CET-4 and CET-6 are basically the same, but the difficulty of CET-6 is slightly increased, which is reflected in the large vocabulary. The requirements of the syllabus for CET-4 listening are: familiarity with the main idea, simple sentence structure, basically no new words, listening materials at a speed of about 120 words per minute, understanding once, and the understanding accuracy rate is not less than 70%. Listening is the focus of the exam, and it is also the weakness of China students. Therefore, mastering CET-4 listening skills is very important for passing the exam. CET-4 listening questions 1. Paragraph A (conversational): The topics are basically common topics in daily life and school life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. 2. paragraph b (essay comprehension questions): paragraph b generally consists of three essays, each about 150- 170. Read it only once, and then let the candidates choose three or four questions, mainly to test the candidates' discourse memory and overall listening comprehension ability. Listening test skills of CET-4 1. Test Skills 1) Read the introduction of the comprehension questions and the quick browsing options of the example time before the dialogue officially begins, so as to be aware of it. 2) Master specific sentence patterns: British and American people often use euphemisms to express their suggestions or requests to others. Fortunately, this kind of topic English has a relatively fixed syntactic structure, which can be summarized as follows: a. Common sentence patterns for expressing suggestions: If I were you, I would-we should-why don't you-? How about-? The sentence patterns that express the request are: Would you like to/Can you tell me-? I don't know if you-I will agree with you very much. If you-C. Negative sentences in this kind of questions, the most important clue is to grasp negative keywords. It is worth noting that such problems generally do not appear in an obvious negative way, and candidates need to pay more attention. The key to negation is: negative adverbs and adjectives: hardy, rare, little, keys, never, never, etc. Negative pronouns and conjunctions: nothing, nobody, never, not, none, etc. Negative prefixes and negative suffixes: im-, un-, dis-, non-, less, etc. Other negative words: fail, miss, avoid, deny, refuse, doubt, stay away, any but, substitute, not, etc. 1. Browse quickly and slim down the original text. Due to time constraints, candidates are advised to finish their composition within 25 minutes, and the rest time is reserved for fast reading. However, even so, for some candidates, time is still not enough, so candidates must consider the "slimming plan" when browsing the full text, that is, read carefully what should be read carefully, skim what should be skimmed and skip what should be skipped. You can browse the shaded part of the text quickly or temporarily, and read the underlined part carefully. 2. Use the title to predict the content. When time is tight, you can browse the headlines and paragraph subheadings directly, predict the general content of the article, and then answer the questions directly. 3. Right and wrong judgment, topic description In order to facilitate quick judgment, readers can divide every sentence of right and wrong judgment into two parts: topic (the object discussed in the sentence) and topic description (the description or evaluation of the object), so that they can directly compare whether it is right or wrong or whether the article has been given from the topic and topic description. 4. Fill in the blanks in the sentences. The key to locating the fill-in-the-blank question is to locate the position of the answer. After positioning, the focus is on verifying the grammatical features of the blank part, that is, whether the blank needs nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs, and then verifying the tense voice according to the context. In addition, we should pay attention to negative forms and positive meaning structures, such as: I can't agree with you anymore. This sentence is equivalent to: I totally agree with you. D. identities and relational questions: in section a, identities and relational questions will appear in almost every exam. Candidates can judge by grasping key characteristic words. Common interpersonal relationships in CET-4 listening are: teachers and students, librarians and students, shop assistants and customers, doctors and patients. Waiters (waitresses) and customers. Place and place: This kind of question is also relatively simple in the dialogue of listening questions. Candidates only need to master the prepositional phrases indicating the location and orientation, and grasp the key scene features to identify the location where the dialogue takes place. When you hear the word boarding, you think of the airport. Number and time question type: This is the simplest question type in paragraph A. Candidates can answer correctly as long as they browse the options in advance and pay attention to the numbers or time in the dialogue after a little calculation and analysis. Therefore, candidates must grasp this sub-topic. 2. Test-taking skills of comprehension questions: This part is the most difficult part of listening questions. There is a large amount of information and a variety of subjects, which is often difficult for candidates to grasp. In the process of listening, candidates should not only understand and master the central idea, but also remember some important facts and data. There are generally the following forms of questioning in listening essays: a. Central idea induction questions: Candidates are required to have a general understanding of the important contents of the essays. For most candidates, it is not difficult to grasp the main idea of the article. Such questions are usually asked in the following ways: What is the central idea of the article? /What can we learn from this article? /Which of the following can be the title of this article? B. Important facts and details: This kind of questions usually ask questions about important or key information involved in the article in the form of questions. The key to doing this kind of questions well is to grasp the key details in the article and pay attention to develop the habit of listening and recording, so as not to forget after listening. In addition, browse options in advance and make predictions. C. True or false: This kind of topic often uses the following forms of questioning: According to the article, which of the following is true/false? Which of the following is not mentioned? When candidates see this kind of questions, on the one hand, they should fully grasp the information in the full text, on the other hand, they should pay attention to the meaning of the questions and find out whether there is the word not. Generally speaking, the word not is stressed. D. word explanation questions: this kind of questions requires candidates to explain a key word in the article or guess new words. Generally, such words will be explained in the relevant position in the material. Sometimes this word is explained by synonyms, and sometimes the previous word is explained by commas and dashes. Candidates can also use the prefix and suffix of words to judge the meaning of words. Other precautions: eliminate tension and overcome psychological barriers. When you come across a new word or a word that you can't remember at the moment, don't focus on the word and continue to listen to the rest of the material. The law of reading comprehension proposition: 1, comprehensive reasoning judgment questions often focus on the requirements of the article, summarize the topic sentences in the beginning, end and paragraph of the article, and infer the theme of the full text from it. 2. Conjunction inference can also be carried out around several paragraphs of the article, requiring inference and judgment of the relationship between paragraphs. 3. The details of supporting topics are often tested. These details can be expressed in various forms, such as enumeration, examples, judgment of experimental figures, etc. And ask candidates to judge and reason about this part. 4. At the beginning of an article or a paragraph, especially at the end of the article, the examination is often held. 5. Semantic turning point, you often test: 1. If you infer a paragraph, you only need to look at the paragraph required by the stem. 2. If the wording of the option is too absolute, it is generally not the answer. 3. Reasonable, meaningful, or common sense options are generally answers. Copying the original text or giving a literal explanation is not an answer. 4. Find out the meaning of the theme. When dealing with questions related to the theme of the full text, or dealing with inferences related to the beginning and end of the article, we must slow down to understand the meaning of each paragraph, especially the beginning and end of the full text, and then read other parts quickly. 5. Characteristics of interference items in logical reasoning questions: (1) Infer opinions on the basis of article facts or context (sentence) logic. (2) Although reasoning can be based on the facts or internal logic provided by the article, it is too inferential and too general. Speed reading 1.
