最先，四级听力没有题目，各位都知道要浏览题目，但往往题目还没看完，相应的听力部分就结束了，问题就是出在浏览选项的时候看什么。

在浏览听力选项时，学生们肯定要知道怎样去找出选项中的重要词。最先，浏览选项时须要明确纵向和横向两个概念，纵向即从A到D四个选项，横向即每个选项内容。在划选项重要词时，纵向上重复的内容，即可跳过。如：

A) She was always treated as a foreigner.

B) She was eager to visit an English castle.

C) She was never invited to a colleague’s home.

D) She was unwilling to make friends with workmates.

从纵向上来看，示例中的四个选项基本只需从中间部分往后看即可，可是剩余内容单词仍然较多，我们仍需明确什么样的内容能够作为选项的重要词， 许多学生习惯把浏览听力选项当作阅读理解一样，逐字逐句阅读，这么太浪费时间，我们只需把选项中的名词或名词短语，以及专有名词如人名、地名以及数词。仍以上题为例，四个选项中我们须要重点划出的单词其实很少，只需划出foreigner, English castle, colleague’s home, friends, workmates，而对应到该题题目 I met a woman once, an Italian. She’d been working in Manchester for two years, and no one — not one of her colleagues — had ever invited her to their home中划线单词即可快速选出C选项。

此外，在长篇听力中，学生们往往忽视听力选项的另一个特点，即首题选项可以帮助我们预判该文章中心。怎样预判呢，多个选项同时提到的数据即为该文章中心，如：

A. A study of the fast-food service.

B. Fast food customer satisfaction.

C. McDonald's new business strategies.

D. Competition in the fast-food industry.

能够看到，A、B、D三个选项中均提到fast food，C中则提到了McDonald（麦当劳），两个数据则告诉我们该篇文章应该是和快餐相关，对应到听力原文当中划线词Fast food, it turns out, isn’t quite as fast as it used to be. A new study finds that MacDonald’s posted its slowest drive-through times since this survey was first conducted fifteen years ago. At MacDonald’s, customers will spend on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they placed their orders until they received their food即选A。

除了浏览选项可帮助我们选出正确答案，四级听力还存在“视听一致”原则，即字面上的意思，听到的和正确答案的数据一致，但学生们须要注意的就是视听一致会出现两种状况，原词复现和同义替换。原词复现很简单，如：

A. Watch a comedy.

B. Go and see the dance.

C. Book the tickets online.

D. See a film with the man.

B选项中see the dance和原文中Perhaps you are right. Okay, let’s go see the dance. But tomorrow, not tonight划线处一摸一样，即可选。

而同义替换所体现的视听一致则稍难，须要学生们掌握听力中常出现的近义词或是同义词，如：

A. It stayed in the air for about two hours.

B. It took off and landed on a football field.

C. It proved to be of high commercial value.

D. It made a series of sharp turns in the sky.

A选项中除了in the air, two hours和原文一致，出现了stay替换原文“ The Airlander 10 spent nearly 2 hours in the air having taken off from Cardington airfield in Bedfordshire”中spend, 同时出现了表达顺序的变动。但该题假如能抓住复现的重要词选出正确答案难度也不大。
