大学英语六级考试是英语能力考试,重点考察学生的英语能力,是许多用人单位非常重视的、代表学生英语水平的权威考试。在英语六级考试中,听力考试占的比重非常大,而且听力开始的小对话,间隔时间短且只播放一遍,很容易错过答案。那么,在六级听力考试中,针对小对话,有哪些解题技巧呢?

1、视听反向原则、同义替换原则。

视听反向原则是指,在小对话的题目中,看似明显被读到的选项反而更容易是错的。但须注意,当小对话原文本身较长或生僻词较多时,该原则可能会出现特例,如03年6月第8题。

同义替换是指,若某一选项中的单词或短语是听力原文中单词或短语的同义形式,则该选项容易为正确。

例题:

2010年6月六级考试第11题

A) The man failed to keep his promise.

B) The woman has a poor memory.

C) The man borrowed the book from the library.

D) The woman does not need the book any more.

原文:

M: Oh, I’m so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library.

W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won’t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK?

Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

解析:可以明显看出,本题的答案为A.其中,另外三项的大部分单词或短语都被读到。

例题:

2010年6月六级考试第13题

A) The printing on her T-shirt has faded.

B) It is not in fashion to have a logo on a T-shirt.

C) She regrets having bought one of the T-shirts.

D) It is not a good idea to buy the T-shirt.

原文:

M: I think I’ll get one of those new T-shirts, you know, with the school’s logo on both the front and back.

W: You’ll regret it. They are expensive, and I’ve heard the printing fades easily when you wash them.

Q: What does the woman mean?

解析:准确答案D。其中A和C中都有若干单词被读中,听到的慎选。

例题:

2010年6月六级考试第18题

A) The speakers will dress formally for the concert.

B) The man will return home before going to the concert.

C) It is the first time the speakers are attending a concert.

D) The woman is going to buy a new dress for the concert.

原文:

M: Honey, I’ll be going straight to the theatre from work this evening. Could you bring my suit and tie along?

W: Sure, it’s the first performance of the State Symphony Orchestra in our city, so suit and tie is a must.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

解析:准确答案A。容易错选C,听到的慎选。正确答案A 中,dress formally和suit and tie同义替换。

2、动作题的处理方式。

选项均以动词原形或to do形式开头的题目为动作题。放音时,注意抓情态动词(如could, should, would, may, can, have to, must等)和建议/请求句型(如Why not do…, Will you do…),其中包含的主要动作即为该题答案。

例题:

2010年6月六级考试第15题

A) Leave Daisy alone for the time being.

B) Go see Daisy immediately.

C) Apologize to Daisy again by phone.

D) Buy Daisy a new notebook.

原文:

M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her and apologize to again?

W: Well, if I were you, I’d let her cool off a few days before I approach her.

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

解析:准确答案A。这是一道动作题,原文中出现建议句型if I were you, I’d…所以答案即是…let her cool off a few days before I approach her的同义替换形式。此题另一难点在于A选项中短语for the time being意思是“目前暂时”。

英语六级听力是六级考生需重点提高的内容之一,各位在备考时一定不要松懈。其实,英语六级小对话的考题相对来说还是比较简单的。在考试过程中,考生要快速浏览题目,留意关键字词,在备考过程中,进行总计和归纳,掌握小对话的出题原则。这样备考,相信您一定可以攻破听力小对话哦!
