四级考试听力的一些方法和建议英语四级考试听力要注意7种关键词英语四级考试听力部分的短对话、长对话和短文听力其实考察的都是对听力材料的要点和信息的把握什么是要听懂并且记下来的信息呢，要把握吨化和短文中的七种关键词，KEY WORD，后面一般都是考点，尤其是对话部分，要学会听小词一、转折性词汇：课堂上强调了很多的涵义发生180度转弯的BUT转折题，要学会听BUT，还有yet， however， though， whereas， unfortunately， unexpectedly， instead， rather than， other than， to be frank， frankly speaking， to tell you the truth，etc.二、逻辑类词汇：就是因为所以不但而且这一类的词，表原因的because， because of， for， as， due to， owing to， in that， now that， according to， 表结果的therefor， so， as a result， consequently， eventually， 表递进的apart from， in addition， furthermore， what‘s more， moreover，etc.三、最高级词汇：形容词和副词的最高级永远是最需要关注的，most importantly， the most popular.。
the biggest of.四、事实罗列词汇：在这些词汇后就是关键和重要的事实性息，actually， in fact， as a matter of fact，etc.五、序数词后面，最重要的是the first， firstly and finally.六、情态动词：sb.has got to， can ， could， may， might， need，should， ought to，etc.七、重要形容词：表示重要的词，important， crucial， chief，major，significant， the only， unique， essential， necessary， vital， etc.十大类标志词:据研究有 90%以上的考点都是由标志词引导活提示的，因此在语段听力中听到下列标志词 时要引起高度的重视，集中注意力听清标志词前后的句子1．最高级标志词形容词、副词最高级、most / chief / primary / main / leading /best/worst/least/be up to/maximum/minimum2．唯一级标志词 only / unique / prefer / every / one / of all / perfect /each3．因果项标志词 cause / lead to / contribute to / thanks to / owing to / question / answer / why / reason /therefore/so/due to/as a result of/4．转折/让步项关键词 despite / in spite of / instead / while / from ~ to ~ / although ~ （yet）~ / not only ~ but also ~ / but/however/unlike/on the other hand5．序数项标志词(first , second）/ another / the other / next / last / in addition / on the other hand / what is worse is that/finally6．时间项标志词 when / how / today / as / before / after / since / then / until7．解释项标志词 or / namely / in other words / that is / that is to say8．目的项标志词 to / for / so as to/in order to9．总结项标志词 all in all / in brief / to conclude / at last / in summary / in short / to sum up/in a word10.强调项标志词副词：especially / particularly / almost / always / usually / importantly/significantly动词：show / remember / note / notice / say / pronounce11.观点表达指示词: say/tell/speak/conclude/suggest/infer/imply/indicate/express/study/learn/show/found说明文的特点及解题技巧锦囊妙计1：答非所问。
必有弦外之音 在对话中，如果S1(即Speaker 1“第一个说话者”)说了一般疑问句，S2应该怎样回答呢?S2应该回答Yes或No——最开始学英语的时候，老师就教过我们这一点了然而，在听力对话中，我们经常听到的却是yes／no的变体回答中不仅没有出现yes或no，而且有时候还会用问句来回答问句!这时，出题人往往就会考查对S2的回答的理解一般来说，如果S2对S1的一般疑问句不作直接回答表示S2是一种强烈的否定态度，或者是一种带条件的肯定态度正确答案即可由此选定 【例2】A)She read only part of the book． B)She is interested in reading novels． C)She seldom reads books from cover to cover． D)She was eager to know what the book was about． 【录音】M：Hi，Susan! Have you finished reading the book Professor Johnson recommended? W：Oh，I haven't read it through the way I'd read a novel．I just read a few chapters which interested me． Q：What does the woman mean? ［2007．6／T15］ 【解析】答案为A。
如果听到了S2说的“我只读了我感兴趣的几章”，即可正确作答如果没听清，则可从另一角度来解答本题：S1提出一个简单疑问句“Have you finished reading the book．．．?”，s2没有直接用yes或no回答正确选项往往表示对S1问题的否定回答或带条件的肯定回答，此处S2是有条件的肯定四个选项中与read及the book有关的只有A项．C没有提到 the book的情况锦囊妙计2：运用逻辑直接排除选项 当四个选项之间存在逻辑上的包含关系、排斥关系或者矛盾关系时，可以尝试排除两个(以上)选项，再带着预知结果的期待听录音，往往事半功倍本妙计适合逻辑分析能力比听力能力高的考生 【例6】A) The woman is driving too fast. B) The woman is driving at a low speed. C) The woman has broken a traffic rule. D) The woman has parked her car in a wrong place. 【录音】M: This is a one-way street. Didn't you see the sign? W：sorry．I didn't． Q：What do we learn from the conversation? [1999．6／T9] 【解析】选C选项间存在包孕关系，C包含A和D，可以初步排除A、D。
如果B正确，问题很难提出(因为车开得很慢通常不会引起什么矛盾)，因此在没有听录音之前就可以初步判断选C锦囊妙计3：形态相似的选项预示答案 四个选项中如果只存在一组形似项，答案极可能是其中之一 【例8】A)The mall has never seen the woman before． B)The two speakers work．for the same company． C)The two speakers work on the same floor． D)The woman is interested in market research【分析】B、C两项非常相似，首先主语都是The two speakers，其次谓语都是work形态相似，必留给考生较深刻的印象 【录音】M：Nice weather，isn‘t it? Oh，I’ve seen you around the office，but I don‘t think we’ve met．I am Henry Smith．I work in the Market Research Section． W：Nice to meet you, Henry．I am Helen Grant．I am in the Advertising Section on the ninth floor． Q：What can we infer from the conversation? ［2006．6／T17]【解析】答案为B。
这道题如果光听对话，那么注意力很容易被seen，met吸引过去而受到干扰但若按照形似的原则，听之前圈定的形似项B和C，只要选其一，就有50％的命中率再加上女士说的她在九楼上班，则可排除C“两人在同一楼层上班”，这样正确答案也就手到擒来锦囊妙计4：语义矛盾的选项预示答案 四个选项中如果存在一组意思相反的选项．答案极可能居于其一 【例10】A) Most students would like to work for a newspaper． B) Most students find a job by reading advertisements． C) Most students find it hard to get a job after they graduate． D) Most students don't want jobs advertised in the newspapers． 【分析】B、D两项意思相反，答案很可能是其中之一 【录音】M：How do most students find a job after they graduate? W：They usually look for a job by searching the want-ads in the newspapers. Q：What does the woman mean? ［2005．1／T5］【解析】答案为B。
对于男士所问的“大多数学生毕业后是如何找到工作的”，B和D给出了正好相反的回答根据反义项原则给予B、D两项特别的关注后，结合by searching the want-ads in the newspapers(通过搜寻报纸上的招聘广告)。
