雅思听力2020六月真题 四六级都是什么时候考

Woman: Hello! Welcome to the travel depot! How can I help you?

Man: Well, I'm looking for a reasonably priced holiday. I went to South Africa for a month last year and I'd like to see North America this time maybe Canada.

The customer says he went to South Africa last year so the correct answer is C. Now we shall begin, you should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

Woman: Hello! Welcome to the travel Depot! How can I help you?

Man: Well I'm looking for a reasonably priced holiday. I went to South Africa for a month last year and I'd like to see North America, this time maybe Canada but I'm also interested in Europe if the prices to Canada are too expensive. I'm on quite a tight budget, you see.

Woman: Well, you could go to Europe but I'll get some prices for Canada first. I've been to Vancouver, it's lovely at this time of year. And we have some special offers on at the moment.

Man: Ok, well I have some relatives over in Vancouver so that would be good. I can always travel around Europe next year. Besides, it may be a bit too hot for me at this time.

Woman: Right! Let's have a look at some prices then. When would you like to go?

Man: Sometime at the end of next month if possible but I'm quite flexible any time between the 24th and the 31st. I'd like to go for 3 weeks.

Woman: Well, there's lots of availability for those dates. Now if you're concerned about the cost, it's cheaper if you don't mind not flying direct.

Man: Sorry, what do you mean?

Woman: Well, if you don't mind changing planes then it's cheaper.

Man: Oh, well I don't mind changing things.

Woman: In that case, the cheapest flight I have leaves on the 25th and changes in New York. It's only a short stop. You'll be in the airport for two and a half hours. How does that sound?

Man: Sounds good! But what's the price?

Woman: That's four hundred and twelve pounds for a return flight but that doesn't include airport tax. Would you like to arrange any accommodation?

Man: No, I have a cousin I can stay with. All I need is the flight so think I'll take that one.

Woman: Right, I'll just check availability for your return. Three weeks did you say?

Man: Yes, that's right!

Woman: Okay, well there are seats available on the 14th or the 15th. Which one would you prefer?

Man: The 14th sounds good. Yes, from the 25th to the 14th sounds fine.

Woman: Our reserve that for you then. Can you tell me your name, please?

Man: Jim Jackson.

Woman: Is that J A C K S O N?

Man: That's right!

Woman: And can I take an address and contact number?

Man: Yes, it's 10 Allen Road, Oldham. Do you want a home number or my mobile?

Woman: Either's fine.

Man: Well, my home number is 051 433 398.

Woman: Okay, so you booked on flight number VN217 to Vancouver, leaving London Heathrow at 11:35 in the morning on the 25th, and returning on the 14th. So that's 20 nights. Now one more thing.

You now have some time to read questions 7 to 10. You now listen carefully and answer questions 7 to 10.

Woman: Now one more thing, do you have any travel insurance? We recommend all our clients take out some kind of cover even though most people don't end up needing it. Most people have it just for peace of mind.

Man: Well, what type of cover do you have?

Woman: There are two choices, the gold star and the silver star. Our most comprehensive cover is the gold star which will cost twenty-one pounds for the period you are away. It's a good policy because it covers almost all eventualities even extreme sports such as snowboarding and skydiving.

Man: Mm-hmm. What about the silver star?

Woman: That's 18 pounds but it doesn't cover you for any dangerous sports

Man: Well, for three pounds I think I'll take the first one, the gold cover please.

Woman: Right, and is there anything else I can help you with?

Man: Well, do you have any information about what to do in Vancouver?

Woman: Yes, I'm sure there's something on the computer that can help. Ah yes, there's a Shakespeare play at the theater but at $54. It's quite expensive. That starts at 8:00 p.m. The City Museum is really popular too, if you like that kind of thing. They have a special exhibition of Japanese armor next month. The entrance is free and the museum is open from 9 to 4:30 Monday to Saturday. Would you be interested in either of those?

Man: Oh well, maybe.

Woman: Well, I'm sure you can arrange that when you get there anyway. So, it's the flight and the gold star insurance, that's 433 pounds in total.

Man: Can I pay by Visa?

Woman: Yes, of course! If you start….

That is the end of Part 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers. Now turn to Part 2.

Woman: Thank you very much for inviting me here today. I understand that you all own your own home and some of you may be interested in buy an additional property here in the city so I hope you will find the information I am going to share with you useful and informative. I'm going to talk about the situation with property here in the city. The city center of any area is obviously going to have the highest prices and as more and more people are competing for houses in this area, both renting and buying are becoming increasingly difficult. It is most people's dream to one day own their own house. House ownership gives us a feeling of having achieved something and we can see clearly what we have worked so hard for all our lives. It can give us a sense of security for our old age and a knowledge that we will hopefully have something to pass on to our children. However, buying a house, particularly for first-time buyers is becoming more and more difficult. Not only due to increasing prices but also because of the need for a substantial deposit. For younger people, buying their first home is very difficult and often impossible. Young couples who cannot get the deposit together, need to rent for a long time and sometimes forever. While traditionally, homes near the center of the city have been the most desirable people are now looking further a field. This has happened for a number of reasons, the main one being that our style of work is changing along with that of other countries such as the USA. In certain professions, for example sales and computing, it is no longer necessary for people to be based in an office full-time. More and more people are beginning to work from home which means they can avoid the hustle and bustle of rush-hour traffic jams and to work and have more freedom to choose to live in a more rural and peaceful location. My company deals with finding property for both purchasers and renters in the city area. One of my main roles within the company is to find investment properties for people who wish to ahead for their future.

Woman: An investment property is usually at the cheaper end of the market. People buy investment properties not to live in but in addition to their own home in order to rent it out to other people. The advantage of putting your savings into property for the future is that you can be pretty certain that as a long-term investment. Your money will safely increase in value in line with inflation. Many people are turning to property investment instead of pension schemes as we hear the horror stories of countries such as the UK where people have invested all their lives into their pension schemes to find that now their money is relatively worthless. Houses automatically earn what is known as capital gains. That is for every year you owned the property it becomes more valuable and often gives a better rate of interest on your money than most banks do. However, that is not to say there are no risks. There are people who buy property when the market is high and prices are inflated beyond their true value, only to find that when the housing market slows down, they are in a state of negative equity. Negative equity is a situation that arises when you owe more for the house than the house itself is worth. In short, the best devices to be aware of the ups and downs of the housing market. property investment if handled correctly can be enormously satisfying. I hope that this has given you an insight into the basics of the property market. Thank you for listening! Please raise your hand if you have any questions and I will try to be of assistance.

Woman: Thank you very much for tuning in today to listen to our weekly hour on conservation issues. Last week, we spoke about the impact of environmental changes on primates and this week to continue the theme. We have invited Ana specialists by the name of Professor Andrew Ripley all the way from USA to tell us more about the problems faced by the cat family. Professor Ripley thank you very much for joining us today.

Man: It's my pleasure, thank you very much for inviting me.

Woman: So, I understand that you spent a great proportion of your time traveling the globe and monitoring changes in population levels of the cat family.

Man: Yes, that's correct. Of course, we're not talking about the domestic cat here but there man just a cousin such as the lion tiger and Jaguar to name but a few.

Woman: Which member of the cat family do you yourself find to be the most fascinating?

Man: Well, I've spent a lot of time recently studying Jaguars but the lion is still my personal favorite. It is the world's most social cat and unusual in the way in which it chooses to group together with others of its species. Pride of lions basking in the sunshine probably one of people's most vivid perceptions of the African bush.

Woman: Yes, certainly. I totally agree with you.

You now have some time to read questions 25 to 30. Now listen carefully and answer questions 25 to 30.

Woman: Can you tell me the current lion population in Africa these days.

Man: Well, it's very difficult to measure it accurately. The figures range from 100,000 to as few as 30,000 but it's generally estimated that there are 50,000. In order to maintain the population and protect the species from poachers, many move to protected areas.

Woman: Which member of the cat family do you feel is most at risk?

Man: For different reasons, a number of species of the cat family are endangered sometimes due to natural predators or environmental changes but mainly because of the threat of hunters. For example, I'm sure you're aware the bones and body parts of tigers have been and still are traditionally used in medicines in the Far East. Because of this and the demand for medicine made from tiger parts, their numbers have been falling for some time. And to date there are fewer than 6,000 tigers living in their natural habitat of the forests and plains of Asia.

Woman: What is being done to curb the population decrease?

Man: Well, specialists such as myself work closely with conservationists groups such as the World Wildlife Federation or WWF to protect tigers from illegal hunting. WWF considers the drop in tiger numbers to be catastrophic and they're working hard to conserve the populations in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Russia.

Woman: I understand that the poaching is not the only problem faced by the leopard. Let me get this right! Is it the Snow Leopard which lives in the mountains in Asia?

Man: Yes, it is. The poaching has been a problem but not the most important. Its natural prey the animals at hunts is declining too. Its natural habitat in high-altitude area specifically the pastures as threatened by the growth of agriculture. It is the main problem for the Snow Leopard. It's going to be extremely difficult for numbers to recover, but again the WWF has been working hard to continue to fund projects to aid the snow leopard in Nepal and Pakistan and hopefully Bhutan very soon.

Woman: Well, this is fascinating information you are giving us, Professor. We are just going into a short commercial break when we come back, I have a few questions for you about the Puma and the Jaguar. Remember lessness there will be an opportunity to phone in and voice any opinions or questions you may have for the Professor in ten minutes.

Woman: Good afternoon, I'm pleased to see so many of you here today as I told you all on Monday the lecture on overpopulation has been postponed until next week as we have a guest speaker today. I'd like to introduce you all to Donald Mackenzie who has recently returned from a 12-month research project in America. He is here to share with us some of the results of his studies into the problem of illiteracy

Man: Hello, now as sociology students I have no doubt that you are aware that it is commonly believed that one indicator of a developed country, the level of education of its citizens. Now most of these nations have free compulsory education for all and strict teacher certification requirements, so it would logically follow that people from countries such as America would be highly educated. Yet, this isn't always so. In America alone, 42 million *s cannot read and 50 million can recognize so few printed words. They each have the reading ability of a ten-year-old frightening statistics indeed, but not as frightening as the trend suggested by current estimates, the number of illiterate *s is increasing by approximately two and a quarter million people each year and although global statistics have not been compiled as it suggests an extremely disturbing figure. Inevitably, this is having an impact on employment. In America the annual cost and welfare programs and unemployment compensation due to a literacy stands at six billion US dollars and an additional 237 billion a year in unrealized earnings is forfeited by people who let basic reading skills. There is also the cost of post school literacy programs which have been put in place in order to counter this increasing figure. A conservative estimate places the cost of these programs at 10 billion dollars each year and growing steadily.

Moving on, I'd like to talk about some of the causes of this increasing illiteracy. Children were taught to read by first learning the alphabet then the sounds of each letter, how they blended into syllables and how those syllables made up words. They were taught that English spelling is logical and systematic, and that to become a fluent reader it was necessary to master the alphabetic code in which English words are written. To the point where the code is used automatically with little conscious thought given to it. And to make myself to you, I mean readers could sound out the letters, spelling them phonetically. Once a child learned this ability, attention could be turned to more advanced content. It seldom if I ever occurred to teachers to give children word lists to read or to make beginner level readers memorize whole words before learning the components of those words or to memorize whole stories as today's proponents of the whole language approach recommend.

Several recent studies have found that 90% of remedial reading students and developed countries are not able to decode fluently, accurately and at an automatic level of response. The currently used whole language method was originally conceived then used in the early 1800s to teach the deaf how to read, a method which is long since being discarded by the teachers of the deaf themselves as inadequate and out murdered. English is an alphabetic language that when written uses letters to represent speech sounds when students were taught to read, they consciously identified the speech sounds and learned to recognize the letters used to represent them. They were then trained to apply this information to decode the names of unwritten words, understand their meaning and comprehend the information presented as a complete thought. The English language contains approximately half a million words. On these words, about 300 compose about three-quarters of the words that we use regularly. As I said in schools where the whole language method is taught, children are constantly memorizing sight words during the first three or four grades of school but I never taught how to unlock the meaning of the other 499 thousand seven hundred or more words. Whole language learning causes frustration, poor spelling and hostility towards reading. Very bright children who can't memorize long lists of words and retain their meaning are placed in special education. When all they need is to be taught that 26 letters of the alphabet, the 44 sounds they make, and the seventy common ways to spell those sounds.

Some researchers believe dyslexia and the symptoms of attention deficit disorder actually caused by this reversal of the normal learning sequence. So, why do faulty reading methods continue to be used? Well, in short, it's big business. The sale of instructional reading programs is big business today. Each year publishing companies compete for the adoption of reading programs and workbooks which have to be replaced annually concentrating on phonics would seriously reduce the cost of education.

每年的6月中上旬和12月中上旬。
四六级考试每年举行2次，上半年6月中上旬举行，下半年12月中上旬举行。四级考试时间在上午9点到11点左右，六级考试时间在下午3点开始。
英语四级和六级考试的满分是710分，英语四级和六级的“及格线”是425分。四级考试通过之后可以报考六级考试。

1、可以不用单词书背单词。
2、如果你有把单词书连续不间断背6遍以上的时间和精力，那么去背单词书。少于这个次数或者有间断等于没背。
3、不用单词书背单词，不等于单词不用背。
4、把最近12年的考研试题拿出来，其中最近的3年作为最后的模拟考试卷，在其余的9套中，把上边所出现的不会的所有单词全部挑出来，不留死角，只查这个单词在试卷文章中或者问题里或者选项中的意思，不要其他意思。
你会发现有很多很犀利的单词几乎每年都有，意思几乎一样，而且是非常偏的意思一样。这全部的单词搞定了，其他的单词或者意思就不用管了，十年间都没有考的东西，你觉得第十一年会考么?就是会考，你觉得会考几个?又有多少人遇到了能做出来?
5、其他的单词或者意思完全不管，对于这点你如果不放心，那么有些单词你可以广泛而深究着背一下：今年英语大纲相对于去年大纲多出来的单词背一下，去年大纲相对于前年大纲多出来的单词背一下，前年大纲相对于大前年大纲多出来的单词背一下，然后打住不向前推了。
阅读理解中关于选项中作者是什么态度的单词，什么想法的单词，这类你每次选项都认不全的单词的*背一下。作文题材的单词背一下，比如“地沟油”，比如“返乡潮”，比如……这些你现在会吗?不会先背下吧。然后够了。
6、完型填空不需要专项训练(再黑一下，没大用)，完型不管是复习或是模拟或是最后上战场，花费时间最多不超过10分钟，复习的时候花十分钟做，可以多花点时间回来研读分析。
7、如果你考研英语的目标是85分以上，那么忽略上条，如果是85分以下的任意一个分数，牢记上条。完型考的是你的感觉，不是语法。
8、不仅仅完型填空是考感觉，阅读理解也一样。
9、完型填空考的是你的感觉，阅读理解考的是出题老师的感觉。所以阅读150篇什么的，完全不需要(又黑了一下)。
10、综合8、9两条，阅读理解训练关键就是试题，只有试题上是出题老师的感觉，是某一类人的变态思维。我们要做的就是熟悉这种变态思维。
11、有人说，试题不要过早做，效果不好。效果不好，只可能是两种可能，一种是只做了一遍，另一种是全部都做了。之前已经提过，留最近三年作为最后模拟，另外9套试题吃透。
12、9套试题做的时候要控制时间，不要太久，否则进入模拟以及考试都会很不适应。花时间最多的事，是做完了之后对照试题解析，理解文章意思，更重要的是体会文章作者的意思与出题人的思路。
13、综合10、11、12三条，大家会觉得，唯一的比较需要我们动手动脑的资料只有试题，是不是太少了。其实我想说，试题是可以做很多遍的。
14、如果不算上用来模拟的三套卷子，那么你有9套，9套中一共有36篇阅读理解。那么当你再做完第36篇阅读理解，再回来做第1篇时，你会有发现，一切都跟新的一样……那么再做一遍吧，把文章所有的思路、细节、单词，全部吃透，问题的问法吃透，问题的选项弄懂，当你又一次做到第36篇时，再回来做第一篇吧，如果你发现你还是会出错。
好吧，我们再来一遍，所有文章的思路、细节、单词、问题问法、选项、我们再来过……等到有一天，你突然发现全部的试题文章我都懂了，问题都记住了，试题上的单词都搞定了，问法你都熟透了，连哪句话来自哪篇文章你都了解了，你看着文章里一句敏感的话你就知道它会成为这个文章后边的问题，甚至连哪几年的考研英语试卷是哪个变态思维的老师出的你都能感觉出来了。这个时候，兄弟，你练成了……
15、那么试题如何做很多遍?先给自己定个目标，你要做几遍?根据几个同学的经验，我觉得4-5遍还行。那么*试题的时候，在做之前就复印你要做的遍数份。每次做都会有不同的收获哟。
16、对于阅读理解，最后还有一点提醒：本就是一场考试而已，你要体会的就是另一种感觉——出题人的感觉，暂时适应这种感觉，通过了，然后抛弃这种感觉，仅此而已。
17、关于新题型，除了好好做试题外，可以找些其它的题做一做，但是还是要好好做试题。
18、新题型的文章都很难，如果文章不难，当年的考研英语分数线就参考2021年吧，训练的时候不要试图通过完全弄懂整个文章的意思来获得正确的答案，首先时间不允许，其次没有必要，最后如果你都可以通过这样的方式把新题型做全对，建议不要考研了，早点出国深造吧。
19、你觉得Lucy这个人名应该用he还是she这个代词?你觉得随便一个地名后边应该用人称代词he还是she来代替，或是用it来代替?A段落最后的一句话都用but了，跟在后边的段落是不是该转折呢?你觉得以so为开头的段落能放在排序的第一个吗?
类似的问题有很多，当你注意到了你会发现，新题型考察的实际上是你对段落句子甚至单词之间的关联的发现。那么先把人名，地名，东西的名称，人称代词，物品代词，连词，语气次，表示原因啊、结果啊、总结啊的单词划出来，然后再来做题吧，那时候会不会感觉不一样呢?
20、然后就是翻译了，翻译这个东西，我很水，所以不多说了。如果你的目标不是85分以上，那么按照自己的方法训练下吧。对照着往年翻译的评分标准，争取5道翻译共十分的题，每道得一分，然后你就五分了，然后你就远远高于全国各族考生2-3分的平均水平了。
21、最后的大小作文一起说吧。很多人说最后一个月来准备作文刚刚好，真心的，我之前真信了。后来发现那些说这话的人，要么就是英语考40分就无比非常特别满足了的，要么就是雅思GRE都过了拿了offer，然后考个研追求人生圆满的。如果你是上述两种人，真心的，你也信吧。
22、建议广大考研的苦主们在训练作文之前，先看看教育部发行的考研英语大纲里边的高分以及满分作文的范文。
23、考研英语作文考察的东西，我想更多的是你对文章的结构把握，以及观点的表达，之前也提到过背一些热点的单词，“地沟油”、“返乡潮”什么的，亲，你现在会了么?这些单词你都会了，你在真正的考试来临之前底气也会很足。2021年的文化火锅的“火锅”一词不知道坑了多少人的爹……亲，你现在知道火锅是什么单词么?
24、还是先说下标准，如果你的目标不是85分以上，那么对于作文，你最后还是要回归到一个叫模板的东西上，所谓模板，可以是别人，或者培训班给的一个类似填词，填句子的整段整段的文字，目的是你只要把作文给的插图里的事物，意思用英语翻译过来，然后填在相应的空里，一篇文章就出来了。
听起来很强大的样子，实际并不是很好用，而且模板是会重复的，总有那么几个傻傻的会原封不动的搬上去，然后就可能是作弊什么的，反模板什么，然后分数就成了0或者很低的分数。这就是网上论 坛里很多人所说的老师改卷子时“反模板”、“慎用模板”。
25、但是，还有一种模板，这种模板，不会造成上述的结果，反而可以得到很高的分数，而且考试的时候可以不占用你非常多的时间。这就是自己的模板。自己的模板，我个人认为，不应该是一段固定的英语，那样跟25里提到的模板没有什么区别，它应该是你面对一篇文章的时候，你是要写议论文(考研英语作文大部分是议论文)，还是记叙文还是什么的。是要只说正面，还是只说反面，还是两边都说。或者你如何描绘所给插图中的场景，进而生发出观点，这些你都要形成一种模板，而且不只一个模板，要根据几个比较大的情况来准备几个比较宽泛的模板，然后用哪些句子，单词都可以水到渠成。
27、之前说，不少人说一个月准备作文。我的观点，三个月比较好，而且最开始的一个月可以比较放松的看一看。之后有一个比较好的训练方式就是，自己构建自己的模板，然后找一本诸如考研作文160篇这样的题材比较宽泛，文章不是那么华丽的参考书，对照着书上的题材，看着范文，然后根据自己的模板，把范文中可以用的句子用上，进而丰富自己的模板，把那个题目用自己的模板与话语再写一遍，这样写的多了，题材多了，情况见多了，自己的模板也变成熟了，你的表达能力也会随之增强，然后，就没有然后了。

1. 在听力部分，每答对一题得一分

对于第一点，曾经有人分析听力每套题的第一和第二部分比三、四部分简单，所以第三、四部分的错误要多扣分。这种分析不够准确，因为该评分标准明确提出每答对一题得一分，故尔每个部分中每个题目的分值是一样的。

尤其是对于基础相对比较薄弱的考生，要把第一和第二部分作为得分的重点。如果前面两个部分错误保证在3-5个以内，后面两个部分再做对5-8个，那么基本可以得到5-6分。对于目标分数比较高的考生，前面两个部分的错误一定要尽量控制在3个以内，后面两个部分的错误控制在5个以内，那么7-7.5分就比较容易了。想得到8分或者以上的同学，前面两个部分要保证基本不犯错误，才有可能达到目标。

2. 如果答案是英文字母或数字，你只能填入所需的答案数量的字母或数字。

比如，如果一个答案是要求填一个英文字母或数字，那你只能填一个；如果你提供了多个字母或数字，答案就算错。

这一点主要是针对选择题和搭配题。在单项选择的答案中，只能写一个正确的字母，否则算错。在多选题的答案中，如果是两个或者是两个以上的题号，每个题号后面只能写一个正确的字母，但是顺序可以颠倒。如果其中一个是错误的，那么只扣除一道题目的分数。考生容易犯的低级错误是把2-3个题目的答案全部放在一个题号后面，如果把A、B、C三个字母全部放在21题后面，结果从21题开始，后面所有的题目都会写错行，导致不可估量的损失。

如果是只有一个题号的多选题，在答题纸上写答案的时候，只要一个字母错就会算错，因为一个题目不会有半分；考生曾经犯过的低级错误是把一个题目的答案放在两个题号后面，也会导致后面的全错。

建议大家在考试之前，在做完题目之后多抄写两次答案，这样就可以避免类似的错误。

3. 答案可以采用大写或小写

关于大小写的问题有两个版本。有考官说：所有的答案大写和小写均可接受。也有的考官说：专有名词必须大写。

建议考生在抄写答案的时候，如果不清楚，最好写成大写。这样肯定不会算错。比如，在中国的考试中，问答题的答案要求第一个字母必须大写；在雅思考试中问答题的答案不要求大写第一个字母，但是如果你大写的话肯定也不会算错。

4. 括号中的文字可以任意选用---这些字虽然是正确的，但并非一定要使用。

在剑桥系列的听力答案中，经常会出现这样的情况：April （the） 18th ， put （it） together或者（the） best buy。在这个答案中，括号里面的“the， it”是可有可无的。要注意，能够放在括号里面的只能是一些不重要的单词，如果不写的话肯定不会影响答案的意思。

建议考生遇到这样的情况，最好在不超过字数要求的时候保留这些并不太重要的单词。最好不要在答案中加带括号的单词，因为括号中的单词如果错误或者不应该有的话，答案算是错误的。（见第八点）

5. 替代答案以斜线分隔

我们在剑桥系列的答案中经常会见到下面这样的情况：15/15people， move around/move about， the best/the best buy/safe， a term/one term， 2 modules/for 2 terms， a topic/one topic， children’s education/their children’s education。但是请各位考生同学们注意，这只是在答题纸上表示出了各种有可能对的答案而已。作为阅卷的考官可以依据这些不同的答案来判断考生是否写了其中的一个，然后来判定考生是否得分。就如同在前文第二点中关于选择题的答案的写法是一个道理，如果在答题纸上写两个或以上题号的多选题的答案时，不能在一个题号后面写所有的答案，即便是加上“OR”也不允许。例如：在21-23题写答案的时候，不允许写成：21A OR B OR C，22，22B OR C OR A，23C OR A OR B。这样写答案是绝对不允许的。否则你可以写成A OR B OR C OR D OR E。

建议考生在遇到类似的情况的时候，一定要记得只写一个答案。我们不应该让考官来做选择题，这样考官会选择不给分。

6. 如果答案指定你必须使用几个字或一个（或多个）数字，你若使用超过指定数目的答案，将会被扣分。

比如，如果问题规定你的答案不能超过3个字，而正确答案是“black leather coat”，你的答案若是“coat of black leather”，就算答错。

在雅思听力考试中，凡是要求写答案的题目要求中都会出现“no more than three words”，“no more than 2 words”或“only one word or number”的字样。考生在写答案的时候要特别注意这些要求。很多人可能最熟悉的是“no more than three words”，容易忽略“no more than 2 words”。在此，我建议学生在预测的过程中把题目要求中的字数要求勾出来，这样就可以避免类似的低级错误。

关于字数要求的满足，建议同学们使用两个得到考官认可的技巧：

1） 省略小品词---如果答案总字数超过题目要求的时候，我们可以省略答案中的一些连词、冠词和介词。比如：（a） double bedroom， near （the） railway station， （in the） entrance hall等等。

2） 加连字符---我们还可以在一些相关的单词之间加上连字符。比如：a double bedroom可以写成a double-bedroom， near the railway station可以写成near the railway-station， in the entrance hall可以写成in the entrance-hall。

7. 如果是填空题，只需要把正确答案写在答题纸上

比如要填充“in the ____”，正确答案应该是“morning”，而你如果写“in the morning”，就算答错。

关于该问题，一位叫做Steve Ruston的前考官明确表示，如果重复题目中的任何一个，哪怕是一个小品词都会影响得分。

在此，建议大家在听之前一定要做好预测的工作，作完题目在抄写完答案之后一定要注意检查答案是否重复了题目中的单词。

8. 所有答案必须拼写正确（包括括号中的词）

在雅思听力考试中，只要出现拼写错误，不得分。但是有一个例外：如果答案是没有拼写的人名或者地名，只要你的答案符合读音规则是可以接受的。比如：Forest=Forrest，Allen=Alen，Anna=Ana。

建议考生在平时的学习当中要注意读音规则---一个字母组合会发不同的音；不同的字母组合会发同一个音。比如：OU在pour，out，double，shoulder，soup，could中的发音都不相同；IE，EE，EA，AE，EO，OE，E，I，EY等很多不同的字母组合都可以发/i：/的音。读音规则好比是一个书架，考生认识的单词好比是书，如果单词都按照规律在大脑的“书架”上整齐排列，那么考生们的反映速度会快很多。

关于单、复数的问题，考官的建议是：如果不影响理解，两者均可。建议是：从上下文进行分析，决定用哪一种形式。如果无法判断，复数相对比较保险。因为在一般情况下，只要不是特指，英语习惯用复数形式。

9. 美式或英式拼写方法都可以接受

英语考试中，单词的拼写一般都接受来自不同国家的习惯性拼写，当然IELTS也不例外。比如：neighbour=neighbor， metre=meter。在此，建议大家在写答案的时候统一用某一个类别的拼写，最好不要交叉使用。

另外，在写答案的时候可以用你习惯的单词来回答问题。比如：shopping mall=shopping center，flat=apartment， dustbin=garbage can。但是也要注意单词使用的统一性，不要一处用美国英语，而另外一个地方又用英式英语。

10. 所有数字、日期、货币等的标准替代符号均可接受

在雅思听力考试中会经常把数字、日期和货币作为考点2021年雅思听力评分标准的11个原则雅思（IELTS）。在写这一类答案的时候，既可写成英语单词也可写成*数字或者是金钱符号。比如：twenty=20；ten percent=10%；July，20th=July，20；15 dollars=$15；120pounds=￡120。在此提醒大家要注意：关于金钱的单词要写在数字的后面，而符号要写在数字的前面。

建议大家最好使用*数字和金钱符号，这样既节省时间又可以节约空间。因为10%只算一个单词，而ten percent则算两个单词。另外，使用这些符号也不容易犯错误。

有一个需要特别注意的是：20 minutes 30 seconds不能写成20’30’’，只能写成20.5 minutes。因为20 feet 30 inches在英语中的习惯性表达方式也是20’30’’，这样会引起歧义。
