Question

9．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，you are communicating quite fluently，but：Listening is STILL a problem!First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible．The first step is to find listening resources．The Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated （懊惱） by limited understanding．What should you do？
Here is some of the advice I give my students：
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand-even if you continue not to understand for a long time．
●Do not translate what you hear into your native language．
●Listen for the general idea of the conversation．Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas．
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany．In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually resulted in confusion．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two very important facts．Firstly，translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．By remaining calm，I noticed that-even if I didn't pay much attention，I could usually understand what the speaker had said．
55．The best way to improve our listening is toB．
A．practise as much as possible
B．find as many listening resources as possible
C．use the Internet like a radio station
D．speak naturally and read as much as possible
56．Which of the following is a good habit when listening？B

C．Pay much attention to details．
D．Translate each word in your mind．
57．Why did the writer mention his/her experience in Germany？C
A．To prove the importance of translating．
B．To show the problems of speaking a foreign language．
C．To tell us the importance of staying calm．
D．To point out an ineffective method of listening．
58．The underlined part"a wall"in the last paragraph refers to"A"．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，主要講了在學(xué)習(xí)語言時聽力的重要性及如何提高聽力能力．

解答 55-58．BBCA
55題答案：B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)第一段的The first step is to find listening resources．（第一步是要找到聽力資源）．故本題答案為B選項(xiàng)．
56題答案：B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章中的Listen for the general idea of the conversation．（聽對話的大意）．可知本題答案為B選項(xiàng)．
57題答案：C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章最后一句的By remaining calm，I noticed that-even if I didn't pay much attention，I could usually understand what the speaker had said．通過保持冷靜，我注意到即使我不能很注意但是我通常能明白說話者所說的內(nèi)容．可知作者提及自己在德國的經(jīng)歷目的是為了告訴我們"保持冷靜的重要性"，故本題答案為C選項(xiàng)．
58題答案：A考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)前面的In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually resulted in confusion．剛開始當(dāng)我不懂一個單詞的時候我堅(jiān)持在腦海中翻譯，這種方法真的造成了困擾．可知a wall指的是"交流障礙"，故本題答案為A選項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案．
