(2)两组长对话是个新生事物，对学生短时记忆和快速提取信息的能力提出了更为严峻的挑战。长对话分值为7%，难度上增加不大，但是话轮的频繁更替使部分考生不太适应。建议大家训练时要抓紧时间审题、读选项、做笔记，否则考试中很难适应。从出题类型分析，长对话的问题主要集中在：原因追问(在英语中表达原因的句型非常普遍，但是比较实用而考试又常见的有介词thanks to\\due to\\because of\\owing to、连词 as\\since\\because\\for、介词短语on the ground that\\for fear that\\seeing that等)、建议句型(how about\\what about\\ what will you say?)、反问句式(why not? Why don’t…? isn't it…? )、语意转折 (however\\although\\nevertheless), 固定表达(It’s not my cup of tea, I have little to do with, it’s beyond my knowledge, it’s up to you etc)。

原文：

W: Oh, Jackie, I’ve had such a terrible day.

M: You look exhausted. What on earth have you been doing?

W: Oh, I’ve been such a fool! You just wouldn’t believe what I’ve done. M: I would, 1 would. Come on… Where’s you been?

W: I’m dying to tell some. I've been down to London, you see. OK, I thought I’d be very sensible, so I’d drive down to the Underground on the outskirts of London, leave the car and go in by tube. All right? Very sensible. Yes? Ok. So I drove down to London and I parked my car by the tube station and I got the tube into London. Fine! All right? M: Well, sounds like it.

W: So far, so good. Right. I came back out of London and got out of the tube. M: And you forgot the car?

W: No, no, I didn’t forget the car. I couldn’t find the car, Jackie. It’d gone. M: You’re kidding.

W: No, no, really, it’d gone. I walked out happily out of the tube, you know, over to where it was and I looked and it was a red Mini and mine’s green, so I thought “Oh no”. So having panicked a bit, I rang the police, you see, and this lovely, new little policeman, a young one came out to help. That’s it, yes... buttons shining... big smile... came down to help, so I said, “I’ve lost my car. It’s been stolen.” And I took him to see it and everything and… M: You mean where it wasn’t.

W: And sure enough, it wasn’t there. And then he coughed a bit and he went very quiet... and he took me back into the tube station and out the other side into the other car park... and there was my car, Jackie, parked in the other tube station car park, the other side of the station, because there are two exits, you see, so I walked out of an exit not knowing there were two and it was in the other one.

M: Oh. Lesley. And was he ever so cross?

W: He was livid, Jackie. He went on and on at me and I didn’t know said “Sorry” all the time. M: Jumped in your car and left.

W: Oh, it was awful. I’ m never doing that again ever.

真题分析 08年6月 Conversation Two

M: Ms. Jones, could you tell me more about your fist job with hotel marketing concepts? No. 23 W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant, responsible for marketing ten UK hotels. No.23 They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector. All of a very high standard M: which market were you responsible for? W: For Europe and Japan.

M: I see from your resume （工作场景重要词汇）that you speak Japanese, have you ever been to Japan?本句话起到转换话题，引出下一个内容层次的作用。同时，也提示女生介绍其在日本工作的经历，并在答句中提到“因为会日语，所以是一大优势”，相当于引导出了第24题的答案。

W: Yes, I have. I spent a month In Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.No.24 请考生注意本句中的advantage这一词汇，说话人在真题录音中用了非常明显的美音来朗读。

M: Yes, of course. Have you has any contact with Japan in your present job.

W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. The truth is I’ve become very popular with the Japanese both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.

M: Really? I am interested to hear more about that, but first tell me have you ever traveled on a luxury train, the orient express for example?

W: No, I haven’t. But I have traveled in the glacier express to Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I am very interested in this job No.25 这句话向我们揭示了女生从事这份新工作的原因，是她“喜爱乘火车旅行”。可见录音中，说话人先用转折词BUT引起听者注意，然后解释具体原因，最后用一个that’s why句型作总结和强调。

Questions 23-25 are based on the long conversation you’ve just heard. 23 What did the woman do in her first job?

24 What gives the woman an advantage during her business trip in Japan? 25Why is the woman applying for the new job? （工作场景重要词汇）

长对话是四级听力考试的新题型，凡新题型必定蕴涵一定新的考察方向。四级听力以往更多考察和学校学习有关的内容，但近年增多了与工作有关的场景内容的考察。如2006年6月24日的四级长对话第二篇有关一位股票经济人参加面试，而本题又是有关职业经历的访谈。因此，考试应注意与职业场景有关的重点词汇，比如在本文中重点标示的resume（简历），apply for a job（找工作，求职等），才能做到充分理解对话含义。另外，由本题可看出，长对话答案在分布上呈现明显的“顺序原则”，即题目顺序与答案出现顺序一一对应，三道题中，第一题答案在开头出现，第二题在中间位置出现，第三题在最后一句话中出现答案。

(3)短文听力一般由三个自然段构成，体裁涉及范围变化不大，而且重复率较高。基本上以议论文、说明文和记叙文三大体裁为听力素材的基本内容。听力理解的短文每段一般有三到四个问题，问题往往涉及议论文的论点、分论点、典型论据以及结论和作者态度方面等；而说明文则就所说明的对象、它的典型特征、主要步骤和关键细节等提问；记叙文则以考察事情的起因、经过和结果等要素为提问的核心内容。短文听力理解和短文阅读理解的不同之处就在于口头信息转瞬消失，所以考生必须(a)充分利用问题后面的选项提示，大胆预测短文的内容。(b)抓主题句。（c） 及时做好听力笔记，摘要记录关键信息。(d)抓住问题的含义，进行正确推导。(e) 根据常识做适当分析与判断 (f)利用题目之间的选项关系进行适度地类推和印证，从而得出正确答案。短文听力对考生的语言感知能力、逻辑思维能力、短时记忆能力都是一个挑战。考生只有在多读、多听的基础上才能提高短文理解的准确率。 真题分析： 第26题问的是：What is the speaker complaining about? 下面结合录音原文，了解解题思路： Time! No.26 PASSAGE听力录音的内容有个特色，就是往往在开头就会点出说话人要讲述的整个语段的核心要旨，而且往往与具体题目的答案有关，所以，考生要特别注意把握首句。 I think a lot about time. And not just because it’s the name of the news organization I work for. Like most working people, I find time or the lack of it a never ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. My everyday is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win No.26. 根据本句可推断，说话人主要抱怨时间不够用，所以A正确。根据历年PASSAGE真题答案体现出的规律，如果一个选项含有原文重复提到的关键词，更有可能是正确答案。这是做PASSAGE这类篇幅长，信息容量大，题目定位难的文章的经典方法。第26题的正
