根据《2005年甘肃省普通高等学校招生考试外语听力测试实施方案》精神，从2005年开始我省高考(高考新闻,高考说吧)英语听力考试下放由各市、州自行制定考试时间，自行组织命题、考试。甘肃省教育科学研究所为此编写了《2007年甘肃省普通高等学校招生英语听力测试大纲》，并制定了命题原则、命题程序及方法。
“测试大纲”将是2007年我省普通高等学校招生英语听力考试命题的依据。
一、考试性质和目的
高考英语听力测试是普通高等学校招生考试的一个组成部分，测试着眼于提高学生语言应用能力，尤其是测试考生理解口头英语的能力，促进英语学科的教学改革。
二、考试内容和要求
高考英语听力测试要求考生能听懂日常生活中内容熟悉、发音清晰、语速适当的简短对话和独白。听力试题的设置严格按照“继续加强语言测试的交际原则，加大语言交际能力的考查力度”的要求，更加全面地考查学生综合运用语言的能力。
听力部分提供的语言材料是口语表达形式的对话或独白，每段对话和独白都涉及到某一特定话题，具有特定的交际情境。
高考英语听力测试主要考查考生以下能力：
（1）听清、听懂对话或独白内容的能力。这就需要掌握基本的语音知识，特别注意口语中经常出现的连读、弱化、失去爆破、同化、语调、重音等。
（2）理解对话或独白，分析、确认事实细节的能力。有时听力材料反映的相关内容，试题中可能会以不同方式表达出来，但意义却是一样的。
（3）把握整体内容，进行概括总结，理解主旨大意的能力。
（4）根据材料内容，或者说话者的语气、语调，进行推理、判断的能力。
（5）根据材料内容或背景信息，推测相关具体内容，如时间、地点、场合、身份、态度、关系等。
三、考试形式与试卷结构
根据省上有关要求，2007年高考英语听力测试仍然由各市、州自己单独命题，命题采用闭卷的方式，考试时间为30分钟，试卷满分为30分。试卷包括简短对话、对话、独白等题型，共分两节。第一节是五段短对话（一般为一问一答形式），每段对话后设一个小题（共5小题，每小题1．5分），要求考生从每小题所给的三个选项中选出最佳选项，每段对话的录音材料仅读一遍。第二节是五段长对话或独白，每段对话或独白后设几个小题（共15小题，每小题1．5分），要求考生从每小题所给的三个选项中选出最佳选项，每段对话或独白的录音材料读两遍。对话部分由一男一女朗读（一般为英音），谈话双方的声音特点明显不同，身份明确；考生实际的听力理解时间一般控制为20分钟左右。无论是上述哪一种类型的试题，都将放在真实的语境中进行考查，而不会把脱离语境的语言材料作为考试内容。
测试安排：听力测试正式开考前10分钟开始分发试卷、答题卡和试音（两者同时进行），等播音中出现“试音到此结束”时立即停止播放，不要将磁带倒回开头处，待等到听力考试正式考试信号时继续播放。此时英语听力测试正式开始，考生根据测试内容开始按语音提示作答。
答题方式：考生根据所听到的对话或独白从每题所给的题目中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置，最终必须涂在答题卡上。
试题难易度由低到高按7：2：1比例命题，即考查基础知识和基本技能的试题占70%，考查学生灵活运用语言知识能力、难度稍高的试题占20%，有一定深度的较难试题占10%。
四、命题原则、命题特点及素材特点
1．命题原则
听力是与外国人直接交往中必不可少的一种语言能力。英语听力试题是为了考查学生理解口头英语的能力。听的能力反映在听的过程中，对说话者所发出的信息进行辨别、判断和理解。新《全日制高级中学英语学科课程标准》中对听力的二级目标要求应是我省各市、州听力试题命题的重要参考依据。它要求考生能听懂英美人士的录音材料，能听懂所学语言范围内用正常语速谈论日常生活的内容，能听懂没有生词、题材熟悉、难度略低于所学材料的语段，语速为每分钟120个词。听力二级目标要求考生做到：听一遍能理解大意，听二至三遍能了解其中重要的细节，理解正确率要求达到70%。
《普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语学科考试说明》指出，听力理解是领会语言语义的一项重要能力，听者要对听到的语音信号进行复杂加工，整个过程是一个非常积极、非常活跃的动态过程，是背景知识、语境和语言知识相互撞击、相互作用，对听力材料不断吸收、最终形成理解的过程。
2007年的甘肃省高考英语听力测试将进一步在2006年的基础上，继续以检测学生理解和获取信息的能力为重点，更加注重考查学生的听力技能。
2．命题特点
1）强调话语的整体理解；
2）强调口语的真实性；
3）强调对社会语言策略的具体把握；
4）强调情感、情绪因素在口语表述中的重要作用；
5）强调听力技能的熟练运用；
6）选材尽量贴近学生、贴近生活、贴近时代。
具体表现在：
1、大多数听力材料来源于英语国家的生活会话，具有明显的口语特征，听起来自然、真实，符合在非测试状态下英语口语在日常生活中运用的真实情景。
2、题材广泛，内容涉及日常生活、文化教育、风土人情、传说故事、时事新闻、科普知识、人物传记等许多方面，话题明确，主题突出，有利于全面有效地检测考生在不同生活实际环境下对所学语言的接受能力。
3、听力材料一般由5段1-2个回合的简短对话和5段3-5个回合的较长对话或独白组成，该部分语句结构和内容层次比前一部分简短对话略显复杂。但一般来说，除一些专有名词外，材料中一般没有生词。
4、题干和选项一般比较简短，各选项的长度、难度和结构基本一致。
5、语速自然，相当于真实生活中人们讲话的正常语速。
6、听力材料一般由英籍专家朗读，但将来也可能会有美音、甚至澳大利亚和加拿大音，乃至背景音，体现语言的真实性、交际性和实用性。
3．素材特点
听力理解的语言材料有别于阅读材料，具体表现在：句子短，语言结构不如书面语言那么严谨，且多余信息多（诸如you know, listen, well, I mean, you see等），内容多为贴近学生生活或日常交际生活中的对话或独白，它来源于生活，体现生活，和我们日常生活有密切联系，具有口语特征，诸如犹豫、停顿、重复、思考、重音、略音、拖长音、被打断、语序颠倒等，句子简短等。同时，录音文字材料的语言难度也略低于阅读材料，材料中一般不会出现生词，但个别不影响理解的词汇也有可能出现；选项中能用单词的不用短语，能用短语的不用句子，不用复杂的句子作选项；听力试题不考查语法知识；问题常以特殊疑问句的形式出现，不以一般疑问句的形式出现。
听力语言材料的内容主要涉及日常生活、文化教育、风土人情、时事和科普常识等方面。常见的日常生活的话题有：问候、邀请、看病、约会、聚餐、购物、通知、问路、打电话、谈论天气、询问时间、自然灾害、新闻报道等等内容。听力语言材料的长度适宜，既有足够的信息量供试题设计问题，又不会给考生增加记忆负担，最长的一段语言材料只有150个词左右（近两年的试题情况），最短的对话也创设了一个较明确的语境。
五、命题程序及方法
命题既是一种学术水平的体现，也是一门技术。为了使试题既符合教学大纲对学习内容的目标要求，又能体现考试评价改革的新理念，命题一般要经过以下步骤：
1．学习教学大纲（包括教材）及《标准》中有关听力要求的内容，研读《2005年甘肃省普通高等学校招生外语听力测试大纲》中的有关规定。
2．制定“双向细目表”。
3．选择拟出题的各个分项。在“双向细目表”中，利用打“√”等方式选择在哪些知识点上命题。所命试题的题型、难度、分值应符合《2007年甘肃省普通高等学校招生外语听力测试大纲》中的“一、二、三”尤其是“三、考试方式与试卷结构”的要求。
4．利用前三步拟定好的双向细目表开始命题。
5．讨论修改。当试题命制完毕后，每个命题人应根据“双向细目表”认真阅读自己命制的试题，并做适当的调整或修改。
6．拼卷。当试题修改后，经过集体讨论就可以拼卷了，讨论时应该说明所命试题的出处等。拼卷时，要注意由易到难排列。拼好试卷后，再认真考虑整卷的难度、各考查内容的比例、赋分等。最后，根据整卷分析情况进行个别试题的调整、修改或重新命制。
7．审题。当试卷拼好并进行调整后，即可审题，审题时，既要审查每道试题的科学性，还要考虑效度、信度、难度，以及整卷的内容比例、难度比例等。
8．根据审题意见进行修改。
在命题过程中要避免试题中出现不规范性和随意性，要特别注意其中的第3至第5步骤。
六、题型示例

三、考查独白
Now, you want to know about life in the past. Right? I can tell you. When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. That was not very bad in summer, but in winter it was cold. And we didn’t have any hot water in the house. We had to wash in cold water. We didn’t have a bathroom. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was a bus, but we didn’t have the money. And we had to go to bed at seven o’clock every night. We couldn’t watch TV because there wasn’t any. On Sundays we had to go to church three times --- morning, afternoon and evening. And we couldn’t play outside on Sundays. But it wasn’t all bad. We had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn’t have to worry about us. There weren’t so many cars on the roads then, so the streets were safe to play in. And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren’t able to buy all those things in the shops today. Life was hard, but it was simple and people were happier. I don’t think I’d like to be young today.
