前言

　　为适应我国高等教育发展的新形式，深化教学改革，提高教学质量，满足新时期国家和社会对人才培养的需要，教育部于2007年7月颁发了《大学英语课程教学要求》，进一步明确了大学英语的教学目标是“培养学生的英语综合应用能力，特别是听说能力，使他们在今后学习、工作和社会交往中能用英语有效地进行交际，同时增强其自主学习能力，提高综合文化素养，以适应我国社会发展和国际交流的需要”。　　近年来，大学英语四级考试题型和内容革故鼎新，日臻完善，对于学生听力水平的要求越来越高。听力由原来所占20％的整体比例一跃提升为35％。2008年12月开始试行的大学英语四级计算机考试中内容包括70％的听力和30％的阅读。作文采用“听力+作文”的模式。而新增的“跟读”试题，则是给一段语音材料，让学生复述，考查考生的发音和英语表达能力。机考是“一人一机一套题”，考题涉及诸多领域，大多为CNN、VOA、BBC等媒体的讲座、报告、对话、访谈、新闻等，语音上由过去单纯的美音朗读变为现在的英音和美音交替朗读。　　教育部高教司对高等教育听力也有了新的思路和指导，以听力为基础的大学英语四、六级考试颠覆了以前阅读先行或阅读听力并行的状况，听力成为说、读、写、译的基础。英语听力是纲，其他都是目，只有抓住了听力，才能纲举目张。
