众所周知,学好一门语言最重要的是要能听会说。过去中考以笔试为主,因而英语教学也就偏重于书面语言,过分强调语言知识点和语法的掌握运用,而忽略了听说能力的培养。随着中考的不断改革,听力测试在考试中已占据很大比例,切实提高英语听力水平,实现英语交际目的已迫在眉睫。 As we all know, the most important thing in learning a language is to be able to listen to the talks. In the past, the entrance exam was mainly written. Therefore, English teaching was also focused on written language. It emphasized too much on the mastery of linguistic knowledge and grammar, and neglected the cultivation of listening and speaking ability. With the continuous reform of the examination, the listening test has occupied a large proportion in the examination. It is extremely urgent to effectively improve the level of English listening and achieve the goal of communicating in English.
