Question

Active listening is an essential skill in learning．It is when you listen carefully to make sure you understand and learn the information that is being conveyed．     61   Here are some things which can help you to listen actively．

◆Listen for the main point and major subpoints．   62   Listen carefully and make sure you understand what the purpose of this lecture is． As you take down notes,

keep the main point in mind and make sure you understand how these notes are related．

◆Listen for an organizational structure． Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and they will make more sense．

◆Pay attention to organizational cues．     63    Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will probably indicate how you should organize your notes． If the lecture begins with, “Today I’m going to talk about three ethnic conflicts in the Middle East,” then you have a good idea of what’s going to follow． Listen for “signpost” words to indicate a transition for one point to the next, such as “next” and “finally” and numerical signposts like “first” or “third”．

◆Listen with your eyes．   64    Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points．

◆Remove distractions．

Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that might be more interesting than the lecturer．

 D

【解析】

试题分析：

 Ｂ从空格下一句Here are some things which can help you to listen actively是承上启下，后面是解决问题。可知空格处应该是提出问题：许多学生听课时不知怎么来积极听。

 Ｇ根据空格上一句Listen for the main point and major subpoints听要抓重点，与Don’t just write everything down吻合，意思是不要一味的把所有的东西都写下。

 从Pay attention to organizational cues可知谈论组织结构，故选E

 Listen with your eyes，眼睛是不会发声的。跟nonverbal communication对应，因此选A

 从倒数第二句可知，最后一句应该是总结，号召，提出希望之类的句子，故选D
