听力理解能力应是英语教学的重要内容。听是理解和吸收口头信息的手段,听力理解能力是提高口语表达能力的基础。卡尔?韦弗(CarI Weaver)曾经说过:“听是交际活动的核心”。和读一样,听是感知技能,是对听觉器官接收到的信息的感知,这种感知叫做听觉感知。“听”在英语的“听、说、读、写”四技能中处于最基础的地位。“听”是输入,是人们学习、吸收语言的重要途径,没有输入就没有输出。从第二语言习得规律方面讲,“说”是通过模仿而获得的言语行为,模仿的渠道就是“听”。
听的技能就是通过听获取信息、处理信息,并完成相关任务。听力测试,即对听的技能的评价手段,主要检测考生理解口头英语的能力,对特定情景中的对话或独白的整体输入和理解。对于某些听力试题,考生无法直接从对话或独白中捕捉现成的答案,要求考生经过对所听到的信息进行处理后才能得到正确答案。
一、设计听力测试题应遵循的几个原则
1.题型要根据测试目的来确定,主观题型与客观题型相结合。
2.原文最好是口语材料,要反映交际功能,涉及词汇应是口语涉及的高频词汇。
3.原文要适合考生的年龄特点和生活实际。
5.要确保听力题必须通过听作答,通过读题可作答的题没有意义。
7、不设置语法错误的选项,以免混淆考查重点。
二、听力测试题型及命题办法
我这里所说的“应答”有两个含义:1. 对所听到的某个情景的陈述做出反应,例1“道歉和应答”“邀请和应答”;2. 对所听到的某一问题而做回答。本题型要求考生理解原文语句的语义及功能。命题时应按照课标中的功能意念项目表选材
第二类 听对话
(一)听短对话
短对话可以是一问一答,也可以问题两三个轮次,但不要过长。针对每一段短对话设置一个问题,考查细节信息或考查考生理解谈话双方的身份、关系、态度、意图等。可以设置选择题,也可以设置非选择题。最好由男女声录音,问题由第三个人提出,同时录在磁带上。为降低难度,也可以将问题印制在试卷上。
1、 听短对话选择正确答案
2、听短对话回答问题
3、听短对话及问题选择正确答案
4、听短对话及问题选择正确图画(如我省中考英语听力第一题)
【例】
原文: W: (Excuse me, sir.) Where is the nearest bookshop, please?
M: Sorry, I don’t know. (Er…I think you can ask the policeman over there.)
W: Thank you all the same.
(添加括号中的语句更好些,在实际生活交谈时,经常使用零碎语, 如er,mm,hm, ah, well等)
Q: Where does the woman want to go?
书面选项:(选择式) (文字) A. The book shop. B. The food shop. C. The bus shop.
(图片) A. 书店 B. 食品商店 C. 公共汽车站
(非选择式) _________________. (The nearest bookshop)
(二)听长对话
长对话分为两人对话或多人对话,为方便录音,多采用两人对话。长对话自然是多个问答轮次。设置的问题一般包括谈话人之间的关系、事件、原因、结果、态度、情感、赞同、反对等,可以设置两个或多个题目。
1、听对话选择正确答案(问题在试卷上)
2、听对话及问题选择正确答案(问题在录音中)
【例】
原文:
W: Are you going to the cinema tonight? I hear there is an American film.
M: I’d like to. I happen to be free this evening. What’s the film about?
W: It’s about “How black people were brought to America from Africa”. I remember the name now. It’s “Roots”.
M: Oh!It’s a world famous story written by William Hadley. I’ve heard about it, but I’ve never read it.
W: My mother has bought two tickets already. Let’s go together.
M: Thank you, then when shall we meet?
W: The film starts at
M: OK. See you later.
W: See you later.
Questions:
1. What wiIl the boy and the girl do this evening?
2. When wiIl they meet at the bus stop?
3. Who bought the tickets?
书面选项:
1. A. See a film. (比They will see a film.更简洁)
B. Go for a walk.
C. Read a book.
2. A. At
B: At 6:00. (原文信息词At six.用阿拉伯数字体现转换)
C. At
3. A. The boy.
B. The girl.
C. The girl’s mother.
3、听对话连线(我省中考英语听力B)
【例】
原文:
Ms Liu: What are
you doing in
Tim: I’m studying Chinese
at
Ms Liu: That’s a good university. Do you think it’s hard?
Tim: A little. I have homework every day, and there are so many tests!
Ms Liu: Well, keep studying, and you’ll get on well with your studies. .
Tim: I’m sure I will.
Ms Liu: By the way, are you parents with you here?
Tim: No, I’m alone here. What do you do for a living, Ms Liu?
Ms Liu: I work in a bank.
Tim: That sounds interesting.
Ms Liu: Sometimes it is, but it’s also hard work. We’re always very busy.
Tim: I know how you feel. So, do you take long vacations?
Ms Liu: Not really. The bank needs us to work all year. Of course, we can take vacations, but only for a few days or a week.
书面题目:
1. Tim A.
is working at
2. Ms Liu B.
isn’t in
3. Tim’s father C. works in a bank.
4. Tim has D. is a student of
E. only a little work to do.
F. lots of homework and many tests.
Key:1-4 DCBF
这种题的缺点是,有的选项靠语法或搭配便可排除。
4、听对话或短文在表格或图表中填入正确的信息(如我省中考英语听力D题)
原文:
A: Hello, who’s that speaking?
B: Hello, this is Mike. May I speak to Mary, please?
A: I’m sorry she is not in. she went to the shop just now.
B: I ’m sorry to hear that.
A: This is Jack speaking. Can I take a message for you?
B: Yes, please. When
she comes back, tell her to ring back at about
A: What is your telephone number, please?
B: My number is 5878320. Thank you for your help.
A: You are welcome. Bye!
B: Goodbye!

听力试题的原文选材来源于生活,体现生活,和我们日常生活有密切联系,最好能体现中西方文化差异与交融。具体涉及到的有:问路,购物,助人,询问时间,问候,新闻,约会,打电话等功能项目。话题内容为英语课程标准中规定的话题。朗读速度约为每分钟100个单词左右。
