短对话部分:
11. A) The man should visit the museums.
B) She can’t stand the hot weather.
C) The beach resort is a good choice.
D) She enjoys staying in Washington.
分析四个选项我们可以发现本题有两个选项侧重she,另外两个侧重点不同,一般四级考试会考两个大致相同的来迷惑考生,而答案往往是非正常的选项。本题答案到底应该是哪一个,我们知道在一问一答的两句式对话当中答案一般出在第二句,再回头浏览下she选项,可以得知she选项分别强调两个动作,一个是can't stand,一个是enjoy,意思截然相反。所以我们可以把第一道题归结为动作题,做动作题,动作题中一般有典型的情态动词出现,情态动词后方的句子一般就是我们的正确答案,本题也不例外。本题原文第二句出现了 I’d be happy here no matter what ..., would后面的be happy here正是我们要选择的答案。here指的正是文中提到的museums and restaurants in Washington,很明显本题答案是D选项She enjoys staying in Washington.
12. A) Her new responsibilities in the company.
B) What her job prospects are.
C) What the customers’ feedback is.
D) The director’s opinion of her work.
在11题中我们讲过,四级考试往往考非常态的,且小对话答案一般出在第二句,在第二句中我们会听到一个词but, 而后方的句子正是本题的答案。 12题和11题有很大的相似性,本题的答案都出现在有would引导的虚拟语气中,回顾2010年6月份的四级考试,我们应该不陌生,虚拟语气出现在小对话中的频率相当之高。所以本题答案为D) The director’s opinion of her work.大多数同学选择了C) What the customers’ feedback is选项,我们讲过小对话中,一般明显提到到的词出现我们是不能选择的,所以C选项应该是首先排除的选项。而feedback的同意替换正是D选项中的opinion。
13. A) Combine her training with dieting.
B) Repeat the training every three days.
C) Avoid excessive physical training.
D) Include weightlifting in the program.
本题和12题一样,答案出现在but之后,我们来看下这句话but whatever you do, be careful not to overdo it.答案C选项Avoid excessive physical training正是be careful not to overdo it的同意替换。另外需要考生注意的一个解题规则就是,ABC三个选项中同时出现了一个词“training”,而D选项跟training毫无关系,四级考题我们讲过一般会考迷惑性的,所以首先D选项可以排除。答案肯定会出在ABC三个选项当中。提前分析选项,会达到事半功倍的效果。
14. A) When she will return home.
B) Whether she can go by herself.
C) Whether she can travel by air.
D) Whether she will completely recover.
在做听力之前,我们分析四个选项可以得知BCD三个选项强调的都是whether,所以可以首先排除A,这三个选项的区别就在于动词的不同,所以本题属于动作考题, would再次出现在第二句话中, recommend against意为不建议做某事 这句话正式B选项的同意转换。
15.A) The woman knows how to deal with the police.
B) The woman had been fined many times before.
C) The woman had violated traffic regulations.
D) The woman is good at finding excuses.
在我们讲过的建议类句型中,有这样一句话:why don’t you do sth? 强调的是you should do sth.本题第一句话就是此句型的运用,所以大家应该能想到答案肯定就是这句话的同意转述,回头看下第一句话:Why didn’t you stop when we first signaled you at the crossroads?这句话的意思正好和C选项相吻合。
16.A) Switch off the refrigerator for a while.
B) Have someone repair the refrigerator.
C) Ask the men to fix the refrigerator.
D) Boy a refrigerator of better quality.
浏览选项,我们可以得知本题是典型动作题, 所以要关注对话中出现的情态动词,第一句话中should正式出现,其答案就在其后,正确选项为B选项。
17. A) He owns a piece of land in the downtown area.
B) He has got enough money to buy a house.
C) He can finally do what he has dreamed of.
D) He is moving into a bigger apartment.
本题是这八道短对话中最具迷惑性的一道,但是运用小对话解题原则,我们不难发现其中规律,运用排除法,听到的都排除,此题答案就不难得出。
18. A) She is black and blue all over.
B) She has to go to see a doctor.
C) She stayed away form work for a few days.
D) She got hurt in an accident yesterday.
本题和17题属于一个类型,强调的是she,所以我们要关注女士的话语,第一句话正是本题的答案。
小结:
2010年12月份的四级听力原则上遵循了历年听力出题规律,值得考生注意的是2010年6月和12月虚拟语气在小对话中出现的频率都相当高,这类题只需要注意情态动词答案就不难选出,另外一类就是转折考题,转折词的出现,也就意味着问题的到来;除此之外,排除法在本次的短对话中起到了非常重要的作用(见17/18题)。
