新四級(jí)考試中一個(gè)新增題型是新聞聽力,雖然占比分不高,只有7%,但是這表明測(cè)試越來越注重考生的語(yǔ)言應(yīng)用能力考查,這并不是單單通過技巧的學(xué)習(xí)就能夠輕松搞定的。這就回到了語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的本質(zhì),即應(yīng)用,即交流思想,即表情達(dá)意。本文就以考試樣文為依據(jù)來談一下如何通過三步法備考新四級(jí)新聞聽力。
Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It's been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company's decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.
The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain's slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.
Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.
Many of the store group's 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.
一、擴(kuò)大知識(shí)積累,聽清關(guān)鍵信息
首先,要掌握相關(guān)領(lǐng)域內(nèi)詞匯的發(fā)音,如經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、軍事、文化類的詞匯。這是一篇關(guān)于零售行業(yè)的報(bào)道,講述了沃爾沃斯零售公司的狀況,由于英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退以及競(jìng)爭(zhēng)加劇,沃爾沃斯經(jīng)營(yíng)管理舉步維艱,每況愈下,導(dǎo)致公司不得不通通過閉店面和裁員的方式來減少開支。一般新聞報(bào)道都會(huì)在開篇點(diǎn)題,也是我們需要重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的地方。下面我們來看一下這篇文章中出現(xiàn)的易考詞匯。
Woolworths n. 沃爾沃斯(澳大利亞一家零售公司)
call in 叫…來 (幫忙)
Administrators 行政人員,管理人員
Slide n. 滑動(dòng);幻燈片;滑梯;雪崩 vt. 滑動(dòng);使滑動(dòng);悄悄地迅速放置 vi. 滑動(dòng);滑落;不知不覺陷入
recession n. 衰退;不景氣;后退;
cut into 削減
Groceries n. 雜貨;食品;生活用品
Retailers [貿(mào)易] 零售商
二、閱讀文本,跟讀糾正錯(cuò)誤發(fā)音
一般情況下,我們常常止于第一步,聽完了一篇文章對(duì)完答案就過去了,這也是我們?yōu)槭裁绰犃Φ貌坏教岣叩闹饕?。因?yàn)橛行└締栴}在這篇文章中沒有得到解決會(huì)一直延續(xù)到后續(xù)所有聽力文章中。只有聽透每一篇文章,掃清聽力過程中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的障礙,避免聽力中容易犯的錯(cuò)誤,才能在下一篇文章聽力中有所提升。同學(xué)們可以做完題后先自己大聲朗讀文本,有條件的可以錄制下來以便和聽力錄音相比對(duì),看看自己哪些詞匯發(fā)音有誤或是對(duì)某些語(yǔ)音現(xiàn)象如連讀理解有偏差。
三、跟讀模仿發(fā)音
最后一步也是最為重要的一步就是要養(yǎng)成跟讀的習(xí)慣,模范播音員的語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào),注意常見的語(yǔ)音現(xiàn)象,若弱讀,失去爆破等。只有這樣多跟讀,多練習(xí),才能提高對(duì)音節(jié)和語(yǔ)調(diào)的敏感度,聽力能力才能得到根本提升。
