三、Section C

Section C是听写填空(Passage)。要求学生听完一段短文之后,根据所听到的内容,将短文中的5个空格处缺少的单词或短语准确无误地填写出来。短文读两遍,第一遍为正常语速,第二遍有空格的句子后会有停顿,以便填写空缺的单词。这类试题考查考生听力理解和书面表达的能力,较好地反映应试者听音辨音、听音理解及书写的技能。在解答本部分内容时,考生应按照以下步骤进行:

1.浏览材料、把握大意、预测答案。在听力录音资料尚未开始播放前,或者在播放考试指令的时间快速浏览整篇短文,利用试卷上所给的文字材料,尽量了解短文涉及的内容,预测每个空格应填入的词。

2.只听不写、关注空格、留下提示。第一遍听音时只听不写,集中注意力听懂全篇文章的内容,寻找空格相对应的关键词,一旦听清音、意,应留下适当的记号以作提示。

3.注重细节、准确书写、检查核对。第二遍听音时要根据听音内容和语速,在放音过程的停顿处快速写下有关内容,此时要注重细节,保证书写单词的准确性。注意通过音、意、形三者的联想、思维和判定,确定所填词的正确形式。

4.当放音结束后,检查所填入的词是否使句子和短文的意思顺理成章,所填的词形是否符合语法要求。由于录音的语速较快,加上朗读时连读、爆破等吞音现象,往往词尾的音听不清楚,此时可以根据短文语法结构的分析来确定名词的单、复数形式,形容词或副词是否属于比较级,以及动词的形式和时态等。还要注意书面整洁和大写小写等问题。

1.【答案】inviting

【解析】从句子结构上看,缺实义动词,从语音上分析是invite,但前面有now,所以要用进行时,invite去e加ing。

2.【答案】boarding pass

【解析】句子中有个and,后面identification是证件的意思,是名词,那么前面空格所填的词要与identification并列,应该也是个名词。从语音分析是“boarding pass”(登机牌)。

3.【答案】Gate 3

【解析】proceed to是向某一方向前进,移动的意思,是飞机场广播常用语。整句话意思:请速到3号登机口。

4.【答案】completed

【解析】从语音分析是complete,但从句子语法结构分析,“are being completed”是现在进行时的被动语态,所以要用过去分词,直接加d。

5.【答案】repeat

【解析】句子结构简单,主语加谓语,句子缺个谓语动词。后面的那句话与本段第1句话重复,再通过语音分析,所以填repeat。

典型考题2

How great it is to see so many of you come and join us in celebrating the 15th anniversary of our travel magazine.From the bottom of 1._____________,we thank you for being here.A little more than fifteen years ago,we were sitting at our regular jobs,2.______________how we saw our future,when we came up with the idea of joining our two hobbies,traveling and writing.We never imagined that out tiny dream would 3.______________so soon.There were many special people who joined us and made it 4._____________to create the name that we have today.To all those people and those who joined us in our journey,I should say thank you again.5._____________your efforts we would never have been here.

参考译文:

非常高兴能看到这么多人来参加我们旅行杂志15周年庆典。我们衷心感谢您的到来。15年前,我们坐在我们的固定工作岗位上,讨论如何看待自己的未来,当我们想出加入我们的两个爱好——旅行和写作的想法时,我们从来没有想到过这么小的梦想会这么快实现。有许多特殊的人加入我们,使我们有可能创造出我们今天的名字(品牌)。对所有那些人和那些参加我们旅程的人来说,我应该再次感谢你们。没有你的努力,我们就不会来到这里。

1.【答案】our hearts

【解析】of是个介词,需要一个名词搭配成介词短语。从语音分析是heart。句子主语是we,所以对应用our修饰heart,heart需要复数形式。注意hearts复数的音不容易听出,要学会语法分析来修正错误。

2.【答案】discussing

【解析】从语音分析是discuss,从句子结构看,“discussing how we saw our future”是和前面分句“we were sitting at our regular jobs”是并列成分,所以都用ing结构。

3.【答案】come true

【解析】would后面用动词原形。dream通常跟come true搭配。

4.【答案】possible

【解析】“make it possible to do sth.”让做什么事成为可能。“make it possible to do”真正的结构其实是“make to do sth possible”,to do是动词的不定式结构,是具有名词性功能的。英语这样表达有“头重脚轻”的感觉,所以用it指代它,并把它放在后面。

5.【答案】Without

【解析】根据句子结构,空格所填的词与your efforts在句子中作状语,从语音分析是without,注意单词放在句首要首字母大写。

典型考题3

When you talk with new friends,usually there are 1.______________in the conversation.The first part is greeting.In this part,you and your new friend will greet each other and tell each other your names or 2._____________name cards.The second part is the conversation itself.Sometimes the conversation is just 3._____________.That is,you talk about unimportant matters,such as the weather,sports,entertainments and other interesting things.But it's not the time for you to ask about 4.______________or unpleasant things.Sometimes the conversation is about important matters like 5.______________.The third part of the conversation is the leave-taking part.In this part,you tell your new friend that you're happy to have met him or her and then the conversation comes to the end.

参考译文:

当你与新朋友交谈时,谈话通常分三个部分。第一部分是问候,在这一部分,你和你的新朋友互相问候,告诉对方名字或者交换名片。第二部分是谈话本身。有时候就是一个简短的谈话。也就是谈论些不重要的事情,比如天气、运动、娱乐和其他有趣的事情,但不能问些私人和不愉快的事情。有时候谈话是关于一些重要的事情,像商业事务。第三部分是告别语。在这部分,你可以告诉你的新朋友,你很高兴认识他(她),然后谈话就结束了。

1.【答案】three parts

【解析】这个空可以在听力之前预测,文中有the first part,the second part,the third part,然后问对话中有什么,可以推断有three parts,注意句子用的是there are,说明后面是复数名词,不要忘了加s。

2.【答案】exchange

【解析】跟name card搭配,通常是exchange,语法分析,or连接两个并列成分,前面tell是紧跟助动词will,用动词原形,所以exchange也要用原形。

3.【答案】a small talk

【解析】a small talk一个简短的对话,注意这里的不定冠词a,通常读得很轻。

4.【答案】private

【解析】后面or连接两个并列成分,unpleasant形容词,所以空格里也应该填一个形容词。

5.【答案】business affairs

【解析】前面的important matters表示“重要事情”,like(像,比如),不是“喜欢”的意思。与之对应affairs是指重要的事情,business affair表示“商业事务”,注意affair加s。

典型考题4

Once a traveler was riding in the rain.He was wet and cold when he reached a countryinn.The inn was so 1._____________with people that he could not get near the fire.So he 2._____________to the waiter:“Take some fish to my horse.”The waiter answered:“But a horse doesn't eat fish!”The traveler then said:“3._____________,do as I tell you.”On hearing this strange order,the crowded people ran out to see a horse eat fish.The traveler now having the whole room to himself,sat down beside the fire and 4._____________himself.

When the waiter came back with the crowded people,he said:“Your horse would not eat fish.”The traveler answered:“Never mind,put it 5.______________,and when I had quite dried my clothes,I will eat it myself!”

参考译文:

从前,一个旅行者在雨中骑马赶路。当他到达一个乡村旅馆的时候,又湿又冷。旅店非常拥挤,以至于他不能靠近火堆取暖。因此他大声招呼旅店服务员:“拿些鱼给我的马。”服务员说:“但是马不吃鱼啊!”这个旅行者说:“不用担心,按我说的去做。”旅店里拥挤的人一听到这个奇怪的命令,都跑出去看马怎么吃鱼。这时,整个屋子就剩下这个旅行者,他坐在火堆边,开始烤火。

当服务员和拥挤的人们一块回来的时候,服务员对这个旅行者说:“你的马不吃鱼。”旅行者回答道:“没关系,把鱼放桌子上,等我把衣服都烘干了,我自己吃。”

1.【答案】crowded

【解析】so...that(如此……以至于……),so后面接形容词或者副词,crowd拥挤,加ed变过去分词,当形容词用。

2.【答案】called out

【解析】call out(大声喊),注意整个故事是过去时,所以call加ed。

3.【答案】Never mind

【解析】never mind(没关系,不要紧,不必担心)。这个词组放在句首,首字母大写。

4.【答案】warmed

【解析】空格前有and,因此所填的词与“sat down beside the fire”对应,sat过去式,warm作动词讲,过去式直接加ed。

5.【答案】on the table

【解析】put it(把东西放在……),空格里填一个短语,表示位置。从语音分析,为on the table,注意别忘了定冠词the。

典型考题5

Pollution has become a serious problem in almost all the big cities of the world.City people are becoming more and more worried about how they can 1._____________pollution.They are also concerned about whether the government is doing enough to 2.______________the environment.However,people in Ireland don't have these problems.They are sure that theyhave found the 3._____________the problem.They use windmills.These windmills can create power without 4._____________pollution.This method is so successful that other countries are 5._____________doing the same.Why not?What works for Ireland can work for any other country.

参考译文:

在世界上几乎所有的大城市,污染已经成为一个严重的问题。城市的人们越来越担心他们如何能消除污染。他们同样担心政府是否有足够的能力保护环境。然而,爱尔兰人却不用担心这些问题。他们确信已经找到问题的答案。他们使用风车。这些风车能发电,却不会产生污染。这个方法如此成功,以至于其他国家也正在考虑这么做。为什么不呢?爱尔兰能做到的,其他国家也可以做到。

1.【答案】get rid of

【解析】从语义分析,人们越来越担心他们如何______________污染,空格里的词意思应该类似“防止,除掉”。从语法分析,can后面接实义动词原形。get rid of“摆脱,除掉”,正好跟pollution搭配。

2.【答案】protect

【解析】do enough to足够做某事,后面接动词原形,protect the environment保护环境。

3.【答案】answer to

【解析】the answer to the problem解决问题的答案。

4.【答案】creating

【解析】create power产生能量,create pollution产生污染,without是介词,接动词需加ing,变成动名词。

5.【答案】thinking of

【解析】从语法分析,前面是are,应该是现在进行时或者被动语态,并且后面doing也是动名词,think不能直接接动名词,只能是词组。从语音分析是think of。
