英语四级听力陷阱知多少

短对话(short conversations) 题目序号: 11-18 所占比例:8%

解题技巧：
1.四个选项中如有两选项意思相反或相近，那么这两个选项更可能成为答案
2.原文经常会把正确选项的词用同义词来替换

以上是大部分短对话的惯用解法，但2012年12月出了一道接近六级听力难度的题，解题最关键的位置不是我们常提到的答句部分，而是出在问题上。
例：18. A) Take a break.
B) Refuel his car.
C) Ask the way.
D) Have a cup of coffee.
听力原文：
W: This place doesn't look familiar at all, we must be lost.
M：Yes，it seems so. Let's pull in here, while 'm filling in the tank, you go ask the way and get me something to drink please.
Q: What does the man going to do first?
解析：原文中男士要去给车加油，用filling the tank替换了B选项的refuel，挺难的单词。而之后又让女士去ask the way和get something to drink，和CD选项分别是一模一样和简单替换。最后问男士先做什么，答案应该选择B选项，但通过以上解析不难看出，考生极易选择CD选项。

以下笔者再举出一道08年6月的六级听力真题供大家参考：
13. A.Wash the dishes.
B. Go to the theatre.
C. Pick up George and Martha.
D. Take her daughter to hospital.
听力原文：
M: You are not going to do all those dishes before we leave, are you? If we don't pick up George and Martha in 25 minutes, we'll never get to the theater on time.
W: Oh, didn't I tell you, Martha called to say her daughter was ill and they could not go tonight.
Q: What is the woman probably going to do first?
解析：答案为A
通过一道早年的六级听力题和刚刚考完的四级听力进行比较，相信大家不难看出两点，一是之后再遇到这样没有主语的四个选项，一定要听清楚事情发生的先后顺序和问题再做解答；二是四级考试对考生的要求正悄悄地加大，甚至到达了早年对六级学生的要求。所以广大考生如果觉得四级真题练得不够过瘾，甚至可以用六级听力来挑战一下自己。

长对话（long conversations） 题目序号：19-25 所占比例：7%
&短文听力（short passages） 题目序号：26-35 所占比例：10%

解题技巧：
1，更多单词或短语被读到的选项就是正确选项
2，原文经常会把正确选项的词用同义词来替换
3，第一题经常对应原文第一句或第一回合
4，顺序出题，边听边做，不等问题。

以上是长对话和短文听力的常规解法，但进行了大量练习考生可能会发现，有些题目不止被读到一个选项，在原文听不太懂的情况下就困惑了，接下来笔者就以2012年12月的两道长对话题为例来做分析。
20.A) The effects were very good.
B) The acting was just so-so.
C) The plot was too complicated.
D) The characters were lifelike.
21.A) They triumphed ultimately over evil in the battle.
B) They played the same role in War of the Worlds.
C) They are popular figures among young people.
D) They are two leading characters in the film.
部分听力原文：
M: No, not at all. Oh, （20）the effects were very good.
W: Yes, I thought they were marvelous. Especially the battle in space, incredible.
M: Yes, but I was going to say I thought the acting was terrible.
W: Yes. I suppose Jason was too good to be true. And what was the name of the Baddy?
M: Cargon?
W: Yeah. Cargon was really evil, wasn't he? But I suppose that's what these films are all about-good triumphing over evil. （21）And the characters have to be black and white.
M: Well ,yes, but not always. War of the Worlds wasn't like for example. Anyway, you enjoy the film. That's the most important.
W: Yes, I did. Thanks for taking me.
Q:
19. What does the man say about the science fiction films?
20. What opinion did the speakers share about the film they just seen?
21. What to be learned about Jason and Cargon?
解析：实际听题过程中，20题极易被考生选D选项，因为21题答案句中的characters这个词，而21题又极易被考生选B选项，因为原文中划双下划线的War of the Worlds.
在以上这两个原文相对较难的题型中，对于大多数基础不是很扎实的同学来说，只听一遍是不太可能听懂大意和之后的问题的，所以就要求大家尽可能按照上文讲的方法去练自己迅速反应过来单词被读到的能力。万不得已的情况下，通过以上听力原文大家不难看出，干扰选项大多出现在正确答案之后的位置，所以如果在听到两个选项又不敢确定的情况下，选择先听到的可能更容易做对。
