怎样训练英语专八听力
全国性的英语专业八级考试是一项检验英语专业学生语言能力的考试。该文就听力题型部分进行分析,从实践角度就如何使学生在练习中应用技巧解决难题,提高听力水平提出了一些建议。
怎样训练英语专八听力
（1）选择准确的听力材料
实际上，“听”和“说”不分家的原则也体现在TEM-8考试中。TEM-8考试听力均选自一般口语性较强、反映现代生活的英语资料。因此，考生可以集中精力多听一些大众媒介英语，进行实战演习。所选听力材料在难度上应低于阅读材料，因为读不懂的东西一般听不懂。来源于报刊、杂志、电影、电视的英语是练习听力的极好的材料。英语专业的学生，特别是高年级学生，可以通过看原版电影或听电影录音剪辑来练习听力。一般学校都会有丰富的音像资料，许多城市还专门开辟了英语电视频道，电视英语新闻对考生应付TEM-8考试第三部分有很大的帮助。
（2）选用恰当的练习方法
练习听力时，大家可采取“精听”和“泛听”两种方式结合来训练自己，前者的重点在于深度，后者则注重广度。精听的目的在于从what，who，where，when，why 和how等角度入手，弄懂与之有关的所有问题，即所有细节性问题;而泛听则是听懂大意即可。
通过这两方面长期不懈的努力，考生最终能获得用英语进行思维的能力。如果能做到用英语思考问题，那么做对几道试题是不会有太多困难的，因为试题从广义上也就分为两大类，局部理解题和通篇理解题，前者属于精听的范畴，而后者则属于泛听的对象。听的目的在于懂，那么，如何衡量自己是否听懂呢?一个行之有效的方法就是“复述”。在听完一个片段后，可将所听的内容重复一遍，如果具有较高的准确度，就说明真正听懂了;否则需要再听一遍，如果连听几遍还无法较为满意地复述，说明所听内容太难，应予以更换。
与此同时，还应通过“读”帮助“听”，特别是在听新闻方面。与其他听力材料相比，新闻具有其鲜明的特点。新闻的内容特别广泛，几乎覆盖生活的各个方面。听英语新闻的最大一个障碍是对新闻词汇的生疏。因此，在学习听新闻的初级阶段，可以阅读一些大众媒体文献，如报纸、刊物，从中积累一些新闻用语，一些重要组织的名称如EEC(European Economic Community)欧洲经济共同体、IMF(International Monetary Fund)国际货币基金会、OPEC(Organization of PetroleumExporting Countries)石油输出国组织、NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration)国家航空和航天局;单词如upsurge(高涨)、manoeuvre(策略)、escalation(升级)、allegation(断言)等等。对现实生活各个领域的词汇都略知一二是听懂新闻的基础。新闻作为一种语言测试题型也是语言在现实生活中真实运用的体现。在TEM-8考试中，新闻的内容均为考生所熟悉的一般性政治、经济、娱乐等方面的信息，在题材上不
会给考生造成障碍，其目的只是测试考生从VOA或BBC获取新闻的能力。与其他听力练习一样，提高听英语新闻的能力的唯一途径也是多听。在英语新闻听力训练初级阶段，考生可借助有文字稿的教材帮助训练。考生在训练时应提倡首先在不看文字材料的情况下直接听录音答题，在多次不能听懂时再看文字稿。经过一段时间这样的训练后，多数同学的听力能力都能有明显提高。在达到完全脱稿就能基本听懂新闻的要求后，考生可过渡到定时定量收听英语新闻的练习。练习时还要注意在前面提到的一个问题，即听懂是一个方面，如果能做到在听懂后能将一则新闻的重要细节和大意在脑海里回顾一遍或复述一遍，这对听力能力达到质的飞跃有极大的帮助。倘若坚持“听”与“复述”相结合的练习，对大家的听力及用英语进行思维的能力有很大的提高。
TEM-8听力第四部分是一个将听力和做笔记填空结合的题型。该项目是一个700字左右的讲座，考生边听边做笔记，然后完成填空练习。听讲座记笔记是学生学习生活不可缺少的环节，这一题型正是考察学生根据听力材料做笔记并整理笔记完成工作的能力。TEM-8听力第四部分这一题型实际上分为理解、找出要点、笔录和填空等步骤。值得注意的是考试中考生所需要填空的单词均是有关讲座内容的实词，而不是语法功能词，因为该项目的测试目的是考察考生对讲座内容的理解。考生在平时训练时可选择听一些就某一问题进行探讨、有一定深度的录音材料，一边听一边就重要的情节做笔记，然后根据笔记写出一篇摘要。考生如果能成功地做到这一点，就无须担心考试
中的这一题型，因为考试中考生用于填空的文字材料也就是基于听力录音的一篇内容摘要。
以上谈到的是考生必须在平时打下牢固的语言基础，下面来看看考试过程中应注意的一些技巧。没有扎实的语言基础，谈论技巧是毫无意义的，这里所谈的技巧是以平时坚实的语言训练为基础的。
（1）预读考题
听力与语法、阅读不同，语法、阅读可以读完再回读，但听力的内容是暂时、一次性的，因此学会抓要点、关键词，以意群为单位理解全文，就变得相当重要。在八级考试的听力部分中，问题都已印在考卷上，同时在各部分题目前试题上都印有一段题目指令，磁带上也录有相应指令，由于每年考试这部分指令都基本相同，考生只要熟悉这些内容，就可以利用播放指令的这段时间，或利用两道题目之间的10秒停顿间隙，快速浏览一下已印在试卷上的问题和四个选择项，从而获取听音前的思考线索和对听音内容的背景提示，这样在听的过程中，就可以有针对性地有选择地听原文，从而抓住相关信息，滤除不相关的内容，减轻听的负担和记忆的负荷，以提高听的有效性，同时，通过阅读干扰项，多些背景提示，再分析四个选择项的异同，以此作为线索，听的时候，做到有的放矢。例如看到下面一题时，即可知道整个录音很可能与抢劫有关。
What strikes the woman most about the male robber is his .
A. clothes
B. age
C. physique
D. appearance.
一旦获悉即将听到的一篇材料与抢劫有关的信息后，大脑就很自然地启动一些所储存的关于抢劫的情景，这样就几乎达到了兵马未动，粮草先行的境地，从而主动权就掌握在考生手里。反之，如果不进行试题预读，可能在听完全部材料的三分之一后才知道其中心议题是抢劫。这就是预读的重要性。不仅如此，还可以利用多余的答题时间来达到预读的目的。题与题之间一般有15秒的答题时间，如果考生只用5秒就做好了第一题，那么余下的10秒就可以用于预读第2题、第3题等。TEM-8考试听力的四个部分中，只有第四部分考生不能预读，因为考生在做完笔录后才发给该部分答卷即ANSWER SHEET ONE。
（2）仔细审题
审题似乎是一个老生常谈的话题，但却是十分重要的问题。这里所说的审题并非指考生完全看不懂题目，而是指由于审题不仔细而捕捉不到问题的核心。来看看下面一道题：
The modern electronic anti-noise devices
A. are an update version of the traditional methods.
B. share similarities with the traditional methods.
C. are as inefficient as the traditional methods.
D. are based on an entirely new working principle.
以上问题的核心在于领会modern electronic anti-noise devices(现代抗噪音电子装置)的定义，而不仅仅是抗噪音电子装置)，更不是一般的anti-noise devices(抗噪音装置)。录音中很可能出现
有关anti-noise device在各个不同发展时期不同特点的信息，如果不认真审题，就会出现张冠李戴的错误。另外，审题的仔细还表现在领悟特殊形式的题干，如否定式Which of the following isINCORRECT，或排除式All the following are true EXCEPT，等等。正确审题是答题的关键，否则听力能力再好的考生也不会有好的成绩。
（3）领会讲话者的语气
听懂说话者的语气可帮助回答问题。这一点在TEM-8听力第二部分(对话或面试)显得更为重要。例如，Well，I’m afraid I do. But I might be mistaken.表示了说话者不肯定的语气。有时字面意思与说话者所要表达的意图相反，这时考生更多的是依赖讲话者的口气来答题。如，I’d besacked if I accepted your offer.所表达的是拒绝。讲话的口气是多种多样的，它可以表达惊奇、犹豫、挑战、讽刺、安慰、决心等，正确领会它们会收到事半功倍的效果。
（4）听与记录同时进行
考生可在听的过程中适当做些笔录因为仅凭脑力无法记住长达数分钟的讨论或对话。考生在记录时不必拘于形式，做一些只要自己能明白的简单符号记录即可，特别是众多的数字、时间、日期、人名、地名更需要做些笔记。而且，TEM-8听力第四部分正是考察“听和“记”的同步能力。
TEM-8听力第四部分记笔记填空是较为复杂的听力测试项目，有其自身特点，掌握这些特点对考生大有好处。该部分录音通常是一
篇具有较强逻辑性的篇章，从几个方面论证或叙述一个问题。因为考生须填空的词是基于整个题要点及其重要细节的实词，所以考生在记笔记时应重点盯住这些内容，而非繁文褥节。举个例子，如果录音中出现了关于一个问题的三四个例证，如为了说明fastfood而列举了Kentucky Fried Chicken，McDonalds，Pizza Hut等等，考生最多记住一两个即可。另外，用于填空的词不一定非得是录音中出现的词，凡是在语义上与原文一致且语法上与填空短文相适应的单词均可。本书练习题该部分并不局限于书中所给出的答案，可能的答案也许有更多，大家可自行掌握。填空时，考生一定要注意所填单词的词性准确无误。发现，有的考生能找出一个意义相应的词，但不是很注意词性，因为该填动词的地方一定要填动词，如不能用intense来代替intensify。另外，倘若所填单词在句首，该单词首字母要大写。最后，希望广大考生千万不要盲目信仰应试技巧而忽视语言基本能力的训练，因为技巧只不过是以扎实语言基本功为基础的一点儿辅助性的东西而已。

怎样训练英语专八听力 全国性的英语专业八级考试是一项检验英语专业学生语言能力的考试。该文就听力题型部分进行分析，从实践角度就如何使学生在练习中应用技巧解决难题，提高听力水平提出了一些建议。 怎样训练英语专八听力 （１）选择准确的听力材料 实际上,“听”和“说”不分家的原则也体现在TEM-8考试中。TＥM－8考试听力均选自一般口语性较强、反映现代生活的英语资料。因此,考生可以集中精力多听一些大众媒介英语，进行实战演习。所选听力材料在难度上应低于阅读材料，因为读不懂的东西一般听不懂。来源于报刊、杂志、电影、电视的英语是练习听力的极好的材料。英语专业的学生，特别是高年级学生,可以通过看原版电影或听电影录音剪辑来练习听力。一般学校都会有丰富的音像资料，许多城市还专门开辟了英语电视频道,电视英语新闻对考生应付ＴＥM-8考试第三部分有很大的帮助。 (２）选用恰当的练习方法 练习听力时，大家可采取“精听”和“泛听”两种方式结合来训练自己，前者的重点在于深度，后者则注重广度。精听的目的在于从what，whｏ，ｗｈeｒe, ｗhen, wｈy 和ｈow等角度入手，弄懂与之有关的所有问题,即所有细节性问题;而泛听则是听懂大意即

It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass. But this is not the fault of their language. The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’. The position is simply and obvio usly that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments. The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important. Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life. For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture. But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many of us could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury, a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ? 2010年专八真题改错参考答案 1 be后插入as; 2 their改为its; 3 There改为It; 4 Whereas改为But 5 further 改为much 6 come改为bring; 7 similar改为different; 8 will改为would; 9 as important去掉as; 10 the part去掉the 2010年专八真题人文知识参考答案 31、D；32、A；33、D；34、A；35、C；36、D；37、A；38、A；39、C；40、B。 2010年专八真题汉译英参考答案 Friends tend to become more intimated if they have the same interests and temper, they can get along well and keep contacting; otherwise they will separate and end the relationship. Friends who are more familiar and closer can not be too casual and show no respect. Otherwise the harmony and balance will be broken, and the friendship will also be nonexistent any more. Everyone hopes to have his own private space, and if too casual among friends, it is easy to invade this piece of restricted areas, which will lead to the conflict, resulting in alienation. It may be a small matter to be rude to friends; however, it is likely to plant the devastating seeds. The best way to keep the close relationship between friends is to keep contacts with restraint, and do not bother each other. 2010年专八真题英译汉参考答案 我想那是五月的一个周日的早晨；那天是复活节，一个大清早上。我站在自家小屋的门口。就在我的面前展现出了那么一番景色，从我那个位置其实能够尽收眼底，可是梦里的感觉往往如此，由于梦幻的力量，这番景象显得超凡出尘，一派肃穆气象。群山形状相同，其山脚下都有着同样可爱的山谷；不过群山挺然参天，高于阿尔卑斯峰，诸山相距空旷，丰草如茵，林地开阔，错落其间；树篱上的白玫瑰娟娟弥望；远近看不见任何生物，唯有苍翠的教堂庭院里，牛群静静地卧躺在那片郁郁葱葱的墓地歇息，好几头围绕着一个小孩的坟墓。我曾对她一腔柔情，那年夏天是在旭日东升的前一刻，那孩子死去了，我如同当年那样望着牛群。 2010年专八真题作文参考答案 The important role of a city’s local conditions in the urban design Recently there is a hot debate on a report that a foreign design company invited by a little-known mountainous area in Guiyang provided a design without paying too much attention to the city’s unique characteristics. Some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design but others do not like it. In my opinion, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account.
