2017年9月公共英语考试三级听力专项指导（1）

　　考生在备考长对话时，可参考以下几点技巧：

　　1. 长对话出题的顺序和文章的顺序一致，因此在听力开始前应当充分利用空隙时间迅速浏览四个选项，了解对话大意，做到有的放矢。

　　2. 和听力短文非常相似，长对话在文章开始时就点明文章大意，而且考题中也会考查文章的主题，因此考生在考试时应当集中注意力抓住主题。

　　3. 点明主题后，随后的部分围绕这一主题展开，每个方面的论述类似短对话的问答形式，考试的重点往往落在回答中，因此考生如果能掌握短对话各种题型特点和应试技巧，那么对这类题目就会轻车熟路了。

　　4. 长对话内容比较，题量也比较大，因此适当地做些笔记是非常有必要的。

　　一、 学会听前读选项预测内容

　　对待选项应采取快速阅读的方法，一定要避免逐词阅读，否则就不可能在听录音前看完选项。选项的长短、繁简不一，具体处理方法也要有所不同。选项都比较短时，可采用扫视法。扫读选项，大体了叫内容。当选项较长时，可分两步处理：第一步，纵观全文，以发现其共同成分;第二步，采用竖读方法，着重看区别。选项(尤其是较长的选项)之间往往有相同的内容。

　　Questions 1～4：

　　M：I think we’d better go over my schedule, Irene. I’m going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I’ll be visiting a number of countries, I’d like you to make the bookings.

　　W：Right, Mr. Buck. I’ll take down the details.

　　M：Well, I’m leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I’m going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there’s a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening.

　　W：Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then?

　　M：I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We’ re going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland.

　　W：So when are you leaving for Paris?

　　M：First flight on Saturday morning. I’m planning to meet my wife there. She’s going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we’ll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr. Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I’ll need a double room.

　　W：How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr. Buck?

　　M：Only till Monday evening. I’m going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I’m due in Madrid to inspect the new factory.

　　W：And that’s the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly form Madrid?

　　M：Yes, on the first plane out on Thursday. We must be back on Friday, the 25th. It’s my daughter Sharon’s birthday.

　　答案：1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A
