听力 Part 1 题型

Fifteen short dialogues, each with one question and four written options; audio plays once. The correct option paraphrases what was said, so match meaning rather than repeated words.

但是/不过 转折信号

Contrast markers that often introduce the speaker's real point. When you hear them, expect the answer to lie in the clause that follows, not in the earlier statement.

其实/实际上 更正信号

These adverbs signal a correction of an earlier assumption. The information after them usually overrides what was said before, making it a frequent location of the correct answer.

数字陷阱 第二次提及

Price, time, or quantity questions often state one figure and then revise it with 后来 or 最后. Record the final figure, since the first number is usually a distractor.

态度题 语气词

Questions about attitude are answered from tone and word choice. 埋怨 shows complaint, 讽刺 shows sarcasm, 无奈 shows resignation, and 赞成 shows approval; match the option to that stance.

不得不 双重否定

A double-negative pattern meaning must or have no choice. Similar forms include 无不 (all without exception) and 未必 (not necessarily); misreading them reverses the sentence meaning.

一举两得

A chengyu meaning one action achieves two benefits. In listening it typically appears in evaluation or suggestion contexts, and options paraphrase it as gaining two advantages at once.

迫不及待

A chengyu meaning too impatient to wait. It describes eagerness to act and often signals the speaker's strong motivation, which answers why-questions in longer listening passages.

笔记法 谁-什么-为什么

During Parts 2-4, note the speaker's role, the problem raised, and the proposed solution. Questions usually ask the reason or main point, which these three notes directly supply.

自相矛盾

A chengyu meaning self-contradictory. It appears when a speaker's two statements conflict, and listening options may describe the person as inconsistent or unreliable.

阅读 Part 1 句子插入

Ten items require placing a sentence into a passage gap. Decide by cohesion: pronouns like 这 or 其, conjunctions like 因此, and repeated key nouns point to the correct slot.

阅读 Part 2 近义词辨析

Ten items test choosing among near-synonyms. Decide by fixed collocation and transitivity, for example 引起重视 rather than 产生重视, not by a single dictionary gloss.

阅读 Part 3 匹配题策略

Ten items match five questions to two passages. Read the questions first, then scan for the names, figures, and claims each question mentions instead of reading both passages fully.

阅读 Part 4 主旨题

Twenty comprehension items include main-idea questions. The answer must cover the whole passage, so reject options that only restate one detail or add claims the text never makes.

词义题 代入法

For word-in-context items, substitute each option into the original sentence and check whether the surrounding logic still holds; the option that preserves coherence is correct.

发挥作用

A fixed verb-object collocation meaning to play a role or have an effect. It commonly appears with 重要作用 or 积极作用 and is a frequent blank in Part 2 synonym items.

引起重视

A collocation meaning to draw attention or concern. 引起 pairs with abstract nouns like 重视, 关注, 争议, and 反响, which distinguishes it from 产生 in fill-in items.

循序渐进

A chengyu meaning to proceed step by step in proper order. It describes learning or reform methods and often contrasts with 急于求成 in reading passages.

潜移默化

A chengyu meaning to influence imperceptibly over time. It typically describes culture, environment, or education shaping people gradually, and signals a slow, unnoticed effect.

举足轻重

A chengyu meaning to hold a decisive position of influence. It describes important roles or figures and often appears in passages about economics, policy, or key individuals.

层出不穷

A chengyu meaning to emerge one after another endlessly. It usually modifies problems, phenomena, or new products and implies abundance rather than rarity.

因地制宜

A chengyu meaning to adapt measures to local conditions. It appears in passages about policy, agriculture, or development and stresses fitting action to a specific context.

相辅相成

A chengyu meaning two things complement and complete each other. It describes a mutually reinforcing relationship and is often paired with 相互促进 in argumentative passages.

阅读时间分配

Fifty items in fifty minutes means roughly one minute each. Finish Parts 1 and 2 in about twenty minutes so the longer Part 4 passages have enough remaining time.

一丝不苟

A chengyu meaning meticulous and not the least bit negligent. It describes work attitude or personal style and usually appears as praise in descriptive reading passages.

书写 缩写任务

The single writing task: read a roughly 1,000-character narrative in ten minutes, then rewrite it in about 400 characters in thirty-five minutes, without the source text.

缩写 保留要素

Keep the main characters, the central event, the turning point, and the result. Drop dialogue, scenery description, and repeated details, which consume characters without adding content points.

直接引语转间接

Convert quoted speech to reported speech by removing quotation marks and shifting pronouns and time words, for example 他说：“我明天去。” becomes 他说他第二天要去。

缩写 连接词

Use 首先, 随后, 后来, 最终, 结果, and 因此 to compress scene-by-scene narration into a compact sequence, keeping the summary within the 400-character limit.

不得添加观点

A summary must not add opinions, commentary, or morals absent from the source. Invented content is scored as inaccurate and costs content points even if the language is correct.

字数控制 段落

Four hundred characters is roughly eight to ten short paragraphs of two or three sentences. Falling far short loses points, and writing beyond the answer space is penalized.

人名地名一致

Use the same character and place names throughout the summary. Do not replace proper nouns with synonyms, since the reader must be able to follow who did what.

十分钟阅读 列提纲

During the reading phase, note only the skeleton: who, what happened, the turning point, and the ending. Write keywords rather than full sentences, since the source is removed afterward.
