良好的听力，是做好听力题的关键。在初中英语教学中培养良好的听力应试能力离不开平日的刻苦训练，但在应试是遵循一些解答规律，讲究做题的方法技巧，才能取得事半功倍的效果。在此我想简单的谈论几点自己的见解。让我们来具体的看一下。
技巧1快速读题，预测话题
利用听录音前的时间间隙，迅速捕捉题干和选项所提的信息，预测对话或独白可能涉及的内容，做到听录音时有的放矢，提高准确率。听之前，先看看这些问题，尽力猜出可能的答案，(如:日期、地点、名字、数字、人物对象、活动、原因)。
Before you listen,rad the questions. Try to guess possible answers.（eg dates,places,names,numbers，objects，actions，reasons.)
例1, Where are the two speakers?
A.In a library. B.In租bookshop.
C.In a teacher's office.
(录音原文)
M:Excuse me.Here are the books I've chosen and here's my card.
W:You've got four books on your card already.
M:Yes,and I can borrow eight altogether,is that right?
W:Yes you can have another four.Oh,I'm sorry,but you can't take these three out,I 'm afraid.
M:Can teachers borrow them,then?I can ask my teacher to borrow them for me.
W:I'm afraid not. They are single copies,so we're not lending them to anyone,but you can read them here in the library.
M:I see.Sorry, I didn't know.1I1ll take this one only ,then.
分析:快速浏览题干和选项中所出现的信息词where,books,takeaway,library可以预测,对话可能涉及到图书馆借书这一-话题。 之后，听对话时就要特别留意这方面的信息，从而准确地确定试题的答案。
根据对话中提到的books ,card ,borrow ,in the library很容易确定第1题的答案为A.
技巧2场景用语，暗示答案
一些场景用语有助于判断对话发生的地点 、人物的职业 、人物关系等。如听到menu，food，order等词时，可判断出对话有可能发生在饭店，对话双方的关系可能是服务员的顾客。
Informal style is more direct. listen for contractions and colloquial or slang expression.(eg .yeah,sure ，ok，thanks.)
Formal style usually contains longer sentences and polite words and expressions.(e.g.would you mind ,please ,thank you )
例2,What is the relationship between the two speakers?
A.Waiter and waitress. B.Waiter and customer.
C.Manager and cook.
(录音原文)
W:Bring me the menu,will you?
M:Just a moment,I m coming, Now,what would you like?
W:rd like to see the menu.Would you get me one,please?
M:Yes,certainly .Here you are,
W:Thank you.Ah! But this is in French. Would you mind giving me the English menu?
Milt's written in English, too，in smaller print, There
W:Thanks,
M:Now what are you going to have?
W:I'm sorry, I haven't decided yet.Do you mind giving me a couple of minutes?
M:All right，but would you be 50 kind as to make up your mind soon?
We're very busy now as you can see ,madam.
分析 试题要就判断对话双方的关系。对话中多次提到一方要看"menu" ,而另一方催促对方决定要吃什么，由此可判断两者之间应该是服务员和顾客的关系，因而正确答案是B。显然在确定答案的过程中,menu一词起到了重要作用。
