一、大学英语教学大纲对大学英语听力能力的一般要求
2007年修订后的《大学英语课程教学要求》把大学阶段的英语教学要求分为三个层次，即一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。这是我国高等学校非英语专业本科生经过大学阶段的英语学习与实践应当选择达到的标准。一般要求是高等学校非英语专业本科毕业生应达到的基本要求。较高要求或更高要求是为有条件的学校根据自己的办学定位、类型和人才培养目标所选择的标准而推荐的。各高等学校应根据本校实际情况确定教学目标，并创造条件，使那些英语起点水平较高、学有余力的学生能够达到较高要求或更高要求。
三个层次对学生英语听力能力要求如下。
一般要求：
能听懂英语授课，能听懂日常英语谈话和一般性题材的讲座，能听懂语速较慢（每分钟130~150词）的英语广播和电视节目，能掌握其中心大意，抓住要点。能运用基本的听力技巧。
掌握的词汇量应达到约4795个单词和700个词组（含中学应掌握的词汇），其中约2000个单词为积极词汇，即要求学生能够在认知的基础上在口头和书面表达两个方面熟练运用的词汇。
较高要求：
能听懂英语谈话和讲座，能基本听懂题材熟悉、篇幅较长的英语广播和电视节目，语速为每分钟150~180词，能掌握其中心大意，抓住要点和相关细节。能基本听懂用英语讲授的专业课程。
掌握的词汇量应达到约6395个单词和1200个词组（包括中学和一般要求应该掌握的词汇），其中约2200个单词（包括一般要求应该掌握的积极词汇）为积极词汇。
更高要求：
听力理解能力：能基本听懂英语国家的广播电视节目，掌握其中心大意，抓住要点。能听懂英语国家人士正常语速的谈话。能听懂用英语讲授的专业课程和英语讲座。

It’ s difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling， where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parents. （26） and court decisions have made it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home， and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity. Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards， and many require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receiving （27） in state—approved curricula.
Supports of home education claim that it’ s less expensive and far more （28） than mass public education. Moreover， they cite several advantages： alleviation of school overcrowding， strengthened family relationships， lower （29） rates， the fact that students are allowed to learn at their own rate， increased （30） ， higher standardized test scores， and reduced （31） problems.
Critics of the home schooling movement （32） that it creates as many problems as it solves. They acknowledge that， in a few cases， home schooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools， but few parents can provide such educational advantages. Some parents who withdraw their children from the schools （33） homeschooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children. Typically， parents have fewer technological resources （34） than do schools. However， the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way （35） more highly structured classroom education.

2013年12月大学英语六级听力部分文字稿
Part II Listening Comprehension （30 minutes）
Section A
1. W： What a wonderful performance！ Your rock band has never sounded better.
M： Many thanks. I guess all those hours of practice in the past month are finally paying off.
Q： What does the man mean？
2. M： I can’ t decide what to do for my summer vacation. I either want to go on a bike tour of Europe or go diving in Mexico.
W： Well， we’ re offering an all—inclusive two—week trip to Mexico for only 300 dollars.
Q： What does the woman suggest the man do for his vacation？
3. W： How long do you think this project might take？
M： I’ d say about three months， but it could take longer if something unexpected happened. Maybe we’ d better allow an extra month， so we won’ t have to worry about being late.
Q： Why does the man say extra time should be allowed for the project？
4. M： I’ m thinking about becoming a member here， and I’ d like some information.
W： Sure. A three—month membership costs 150 dollars， and that includes use of the wait—room， sauna and pool. I’ ll give you a free path so that you can try out the facilities before you decide.
Q： What do we learn from the conversation？
5. W： I’ m sorry to hear that you failed the Physics course， Ted.
M： Let’ s face it. I’ m just not cut out to be a scientist.
Q： What does the man mean？
6. M： Gary insisted on buying the food for the picnic.
W： That’ s pretty generous of him. But shouldn’ t we at least offer to share the expenses？ He has a big family to support.
Q： What does the woman suggest they do？
7. W： Did you see the headlines in the paper this morning？
M： Yea. Apparently the bus company will be laying off its employees if they can’ t reach an agreement on wages by midnight.
Q： What did the man read about？
8. W： Have we received payment for the overseas order we delivered last month？
M： Yes. The check came in yesterday afternoon. I’ ll be depositing it when I go the bank today.
Q： What is the woman concerned about？
Now you will hear the two long conversations.
Conversations One：
W： OK， that’ s it. Now we have to make a decision. We might as well do that now， don’ t you think？
M： Sure， let’ s see. First we saw Frank Brisenski. What did you think of him？
W： Well， he’ s certainly a very polite young man.
M： And very relaxed， too.
W： But his appearance……
M： En……He wasn’ t well dressed. He wasn’ t even wearing a tie.
W： But he did have a nice voice. He sounded good on the telephone.
M： True. And I thought he seemed very intelligent. He answered Dona’ s questions very well.
W： That’ s true， but dressing well is important. Well， let’ s think about the others. Now what about Barber Jones？ She had a nice voice， too. She sounded good on the telephone， and she was well dressed， too.
M： En…… She did look very neat， very nicely dressed， but……
W： But so shy. She wouldn’ t be very good at talking to people at the front desk.
M： En……OK. Now who was the next？ Ar……Yes， David Wallace. I thought he was very good， had a lot of potential. What do you think？
W： En…… He seemed like a very bright guy. He dressed very nicely， too. And he had a really nice appearance.
M： He seemed relaxed to me， the type of person people feel comfortable with right away.
W： He was polite， but also very friendly and relaxed as you say. I think he’ ll be good with the guests at the front desk.
M： He had a very pleasant voice， too.
W： That’ s right. OK， good！ I guess we have our receptionist then， don’ t you？
M： Yes， I think so. We’ ll just offer the job to……
Question 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
9： What are the speakers looking for？
10： What is Frank Brisenski’ s weakness？
11： What do the speakers decide to do？
Conversations Two：
W： Hello.
M： Hello. Is that the reference library？
W： Yes， can I help you？
M： I hope so. I ran earlier and asked for some information about Dennis Hutton， the scientist. You asked me to ring back.
W： Oh， yes. I have found something.
M： Good. I’ ve got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.
W： Certainly. Hutton Dennis， born Darlington， 1836， died New York， 1920.
M： Yes， got that.
W： Inventor and physicist， the son of a farm worker. He was admitted to the University of London at the age of 15.
M： Yes.
W： He graduated at 17 with the first class degree in physics and mathematics. All right？
M： Yes， all right.
W： He made his first notable achievement at the age of 18. It was a method of refrigeration which rolls from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of mathematics at the University of Manchester at 24， where he remained for twelve years. During that time， he married one of his students， Natasha Willoughby.
M： Yes， go on.
W： Later working together in London， they laid the foundations of modern physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1910， and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime， Hutton patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more？
M： Yes， when did he go to America？
W： Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still he was a good age.
M： Yes， I suppose so. Well， thanks.
Question 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12： What do we learn about Dennis Hutton when he was 15？
13： What did Dennis Hutton do at the age of 24？
14： For what were Dennis Hutton and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time？
15： Why did Dennis Hutton go to New York？
Section B
Passage One
In America， white tailed deer are more numerous than ever before， so abundant in fact that they’ ve become a suburban nuisance and a health hazard.
Why can’ t the herd be thinned the old—fashioned way？ The small community of North Haven on Long Island is home to some six hundred to seven hundred deer. The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimum population at 60. The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens and shrubs are protected by high fences.
Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of the road that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of the bodies. Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases. On the occasions when hunting has been tried， local animal rights people have worked to secure court orders against the hunts. And when that is failed， they stop the hunters， banging on pots and pans to alert the deer. Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved into confrontations.
The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem. Some communities have even discussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix. That means wolves in the suburbs of New York. It is almost too wonderful not to try it. The wolves would kill deer of course. They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburban dwellers have in mind.
Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What do we learn about white—tailed deer in North Haven？
17. Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans？
18. What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix？
Passage Two
And now， if you’ ll walk this way， ladies and gentlemen， the next room we’ re going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty. However， they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate. And I think you’ ll agree. It has a very informal atmosphere， quite unlike some grand houses you visit. The curtains were never drawn， even at night， so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside which were lit up at night — a very attractive sight. As you can see， ladies and gentlemen， the guests were seated very informally around this oval table， which would add to the relaxed atmosphere. The table dates from the 18th century and is made from Spanish oak. It’ s rather remarkable for the fact that although it’ s extremely big， it’ s supported by just six rather slim legs. However， it seems to have survived like that for 200 years. So it’ s probably going to last a bit longer. The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set. There were originally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time， with only one plain central panel at the back and no armrests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long， but people were used to more discomfort in the past. And now， ladies and gentlemen， if you’ d like to follow me into the great hall……
Question 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. What do we learn about the speaker？
20. What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting？
21. What is said about the oval table in the room？
22. What does the speaker say about the chairs？
Passage Three
Janet James was 22 years old when she was diagnosed with MS—a disease that attacks the body’ s nerves. She has just graduated from college and got a job at an advertising agency when she began to sense that something strange was going on inside her body. When James realized how severe her illness was， she knew she had better hurry up and live life. MS is the biggest crippler of young adults. And although she didn’ t have many symptoms， she knew it was just a matter of time. First on her agenda was to pursue her dream of hosting a pop music program. She worked at a radio station for a year， always aware that her body was degenerating. Then her best friend moved away. And one night James began screaming， “I got to go！ I got to go！” Two weeks later， she arrived at Alaska， thousands of miles from her friends， her family and her past. “Everything fell into a place” ， she recalls. A 23—year—old girl with an incurable disease can fly to Alaska and everything can work out. The MS attacks came and went. And most of the time they hardly slowed her down. James hiked， fished， learnt to sail and experimented with hot air ballooning. “I lived for adventure” ， she says. “Nobody ever had a better time or did more exotic strange things than I did in an 80—year period.” Inevitably however， the day came when she was so weakened that she had to return to Pittsburgh， her home town. There she began relieving her adventures by writing a book about them. Her book was published in 1993.
Question 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. What does the speaker say about MS？
24. What did Janet James decide to do after her disease was diagnosed？
25. What sort of person can we infer Janet James is？
四、六级听力题型与技巧点拨
听力部分包括短对话，长对话，短文理解和短文听写四个部分。听力测试的分值占总分值的35%，录音播放时间为30分钟左右。如何在半小时左右的时间里，有效地对听力短对话精细理解，对长对话和短文的信息进行提取. 以及短文听写中对单词的瞬间把握，都是需要考生在平时的训练中区分对待的。熟悉各个部分的题型及掌握一定的听力技巧对提高听力水平将会有很大帮助。
（一） 对话
1. 题型介绍：
听力对话包括短对话和长对话两个部分，主要涉及人们日常生活中的话题，对话中的句子结构、成分、主题一般都非常简单。短对话共8组，每组为一轮对话和一个问题，问题一般都是特殊疑问句；长对话有2组，每组为7—8轮对话，后面有3—4个问题。对话部分共15题。每段对话均朗读一遍，语速基本稳定在每分钟150 — 160个单词，每个问题后留有13—15秒的答题时间，要求考生从所给的四个选项中选出—个最佳答案。
2. 答题技巧
1） “看” ，有效利用播放考试说明的时间浏览一下题目的四个选项，画出关键词，这是做好听力题目的必要前提。考生通过分析四个选项，猜问题，对涉及的话题有个大体的了解，听时会有侧重地去听，由此使自己处于主动地位。
2） “听” ，眼耳兼顾，听音与读题两不误，把握关键词和关键句。短对话可以通过某个或某些词或短语判断出答案，只要能捕捉到对话中与该话题相关的关键词，往往就可以判断出对话谈论的内容。而长对话是围绕一个中心展开话题的，因此抓住中心很重要。尤其注意表示因果关系、转折关系、对比或对照等方面的词或短语。其次要注意听关键句，判断相关场景，在固定的场景中，其词汇和表达也相对比较固定，所以同学们应在平时注意多积累一些场景中的高频词汇和习惯表达，以提高听力理解能力。另外，提示性的信息也可以是语音语调。
3） “记” ， 在听力应试过程中，作些简短的记录，对答题会有所帮助。所记的重点应放在对话中出现的数字、时间、地点、人名上，这些关键信息经常是考题的考点所在。遇到内容较复杂的谈话时，记在不同选项旁的关键词可以帮助我们很快找到正确答案。
4） “选” ，根据以上的 “看” 、 “听” 、 “记” 所获得的信息，快速做出选择。相信听后的第一印象，运用常识，做出合理推断，听清问题，避免 “答非所问” 。
（二）短文理解
1. 题型介绍：短文理解部分通常由3篇文章组成，每篇大约240—260个单词，语速约为每分钟150—190词左右，每篇后面有3—4个题目，共10道题，所占分值为10%，每个问题后有13秒的答题时间。短文内容和问题只读一遍。 短文题材多样：天文、地理、科幻、科学、文化、教育、风俗、历史、人物、日常生活。体裁：记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文。
2. 技巧：
1）浏览选项。利用读题目指令或两道题目之间的短暂间隙，考生可以根据选项提供的信息推断短文体裁和大致内容，这样在听的过程中，就能更有针对性，从而提高听力的有效性。
2）抓主题句和信息词。抓住一篇文章的主题句，就容易掌握文章的中心思想。要特别注意听清开头和结尾的一两句话，因为开头句与结尾句常常是主题句所在，概括和归纳了全文的中心。即便不是主题句，也会包含很多信息，理解这些信息有利于考生把握整篇文章。另外一些连接短文各个句子、表明上下逻辑关系的词，对短文内容如何发展，起到信号指示作用，抓住这些信号，对于下文会讲什么内容、能解答什么问题就会心中有数。
3）记录事实。听力材料中出现的时间、数字、地点等信息以及表示原因和转折关系的词汇和句子经常是标志性的出题点所在。在听音过程中，要有目的地去抓听、记录与题目有关的事实，例如时间、地点、人物等。
（三）短文听写
1. 题型介绍
短文听写更强调语言的综合应用能力，不仅要求考生要有很好的语音辨析能力，还要求具备拼写能力、速记能力等。短文听写采用1篇短文，六级的长度为240—270词，要求考生在听懂短文的基础上用所听到的原文填写空缺的单词或词组，共10题，短文播放三遍，属于新题型。题材可以为叙述性、描写性，或说明性，难度适中。
2. 技巧
l） 预读须先行。因为文章具有一致性和连贯性的特点，听音前对文字材料的快速浏览对完成听写内容是大有裨益的。尤其要关注所给材料的首尾部分以及空格前后的部分，推测空格要求填写单词的词性、单复数以及时态语态及可能的词义。
2） 听第一遍录音，第一遍录音播放时，尽量对短文形成一个整体印象。听为主，记为辅，单词可采用缩写或只记录开头字母的方式。听第二遍录音，快速记录所缺单词，尽量将其填写完整。听第三遍录音，补全未填部分，核对已填内容。
3）自我检查。考生在写完之后应该根据自己所掌握的语法知识自我检查一下，检查内容大致包括：单复数是否一致、上下文时态是否相配、大小写是否恰当、词尾的变形正确与否、介词搭配或词语用法是否合乎规范、前后语义内容是否通顺等。
听力的提高不仅与学生的听力水平有直接的关系，还从一定的程度上反映了学生的综合语言水平。以上介绍的听力技巧是要建立在平时听力训练的基础之上。同学们也应多了解一些有关东西方文化、风土人情方面的知识，这些都对提高英语听力能力有很大帮助。
同学们，准备好！让我们开始提高听力之旅吧。
