化。

名词方面，考生要特别注意单复数的变化，尤其注意名词单复数特殊变体的拼写。比如2003年1月的四级听写题就考了species （生物物种）这一“单复同形”的单词。要避免在这一类单纯考查拼写的题目中失分，就需要考生在背单词时多下功夫。例如考生在词汇书上看到属于单复数特殊变体的名词，就摘录出来，平时多看、多记。

2. 动词要注意时态、语态、分词形式等细节。

Conversion 1

W： Hi Leo， why do you say English would become the world language?

M： Well。 For one thing， it’s so commonly used， the only language that is used by more people is Chinese。

W： Why is English spoken by so many people?

M： It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire。 And now of course is the influence of America as well。

W： Many students find English a difficult language to learn。

M： Oh， all languages are difficult to learn。 But English does have two greatest advantages。

W： What are they?

M： Well， first of all， it has a very international vocabulary。 It has many German， Dutch， French， Spanish and Italian words in it。 So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English。 In fact， English has words for many other languages as well。

W： Why is that?

M： Well， partly because English speakers have travelled a lot， they bring back words with them。 So English really does have an international vocabulary。

W： And what is the other advantage of English?

M： It that English grammar is really quite easy。 For example， it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns， adjectives and verbs， not like Latin， Russian and German for example。

W： Why is that?

M： Well， it’s quite interesting actually， it’s because of the French。 When the French ruled England， French was the official language， and only the common people spoke English。 They tried to make their language as simple as possible。 So they made the grammar easier。

No one knows for sure just how old kites are。 In fact， they have been in use for centuries。 25 centuries ago， kites were well-known in China。 These first kites were probably made of wood。 They may even have been covered with silk， because silk were used a lot at that time。 Early kites were built for certain uses。 In ancient China， they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers。 Once across， the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them。 Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies’ camp。 The enemy fled， believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels。 By the 15th century， many people flew kites in Europe。 Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China。 The kite has been linked to great names and events。 For instance， Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity。 He flew the kite in the storm。 He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds。 He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line。 The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body。 Benjamin’s idea was first laughed at。 But later on， it enlightened the invention of the lightening rod。 With such grand history， kite flying is short remain an entertaining and popular sport。

Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard。

Question 16： What does the speaker say about kite?

Question 17： What did ancient Chinese use cats to do?

Question 18： Why did BF flied a kite in the storm?

短文2

I have learnt many languages， but I’m not mastered them the way the professional interpreter or translator has。 Still， they have open doors for me。 They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs。 Like many people who have lived overseas for a while， I simply got crazy about it。 I can’t image living my professional or social life without international interactions。 Since 1977， I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States。 I like going to new places， eating new foods and experiencing new cultures。 If you can speak the language， it’s easier to get to know the country and its people。 If I had the time and money。 I would live for a year in as many countries as possible。 Beyond my career， my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities。 Once， just after I returned my year in Vienna。 I was asked to translate for a German judge at Olympic level horse event and learned a lot about the sport。

In Japan， once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show， I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought。 They asked” Was it as good as American beef?” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV， speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was。

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you’ve just heard。

Question 19 What does the speaker say about herself?

Question 20 What does the speaker say about many people who have lived overseas for a while?

Question 21 How did the speaker experience of living in Vienna benefit her?

Question 22 What was the speaker asked to do in the Japanese studio?

Part 4 听写题

When you look up at the night sky, what do you see? There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun. Some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky. In any given year, about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can’t see them all of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit bought relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won’t be back for another 4 thousand years or so.

此次听力考试短对话部分的难度并不大，得分相对容易。短对话考查的场景多与日常生活相关，偏僻生词较少，比较容易理解。但此次短对话中也出现了专业性较强的场景和词汇，例如第15题考查了与政治相关的场景，第16题考查了与科技相关的场景。为了更好地应对此类专业场景，考生还需打好词汇基础，熟悉相关的词汇表达，如第15和16题中出现的prime minister (首相，总理)、cabinet (内阁)、shuttle (航天飞机)、broadcast (广播)等词。只有在打好词汇基础后，考生才能更准确地理解原文，做出正确判断。

在做短对话题目时，考生要始终铭记短对话的出题理念：无论是四级还是六级听力，短对话部分的核心考点都在于考查考生能否体会对话的“弦外之音”，即说话人最终想表达的内容。不过，短对话的“弦外之音”很多时候都隐藏在字里行间，不是考生能够清楚听到的细节表述。不熟悉这一规律的考生很可能会掉入命题人所设置的陷阱：命题人往往以短对话中的某一细节来设置选项，使选项与录音内容出现“部分对应”的情况，但实际上该“部分对应”选项并非说话人所表达的“弦外之音”。因此，考生在听录音时，要尽可能把握对话最终想表达的内容，不要为“部分对应”选项所迷惑，例如短对话的第14题。

14. What does the man mean?

A. He is too busy to accept more responsibility.

B. He is interested in improving his editing skills.

C. He is eager to be nominated the new editor.

D. He is sure to do a better job than Simon.

解析：在这道题的录音中，第一个说话人(woman)说了这样一句话：“Since Simon will graduate this May, the school paper needs a new editor. So if you are interested, I will be happy to nominate you.”这句话很好理解，唯一有点难度的是nominate一词，表示“推荐”之意。我们来看第二个说话人(man)的回答：“Thanks for considering me. But the baseball team is starting up a new season. And I’m afraid I have a lot on my hands. ”熟悉短对话出题规律的考生都知道，短对话的解题线索和考点通常集中在第二个说话人所说的话中，这道题目的解题突破点便是第二个说话人所说的but一词。即使考生没听清楚but后面的内容，根据该词以及其后出现的I’m afraid，考生都能判断出这句话的语气转向了“负向”，其“弦外之音”是指第二个说话人无法接任editor一职。下面来看四个选项。选项B、C、D中分别出现了(以原形或变形的形式)录音中的词汇interested、editing、nominated和Simon，出现了与录音内容“部分对应”的情况，但这三项所表达的意思都与短对话的“弦外之音”相去甚远，因此表面看起来与录音内容关系不大的选项A实为正确答案。

考生若熟悉了短对话的出题规律，善于发现“部分对应”选项的陷阱，便能轻松排除这些干扰选项，提高做题准确率。但需要强调的一点是，此类题目的正确选项通常是录音内容的同义替换或总结，迷惑选项通常含有录音中能明确听辨出来的信息，但并不是说正确答案一定不会出现录音中的细节信息或关键词，或只要含有原文信息的选项就一定是错误选项。考生不应将这些解题技巧绝对化，而应将其仅作为一种辅助答题手段，最重要的还是要在平时苦练听力基本功，做题时注意理性分析，合理利用出题规律，学会揣摩出题人的意图。

下面我们再来看短对话中难度较大的第13题。

13. What are the speakers talking about?

A. Arranging a bed for a patient.

B. Rescuing the woman’s uncle.

C. A complicated surgical case.

D. Preparation for an operation.

解析：这道题主要考查了两点内容：①对单词发音的辨别；②对录音中关键词的把握。

对单词发音的辨别在近几次的考试中并不多见，属于比较新的考查点。在这道题的录音中，第一个说话人(man)说了这样一句话：“Hello, this is Dr. Martin from the Emergency Department. I have a male patient with a fractured ankle. ”有些考生可能对这句话中的fractured (断裂的)和ankle (踝)有些生疏，而命题者恰恰在ankle一词上做了文章(设置了迷惑选项B)，考查考生是否能听辨“ankle /æŋk(ə)l/”与“uncle /ʌŋk(ə)l/”的发音(两者相比，前者口型更大)。相信大部分考生是可以听出来的，但平时对发音不注意或不敏感的考生可能就会遇到判断障碍，导致选错答案。2011年12月四级听力短对话中也考查了考生对日常口语、俚语表达的掌握情况。根据这两次听力考试传递的信号，我们可以预测到，对口语和实用英语的考查也许会成为将来听力考试的一个趋势。这就要求考生在备考听力的同时不要忽略对口语的练习。

此外，这道题还考查了考生对关键词bed的把握。在这道题的录音中，第二个说话人(woman)是这样回答的：“Oh, we have one bed available in ward 3. Send him here and I will take care of him.”这句话中的bed一词即是答题的关键，该词看似简单，但由于录音的语速较快，考生稍不留意便会错过。这也提醒考生在听录音时要高度集中注意力。此外，第二个人所说的话中也出现了一个生僻单词ward (病房)。由此看来，如果考生已熟悉看病就医类词汇，就能轻松抓住对话中的关键词。否则，如果词汇掌握不精，反应时间较长，则考点稍纵即逝。根据第二个说话人的回答，考生可知这道题的正确答案为选项A。选项B、C、D中出现的词汇uncle、complicated和operation都与对话内容不符。

长对话

此次考试听力部分的两个长对话都以商务为背景，但这两个对话录音内容的难度不一：第一篇属于采访类对话，较为容易；第二篇属于谈判类对话，难度稍大。这两个长对话都考查了相关的商务表达，包括manufacture (制造)、stock (库存)、outlet (销路)、negotiate (谈判)等。下面笔者就与考生共同分析一下第二个长对话。

第二个长对话是关于一次商业活动谈判，就是否延期和如何收费展开讨论。考生需要通过对话来推测谈话双方的身份，还要凭借说话人的语气和话外音去理解对话的内容。就行文的思路来说，第二个对话还是遵循了一贯的规律：先提出问题，再分析问题，最后解答问题。在题目的设置方面，选项本身并不难，难的是考生如何对对话中繁多的信息进行判断。例如此对话中出现了与数字以及价格有关的题目，数字本身并不难听懂，难的是考生如何把数字及其对应的事件结合起来。这就要求考生在做题之前提前预览题目及其选项，划出其中出现的数字等信息，在听录音时要尤其注意听这些数字所关联的事件。下面我们来看第24题。

24. What does the woman propose as a solution to the problem?

A．Run another four-week campaign.

B．Give her a 10 percent discount.

C．Extend the campaign to next year.

D．Cut the fee by half for this year.

解析：这道题询问女方解决问题的方案，所以考生要尽量回顾女方说的话，尤其是涉及数字的部分。根据“题文同序”原则(指在听力考试题目中，题目的顺序与其答案信息在录音材料中出现的顺序通常是一致的)，这道题为第二个长对话的第三道题(总计四道题)，因此其答案信息应位于长对话的中部偏后部分。这道题答案对应的录音信息为：“We are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we will only pay 50% of the fee for this year.”以及“How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign?”考生在听到这两句话时，要对女方所用的“we are asking ...”“How about ...”句式提高警惕，这是常用的表示要求或建议的表达，对应题干中的propose一词。下面我们来分析四个选项，其中选项A中的four-week是男方提到的数字，为迷惑选项；选项B中的10 percent应为40%；选项C错在只提及extend ... to next year，但并没有提及费用(for free)；选项D中的cut the fee by half是录音材料中pay 50% of the fee的同义替换，为正确答案。

短文理解题

此次的短文理解题遵循了这一题型一贯的出题原则：题文平衡性原则，即如果听力录音材料的篇幅长、难度大，题目就相对简单。此次短文听力材料本身的难度较大，专业词汇也较多，加大了考生的解题难度。但其相应的题目设置并不难，题目的正确答案多为听力材料中的原形或同义替换。利用解答短文理解题常用的“视听基本一致”原则(即与录音材料中的内容越接近的选项，其作为正确答案的可能性越高)，考生可以轻松确定某些题目的答案。因此，尽管听力材料稍有难度，但是解题却是有法可循，所以建议广大考生不要面对困难就轻易放弃，而是要静下心来去听，尽力去理解、记忆。

按照短文理解以往的出题规律，三个短文中通常会有一个是故事、传记类的题材，比较易于理解。此次的短文理解题也不例外，录音中的第三个短文便讲述了一段趣闻，相信考生通过联想或虚拟场景的方式很容易理解。下面我们来看一下第三个短文的第35题。

35. What can we say about the speaker?

A. He watches TV programs only selectively.

B. He doesn’t like watching sports programs.

C. He can’t resist the temptation of TV either.

D. He is not a man who can keep his promise.

解析：这个短文的意思很好理解：作者一直在对正在看电视的舍友进行说教，强调看电视如何不好，并且列举出了详细的原因。这道题是第三个短文的最后一题，根据“题文同序”原则，考生可将答案信息定位在对话的最后部分。而对话的最后部分也是整个对话最幽默、最具讽刺意味的地方：当舍友说要换台时(“Anyway, I’ve been planning to watch the football game. I am going to change the channel.”)，作者却不愿意了，说了这样一句话：“ Don’t touch that dial! I wanted to find out how the mystery turns out!”句中的mystery在短文开头部分也出现过，指的是作者的舍友正在看的“神秘谋杀案”。通过分析作者的这句话，考生可知作者自己虽然正襟危坐地讲述电视的危害，但他也拒绝不了电视的诱惑，由此可知正确答案应为选项C。

复合式听写

此次复合式听写材料属于社科类题材，涉及的专业术语很多，不容易理解。但就单词听写部分来看，其难度并不大，考查的还是比较常见的名词、形容词和动词。考生需要注意时态变化的动词并不多，只有identifying (确定)一词；需要注意名词单复数变化的也只有vessels (血管)一词。不过，此次复合式听写的单词虽较为简单，但与四级考试的复合式听写相比，词汇的难度也明显加大，所以考生切不可掉以轻心。
