HSK 4 · Listening · questions 26–45

Tips

  • For two-question passages, read both option sets first to know which details to catch (figures, reasons, opinions) — the information for the first question usually comes first.
  • Story and popular-science passages end with a conclusion (所以, 因此, 总之, 这说明, 可见). “这段话主要想告诉我们什么？” is answered by it.
  • Mark options on the paper (or provisionally click on the 网考) the moment the information appears; do not wait for the question.
  • In long dialogues track who suggests, who agrees and the final decision (那我们就…吧).
  • If you miss one, guess and move on to the next options — do not lose the next passage too.

Common traps

  • Choosing a detail for a main-idea question: an option restating one example is true but is not the main idea.
  • Number mix-ups when several figures appear: 三成 = 30 %, 一半 = 50 %, 翻了一倍 = doubled; note each figure with the word attached to it.
  • Mixing up speakers: 男的建议怎么做？ needs the man's suggestion, not the woman's.

  1. 女：你好，我想把这几本中文书寄到越南河内，大概几天能到？

    Hi, I'd like to send these Chinese books to Hanoi, Vietnam. How many days will it take?

  2. 男：我们有两种寄法。快的三四天就能到，一百二十块；慢的差不多要两个星期，只要四十块。

    We have two options. The fast one gets there in three or four days and costs 120 yuan; the slow one takes about two weeks and costs only 40.

  3. 女：书是给我弟弟的，他下个月才开学，不着急用。

    The books are for my younger brother. His term doesn't start until next month, so he's in no hurry.

  4. 男：那时间来得及，您可以选便宜的那种。

    Then there's plenty of time. You can choose the cheaper one.

  5. 女：好，那就寄慢的吧。

    OK, I'll send it the slow way, then.

  6. 旁白：问：女的最后选了哪种寄法？

    Question: Which way of sending did the woman choose in the end?

女的最后选了哪种寄法？

Explanation

Step 1: the question asks “选了哪种寄法” (which way of sending), so keep both options in mind: the fast one, “三四天就能到，一百二十块”, and the slow one, “差不多要两个星期，只要四十块”. Step 2: the decision comes in the last line, “那就寄慢的吧” (I'll send it the slow way). Step 3: the key does not repeat “慢” but describes it by its price, so link “慢的” to “四十块” → C. A is the fast option, which she rejects because her brother is “不着急用” (in no hurry). B is wrong because she sends it now; “两个星期” is the delivery time. D reuses “下个月开学”, but that is when her brother's term starts, not a way of sending.

  1. 男：我的中国朋友小李第一次来河内的时候，我带他去喝越南咖啡。我们没有进咖啡馆，而是坐在路边很矮的小椅子上。小李觉得很奇怪：椅子这么矮，能坐得舒服吗？另外，越南咖啡做得很慢，要等五六分钟才能喝。小李一开始很着急，后来他发现，大家一边等咖啡一边聊天，看着街上的人和车，非常舒服。回国以后，他还买了好几包越南咖啡，现在每天早上都要喝一杯。

    When my Chinese friend Xiao Li came to Hanoi for the first time, I took him to drink Vietnamese coffee. Instead of going into a café, we sat on very low little stools by the road. Xiao Li found it strange: how could such low stools be comfortable? Also, Vietnamese coffee is made slowly — you have to wait five or six minutes before you can drink it. At first Xiao Li was impatient, but then he noticed that people chat while they wait and watch the people and traffic go by, which is very pleasant. After going home he bought several bags of Vietnamese coffee, and now he drinks a cup every morning.

  2. 旁白：问：关于越南咖啡，可以知道什么？

    Question: What do we learn about Vietnamese coffee?

  3. 旁白：问：小李回国以后怎么样？

    Question: What about Xiao Li after he went home?

关于越南咖啡，可以知道什么？

Explanation

With a two-question passage, skim the four options before listening so you know what to listen for: taste, speed, price, where it is sold. The speaker says “越南咖啡做得很慢，要等五六分钟才能喝” (it is made slowly; you wait five or six minutes) → B. C is a number trap: “五六” refers to “五六分钟” (five or six minutes), not the price. D is wrong because “坐在路边” is just where they sat that day; nothing says it is only sold there, and sweetness (A) is not mentioned.

小李回国以后怎么样？

Explanation

The second question usually covers the end of the passage. Listen for the time marker “回国以后” (after going home): Xiao Li “买了好几包越南咖啡，现在每天早上都要喝一杯” (bought several bags and now drinks a cup every morning) → C, with “每天早上” rephrased as “天天早上”. B is the opposite: at first he was only “着急” (impatient) about the wait, not put off coffee. A and D are never mentioned; “来河内” refers to his first visit.
