高考英语听力考点分析与对策 作为英语学习基本技能之一的“听力”,在高考中具有不可忽视的地位要求考生听懂人们日常生活交际中所进行的简短对话和独白考生应该能够做到以下几点:(1) 理解主旨要义: 它要求我们对听到的内容有一个整体的把握和全面的领会, 理解说话者究竟在说什么任何一段对话或独白都是围绕一个中心展开的, 有时主旨大意较明显, 有时则需要归纳和概括2) 获取事实性的具体信息: 它要求我们听清、听懂与话题中心相关的具体信息, 准确理解具体细节,如时间、地点、人物、价钱、数量、目的、原因、结果等同时, 还要求我们对所听到的信息进行简单的处理, 比如数字运算、时间排序、比较筛选、同义转换等3) 对所听内容做出简单推断: 它要求我们从对话或独白的话题和语气中来推断出对话双方(或说话人)的职业或身份, 彼此之间(或与他人)的关系, 对话发生的时间、地点或场合等4) 理解说话者的意图、观点或态度: 它要求我们从话语中听出“弦外之音”, 也就是揣摩说话人的意图、观点或态度从最近几年高考试题分析可归纳以下几个考点:考点一: 事实细节类1. 地点场景类考例 1: Where does the conversation most probably take place?A.

在时间类题目中,当对时间进行提问时,也可能不用数字而用表示时间的短语来表示,考生应注意以下几点:a. 根据表示时间的关联词来判断事件发生的时间,如: before, after, when, while, then, until, later, right away, immediately, as soon as possible等b. 掌握年、月、日、星期等时间的表达方法注意一些表示时间的词, 如 quarter, a couple of days, eve, fortnight (two weeks), dawn (daybreak), dusk (time just before it gets quite back) 等同时注意英、美不同的时间表达方式,如:2 :15读作 a quarter past two(英)或 two fifteen(美); 2:30读作half past two (英) two thirty(美)等c. 有时候,文中通过从句或短语表示时间,而不出现具体表示时间的数字或表示时间概念的单词,这种情况也要引起注意例如:“Aren’t you glad the term’s over?”可以判断出时间为“at the end of the term”。

Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things.

对这种类型题, 抓住短文的前两句话往往特别重要, 因为前两句话往往是主题句, 即使不是主题句, 也对理解全文有重要的意义例如: Last Friday,a storm to re through two villages in Fujian Province,14 people were killed. 这句话是一篇新闻的开头,很明显是主题句,介绍了新闻的中心。
