复合式听力在英语四级考试中算得上是一个大难点了，那么如何才能攻下这个难点呢?出国留学网(www.liuxue86.com)四六级频道小编特意为大家整理了英语四六级复合式听力的备考技巧，希望对大家有所帮助!
1.如何练成扎实的单词拼写能力?
请写出以下三个单词，看你是否可以过关?
餐厅 日程表 同事
Keys： Restaurant schedule colleague
若全对，则证明你的拼写能力为较好或合格(因为单词不难)，若错一部分或全错，则需要注意，你的复合式听写的基础能力需要提高。
此处我们不谈如何背单词，只提醒大家背哪些单词。所有考试中听力部分的词汇最为口语化，且在所有部分使用频度最高。所以我们的要求大家将2003年-2009年6月所有四级真题听力部分的原文和选项部分的词汇全部背会。要求听懂且能够准确拼写。
2.如何边听边写?
解决了第一个能力之后，一些简单的小方法就可以在题目中使用了。
2-1 缩写法。用首1-2字母缩写听到的词，这样会写得更快;
2-2 写句子的头尾。在记忆一个整句的时候，考生都更加容易记住句子的开始和结尾，先写这些内容，也可以增加分数。
2-3 有舍有得。一些修饰性词汇，例如副词和形容词，并非重点。而对句子含义不影响的成分一般不扣分。比如06年12月的句子“it usually takes more words to be polite”中的usually就不是重点，就可以不写。
另外，考生也可以把更多看题时间留给听写，听写中高频出现的词汇不仅是文章的主题，更有可能出现在后三句的答案2中。
You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways depending on the situation they are in. This is very 1. All languages have two general levels of 2: a formal level and an informal level. English is no 3 . The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a 4 level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks， 5books and in business letters. You would also use formal English in compositions and6 that you write in school. Informal language is used in conversation with 7 ， family members and friends， and when we write8 notes or letters to close friends. Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. First， formal language tends to be more polite.9For example， I might say to a friend or a family member “Close the door， please”，10 Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary.
11 Let’s say that I really like soccer. If I am talking to my friend， I might say “I am just crazy about soccer”， but if I were talking to my boss， I would probably say “I really enjoy soccer”.
答案及解析
1、natural
2、usage
3、exception
4、particular (特别的，特定的)。另一个：peculiar (奇特的，罕见的)也不好拼写。
5、reference (参考)
6、essays (paper指学期或学年论文，essay指一般性的课堂的小论文)
7、colleagues
8、personal
9、What we may find interesting is that it usually takes more words to be polite.
本句话初听有一定难度。但是却可以把What we may find interesting写出，而尾部的to be polite也很容易，仅仅这个头尾，就可以至少得到满分2分中的一分。
10、But to a stranger， I probably would say “Would you mind closing the door?”
本句要小心标点符号。
11、There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal.
Be bound to 意思是：必然会…。本句的重点并非是这个短语。正式听力时，一旦遇到很难的或没有学过的短语或词汇，我们可以考虑舍弃。而本句如果改版为some words and phrases are formal and others are informal.同样可以获得很好的分数?
