這篇短文的第一個(gè)問(wèn)題是:What is the passage mainly about? (DA The liberation movement of British women.B Rapid economic development in Britain.C Changing attitudes to family life.D Reasons for changes in family life in Britain.答案為選項(xiàng)D。這篇短文是一篇評(píng)論社會(huì)問(wèn)題的文章。在這類文章中,作者常就該問(wèn)題進(jìn)行分析和研究,同時(shí)還表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)。而聽(tīng)者在回答問(wèn)題時(shí)常要作一定的推理分析。本篇短文探討的是一個(gè)社會(huì)問(wèn)題引起英國(guó)家庭生活變化的各種原因,主題句是文章的第一句話There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years(有多種原因促進(jìn)了英國(guó)的家庭生活在過(guò)去50年間發(fā)生巨大變化。把握好這個(gè)主題對(duì)理解全文大意和全文的中心思想非常重要。文中列舉的第一個(gè)原因是英國(guó)婦女的解放運(yùn)動(dòng)。第二個(gè)原因是科技,尤其是醫(yī)學(xué)的進(jìn)步。第三個(gè)原因是對(duì)宗教、權(quán)威和傳統(tǒng)的不同態(tài)度。選項(xiàng)A The liberation movement of British women只是其中一個(gè)原因,不全面。選項(xiàng)B和C陳述錯(cuò)誤。只有選項(xiàng)D Reasons for changes in family life in Britain這個(gè)陳述既正確又全面,為正確答案。第二個(gè)問(wèn)題是:Why did British women bee indispensable to industry after World War Two? (AA Because millions of men died in the war.B Because women had proved their worth.C Because women were more skillful than men.D Because factories preferred to employ women.答案為選項(xiàng)A。本題針對(duì)短文中的細(xì)節(jié)提問(wèn)。文中講到“During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. Now, with the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nati on”。這兩句話的意思是:“在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中,女人們?cè)诠S工作,并證明了他們的價(jià)值。當(dāng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)束了,由于數(shù)以百萬(wàn)計(jì)的男人們?cè)趹?zhàn)爭(zhēng)中喪生,女人的勞動(dòng)對(duì)于這個(gè)國(guó)家仍然是至關(guān)重要的。” 很明顯,文中給出的原因是選項(xiàng)A Because millions of men died in the war。第三個(gè)問(wèn)題是:What remained unchanged in spite of all the challenges to family life? (AA The concept of “the family” as a social unit.B The attitudes to birth control.C The attitudes to religion.D The ideas of authority and tradition.答案為選項(xiàng)A。本題也是針對(duì)短文中的細(xì)節(jié)提問(wèn)。文章最后一句講到:“It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of “the family” as a social unit has survived all these challenges。”這句話說(shuō)明的是家庭作為一個(gè)社會(huì)單位在經(jīng)歷各種挑戰(zhàn)之后仍然存在至今。問(wèn)題中的“remain unchanged”相當(dāng)于“survive”,所以答案是選項(xiàng)A The concept of “the family” as a social unit。在解決這類題時(shí),由于考查內(nèi)容是有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)的,所以選項(xiàng)中會(huì)有一些與原文基本一致,問(wèn)題也常常按照短文敘述的先后順序提出。大家可邊聽(tīng)錄音邊看選項(xiàng),聽(tīng)到什么選什么,有必要時(shí)做適當(dāng)、簡(jiǎn)單的紀(jì)錄?!鰪?fù)合式聽(tīng)寫(xiě)復(fù)合式聽(tīng)寫(xiě)歷來(lái)是考生們最頭疼的四級(jí)“絕殺”。因?yàn)橥耆珱](méi)有選擇,需要真刀真槍地寫(xiě)出所有答案。但是,在新四級(jí)當(dāng)中,由于作為固定模式出現(xiàn),復(fù)合式聽(tīng)寫(xiě)將永恒存在。10題中,前7空需要寫(xiě)出7個(gè)單詞,實(shí)際上,這些單詞中大部分都屬于能夠聽(tīng)懂,但是容易寫(xiě)錯(cuò)的單詞。所以,平時(shí)的功底就很重要了。而對(duì)于分?jǐn)?shù)設(shè)計(jì)較高的最后3個(gè)空,也就是長(zhǎng)句子聽(tīng)寫(xiě),建議用“按照自己的話把題目要點(diǎn)寫(xiě)出來(lái)”而盡量不要“完全按照聽(tīng)到的寫(xiě)下來(lái)”,因?yàn)楹笳叩碾y度實(shí)在太大,另外,也沒(méi)有必要。作為四級(jí)新題型,快速閱讀讓很多同學(xué)產(chǎn)生了畏難情緒。的確,15分鐘要閱讀一篇1200字左右的文章并且做完后面的十道題目,發(fā)現(xiàn)難度并不像想象中那么大,甚至可以這么說(shuō),如果復(fù)習(xí)方法得當(dāng),?快速
