英语专业四级听写50篇 前 言
听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15％的比重，是考试的重要组成部分。 说起听写，正在准备和已经参加过英语专业四级考试的同学会说：
\我能明白听写的内容，可写的时候就是跟不上！\短文大意我明白，可是有的语我不会写。这只反映出了问题的两个方面。一是听写速度不够快。二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。但是，这些不是问题的全部。在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中，很容易发现学生失分的具体问题：
（1）没听懂，没听好，听写速度跟不上，写出的内容断断续续不连贯，学生因此大量失分；
（2）有的词汇没听懂，拼写不够准确，这导致听写失分； （3）时态错误导致失分； （4）单复数不准确导致失分； （5）没有注意断句或专有名词，句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分；
（6）没有注意原文冠词的使用，书写时漏掉冠词导 致失分；
（7）没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分； （8）没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。
上述问题的产生有的是缺乏训练造成的，如书写速度跟不上。有的则是语言基础较差造成的，如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写等则多是粗心大意造成的。 听写部分能提高吗？
当然能！而且提高的空间很大。
笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究，从一开始所带的教学班参加四级考试超过全国院校平均通过率28．2个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12．5个百分点开始，所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito％，平均成绩、优秀率始终名列前茅。最近一次所带的教学班参加四级统考，又考出了很好的成绩，通过率超过全国院校平均水平26石个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校13．6个百分点，而且在十几个平行班中平均成绩是最高的，优秀人数也是最多的。在四级考试中，听写一项的成绩也不例外，每次均位居第一，本项目满分15分，所带班级平均成绩能够达到14分。
是不是学生基础很好？统计表明，和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别优势。
教学经验表明，听写成功的关键是训练方法和体现训练方法的训练材料。 听写训练过程中无论是老师还是学生都有必要注意以下几点：
二．扭握淤轿肘虚度 大纲要求第一遍用正常速度朗读，即每分钟120个词，第M遍和第三遍用稍慢的速度朗读让学生书写，第四遍用正常速度朗读让学生检查。但是在训练时则不必严格按照规定进行，也可以适当加快速度，这样可以提高学生的适应能力。
2．级叙间愿村周 大纲规定第二、第三遍的间隔为15秒。但在训练时一定要尽可能缩短间隔，这样可以增加学生的紧迫感，有利于书写速度的提高。

3．坚持虚旬洲综 虽然大纲规定读完句子或分句可以出现停顿间隔，但在训练时最好整句训练，不在或少在分句之后停顿。这样有利于训练学生对整句的理解和记忆，克服听见一词写一词的不良习惯，提高书写的速度。
4．坚并店荫洲弟 四级听写失分很多时候是源于细小的问题。听写训练的检查环节非常重要，学生务必认真检查书写的内容，检查出时态、拼写、单复数、冠词、大小写、单数第三人称等各种失误，反省失误的原因，这样可以促使学生不断总结经验，有针对性地克服缺点，不断进步。
5．所写洲忽 听写训练是一种综合语言训练，它能够训练学生的听力理解能力，它能够暴露学生的语言问题，它能起到巩固语言知识和提高语言技能的作用。学生的时态、冠词、大小写、单复数等语言知识的漏洞在听写中会暴露无遗，学生的听辨技能、拼写技能及组织句子的技能会得到综合训练。因此，增加听写训练量不仅有助于听写成绩的提高，更重要的是它能提高学生的综合语言技能。 在注意方写工整 卷面情况是影响主现测试的因素之一。书写训练过程中一定要注意整洁清晰，从一开始就要训练用圆珠笔或钢笔按要求书写，训练一遍书写整齐工整的能力。
本书是根据四级考核目标，针对四级考试的特点选材的，题材广泛多样；材料是由专业录制人员根据上述的训练原则录制的；每一训练篇目之后都提供了生词的读音、词性、词义以及与词相关的短语或搭配，以便满足学生扩大语汇的需求。本书在附录1提供了听写训练简便易行的评估方法；附录2专门设计了学生训练的自我评估表，全程监控学习过程，增强学生对问题的意识；附录3提供了四级考试大纲对听写的相关规定，便于学生了解考试的要求、目标及形式；附录4提供了提高听写技能的其他一些技巧。
本套训练材料完全是针对英语专业四级听写设计的人篇目的正常朗读到四级要求很高的单句朗读和间隔的把握，这些都是非常讲究的。先进的压缩光盘，庞大的容量使得这套材料得以和读者见面。无论训练量的保证还是训练技巧的体现，本套训练材料在类似的图书材料中都是非常独特的。相信它对提高语言技能和应试听写技能会起到非常积极的作用。虽经过我们的努力，但材料中难免还有疏漏。希望大家批评指正。

1 Town and Country Life in England
There is a big difference between town life and country life in England. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others.
In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in London are often very lonely. This is because people go to different places in the evenings and at weekends. If you walk through the streets in the centre of London on Sunday, it is like a town without people. One is sorry for old people living on their own .They could die in their homes and would not be discovered for weeks or even months. (154 words)

Passage 2 A Change in Women's Life
The important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

Passage 3 A Popular Pastime of the English People
One of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what they do with their non-working time.
Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer, or autumn are likely to see gardens all the way along the railway lines. There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them.
But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves, If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other's gardens is a popular pastime with the English. (144 words)

Passage 4 British and American Police Officers
Real policemen, both in Britain and the U. S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they see on TV---if they ever get home in time.
Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them.
The first difference is that a policeman's real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what's more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty-or not of stupid, unimportant crimes. (177 words) Useful Words and Expressions: think much of 重视，尊重
