二、听的练习的具体指导
（一）听力能力是重点
在高考中听力共20小题，每小题1.5分，一般为10段材料。其中1-5段为简单对话，读1遍。6-9段为较长对话，每段设计2-3题，读2遍。第10段为独白，设计2-3题，读2遍。一般来讲，后两段读速较快，要求较高。从现在社会环境要求方面看，听、说能力的高低是一个人英语水平高低的表现形式，与人交往离不开听、说的能力，因此重视听的能力是首要任务，听得懂才能说得出。每天应坚持听的练习20-30分钟，一定听的输入必然会有听的收获。
（二）听力能力的训练方法
1、模仿磁带，注意发音，学习准确的语音、语调，力求发音标准、漂亮。课本录音带及其它相关有声材料都是很好的训练材料。
2、坚持精听和泛听相结合。精听是指使用有材料的听力训练。可采取先听后看的方法，即在阅读听力材料之前先听2-3遍，再翻开材料边听边读，对已知和未知的内容有了一定了解，然后再合上书，边听边理解，直到全部材料都能听懂并跟上它的速度。泛听是指抽空随意地听，可以是无材料可循的内容。如收听英语广播，调频91.5兆赫，VOA（美国之音）《空中英语教室》节目，收看CCTV9，《新概念》第二册等，甚至在平时收看外国影片时也能学习英语，训练听的能力。
3、听的训练是在坚持不懈的努力中，循序渐进的，既不可操之过急，也不能只想不干。听力时间的保证也是提高听力能力必不可少的条件，每天可以利用早晨起床后，上学路上的这些时间，休息闲暇中都可听英语。

Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation (请帖) on his desk.

Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight (体重), and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick(戏弄) had worked. Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.
At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings, Cindy had second thoughts.
