A listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here is some advice for you.

Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don’t be nervous. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage easily.

Then listen to the first sentence carefully. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. When you’re listening, try to do some thinking and take some notes(笔记),such as:

·What happened(发生)?

·When, where, and how?

·What was the result?

·What does the speaker want to tell us?

In this way, you may understand the passage better.

Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don’t know, don’t spend too much on them. Very often, you’ll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.

What is the sky? Where is it? How bright is it? What lies above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they?

Is the sky blue? The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.

When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.

Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.

And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.

Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.

Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.
