改革后的英語六級考試更注重語言的運用能力,也更加側(cè)重聽力部分的實操技能。

六級聽力講座部分一定要要重視首段的功效,因為其往往點出一篇文章的主題,為這篇文章的走勢方向打下基調(diào)。當是面對篇幅較長、題材多樣、內(nèi)容豐富的六級的講座,只理解開篇或許能夠幫助大家拿到一部分分數(shù),要想取得更高分數(shù),那么就需要一些輔助的招數(shù),教給大家一個被人們忽略卻非常重要的技巧——預(yù)測。

有不少同學(xué)把重點放在聽文章上,聽耳邊出現(xiàn)的每一個單詞,試圖將耳邊的音符譯成漢語,結(jié)果是不盡人意,后面的內(nèi)容很可能不知所云,內(nèi)心也是異常焦躁。其實,就像日常生活中我們同別人交流常常會考慮對方接下來會說些什么一樣,我們在英文聽力中,在把握文章主題,抓住段落中的關(guān)鍵詞和核心概念后,也應(yīng)該迅速激活自己在該話題領(lǐng)域的相關(guān)知識,對可能聽到的內(nèi)容進行合理預(yù)測。能夠運用預(yù)測的技巧合理推測后文內(nèi)容從而做到和作者的思想交流,對于我們掌握整篇文章起著事半功倍的效用,所以大家一定要重視預(yù)測這一聽力技巧。

現(xiàn)在我們來聽一篇六級聽力講座題:

原文釋義:

很多人或許沒有意識到,但是溫室效應(yīng)和全球變暖是兩種完全不同的事。溫室效應(yīng)是所有有大氣層的天體都會出現(xiàn)的現(xiàn)象,比如行星、月球,等等。不管怎樣,繼續(xù)說溫室效應(yīng)。當太陽的熱量進入地球大氣層時,就會出現(xiàn)溫室效應(yīng)。太陽光使地表暖和起來,而大氣層將熱量保存起來,就像個溫室一樣。溫室效應(yīng)是一個十分自然的過程,多數(shù)情況下,地球系統(tǒng)自有辦法保持平衡??傊?,就像我說的,它是一個很自然的過程。

當人類在大氣中增加了很多物質(zhì)時,所有的這一切就變糟糕了。那時候就會出現(xiàn)很不自然的過程——全球變暖。全球變暖是由于人們制造了很多排放多余熱量的事物。比如,汽車。我們一直都在開車。我們開車,車會產(chǎn)生氣體,而這些氣體溫度較高。大氣層將這些熱量保存在地球周圍。另外,我們的機器、工廠等等,都會產(chǎn)生熱量。所有這些東西就造成了科學(xué)家所說的全球變暖。地球表面和大氣層都變得越來越暖。

現(xiàn)在全球變暖有很多負面影響,但是我覺得全球變暖最大的問題之一就是極地冰蓋和冰川的融化。我們的地球在兩極地區(qū)都有大量的冰川覆蓋。出現(xiàn)全球變暖以后,地球的整體溫度上升。這帶來的影響就是極地冰雪融化。那么冰雪融化時,就會變成水,流入海洋。這會使海平面上升。也會造成嚴重洪災(zāi)。

問題釋義:

問題23 溫室效應(yīng)和全球變暖的區(qū)別是什么?

問題24 根據(jù)發(fā)言人,為什么會出現(xiàn)全球變暖?

問題25 發(fā)言人對全球變暖最大的擔(dān)憂是什么?

參考答案:

【小題23】D
【小題24】C
【小題25】A

習(xí)題解析:

【小題23】聽力原文在對溫室效應(yīng)進行解釋說明之后總結(jié)說Anyway, like I said, it's a pretty natural process. 指出溫室效應(yīng)是一個十分自然的過程。隨后說到人類在大氣中增加了很多物質(zhì)時,所有的這一切就變糟糕了,并緊接著提到That's when global warming, which is not a natural process, happens.由此可見,全球變暖不是自然過程,而是人類使然,因此D項表述正確,故選D。

【小題24】聽力原文中在說到全球變暖并非自然過程之后,提到See, what happens is that people create, um, things that create extra heat.由此可知,全球變暖是由于人們制造了很多排放多余熱量的事物,故選C。A、B兩項在聽力原文中并未提及,D項中提到了消耗汽油的汽車,但這只是造成全球變暖的一個因素,并不能概括所有因素,故排除。

【小題25】聽力原文中提到Now global warming has many negative effects, but I think one of the biggest problems with global warming is the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers.指出在演講者看來,全球變暖的最大問題在于極地冰雪融化,因而A項表述正確,故選A。其他幾項在聽力原文中并未提及,均排除。
