2013年12月英语四级听力短对话的技巧：留意选项中的要点内容
留意选项中的要点内容
正确选项往往与原文相似，或是原文的同义表达，因此应注意提取选项中的关键点，在听音时留意其是否在文中出现并加以记录。
【例4】(710分样卷-25)
【预览选项】
[A] Inadequate medical care.
[B] Continuing social unrest.
[C] Lack of food, water and shelter.
[D] Rapid spreading of the epidemic
【边听边记】
W: … what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country.
25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?
【答案解析】
选[C]。细节题。四个选项中只有[C]项内容在对话中出现，其他三项均未涉及到，故只要抓住对话中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分内容，即可判断答案为[C]。starvation意为“饥饿”。
五、留意数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等相关信息
遇到数字、人名、地名、时间、年代时要对相关信息做简要记录，尤其是选项中出现类似的概念时，在听音时更应重点留意。
【例5】(710分样卷-24)
【预览选项】
[A] Late in the morning.
[B] Early in the afternoon.
[C] Sometime before dawn.
[D] Shortly after sunrise. 【边听边记】
M: … Rebel forces are closing in, and it’s feared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?
【答案解析】
选[C]。细节题。根据原文中…it’s feared that they will …before daybreak.可知，当时报道的时间应该是在before daybreak(黎明破晓前)。dawn相当于daybreak。
