大一下第一次听力

2016/03/09-03/15 大一下听力第一次作业

亲爱的童鞋们，

新的一学期又到来了。相信经过上个学期的磨合，大家对于蓝鸽系统的操作模式已经有了很深的认识，并且对于蓝鸽系统对于期末考试成绩的影响也有所体会。希望大家在新的一学期中能吸取上学期的经验教训，踏踏实实地做好每个周的训练，切实把自己的听力能力提高。

本学期的训练内容会增加一个新的部分，也是在专四考试中占有非常大比重的一个内容——短文听写。该部分内容的日常训练方法和评分标准都会在稍后给大家详细说明，请大家仔细阅读。

另，很多同学反应说上学期平时作业有作弊情况的出现，很多同学觉得不公平（因为作弊的同学得了很高的分数，而自己辛辛苦苦做分数反而很低）。对于这个现象，我想给大家说的是——端正心态，因为骗得了全世界却骗不了自己，到底有没有真正学到东西其实自己最清楚。也许抄答案很轻松，但长此以往，你会在不久的将来为自己这样的行为付出较为严重的代价。作业做得不好是能力问题，是可以通过努力进行提高的；但选择用作弊的方法应付自己和他人则是态度问题，这会贻害终生。

Section C Dictation

该部分将是本学期新增加的内容，做法其实和新闻听写一致，但是对于精确度的要求却要更高一些。Dictation是大家在大学二年级考专业四级时的第一个难关。该题总分15分，但每年的全国英语专业平均分不过就5分多。所以要求大家从现在开始需要加强训练。训练方法有两种：

一就是传统的书面听写，如果大家在学有余力的情况下，能将新概念三或者四按照每天一篇的速度听写出来，一两个月就会见到很大的成效；

二则是从口头练习，大家可以将上周练习过的新闻和篇章听写作为早读课的材料，做一种简单的口头练习——shadow reading。也就是说你听到MP3里那篇文章说什么自己就对听到的内容进行跟读。这个练习一方面是可以训练自己的语音语调；二一方面是可以加强大家的短时记忆（这对听力非常重要）。

注意：大家在最初练习的阶段可以落后原文一两个词，到练习得比较熟练的时候就可以落后原文一整句话跟读来训练自己的边听边记忆的能力。希望有心的同学能采纳我所提出的这个训练方法，这种短时记忆的提高对以后三四年级的很多课程都有至关重要的影响（比如口译）。

听写部分的录音都是四遍。第一遍是以正常语速播放，大家在听第一遍的时候千万不要着急动笔写，一定要注意听整篇文章的大意和基本结构，如果是反复出现的key words/phrases大家可以随手记在草稿纸上；第二遍第三遍录音是一句一句读，大家在这个时候才可以开始动笔写，第二遍的时候大家主要关注每个句子的基本结构，争取把句子的主要部分（主语、谓语、宾语等）都写出来，如果是细节信息由遗漏的话大家可以在第三遍朗读的时候进行补充；第四遍录音仍然是以正常语速播放，大家在这一遍的听音中需要对自己所写下的内容查漏补缺，并进行检查（比如时态、语态、单复数、大小写、断句等）。一开始做的时候可能都会觉得有困难，但相信经过练习，会越来越好的。

这部分内容的评分规则是：答案中文章将被分为15个sense groups，每个sense group一分。在一个意群中，出现一个错误扣0.5分，如果出现两个则分数全部扣完；值得注意的是：每个意群最多扣一分，不倒扣，也不累积到其他部分扣分。请大家互评时坚持这个原则，客观公正地为同学打出他们应得的分数。
