高考英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力解題法則之結(jié)構(gòu)法則（Ⅱ）（學(xué)生版）

PAGE1PAGE高考英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力解題法則Ⅲ——結(jié)構(gòu)法則（Ⅱ）一：基礎(chǔ)方法論述在高考聽(tīng)力考試中,我們從卷面上能看到每道題的題目及選項(xiàng),因此,根據(jù)選項(xiàng)及題目推測(cè)問(wèn)題的內(nèi)容就顯得尤為重要。通過(guò)分析選項(xiàng)我們發(fā)現(xiàn),三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的結(jié)構(gòu)或句式基本一致,且都有一些共同的規(guī)律。利用這些選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn),再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ),我們可以預(yù)測(cè)出問(wèn)題是針對(duì)什么提問(wèn)的,并以此來(lái)判斷我們的聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)在哪里。下面是幾種常見(jiàn)的選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn)、不同選項(xiàng)的考查類型以及相應(yīng)的聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn):選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)考察類型聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)形容詞態(tài)度或評(píng)價(jià)形容詞處地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景地點(diǎn)表地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景的關(guān)鍵詞角色關(guān)系角色或關(guān)系表人物身份的關(guān)鍵詞時(shí)間數(shù)字信息時(shí)間或數(shù)字的計(jì)算時(shí)間數(shù)字處二：例題講解及思路分析例題Ⅴ：選項(xiàng)均以形容詞開(kāi)頭選項(xiàng)均為形容詞的題目一般可分為兩類:一是考查講話者的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度,此類題目一般需要綜合推斷才能得出答案;二是考查聽(tīng)力材料中提到的某人或某機(jī)構(gòu)對(duì)人或事物的評(píng)價(jià),此類題目只需捕捉關(guān)鍵詞并找出選項(xiàng)中的近義詞即可。1：WhatdidBenCarson'sclassmatesandteachersthinkofhimwhenhewasfirstatschool??選項(xiàng)分析AStupid.選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)描述人物性格或特點(diǎn)的形容詞BActive.考查類型對(duì)某一人物的評(píng)價(jià)CBrave.聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)人物評(píng)價(jià)的地方以及相關(guān)形容詞聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯呈現(xiàn)：…..Tohisclassmatesandeventohisteachers,hewasthoughtofasthedumbestkidintheclass,accordingtohisownnotsofondmemories...根據(jù)原文分析：答案選擇項(xiàng)例題Ⅵ：選項(xiàng)均為地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景很明顯,這類選項(xiàng)的問(wèn)題考查的是“地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景”。此類題目一般可分為兩類,一是考查對(duì)話發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)或場(chǎng)景,二是考查某人所處的位置、曾經(jīng)去過(guò)或?qū)⒁サ牡攸c(diǎn)。聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)一方面要留意能夠體現(xiàn)出選項(xiàng)中地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景的標(biāo)志詞語(yǔ),另一方面要留意與選項(xiàng)中地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景相關(guān)的其他信息,做好筆記。有時(shí),聽(tīng)力材料中可能會(huì)涉及多個(gè)地點(diǎn),因此一定要留意不同地點(diǎn)對(duì)應(yīng)的不同信息,并聽(tīng)清問(wèn)題問(wèn)的是什么,做到對(duì)號(hào)入座。2：Wheredoesthewomanliverightnow?選項(xiàng)分析AHolland.選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景BIndonesia.考查類型對(duì)話發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)或場(chǎng)景、某人所處的位置、曾經(jīng)去過(guò)或?qū)⒁サ牡攸c(diǎn)CEngland.聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)與地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)景相關(guān)的標(biāo)志詞語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯呈現(xiàn)：W:Yeah,it'sreallyhard.That'stherealstrugglebecause,rightnow,IdoliveinHolland,butIreallydon'tsocializemuchwithDutchpeopleandmyboyfriend'sEnglishissogoodthatwejustbasicallyspeakEnglishallthetime...根據(jù)原文分析：答案選擇項(xiàng)例題Ⅶ：選項(xiàng)均為角色關(guān)系選項(xiàng)為人物關(guān)系時(shí),問(wèn)題一般是考查對(duì)話雙方的關(guān)系。選項(xiàng)為人物角色時(shí),問(wèn)題一般是考查聽(tīng)力材料中某個(gè)人物的職業(yè)或身份。聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)要重點(diǎn)捕捉能夠體現(xiàn)人物身份或者關(guān)系的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ),尤其要注意對(duì)話雙方的稱呼語(yǔ),并留意雙方的說(shuō)話語(yǔ)氣。3：WhatrelationisthewomantoMr.Cooper?選項(xiàng)分析A.Hiswife.選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)人物關(guān)系或角色B.Hisboss．．考查類型對(duì)話雙方的關(guān)系、人物職業(yè)或身份C.Hissecretary．聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)表示人物身份或者關(guān)系的關(guān)鍵詞聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯呈現(xiàn)：W:Hello,ThomasBrothers.M:Hello,thisisMikeLandonhere.IsJackCoopertherebyanychance?W:Iamafraidnot,heisawayforadayortwo,backon,let’ssee,Mondaymorning.M:Oh,wellperhapsIcanleaveamessageforhim.W:Yes,ofcourse,justaminute.Now,let’ssee,toJackCooperfromMikeLondon.M:No,Landon,L-a-n-d-o-n.W:Sorry,yes,gotthat,andwhat’sthemessage?M:Wellit’sjustthis:couldhecometoameetingonMondayafternoonat5:00pm?W:That’sthiscomingMonday,October12th?M:Right,it’stodiscussthenewfactoryinFrance.W:Fine,I’vegotthat.IwillseethathegetsitassoonashecomesinonMonday.M:Good,thankyou,goodbye.根據(jù)原文分析：答案選擇項(xiàng)4：Whatistheprobablerelationshipbetweenthespeakers?選項(xiàng)分析A.Bossandsecretary.選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)人物關(guān)系或角色B.Hostessandguest.考查類型對(duì)話雙方的關(guān)系、人物職業(yè)或身份C.Husbandandwife.聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)表示人物身份或者關(guān)系的關(guān)鍵詞聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯呈現(xiàn)：W:Hello,HelenSmithspeaking.CanIhelpyou?M:Hello,thisisDavid.CouldIspeaktoMike,please?W:I'mafraidhe'snotavailableatthemoment.Wouldyouleaveamessage?M:Yes,I'mcallingtocancelthemeetingwescheduledforthisafternoon.W:OK.Letmetakethisdown.CouldIhaveyournameagain?M:Certainly.It'sDavidStone.根據(jù)原文分析：答案選擇項(xiàng)例題Ⅷ：選項(xiàng)均為數(shù)字信息很明顯,這類題目一般是關(guān)于時(shí)間、年齡、數(shù)量、價(jià)格等與數(shù)字相關(guān)的信息的考查。聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)-定要留意聽(tīng)力材料中出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字以及各數(shù)字對(duì)應(yīng)的信息,并做好筆記,而且一定要聽(tīng)清楚問(wèn)題問(wèn)的是什么。5：HowmuchmoredoesDavidneedforthecar?選項(xiàng)分析A.$5,000.選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)間數(shù)字B.$20,000.考查類型關(guān)于時(shí)間、年齡、數(shù)量、價(jià)格等與數(shù)字相關(guān)的信息C.$25,000.聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)材料中出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字以及各數(shù)字對(duì)應(yīng)的信息聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯呈現(xiàn)：W:David,haveyousavedenoughforthecar?M:Ihave$20,000now,andthecarcosts$25,000.Myparentssaidtheywouldliketohelp,butIdon’twanttousetheirmoney.根據(jù)原文分析：答案選擇項(xiàng)6：WhenwillthemanmeetMr.Stonethisafternoon?選項(xiàng)分析A.At3:00.選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)間數(shù)字B.At3:30.考查類型關(guān)于時(shí)間、年齡、數(shù)量、價(jià)格等與數(shù)字相關(guān)的信息C.At3:45.聽(tīng)音重點(diǎn)材料中出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字以及各數(shù)字對(duì)應(yīng)的信息聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯呈現(xiàn)：M:Ineedtotalkaboutmynewprogramwithhimbeforeheleaves.It’surgent.SowouldthisafternoonbeOK?W:Letmesee...OK.Mr.Stoneisfreethisafternoonafter3:00.M:Well,3:00isabitdifficult.ButIcouldmakeitafter3:30.W:So...shallwesayaquartertofourthisafternooninMr.Stone’soffice?M:That’sgreat.Thanks.M：在他離開(kāi)之前，我需要和他談?wù)勎业男掠?jì)劃。這很緊急。那么今天下午好嗎？W：讓我看看...好的，斯通先生今天下午3：00之后就有空了。M：
