听力考试简介
Introduction to the Listening Test

剑桥领思听力部分由两类题型构成。值得注意的是,无论是通用测试还是职场测试,听力考试部分的题型是一样的,只是通用测试考查的是日常英语听力能力,而职场测试考查的是商务英语听力能力。需特别注意的是,听力部分的音频可以听两遍。

两类题型

(1)听并选择(Listen and select):考生听一段短音频,然后从三个选项中选出正确答案。

(2)拓展听力(Extended Listening):考生听一段较长音频,然后回答一系列相关选择题。题目顺序和音频中信息顺序一致。

考查技能 Tested Skills

该类题型考查考生以下的技能:

● 理解题目问的是什么。

● 辨别图片间的相同点和不同点。

● 理解短篇对话中的各类信息。

范例分析 Task Analysis

试题 Question 1

What will the weather be like for the tour group tomorrow?

试题分析 Analysis

审题 :题目问的是:“对于旅游团来说,明天的天气将会如何?”

识别图片 :图片1描述了一种晴空万里的天气;图片2描述了一种阴云密布的天气;图片3描述了一个雨天。

听力原文分析 :根据题目要求,该题重点就是要听到“明天的天气如何”,即对话中男人的回答“I think it will be okay. They say it will be cloudy but dry tomorrow.”。也就是说,明天的天气是有云但干燥。然后女人回应说“Oh, great! Too much sun is not a good thing either.”。也为天气的状况是有云且干燥提供了佐证。

选项分析 :选项1是一个大晴天,和原文描述的多云天气不符合,因此排除;选项3是下雨天,和原文描述的干燥不符合,因此排除;选项2是一个多云且不下雨的天,符合原文说的天气,因此是正确答案。

技巧总结 Recap of Tips

(1)在听录音之前,请先阅读题目与三张图片。

● 理解题目的含义,尤其注意题目中的关键词。

● 找到图片之间的相似点和不同点。

● 注意:图片包含了许多日常物品和场景,所以熟悉一些常见的与食物、地方、事件、天气等有关的词汇是有好处的。

(2)听录音时不要马上做出选择,注意对话中的语气变化和各类连接词,比如“and”“but”“so”等。这些都可以被称为信号词。它们预示了后面的内容可以是新增添的或者验证了的信息,可以是对比,也可以是理由或者例子。

(3)选出答案之后再听一遍录音,以检查选择是否正确。

试题 Question 8

Why can't the man use the self-service machine to check in?

○ His customer booking reference is wrong.

○ His flight isn't open for check-in yet.

○ His reservation is part of a group booking.

试题分析 Analysis

审题 :题目问的是:“为什么这个男人不能用自助服务机办理登机手续?”

听力原文分析 :前两句对话都是在表达男人不能使用自助服务机办理登机的事情,和题目答案有关的对话从女人问“Could I see your booking reference?”开始。男人回应说“But I am sure I entered the correct number.”,即他确认自己一定输入了正确的预约号。随后女人说“I see you booked on a group flight. You'll need to check in at a desk. I'll find you one that's open, so you don't have to queue.”,也就是说男人预订的是团体票,所以要在柜台办理登机,随后女人带男人去找一个开放的柜台办理登机。

选项分析 :选项1说的是他的预约号是错的,与原文意思相反,原文的意思是他输入了正确的预约号但还是不能值机,因此选项1排除;选项2说的是这个航班没有开放值机,而听力原文中说“You'll need to check in at a desk.”,说明这趟航班已经可以值机了,只是需要在柜台值机,因此选项2排除;选项3说的是他预订的票属于团体票,和原文的内容一致(I see you booked on a group flight. You'll need to check in a desk.),因此是正确答案。

技巧总结 Recap of Tips

(1)在听录音之前,请务必先读题目与选项,关注题目与选项中的关键词。

● 在编写试题和选项时,编写者经常会改写你在音频中听到的单词。

● 音频中的一些关键词将作为信号词帮助你找到答案。

● 题目和选项中的关键词可以帮助你理解大意,在听录音时,你就能更容易地理解细节。

(2)听录音时注意对话中的语气变化和各类连接词。

(3)听录音时注意语境。你可能会听到一个不熟悉的单词,在这种情况下,你可以使用上下文线索(提示或额外的信息)来理解未知单词的意思。

(4)如果你错过了一些信息,不要惊慌失措。

● 保持放松,继续做下一题。

● 跟上音频的节奏很重要,要记住音频中的信息与问题的呈现顺序是一致的。

(5)第一次听对话时,找出与问题相关的对话部分。可以是对话中的一个单词或短语,甚至是问题中的一个单词的同义词。但是,需要注意有误导性的错误选项,音频中的单词会原词重现在其中。

(6)第二次听对话时,检查所选答案是否正确。

○ when he's walking around.

5. James says that when he photographs people,

○ he treats them politely.

○ he does so secretly.

○ he needs a long time to prepare.

试题分析 Analysis

Q1 这道题与音频的第一部分有关,题目问的是“什么原因让James决定成为一名摄影师”。选项1是一个有误导的选项,虽然James的家人有为报纸工作过,但是他自己说“wanted to do something different”。选项2也是错误的,因为James没有提到从小就喜欢拍照。选项3是正确的,因为在音频的一开始,James就表明“…when I was in college, I saw an exhibition of the work of a famous photojournalist, and the pictures were so exciting that I changed my mind. I bought a camera and started to learn how to use it.”。也就是说,他想要成为一名photojournalist就是从看完一次名人作品展开始的。

Q2 题目问的是“James刚参加了一个什么课程”。以下这段听力内容都是关于James想要学的:

“There have been a lot of changes in photojournalism since I began, and sometimes I go back to college and bring myself up to date with the new technology. Colour is one subject that I like to study and the tricks that are used in advertising. The new methods used for photographing action are amazing and I've just come back from a course on that.”

选项1和这段音频的内容不相关。选项3是误导性的选项,因为虽然提到James想要学习色彩学,但他没有说真的去上课了。选项2是正确的,对应文中的“The new methods used for photographing action are amazing and I've just come back from a course on that.”。注意,“just come back”对应题目中的关键词“recently”,“that”指代前面的“photographing action”。

Q3 题目问的是“James在澳大利亚做的最后一篇文章的主题是什么”。在听到“I spent the whole of last year in Australia working for a magazine. They wanted one feature every two months, so I had time to get some really good pictures. The last set I did was of towns…”的时候可以判断他在澳大利亚 最后 做的主题是关于towns的,因此正确答案是选项1。选项2和3是错误的,因为它们是James在 之前 做的主题。

Q4 题目问的是“James拍照片的一些想法多半来自于哪里”。听力原文中的“There's never any problem about getting ideas for pictures. The majority of them come from discussing with the picture editor what he or she needs.”回答了这个问题。也就是说James大部分的想法来源于和编辑的探讨,因此正确答案是选项2。解答这道题的时候需要注意题干中的关键词“mostly”,它是对原文中的“majority“的改写。虽然选项1和3也是James拍照的灵感来源,但不是主要的。

Q5 题目问的是“James说当他拍摄人物时,他会怎么做”。答案在听力原文的最后一部分:

“When I started as a photojournalist, I tried to take pictures of people without them knowing it, but that didn't work. I just got dozens of unusable pictures. It's important to be polite and always accept it if people say they don't want to be photographed. You have to set up a photograph well to get good results, but if you take too long people won't be relaxed.”

选项1对应听力原文的“It's important to be polite and always accept it…”,因此是正确答案。选项2是误导性的选项,原文中提到“When I started as a photojournalist, I tried to take pictures of people without them knowing it, but that didn't work.”,也就是说James只有在过去才偷偷拍别人,而且这个方法不奏效。选项3同样具有误导性,原文中提到“You have to set up a photograph well to get good results, but if you take too long people won't be relaxed.”,也就是说James虽然需要时间准备,但太长时间会让人无法放松。

技巧总结 Recap of Tips

(1)在听录音之前,仔细阅读题干与选项,也可以试着预测一下听力原文。

(2)确定题干和选项中的关键词,特别注意这其中的形容词或副词。

(3)听录音时需要关注主旨大意。许多问题都是关于主旨大意的,而不是诸如姓名、日期和地点等非常具体的细节。

(4)听录音时需特别关注各种信息是如何相互联系以及这些信息是如何组织起来的。常见的关系有以下几种:比较与对比,原因与结果,事件的顺序。通过关注连接词或词组,你可以弄清楚这些关系。

(5)第一次听录音时,不要急于确定正确答案。相反,找出与每个问题相关的对话部分,也可以试着完成简单的问题。

(6)第二次听录音时,完成第一次没有回答的问题,并检查之前选择的答案是否正确。

(7)记住,正确的答案通常是对听力原文的同义改写并且正确地回答了问题。一些误导性的选项可能会转述或重复音频中的关键词,但它们并没有正确地回答问题。
