二、从提问方式看考点
考试大纲规定英语专业四级的短文理解难度和托福短文相当，基本上也和大学英语六级的短文难度差不多，但是考查的理解技能有所差别，这一点从对话理解中也有所体现。
简单而言，英语专业四级的听力理解考查的一个重要理解技能就是对信息的筛选，对比理解能力，在命题过程中体现于信息比较的题占较大比重，兼顾对事实细节、主旨大意和说话者意图等理解能力的考查。
信息比较题：信息比较题考查考生处理不同信息的能力，大约有四分之一的题目属于信息比较题。常见的提问方式有：
Which of the following statements about the symbols is
INCORRECT?
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
Which of the following is CORRECT?
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
In the old days dogs were used for the following EXCEPT
Parents who abuse their children tend to have the following
problems EXCEPT
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as part of
hotel facilities for guests?
A hotel for an international conference should have the following
EXCEPT
The following have been significant in the area’s prosperity
EXCEPT
Throughout his life, Leonardo da Vinci worked as all the following
EXCEPT
题干中多采用否定词NOT或INCORRECT，或者EXCEPT等排他性质的词语，容易被忽视，造成答题失误，考生应当特别留意。
例题1（2012年真题）
If you are a resident, you will find it useful to open a bank
account. All the large banks
have a network of branches
across the country, and all offer similar services. A visit to any
one
of them will be a friendly experience, however, to open
an account you have to be prepared
to prove your identity in
a number of ways. You will find your passport useful. But the bank
will also want to see some form of proof that you are living
where you say you are. This can
be proven by a housing rent
book, a tax form, water or electricity bill for the property, as
long
as it’s in your name in the bank and elsewhere. You may
hear the term utility bill, this simply
refers to bills
relating to the provision of services to your home, such as
electricity, gas, water,
and telephone. There are other
local facilities, such as post offices, where you can save your
money and have access to affordable low cost loans where
they exist in your local area. Contact
details can be
obtained from the citizens advice bureau.
Questions:
11. In order to open a bank account, you need to produce____in

解析：这三道题目都是属于信息比较题，基本上都是属于细节类题目，无需推理。这类题目需要考生边听边做笔记，或者边听边浏览题目，按照录音顺序和题目顺序的对应方式来解答。
推理题：推理题无法直接从字面意思中获取信息，需要做一定的逻辑推理，获取隐含信息。常见的提问方式有：
The passage is mainly about
What is the main idea of the talk?
How should cheer-leading be viewed according to the passage?
From the passage we can learn that the speaker
Which course(s) is(are) the shortest?
The passage probably comes from

例题2（2009年真题）
Recently a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their
baby son 4Real.
Even though New Zealand has quite liberal
rules about naming children, names beginning with
a number
are not allowed. They decided to call him Superman
instead....
Question: According to New Zealand’s rules about naming children,
which of the following
names is NOT acceptable?
A. Spiderman. B. Gandalf. C. 2win. D. Arsenal.
解析：这道题目属于典型的推理题：文中提到“4Real”这样的名字在新西兰不被接受，可知C也是同样的“数字+单词”规则，不可能被接受。
事实和细节题：这类题型在短文听力中占有很大比重。提问形式多样，特殊疑问句和一般陈述句都可用于考查考生获取具体信息和重要信息的能力。解答时，首先从题干中提炼关键词，按照题目的出现顺序，在听力的过程中留意和题干吻合的录音文字，一旦某一选项包含这样的信息，很有可能就是正确答案。近几年的提问形式有：
How do the cheerleaders perform their jobs?
How old was Leonardo da Vinci when he moved to Milan?
What does the speaker suggest girls do when they are going to be
out late?
What is the speaker’s last advice?
