实用英语听力训练

英语听力训练三部曲

一 . 听说训练中应注意几个问题

1.注意区分语音、语调 在英语里有不少读音相近，但意思却截然不同的词汇，象 cure[kjue]( 医愈 ) 和 kill[kill]( 杀死 ),menu( 菜单 ) 和 manure( 肥料 ) 等。设想如果有一个医生想说 :I'll cure you.( 我要治好你的病。 ) 却因发音不好 , 说成 :I'll kill you.( 我要杀死你。 ) 那病人会吓成什么样子。又比如 , 有人对你说 : I am thirty.My wife is thirty,too. 而你听到的却是 : I am dirty. My wife is dirty,too. 你一定会莫名其妙。实际上 , 所差之外就是一个音素。因此 , 我们从一开始就要注意区分和模仿正确的语音、语调，这样进行听力训练才能取得应有的效果。

2.创造一定的听、说环境 语言的学习重在应用，应用在交流中实现，因此环境对于语言学习的作用举足轻重。如果没有良好的语言环境，学到的语言技能得不到应用，就会显得生涩，且记忆不牢固。对于国内中学生来说，语言环境可遇不可求，那些没有语言环境的同学可以利用录音机，把课文、对话或成品磁带录制下来反复听和模仿，还可以把自己的口头作文和复述录下来，仔细审听，发现问题，及时纠正。但是，在自然条件下，听与说是不能分的。一个人听的过程实际是另一个人说的过程。如果有条件的话，能把自学的伙伴组织起来，定期开展会话活动，或利用社会上，公园中提供的 外语之角 等条件，既练了说，又练了听，在实际的语言环境中练习，才能取得长足的进 步。

3.要有不怕错的精神 练习听、说的过程中难免出错，特别是成年人，往往因害怕听错、说错，不敢张口练习。然而，语言是一种习惯，没有反复的应用难以产生熟练的技巧。会话重在达意，只要达到交流的目的，这种听、说实践就应该说是基本成功的。出了错，注意总结经验，自学改正就是了。

二.高考阶段听力训练

高中英语仍属基础学习阶段。主要任务是扩大，加深和巩固入门阶段所学成果，可以从以下几方面进行训练习：

1) 听句型练习和小故事：这一阶段要注意通过时间较长，难度较大，语言现象较复杂的听力材料来解决语音、词汇和语法这三方面的问题。如果采用难度级别较低的句型练习材料，就要加大单位时间听力材料的数量，并争取在回答或重复时提高自己的准确度。总之，应在材料难度及反应速度方面下功夫。在听小故事方面可听《如此故事》(WHAT A STORY)一类的成品录音带。其特点是在录制故事时，有意识地安排了好几个人插话，提问，以中断某人叙述的方式来进行 一些意见交流，这也可算作情景对话，得同简单的问答式对话大不相同，它更接近真实生活，也更自然。

2)选听各种报告录音，扩大听的内容：为了扩大词汇，并逐步适应不同口音和年龄的讲话，可以选听一些浅易的英美历史、地理、风俗人情的报告。英美人士访华印象的讲话也是很好的内容。这些讲话一般以半小时左右为宜，既增长知识又提高听力。

3)收听电台对外广播：电台的英语涉及政治、经济、文化等各方面内容，语言比较规范，播音员语音、语调又是楷模，因此听英语广播是学习英语的极好途径。例如北京电台(Radil Beijing)。听时要摸索新闻广播的一般规律，注意培养听新闻的一些基本技巧和方法。如果一开始感到困难，可以采取以下两个辅助办法， 即在听广播之前阅读《中国日报》 (CHINA DAILY) 或《 新华电讯稿》 (XIN-HUA NEWS BULLETIN) 等有关文章。这样，在内容和词汇有一定准备的情况下，听英语广播就会容易得多 。另外，可以把新闻和评论录制下来，反复精听，逐句推敲。在这一阶段，还应进行听说配合的群练，做口头作文等等 , 并开展力所能及的讨论。

英语听力原文

Carla: So, how are things going, Steve?

Steve: Well, to be honest Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I'd get better, but I feel worse than before. And I'm really worried because I'm scheduled to give a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.

Carla: Well, what seems to be the problem?

Steve: Well, I thought I had the flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I'm supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn't seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I'm so busy these days.

Carla: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.

Steve: Oh, no thanks.

Carla: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom's herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You'll be up and dancing around in no time.

Steve: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.

Carla: Great. I'll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.
