2014年湖南卷高考英语听力真题分析一、总体特点2014年湖南卷高考英语听力部分，总体字数略有增加、难度系数加大、材料话题更加贴近日常生活、情节丰富曲折；语言依旧延续往年的风格，句子简短，更口语化，重视实际运用；独白别具一格，采用语音留言的形式，既实用又新颖。
主播为美音，主播语速比去年稍快，平均语速约在140WPM左右。
选择题难度为近年最大，主要考察事实细节，错误选项干扰性强，设问方式和设问角度别出心裁，综合推断题目数量增加；信息题难度大幅降低，材料长度较之以前偏短，主要考察名词和动词，没有词形和词义的复杂转化。
二、具体分析1. 整套试卷材料风格平实，话题贴近日常生活。
1）就材料的话题来说，2014年没有出奇的新话题，所有内容依旧与学生所熟悉的学校生活和家庭生活相关：Section AConversation 1: 天气炎热，安排活动消夏，约定时间；Conversation 2: 工作间隙的下午茶时间，谈论男士的邻居，其狗狂吠干扰休息；Conversation 3: 导游安排午餐及大巴车接送时间，游客咨询礼品店；Conversation 4: 邀请朋友来参加生日聚会及其相关事宜，礼物、时间等等；Conversation 5: 工作面试，提到工作经验，工作地点的选择，开始时间；Conversation 6: 房客给房东打电话，要求修炉子，时间，修理人员；纵观近5年的话题材料，讨论派对或假期计划、安排地点和时间以及迟到早退原因，参加面试的着装、工作性质、工作地点、薪酬，日常饮食、运动健康、道路方位、交通方式，租房、房屋状况、邻里、租赁关系、居住维修等等是常考内容。
Section B独白突破通知、演讲、说明等体裁，以语音留言的形式安排待办事宜，与学生所熟悉、大众用户广的微信、QQ语音留言等如出一辙，而且材料内容没有生单词和长难句，易于学生理解和答题。
2）材料长度与去年、前年对比总字数为802，为近5年之最。
其中A部分字数为669，B部分字数为133。
材料整体字数较去年总字数增加83个单词，与前年基本一致，但B部分独白字数较前两年有所减少。
意外的是，conversation 6的字数接近180字。
字数增加带来的大量信息，增加了捕捉细节以及总体把控的难度。
2. 选择题题目灵活性增大，难度有所上升。
选择题以事实细节题目为主，但是难度较去年上了一个层次，大约为6-8个难题。
具体体现在以下几个方面：A.选项干扰性增强干扰选项来自材料一直是湖南卷的特点，今年尤为明显。
对话材料简短精炼，信息点充足，干扰选项在材料里都有出现，而且干扰信息密度高；Example 1conversation 4M: Hell o, Brian speaking…W: Hi, Brian. It’s Mary here. Hope I haven’t caught you at a bad time.M: No, no. I was just watching TV.W: Oh, good. Have you had a good weekend?M: Yeah, it’s been good. I went to the cinema with some friends yesterday. What about yo u?W: Not too bad. Hey, actually, I’m calling because it’s my birthday this Saturday. I was wondering if you would come.M: That sounds good. What time?W: Is seven o’clock OK? David won’t finish work until 6:30.M: Oh, sorry. I’m afraid I can’t make it. Is 7:30 all right?W: Sure. 7:30, then.M: Do you want me to bring something, like a cake or some drinks?W: Oh, no. I’ll get the food and everything. Just come and help me celebrate!M: Well, in that case, I’ll invite you to the piano concert next Friday.W: That would be great. Thanks!M: OK. I’ll get the tickets now.8. What time will the speakers probably meet this Saturday evening?A. At 6:30.B. At 7:00.C. At 7:30.9. Which of the following will the man buy?A. Some drinks.B. A birthday cake.C. Concert tickets.这两道题选项的设置具有很强的干扰性，干扰项均来自于材料。
B．部分设问方式和设问角度新颖Example 1Conversation 614. Who will handle the problem first tomorrow evening?A. The woman.B. The man.C. A worker.用序数词考察材料中出现的顺序安排，符合日常逻辑，题干设计角度很新颖。
C．出现综合推断题较之以往，今年出现3道综合判断题。
5.What is the woman?对女方的身份进行推断。
10.What is the woman doing now? 对整个对话场景进行推断。
15. Who is the woman speaking to?则是对说话者关系的推断。
Example 1W: Ladies and gentlemen! Right now, it’s twelve o’clock, and we’re going to stop at this restaurant for lunch. The bus driver will pick you up in an hour.M: Where will he meet us?W: Right here, in front of the restaurant. And be sure to be on time.M: But I want to buy some gifts before we leave. Do you know any good place around here?5. What is the woman?A. A bus driver.B. A waitress.C. A tour guide.Example 2W: Do you have any job experience?M: Only a little. I helped out at my father’s office last year, and I worked in a recording studio last month.W: That’s good. Can you work every day?M: Yes, I can work any day of the week. Oh, no… except Thursday. I work at a nursing home in the neighborhood that day.W: When would you be able to start?M: Next Monday.W: OK, that’s great. We have two stores: a very busy one downtown, and one near the ai rport with almost no customers, even on weekends.M: I want to work near the airport.W: Good. Everyone else hates it. There are few customers, so you’ll most likely be doing jobs such as carrying big boxes and cleaning.M: Oh, no…uh, wait…uh, I like the store downtown.W: OK, that’s settled. See you next Monday.10. What is the woman doing now?A. She is serving a customer.B. She is conducting an interview.C. She is doing some recording.尽管都是材料的第一题，但需要整段材料听完之后，才能作出综合判断。
D. 此次试卷的难度还表现在有的正确选项是对原文信息进行了同义转述。
Example 1Conversation 2M: Hi, Jane. I’m going out for a coffee break. Will you join me?W: Sure. Oh, Peter, you look tired. Are you getting sick?M: No. My new neighbor’s dog kept me awake all night. It never stopped barking.W: Oh, dear. You’d better go and talk to your neighbor about it.4. What happened to the man?A. He fell ill.B. He lost his dog.C. He slept badly.答案He slept badly.由原文“My new neighbor’s dog kept me awake all night. It never stopped barking.”转述而来。
Example 2Conversation 4M: Hello, Brian speaking…W: Hi, Brian. It’s Mary here. Hope I haven’t caught you at a bad time.M: No, no. I was just watching TV.W: Oh, good. Have you had a good weekend?M: Yeah, it’s been good.I went to the cinema with some friends yesterday. What about you?…7. What did the man do yesterday?A. He saw a movie.B. He watched TV.C. He visited some friends.正确选项He saw a movie.同样使用了同义转述。
