2021年1月7日发(作者：柳玉芳)
听力概况

在四六级考试中，听力部分从2006年6月起由过去20%的比例上升 为35%，是所有部分中
唯一比例上涨的题目。(阅读从过去的40%下降到目前的35%，而过去词汇 和结构部分已经
取消。)有消息称，国家四六级出题委员会即将在2012年左右全面推行计算机四六级 考试。
其中，听力部分将达到70%的内容。在现行的四六级笔考中，听力部分的比例和题型完全
一致，但是在长度、词汇选择难度、主题的深度上都有差别。另外，四六级听力部分的语速
并没有明显 差别，均维持在90—100词/每分钟。语音为美音主导之下的美音与英音的混合。

听力题目构成与比例

小对话： 8% 选择题 共8道对话，每题长约1分钟
长对话： 7% 选择题 共2段对话，每段长约3分钟
听力短文： 10% 选择题 共3篇文章，每篇长约3分钟
复合式听写：10% 听写填空 填8个单词和三句话，放音三遍，共计8分钟
听力位于考试的卷二部分，共占全卷35%。

听力选择题目的一般性做题规律

小对话：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，当你发现被读到的单词或短语在选项中明显出现的< br>时候，此选项更容易是错的。同义替换是指，若发现选项中的单词和短语是听力原文中出现
的同义 和近义替换，则选项容易为正确。

例题：2006年6月四级考试第9题

is talkative B. Helen is active C. Helen is sociable D. Helen is quite

原文：

M：We’ve got three women researchers in our group, Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know them?

W: Sure, Mary is active and sociable. Betty is the most talkative woman I’ve ever met. But guess
what?Helen is just the opposite.

Q: what do we know from the conversation?

解析：可以明显看出，本题的答案为D.其中，另外三项的形容词都被读到，而quite恰 好是
talkative与opposite组合的一个同义替换。

例题：2008年12月四级考试第17题

A) She wants to get some sleep.
B) She needs time to write a paper.
C) She has a literature class to attend.
D) She is troubled by her sleep problem.

原文：

M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?

W: I'd love to, but I'm exhausted.(疲惫) I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my
literature class.



Q: Why does the woman decline the man's invitation?

解析：准确答案A。用来替换I'm exhausted(疲倦)，同义替换，听到的慎选。

长对话和短文听力：视听基本一致原则

视听基本一致的含义是指，听到 的原文和看到的选项若基本一致，则选项容易为正确选择。
这一点和短对话的原则恰恰相反，请考生一定 注意。

environment. They also say，the person should have a lively and inquiring mind，effective

项 是就都错了。本句含义为，他们同时说，这个人需要有活泼好学的性格，
有效的交流技巧，既有个人能力 又可以成为团队一员。)

W：Well，if I stay on my present job much longer，I won’t have any mind or skills left.(作对第

答案：A B C D

原文：

When couples get married，they usually plan to have children，Sometimes，however，a couple can
not have a child of their own. In this case，they may decide to adopt a child. In fact，adoption is
very common today. There are about 60,000 adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some
people prefer to adopt infants. Others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from
their own families，they all adopt children for the same reason. They care about children(第26题)
and want to give their adopted child a happy life.



Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and childcare experts generally
think this is a good idea. However，many adopted children or adoptees have very little information
about their biological parents. As a matter of fact，it is often very difficult for adoptees
their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually
sealed. The information is secret，(第27题)so no one can see it.

Naturally，adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want
to search for them，but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to
adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. (第28题)Even
though adoptees do not know about their natural parents，they do know that their adoptive parents
want them，love them and will care for them.
