大學聯考英語聽力測試部分在整套試題中佔有重要地位。它要求考生從頭到尾按順序往下聽，在有限的時間內做出選擇，沒有“回頭看”的餘地。多年的高三教學工作筆者發現學生長期進行聽力訓練並且掌握一些基本的聽力應試技巧，對於在考場上正常發揮水平，取得理想的成績尤為重要。下面就結合近幾年的大學聯考英語聽力試題為大家介紹一些應試技巧和解題的基本方法。
一、學會預測
預測是在做聽力理解之前根據各種暗示，如所給答案選項，段落或對話標題等已有知識，對即將聽到的段落或對話內容進行預測。
1. 從答案選項中預測：
Q: What does Tom do?
A. He’s a truck driver. B. He’s a ship captain. C. He’s a pilot.
錄音原文： W: Tom flew to Anchorage last night, then took some passengers from there to Dallas . M: Yeah, but he couldn't land because the airport in Dallas was snowed in. 從選項看，問題應是關於職業方面的，再從flew, passengers, airport這些資訊詞中可知道Tom的職業。
2. 從說話人口氣預測：
在A,B兩人的對話中，如果B是附和或贊成，往往說“Yes”，“I agree”，“Sure”，“I think so”等。但如A用否定句，B表同意時則用“No”，“Neither / Nor?”等。
例如： A: Harvey doesn't seem to fit into this class. B: No, he is really a fish out of water.
二、做簡要筆記
聽錄音時快速，準確，簡要地記下有關資訊(包括數字，人名，地名，關鍵詞)，前提是不要影響跟聽速度，採用自己習慣的符號。
例：How much will the man pay for the tickets?
A.$18 B. $24 C. $30
原文：W: Tickets for the movie are $ 6 for adults, half price for children. M: All right, I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children, please. 筆記可簡化為：$ 6 A(A代表adult)，C代表children,3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half C(2)
三、聽清資料，簡要記錄，加以運算。
在獲取時間資訊時，不要誤把會話中提到的時間簡單確定為問題的答案
大學聯考聽力考查時間時往往要進行簡單的時間換算。
At what time does the train to Leeds leave?
A. 3:00 B. 3:15 C. 5:00
錄音原文：
W: Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to Manchester is? M: Sure. Well, it's 3 now. The next train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours, but you can take the train to Leeds which leaves in 15 minutes, and then get off at Manchester on the way. 對話中提到了三個時間It's 3 now, in 2 hours，in 15 minutes.
現在是3點，開往Manchester的火車要兩小時後才開，即The train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours。若簡單機械地把3點和2點相加，會得出火車5點才開的錯誤選項C。
數字類問題分辨別類和計算類兩種：
1. 要注意區分-teen和-ty及four和five的.發音;辨別多位數，如電話號碼，門牌等
2. 計算時間，錢款，距離，年齡，人或物的數量等;聽出數字間的關係，更要聽清問題，因為對運算方法的要求通常寓於問題中;注意more, less, as much(many)as, another, double, a couple of; to, past, quarter; 記住時間是60進位制 如出現幾個數字，應注意鑑別問的是那一個。
例：At what time does the office open?
A. At 8:15 B. At 8:30 C. At 7:45
從常識判斷，辦公時間往往以整點開始，而不會在幾點幾分。
聽力原文：
M: I wonder why the office is still not open. W: But it's not yet eight. In fact, it's only a quarter to eight.
四、抓住關鍵詞，對症下藥
聽力考試常出現以Where提問的問句，考生要通過對話的具體情節和背景判斷對話發生的地點。一般來說，特定場景的用語和關鍵詞是基本固定的，考生要對此多瞭解，熟悉明白。在遇到Where does the conversation take place?/ Where does sb. work? What’s his job?之類的問題時，就會派上用場。
如： restaurant: menu, bill, order, tip, hamburger, beer, soup hotel: luggage, single room, double room, room number, check in(out) hospital: take medicine, temperature, pill, headache, fever, examine post office: mail, deliver, stamp, envelope, parcel airport: flight, take off, land, luggage railway station :round trip, single trip, sleeping car store: on sale, size, wear, color, style, price, change，bargain, fit school: professor, exam, course, term, dining hall, playground library: librarian, renew, date, shelf, magazine, seat 對於前五道簡短對話，要根據問題的型別，從第二個講話者的答語中來捕捉關鍵詞
如：What’s the man going to do?
A. Run to the airport. B. Wait for another bus. C. Hurry to get the next bus.
根據選項看，對話似乎與bus有關，主要資訊捕捉範圍是在“Hurry”或“Run”和“Wait”之間。聽音範圍明顯縮小。
原文M: Excuse me, can you tell me when the next bus leaves for the airport? W: It leaves in three minutes. If you run, you might catch it. 關鍵詞“run”和“catch”正好對上答案C的“Hurry”和“get”。
五、較長對話和短文的理解
抓聽首句和首段有助於整體理解文章;結尾部分所給出的資訊不一定是題目的正確答案，可能只是一個陷阱;推理思路要正確;語境中抓要點。 獨白部分(即第十段材料)可分為四種類型： *人物與故事型：敘述人物的經歷和成就，要抓住故事發展線索，所問問題多屬事實細節題 *普通知識型：內容涉及面較廣，問題以事實細節題居多 *社會科學型：涉及到文化教育，社會治安，代溝問題，就業問題，婦女問題，人口問題，環境保護，國家發展等
問題常涉及獨白的主題或題目，故需作推理判斷。 *科普知識型：主要涉及自然科學，如生物，物理，海洋，計算機，醫學，氣象，科學發明等教你怎樣練習英語聽力英語聽說。如遇專業詞彙和術語，可利用語境線索猜詞義。
六、果斷選題，學會放棄
相信第一感覺，當機立斷，決不能反反覆覆，甚至影響後面的答題，切記不可因某個小題未聽懂而患得患失，不可因一題失多題，造成一步跟不上，步步皆踏空的結果。 總之，只要掌握基本的聽力技巧和方法、排除一切干擾，全身心地投入語境、持之以恆地堅持大學聯考全真模擬聽力訓練，大學聯考中定能取得理想的成績。
