一、听力测试的准备与应试
听力是语言交际诸项能力中主要靠听觉捕捉信息的一种能力。听力理解力的强弱是语言多种能力的综合反映。听力测试在高考中占30分,比例不小。一般考九个对话和一篇短文,对话是由一男一女朗读的。试题的语速为每分钟120-140个词,比英美人一般语速每分钟140-150个词略慢。试题前有试听段落,基本没有生词但有个别难句。读音标准,英美音都有。对话的重点包括表示看法、活动安排、购物、看病、就餐、旅游以及打电话等日常生活内容。对话和短文后所问问题包括话题、人物关系、态度观点、顺序、计算、原因、结果、时间、地点及职业。
在做听力测试时,一定要调整好心态,紧张、焦虑、不安都不利于捕捉声音信息。试听时,应注意听,争取理解大意。试听可以熟悉讲话者的语音语调,使学生注意力集中,尽快转向英语思维。播放录音前,尽量争取将下一对话的问题看一下。带着问题听,可集中注意主要的信息,效果肯定好。其实两题之间有10秒的停顿,这10秒可以省出三四秒看看下一题。学会预测,对理解全文意义重大。边听边在草稿纸上用自己熟悉的简单符号速记数字、地名、人名等。 有的对话或独白要读两遍,第一遍不必追求全听懂,有些听不懂是很自然的,努力抓住大意就是好的。第二遍再结合问题听要点,以便答题。学会抓住关键词。一个关键词就能解决一道题。
听的能力是在听的实践中提高的。任何理论的讲解都是辅助性的。有志于提高听力的同学,应该赶紧打开录音机,利用一切机会,多听、勤听。熟能生巧,经过一段时间练习,听力肯定会有提高。要精听泛听相结合。泛听主要练习听大意或部分内容,不必什么都听懂。泛听对培养良好的感觉,提高听力技巧也是重要的。材料的选取要难易适度,并注意趣味性。 不要一开始就练听太难的东西,这样,会挫伤积极性,欲速则不达。掌握正确的语音语调。听者本人的语音语调正确,在听的过程中的语音识别能力就强。要学会抓住主要信息,忽略非主流信息,要练习看到问题和听到某一词时能迅速预测下面内容。另外, 听说读写是互相联系、互相影响的。要想听力提高,不但要多听,还应重视说、读和写。某些阶段有所侧重是应该的,但不能偏废任何一方面。一个读写能力强、说的也不错的人,是很容易提高他的听的能力的。
