unit 1 收得领地Day 1 牛刀小试——计算类概述

牛刀小试——计算类概述

虽然近五年来十次四级听力考试计算类的题型在小对话中出现的频率不高，但有可能这次你会遇见咯！所以不得不防之。相对其他题型而言，计算类是四级听力中的基础题（可分为计算题、细节辨认题、等值转换题），也应该是你的抢分题，故不可“大意失荆州”。地球人都知道四级中听力的计算类不是在考咱们连小学生一年级都会做的加减乘除，测评大家的IQ，醉翁之意不在酒，而是在考大家对英语听力的反应速度，只要意识到这一点，现在你就要学会如何运用技巧来所谓的“抓鱼”了——核心在于抓住关键的细节所在之处，in a other word，你要知道根据题意该听什么，怎么把它去听准。

计算题

M: When does the next shuttle bus leave?

W: You have just missed one by 20 minutes. We have a bus every 45 minutes, so you’ll have to wait for a w hile.

Q: How long does the man need to wait for the next bus?

A) 25 minutes B) 65 minutes

C) 20 minutes D) 45 minutes

【解析】当你看见这四个选项，不难发现这一题是在考与时间有关的内容，并且从选项当中可以推测到是考时间的加减关系，因为其中三个选项都是正确答案的干扰选项，说到这里，你就要做好充分的思想准备。原文中除了听清20和45两个数字之外，重要的是明白其之间的联系，通过missed知道已经错过，而介词“by”专门用在计算题表差额；通过every知道每辆车之间45分钟，问的是wait for the next bus 还得等多长时间，很清楚这里是减法的计算关系，所以选择A。

细节辨认题

M: I wonder if Jack will come here by 11 o’clock.

W: His wife said he left home at 10:30, so he should be here at 11:20 at the latest.

Q: What time did Jack leave home?

A) 11:20 B) 10:30 C) 10:50 D) 11:30

【解析】原文中出现三个数字，11:00是Man觉得杰克应该到的时间；10:30是杰克的妻子说他离开家的时间；11:20是Woman认为杰克应该到的时间。我们再来看问题，选B是对号入座。

【死马活医】如果没听清，这里就要充分运用技巧来猜选，时间中的B和C选项，可以合并小时“10”；时间中的B和D选项，可以合并分钟“30”，通过合并同列项方法，就能猜选答案为B。

等值转换题

M: These postcards cost 60 cents a dozen.

W: Two dozen should certainly do.

Q: How many postcards will the man buy?

A) 60 B) 12 C) 24 D) 16

【解析】第一句话是“声东击西”，60美分一打，问题并不是我们所期待的考多少钱，考价格，而是在问数量，第二句话提到数量，但前面加了pair,

意味着要乘以2。除了清楚这些还不够，dozen是英语中数字的代用词，表示12。所以选C。

常见的数字计算类提问形式：

1. What time…? 5. How far…?

2. How much/many…? 6. How often…?

3. How long…? 7. How old…?

4. When…?

先来热热身

1. A) 6 B) 15 C) 20 D) 21

2. A) 5:00 B) 5:15 C) 5:30 D) 5:45

3. A) $ 2 B) $ 20 C) $ 12 D) $ 10

4. A) 5:00 B) 5:15 C) 5:30 D) 5:45

5. A) in 5 minutes B) in 10 minutes

C) in 15 minutes D) in 25 minutes

1. 【选D】原文重现

M: Tom must be over twenty now.

W: I think so, when I left Paris six years ago, he was already fifteen.

Q: How old is Tom now?

2. 【选B】原文重现1997.1

unit 1 收得领地Day 2 计算题

计算题

计算题中应注意对话中的具体数字，抓住其类型是时间，还是价格、重量、或数量以及其针对的相关动作或事件，在听的过程中有目的地做笔记，为以

后计算做好充分的准备。以下为与数字相关的常用词汇及表达方式。

①数字单位

百hundred 千thousand

百万million 十亿billion

②不定数目

前天the day before yesterday

后天the day after tomorrow

每隔一天every other day或every two days

每天daily 每周weekly 每月monthly 每年annual

【例1】1997.6

W: Here’s a 10-dollar bill, give me two tickets for tonight’s show please.

M: Sure. Two tickets and here’s $1.40 change.

Q: How much does one ticket cost?

A) $1.40 B) $4.30 C) $6.40 D) $8.60

【预测】看见选项带有“$”的符号，可断定这题是考与钱有关的内容，选项中的B和D又是倍数关系，往往为货币倍数计算题，所以确定B、D为最可疑选项。

【解析】原文中出现4个数字，首先，聪明的你必须分清楚它们分别代表什么，之间有什么联系：“10”代表一张面值10美元（bill）的应付钞票，“2”代表要买的2张门票（tickets），“1.40”代表所找的1.40元零钱（change），“1”代表问题中问到的1张门票值多少钱（cost）。再来计算，不难发现(10-1.40)/2=4.30，答案为B选项。

【例2】1997.1

M: What’s the time for departure?

W: 5:30.That only leaves us 15 minutes to go through the customs and check our baggage.

Q: At what time did this conversation take place?

A) 5:00 B) 5:15 C) 5:30 D) 5:45

【预测】通过选项发现此题的答案小时都为5，分钟各不同，可预测到这题肯定是考分钟的加减运算，并且分钟之间差额按顺序都有15分钟，故判断原文中可能会围绕“fifteen minutes”的计算。

【解析】原文中共出现两个数字，因此在听的过程中注意与这两个时间有关的动作或事件。5:30代表航班起飞的时间，明白leave代表只剩下15分通关的意思，不难听出它们之间的加减关系，所以A和C可以排除，剩下用减法，答案为B。

unit 1 收得领地Day 3 细节辨认题

细节辨认题

数字细节的辨认是数字类最简单的一种，直接就能在听力原文中找到答案，但往往也是许多考生丢分的所在之处。原因是在原文中有很多干扰信息，其迷惑性极高，容易使人掉入其陷阱当中。所以遇到这种题型，首先务必明确其所有相关数字它们分别代表什么，并且关键是问什么，做好相应笔记，不要张冠李戴，盲目作答。尤其是要分清数字中“-teen”和“-ty”等之类读法的区别：前者为重读音节“ee”发长元音/ i:/，而后者不是。

【例1】2001.6

M: I wonder if Suzy will be here by 5 o’clock.

W: Her husband said she left home at 4:30, she should be here at 5:10,maybe 5:15 at the latest.

Q: What time did Suzy leave home?

A) 5:15 B) 5:10 C) 4:30 D) 5:00

【解析】首先辨清问题是Suzy什么时候从家里出发，Suzy的丈夫说她4:30离家，所以C正确，A、B、D都为干扰选项，A是Suzy最晚需要到达的时间，B是Suzy应该到达的时间，D是预先计划到达的时间。

【例2】

W: Tom, you know that America covers an area of 9 million square kilometers?

M: Th at’s right. I also know the continental United States stretches 5,418 kilometers from the east to the west.

Q: What is the breadth of the continental USA from the east to the west?

A) 5,418 kilometers B) 5,481 kilometers

C) 9,000 kilometers D) 3,592 kilometers

【预测】看到这种选项，表明其答案在原文播音中一定会放出，应做好相应笔记。

【解析】通过合并同类项方法可以排除选项C，因为四位数前两位都是54，难点在于分清18和80的读法区别至关重要：eighteen & eighty。所以选A，正确四位数读法为five thousand four hundred and eighteen。

1. A) 9:30 B) 10:15 C) 10:50 D) 14:15

2. A) 7:50 B) 7:45 C) 8:00 D) 8:10

牛刀小试——关键词类概述

关键词类，顾名思义，在做这种题型时应通过选项来联想其相关词汇并留意相应问题中原文出现的关键信息词，以及对话中相关的背景和对话者的语气口吻来辨析其答案。大致可分为职业身份题、人物关系题、地点场景题等三大题型。

职业身份题

M: How about the food I ordered? I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes already.

W: I’m very sorry, sir. I will be back with your order in a minute.

Q: What’s the woman’s job?

A) A shop assistant B) A telephone operator

C) A waitress D) A clerk

【解析】在原文播放之前，应扩展联想到有关shop assistant、telephone operator、waitress、clerk四种职业的词汇如（food, order, number, shop, hotel等），为选择正确答案作好充分准备。抓住原文中关键信息词order、wait，可推断出场景发生在餐厅，女士谈话的语气和用词“sorry sir”来分析其职业为服务员。选择C。

人物关系题

W: I often mistake Tim for Bob. Can you tell them apart?

M: No, they look so much alike that they even confused their mother sometimes when they were young.

Q: What is the probable relationship between Tim and Bob?

A) They are twins B) They are classmates

C) They are friends D) They are colleagues

【解析】你的脑海中是否对twins、classmates、friends、colleagues积累了足够的信息词汇尤其重要（alike, homework, job等）。女士经常把Tim 和Bob 认错，并问男士有什么区别（apart），抓住男士回答的信息词look alike、their mother 不难判断其关系是双胞胎。所以答案是A。

地点场景题

M: Oh, dear! I’m starving, I can’t walk any farther. (2001.6)

W: Let’s go to the restaurant across the street and get something to eat.

Q: Where are the two people?

A) At home B) In a restaurant

C) In a car D) On the street

【解析】注意选项中的有关home、restaurant、car、street关键词汇来判断正确答案。原文中的walk, across the street是本题的关键信息词，所以选择D。同样提到的starving、restaurant是他们将要去的地方（小陷阱咯！），而不是现在的所在处。

先来热热身

1. A) In the woman’s department. B) In a departm ent.

C) On the third floor. D) At a man’s store.

2. A) A railway porter. B) A telephone operator.

C) A bus conductor. D) A postal clerk.

3. A) Driver and passenger. B) Policeman and driver.

C) Customer and waitress. D) Teacher and student.

4. A) A Policeman. B) A driver.

C) A boss. D) A teacher.

5. A) Manager and clerk. B) Director and secretary.

C) Professor and student. D) Father and daughter.

1. 【选B】原文重现

W: I’d like to buy a new dress.

M: The women’s department is up on the second floor, Madam.

Q: Where is this conversation taking place?

2. 【选D】原文重现1997.6

W: Excuse me, sir. I’m going to send this parcel to London, What’s the postage for it?

M: Let me see. It’s one pound and fifty.

Q: Who is the woman most probably speaking to?

3. 【选A】原文重现

W: I’m going to Wood Street, but I don’t know where it is.

M: Don’t worry, I’ll tell you where to get off.

Q: What is the most likely relationship between the two speakers?

4. 【选A】原文重现

M: Miss, don’t you know it’s forbidden to talk on your cell phone?

W: Sorry, sir. I won’t do that agai n.

Q: What might the man be?

5. 【选C】原文重现

W: When should I hand in my term paper, sir?

M: Since it must be a type-written one with 30 pages, you can hand it in next month.

Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?

这位男士提到prescription for some pills（药方），并且后面的语气see me if you still don’t feel well（如果不舒服再来找我），很明显man的身份是医生B。

unit 1 收得领地Day 8 人物关系题

人物关系题

人物关系题除了了解相关人物身份的关键信息提示词外，还需要通过特殊身份相互之间使用的特殊语言及语气来进行判断其相互关系，并通过选项提前作好预测。下面是若干人物关系经常出现的语气用词：

①夫妻、恋人常用亲昵温柔的语气：

dear darling

②店员与顾客常用的客气的语气：

sir madam

Can I…? What would you like to have?

③下属对老板常用恭敬伏贴的语气：

Mr. Mrs.

Ok Could you please…?

④亲朋好友常用简洁随便的语气：

Hi! What’s up?

Some water?

⑤父母、老师教训子女、学生常用严厉的语气：

Don’t you remember…? What are you doing?

⑥医生询问病人的语气：

You need take… What’s the trouble with you?

【例1】2003.1

W: John. What are you doing on you r computer? Don’t you remember your promise?

M: This is not a game. It’s only a crossword puzzle that helps increase my vocabulary.

Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

A) Colleagues B) Husband and wife

C) Employer and employee D) Mother and son

【解析】播音之前考生需对选项（colleagues、husband and wife、employer and employee、mother and son）提前作好预测原文内容的信息词汇准备。这题需掌握对话双方的特殊身份语言及口气：原文中“扩大我的词汇量”明显提示说话者是学生，根据女士的话及含有教训的口气“不记得你作的保证？”可推知其身份为家长，所以两者的关系应为母子。选择D。

【例2】2001.6

W: I heard you got full marks in the maths exam. Congratulations!

M: Thanks! I’m sure you also did a good job.

Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?

A) A math teacher and his colleague B) A teacher and his student

C) A student and his classmate D) A librarian and a student

【解析】通过选项可以断定原文内容是发生在学校里，留意对话双方的口气线索尤为重要。女士说她听说男士在数学考试中得了满分，男士说“you also did a good job.”指的是女士考得也不错，抓住关键提示词“also”，便可判断其关系是同学。答案为C。

1. A) Shop assistant and customer B) Waitress and customer

C) Employee and manager D) Boss and employee

2. A) Lawyer and client B) Boss and secretary

D. s) Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph. D. s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless. The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph. D. requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates. Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was

In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones. RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空)industry, has recommended that all airlines ban(禁止)such devices from being used during “critical”stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights. The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable(易受损的)to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio system in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud. Q: It can be inferred from the passage that the author . A) is in favor of prohibiting passengers’use of electronic devices completely B) has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference C) hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problem

The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label: "Store in the refrigerator." In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, 1 was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher (肉商), the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meatwould last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country. The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling... What refrigeration did promote was marketing --- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price. Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge. 1 / 4

大学英语四级阅读理解（1）We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every
