短对话答案解析(孙祥喆)
【总评】:8 个短对话总体来说比以往四级听力要难,但是考察水平令人叹服。题目的设置一改往年的模式化语境,更加委婉、微妙,贴近真实生活中的语境,选项并不是对原文的简单重现而是替换与推理。
1. 考点:推理判断
答案:A. The woman should go on playing chess.
本题的关键在于听懂反问语气。女士说因为又输了棋,所以打算放弃。男士没有正面回应,而是反问了一句:“Is that any reason to quit? 这能算一个放弃的理由吗?”言下之意就是不该放弃。换句话说,男士就是建议女士继续好好继续下棋。
2. 考点:细节捕捉。
答案:D. Mary probably knows Sally’s newaddress.
本题的关键在于听到最后一句“Mary should know it. ”男士说自己手边有一堆Sally的信件需要寄给她,所以需要知道她的地址。女士说自己很久没跟Sally联系了,但是结尾说了一句:“Mary应该知道地址。”如果没有听出结尾一句的反转含义,本题很容易错选。
3. 考点:推理判断
答案:B. His notes are not easy to read.
本题的关键在于听懂反义疑问句。女士想要借笔记,男士说:“You’venever see my handwriting, have you?”“你从没看过我的笔迹吧?”言下之意,就是自己的笔记难以辨认。
4. 考点:推理判断
答案:D. The man had better choose anotherrestaurant.
本题的关键在于听懂否定语气。男士说我今晚要带女朋友去新开的漂亮饭店过生日。女士说我上周去过,太让我失望了。从“rather disappointing” 可以听出女士的强烈否定语气,言下之意就是建议男士不要去这家饭馆了。
5. 考点:推理判断
答案:C. He has been looking forward tospring.
本题在于听懂期待语气。本题首先听到女士开头说的:“冬天终于结束了。”和男士结尾说:“我等了好几个月了啊。”有所期待才会愿意等待,显然是男士希望冬天快点结束,春天快点到来。
6. 考点:细节捕捉
答案:B. The man appreciates the woman’s help.
本题关键在于听懂感谢语气。男士说:“Many thanks forletting me use them.”(太感谢你让我看他们了。)thankMany thanks和选项中的appreciate为同义词。
7. 考点:细节捕捉
答案:B. Go to work on foot.
本题的关键在于捕捉否定词之后被突出的信息。男士提到的“walk towork”和选项中的Goon foot. 为同义表达。
8. 细节捕捉
答案:A. Temporary closing has disturbed the airport’soperation.
本题考察的是一组明显的因果关系,即什么导致了延误。男士提到今早机场关闭了一段时间了,而且仍然没恢复正常。“closedfor a while”与选项中的Temporaryclosing构成同义替换。
点评:今年听力长对话的选材还是来自于我们熟悉的工作场景的解决问题和个人访谈;长对话的逻辑非常清晰,采取问答形式,一人主导提问,一人主导回答。如果能够把握好问题是考题,回答是答案这一基本原则,长对话答题应该是不难的。而且选项和原文一遍是原文重现,即听到什么选什么即可。

短文听力
点评:短文是听力选择题部分最难的;话题难,词汇难,要听懂就更难。但是如果学会给短文文类之后有重点的去听录音,重点就会更突出,答案就更容易捕捉。如最后一篇短文是人物故事类,故事的主人翁叫:GeraldRatner,讲了发生在他身上的故事。既然是故事就应该学会把握时间脉络。我相信各位同学见了老师的分析之后应该非常明显的看到了原文中的答案一般都紧跟在时间词之后。故事类的文章喜欢出推断题,推断故事想传递的道理是什么,而这个道理其实一般出现在首句——主旨,就是主旨的改写而已。
Passage One
What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that manypeople have thought about. All kinds of myths surround the lives ofwell-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, oneof the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17thcenturies. Yethow many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind theworks? ——第16题答案(极端表达most预示答案,转折关系yet引导答案)Aftercenturies of research, scholars are still trying to discoverShakespeare’s personal history.
It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of thetime could not protect their works. An acting company, for example,could change the play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers havecopy rights to protect their work. Many myths arouse aboutShakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believethat he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men. Allof these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probablynot.
Shakespeare’s father was a respective man in Stratford-upon-Avon, aman of the town council. ——第17题答案(新出现的信息为重点)Hesent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethantimes did not continue beyond grammar school. So Shakespeare didhave at least average education. Some paths of Shakespeare’s lifewere always remain unknown.

复合式听写(周祖骏)
点评:复合式听写看似难,很多同学的软肋就是不会拼写单词。但实际上复合式听写的单词却是有规律的,譬如:opposite这个单词实际上曾今出现在2013年12月听力真题10题的A选项中,而2014年6月的复合式听写也考过这个单词。今年的词汇难度也并不大,如decade、account、opposite这些单词都曾出现在老师给大家的复习资料中。在发音上比较难识别的一个单词是sustain,很多同学可能会听成sixteen。但是数词不是我们复合式听写的考察范畴。所以考听力最重要的还是要对单词的发音熟悉,自己在复习时就应该争取吧
Looking at the basic biological systems, the world is not doingvery well. Yet, economic indicators show the world is prospering. Despite a slow start at thebeginning of the 80s, global economic output increased by more thana fifth during the decade. Theeconomy grew, trade increased, and millions of new jobs werecreated. How can biological indicators show the opposite of economic indicators? The answeris that the economic indicators have a basic fault. They show nodifference between resource uses that sustain progress and those uses that willhurt it. The main measure of economic progress is the GrossNational Products -- GNP. In simpleterms, this totals the value of all goods and services producedand subtracts loss in value of factories and equipment. Developed ahalf century ago, GNP helped establish a common way among countries ofmeasuring change in economic output. For some time, this seemed towork reasonably well, but seriousweaknesses are now appearing. As indicated earlier, GNP includesloss in value of factories and equipment, but it does not take into account the loss of naturalresources, including non-renewable resources, such as oil, orrenewable resources, such as forests. This basic fault can producea misleading sense of national

46、通过关键词collectingsignatures和opposition定位到F段的首句内容“opposingautomated assessment software”和最后一句“hascollected nearly 2000 signatures”.本题选F。
47、通过关键词saveteachers time for other work定位到B段最后一句内容“freeingprofessors for other tasks”.这句话尤其需要注意题干中teachers和work在文中的改写分别是professors和tasks本题选B。
48、通过关键词Hewlett和题干主要意思“目的是改进论文评分软件”定位到M段内容“aimedat improving software that grades essays and shortanswers”.本题 选M。
49、通过关键词multiple-choicetests和criticizedby many educators定位,但文中multiple-choicestests的重现不止一处,所以需要结合这道题的逻辑关系词although和still,定位到C段二句内容“althoughautomated grading systems for multiple-choice…and has manycritics”.本题选C。
