Part A: Spot Dictation
Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blank with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.
Listening is one of the first things we learn to do and one of the things we do most. The average person spends 9% of their daily communication time writing, 16% reading, 30 % speaking, and 40% listening. Students spend most of their school time listening, up to 60% according to some studies. Yet despite its importance, we usually take our ability to listen for granted. As we have already said, though, listening isn’t easy. The fact is we have different listening styles for different occasions. How successful we are as listeners may depend in part on choosing the right listening style for the situation. Perhaps the most basic listening style is appreciative listening. We listen appreciative when we enjoy music, a birds’ song or the murmur of a book. We need a different style, one called discriminative listening. When we want to single out one particular sound from a noisy environment, you discriminate, for example, when you listen for a friend’s voice in a crowded room. We use a third style of listening: comprehensive listening, when we want to understand. When we listen to directions or instructions, we are using this style. The forth learning style is more complex, therapeutic listening. The style practice by counselors, psychiatrists, and good friends encourages people to talk freely without fear of embarrassment. Friends act as our sounding boards, when we just want someone to listen. The therapeutic listener in conversation with a troubled friend accepts what he said tries hard to understand. And above all, makes no judgment. The fifth style, critical listening, is the one we will examine most closely. Critical listeners are the most active of all listeners. Because they are working hard to decide whether what someone else says make sense. Critical listeners evaluate what they hear and decide if another person’s message is logical, worthwhile or has value. We need to be critical listeners, when someone wants us to buy some things, vote a certain way, or support a particular idea. We also need to be critical listeners in school, where listening and thinking are almost synonymous.
评析:
本篇文章是关于听的能力的分类介绍,题材为生活科普。主要介绍了五种不同的听的方式,并举例说明了这些方式是如何在不同条件下使用。文章难度属于中等,说明性文章,有明确的逻辑条理,通过中间的逻辑连接词,如the first, the third, the forth, the fifth…; for example等词,较易抓听关键信息。但文中有部分词汇,可能仍会对考生造成困扰:如appreciative, discriminative,psychiatrist,therapeutic等。建议考生平时注意对与生活息息相关的科普文进行关注。

发展是人类社会的永恒主题。上世纪60年代末,我在中国黄土高原的一个小村庄当农民,切身体会到了百姓的稼穑之难和衣食之苦,他们对美好生活的渴望深深印在我的脑海里。半个世纪后,我重访故地,看到乡亲们吃穿不愁,衣食无忧,脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容。
