六、真題分析――詳解2005年12月和2006年6月兩套六級真題
聽力部分---六級
----剖析06春季真題
隨著本次大學英語6級考試的結束,同學們的討論焦點又將集中于對題目答案以及考題難度的討論。作為上海國內考試部的聽力教師,我也全程跟聽了本次考試的聽力部分,并做了一份參考答案。和最近幾次的題目相比較,本次考試的聽力部分無論在語音,詞匯,特殊表達,涉及題材,考試技巧等方面都略顯簡單,選項也沒有什么爭議。下面就分成幾方面給大家具體分析一下。
一、 語音語調清晰明了
從去年底的考試開始,聽力部分的男聲就在清晰度上有了明顯的改善。這次仍然維持清晰的男聲,并且是美音,加大了可辨識的程度。女生維持了以往的清晰,并且英音的味道并沒有重到可以影響聽音的程度。唯一影響大一點的就是第一篇passage的第一句話Born and raised in central Ohio, I am a country girl through and through.。在英音的影響下確實很難一下反應過來。好在這句話本身也不重要所以總的來說影響也不大。
另外,第2、3、10三道題目很明顯的是在考察語氣語調。其實只需要分別聽清楚第二人最開始說的No problme!, Coffee sounds great!和You must be kidding!的語氣語調后面的話基本不需要聽,題目也可以解出來,非常的容易。
二、詞匯幾乎沒有難點
本次題目當中確實有個別的疑難或者生僻詞匯,如:freshman orientation program,idle around,physical therapist,predator,Sea Dragon,meat-eater,grasshopper,twist等。不過大家仔細分析后就可以發現,其中一些單詞或者詞組根本就不重要,比如:freshman orientation program,idle around,twist。另外一些在選項和文章中多次給與提示,比如:predator。文章中生怕大家不懂,專門給了一句話來解釋,說A pedator is an animal that hunts and eats another animal.還有一些完全可以根據文章內容和單詞本身猜測,比如:physical therapist。因為文章中多次提到有關hospital, handicap等詞語可以得知這個中心詞語應該是和medical care有關的。還有meat-eater,顧名思義就可以猜到是食肉動物的意思。最后還有一些單詞是可以當作一個整體來看待的,比如Sea Dragon,grasshopper。我們不需要去理解這些單詞的意思,只需要把他們理解成It這個單位即可。由此可見,單詞確實是聽力考試中最不重要的部分。只要巧妙的處理,單詞生疏的問題完全可以很好地克服。
三、 題材涉及仍然和生活息息相關
我們可以看到,10個短對話涉及了新生入學,換燈泡,泡咖啡,工作態度,找人,交通違規,看病,擇校,看演出。三篇passage涉及了兩篇有關教育的和一篇動物自我保護的。總的來說沒有涉及偏怪難的題材。在這些題材上我們以前總結的技巧也都是適用的。比如考前我一再強調的語氣語調,上文中提到了已經考察了3道題目。另外還有還有考察but的1、2、3、6題,根據原則可以直接得出答案。第6題聽到ticket說明違反交通規則,第10題評價演出永遠是正面的等等。另外,第4體的虛擬語氣,第7題的比較級,第10題的雙重否定等也是我再考前一再強調的考點。
關于passage,題目完全沒有亂序,工整的從文章的開頭考到結尾。其中頭尾考了6道,中間考了4道。每次遇到情景轉換的時候就會考到題目,這一點也完全符合我們所講解的技巧。另外再passage中常用到的聽到什么就選什么以及重復原則在這次考中也有著很好地體現。
四、疑難題目偏向深層理解
最后不得不提到的是本次考試的難點已經向深層理解轉化了。大家不僅要聽懂,要理解,還需要結合實際生活深入的解析。比如一道頗有爭議的短對話第5題就屬于這樣的類型,我們不妨一起分析一下。
5. M: Hello, Mary! This is Paul at the bank. Is Tony home?
W: Not yet, Paul. I dont think you can reach him at the office now either. He phoned me five minutes ago to say he was stopping for a haircut on his way home.
Q: Who do you think the woman probably is?
這到題目的爭議就在于說話的女人Mary到底是Tony的wife還是secretary。大家不妨試想一下:男人很禮貌的說This is Paul at the bank,我們就可以推斷出Paul和Mary并不是類似好朋友的關系,而是一種僅僅認識但不是很熟悉的關系。另外,Paul介紹自己在銀行工作并且要找的人不是Mary而是Tony也間接的說明他找Tony是為了公事而不是私事。所以綜上所述我們可以推斷出來Mary只能是Tony的秘書,而Paul之所以叫得出Mary的名字是因為工作的聯系,這才符合題目本身的語境。如果Mary是Tony的Wife, Paul打電話找Tony卻抓起電話就叫得出Mary的名字而且不加任何的敬語,說明Paul和Mary一定很熟悉,那為什么Paul還要多此一舉自我介紹說自己是在銀行工作呢?所以個人認為這到題目最合理的解釋應該是Mary是Tony的secretary。如果沒有深層次的理解,這到題目恐怕很難想通。至于很多同學說Paul問Mary: Is Tony home? 則表示Mary在家里,這樣說也有道理,而且這兩種情況在日常生活中都有發生。從表層觀點來看,wife確實是個相當妥帖的答案。從語言本身的邏輯來看,secretary可能顯得更加符合語境。至于正確答案是哪一項,只有等批卷老師做定鐸了。我們學習英語更多的是需要把握的是語言本身的實際應用能力,而不是死摳一道選擇題的對錯,這也是大學英語4/6級考試現在改革的方向之一。
綜上所述,本次6級題目的難度和往年基本持平,并且略有降低,沒有很突出的疑難點。只要大家平靜心態,合理發揮,應該都會取得不錯的成績。另外感覺不理想的同學也不要灰心,除了對考試技巧多加琢磨以外,更多的精力應該放在能力提高上,這樣對于今后的考試才能做到有備無患。
