以四六級考試聽力爲例，很多考生都認爲英語聽力最難，甚至完全聽不懂聽力內容。聽力試題難應付是比較普遍的問題，聽力考察的是考生的聽讀能力，很多高校缺乏英語聽讀條件，考生完全以備考試題中的`聽力資料來練習聽力，從而造成聽力能力的不足。此時再慨嘆你聽不懂已經沒有意義，最重要的是掌握相關聽力技巧，多拿幾分是幾分。
首先，試卷發下來之後，就應緊張起來，此時要迅速開始瀏覽聽力試題，對比不同選項之間的差異。如試題之一，四個選項分別爲：
A：Visiting the Browning
B：Writing a postcard
C：Looking for a postcard
D：Filling in a room
通過選項我們可以迅速判斷B項和C項所描述內容均與postcard有關，或許正確答案就在B、C之間，在有了這種判斷之後，我們還可以提前預知到聽力原文的主要內容，這就爲我們正確選對答案提供不小的機會。
其次，如果所給選項之間有意思相反的選項，要重點關注這些選項之間的內容，正確答案往往圍繞其所表達的意思選擇。如下題所示，四個選項分別爲：
A：She can not finish her assignment, either.
B：She can not afford a computer right now.
C：The man can use her computer.
D：The man should buy a computer right now.
通過選項分析我們可以瞭解到：聽力短文是圍繞computer展開的，A、B兩項表達的意思相佐，A選項表示此女士現在有電腦，B選項表示她現在手頭上沒有電腦;而B、D兩項亦有矛盾，B項表示女士沒有電腦，D項表示男士沒有電腦，兩者相結合，可以退出選擇B項的機會更大一些。
如上述所舉試題解題技巧還有很多，考生要注意分析總結，並能在考試的過程中合理應用。最後，祝大家能在今年的四六級考試會考出自己理想的成績，一舉通關!

On Christmas Eve in 1994, humans entered a cave in the mountains of southeastern France for what was probably the first time in 20,000 years. The vivid images of more than 300 animals that Jean-Marie Chauvet and his assistants found on the cave walls were like none that they had seen before. Unusual in the Grotte Chauvet, as the cave is now called in honor of its discoverer, are paintings of many flat sheeting animals. Other known caves from the same geographical area and time period contain only paintings of plantites. The paintings in this cave refute the old theory that Cro-Magnoon people painted animals that they hunted and then ate. Now many specialists believe that cave paintings were not part of a ritual to bring good luck to hunters. They point out that while deer made up a major part of their diet, there're no drawings of deer. They believe that the animals painted were those central to the symbolic and spiritual life of the times; animals that represented something deep and spiritual to the people. Scientists are hopeful that Groo Chavie will yield new information about the art and lifestyle of Cro-Magnoon people. They readily admit, however, that little is understood yet as to the reasons why ice age artists created their interesting and detailed paintings. Scientists also wonder why some paintings were done in areas that are so difficult to get to, in caves, for example, that are 2,400 feet underground, and accessible only by crawling through narrow passageways.
23. How did the cave get its name?
24. What is the old theory about the paintings in the cave?
25. What do scientists readily admit according to the speaker?

If you are attending a local college, especially one without residence halls, you'll probably live at home and commute to classes. This arrangement has a lot of advantages. It's cheaper. It provides a comfortable and familiar setting, and it means you'll get the kind of home cooking you're used to instead of the monotony (單調) that characterizes even the best institutional food.
However, commuting students need to go out of their way to become involved in the life of their college and to take special steps to meet their fellow students. Often, this means a certain amount of initiative on your part in seeking out and talking to people in your classes whom you think you might like.
One problem that commuting students sometimes face is their parents' unwillingness to recognize that they're adults. The transition from high school to college is a big one, and if you live at home you need to develop the same kind of independence you'd have if you were living away. Home rules that might have been appropriate when you were in high school don't apply. If your parents are reluctant to renegotiate, you can speed the process along by letting your behavior show that you have the responsibility that goes with maturity. Parents are more willing to acknowledge their children as adults when they behave like adults. If, however, there's so much friction at home that it interferes with your academic work, you might want to consider sharing an apartment with one or more friends. Sometimes this is a happy solution when family tensions make everyone miserable
