更多资料 学英语 找长喜 1 第三篇 短文理解 9 怎样进行短文预测 六级听力短文理解一共 3 篇，每篇短文的长度大约在 240260 词之间，后设 34 题，3 篇共 10 题，问题全部是特殊疑问句，要求考生从所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。每篇短文只朗读一遍，每个问题后留有 13 秒的答题时间。学习如何在听音前阅读和分析选项，预测短文和问题内容，了解在听音时应该重点听什么、记什么。短文理解和长对话的考查方式十分类似，因而在解题技巧上也是相通的，考生在复习时可以结合前面学过的长对话技巧，做到融会贯通。一、利用重复词语，推测短文主题根据各题选项中出现的相同或相关词语，推测出短文的大致主题，从而在听音时可以更容易、更准确地理解短文内容。二、利用选项特点，推测问题内容很多选项都有比较明显的特点，或使用某种特殊的表达方式，如均为人物角色或均为地点场所；或含有某些标志性的词语，如均含有 should（很可能针对建议提问）；或均含有描述人物性格的词语。利用这些选项特点和选项内容，我们便可以推测出问题可能考查的核心内容，从而知道听音时应该重点关注哪些内容。三、提取选项要点，确定听音重点各选项中所涉及的要点内容，往往也是与问题及答案关系比较密切的内容，听音时只要将选项中所涉及的要点内容全部抓住，那么问题的答案也就迎刃而解了。因此，听前阅读选项时，考生应该提取各个选项的要点内容，将其缩小成一或两个单词，在听音时重点留意并记录与其相关的信息。【例】(09-6Passage One)【预览选项】26.A To help young people improve their driving skills.B To alert teenagers to the dangers of reckless driving.C To teach young people road manners through videotapes.D To show teens the penalties imposed on careless drivers.【预测信息】预览三道题各选项，由 young people,teenagers，driving skills，reckless driving 等相关词语可推测，短文应该与青少年的驾驶问题有关。27.A Road accidents.B Street violence.C Drug abuse.D Lung cancer.28.A It has changed teens way of life.B It has made teens feel like adults.C It has accomplished its objective.D It has been supported by parents.26选项均为不定式短语，help,alert,teach,show 表明，问题应该是考查目的；结合 young people,teenagers,reckless driving,road manners 等词和之前对主题的推测可知，该目的应该与解决青少年驾驶问题有关。27 选项均为某种社会问题，结合之前对主题的推测，该问题可能与青少年驾驶有关，故 A为答案的可能性较大。28 C提示，It 可能指某个机构或项目活动；teens 提示，该机构或项目应该与青少年有

for common sense and maturity to avoid accidents.26 In an effort to spread awareness to teens across the nation,the Allstate Foundation sponsored a Keep The Drive Summit at Sunset Station on January 23rd.Students from Kennedy and Alamo Heights High schools participated in the summit which was held here for the first time.26 The goal of the yearlong effort is to educate teens on the rules of safe driving and the severe consequences that can result if those rules are not followed,and then have them communicate that information to their peers.The students watched videos that told them about the numbers of teenage driving injuries and deaths.They listen to the videos as students from other cities share their stories of how their reckless driving affected not only their lives but also those of their passengers.“We are trying to create awareness in high schools across the countries,”said Westerman,an Allstate representative.“We focus on changing how teens think behind the wheel.”27According to the presentation,more teens die in automobile crashes in the United States each year than from drugs,violence,smoking and suicide.An average of 16 teens die every day in motor vehicle crashes and nearly forty percent of those are caused by speeding.Texas is the state with the most teen driving deaths according to the presentation.28Students agreed that the statistics were amazing and made them think twice about how they drive.【答案解析】26.For what purpose did the Allstate Foundation sponsor the Keep The Drive Summit?【解析】选B。细节题。文中提到，为了提高全国青少年的意识（In an effort to spread awareness to teens），the Allstate Foundation 出资发起了 Keep The Drive 会议，接着后面又提到，这一会议的目标（The goal is）是让青少年了解安全驾驶规则和违规驾驶会带来的严重后果（severe consequences），由此可知答案为B。27.What causes the greatest number of deaths among American teens according to the presentation?【解析】选 A。细节题。文中提到，根据 Westman 的介绍，在美国每年死于车祸（automobile crashes）的青少年人数多于死于其他原因的青少年人数，也就是说，车祸是造成青少年死亡最多的原因，road accidents 与 automobile crashes 同义，故答案为A。28.What can we conclude about the Keep The Drive Summit?【解析】选C。推断题。短文结尾提到，在 Keep The Drive 会议上公布的死于车祸的青少年人数使美国的青少年感到震惊（the statistics were amazing），使得他们在驾驶问题上会谨思慎行（think twice），结合第 26 题考查举行该会议的目的可知，会议设定的目标已经达到了，故答案为C。Passage One【做题提示】预览三道题各选项，短文可能与有关。1问题可能是关于女士的。2问题可能是关于女士。3问题可能与女士有关。1.A She wanted to pass the exams.B She did not work very hard before.C She wanted her sister to
