一、学会预测 预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示，如所给答案选项，段落或对话标题等已有知识，对即将听到的段落或对话内容进行预测。

1. 从答案选项中预测：

Q: What does Tom do?

A. He’s a truck driver. B. He’s a ship captain. C. He’s a pilot.

录音原文： 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. 从选项看，问题应是关于职业方面的，再从flew, passengers, airport这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。

2. 从说话人口气预测：

在A,B两人的对话中，如果B是附和或赞成，往往说“Yes”，“I agree”，“Sure”，“I think so”等。但如A用否定句，B表同意时则用“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、听清数据，简要记录，加以运算。

在获取时间信息时，不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。高考听力考查时间时往往要进行简单的时间换算。

At what time does the train to Leeds leave?

A. 3:00 B. 3:15 C. 5:00

录音原文： 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. 对话中提到了三个时间It's 3 now, in 2 hours，in 15 minutes.

现在是3点，开往Manchester的火车要两小时后才开，即The train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours。若简单机械地把3点和2点相加，会得出火车5点才开的错误选项C。

三、做简要笔记 听录音时快速，准确，简要地记下有关信息(包括数字，人名，地名，关键词)，前提是不要影响跟听速度，采用自己习惯的符号。

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. 笔记可简化为：$ 6 A(A代表adult)，C代表children,3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half C(2)
