2009年6月英语四级听力答案和点评

Section A

难度等级最高为“五星”

11.

W: There were more than a hundred people at kate's birthday party. How come she's got so many friends?

M: It's really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a child

Q: What does the man imply about Kate?

解析：

选D，She has always enjoyed great popularity

难度等级：三星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

意义解释题，AD为意思相近选项，B作为唯一场景可排除。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

C可在听到It's really no surprise时排除，最终选同义替换选项D。

12.

M: They say there'll be a snow-storm tonight,  and the cold weather will last quite a few days.

W: Oh! We're so lucky, we'll be getting away for a while, and having a holiday in Florida. But let's call right now to confirm our flight.

Q: What do we learn about the two speakers?

解析：选 C They are going to have a holiday

难度等级：五星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

转折题型，此题有明显干扰选项，易错选成D。CD为相反项，C选项中Be going to do表示“计划确定做某事”，D选项的Not Yet在课堂上专门讲解过，意为“悬而未决的”。两者意义相反，可列为疑似正确答案；A、B选项虽均提及Live,但上课时再三强调预读选项时，重点看句子实义动词处，A为“不习惯”，B是“感到幸运”，故A、B无干扰选项且场景唯一，基本可判定其偏离原文主题。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

男生说：They say there'll be a snow-storm tonight, and the cold weather will last quite a few days.(cold weather为男生话语，并且在第一句，读音非常清楚，根据“听见什么不选什么”，考生应快速排除A选项)。

女生接着：Oh! We're so lucky, we'll be getting away for a while,  and having a holiday in Florida. But let's call right now to confirm our flight.

（听到转折项标志词，前半句主句lucky内容瞬间被否定，听力重点转移至BUT后面“confirm our flight”，证明票已定但未确认，所以D不正确，此类场景词和做题步骤曾在课堂上做过专门讲解。）

13.

W: Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire.

M: I really admire his courage.

Q: What do we learn about Tony from the conversation?

解析：选 B He was very courageous

难度等级：四星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

CD为相反选项但未出答案，属例外考点，但出题点本身同义替换简单，原文Courage替换成Courageous.

While-Listening（听时重点）：

本题难点在于考官未按常规出题原则设置原文和选项特征，答案即不符合“尾词错误”也跳出了相反选项范围，故听时对短时判断和自身实力的要求更高一些；同时考点过于明显，让人难以相信，可能导致不少考虑过多或死守原则做题的同学出现失误。

14.

M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night.

W: You’ll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest a more recent model.

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

解析：选 B Buy a new washing machine.

难度等级：四星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

因果题型，出题点同义替换难度较大，但相反项明显；BD是相反项，B选项“买新洗衣机”，D却说“旧洗衣机修理后继续用”；A选项场景唯一可排除；还剩C选项，考官用Machine混淆视听，与Washing machine无关，也可听时由You’ll never be able to get parts for it时排除。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

由You’ll never be able to get parts for it再次排除C，原文只字未提fix或关于修理的任何内容，可排除D，对话重点由SO（原因项标志词）引出，最终选B。

15.

W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled.

M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the word load has doubled.

Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

解析：选 D He is not excited about his new position

难度等级：四星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

为转折题型，最大干扰项为B；AD是相反项，A选项谓语“is pleased with”，D选项却说“is not excited”。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

虽然原文分别提到了C、D选项中的workload和office is huge,但说话者在陈述客观事实时并未表达相应的感受，考生切忌“无中生有”，对其心理感受进行想当然的推测；此题解题关键在于预读时能否准确找到AD是相反项，听时再由BUT得出虽被提升但情感却是负面的事实，进而选D。

16.

W: I can’t decide what to do about the party tomorrow.

M: You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, but I’ll be glad to give you a ride if you do.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

解析：选 D The man offers to drive the women to the party

难度等级：三星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

转折题型，重点听BUT后内容。CD是相反项，C提到“女士不知道如何赶到聚会现场”，D说“男士愿意送她去”。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

本题相反选项明显，B选项场景不明，内容不知所云，A选项可听时再作排除。

17.

M: Now if you have any questions about the contract. I’ll be happy to answer them.

W: Nothing comes to mind right now, but I’d like to go over all the articles of the contract once more before signing it.

Q: What are the speakers doing right now?

解析：选C Finalizing a contract

难度等级：三星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

细节+转折题型，预读选项时AC是公司场景，BD是校园学习场景，所以无判定对话主题。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

可由第一句“Now if you have any questions about the contract”确定是公司场景，然后快速排除不符合主题的BD选项，关注BUT后内容可知C正确。

18.

M: We are out of paper for the printer. Can you please order some?

W: I completed the order form online yesterday and it will be here by noon. I’ll let you know when it comes in.

Q: What did the woman do?8. She ordered some paper

解析：选 A She ordered some paper.

难度等级：三星

Pre-Listening(预读分析)：

意义解释题，四个选项背景无明显相同之处，故无法判定相反或相似选项。

While-Listening（听时重点）：

出题点较为明显，听懂I completed the order form online yesterday and it will be here by noon即可。
