聽力考點(diǎn)面面觀
近幾年的高考英語聽力考試大都采用3個(gè)選項(xiàng)、長短10段對話或獨(dú)白、20道小題的模式。影響學(xué)生聽力測試的因素很多,如:播音速度、學(xué)生素質(zhì)、環(huán)境影響等,但主要因素是學(xué)生自身。學(xué)生自身的素質(zhì)包括:聽力技巧、知識底蘊(yùn)、反映能力等,我們在教學(xué)中應(yīng)當(dāng)努力提高學(xué)生的自身素質(zhì),在反復(fù)訓(xùn)練的過程中不斷提高聽力技巧,增加知識儲備,增強(qiáng)反映能力,要想達(dá)到這一目的,研究一下高考聽力試題很有必要。究竟高考聽力考什么知識點(diǎn)?怎樣設(shè)計(jì)考點(diǎn)?筆者列出點(diǎn)點(diǎn),僅供參考。
一、 考主旨要義。
聽一段對話或一段獨(dú)白,要求考生判斷對話或獨(dú)白的中心思想。這樣的題目要求考生聽懂對話或獨(dú)白的大意,抓住對話或獨(dú)白的“who”、“what”、“when ”、“where”、“how”等關(guān)鍵語句。如:錄音:

這樣的考題要求考生對所聽到的信息加以判斷,所聽到的信息與試卷上所給的信息表達(dá)方式不同,要求學(xué)生做出判斷。做出判斷時(shí)應(yīng)注意的問題:
1.用不同的表達(dá)方式表達(dá)相同的意思,對話中或獨(dú)白中用一種表達(dá)方式,而在考題中用另外一種表達(dá)方式,這就要求學(xué)生在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中多積累同一意思不同表達(dá)的知識點(diǎn)。例如:錄音:
M: I don’t think your hat matches your dress .
W: But I like its style .
考題: What does the man think about the woman’s hat ?
A. It’s very good . B. It doesn’t go well with her dress . C. He likes the style .

2.正話反說。對話中用肯定的方式表達(dá)出來,而考題中用否定的方式表達(dá)。或者,對話中用否定的方式表達(dá)出來,而考題中用肯定的方式表達(dá)。例如:錄音:Kate was out when Joe called at her office this morning .
考題:Which sentence has the same meaning as the one you hear ?
