IELTS 聽力測驗資訊

IELTS 聽力測驗分為 4 個部分。在每個部分中,您將聽到一位或多位英語母語者的錄音,然後回答大約 10 題與內容相關的問題。整個 IELTS 聽力測驗共有 40 題。 一般而言,錄音會從較簡單開始,並在測驗進行中逐漸變難。每段錄音僅播放一次,並包含多種口音,例如英式、澳洲、紐西蘭、美式及加拿大口音。

  • 第 1 部分 – 兩人在日常社交情境中的對話。例如:確認預訂細節、電話下訂單等情況。
  • 第 2 部分 – 日常社交情境中的獨白。例如:介紹當地設施、提供方向指引、解說某活動的基本資訊。
  • 第 3 部分 – 最多四人在教育或訓練情境中的對話。例如:大學導師與學生討論作業、學生之間討論課堂內容等。
  • 第 4 部分 – 學術主題的獨白,例如教授的講課。對多數學生而言,這是聽力測驗中最具挑戰性的部分。

IELTS 聽力測驗大約需要 40 分鐘。 您將花 30 分鐘聆聽錄音並回答問題。 您會拿到 Question Booklet(試題冊)Answer Sheet(答案紙)。 試題冊上會顯示所有問題,而答案紙則是您最後作答、提交評分的地方。

您可以查看 官方 IELTS 聽力答案紙 PDF,或參考下方圖片 :)

在聽力測驗結束後,您會有 10 分鐘時間將答案從試題冊轉寫到答案紙上。

重要提醒!
拼字錯誤與文法錯誤都會被判定為 錯誤,因此請利用這 10 分鐘仔細檢查拼字與文法。

IELTS 聽力分數換算方式

在聽力部分,每題皆為 1 分,因此最高可獲得 40 分的「原始分數」。接著,原始分會轉換成您的 band score。 請記住!答錯不會倒扣分。 下表提供原始分數轉換為 band score 的大致參考。

原始分數 Band 分數
39-409
37-388.5
35-368
32-347.5
30-317
26-296.5
23-256
18-225.5
16-175
13-154.5
11-124

由於每份 IELTS 測驗的難度略有不同,因此達到某個 band 分數所需的原始分數會因整體考生表現而有所變動。 換言之,各場測驗間所需的正確題數可能略有差異,但通常若想達到 band 7,建議目標為 40 題中答對約 30 題。

如上所述,IELTS 聽力測驗的題目會隨部分逐漸變難, 但每一題的分值相同。 因此,請確保不要因為卡在較難的題目而錯失較容易的分數。

您在上面的 IELTS 聽力範例題表現如何呢?有沒有遇到比較困難的題目? 如果有,建議您深入了解所有 6 種 IELTS 聽力題型。 對題型理解越透徹,就能減少花在理解題意的時間,把更多心力用在找出正確答案。

6 種 IELTS 聽力題型

IELTS 聽力測驗一共有 6 種不同題型。要拿高分,你需要針對每一種題型反覆練習,熟悉最有效的解題方式。 在接下來的內容中,你會認識所有 6 種 IELTS 聽力題型,並且為每一種題型試做一題範例。

在開始逐一介紹各題型之前,我們先看看 2017 年 IELTS 聽力題型的出題趨勢。 下面的圓餅圖顯示的是 2017 年官方 IELTS 聽力考試中,各題型出現的比例。

IELTS 聽力題型分佈 – 第 1、2 部分(Sections 1 & 2)

整體來說,第 1 部分最常出現的題型是「Form/Note/Table/Flow-Chart/Summary Completion(表格/筆記/表格/流程圖/摘要填空)」。 而在第 2 部分中,四種題型「Matching(配對題)」、「Multiple choice(選擇題)」、「Plan/Map/Diagram labelling(平面圖/地圖/圖表標註)」以及 「Form/Note/Table/Flow-Chart/Summary Completion」出現的比例相對接近。

Flow Chart Completion 5

雖然每一種題型在題目外觀上都不太一樣,但整體解題思路其實有共通原則。 在文章後半段,我們會示範一套可以套用在 6 種題型上的基本策略。 現在先來逐一看各題型的詳細說明。

題型 1 – Sentence Completion(句子填空)

在這種題型中,你需要用一個簡短的答案把句子補完整。 題目中的句子幾乎一定是聽力內容的「改寫版本」,也就是說,你在錄音裡 通常聽不到和題目一模一樣的句子,而是同樣意思、不同說法。 一定要非常仔細閱讀指示。例如,如果指示寫著 NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS, 那就代表最多只能寫兩個字,寫超過兩個字就會被扣分。答案可以是一個字,也可以是兩個字,但絕對不會超過兩個字。

Audio script
Two friends, Rachel and Paul:, are discussing studying with the Open University. Rachel has already done a course at the university, but Paul: has not. The extract relating to these questions comes from the last part of the recording.

Paul: The other thing I wanted to ask you was, did you find it hard, studying with the Open University?

Rachel: You mean, because you're studying on your own, most of the time?

Paul: Mm.

Rachel: Well it took me a while to get used to it. I found I needed to maintain a high level of motivation, because it's so different from school. There's no-one saying, ‘Why haven't you written your assignment yet?' and that sort of thing.

Paul: Oh dear.

Rachel: You'll learn it, Paul. Another thing was that I got very good at time- management because I had to fit time for studying round a full-time job.

Paul: Well I'm hoping to change to working part-time, so that'll help.

Rachel: What makes it easier is that the degree is made up of modules, so you can take time off between them if you need to. It isn't like a traditional three-or four-year course, where you've got to do the whole thing of it in one go.

Paul: That's good, because I'd like to spend six months travelling next year.

Rachel: Huh, it's all right for some. Then even though you're mostly studying at home, remember you've got tutors to help you, and from time to time there are summer schools. They usually last a week. They're great, because you meet all the other people struggling with the same things as you. I've made some really good friends that way.

Paul: Sounds good. So how do I apply?

題型 2 – Matching(配對題)

在 Matching 題型中,你必須把聽力中出現的一串「編號項目」,和題目上給出的「選項列表」配對起來。 這類題目主要考你聽取「細節」的能力,還要聽得出不同資訊之間的關係與連結。 例如,你可能需要分辨幾種不同類型的飯店或住宿。作答前,一定要先分析題目,把各個選項的「分類標準」看懂, 這樣在聽的時候才知道自己是在查哪一個類別。

(A customer has been arranging with a shipping agent to send a large box overseas. This is the last part of the conversation.)

You will hear a Communication Studies student talking to his tutor about optional courses for the next semester.

Dr Ray: Come in. Oh hello Jack. Have a seat. Right ... you said you wanted to see me to talk about your options next semester?

Jack: That's right. We have to decide by the end of next week. Really, I'd like to do all five options but we have to choose two, don't we.

Dr Ray: Yes, but the choice depends on your major to some extent. You're majoring in Communication Studies, aren't you?

Jack: That's right.

Dr Ray: So for example the Media Studies Option will cover quite a lot of the same area you did in the core module on mass communications this semester - the development of the media through the last two series, in relation to political and social issues.
Jack: Mmm. Well that was interesting, but I've decided I'd rather do something completely new. There's a Women's Studies option, isn't there?

Dr Ray: Yes, 'Women and Power' – again it has a historical focus, it aims to contextualise women's studies by looking at the legal and social situation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries …

Jack: So it would be useful if I intended to specialise in women's studies ... but I'm not sure I do actually.
Dr Ray: Well, it might still be useful to give you an idea of the issues involved. It's taught by Dr Steed.

Jack: Oh, really? I'll sign up for that, then. What about the option on Culture and Society?

Dr Ray: That addresses the historical debate on the place of culture since the Industrial Revolution in Britain.

Jack: So a historical focus again ...

Dr Ray: Do I get the message you're not so keen on history?

Jack: Well, it's just we seem to have done quite a lot this semester … Listening sample task – Matching (example 1) anyway I'll think about that one.

Dr Ray: If you're interested in a course focusing on current issues there's the option on Identity and Popular Culture – that approaches the subject through things like contemporary film, adverts, soap operas and so on.

Jack: Oh? That sounds interesting. Can you tell me who runs it?

Dr Ray: Well, it's normally Dr Stevens but he's on sabbatical next semester, so I'm not sure who'll be running it. It should be decided by next week though.

Jack: Right, well I might wait until then to decide ... And the last option is Introduction to Cultural Theory, isn't it. I'm quite interested in that too – I was talking to one of the second year students, and she said it was really useful, it made a lot of things fall into place.

Dr Ray: Yes, but in fact in your major, you'll have covered a lot of that already in Communications 102, so that might be less useful than some of the others.

Jack: Oh, I'll forget about that one, then.

Dr Ray: Now while you're here, we could also discuss how you're getting on with your Core Module assignment ...

題型 3 – Plan / Map / Diagram Labelling(平面圖/地圖/圖表標註)

在這種題型中,你必須在平面圖(例如建築平面圖)、地圖(例如一個城鎮的一部分), 或圖示(例如某個設備的結構圖)上填入正確的標籤。 答案通常是從題目給出的選項列表中選出來的。 這種題型可能出現在所有部分,但最常出現在第 2 部分。 在第 2 部分,你通常會聽到一個人描述日常生活情境, 比方說帶人參觀校園、介紹某個場地給投資人等等。

You will hear the librarian of a new town library talking to a group of people who are visiting the library.

OK everyone. So here we are at the entrance to the town library. My name is Ann, and I'm the chief librarian here, and you'll usually find me at the desk just by the main entrance here. So I'd like to tell you a bit about the way the library is organised, and what you'll find where … and you should all have a plan in front of you. Well, as you see my desk is just on your right as you go in, and opposite this the first room on your left has an excellent collection of reference books and is also a place where people can read or study peacefully. Just beyond the librarian's desk on the right is a room where we have up to date periodicals such as newspapers and magazines and this room also has a photocopier in case you want to copy any of the articles. If you carry straight on you'll come into a large room and this is the main library area. There is fiction in the shelves on the left, and non-fiction materials on your right, and on the shelves on the far wall there is an excellent collection of books relating to local history. We're hoping to add a section on local tourist attractions too, later in the year. Through the far door in the library just past the fiction shelves is a seminar room, and that can be booked for meetings or talks, and next door to that is the children's library, which has a good collection of stories and picture books for the under elevens. Then there's a large room to the right of the library area – that's the multimedia collection, where you can borrow videos and DVDs and so on, and we also have CD-Roms you can borrow to use on your computer at home. It was originally the art collection but that's been moved to another building. And that's about it – oh, there's also the Library Office, on the left of the librarian's desk. OK, now does anyone have any questions?

題型 4 – Form / Note / Table / Flow-chart / Summary Completion (表格/筆記/表單/流程圖/摘要填空)

在這一類題型中,你會看到一張表格、一份筆記、一個表單、一個流程圖,或是一段摘要,然後必須根據聽力內容把缺少的資訊補上。 有時你需要從題目給出的選項列表中選出答案;有時則要直接從錄音中聽出正確的字,並且嚴格遵守題目要求的字數上限。

  1. a form(表單):
    表單題最常出現在第 1 部分。你會替某個申請表、訂購表或預約表填資料。 通常是兩人的電話對話,一方在訂購、預約或詢問資訊,另一方在協助填寫。
  2. a set of notes(筆記):
    筆記題常出現在第 4 部分。你會聽一段大學講課內容,搭配一份不完整的講義筆記, 必須依照講課內容補上缺漏的重點。
  3. a table(表格):
    表格題通常用來整理多項資訊,例如地點、時間、價格等, 你需要把表格中缺少的欄位依照錄音內容完整填寫。
  4. a flow-chart(流程圖):
    流程圖題會呈現一個過程、計畫或一連串事件, 你必須用錄音中的資訊完成整個流程,可能是填入文字,也可能是從選項中選出對應的答案。
  5. a summary(摘要):
    摘要題會給你一小段文字,概括整段聽力內容, 你需要根據錄音補上摘要中的空格,使整段內容完整通順。

同樣地,你一定要仔細看清楚指示。如果指示寫著「NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS」,那就代表最多只能寫兩個字, 寫超過就會被判錯。

A: OK and what is the total value, do you think, of the contents?

B: Sorry, could you explain a bit more?

簡答題會先給你一個問題,要求你用少量文字、根據聽力內容寫出答案。 題目通常會限制字數,例如「No more than two words」。 如果你寫超過指示的字數上限,答案會被判為錯誤 這類題目常常要你找出屬於同一「類別」的細節資訊。 例如,題目可能會這樣問: What TWO factors can make social contact in a foreign country difficult? (在外國與人社交時,有哪「兩個」因素會造成困難?)

Audio Script
You will hear an extract from a talk given to a group who are going to stay in the UK. Good evening, and welcome to the British Council. My name is John Parker and I've been asked to talk to you briefly about certain aspects of life in the UK before you actually go there. So I'm going to talk first about the best ways of making social contacts there. Now you might be wondering why it should be necessary. After all, we meet people all the time. But when you're living in a foreign country it can be more difficult, not just because of the language, but because customs may be different. If you're going to work in the UK you will probably be living in private accommodation, so it won't be quite so easy to meet people. But there are still things that you can do to help yourself. First of all, you can get involved in activities in your local community, join a group of some kind. For example, you'll probably find that there are theatre groups who might be looking for actors, set designers and so on, or if you play an instrument you could join music groups in your area. Or if you like the idea of finding out about local history there'll be a group for that too. These are just examples. And the best places to get information about things like this are either the town hall or the public library. Libraries in the UK perform quite a broad range of functions nowadays – they're not just confined to lending books, although that's their main role of course.

有效準備 IELTS 聽力的 3 大步驟

雖然每種 IELTS 聽力題型都有些差異,但其實解題的核心方法是一樣的。 你只需要依照一組簡單、循序的策略,就能應付所有題型。 以下是我們建議你在聽力測驗中使用的三個步驟:

  1. 仔細閱讀題目,找出關鍵資訊
  2. 在播放音檔前預測可能的答案
  3. 一邊聽一邊對照題目,確保跟上內容
Step 1:仔細閱讀題目

在 IELTS 聽力測驗中,錄音開始前你通常會有 30~40 秒的準備時間。 這段時間非常關鍵,你必須用來快速預覽即將作答的題目。 這個步驄的目的,就是讓你避免在邊聽邊第一次閱讀題目時手忙腳亂。

當準備時間開始時,請盡可能有效率地閱讀題目,並找出以下資訊:

  • 這是哪一種類型的題目?
  • 答案會是什麼形式?(例如:日期、數字、姓名等)
  • 題目中最重要的單字或片語是什麼?

以下是一個 Note Completion(筆記填空)的例子:


Questions 27–28

Complete the notes below.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Two reasons for the new approach to pricing are changes in (27) and (28) programs.

接著,你可以將題目中的關鍵字畫線,例如:

Two reasons for the new approach to pricing are changes in (27) ______ and (28) ______ programs.

在聽音檔時,只要聽到「two reasons」就應該提高注意力。 以下是揭示答案的錄音原文:

Interviewer: Mark, why do you think revenue management has become so popular?

Mark: Well, there seem to be two basic reasons. Firstly, because the law has changed recently … And secondly, we now have computer programs …

仔細分析題目後,你就能知道正確答案分別是 lawcomputer

Step 2:預測可能的答案

第二步和第一步密切相關,而且最好在同樣的 20 秒內同時完成。 雖然聽起來困難,但只要掌握題目形式、答案可能的格式,以及關鍵字, 就能有效預測答案的大方向。

回到剛才的例子:

Two reasons for the new approach to pricing are changes in (27) ____ and (28) ____ programs.

只看題目的語法,你就能推測答案必定是名詞或名詞片語,因為它們位於介系詞 in 之後。 此外,由內容推測,答案可能和政策(law)、科技(computer)有關。

雖然你不可能完全猜出正確答案,但有預測就能讓你在聽力時更專注於相關資訊,提升作答效率。

以下是另一個較難的選擇題例子,讓你把步驟 1 和步驟 2 一起練習:


Questions 23–26

Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.

24. According to the conversation, theatre tickets are lowest when they
  1. are for weekend shows
  2. are booked well in advance
  3. are non-refundable
  4. are booked for groups

雖然無法事先知道正確答案,但你可以預測「哪些情況可能影響票價」, 並在聽力時針對相關資訊提高注意力。

Sally: … the ticket agent said the price you pay depends on things like whether you make a group booking … weekend show … it's cheaper if you buy a ticket where you can’t get a refund

雖然三個選項都有被提到,但只有 C. are non-refundable 被明確指出「比較便宜」,因此是正確答案。

Step 3:跟著內容走(Follow Along)

錄音開始後,你必須一邊聽、一邊對照題目,確保在正確的題目位置上。

聽力的題目通常會依照錄音內容的順序排列, 也就是說,當你聽到某題的答案時,下一題也會緊接著出現。 因此,只要你能跟上內容,就不容易迷失方向。

若你不小心錯過某一題,最好的做法就是略過它,繼續往下寫。 等錄音結束後,你再回來用推理方式填上最佳猜測。 這樣至少能確保你不會因為卡在一題而錯過後面的答案。
