听下面一段独白，回答第18至20题。

Text 10 M: Well, I guess there are three things that I cannot live without. You saw me playing with my new toy just now. It’s my iPod touch and it is great. I often take long bus journeys at the weekend. And on this little thing I can watch a movie, and that just makes bus journeys fly by. It also has wireless Internet so I can carry it around, and in a coffee shop I can check my email. And it is also able to play music, although I don’t listen to music much. That’s one. My iPod touch is with me all the time. It’s kind of connected to my No. 2. No. 2 is the Internet. I couldn’t live without the Internet. I’m online every day reading newspapers, checking out information about things I want to do or see that day, keeping in touch with family and friends, although I don’t do that as much as they would like. The Internet is such a huge part of my life. I can’t imagine what it was like ten or fifteen years ago when nobody was online. No. 3, I suppose, is the sun which sounds a bit meaningless because everything on earth requires the sun. But for me, it’s not so much about getting what plants and animals get from the sun. It’s just being able to enjoy the soft warmth, lying by the pool, letting my mind be empty and clear. Those are my three. How about you?

18. Why does the man always carry his iPod touch?

A. To talk with his friends. B. To pass time enjoyably. C. To work while travelling.

19. What do we know about life ten or fifteen years ago? A. People enjoyed life more.

B. The Internet first came into use then. C. It was harder for people to get in touch online.

20. Why does the man think the sun is very important for his life?

A. It makes him more active. B. It allows him to think over.C. It gives him a feeling of comfort.

2012年9月二级听力考试真题分析报告（百朗时代英语听力研发中心）

2012年9月的二级听力考试，延续了二级考试独有的风格：材料情景化，话题广泛，富有时代气息；题目设计灵活，充分利用了同义转述与选项干扰，语块、信号词、虚拟语气、互动性、语音语调的使用都有体现 与2011年9月、2012年3月的考试相比，难度有所降低，主要原因是难度低的题目略有增加，总体材料长度有所下降，语速偏慢，但学生要考满分仍不容易

一、 考点与难易度分析 （一）考点 本次考试考点分布如下：

考 点 试题数量 具体分布

主旨大意 1 第1题

直接细节 5 第3、4、9、10、15题

间接细节 8 第6、7、8、11、12、16、18、19题 推 断 5 第2、5、14、17、20题

观点态度 1 第13题

由此可以看出，可以直接得出答案的题目仍占少数，多数题目属于灵活题。推断题的数量比3月份下降，主旨大意和观点态度题难度也不大

（二）短对话部分 与前两次相比，短对话试题的难度略有下降，推断题2个，细节题2个，主旨大意题1个，第2、4、5三个题目有一定的难度。第2题的选项干扰强；第4题设问采用了同义转述，题干用normally 对原文中的usually 进行了替换；第5题，材料采用了虚拟语气，正确选项采用了同义转述

（三）长对话与独白部分 长对话与独白试题中，第9、10、15、17题非常简单，这是整套试卷的难度有所下降的重要原因。但第14、20题较难，第14题的正确选项的关键信息需要从上下文境中进行推断，错误选项中出现了干扰词汇，而正确选项中的词语在原文中没有

出现，而是来自于“You know, I should too.”（虚拟语气、省略句）；第20题需要归纳总结。第8、16、18题考生容易误选。第8题需要在听到男士的补充之后再做选择；第16题需要把握话语的进展，排除单纯数字的干扰。第18题干扰项本身是正确的生活常识，很容易误导学生，而正确选项的信息需要对原文进行同义转述。

二、材料与语速 整套材料的字数不到1000字，这也是造成本套题目难度有所降低的一个因素。材料中多处使用了语块、信号词、虚拟语气。Text 9与Text 10 的字数分别为233,248左右，材料新颖，但所配的题目中，有难度很高的第14与第20题，有明显陷阱的第16题与第18题。本套题材料所涉及的话题较为常见，比较有特色的是Text 9和Text 10。Text 9是关于做调查问卷的，内容涉及到健康与体检等；Text 10是介绍生活中不能或缺的东西，内容涉及到ipod touch、网络等高科技给人带来的便利，巧妙的是说话者认为太阳对他来说也是弥足珍贵的。主播仍是Trevor 和Laura ，语速较3月份慢，约为150-155wpm

三、特点

（一）同义转述题数量增加。第4、5、6、7、12、18题都属于同义转述题，在对应的Text 4、 Text 5、 Text 6、Text 8、Text 10材料中，多处使用了可以用于同义转述的词语、语块。第4题的设问用了同义转述，选项A 中的rainy ，容易让学生联想到材料中的wet ，干扰性增强。

（二）利用虚拟语气出题增加到了2题 第5、14题都属于此类。尤其是第14题，虚拟语气、省略与选项干扰叠加，题目难度大大增加。

（三）数字类题型出现了4个，但考查重点不同。第8、9、15、16题都是数字类试题。第9题属于考查辩音的数字题，第15题是直接题，不存在计算问题，很容易。真正有难度的是第8和16题。第8题的新意表现在材料互动性明显，学生很容易选A ，而不选B 。第16题存在明显的陷阱，从No. 1到No. 2之后，借用Well, let’s move on to No. 7，然后又使用Last question，使一道简单的数字统计题变得扑朔迷离。

（四）题目设计富有新意。第11题，题干“What do we know about the woman’s old job?” 通过对新工作的描述对比得出旧工作的特点，有别于传统的设问，从而增加了灵活性

第16题设计也可谓独特。从No. 1到No. 2之后，借用Well, let’s move on to No. 7，然后又使用Last question，从而造成考生误以为说话者总共讨论了8个问题，实际上只有4个而已

（五）反复考查总结题。最近几次考试，都有一道需要在听懂的基础上进行总结的题目，有难度。本次试卷中第20题：Why does the man think the sun is very important for his life?而原文给的是大量具体的描述：But for me, it’s not so much about getting what plants and animals getting from the sun. It’s just being able to enjoy the soft warmth, lying by the pool, letting my mind be empty and clear. 需要考生进行抽象总结，而后得出答案。同时，这道题巧妙地避开了常识题的嫌疑

四、建议 我们从近几年的二级考试真题来看，总体难易度变化并不大，题目新颖灵活，不管材料的选择与组织，还是题目的设计都不拘一格，没有什么框架而言，考查更多的是学生真实的听力能力与水平，所以学生在平时的训练中：（1）必须选用符合二级考试标准的材料与试题，有针对性地加强听力微技能训练，适应信息密度分布不同材料，适应不同的语速与语音，注意泛听与精听的结合；（2）在英语语言学习的过程中，考生要加强基本功的训练，在读准、掌握好词汇的基础上，把握好语块、信号词、特殊句式、隐含否定、互动与语音语调等。老师还要适当给学生讲一些西方文化知识； (3)老师需要从整体上熟悉和揣摩不同的材料组织、题目设问与选项安排特点

答案：1-5 AABBC 6-10 CABBA 11-15 BBACA 16-20 ACBCC
