12月英語六級(jí)聽力破題指導(dǎo)：短文聽力與聽寫

　　In January 1989, the Community of European Railways presented their proposal for a high speed pan-European train network extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to Poland by the year 2020. (第26題考點(diǎn)。注意train network在選項(xiàng)中反映)If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in Europe. Journeys between major cities will take half the time they take today.(第27題考點(diǎn)，注意half在選項(xiàng)中的反映)Brussels will be only one and a half hours from Paris. The quickest way to get from Paris to Frankfurt, from Barcelona to Madrid will be by train, not plane. When the network is complete, it will integrate three types of railway line: totally new high speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, upgraded lines which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225 kilometers per hour, and existing lines for local connections and distribution of freight. If businesspeople can choose between a three-hour train journey from city-center to city-center and a one-hour flight, they’ll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane any more. If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to-and-from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first.(第28題考點(diǎn)。說明短途的火車的優(yōu)勢(shì)大于短途的飛機(jī)。請(qǐng)注意此處strike的含義為“罷工”) Since France introduced the first 260-kilometer-per-hour high speed train service between Paris and Lyons in 1981(第29題考點(diǎn)。), the trains have achieved higher and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high speed trains. If people accept the Community of European Railways’ plan, the 21 century will be the new age of the train.

　　分析：

　　這是一篇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的六級(jí)短文聽力，詞匯、主題、深度都要比四級(jí)高，但是破題方法卻如出一轍。

　　第26題：

　　本題是首題，所以當(dāng)然對(duì)應(yīng)原文的首句。除了視聽一致的使用外，原文中的high speed pan-European train network(泛歐洲高速火車網(wǎng))被選項(xiàng)替換成了express train network throughout Europe(遍布?xì)W洲的特快列車網(wǎng)絡(luò))。這是同義替換原則的使用。Express在其他聽力題目中還有快遞的含義，請(qǐng)注意。

　　第28題：

　　本題目考察的是考生真正的聽力理解能力。原文：“If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to-and-from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first.”(如果你計(jì)算航班飛行時(shí)間、辦理登機(jī)手續(xù)時(shí)間、往返機(jī)場(chǎng)時(shí)間，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)和坐火車比沒有任何區(qū)別。如果因?yàn)樘鞖�、空中航班過多或罷工而導(dǎo)致飛機(jī)遲到，火車乘客會(huì)首先到達(dá)目的地。)這個(gè)長(zhǎng)難句的意思就是說明：短途來講，火車更有優(yōu)勢(shì)，更快。而選項(xiàng)考的就是這個(gè)分析能力。
