听力短文理解技巧
听力主要考查学生理解和获取信息的能力,考查学生对语言的识别和理解能力。
近年来,人们已经认识到听力在英语学习中的重要性,听力试题分值在各地中考试题中也逐渐加大。
短文理解是中考听力中的重头戏,也是听力中最令我们头痛的题型,既要听那么长的文章,又要阅读试卷上的问题,往往顾此失彼,得分也就少得可怜。
不过在做短文听力时,只要我们掌握一些技巧,实际上也还是能做到得心应手的。
听力中的短文理解题又称“独白”题,主要都是由说话人独自讲述一段话,其内容往往是讲述某一件事,短文提供事件发生的时间、地点、人物和主要情节。
当然,提问的方式很多,常见的疑问词有who, whose, why, when, where, how many/much/long/often等。
这些疑问词包含了听力材料的主体信息,是听的重点,在听的过程中要注意捕捉与其相关的信息。
【常见题型】
1、根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。
2、根据短文内容,完成表格。
3、根据短文内容,选择正确答案。
4、根据短文内容,在空白处填上适当的单词。
【听前准备】
在放录音前,同学们应先稳定一下自己的情绪,集中注意力,做好答题的准备,同时树立必胜的信心。
答题前,先快速浏览各题的三个备选答案,并确定从录音中获取关键的信息是什么,以保证在听的过程中有的放矢。
同学们还可以通过比较每小题的三个备选答案的不同点的方法来加深对每题关键信息的印象。
必要时,可将不同点用笔注出来,使之更加醒目。
【解题步骤】
1、浏览选项并根据内容猜测该材料中可能出现的内容,做到心中有数。
如:
26. Peter Brown is _______.(06年徐州)
A. an old farmer
B. a young farmer
C. an old doctor
Script:
My name is Peter Brown. I live on a farm with my children and my grandchildren. Our farmhouse isn’t large, but it is very nice. We keep some cows in a building, and that building is more modern than our own house. We also have a simple chicken house. We have about twenty hens and ducks, so we a ways hart enough eggs for tile family. And we have large fields over there. We grow wheat and corn. I often ride horses across the hills behind the farm. We like to farm. Farming is a healthy life.
通过比较这三个选项,我们可以得出本题是考查Peter Brown的职业,了解了这一点之后,在听的过程中,注意捕捉这方面的信息即可。
2、在听短文时,要注意听短文的首句,听清它的主语、谓语、宾语或状语,因为首句往往是文章的主旨句,听懂首句有助于推断全文的大概意思。
当然,文章的主旨句有时也可能出现文章的末尾。
One day Zhang Liang was talking a walk when he saw an old man sitting on a bridge. The old man saw Zhang Liang coming. He threw one of his shoes into the water and said, “Young man, get my shoe up.”…(06年济南市)听了以上材料后,我们不难发现第一句便是文章的主旨句,文章接下来的内容都是围绕Zhang Liang与an old man展开的。
3、注意不同题材短文的特点有助于理清文章的主要脉络,从客观上确定应注意的范围。
一般情况下,听完前两、三句就能确定该短文属于哪一类。
对于对话、故事一类的材料,应注
意其中的时间、地点、人物、主要情节和结局。
对议论文一类的材料则应着重弄清其主题思想、所述问题之现状、因果关系、说话人的观点、所述问题的解决方法或发展趋势等。
对新闻报道一类的材料,只要了解事件的事件、地点及主要过程。

听了之后,我们能一下子就判断出这是一份通知,同学们在答题时只要抓住什么时候干什么事,在哪里做这些事情即可。
题目中依次问的是什么时候去参观花展?下午干什么?在哪里会面?怎样去?抓住了这四根线后,同学们就不难找出它们的正确答案了。
4、在收听录音的同时做一些简单的笔记,把一些你认为是关键的信息及时记下来,这样还能防止你因为紧张而忘掉你没听明白的地方。
尤其是在涉及比较不同人物的年龄、身高、岁数(出生年月)、兴趣爱好、乘坐方式等时,同学们在听的时候就应在不同人物下面简单地做写标记,这样比较起来一目了然,同时答对率也非常高。

A. Lucy
B. Lily
C. Kate
Script:
…I am 1.65 metres tall, and my twin sister Lily is 1.56 metres tall. But my classmate Kate is 1.66 metres t all…
在听了短文之后,同学们应分别在Lucy,Lily,Kate旁边写上1.65m, 1.56m, 1.66m,这样一看便知本题应选C。
