这种正误判断题需要在答题前仔细审题，把每个选项中的核心词划下来，以便在

听的时候有强烈的目的性。这里复习几个单词，需要同学们在考前烂熟于心，从

而扫清词汇对于听力理解的障碍：

Livestock,ingredient,legume,soybean,cultivate,hybridization,Indonesia,chiefly,

fermented,protein,curd,cheese,tofu,seasoned,derived,paste,adhesive,poultry,

investigative,unveil.

这道题是中规中矩的“SpotDictation-,同学们平时在做自测题时已经多次遇到，

不应该陌生。但是，根据以往的经验，这种考察拼写的题目丢分现象依然严重。

做题技巧一

I.对于需填写词的前后两个单词要做着重标记,在听的时候一定要重视！

2.单词本身写对了还不够，还需要关注其时态，很多丢分的情况在于不知道加

上第三人称单数“s”或“es”；或者忘记加上“ing”、“ed”；复数变形通常也会成

为丢分点。

提一些单词供复习用一

consultancy,export,subsidiary,ownership,investment,risk,license,facility,conflict,

venture,typical,terminate,demand,potential,scale,adapt,optimise,force,survive,

sustainability.

听力部分考生常犯的错误：

1.不会正确拼写单词：虽然也能根据读音去想拼写，但总不能做到精确；

2.语法不过关，遗漏美键词缀：举个例子，听到licensing,但写成license,ing

没写，过去式后该有-ed的漏掉了（如absorbed写成了absorb）oGoose复数的

不规则变形geese等。

3.听力欠准确：辅音听错，比如depressed听成impressed；明明是短语，但没有

写相应的介词或副词，如takenup写成taken等。

4.有些错误表明学生没听懂/理解上下文的意思，如：worn写成warm,unpleasanl

-pleasant;deal-meal;positive-negative;sold-told等

5）信息搞混淆：比如attendedameetingwiththeMarketingDepartment.对话中也

提及了servicesdepartment,有的同学就写services；

这种令人遗憾的错误表明这些同学没有顾及句子的语法结构。所以，在需要填写

单词的试题部分建议大家不仅要将注意力放在所填的单词上，还有考虑整个句子

的语法结构或上下文，这样不仅可以排除干扰项，避免语法错误，有时还能从上

下文中得到线索，对答案进行合理的猜测。

6）填答案时填错行：比如不会做第五题，却把第六题的答案写上去，造成后面的

答案跟着错。
