1． spot dictation

　　在这个部分，考生将听到一篇350词左右的短文，文章题材广泛，涉及科技，文化，经济，外交等方面。录音播放一遍，语速为150词/分钟，文章中留出20处空格要求考生填写，填写部分的词或短语长度以6个为限，一般以4词为多。录音播放完毕后有4分钟左右时间整理答案。这部分考题其实没太多技术含量，拼的就是速度和准确性，要快，准，狠的捕捉到答案，得依靠短时记忆和笔录能力，而巧妙精确的笔记在听写过程中省时省力，答案整理过程中能激活一遍录音留下的记忆，让考生迅速正确的判断和补充残缺不全的词和短语。1）建立一套方便实用的缩略语体系。例如：↗(improve), ＞(more/more than), ＜(less/less than),= (equal to), 2 （to）, c (see), eg (for example), info (information), prof (professor), am (america/american), std (stand/standard), w (world/women), uni (university), edu (education/educational)等等。缩写符号一定要固定，慢慢建立条件反射，耳朵一听到某个词，手就自动给出特定缩写，整理答案时则能见形知意，毋庸推敲。2）气定神闲，利用录音朗读非填空内容的时间从容书写。听录音时没有必要speaker念到哪里眼睛就追到哪里，而应迅速记录眼前空格里的字词，同时用余光留意下一个空前面的两个字（定位词），当念到该词时直接跳至下一空格准备记录其中内容: 不浪费一秒钟，不放过一个空。

2． listening comprehension

　　listening comprehension的题型主要是考生在cet4/6中就见惯的talks & conversations，难度较低，形式老套，大有希望拿到高分，但有相当多考生因一时大意而错失得分良机，究其原因往往是听录音时走神遗漏细节，或者内容太多，以至于听时了然回头茫然。这个时候笔记的作用又突现出来：简单几笔，帮助考生集中注意力，同时为回忆问题对应内容提供可靠依据。

例：2003年9月考试listening comprehension question 11: what nationality is the woman being interviewed?

a. american b. british
c. russian d. german

you will hear:

man: ms. sharman, we all know that you have a place in history as britain’s first astronaut. i don’t think any of us has any plans to follow you into the space, but we certainly want to know how you set about getting yourself into orbit.

women: i was driving my car home from work. i was trying to listen to some music really. i was just flicking through some radio stations finding some light music. and the advert went: astronaut wanted, no experience necessary and then went on to describe that the russians had offered opportunity to somebody from the united kingdom to train and then to blast off on one of their rockets and to do experiments in space. i thought “wow! yes! this is really something i really want to do!” because i had never thought about being an astronaut before that. i mean nobody tells you at school that if you studies sciences and keep up with your languages then maybe one day you can be an astronaut.
…

woman: there was never the opportunity for anybody from this country to be an astronaut. now maybe if i had grown up in russia or america maybe that would have been an ambition.
