(I=interviewer DS=Dr.Smith C1=Caller 1 Y=Yang An S=Su Qin)
I:Welcome to today's programme.We've invited Dr.Smith to share with us effective strategies for learning English.Hello, Dr.Smith, many of our listeners have questions about learning English.I suppose you're ready to take calls from our listeners. So start 1.phoning in!
C1: Hello, Dr. Smith. I've spent a lot of time reading English coursebooks, but I've made little progress. My question is how to learn English effectively.
DS: Well, my advice is to increase your knowledge of English beyond the classroom. One way to do that is by reading more. I would 2.recommend that you try simplified classic literature, such as short stories and novels rewritten in simple English. The other way is to listen more, for example, listening to English programmes. With sufficient 3.language input, I'm sure you can learn English effectively.
Y: Hello, Dr. Smith. My name is Yang An. I find memorising new words very difficult.
DS: Hi, Yang An. So what do you normally do to memorise new words?
Y: I just try to memorise the word list and it is so 4.difficult and boring.
DS: Well, I don't think memorising the word list is the best way to learn words. First, you should learn words 5.in context. For example, when reading English stories, try to keep reading on even when you come across some new words. A lot of the time, you'll be able to guess the meaning of an unfamiliar word without 6.looking it up. Also, you should learn words in chunks. For example, we say“ open the book”, but“ turn on the computer”. Or we say “eat an apple”, but “ take the medicine”.
Y: OK. I see. So I need to learn words in context and in chunks. Thank you very much.
S:Hello, Dr. Smith. I'm Su Qin. Learning grammar
学生用书第102页
is a big headache for me. I've put so much time in memorising grammar rules and doing a lot of exercises, but my English is still really bad.
DS: Hi, Su Qin. Just memorising the rules is not helpful. My advice is that when you learn a grammar rule, you should try to use it in speaking and writing activities. By doing so, you'll be learning grammar in a more 7.natural way than from a grammar book. Very slowly, you will start to acquire the rules and use them 8.without thinking.
S:Ah! I'll try this and see how it goes. Thank you very much.
I: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for joining us today. I'm sure our audience has better ideas about how to learn English effectively now.
9.4
(L=Liang Wei P=Pam R=Robert)
L:English is spoken in many areas of the world, for example, the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, the English language may be used 9.slightly differently from one country to another. English speakers in different areas may also have different speaking habits. Today, we're honoured to have two special guests with us to tell us about this.
P: Hey there! I'm Pam, from the US.
R: Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Robert, from the UK.
L: Nice to meet you, Pam and Robert. Can you tell us the differences between American English and British English?
P: Well, I'm American and Robert is British, so we have different ways of 10.pronouncing words. For example, British people say“water” and“tomato” but Americans say“water” and“tomato”!
L: That's odd! They sound so different! Do they still mean the same thing?
P: They do. Let me think of some other examples for you. Ah, I say“example” and “ dancing in the classroom”, but Robert says ...
R: “ Example” and“ dancing in the classroom”.
L: Ah! How do people understand each other when words are pronounced so differently?
P: The more you listen, the easier it is to 11.catch on.
R: Apart from pronunciation, we use different words for 12.describing the same things.For example, we say “lift” but Americans say “elevator”. We say “football” and Americans say “ soccer”!
L: Interesting!
R: Let me tell you a joke. In London, if you ask the local people, “ Where is the nearest subway?”, you may 13.end up in a fast food restaurant! The American “subway” is called the “underground” in the UK, or the “tube” in London.
L: Wow!I never realised that British and American English were so different!
P: Well, don't worry. Though they are different in one way or another, people have no difficulty in understanding each other. There are other ways to communicate—14.smiling is a worldwide language!
R: That's right!
Step Ⅲ Post listening
听力技法——when 设问的题目
[技巧点拨]
1.考查时间细节:“when”设问的题目通常要求考生从对话或独白中提取具体的时间信息,如事件发生的时间点、时间段或时间顺序。
2. 捕捉时间关键词:考生需要从对话中捕捉与时间相关的关键词,如具体的时间表达(如“at 3 p.m.”)、时间状语(如“yesterday”“next week”)等。
学生用书第103页
3.结合语境理解:有时需要考生结合对话的整体语境理解时间信息,例如通过上下文推断出事件发生的时间。

A.On September 17.
B.On September 16.
C.On September 23.
答案:B
解析:题目问的是女士何时到达酒店。从对话中可以听到,女士在预订酒店房间时明确提到她将在“September 16th”到达。因此,答案是B选项。A项是离开时间,故排除。
