题型改革
从2016年开始，大学英语四级考试的听力部分做了调整。取消了原有的短对话、短文听写，增加了短篇新闻。听力篇章也由原来的两篇，增加为三篇。最新的听力题型及分值如下：
Section A短篇新闻是新增的题型，大学英语四级考试中心给出的样题里，三篇的新闻都来自BBC，所以平时大家可以多听一下BBC、CRI、VOA、CNN之类的新闻。之前的短对话，内容都比较生活化，单词也是大家常见的。但是新闻材料的内容一般比较严谨，句子表达更正式一些。新闻材料虽然难，但也是有技巧的。多练习，掌握新闻类的一些高频词、常见句型，那么新题型将不再是难题。Section B长对话和之前相比，没有改变。Section C听力篇章，比原来多了一篇。
一、 预测内容
播放听力之前，考生可以利用试卷上的题目，提前进行判断。可以先竖着看看各个选项，找出相同之处。然后横着看，找出不同之处。特别注意重复率较高的词，这些词一般跟主题联系紧密，通过它们，可以大概判断出听力内容。
二、仔细听开头
无论是对话还是篇章，开头都会引出话题，或者交代主要内容。听到开头的几个句子，要联系相关的话题信息，推测下面可能会讲述的内容或者场景。这样就有利于高效吸收接下来的内容。有的时候，开头也会设置考点，询问考生篇章的主题是什么。所以，务必认真听。
三、把握关键词
1. 表示时间的单词，比如six o'clock, summer, Merry Christmas等。
2. 表示顺序的单词，比如first, then等。如果题目中考事件的先后顺序，那么听的时候，就要特别注意，必要时，用笔将相关信息记下来。
3. 表示强调的单词，比如especially, only, that is to say, all in all等，这些单词或者词组，后面跟的内容，通常都比较重要。
4. 表示逻辑关系的单词，比如in fact, unfortunately, in contrast to, however等，后面的内容与前面相反或者相对。
四、结尾内容
篇章或者对话的结尾，往往是总结性的话语，也容易设置考点，考查事情的最终结果。所以要认真听，把握主要信息。

听力原文与答案解析

News Report One
France has become the first country to ban supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. Legislators passed the law in February. The law requires supermarkets to donate unsold food to charities and food banks. If supermarkets do not obey the law, they face a US $4,000 fine. The new law is part of France's efforts to rethink consumption practices. Each year, France throws away about 7 million tons of food. That is one-fifth of the amount of food bought each year. Along with individual consumers, restaurants and stores add to the food waste. Other European countries are also making efforts to reduce food waste. In Denmark, a new "waste" supermarket has opened, where customers can buy surplus or leftover food for cheaper prices. Arash Derambarsh is a municipal councilor in a Paris suburb. He started a petition for parliament to adopt the supermarket food waste law.

Barbara Plett-Usher is in Washington. Justin Trudeau had pledged during the election campaign to reset relations with Canada's most important ally. They'd been strained under the previous conservative government. And within weeks of his victory, president Obama issued an invitation. He sees the young man as someone who shares his politics and priorities, especially on issues like the environment. The two are expected to discuss ideas for curbing climate change, also ways to expand the world's largest trade relationship, and especially Canada's steps towards ratifying a trade agreement signed by 12 Pacific Rim countries last month.

News Report Three
In Kenya, blind students and those with poor eyesight were still using Braille books for their studies until recently. Their books used the Braille system of raised dots to represent words and numbers. Those with limited or no eyesight can "read" by touching those markings. But Kenyan schools for the blind are now beginning to use technology that provides materials in an audible form. This has expanded possibilities for the students and taught them new ways to interact with technology. Seventeen-year-old Lucas Mwanzia is visually impaired. For the past two years, he has been attending computer classes at the Thika School for the Blind. Lucas Mwanzia is in eighth grade. He started school at a later age because of his poor eyesight. But using the new technology, he can search the Internet for biology class. He says the technology has opened doors that once were closed. He says that Braille books are costly and you have to spend a lot of money to buy one. With computers, he says, the books are available at little or no cost. "So we download the books to read and when we have finished it we just close the program," he says.

• Passage One
The First Woman Doctor
In the early stage there was no medical(医科的) school recruiting female students. Elizabeth Blackwell was determined to become a doctor. The young American girl wrote again and again to medical colleges and universities to ask if she could be enrolled(录取), but every time the answer made her very disappointed.
Then one day, she was surprised to be informed that she had been enrolled by a college in Geneva(日内瓦).
At the beginning, Geneva College, just like the other colleges, was not willing to recruit Liza. But later the important people of that college knew that Liza's application(申请) had been supported by a famous doctor, whom they were afraid to offend.
So the president decided to juggle with the matter by involving the students' general meeting of the college, because he believed that the students would not agree Liza to be enrolled.
When the student body met, most students were not interested in the matter. Among the rest of the students, some thought the young American girl's idea interesting and some thought that they could be proud of their college teaching the world's first woman doctor if they got Liza in. Very soon the students all agreed to admit Elizabeth.
The headmaster of Geneva College was of course very annoyed at the news. Since he had no way to stop Elizabeth from the college, he had to give in.
16. Why did the Geneva College enroll Elizabeth?
答案：D
点睛解析：短文中提到But later the important people of that college knew that Liza's application(申请) had been supported by a famous doctor, whom they were afraid to offend.“但后来该学院的重要人物得知莉莎的申请得到了一位著名医生的支持，他们不好得罪。”由此可知，D“这所大学的重要人物害怕得罪这位著名的医生”是正确答案。
17. What had the president of the college done before Elizabeth entered the college?
答案：C
点睛解析：文中提到So the president decided to juggle with the matter by involving the students' general meeting of the college, because he believed that the students would not agree Liza to be enrolled.“校长决定耍诡计，把事情交给学院学生大会，认为学生不可能同意接受莉莎。”所以选C。
18. What did the students of the college think of the admission of Elizabeth?
答案：D
点睛解析：选项A“所有的学生都对这件事感兴趣”和选项B“所有的学生都为他们的学院感到自豪”与文意不符，所以排除；选项C“有些学生表示强烈抗议”在文中并没有提及，所以排除；选项D“有些学生认为伊丽莎白的想法很有趣”与原文一致，所以选项D是正确答案。
• Passage Two
Tips to Improve Your Study
Do you want to improve your study method? Do you feel nervous before the exam? Many students think that they can't concentrate their attention, which has a serious impact on their ability to learn and their test scores.
If you have the same problem, these tips will help you.
You should study in a fixed place for a long time, rather than choose to learn in a place that you use for another purpose. For example, when you are sitting on a sofa, your brain will think that is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn, if you try to study in such a way, your attention will be reduced by 50%. Always try to face a white wall, so there is nothing to distract you. Prepare all the tools you need before you sit down to study. In addition to textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, a dictionary is also required. If you do not study while your study desk or table is needed, put all your equipment into a box beside it.
Reading your books on a flat level can make your eyes tired. So keep your book at an angle of about 30 degrees on horizon.
Be realistic and don't try to do too many tasks at a time of study. Finish one thing; then do another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but don't call your friends or eat.
19. What has seriously affected students' ability and test scores?
答案：B
点睛解析：在文章开头部分就提到，许多学生认为不能集中注意力严重影响了他们的学习能力和考试成绩。所以选项B“不能集中注意力”是正确答案。
20. What will happen if you watch TV while you are studying?
答案：C
点睛解析：该题也可根据常识判断，学习的时候看电视，学习效率肯定不高，而且对学习肯定会有影响，所以选项A、选项B排除；选项D“学习成绩会下降”并不是看电视的必然结果；选项C“注意力会降低”符合常识，而且，文中提到“注意力会降低50%”，所以选C。
21. How do you make your eyes feel less tired when you are reading?
答案：C
点睛解析：文中提到Reading books on the level can make your eyes feel tired. So keep your book at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizon. “阅读时把书放在水平面上会使眼睛感到疲劳，所以保持书与水平面呈三十度角。”由此可知，选项C是正确答案。
• Passage Three
Time Spent in a Bookshop
Whether you are a book lover or just want to buy a book as a gift, the time in the bookstore is probably the most enjoyable. You may even walk into the bookstore looking for shelter just because of the sudden rain. Whatever the reason, you will soon forget about the environment around you.
The desire to pick up a book whose cover is attractive is hard to resist, but this method of selection is not desirable, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
Soon you will be absorbed in reading a book, and usually it takes long to realize that you have spent a lot of time in the bookstore and have to rush to a date that has been forgotten—without buying a book, of course.
In my view, the main attraction of the bookstore is to provide an opportunity to escape from the reality of daily life and there are not so many places where it is possible to do this. You can go around such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, there is no assistant coming to you with inevitable greeting, "What can I do for you, sir?" The bookstore clerk should stay behind the scenes until you finish browsing.
At that time, it is only then that his service was necessary. Of course, you might want to know where a particular area is, but when he has led you there, he should be careful to leave, looking as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
22. What is probably the most enjoyable according to the passage?
答案：A
点睛解析：文章第一句话就提到，在书店里的时间可能是最令人愉快的，所以选A。
23. What is hard to resist in the bookshop?
答案：B
点睛解析：在文中我们可以听到The desire to pick up a book whose cover is attractive is hard to resist，“挑选一本封面有吸引力的书，这种欲望是难以抗拒的”，由此可知，选B“挑一本封面很吸引人的书”。
24. What is the main attraction of the bookshop?
答案：D
点睛解析：本题答案很明显，在文中可以听到the main attraction of the bookstore is to provide an opportunity to escape from the reality of daily life，“书店主要的吸引力就是可以提供一个让人逃离现实生活的机会”，所以选D。
25. What should the bookshop clerk do when you are browsing?
答案：B
点睛解析：选项A“紧紧地跟着”、选项C“置之不理”、D“总是询问”均与文意不符，所以可排除。B“在你有需要的时候提供服务”与原文一致，所以选B。 超精讲，分类练，英语四级简单过
