在各种听力考试中对事实细节题的考查最多,常见的问题是5个“W”和1个“H”(即who,what,when,where,why,how)。
(一)提问“在哪儿”(Where-question)
对这类问题,学习者应注意对话或短文的关键词语,通过关键词语判断“地点”。一般情况下,试题常出现的地点有学校、商店、餐馆、车站、机场、医院、邮局等。下面列出其相关词。
【范例】听录音,找到合适的答案。
Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?
A.In a post office.
B.In a bank.

【听力原文】
M: May I help you?
W: Yes, I'd like to open an account. Besides, please cash these travellers' checks.
【答案】B
(二)提问“什么时候”(When-question)
关于这类问题,学习者要注意以下几点。
(1)根据表示时间的关联词来判断事件发生的时间,如before,after,then,until,later, immediately等。
(2)听清楚有关数字和数字之间的关系,然后进行简单的计算。例如:
The long distance bus from Jinan to Qingdao usually takes 4 hours,but yesterday it took me two hours more because of the heavy traffic.
Q: How long did it take him to get to Qingdao yesterday?
(3)掌握年、月、星期的表达方法。注意一些表示时间的词,如quarter,a couple of days,eve,dawn,day break等。
【范例】听录音,找到合适的答案。

M: I'd prefer a later time so that I can come along after work.
W: Then what about 6:15?
M: Well, that's fine.
【答案】A
(三)提问“哪个”/“谁”(Which/Who-question)
who常用来问说话人的身份,动作的执行者或接受者;which主要对某种具体的事物进行提问。这类问题难度不大,有时文中直接给出答案,有时可以根据相关信息判断。
【范例】听录音,找到合适的答案。
Q: Who is Mr. White?
A.A salesman.
B.A professor.
C.A repairman.
【听力原文】
M: My radio doesn't work. What do you think I should do?
W: Why don't you call Mr. White?
【答案】C

W: Really? So you were injured and treated in the hospital.
M: Yes. But luckily, only my left arm was broken. And I can move it now.
…
【答案】A
(五)问方式(How-question)
how主要提问年龄、距离、速度、价格、数量等以及说话人对事物的反应、动作的方式等。关于年龄、距离、速度等问题一般要进行简单的运算。学习者除了要听清楚数字外,还要注意百分数、倍数等数的数量词,如double,half,dozen,couple,thirty percent,three times,century等。

W: Yes, I moved here in 1967.
M: Then why do you want to sell it?
…
【答案】B
二、推理判断题

M: Did you develop all your own film?
W: Only the black and white. I had a photo shop do my color pictures.
【答案】C

二、对话理解
解答此类题时,需要掌握以下技巧。
1.“听短对话选择答案”主要有两方面:一是根据时间、地点、原因和对话内容所涉及的具体数字回答所提的问题;二是根据说话者的意图、观点和态度等对选项答案做出正误判断。
“听对话回答问题”要着重看答语,然后画出关键词,看看问的是什么,然后再听。通常会问到的问题如下。
(1)考具体事实和信息,如时间、地点、人物、价钱、数量、原因、目的、结果等。有时还要对听到的信息做加工处理,如数字运算、时间顺序、比较筛选、同义转换、因果关系等。考查细节的常见提问方式如下。
Where has somebody been?
What time will they meet?
What will the weather be like tomorrow?
Who will be in the sports meeting?
What is wrong with...?
How long will she keep the book?
How far is it from here to the bookshop?
How many people are mentioned in the passage?
How much are all the things?
……
(2)推测谈话背景,判断人物身份。这要求学习者理解对话地点、背景和对话者之间的关系。考查背景的常见提问方式如下。
Who are the two speakers?
What is the relationship between the two speakers?
Which sport will the boy may win?
Where are the two speakers?
Where are they?
Where are they talking?
……
2.听录音时,注意对话者的角色、语音、语调及关键信息词语。要养成边听边记的习惯,可在草稿纸上快速写下对话所涉及的人物、时间、地点以及具体的数据,不能无目的地听,但也不能只顾写而影响听下文。
三、短文理解
解答此类题时,需要掌握以下技巧。
1.听录音前,快速浏览问题和选项。在听短文的录音材料之前,把试卷上所给的问题及选项迅速浏览一遍,熟悉问题及各个选项,以弄清问题问的是什么,初步了解短文的内容要点,以便听录音材料时,做到心中有数。带着问题有目的、有所侧重地去听,就能准确而迅速地捕捉关键信息,从各个所给选项中选出正确答案。
2.听录音时,抓住主题和特定细节。做“短文理解”题只要求考生听懂材料的主要内容,不一定字字句句都能听得清清楚楚。因此,在听录音材料时,应时刻想着 “What does it chiefly deal with?”或“What does he mainly talk about?”这些问题,把注意力集中在听到的“5W+1H”6大要点上,找出主干,抓住中心,并注意听好文章的首句、首段和末句。
在听录音材料时,要做一些简单的记号或标志,把听力材料中的地点、数字、时间、人名和谓语动词等关键信息记下来,这样,学习者可以防止因为过度紧张而忘掉刚刚听明白的内容。等听完整个短文后,再回过头来做题,这对问题的理解和选择答案都会有很大的帮助。
3.听完录音后,要善于根据已知信息的关系,推断各题答案之间是否合理。
4.听短文判断正误,要注意有些句子和原文句子完全相同,听一遍就能做出判断,有些是用同义词改写的原文句子;有的句子与原文结构不同,但意义相同;有些句子中的某个关键词与原文不同,要分析判断;有些是要在听懂整篇短文的基础上才能做出判断的。要密切注意短文首句和末句,首句往往是开门见山,点明短文主题,末句往往是总结语,或与主题呼应。
5.听短文填单词,听写时要注意前后提示。有的被听写的词可能就出现在短文中,这时可快速做一个符号,以便挤出时间听写其他空白处内容。听写完后,还要检查一下,看用词是否有误,并查找大小写、单复数、时态等有无错误。
