一、基本解题思路
小对话:视听反向原则、同义替换原则。
视听反向原则是指,在小对话的题目中,看似明显被读到的选项反而更容易是错的。但须注意,当小对话原文本身较长或生僻词较多时,该原则可能会出现特例,如03年6月第8题。
同义替换是指,若某一选项中的单词或短语是听力原文中单词或短语的同义形式,则该选项容易为正确。
例题:
2002年6月六级考试第4题
A. The woman doesn’t think it a problem to get her passport renewed.
B. The woman has difficulty renewing her passport.
C. The woman hasn’t renewed her passport yet.
D. The woman’s passport is still valid.
原文:
M: Have you run up against any problems in getting the passport renewed?
W: I haven’t started applying yet.
Q: What do we know from the conversation?
解析:可以明显看出,本题的答案为D.其中,另外三项的大部分单词或短语都被读到。”valid”意为“(在一段时间内)有效的”。
例题:
2007年6月六级考试第15题
A. More money. B. Fair treatment. C. A college education. D. Shorter work hours.
原文:
W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month.
M: I hope not. I’d rather get more work hours so I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college.
Q: What does the man truly want?
解析:准确答案A。More money 替换enough bucks,同义替换,听到的慎选。
例题:
2008年12月六级考试第16题
A. Fixing some furniture. B. Repairing the toy train.
C. Reading the instructions. D. Assembling the bookcase.
原文:
M: The instructions on the package say that you need to do some assembly yourself. I’ve spent all afternoon trying in vain to put this bookcase together.
W: I know what you mean. Last time I tried to assemble a toy train for my son and I almost gave up.
Q: What does the man find difficult?
解析:准确答案D。assemble 和put...together同义替换,听到部分的慎选。
