2009年12月大学英语四级考试之听力理解评析
武汉新东方 冷宁
这次十二月的四级试卷的听力部分，从整体难度来讲比六月份考试略有增加。第一部分，对话理解难度有所下降，比较容易得分。但第二部分的短文理解难度稍大，考核了许久未出现的科普类文章。第三部分，复合式听写也比上次难度略有增加。
前八题的小对话理解，考核了很多日常生活里的片段，如找零，送礼，健身，工作，学习等问题，关键词较容易得到。后两段长对话一篇以computer programming这门选课为中心，另一篇主要围绕stress in work. 这些都是新概念课文里提及过的重要短语。考核点多半是直接对应，无须转换，难度不大。
三篇短文理解，分别考核了一篇科普文章，the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth；社科类，oral communication in an emergency room和一篇讲述工作里的激励机制，how to motivate workers.
复合式听写的前八个空classified, background, album, appreciation, context, implies, image, instruction，很多都是新概念课堂里精讲的单词，并且考生可以通过文章前后进一步准确的写出词的形式。后三句话的听写，听上去似乎生词很多，但如果考生仔细观察，不难发现很多短语在文章中已经出现，只需添加若干个词完整句子的主干结构即可。
2009年12月大学英语四级考试之阅读理解评析

四级考试的阅读部分，题量多，分值相对较大，是学生容易抓分也相对容易失分的考题。阅读部分往往要求同学们在速度和准确率上取胜，快速阅读部分制胜的关键是快中求准，而仔细阅读部分则是快中求稳。刚刚结束的12月阅读题难度适中，以下是笔者对于阅读的逐题解析。
一、快速阅读
标题：Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid
本文涉及到了美国的两种奖学金。要彻底搞懂文章首先对这两种奖学金要有了解。
Merit-based奖学金是以申请人本身的学术，思想品质，发展潜力等实力因素来决定最后奖学金的多少。
Need-Based经济资助是依据学生家庭经济状况给的，主要考虑的点是父母收入、家庭资产、家庭大小和其他因素。
1.B在第三行some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as merit aid, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars.中re-examining和revise同意。所以选择 B revising their financial aid policies。
2. D It cut its merit-based aid to help the needy students.该信息可以从原文第三段定位得到信息cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients, pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid.从该句子中我们完全了解到:减少merit-based aid增加need-based aid.
3. C attract good students.该题答案在文中But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profiles.这个句子中有所体现。Recruit在这里表达“征募”。和答案中的attract意思相似。在该句中的serve as这个词组在新概念第2册64课也有出现。
4. D¬¬ it’s not right to give aid to those who can afford the tuition。在原文but "to be discounting the price for families that don't need financial aid doesn't feel right anymore."中可以找到该题答案。
5. B fierce competition among institutions。在原文typically in a bid to enroll top students in the state's public institutions.可以看到该题的答案。in a bid to 可以理解为“为了......，力求......”在答案中的fierce competition可以对应起来。
6. A They would like to see it reduced。该题答案在原文中基本是原文重现。David Laird, president of the 17-member Minnesota Private College Council, says many of his schools would like to reduce their merit aid.
7. C Many students from middle-income families have come to rely on it.该题答案在原文中可以找到A complicating factor, he and others note, is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don't qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it.文中depend on和答案的rely on意思是相同的。这个知识在新概念第三册29，38课中都有出现。
二、仔细阅读 选词填空：
标题：Childhood: Fathers Influence a Child’s Language Development
48. J recording 这个题目出现在第三段，从语法结构上可以看出在这里要填写一个现在分词。而且意思上和videotaped相似。在选项中得到recording就是轻而易举的事情了。 关于分词做状语在新概念第二册的49课老师是详细的讲到的。Record这个单词可以表示“录音”，在新概念第二册的36课老师也详细讲到。
49. L total 该空在number前面做定语，在选项中total是最合适的了。Total表达“总共的”是新概念第二册80课的重点单词。
53. N unsure 该题后面跟了why引导的从句，根据意思判断出unsure是不难的，但是在选项中还有unconscious 会造成一定的障碍，unconscious是新概念第三册31课的重点单词，意思：“不省人事, 未发觉的, 无意识的”。根据上下文当然是unsure 是正确答案。
54. G established。该题考察了一个“well+动词过去分词”的结构。这个结构在新概念第二册32课中老师详细的讲到。Well established是“已为大家接受的”的意思。例外老师还会补充well-dressed, well-done, well-ventilated …这些类似的结构。
55. A already 该题看到前后都是had就知道前面是一个助动词，后面是个实意动词，这个结构是过去完成时，当然是填写完成时的标志词already了。对于过去完成时的考点在新概念第二册的14课老师详细的将到。
56. E contributing 在这里contribute表示“贡献”，而且从语法结构中可以确认在这里应该填写一个现在分词，因为前面出现助动词are。Contribute这个单词在新概念第二册的85课老师详细讲到。
三、传统阅读
passage 1
57C: She will present to the world a new image of African-American women。该题的答案从文中I'm more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman.可以直接定位得到。而且句中出现了一个新概念二90课中的重点结构not…but “不是…而是”fascinate这个单词也是新概念第三册第9课的重点单词。
58 B :They are of an inferior social group。该题的答案可以在第二段中go largely unexamined. hot-tempered single mothers who can't keep a man 。eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers。这些描述中都看得出来黑人女性在美国的社会地位低下。Inferior 作为形容词“下等的，下级的”在新概念第三册41课老师详细地讲到。
59D: What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House。该题答案在文中many African-American blogs have written about what they'd like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. 可以直接找到。
60 C: However hard she tries, she cannot expect to please everybody.在文中Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task.可以找到该题的答案。而且正确答案只不过用了一个however引导的让步状语从句改写这个句子，however引导的让步状语从句在新概念第二册的68课老师详细的讲到。
61 A: Help change the prevailing view about black women. 通读全文可以看出来大多数黑人女性对Michelle Obama的期望就是改变美国人对黑人女性的偏见。
Passage 2:
标题：Global Headhunting
62 A: institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.在文章第二段Yet the talent flow isn't universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from the United States.可以看出A是最佳答案。
63 B : Their ability to raise funds.在第三段when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of university's budget. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to excel at the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising.在这个段落中出现的a major source of university's budget。这个结构和新概念第二册的58课中的A source of income.极为相似。包括第三段最后main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising。更加让我们确信该题的正确答案就是B。raise funds这个结构在新概念三册第二课中出现过。“Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another”而且在课后练习第9题中老师也补充说明raise funds表示“筹款”。
64D: Most of their revenues come from government。在第四段第一句中Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding.可以判断答案是D。该句中“are still mostly dependent on”结构出现在新概念第三册的29课。
65 A: She was known to be good at raising money。在文中Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, as its vice chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen "a major strengthening of Yale's financial position."可以看出答案是A。
66 C: They will view a lot of things from a new perspective.本文最后一句话Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.可以让我们得出C是正确答案。
今年12月的阅读题目秉承了一贯的四级出题思路，难度适中。返回文章定位还是最基本的思路。定位法在各个题目当中，也得到了充分的体现。另外传统阅读在重视细节类考题的同时，相对加重了主旨类考题的比重，这也给同学们了一个启示——在花时间注重细节的出处的同时，要在平时的联系中用泛读来训练自己对于文章或者段落中心思想的归纳能力。并且在复习阅读的过程中，适中把应该把词汇看作复习的中心，只有打牢词汇基础，有词汇量和必要语法结构的支撑，才能把阅读的速度和质量提高。
所以，一方面我们在平时的训练中，加大泛读的分量，另一方面也要坚持语法和词汇的学习和记忆。最后我们也要对一些常见的解题的思路和方法有一定的了解。这样才能让我们的复习有张有弛，让我们的复习能够更加全面和扎实。
