2、词汇和语法
(1)注意扩充词汇量:研究发现,词汇量是影响听力的主要因素之一,词汇量的匮乏往往是造成听力能力提高的首要因素。因此,同学们在训练听力技巧的同时,应注意词汇量的扩充。
(2)加强同义表达方式的听力训练:在听力选择中,相当一部分情况下,答案就是对话信息的同义表达方式。如:
①W: The speech the blind girl gave this evening was extremely touching.
M: I think everybody felt the same.
Q: How did the man feel about the girls speech?
A. It was boring. B. It was entertaining.
C. It was moving. D. It was encouraging.
Moving与touching意思相近,答案为C。再如:
②M: Nancy, why were you late today?
W: I overslept and missed the bus.
Q: Why was Nancy late? (1999.1)
A. She got up later than usual.
B. The bus was late.
