1、1、缺乏學習計劃，沒有經過相對長期的精心準備，若想一次通過，對大部分學生而言，需要六個月以上的時間。2、復習的材料過于陳舊和簡單，不應該只是著眼于往年真題的練習，可以找一些比四級考試偏難的題目去做，如六級，或托福，多看些原版電影。 3、沒有真正的把握技巧，投機取巧的心理反而被技巧誤導，技巧是建立在熟練和一定實力的基礎之上。4、在課堂上過分依賴于老師，自己學習的主動性太差，英語不僅僅是教出來的，也是自己學出來的。5、缺乏反思的能力，對自己的常見錯誤沒有進行歸納和總結，所以錯誤的東西一直在延續。英語學習和英語考試都是有規律和技巧可循的，只要用心，四級考試還是非常簡單的！掌握考點詞，四級常考詞一共只

30、怎么樣withrespectto如果.將怎么樣 withregardto關于,至于withoutquestion關于,至于, withtheexceptionof除.之外withoutquestion毫無疑問 wordforword逐字的 考試結構：Section A：10 short conversations 復習的重點Section B：最可能考三個段子（3 passages）。其次，有可能考復合式聽寫（Compound Dictation）或聽寫填空（Spot Dictation）。提高聽力的步驟：第一步，聽懂考題；第二步，總結考題規律；第三步，了解考試本身，做類型題。短對話題型分類：

31、Section A考題為六種題型。無論每個考題的具體內容是什么，考題的題型總在重復。我們要培養解類型題的能力。比如在態度方向題中，每個考題的內容肯定不同。但題型高度一致，解題的方向也必然相同。如：Would you go to dance with me tonight?第二人的回答只有兩種Yes或No。我們要聽的是第二個人的態度方向。這個題問去跳舞嗎？而另外的一個完全不同的考題可能會問去看電影嗎？去音樂會嗎？去野餐嗎？去看比賽嗎？這些不同的考題在我們的耳朵里就應該是同一類考題。我們要聽的是：他在問去還是不去？第二人要回答Yes還是No。而解題點即正確選項一定就在第二人的回答的開頭。聽力范圍：

32、Campus life考察對象：College students（在什么都沒聽清的情況下，異性猜classmate，同性猜roommate）一、語音問題：連讀小練習1. rush hour 高峰時間，尖峰時刻；2. cheer up 使振奮，使高興；3. check (it) out 借書；辦理出院手續；徹底檢查；退房（check in 開房）；4. travel agent 旅行社（travel agency, travel bureau）；financial aid 經濟資助；5. turn down 關掉，拒絕；turn on 打開二、口語問題：注意語氣，語調，語匯。例如：1. tape

33、 膠帶；cassette 磁帶。2. project 作業（homework, assignment）；工程；項目；計劃；任務。3. awful 糟糕的；terrific 特別棒的，好極了（口語中）；可怕的，恐怖的（閱讀中）。4. I can tell that. 我能看得出。5. I understand that. 我聽說。6. I have got this one. have= have got have to= have got to (gotta)7. must 在口語中表猜測8. Ill take this one. 我要買這個。9. I wont buy that. = I w

34、ont believe that. 我才不信呢。10. He was my boyfriend.三、考題內容：生活情景，場景會話場景題：如何出考題；判斷場景的線索詞。比如：book，校內library；校外book store（線索詞manager, order）.四、解題思路比如：交通：traffic jam車：break down題目分析：Section A為重點（主要為三種題型）but題型：but以后是重點。這類考題的回答都是：Id love to, Id like to, Sounds great, Sounds a lot of fun but 注：be sold out 售光了 w

35、ear out 穿破了； be worn out （指東西）破舊；（指人）非常疲憊check out 借書；出院；徹底檢查；退房 figure out 想清楚，弄明白；figure 數字；體形work out 想清楚，弄明白，解決問題；（gym）拼命鍛煉make out 分辨出，辨認出help out 幫個大忙hang out 到處閑逛dine out 外出吃飯cook out 野餐 turn out 事實證明注：1. 一句話后面加一個小尾巴，都是反義疑問句。核心是陳述句。2. sth. doesnt agree with sb. 指某人不適應某種情況。悲慘原則：第一個人說一件事情，第二個人回

36、答聽不清或一點都沒聽到，一定有麻煩，回答多半是抱怨。比如：談論買東西肯定買不到，談論訂房肯定訂完了，談論交通肯定擁擠，談論車肯定壞掉，談論考試肯定不及格，談論野餐肯定下雨。解題思路：第一類，有關學習的考題基于學生身份去猜題。關于考試：考試難，時間緊，能否延期。作業難做。論文沒做完。選課多。對老師評價：講課boring，老師strict，作業多。She is one in a million. 當老師要退休的時候對老師的評價才會高。第二類，生活。學生窮poor，要省錢。時時帶著學生證。購物時一定要bargin。雜志不訂應該去圖書館讀，如：A: Maybe I oughtta subscribe（

37、捐獻，訂購） to the magazine. B: Why dont you save the money and read it in the library?。在家看比賽沒錢買票。第三類，學生忙，當話題中既包含學習又包含娛樂時體現學生忙，一定選擇學習方面。注：1. gas station 加油站。2. 口語中的縮略：gas station = gasoline station 生活中也可說成 filling station。gym = gymnasium 健身房dorm = dormitory 宿舍lab = laboratory 實驗室（secretary 秘書）ad = advert

38、isement 廣告exhibit= exhibition 展覽 （場景：博物館museum）ob = obvious 明顯的vet = veterinarian 獸醫3. 發音 /v/ /w/ very, visit, well, very well/A/ gas, lab, ad, badWe really had a bad time last night, you shouldve been there.復習解題思路：1、有關學習的話題基于學生身份去猜題。2、有關生活的話題基于窮人的角度出發。出現新課程，新活動，學生感興趣的原因“省時間”或者“省錢”。3、如果以上兩點出現矛盾，則體現學

39、生忙，忙于學習。場景題：1、出題思路，解題思路。2、判斷該場景的線索詞。3、選項的四個特點：(1) 四個選項全是介詞結構；(2) 全是to do結構；(3) 全是doing結構；(4) 全是A and B結構（人物關系題）。4、問題的特點：最常用的四個提問詞：What? Where? When? Who?考題類型：1. but題型占1/3；2. 場景題型占1/3；3. 替換題型1/3。作業話題：1、paper 論文：（1）paper 常用詞義：paper 論文；newspaper 報紙；papers 文件；paper 紙（2）research 查詢資料。對應場景library圖書館。（3）寫論

40、文的步驟：第一步，選題topic，選題難，范圍廣。第二步，查詢資料research，圖書館場景。第三步，打出論文。typewriter 打字機，computer 計算機，printer 打印機，laser printer 激光打印機，laptop 筆記本電腦。論文沒打完，typewriter/computer壞了break down 或者typewriter需要新的ribbon。（4）題目難選，資料難查，打字困難（機房總被占）。獎學金：fellowship；RA 助研：research assistant；TA 助教：teaching assistant2、presentation 口頭演講，

41、口頭報告：（1）同義詞：report, speech, address。（2）考點：I. 著裝正式 formal clothes（考試中另一個考到著裝正式的考點是interview面試），會出現change。II. 演講人的內心感受：nervous緊張的。3、reading assignment 閱讀作業：文科學生reading list讀書清單。抱怨需要讀的書多。吃：（校內、校外）校內：飯堂cafeteria（不好吃）校外：restaurant有waiter, menu, order, reserve a table, make a reservationapple pie 蘋果派（好吃）可

42、以代表traditional American，比如：This picnic is as American as apple pie. John is as American as apple pie.apple pie virtue = traditional American virtue在考題中形容apple pie好吃的句子舉例如下：(1) Even my mothers cant match this.(2) I took the last one, and it was out of the world.(3) You wouldnt have to force me to tak

43、e another helping.注：1. A and B結構，考人物關系 2. 選項B非主流，應排除。 3. fine 罰款。pay the fine, check the fine考試中涉及到fine罰款的兩個場景：（1）交通traffic: break traffic rules, speeding。（2）圖書館library：過期罰款。注：1. rewrite 重寫，改寫2. upset 從考試痛苦可猜想該選項；modest 從西方文化可直接排除該選項。東西方文化差異：1、西方人不謙虛。一般都self-confidence。2、西方人崇尚個人奮斗。借錢肯定不借；借筆記一般也不成；對錢

44、看的很重，很敏感。3、西方人表達直接。注：1. transfer 轉機，換車2. board 登上（交通工具）機場場景：1、票已售完。2、接人晚點。3、送人傷感。機場線索詞：airplane 飛機；flight 航班；take off 起飛；land 降落；circle 盤旋；wing 機翼，側面建筑（常用），雞翅；terminal 候機大廳，終端（常用），終點站交通話題：1、交通堵塞：traffic jam, back up, heavy2、交通違章：要罰款3、交通晚點：behind schedule注：gas 汽油打電話場景：1、約人約不到：make an appointment 主要指約

45、醫生2、約會去不了：come up, reschedule, fit sb. in3、電話打不通，打錯了：run out of coin, cut off（被中斷；hang up 主動掛斷）相關詞匯：receiver 聽筒 hook 鉤slot 投幣孔dial 撥號telephone book = yellow pages 電話簿（yellow press 黃色出版物）醫院場景：1、醫生難找。2、病情如何。3、有病耽誤課。miss the class 缺課缺課的原因：(1) 生病get ill(2) 睡過了頭over sleep(3) 交通問題，車壞了等。醫院場景常用線索詞：治療 treat（

46、過程）；治愈 cure（結果）【study 表過程；learn 表結果。search 表過程；find 表結果。try 表過程；manage 表結果】學校醫務室 infirmary學生健康中心 students health center醫療中心 medical center診所 clinic病房 ward開處方 prescribe；處方 n. prescription；按方抓藥 fill the prescription；還按原方抓藥 refill the prescription急診室 emergency department嘔吐 vomit購物場景：1、超市supermarket：購買生

47、活用品 supplies（便宜）2、百貨公司department store：服裝；家用電器 appliance（貴）注：1. 反義疑問句，表達陳述觀點。 2. must表猜測熟詞的多種用法：run into sb. = happen to sb. 碰巧碰到某人My nose has been running the whole morning. 整個早上我都在流鼻涕。run it down to me = tell me the whole story 告訴我，娓娓道來Ive got the runs. 拉肚子機場場景：1、票已售完。2、接人晚點。3、送人傷感。注：Madam：女士，夫人（較

48、正式）； Maam 口語中常用注：1. receptionist 前臺，接待員2. air hostess 空姐3. shop assistant 售貨員4. blanket 毛毯，毯子。carpet 地毯。rug 小地毯5. take-off 起飛；脫衣服。注：1. How are you doing? 普通打招呼How are you feeling? 用于對方生病時打招呼2. out of bed 離開床了生病場景：1、醫生難找2、病情如何3、有病耽誤課注：1. breakfast 的構詞法：break 打破 + fast 禁食 = breakfast 早餐brunch 早午餐2. fr

49、uit juice 果汁。orange juice 橘子汁。lemonade 檸檬汁。3. be used to doing sth. 習慣于。 選項中一般有 be accustomed to do sth. 或 adapt 替換。used to do 過去常常。選項中一般有 was always 或 not now 表現在不做。聽力時注意doing和do的區別來區分兩種題型。4. allergy 敏感癥。 be allergic to （生理上的過敏）對什么過敏；不喜歡sensitive （心理上的過敏）敏感的I have sth. allergy. 我對過敏。第一章 聽力對話部分一、聽力技
