考点分析
解题技巧
话题突破03 文化节日(听力专练)
这类对话或独白通常围绕一个具体的节日或文化事件展开,其考点可以归纳为以下三大核心方面:
1. 节日基本信息
这是最基础的考点,旨在考查学生对关键事实性信息的抓取能力。
类型: 音乐节、艺术节、电影节、戏剧节、传统节日(中秋、端午、圣诞等)、特殊节庆(番茄节、
风筝节等)。
时间: 开始/结束的日期、具体在哪一天、持续多长时间。
地点: 在哪个城市、公园、广场或特定场馆举行。
人物: 活动的参与者、组织者、表演者或目标受众(如:适合家庭、儿童或成人)。
2. 节日活动与细节
这是考查最深入、最频繁的部分,涉及节日的具体内容和流程。
核心活动: 表演、比赛、游行、游行、烟花、美食展等。
活动安排: 不同日期/时间段分别有什么活动。(例如:“头两天是歌舞表演,后三天是比赛”)
习俗与传统: 特定节日的独特习俗(如:端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟;元宵节吃汤圆、赏灯)。
物品准备: 需要准备什么(如:穿旧衣服参加番茄节、用红纸袋做礼物袋)。
奖品与奖励: 比赛的奖品是什么(奖金、奖牌、奖杯等)。
3. 个人观点与经历
这部分考查学生对说话人态度、感受和意图的理解。
感受与评价: 说话人认为节日“好玩”、“无聊”、“令人失望”、“比去年好/差”。
偏好与原因: 喜欢或不喜欢某个节日的原因(如:喜欢夏季节日的烧烤氛围,不喜欢传统节日的送
礼压力)。
个人经历: 回忆过去参加的经历,或描述即将参与的计划。
建议与意图: 说话人建议做什么、下一步打算做什么。
技巧1 读题预测,锁定关键词
在听力开始前,快速浏览问题和选项,预测对话主题。用笔圈出问题中的疑问词(What, When, Who,
Why, How)和选项中的关键词。例如: 看到选项是“On the 25th.” / “On the 27th.” / “On the
29th.”,立刻意识到要重点关注 日期,并准备好记录。
技巧2 边听边记,简化信息
在听的过程中,用自己能看懂的简写、符号或中文快速记录关键信息。例如: 听到“...beginning on
twenty-fifth and will last for five days”,立刻记下 25 → 5d 或 25 (+5),即可轻松推算出结束日期是
29 号。
语料总结
技巧3 抓住信号词,把握逻辑脉络
说话人经常会使用一些信号词来引出关键信息。
时间顺序: first, then, after that, finally, before, after...
转折与对比: but, however, actually, in fact, unlike...
原因与结果: because, so, the reason is, that's why...
举例: for example, such as, like...
技巧4 识别“同义替换”,理解言外之意
听力原文中的用词常常不会和选项完全一致,而是会进行同义替换。
词汇替换: 原文 “a comedy” = 选项 “funny”。
句式转换: 原文 “Children might find it rather frightening.” = 选项 “It may frighten children.”
概括总结: 原文描述一系列农耕指导 = 选项 “To guide farming activities.”
技巧5 理解说话人语气和意图
注意说话人的语调、重音和所用词汇,以判断其态度是积极、消极还是中立。
积极词汇: great, fantastic, wonderful, incredible, my favorite, can't wait...
消极词汇: disappointing, not as good as, a pity, too bad, frightening...
建议与意图: “We should...” , “Why don't we...?” , “I'll try to...” , “I'm going to...”
技巧6 注意区分“文化节日”与“文化传统”
正如我们之前分析的,要能区分:文化节日: 一个具体的事件,有明确的时间、地点和活动安排
(如:哈尔滨冰雕节、斯特雷顿戏剧节)。
文化传统/知识: 关于习俗和知识体系的介绍(如:二十四节气的来历和功能、清明节的习俗)。
解题方法本质相同,但意识到后者更侧重于“是什么”和“为什么”,而非“何时何地举办”。

W: I can’t believe how cool that art festival was last night. And it was even bigger than the ones we
went to in Los Angeles and Chicago.
M: New York is the birthplace of the modern art movement in the U.S.
W: The only thing I was missing was sculpture. The watercolor paintings were my favorite.
M: I was also disappointed about the lack of sculpture, but in general, I liked it a lot. Hey, how long do
you think it takes to become an accomplished artist?
W: It’s tough to say. My uncle is a painter, and it took him 20 years to get to the point where he could
do his art full-time.
M: I have always enjoyed oil painting, but the materials are so expensive. I had to give it up.
W: That’s too bad! I guess we all have to make sacrifices.
M: Maybe I just need a cheaper alternative. My niece has been doing a lot of chalk art on her
blackboard and she even likes to show it to her best friend.
W: We should stop by the art supply store on the way home.
M: OK...as long as the cost of a cab is not too high. I am on a tight budget this month.
W: This one’s on me. You got the taxi last weekend.
M: Awesome! Let’s go to the reception counter. They can help us find the taxi stand.

a.m. to 10:00 am. From 10:10 a.m, to 11:00 a.m., we helped clean our canteen. From 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.. we
had lunch.
M: So you just finished your lunch?

revolutionary song which is to their taste. We are scheduled to return to school at 6:00 p.m.
M: Great. I believe it will remind them of the valuable moments in their life.
W: Sure. We can also help them get a haircut and do some laundry. Some people are fond of Chinese chess. We can
play the board game.
M: It sounds wonderful. We will grow old one day. You really inspired me. I should cancel my appointment with
my friends and I’ll buy a fruit basket to see my grandparents during the visiting hours. I'd love to do something
meaningful like you.

⑧And I’ll take her to watch the new movie the next day. What about you?
W: ⑨I was planning on going to the festival with my sister, but she got a phone call from her boss and she
was asked to deal with some urgent work. So she can’t drive me there.
M: Well, I think some of the city buses have stops near the National Park. It will take a little longer than driving,
but not much. Or you can take a taxi.
W: ⑩If so, I think I can take the subway to avoid traffic jams. There’s a subway station only a five-minute
walk from my place.

M: You mean you camped? But the weather was rather bad in August.
W: Yeah, it was rainy, but we had a great time all the same.
M: So, who was on stage this year?
W: There was a fantastic line-up. We were delighted to see Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand and the Darkness.

perform live.

of classical music, and then I started searching for online music teachers to help me learn.

14. What does the man like about the summer festival?
A. Swimming in the pool.
B. Barbecuing with friends.
C. Watching the parade.
15. Why doesn’t the man like traditional holidays?
A. They happen in uncomfortable places.
B. They are too expensive to afford.
C. They feel like a requirement.
16. How does the woman’s family celebrate traditional holidays?
A. By making gifts for each other.
B. By buying expensive things.
C. By holding a pool party.
17. What does the woman imply in the end?
A. Families can have their own ways of celebrating holidays.
B. Traditional holidays are more comfortable.
C. Gifts are better than promises.
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. A 17. A
【原文】M: I don’t think I appreciate traditional festivals, like Christmas and Easter as much as my family.
W: What do you mean?
M: I’m just not that into them. Christmas and Easter have many extra parts involved. I like to celebrate with the
people I love in a comfortable environment. My favorite holiday is the summer festival.
W: Is it because of our tradition to swim in my pool every year before the parade?
M: No, though that is fun. It’s because after the parade we go to my parents’ giant barbecue with all their friends.
Everyone brings a dish of food or drinks and then we talk and tell stories until the stars come out.
W: People do that on Christmas and Easter too, you know! I think it just depends on your family’s traditions.
M: For some reason, I just feel that most people feel the need to buy expensive things that are unnecessary during
Christmas and Easter. There is no expectation of getting or giving gifts. It feels like you are forced into being nice,
because of a date.
W: Yes, but you don’t have to do any of that to celebrate. My family makes gifts for one another or we make
promises saying we will help each other with projects or housework.
Dialogue 10
听下面一段较长对话,回答以下小题。
6. Which play is suitable for children?
A. Fire and Flood.
B. Silly Sailor.
C. The Mystery of Muldoon.
7. What does the man say about Silly Sailor?
A. It is a comedy.
B. It may frighten the old.
C. It won an award two years ago.
【答案】6. C 7. A
【原文】W: I’d like to know which plays are suitable for my children, and which ones my husband and I might go
to.
M: How old are your children?
W: Five and seven.
M: What about The Mystery of Muldoon? That’s aimed at five- to ten-year-olds. If you’d like something for
yourself and your husband, you might like to see Fire and Flood—it’s about events that happened in Stretton two

【原文】W: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a great pleasure to talk to you about a remarkable film festival that has
introduced high quality cinema to the world. The festival I’m referring to is CineMajestic. CineMajestic festival
was first planned in the late 1960s. At the very beginning, it was intended to be a small independent gathering of
filmmakers and film lovers. It was designed to present creative and innovative films that might not find a home in
more mainstream festivals. This vision became a reality when the first CineMajestic festival was held in 1973 and
it immediately gained recognition. What makes CineMajestic different from other film festivals is its efforts in the
art of storytelling. It’s a festival that doesn’t follow trends or commercial pressure. Instead, it celebrates the most
important quality of cinema and the creative voices that define it. CineMajestic belief in finding hidden, precious
aspects is truly inspiring. The films vary widely in terms of type and style. You’ll find something from inspiring
documentaries to creative experimental films. But character driven dramas often shine here. The festival has been a
platform for films that challenge conventions and take artistic risks. This year’s selection at CineMajestic was
extremely interesting. What impressed me most was the diversity of voices and stories on display. There were films
from all corners of the globe. I was particularly moved by the film The Silent Journey, a story about a young boy’s
adventure in a ruined world.

【答案】17. C 18. A 19. C 20. B
【原文】
M: Terje Isungset is a drummer, and he also makes instruments out of something pretty cool: ice!
He doesn't just use any frozen stuff, "You can buy perfect ice from factories around the world, but it won't have any
sound," Isungset says. (He gets his ice from the wild. "It's nature that decides the sound of the instrument," he says.
Isungset got the idea for ice music more than 20 years ago. "I was asked to perform at a concert in front of a frozen
waterfall," he says. And that gave him an idea: The instruments should be made of ice.
Finally, in 2006, Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival Norway. The 18th of these festivals was scheduled
to take place from February 1st to 4th.
Almost everything at the Ice Music Festival is frozen every year. "We come to a place, harvest the ice,
and build the venue out of` snow and ice," Isungset says. ②0"When the show is over, we invite the
audience to give the ice instruments back to nature," he adds. "For the festival, I have a goal of trying to invent a
new instrument every year."

【原文】W: The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Minor Heat, the 11th solar
term of the year, signifies the hottest period is coming but the extreme hot point has yet to arrive. In China, the 24
solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But the solar term culture is still
useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips that
correspond with each term. The following are 4 things you need to know about Minor Heat. A season of storms,
thunder and hail Storms, thunder and hail often happen during Minor Heat, though in some years there might be
droughts. One of the prevailing farming activities during Minor Heat is staying on top of flood control and drought
relief. A season for the lotus flower In Minor Heat, high temperatures are good for the growth of the lotus flower.
From Minor Heat to the Double Ninth Festival, the lotus flower is in full bloom, and always simple but elegant.
Firefly season Minor Heat is the season when fireflies become lively. Zhu Shuzhen, a woman of the Southern Song
Dynasty, once described in her famous poem Summer Fireflies a happy scene of children playing with fireflies in
the woods at night. Sunning clothes During the Minor Heat period, with the longest amount of sunlight and the
strongest sunlight radiation, many families hang their clothes out in the sun to prevent mildew.

【原文】M: Hello. I’m Maxim Vroom and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with open
Tchaikovsky competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky
competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a
world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of
10. And that was me.
Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition.
Where else can you see young players playing within 10 days, classical works and Russian traditional music before
coming to the final stage? As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections
of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me
musically. I want to see the seed. At least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I will
go for this musician.

C. James.
【答案】18.B 19.C 20.B
【原文】
M: We are receiving news that next year’s TT races on the Isle of Man have been canceled due to forecasts of
extreme and persistent severe weather. The festival, worth about £30 million to the island economy, brings tens of
thousands of visitors each year. It has been held every year since 1907 and expected to take place from May 29th to
June 12th. (18) Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly said the “logical decision” to cancel the event was needed to
protect residents and visitors, citing risks from high winds and heavy rain. The cancelation of next year’s motor
cycle festival is another huge hit for the island’s tourism industry. (19) The island government has been closely
monitoring the situation. Mr. Skelly said the government could not commit to “welcoming tens of thousands of
people to the island in June” under such unsafe conditions. Resident Anne Rostron, (20) whose husband Brian is a
former TT rider, said she could see why the decision had been taken. Her friend Judith Curtis said there were
arguments for and against canceling the event, (20) adding, “It’s going to hit the island again financially, but you’ve
got to think about the safety of the people”. James McLaren said although it would be “a disappointment”, it was
“better to be safe than sorry”.

boy’s experience. The boy named Antonio lives in the city of Valencia in Spain. Every year he goes to LA Tomatina
festival in Bo a town near Valencia. The festival is on the last Wednesday of August. On that day almost everyone
goes to the main square to throw tomatoes at each other. Before the festival people cover the shop window with
plastic Antonio always wears his oldest clothes so he doesn’t get his best clothes dirty. He also puts his camera in a
plastic bag to keep it clean. In the morning trucks arrive in the main square bringing tons of tomatoes. The fight
begins at twelve o’clock and people never throw tomatoes after about one PM they usually spend the rest of the day
cleaning themselves and the town. In the evening Antonio usually watches the fireworks eats the local food and
enjoys some dancing shows.
