2018年12月英语四级听力真题解析：长对话
一、Conversation One:
1.主旨内容：
两位学生就上课如何集中注意力进行了探讨。女生提出在听讲时要记笔记，才能够把老师讲解的内容记住，并且在必要情况甚至可以画无意义的线条来使自己集中注意力；在家学习时需要将知识大声读出来，这些都是通过肢体动作辅助作用来记忆知识。
2.参考原文：
M:Mr.Brown’s lectures are so boring.
W:Yes, he is not a very exciting speaker. But the subject is interesting.
M:Duringevery one of his lectures, I try to listen. I really try. But after about 10minutes my mind begins to wander and I lose concentration. But I see that youseem to be OK. How do you stay focused through the entire hour?
W: Well, what I do is keep my pen moving.
M:What do you mean?
W:It’s a method of active concentration I read about. One of the most effectiveways to concentrate is to write things down. But it has to be done by hand, nottyping on a keyboard.You see writing byhand forces you to actually engage with what you’re learning in a more physicalway.
M:Do you review your notes afterwards then?
W:Sometimes, but that’s not important. My notes may or may not be useful but thepoint is that by writing down what Mr. Brand says I can follow his line ofthinking more easily. In fact, sometimes I draw a little too.
M:Youdraw in class and that helps me pay attention?
W: Yes, honestly it works for me. I just drawlittle lines and nonsense really. It was also in that article I read. It cankeep the mind active, prevent getting bored and help to concentrate. Againthe point is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving. If I’m at home and Ineed to study what I do is read out loud. Ithas a similar effect to writing by hand. It helps memorize information in aphysical way.
Question8.What does the man think of Mr. Brown’s lectures?
Question9. What does the woman do during Mr. Brown’s lectures?
Question10. Why does the woman draw in class?
Question11.What does the woman say about reading out loud?
3.解析：
本段长对话是考生比较熟悉的学校学习场景和知识点。第一题类问男生对于老师课程的观点，在首回合第一句给出答案，所听即所得。后面就是问答类型，重点听回答者，也就是本篇中的女士给出答案。由于最后两题答案在同一回合给出，比较接近，因此需要考生迅速反应，有一定难度。
二、Conversation Two
1.主旨内容：
两个人就印度旅游相关信息展开讨论，讲到了泰姬陵的来源和对其印象，印度的交通情况以及印度食物。

I think it was during the 1600 and theprincess at that time died while giving birth to her 14th child. The Emperorloved the princess so much and was so sad when she died that he ordered thepalace to be built in her honor.
M:Wow. That sounds very romantic. It looks amazing.

3.解析：
本段对话是以问答形式展开，因此在听答案的过程中只需要重点关注女士所讲的即可。在这部分相对信息量比较大，但是有两道题目都考察到了有关原因，因此原因类型的题目在长对话中仍然是考生需要关注的重点。
温馨提示：“考试采取“多题多卷”模式，试题顺序不统一，请依据试题进行核对。”
