W: Used batteries? What do you mean by that? Whydo we need a special dustbin for used batteries?

W: Oh, I see. Can this work? Our efforts are too insignificant.

　 　【大学英语四级听力材料】

[26/27]Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying "thank you" when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple "thank you" doesn't really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can't be truly elegant without good manners, because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. [28]Haven't you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying "thank you" like wearing a little make-up, or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself. [26]Good manners add to your image, while an angry face makes the best-dressed person look ugly.

　 　【大学英语四级听力参考答案】

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What are the two speakers doing?

正确答案：B

解析：主旨题。四个选项的话题对话中都提到了，但整个对话由新垃圾箱引出电池回收问题，并进而谈到开展环保活动，最后男士告诉女士明天有一个讲座，可以让人们更深刻地认识环境问题。选项A、D都是围绕B项内容展开，只是对话的部分内容，不能用于概括大意，故答案为B。而C错在collect。

24. What is the purpose of the "Green Movement"?

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。男士提到“绿色运动”，它是学生会主办的为期一个月的活动，旨在让更多的学生意识到环境污染的严重性。因此，答案应该是D。其他选项都是具体做法，而且不完全与该运动相关。本题答案所在的句子较长，信息量大，考查学生的基本功。考生平时应有意识地多听长句，熟悉其结构组成，考试时遇到方能得心应手。

25. What will the woman do tomorrow afternoon?

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。男士说明天下午有个讲座，如果有兴趣的话可以参加。女士回答说，明天下午正好有空，会去的，所以答案为A。符合“听到什么选什么”的原则。C是长期行为，不是明天下午要做的事。

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What is the passage mainly about?

正确答案：C

解析：主旨题。关键是要听到首尾句及核心词。第1句中作者对于“人与人之间曾经更友好、更和气的时代”的怀念和最后一句中“礼貌能提升你的形象”，都说明good manners的重要性，所以答案为C。作者建议养成说“谢谢”的习惯，而不是在讲述说“谢谢”的艺术，故A不正确;作者说“我把讲礼貌看成一种深藏不露的美丽秘诀”，并不是告诉我们保持美丽的秘密，故B不正确;文中说“优雅与礼貌是一致的”，故D不正确。

27. What does the speaker say about people of the past?

正确答案：A

解析：题目询问作者认为以前人们是怎么样的。关键是要听到文章首句：“你们记得以前那个人与人之间曾经更友好、更和气的时代吗?”其中就包含选项A中的nicer and gentler。选项B、C、D的内容文中均未提及。

28. According to the speaker, how can we best improve our image?

正确答案：B

解析：题目询问根据作者的说法，我们怎样才能最好地提升自己的形象。关键是要听到“你们没注意到最和善、最大方的人看上去越来越漂亮吗?”其中包含选项B中的kind和generous，而keep getting prettier对应题目中的improve our image。

大学英语四级考试试点考试样卷（听力文字稿）

Tape Script of Listening Comprehension

Section A

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

11. W: Simon, could you return the tools I lent you for building the bookshelf last month?

M: Uh, well, I hate to tell you this … but I can't seem to find them.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

12. W: I'm going to Martha's house. I have a paper to complete, and I need to use her computer.

M: Why don't you buy one yourself? Think how much time you could save.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

13. W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.

M: He's certainly in a position to make that comment. He's been there so often.

Q: What does the man say about Bob?

14. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month .

M: Did you fill out a request form?

Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?

15. M: Do you want to go to the lecture this weekend? I hear the guy who's going to deliver the lecture spent a year living in the rain forest.

W: Great! I'm doing a report on the rain forest. Maybe I can get some new information to add to it.

Q: What does the woman mean?

16. W: Wow! I do like this campus: all the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns . It's really beautiful.

M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the eighteenth century here.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

17. M: This article is nothing but advertising for housing developers. I don't think the houses for sale are half that good.

W: Come on, David. Why so negative? We're thinking of buying a home, aren't we? Just a trip to look at the place won't cost us much.

Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?

18. M: Would you pass me the sports section, please?

W: Sure, if you give me the classified ads and local news section.

Q: What are the speakers doing?

Now you'll hear two long conversations.

Conversation One

W: Hello, Gary. How're you?

M: Fine! And yourself?

W: Can't complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?

M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?

W: Sure. I've been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should've been installed long ago.

M: How much will that cost?

W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.

M: OK. We'll have to discuss these costs with finance.

W: We should also consider human resources. I've been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.

M: And what's the picture?

W: We'll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory.

M: What about advertising?

W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.

M: TV? Isn't that a bit too expensive for us? What's wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?

W: Quite frankly, it's just not enough anymore. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our compe*****s.

M: Will we be able to afford all this?

W: I'll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.

M: We'll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.

W: All right. I'll see to it.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

• What are the two speakers talking about?

• What does the woman say about the equipment of their factory?

• What does the woman suggest about human resources?

• Why does the woman suggest advertising on TV?

Conversation Two

W: Sir, you've been using the online catalogue for quite a while. Is there anything I can do to help you?

M: Well, I've got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I'm really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin.

W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down to something like … uh … the history of the studios during that time?

M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I typed in “movie studios.”

W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding “1930s” or “1940s” or maybe “Golden Age.”

M: “Golden Age” is a good idea. Let me type that in …. Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That's a lot better.

W: Oh … another thing you might consider … have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles?

M: No, I've only been searching for books.

W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature . And we do have the Los Angeles Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there's anything you want.

M: Okay. I think I'll get started with these books and then I'll go over the magazines.

W: If you need any help, I'll be over at the Reference Desk.

M: Great, thanks a lot.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

• What is the man doing?

• What does the librarian think of the topic the man is working on?

• Where can the man find the relevant magazine articles?

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years people won't worry about running out of gas.

Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.

Transportation in the future won't be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.

But the sky isn't the limit. In the future, you'll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you'll hear someone say, “The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed.”

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

• What will be used to power cars in the next few decades?

• What will future news reports focus on when talking about transportation?

• What is the special requirement for passengers traveling to the moon?

Passage Two

The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.

The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring. That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. Today, we know that this is not true. Yet the tradition continues.

Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party. During this time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking equipment or new clothing.

Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party.

During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be hu**and usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. The hu**and wears his ring on the third finger of his left hand.

Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man; they also return any wedding gifts they have received.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

• What was the diamond ring said to represent?

• Why did the Austrian man place the diamond ring on the third finger of the left hand of his would-be wife?

• What is the chief advantage of having the engagement period?

Passage Three

“Where is the university?” is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty-one self-governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.

Individual colleges choose their own students, who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university. Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges, where they are taught in very **all groups. Lectures, and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.

There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 postgraduates. About forty percent of them are women and some eight percent from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the 20th century more than sixty university members have won Nobel prizes.

The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than sixty specialist subject libraries, as well as the University Library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.

Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

• Why is it difficult for visitors to locate Cambridge University?

• What does the passage tell us about the colleges of Cambridge University?

• What can be learned from the passage about the libraries in Cambridge University?

• What does the passage say about women students in Cambridge University?

Section C

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Russia is the largest economic power that is not a member of the World Trade Organization. But that may change. Last Friday, the European Union said it would support Russia's (36) effort to become a W.T.O. member.

Representatives of the European Union met with Russian (37) officials in Moscow. They signed a trade agreement that took six years to (38) negotiate .

Russia called the trade agreement (39) balanced . It agreed to slowly increase fuel prices within the country. It also agreed to permit (40) competition in its communications industry and to remove some barriers to trade.

In (41) exchange for European support to join the W.T.O., Russian President Putin said that Russia would speed up the (42) process to approve the Kyoto Protocol, an international (43) environmental agreement to reduce the production of harmful industrial gases. (44) These “greenhouse gases” trap heat in the atmosphere and are blamed for changing the world's climate .

Russia had signed the Kyoto Protocol, but has not yet approved it. The agreement takes effect when it has been approved by nations that produce at least 55 percent of the world's greenhouse gases . (45) But currently, nations producing only 44 percent have approved the Protocol. Russia produces about 17 percent of the world's greenhouse gases . The United States, the world's biggest producer, withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol after President Bush took office in 2001. So, Russia's approval is required to put the Kyoto Protocol into effect.

(46) To join the W.T.O., a country must reach trade agreements with major trading countries that are also W.T.O. members . Russia must still reach agreements with China, Japan, South Korea and the United States.

英语四级听力练习资料如何选择?

1.不要选择专业术语、专有名词较多的英语四级听力材料。

专业术语之类难词、生僻词对于绝大部分同学来说不需要掌握，因此练习时可以忽略掉。而如果选择的材料中这类词汇较多的话，无疑给自己设置了很多不必要的“拦路虎”，会影响练习的流畅性，应予以避免。

2.注意语段材料的时效性，时效性越强越值得练习。

不宜听写已经过时的英语语汇内容。如一些出自名家之手的英语美文，文采固然是好，但可能是百多年前创作的作品，其中一些用词，可能现代英语中已经不用了，或者用词比较艰深晦涩，这种材料就只适合单纯欣赏，和同学平时的英语使用情况相去甚远，对大家所面临的考试更是没有针对性，不适合用来练习听写。

3.基础不佳者不宜用影视剧对白练习听写。

这类材料可能含有过多口头语或俗语，且语速非常之快，对于英语程度不扎实，听写能力有待提高的同学来说很难听懂，更别提听写了。对于面向四六级的大部分同学而言，影视剧作品是可以作为听力和口语的练习素材的，但前提是，不要直接听写，应先结合中文字幕把大意听懂，然后作为泛听材料，单纯地通过听练习一下语感，使自己在听觉上习惯地道的英语语音语调，并起到口语纠音的作用，同时听加深记忆，学习一些剧中的口语表达。

4.刚开始练习时，材料篇幅不宜过长。

篇幅过长容易导致过度疲劳，会使练习者丧失兴趣。可先从简单、短小的材料练起，循序渐进，不断体会自己的进步和成就感，这样比较合适。随着练习的深化，可慢慢地逐步接触长篇材料。

5.不推荐听收音机节目来做听写练习。

这是因为收音机里的内容不可重复，万一第一遍没有听懂，则无法反复听，做循环练习。而且，收音机里的英语内容没有录音文稿，也就意味着听完没法对答案，这对实际提高能力帮助甚微。建议使用磁带或MP3材料，这样可以根据各人需要反复聆听，且所选材料一定要配备录音文稿。

英语四级听力练习资料如何选择?小编就总结到这里了，更多关于大学英语四级备考技巧，备考干货，新闻资讯，成绩查询，英语四级准考证打印入口，准考证打印时间等内容，小编会持续更新。祝愿各位考生都能取得满意的成绩。

Passage 1

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Farmington, Utah, is a more pleasant community since a local girls' 4-H club improved Main Street. Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash. Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took terms in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot. Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they've learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pour a weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community. City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, pick-me tables, swings and public rest rooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work. The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?

27. What do the 4-H club members do about the curbside?

28. What have the 4-H girls learned from the project?

29. Why do the 4-H girls agree to follow the park project through to complete. Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. Passage 2 According to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned. Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such history books.64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.

Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage 3

Thank you for coming, everyone. Today‘s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today. Let’s start with power. It‘s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources. Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they‘ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You‘ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever. Questions

33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What is the presentation mainly about?

34. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?

大学英语4级买什么书和听力材料

你们学校附近应该有卖《星火》和《王长喜》或者封面那是大青蛙的那个这几个系列的四六级的辅导书吧~~

这三个是目前大学四六级辅导里最权威的~

首先，你要买本四级英语单词，不是一味的要你背，放在床头就好，不必每天使劲背，每天晚上睡觉之前，刚躺到床上一定睡不着，看几个单词正好困了~~

推荐，你买新东方的词根记忆那本，很容易记

其次，培养听力和语感，买本星火的四级晨读英语美文，存到MP3里，每天从寝室到教室这段路程应该可以听2篇美文，开始可能你大部分会听不懂，没关系坚持听下去，等听4-5编后对照书看，然后在听，你会发现85%都听懂了~~

预感听力OK 了

还有必须做题，开始的时候研究真题，星火 王长喜的都可以，十年的真题，都要研究透，楼上的同学说的很对，不认识的单词，挑出来，记在本子上~~背下来~真题看过后，买本模拟题，按照正规考试时间做，看看正确率，通常王长喜的比真题略难，星火的比真题略简单，你自己选择，买模拟题，一般都赠送高频词汇 （这个必须要看，因为这都是精华单词呀，不背你就傻了）押题的作文，这个也得看，不是要背，而是明白给你一个话题，你该怎么去写，开头结尾，一定要注意~应试锦囊，这个是告诉你答题的方法，简单看看既可

语法，看看高中的重要语法，足够了~语法题相对教少的~

改错 完形 翻译没有时间不必专项练习，做好真题及模拟题，应该够用了~其实都有规律的，做完10套题你自己就能总结规律了 ~

作文要被一些好的开头结尾，和连词部分，一般都没有问题的~~

另外从网上搜了一个辅导班老师讲的复习方法，你参考看下吧~

对大多数考生来说，从头复习语法、背诵单词已是“远水解不了近渴”。不过掌握一些应试技巧还是有必要的，有些看似不起眼的小细节，往往会决定考试成败。

[听力]

精听VS泛听

准备四级听力，要精听，不要泛听。这是第一个需要明确的问题：精听历年四级考题。虽然从宏观上来看，任何听力资料都是有益的，但是鉴于有限的可利用时间，复习资料的选择一定要有针对性。因为要攻克四级考试，一个与提高能力同样重要（而且简单得多）的任务是迅速地熟悉考题。但短期之内很难提高听力水平是个不争的事实，我们没有必要挑战人类大脑的生理极限。幸运的是我们的大脑在它的生理极限。内可以实现“熟能生巧”。这个变量在相同的时间内可以更大地影响结果，最直接地体现在考试分数上。虽然真题的磁带只有六，七盘，而且是考试的原速带，即每个考题之间有十五秒的间隔。这样算起来，真正的有声资源只相当于四盘磁带。但是，这四盘磁带对于我们把握四级考试的脉捕已经足够了。

[词汇]

注重积累

大学英语四级考试的词汇与结构重在对英语基础知识的考察，每次30道题，计15分。其难点在于：比例虽小，知识点却多而复杂，令大多数考生食之无味，弃之可惜。不过，掌握适当的复习方法肯定是行之有效的：

1. 精研历年真题。切勿简单的认为考过的题毫无价值可言，恰恰相反，因为四级考试是一项标准化的命题考试，某一种题型如果特别有针对性，或者其答案被多数考生选错，那就证明该题的效度和信度较高，重考的几率相对来说也就大一些。例如：90年1月42题和97年6月的33题；95年1月的49题和97年1月的36题；98年1月的42题和2000年6月的46题等等。

2. 熟悉常考的语法难点和词汇题型。这一点将在下文详细论述。

做题的关键是每一题必须能从原文中找到出处，也就是能够证明这道题正确答案的部分，千万不要凭印象。

[阅读]

把握细节，养成习惯

1．首先精研历年真题

2．重视阅读理解中的细节性问题、

3．养成适合自己的阅读习惯

4．作真题，提高考试阅读能力

[完形填空]

综合全文，着眼细节

1．对于首句应该给与足够的重视，因为往往它就是中心句或是引导句，它的时态往往决定了全文的时态，所以多花一点时间看首句是值得的。

2．然后以句子为单位一句一句地读，一句一句地填空，主要考虑语法、句意、逻辑和上下文联系。暂时填不出来的就空在那里。

3．最后通读一遍，完成没有填的空，再看看填的顺不顺，不顺的地方大胆修改。

[英译汉]

掌握原则按部就班

英译汉首先要掌握4个原则：一、翻译时既要忠实于原文，又要符合汉语的习惯；二、翻译不可太拘泥，否则很容易因死守原文语言形式而损害了原文思想内容，好的译文应该是形式与内容的统一；三、能够直译尽量不意译；四、翻译的过程应该是先理解后表达。

具体如下：首先，英文段落的首句一般为topicsentence，然后展开说明。展开的写法有多种，可分可总，可下定义，可同义重复，可以代词复指等。利用这一技巧，先通读全文，便能更好理解文章的意思，把握段与段之间的关系，在翻译时就能在上下文中确定词义，译。正确理解原文后，还要通过适当的翻译技巧用规范的汉语表达出来。这些技巧有：

（1） 增词法。根据需要增加一些词语，如名词等。

（2） 减词法。根据汉语习惯，删去一些词。

（3） 肯否表达法。原文为肯定句，译成汉语是为增强修饰效果，可以译为否定句。反之亦然。

（4） 变换法。名词译成动词或动词转译成名词等。

（5） 分合法。一个长句可分成若干部分来译，或者把原文的几个简单句用一个句子表达出来。

（6） 省略法：两种语言由于存在差异，表达时不可能总是对等，经常可以省略一些词和句子成分，如英语中的冠词汉语里没有，译时可以省略。

最后一定要核对原文是否准确、通顺，还要注意关键词的采分点。

[写作]

借助阅读善打草稿

写作文时要放松情绪，消除恐惧感，必要时可借助深呼吸来缓解紧张的心情。

试卷一、二（作文在试卷2）同时发下来，应在做完听力部分后，迅速地看一下作文题，让其在大脑中留有一席之地，这样便于在做词汇、阅读时随时发现写作可借用的词汇句型而不至于在写作时，大脑一片空白，无从下手。

一定要认真审题，弄清文章及各段主题，实现由提纲到主题句的转换。可以打一下草稿：摆事实，理清思路，从易于表达，且论证丰富的观点入手，不局限于一种看法、

一种表达法或一种句式。

具体写作时最好分段来写，各段之间空二至三行，以利于随时增减或删改。而且字迹要工整，卷面要保持清洁，给判卷人一个好印象。写完后仔细检查作文中用词、句法方面有无不准确的地方；句式有无变化；句与句之间，段与段之间有无合适的连接及过渡等．

最后，还要有一个良好的应试心态，从容面对！

单词是最重要的，六级对单词量要求很大。比较难记，而且时间也很紧张了，我觉得方法问题很重要，单纯的记单词确实很不好记忆，我建议你在做题过程中背，做模拟题，这个题不要做完了看看对错就算了，一定要每道题都分析一下，包括各种题型中的单词，不要怕自己做的题少，要把一套题做精了。

慢慢你会发现，很多词是经常出现在阅读里面的。而且4级常用的词也有个范围，这样可以多记住一些。

还有记忆不是一次就能会的，做完一套题所记的单词要当天背两次，第二天背一次，隔几天再背一次，别太着急了！！

这样多做题，做精了，提高会很快的。

祝你成功吧

学好外语的十条方法

1．学习不中断，哪怕每天挤出10分钟也可以，早晨则是大好时机。

2．学厌了可变换一下学习方式或形式。

3．不要脱离下下文孤立地死记硬背。

4．随时记下并背熟那些常用的句型。

5．尽可能“心译”接触的东西，如一闪而过的广告，偶尔听到的话语等。

6．要记住那些肯定是正确无误的东西。

7．抄录和记忆句型与惯用语时，要用单数第一人称。

8．外语好比碉堡，必须同时从四面八方围攻，如读报、听广播、看外语电影、听外语讲座、攻读课本等。

9．要敢于说外语，不要怕出错误，要请别人纠正，不要难为情，更不要泄气。

10．要坚信自己一定能够达到目的，坚信自己有坚强的毅力和学好外语的才能。

祝你早日通过CET4
