一.题型剖析
这部分为主观试题。要求考生准确填写出试题中的空缺部分。
听写文字内容长度为350词左右,语速为每分钟150词左右。 录音朗读时间2-3分钟。
试题中有20处标号的空缺部分要求考生填写,填写部分的单词、短语长度为2-6个单词。
听写内容播放后有4-5分钟时间供考生填写。
注意:
A高级口译听力考试中的所有录音材料只放一遍,ONLY ONCE。
难点阐述
听不出——不能准确听辨所要填写的信息。
记不下——虽然能听辨出信息,但来不及记下来。
Mine:
听辨不出的重要问题在于:没有扎实掌握语言“四要素”(语音、词汇、语法、文化背景)。语言的“四要素”是听力提高的实力基础。只有步步为营、稳扎稳打、认真掌握,听力才会有质的飞跃;也只有这样,才会有“不管风吹浪打,胜似闲庭信步”的从容。
由于空格与空格之间的时间间隔短,不可能把单词全部拼写出来。所以要掌握一套简写符号。
二.技巧速成
22字原则:
边听边看边写,善用简写,不懂放弃,语法复查,小心誊抄。
解析:
1.边听边看边写
Spot-dictation 要求考生一边听录音,一边填写出文章中的空白。可是往往考生容易出现两种失误:要么把文章中已经有的内容当作了听写内容现在了空格中;要么看串了空格,把第五空填在第六空,第六空写在第七空...形成了恶性循环(vicious circle)。
所以在听和写的同时,必须留心下一个空的位置。只有要耳、眼、手并用,才能顺利解题。
2.善用简写
“求全”是很多考生做这个大题时的心理。但就是这个“求全”的心理造成了考生的失分。由于空格与空格之间的时间间隔短,空格中单词的数目不定,考生如果记下一个空格的所有每个单词,往往会漏听了下面一个甚至几个空格。所以要尽可能的使用简写符号,以保证能成功地捕捉到下一个空格。
3.不懂放弃
高级口译听力中遇到个别不熟悉的单词和词组是很正常的。听音过程中没有时间琢磨和推敲,遇到不懂的词句只能果断放弃。
4.语法检查
注意:听音的时候一边听一边写到试卷上,最后写在答题纸上。19空和20空直接写在答题纸上
