在漫长的30分钟四级听力中，最怕的就是捡了芝麻，丢了西瓜。最重要的信息经常会因为一时疏忽而丢掉分数。所以，在四级听力中，一定要抓住以下这七类关键词！

一、转折性词汇

学会听转折词汇，如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.

二、逻辑类词汇

表原因：because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to；

表结果：therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;

表递进：apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.

三、最高级词汇

形容词和副词的最高级最需要关注，如most importantly, the most popular... the biggest of...

四、事实罗列词汇

在诸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.这些词汇后可能是关键的考点

五、序数词

如the first, firstly and finally

六、情态动词

如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc

七、重要形容词

表示重要的词本身就很重要呢，如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.
