二、听力技法
听力技法之推理原则
1.通过关键词推场景地点和关系,熟悉常见场景和关系的相关词汇,如听到waitress(服务员)、menu(菜单)可推断出场景在饭店。
2.关于数字和时间
很大情况不会让你直接听出来,必定要进行运算。
3.关于价钱问题,分为以下两种情况:
①不需要进行运算型:通常文中会有多个数字出现,只需要你根据信息筛选;
②需要进行运算型:一般只给一个数字,然后根据其他信息进行运算(关于这类问题,背一些重要的数字,还要背一下关于折扣的词汇,如discount等等)。
典题示例
(2023·新课标Ⅰ卷)Where is Jim now?
A.In a taxi.
B.On a bus.
C.In his office.
√
听力原文
W:Jim will call on us this afternoon.Do you know where he is now?
M:Er...wait.Let me see.He has sent two messages saying that he's done with his work at the office and got a taxi and...and he'll arrive in twenty minutes.
W:We can't keep him waiting outside our home.We have to hurry.
M:But it takes at least half an hour to get to the city center by bus.Look at the traffic.
W:Let's get off.We can save at least twenty minutes by walking through the park.
M:Are you sure?
W:Yes.A hundred percent.
精准剖析
地点猜测题。根据对话中“He has sent two messages saying that he's done with his work at the office and got a taxi and...and he'll arrive in twenty minutes.”可知,Jim上了出租车,20分钟后会到达。因此Jim现在在出租车上。

_______________________
Leah:That was six years ago.For me, visiting China was a dream come true.On that first trip, I went to Yangshuo in Guangxi.

Journalist:___________________________________________
Leah:Firstly, what I get from tai chi makes up for the hard work and challenges. It helps me relax and brings me peace inside, and is a simple way to deal with pressure. As well as being good for your mind, tai chi can help improve your physical abilities. That's why I set up a tai chi school in the UK.

(2024·河南商丘市名校高一上期中)
Bartek Ostalowski lost both his arms in a terrible accident in 2006, but that wasn't enough to kill his dream of one day becoming a professional race car driver.Finding himself armless at just 20 years old and faced with the difficult task of learning to drive a car on a race circuit(赛车道) must have been quite the shock for Bartek, but he gathered the courage and the drive to push on.In three years, he became a master of driving a race car with his feet.Today, Bartek Ostalowski is the world's only professional sport driver who drives using his feet.
In order to deal with his physical limitations, Bartek transformed(改装)his race car according to his needs, adding a new engine, and stronger transmission(变速器).The ambitious Polish driver uses his right foot to control the pedals, while moving on with his left one.The race car is controlled with the shoulder.
“After my accident, I was looking for a solution.I asked myself if I wanted to race again what would I need to do?” Bartek told the reporter of Business Insider.“I heard about someone in Poland who, like me, had no arms, but he drove a car on a daily basis with no problem.After meeting him, my dream and passion for motor sports were alive and strong, and I made the decision to return to racing one day.”
In 2019, Ostalowski finished in ninth place out of 50 drivers in the Polish Drift Championship, one of the most competitive championship series in all of Europe, and the year before that, he won the international Czech Drift Series, beating dozens of other professional sports drivers.
“Of course, I encourage other people with disabilities to get involved in motor sports.It's a beautiful passion and I think a great form of recovery too.So make your dreams come true,” the Polish driver said.

(2024·广州市第八十九中学高一上期中)
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says.According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr.Norberg says.According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first talk with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says.It takes some practice.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势,但是之前受过伤的人,要想从事这样的运动要谨慎,最好咨询专家的建议。
5.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A.They have to follow special rules.
B.They are suitable for the marathon.
C.They must run long distances.
D.They are good at swinging their legs.
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知,竞走运动员之所以有条件要求是因为运动员需要遵守某些特殊的运动规则。故选A项。
√
6.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A.It's more effective in body building.
B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
D.It's more popular at the Olympics.
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知,竞走与跑步相比,它的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选C项。
√
7.What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A.Becoming an experienced coach.
B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Doing regular exercises.
D.Getting experts' opinions.
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Dr.Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first talk with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says.It takes some practice.”可知,Dr.Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选D项。
√
8.Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A.Objective.
B.Negative.
C.Doubtful.
D.Positive.
观点态度题。根据第一段中内容可知,作者既提及了竞走的优势,又话锋一转指出它存在的问题,由此可以判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选A项。
