Section C Compound Dictation

Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts some day may survive so long in space that they would return to an earth of the distant future.

If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still, if you could move faster than light, your time would move backward. Although no form of matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific experiments has already confirmed that accelerated motion causes a traveler’s time to be stretched. Albert Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concept of relative time as part of his special theory of relativity. A search is now under way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter that move at a speed greater than light. And therefore, might serve as our passports to the past. An obsession with time, saving, gaming, wasting, losing and mastering it, seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time. Einstein used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus time and time’s relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.

復(fù)合式聽寫評析

本文提要：

本篇屬于科技類文章，主要圍繞時間和運動的關(guān)系展開；用諺語開篇引出全文，很有吸引力。中間引用愛因斯坦的相對論，具體闡述主題。

解題密鑰：

聽類似文章時首先要注意把握邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)，也即聽第一遍聽時把握大意，先不要急于填寫所有空缺，重點是要縷清思路，聽懂文章在說什么，記錄關(guān)鍵信息詞；有了對文章整體的把握后，第二遍聽時就容易許多，這時就可以把空缺進量補齊，注意填句部分不一定非得按原文填寫，只要意思相近就行；第三遍是最后一遍，此時要邊聽邊檢查已填寫空缺，另外也可補填遺漏。

聽力音頻結(jié)束后，可對所填詞匯進行檢查，此時主要根據(jù)語法知識保證詞形，詞性準(zhǔn)確無誤；另外也可重新組織語句，完善填句部分。
