在大学英语四级听力考试中，对答题效果有直接影响的因素主要有两个，一个是考生的词汇量，另一个则是听录音时候的一些捕捉信息的技巧。词汇量主要靠的是考生在平时的词汇记忆和听、读能力，而技巧考的是考生在短时间内对所听到的有限信息进行发散思维的能力。下面我们就来谈一谈四级听力考试时听力词汇时需要注意的几种关键词。
     一、转折性词汇
     如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.

　　二、逻辑类词汇
　　表原因：because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to;表结果：therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;表递进：apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.

　　三、最高级词汇
　　形容词和副词的最高级最需要关注，如most importantly, the most popular... the biggest of...

　　四、事实罗列词汇
　　在诸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.这些词汇后可能是关键的考点

　　五、序数词
　　如the first, firstly and finally

　　六、情态动词
　　如 got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc

　　七、重要形容词
　　表示重要的词本身就很重要呢，如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.
