备考策略一：
　　做完真题分析听力原文时, 多总结同义替换(同根词以及同义词之间的替换)，比如hardly，barely，rarely，seldom等，并重点关注出现频率较多较难的短语,比如四级听力中考察过三次的短语stay awake.
　　例：[2010年6月第17题]
　　(A) Few students understand Prof. Johnson's lectures.
　　(B) Few students meet Prof. Jonson's requirements.
　　(C) Many students find Prof. Johnson's lectures boring.
　　(D) Many students have dropped Prof. Johnson's class.
　　听力原文：
　　W: You're taking a course with Professor Johnson. What's your impression so far?
　　M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee.
　　Q: What does the man imply?
　　解析：通过听力原文中的划线句子,不难看出,正确答案为C选项.该结构曾在01年1月第5题和02年1月第9题中出现过，且均为考点。而当时是以barely able to stay awake的形式出现的。这就要求考生再去多总结一些同义替换，四级听力中类似表示否定的词，除了上文中出现过的hardly和barely，还常考的有rarely和seldom。多掌握些类似词和短语，很多小对话都能迎刃而解了。
　　备考策略二：
　　听力考试历来喜欢分场景进行考察。这就要求考生多去熟悉一些常见的场景词汇。例如校园，职场，机场，酒店，餐馆，健身房等场景的词汇。
　　例：[2009年12月第16题]
　　(A) She must have paid a lot for the gym.
　　(B) She is known to have a terrific figure.
　　(C) Her gym exercise has yielded good results.
　　(D) Her effort to keep fit is really praiseworthy.
　　听力原文：
　　W: I've been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape.
　　M: You look terrific. It seems that your effort has paid off.
　　Q: What does the man imply about the woman?
　　解析：通过划线部分的听力原文不难看出正确选项为C，但这道题难点在于很多考生不认识诸如gym(健身房)，figure(身材)，work out(锻炼身体)，pay off(取得成功)等健身场景的词汇。
　　最后，小对话实在听不懂的情况下，考生采取避开那些明显被播读到的选项的方法，比直接从四个选项中蒙一个，正确概率相对要高一些。
　　例：[2010年12月第17题]
　　(A) He owns a piece of land in the downtown area.
　　(B) He has got enough money to buy a house.
　　(C) He can finally do what he has dreamed of.
　　(D) He is moving into a bigger apartment.
　　听力原文：
　　M: I did extremely well on the sale of my downtown apartment. Now, I have enough money to buy that piece of land I've had my eye on and build a house on it。
　　W: Congratulations!Does that mean you'll be moving soon?
　　Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
　　解析：这道题的正确答案为C选项，另外三个选项均被明显播读，所以被排除。

　　23. Why did the woman find the job appealing?
　　24. What had the woman been doing in Geneva?
　　25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?
　　另，长对话历来极喜欢考职场和校园两个场景。考生平时可多去积累些相关场景词汇和表达，可有效提高做题正确率。
　1，视听一致(听到什么选什么)
　　2，同义替换(同根词或同义词进行替换)
　　3，顺序出题原则
　　4，疑问语气或之后答句易出考点
　　5，转折词或因果关系的词后易出考点,
复合式听写(compound dictation)
　　题目序号：36-46 所占比例：11%(前8题每题0.5%，后3题每题2%)
　　解题步骤：
　　1，利用最后一篇短文听力的问题时间及复合式听写的Directions时间预览整篇文章，锁定1-3个高频词。(高频词很可能在之后三个句子中出现)
　　2，第一遍放音时：
　　前八个单词：只写单词的前几个字母，否则会失去听到下个单词的时间。
　　后三个句子：写出首尾单词，若出现之前锁定的高频词，可只写其大写字母，节省时间。
　　3， 第二遍放音时：
　　前八个单词：补全。
　　后三个句子：补全，听到什么写什么。
　　4， 第三遍放音时：
　　前八个单词：补全
　　后三个单词：继续补全。
　　5、最后誊写时，检查名词单复数，动词的时态(可根据空格前后的动词时态判断);不会写的形容词或副词放弃;名词或动词尽量找替代词进行补全，保证所写句子结构的完整性
