为您找到与2017年英语专八听力试题相关的共200个结果:
英语专业八级考试以其特定的考试人群,高级别的难度、有限的通过率和国内本科时代“终极”英文等级证书的名号而使其具备相当的稀缺性和辨识度。即便是英语专业大四的学生,备考时都需要耗费一定的心力。其中,所有科目都是以考察英文“硬实力”为导向设计的。按照考试顺序,你会遇到的挑战分别是:听力(20%),阅读(20%),人文知识(10%),改错(10%),翻译(20%)和写作(20%)。五种题目的考试时间长度接近190分钟。在这次稿件中,我们先从听力入手,分析听力部分的破题之道。
此类题目是目前国内英文考试中难度最大的一种听力题目。考生首先会在无任何文字提示的情况下听到一篇长约9分钟,接近1000词左右的演讲稿,同时被要求在纸上做笔记。听力结束后,监考人会将答卷纸发至考生手中,要求考生利用笔记内容进行填空。专业八级听力部分涉及到四大能力的测试:
1、基础听力能力 2、速记能力 3、理解笔记能力(解码能力) 4、填空能力
结合四大能力的考察,我们总结出以下做题步骤:

全国性的英语专业八级考试是一项检验英语专业学生语言能力的考试。该文就听力题型部分进行分析,从实践角度就如何使学生在练习中应用技巧解决难题,提高听力水平提出了一些建议。下面是读文网小编整理的英语专八考场上的听力应试技巧, 希望对大家有帮助。
练习听力时,大家可采取“精听”和“泛听”两种方式结合来训练自己,前者的重点在于深度,后者则注重广度。精听的目的在于从what, who, where, when, why 和 how等角度入手,弄懂与之有关的所有问题,即所有细节性问题;而泛听则是听懂大意即可。通过这两方面长期不懈的努力,考生最终能获得用英语进行思维的能力。如果能做到用英语思考问题,那么做对几道试题是不会有太多困难的,因为试题从广义上也就分为两大类,局部理解题和通篇理解题,前者属于我们精听的范畴,而后者则属于我们泛听的对象。听的目的在于懂,那么,如何衡量自己是否听懂了呢?一个行之有效的方法就是“复述”。我们在听完一个片段后,可将所听的内容重复一遍,如果具有较高的准确度,就说明真正听懂了;否则需要再听一遍,如果连听几遍还无法较为满意地复述,说明所听内容太难,应予以更换。?
与此同时,我们还应通过“读”帮助“听”,特别是在听新闻方面。与其他听力材料相比,新闻具有其鲜明的特点。新闻的内容特别广泛,几乎覆盖我们生活的各个方面。听英语新闻的最大一个障碍是对新闻词汇的生疏。因此,在学习听新闻的初级阶段,我们可以阅读一些大众媒体文献,如报纸、刊物,从中积累一些新闻用语,一些重要组织的名称如EEC(European EconomicCommunity)欧洲经济共同体、IMF(International Monetary Fund)国际货币基金会、OPEC(Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) 石油输出国组织、NASA(NationalAeronautics and Space Administration)国家航空和航天局;单词如upsurge(高涨)、manoeuvre(策略)、escalation(升级)、allegation(断言)等等。对现实生活各个领域的词汇都略知一二是听懂新闻的基础。新闻作为一种语言测试题型也是语言在现实生活中真实运用的体现。
在八级考试考试中,新闻的内容均为考生所熟悉的一般性政治、经济、娱乐等方面的信息,在题材上不会给考生造成障碍,其目的只是测试考生从VOA或BBC获取新闻的能力。与其他听力练习一样,提高听英语新闻的能力的唯一途径也是多听。在英语新闻听力训练初级阶段,考生可借助有文字稿的教材帮助训练。考生在训练时应提倡首先在不看文字材料的情况下直接听录音答题,在多次不能听懂时再看文字稿。经过一段时间这样的训练后,多数同学的听力能力都能有明显提高。在达到完全脱稿就能基本听懂新闻的要求后,考生可过渡到定时定量收听英语新闻的练习。练习时还要注意我们在前面提到的一个问题,即听懂是一个方面,如果能做到在听懂后能将一则新闻的重要细节和大意在脑海里回顾一遍或复述一遍,这对我们听力能力达到质的飞跃有极大的帮助。倘若坚持“听”与“复述”相结合的练习,对大家的听力及用英语进行思维的能力有很大的提高。

作为英语专业八级考试听力部分的重要题型,微型讲座已成为许多高校听力教学的重点。然而,对于该题型的效度,即能否真实体现学生的听力理解水平,仍存在争议.
(1)英音、美音
很多考生平时训练的听力材料都是美音,导致自己对于英音有很强烈的不适应感。专八的听写或听力,英音或美音的可能性都为50%。所以,考生平时练习的时候要有意识培养自己对这两种语音的适应度。选择的音频,也要两种语音兼顾。
(2)全文没有标点符号
材料的标点需要考生自己根据意群去划分。考生一方面可以利用录音第二遍、第三遍的断句来判断,另一方面还要强化自己的英文标点意识。不要中、英标点混用。
(3)最后复查2分钟没有充分利用
部分同学会急于用这2分钟浏览听力考题,导致听写部分出现一些“小儿科”错误。单词的单复数、过去时态、has/is 的错用、主谓一致等都是在这2分钟内可以检查并更正的。另外一个要注意的就是,根据得分、扣分的规则,如果有一句话基本没听清楚,那放弃这句话去检查其它句子才是明智之举。听写是专四的第一题,它的成败在很大程度上决定了考生的心情。在这六周时间里,每个早晨从听写开始,培养自己的答题风格。

全国性的英语专业八级考试是一项检验英语专业学生语言能力的考试。该文就听力题型部分进行分析,从实践角度就如何使学生在练习中应用技巧解决难题,提高听力水平提出了一些建议。
听力与语法、阅读不同,语法、阅读可以读完再回读,但听力的内容是暂时、一次性的,因此学会抓要点、关键词,以意群为单位理解全文,就变得相当重要。在八级考试的听力部分中,问题都已印在考卷上,同时在各部分题目前试题上都印有一段题目指令,磁带上也录有相应指令,由于每年考试这部分指令都基本相同,考生只要熟悉这些内容,就可以利用播放指令的这段时间,或利用两道题目之间的10秒停顿间隙,快速浏览一下已印在试卷上的问题和四个选择项,从而获取听音前的思考线索和对听音内容的背景提示,这样在听的过程中,就可以有针对性地有选择地听原文,从而抓住相关信息,滤除不相关的内容,减轻听的负担和记忆的负荷,以提高听的有效性,同时,通过阅读干扰项,多些背景提示,再分析四个选择项的异同,以此作为线索,听的时候,做到有的放矢。例如看到下面一题时,即可知道整个录音很可能与抢劫有关。
What strikes the woman most about the male robber is his .
A. clothes B. age C. physique D. appearance.
一旦获悉即将听到的一篇材料与抢劫有关的信息后,大脑就很自然地启动一些所储存的关于抢劫的情景,这样就几乎达到了兵马未动,粮草先行的境地,从而主动权就掌握在考生手里。反之,如果不进行试题预读,可能在听完全部材料的三分之一后才知道其中心议题是抢劫。这就是预读的重要性。不仅如此,还可以利用多余的答题时间来达到预读的目的。题与题之间一般有15秒的答题时间,如果考生只用5秒就做好了第一题,那么余下的10秒就可以用于预读第2题、第3题等。TEM-8考试听力的四个部分中,只有第四部分考生不能预读,因为考生在做完笔录后才发给该部分答卷即ANSWER SHEET ONE。

英语考试第一部分就是听力理解。因此,听力理解是否顺利直接影响考生整个考试期间的心理状态,对考试成败起着关键作用。以下是小编为大家整理的试题类型及应试技巧,希望能帮助大家学好英语。
听短对话。考生在处理广播调试声音后,即可“扫描”短对话中的选项。据此展望第1个短对话可能出现的话题。
短对话只听1遍;其他两大题,各听2遍,耗时约20—30分钟。
考生在“扫描”时,预先知道该题涉及骑自行车;其中可能涉及骑车的时间,也可能是涉及一次具体的骑车活动。
这种“超前”浏览选项的本领可以培养,有的考生可以提前“扫描”3~5题,并保留一定印象。
[注]听短对话时切忌走神。万一走神,比如说第4题没听清楚,你的本能反应是想再听,想回忆——但根本不可能,所以此刻只好猜题。猜题还有1/4的希望;反思的话,不巧把第5题也给漏掉!
听短文。听短文时要学会“记要”(takingnotes)。记要有两类,一是用符号记下关键信息(如数量大小、时间顺序等);一是用具体文字记。这是因为短文耗时长,有人会“前听后忘记”。另外一个决窍是“超前”浏览短篇的选项。如:
考生一扫描就意识到该题指全文中心思想,并立即分辨出问题要么问理由(针对why),要么讲过程(针对how)。
听长对话。听长对话也应该有个“超前”扫描,先对对话话题有个印象。在对话进行时要注意“细节”(detail)和“关键词” (keywords),必要时也得作“记要”:用铅笔,在试卷边(testpapermargin)记一下。

学英语,听力越来越重要,怎样有效地提高听力学习效果是学习者非常关心的问题。以下是小编为大家整理的英语听力试题分析和技巧,希望能帮助大家学好英语。
我们都知道听、说、读、写是英语中重要的四大组成部分。而听力所以排在最前面也是有原因的。因为我们必须先听懂foreigner怎么说,我们才会说,能听懂并说出来这是学习语言最基本的要素。然后我们才会进行更高级的训练,也就是读写。因此,学好听力在英语学习中就显得尤为重要了。那么,如何有效地练习听力,并提高我们的听力水平呢?除了以上提到的做试题诀窍之外,还有很多的经验可供大家参考。
英语听力是多种能力的综合训练。大学英语四级新试卷中听力部分一共有35题,规定的考试时间为35分钟。这部分分为Section A, Section B 和 Section C 三节。
Section A 一般由8组短对话( Short Conversation )和两段长对话(Long Conversation )组成。每组短对话后带有一个问题,通常对话和问题都只读一遍。长对话也是只读一遍,从样卷看, 长对话中的第一篇稍长, 两人的对话有十个来回, 后面有四个问题;第二篇稍短, 约有六个来回,三个问题。Section A中的长对话是大学英语四级考试的新题型。Section B由三篇短文(Short Passages )组成, 每片短文后有3—4个问题, 短文和问题都只读一遍。以上两类听力题都是用四选一的形式答题。做四选一的听力题应该首先根据选项了解问题的大致类型:如问时间、地点、细节还是内容等,应该说如知道问什么对于听懂对话时是大有帮助的。所以考生若能借助宣读考试指令、阅读各部分的要求时间, 以及题与题之间的间隙时间, 先阅读试题选项,再根据选项判断题目会问什么, 然后在听的过程中重点关心与题目有关的部分。
在做听力题时, 考生要善于捕捉关键信息。在短对话中可以根据选项留心对话内容,特别要注意转折性的关联词;在长对话和短文中,要留心重读关键词,注意文章起始和结尾部分的主题句以及提示上下文关系的关联词。养成边听边做记号和做笔记的习惯。有许多细节题型, 尤其是和某个选项有关的数字、年代、时间、人物、地点等要素, 要在选项上作出记号, 留下适当提示,以助后面的答题。 要抓住四级大纲重点的句型和词组。不求听懂每个单词, 碰到没听清楚的地方要先放过去, 注意下面的内容。
Section C 是复合式听写(Compound Dictation ), 这是老题型,但现在已成为必考题型了。听一篇250词左右的短文,要求分填单词和完成句子两类题目,文章读三遍;而这一部分的句子听写通常是考生最犯怵的。因为试卷上会提供听到的大部分文字, 因此可以先浏览一下这些文字, 猜测可能填的单词的意思和词性, 这样带着问题去听效果会好得多。对于完成句子的题目, 主要是先听懂句子的意思, 然后填写。要充分利用读三遍的作用, 第一遍可以完成单词的填写和掌握要填写句子的大意, 第二遍重点应该放在句子上, 即使写完句子,第三遍则基本上要再做题目,用于校对。不要轻易改动已经完成的填写, 除非本来填的时候就没有把握的那些部分。要学会暂时放弃和大胆猜测, 考试如遇到暂时做不出来的题目, 应立刻放弃, 不要影响后面的听音。待全部听力结束后, 选一个与听到的句子重复词最少的选项, 至少还有25%以上答对的可能性。再者,听力题型的题材选择也会比较广泛,考生也需关注社会热点话题, 注重时代性和预测性。
例如:先给自己创造一个尽量真实的语言环境;再大量的泛听;英语不仅是一门知识,更是一种技能。俗话用“拳不离手,曲不离口”来形容熟练掌握一种技能的诀窍;其次泛听必须和精听相结合,仅仅泛听是不够的。它只是量的积累,是一个准备过程,只有在精听之后,听力才能有质的飞跃。听力教程、英语广播、双语字幕的电影、国际会议上领袖的演讲都是练习听力的好材料。拿新闻广播举例来说,VOA Special English, VOA Standard English, CNN, NPR, BBC等都很不错,学生可以并根据实际情况选取相应材料练习。
大学一年级的同学建议听VOA特别英语(语速在每分钟90词左右,词汇量相对较少),刚开始学口译的同学也可以用来练交传。大学高年级的同学可以多听 VOA常速, NPR, BBC等新闻(语速在每分钟120-140词左右),听完后一定要做glossary(词汇表),把重要的单词短语搜集整理出来。高年级听力练习中,学生经常发现自己并不是单词量不够,而是短语量不够。同学常常每个词都知道什么意思,可组成短语就感到茫然,或者即使能理解但反应很慢,严重影响听力的反应速度。例如:miscarriage of justice审判不公,Benjamin Netanyahu内塔尼亚胡(以色列),Palestinian authority president巴勒斯坦民族权力机构主席,Kuala Lumpur(吉隆坡)。还可以尝试其它的方式, 虽然因人而异,但条条道路通罗马,选择适合自己的就是对的、好的方法。
实际上听力水平的提高并非是一蹴而就的, 这不仅需要具备一定的听力基本功, 如捕捉重要信息、进行正确推理、综合归纳推断能力的训练, 而且还要有扎实的语言基础,包括一定的词汇量、对语法和句法的掌握。此外,与会话或情境篇章相关的文化背景知识如英美历史、文化、风俗习惯等以及正确有效的听力习惯的培养如:全神贯注的听、积极的思考和边听边记等;平时也要有意识的每次利用半小时左右时间来练习,熟能生巧是颠扑不破的真理。细水长流,对语言学习的持之以恒才能获得一分耕耘,一份收获的喜悦和快乐。可以根据选项留心对话内容,特别要注意转折性的关联词;在长对话和短文中,要留心重读关键词,注意文章起始和结尾部分的主题句以及提示上下文关系的关联词。养成边听边做记号和做笔记的习惯。有许多细节题型, 尤其是和某个选项有关的数字、年代、时间、人物、地点等要素, 要在选项上作出记号, 留下适当提示,以助后面的答题。 要抓住四级大纲重点的句型和词组。不求听懂每个单词, 碰到没听清楚的地方要先放过去, 注意下面的内容。

TEST 25
Section A
Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C), and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
1. W: These new glasses are giving me headaches.
M: Mine did, too, at first. That should wear off soon.
Q: What does the man tell the woman?
2. M: Is Roberta at home yet?
W: No, she has to work late again today.
Q: What does the woman say about Roberta?
3. M: Would you get me through to Dr. Lemon please?
W: I’m sorry, he’s with a patient.
Q: What does the woman mean?
4. W: Would you like to go to the dance with me tonight?
M: I’d love to, but I’m just getting over my cold.
Q: Will the man go dancing with the woman tonight?
5. W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me.
M: Take it easy, Allen. Things will work out.
Q: What does the man advise Allen to do?
6. M: Linda is very quiet. But her brother talks too much.
W: Yes, you are right and he isn’t friendly either.
Q: What’s their opinion of Linda’s brother?
7. M: Janet is quite interested in camping, isn’t she?
W: Yes, she often goes for weeks at a time.
Q: What does the woman say about Janet?
8. M: It’s seven o’clock already. Mary should be home by now.
W: Oh, I forgot to tell you that she called this afternoon and told me she was going to a party at her classmate’s house and wouldn’t be home until 10.
Q: What did Mary say she was going to do?
Now you will hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Good afternoon, madam. How can I help you?
W: Erm, well, I seem to have lost my handbag.
M: Oh, I’m sorry.
W: Have you seen a brown bag?
M: I’m afraid, madam, at the present time nothing has been handed in, but if you’d like to give me a description, I can write it down.
W: OK. It, it’s a brown bag.
M: Brown.
W: And it’s er, it’s leather and it has a flap that comes over the top. It’s er, a shoulder bag.
M: Fine. Have you got anything inside it that would identify it?
W: Well, my passport’s in there and er, my money. I mean all my money is in there. I have about three hundred pounds cash.
M: I see.
W: Erm, my passport and my money, erm. Oh, I, I have a little address book and my name is in the front.
M: Fine. And where did you leave it?
W: I think I left it in the café.
M: And when was that?
W: About 12:30, I think.
M: I’m sure it will turn up. Now could you tell me your name, please?
W: Henderson. Julie Henderson. I’m in Room 216.
M: All right, Mrs. Henderson. We will let you know as soon as we find it. Thank you very much.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the talk?
10. Which one of the following items does the handbag not contain?
11. Where does the lady leave her handbag?#p#副标题#e#
Conversation Two
W: I think continuing education is for innovative adults.
M: That’s interesting. I always thought of continuing education as training sessions for teachers to update their knowledge or for workers to fit themselves for new jobs.
W: There are those, too. But I mean people who personally choose to take continuing education, those who pay out of their own pockets because they decide, at a mature age, that life needs a little polishing up.
M: You mean like Marie who worked as a nurse for 25 years? At 45 she decided to go to university and then go for an MBA and is now the Chief Nurse. She earns double the salary, but has also double the trouble.
W: Exactly. Someone who has the courage to say, “Hey, I don’t want to die doing only this!” You know, someone who wants to use 99% rather than 60% of his or her potential.
M: It does take guts to return to studying as a working adult. I mean, you have family responsibilities, usually a job, and suddenly, you have to study and pass exams again.
W: That’s why I think continuing education is for people with initiative.
M: Well, count me out. I’m for live-and-let-live. So I’ll never make big money, but I earn enough to lead a good life. I’d rather go and learn to be a carpenter so when I retire I can make furniture or something like that.
W: Well, that’s a kind of continuing education. It doesn’t all have to be intellectual. The philosophy behind continuing education is that you’re never too old to learn. But of course we return to learn what we enjoy.
M: If you put it that way, I’m definitely for continuing education. I mean, I have no regrets as a dentist. But if I had another chance, I might choose architecture or art rather than medicine. I guess with continuing education I can try to get the best of both at different stages in my life!
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12. What is the main topic of this conversation?
13. By saying “She earns double the salary, but has also double the trouble,” What does the man mean?
14. What would the man do for his continuing education?
15. At what age did Marie began to work as a nurse?
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Los Angeles today is the second largest city in America, spreading over 464 square miles along the southern California coast. It is the center of the entertainment industry, and it has a balmy climate of mostly sunny days. But there was a time when Los Angeles was nothing more than a tiny Indian village.
The Spanish expedition searching for Monterey Bay camped there the night of August 1, 1769. Twelve years later, other Spaniards started a settlement at the village, which remained unchanged for decades.
Yankee sea traders used the settlement as a port, and the California gold rush brought some new economic life to the village, but the town remained quite small. It was not until the completion of the transcontinental railroads in 1869, and the discovery of oil in the 1890s, that the population began to grow. Later, during the two world wars, Los Angeles experienced more growth, in part because of the new airplane industry. At about the same time, the arrival of two New York motion picture producers in search of sunny weather marked the beginning of an entertainment industry that has become a multibillion-dollar industry today.
In just the past 100 years, this tiny sea village has grown into the sprawling metropolis that we know today.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is this talk about?
17. What two factors caused the town to begin to grow?
18. Approximately how many years ago did Los Angeles begin growing into a large city?
Passage Two
Norman E. Borlaug was the first agricultural scientist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and the fifteenth American to do so. He was born in 1914 in Iowa, the son of a farming family. In 1940, Borlaug earned his doctorate degree in plant pathology, and a few years later he was chosen by the Rockefeller Foundation to go abroad to help introduce new agricultural technology to farmers who were growing wheat.
Borlaug’s goal was to improve the quality of low-yielding wheat that some farmers had been growing for centuries, and he accomplished his goal. He developed new dwarf and semi-dwarf wheat that had stronger stems and could hold heavier heads of grain. In Mexico, for instance, the new methods resulted in doubled wheat yields. As a result Mexico changed from a country with a wheat shortage to one that was a wheat exporter. For the introduction of these new wheat-growing methods Borlaug was dubbed “father of the green revolution”.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. Which of the following was Borlaug’s goal?
20. What helped finance Borlaug’s trip abroad?
21. What did Borlaug do when he left the United States?
Passage Three
Robert recently attended a lecture on safety at a neighborhood center. The speaker was detective Garcia of the New York Police Department. Here is what he said.
The first thing you need to do is to get to know your neighbors. Don’t be shy. Introduce yourself, especially to people who live in your building. We people who live in large cities are often reluctant to make friends, but it may save our lives later. So make sure that you know your neighbors and that they know you.
Second, don’t carry a lot of money with you. If you’re a man, put your wallet in your front pocket; it’s harder for a pickpocket to lift it out without your knowing. Women, get a purse with straps that you can slip over your shoulder and under your arm. Don’t carry a small purse that a robber can grab from you easily.
Third, if you are mugged, don’t resist. I wish people would listen to me when I say that. A month ago a fifty-year-old man ended up in a hospital because he thought he could beat a mugger in a fight. But if he hadn’t tried to be brave, that probably wouldn’t have happened. Don’t try to be a karate expert. Give the mugger what he wants. As soon as he leaves, call the police. Report any lost credit cards without delay.
Finally, remember that there’s safety in numbers. Try to avoid dark, deserted streets at night. Also, do not get on empty subway cars. If you’re traveling at night, get on the car with the conductor or the motorman.
Some New Yorkers like to say that the city is a very dangerous place. There is some danger, yes, but if you’re careful and pay attention, you should do all right.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. Who gave the lecture on safety?
23. What can we infer about city citizens from the lecture?
24. What would you do if you lost your credit cards to the mugger?
25. What can we conclude from this lecture?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time you should listen for its general idea. Then listen to the passage again. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33 with the exact words you have just heard. For the blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Foot massage parlors are sprouting up all over China. In big cities, like Beijing, there are shops on many street (26) corners, and foot massage chain stores employ thousands of workers. This (27) mushrooming industry is producing thousands of new jobs for the blind, who traditionally in Asia have been trained to do massage.
The Chinese government says more than five million people work in the foot massage (28) trade. Most of them come from poor rural areas, and getting jobs in the city rubbing other people’s feet offers a way out of poverty.
Workers at some shops have only (29) minimal training, leaving them wide open to competition from (30) highly trained blind massage therapists, who promise to deliver medicinal (31) benefits at a competitive price. Cao Jun has been blind from birth and he (32) owns three foot massage parlors. “We have an advantage in terms of touching and feeling, so we are very confident that we do a better job than (33) ordinary people,” he says.
Massage has traditionally been considered a profession for the blind in China, Japan and other Asian nations. Now (34) the Chinese government is encouraging the blind to take up massage as an occupation that will allow them to live independently. (35) Special massage schools have set up four-year programs, giving sightless students far more training than their sighted counterparts.
Mr. Cao says his 10-year-old business is strictly for medicinal massage based on ancient Chinese theories of reflexology, which say (36) that points on the feet correlate to parts of the body and that specialized foot rubs, which hit the different points, promote overall health.

英语听力是英语学习中比较重要的一部分,也是过去被忽视的一部分。那么初中英语听力要怎么学习呢?下面读文网小编为大家带来初中英语听力学习方法技巧,希望对你有所帮助!
它讲究的是方法和效率。首先,我们要学会泛听和精听的结合。在我们听力练习的计划中要适当的安排泛听和精听,针对不同的题型我们也要采取不同的听的方式。例如,对于会考到细节题的短文,我们要精听;对于考主题的文章我们就泛听。当然,“策略”还包括许多学习的小窍门。比如我们在听短文时,心里要怀着“what, who, which, when, where, why, how”,也就是七个“W”来听,就能很快掌握大意。
最后还要强调一下发音。听力考试中总会有辨音题。总的来说,这个题型不难,但如果我们的发音不正确就会出错。千万别忽视发音问题,自己最好将一些容易混淆的音标对比进行练习,把相应的单词总结出来。初中英语中听力的学习非常重要
