在听力高考中，考生首先听到的都是一段时长两分多钟的试音材料。绝大部分学生都认为听不听这段材料无所谓，作用也不大，于是把点时间用在了调整情绪或者胡思乱想上。但我认为，充分利用试音材料也是有很大作用的。否则的话，不可能在弥足珍贵的高考即将开始的时间里，白白占用这两分钟的时间的。在播出试音的时间里，考生还没有拿到试卷，也正好无事可做，不妨就静下心来认真听听试音材料，达到两个目的。
一是熟悉主播声音。从这几年山东听力高考来看，两位主播是不固定的，几乎年年换人。而主播的语音、语调和语速对考生来说是有一定影响的。考生正好利用试音材料充分感受熟悉主播们的声音，做到心中有数，为接下来的听力正式考试做好充分的心理准备。
二是增强信心。纵观全国听力试音材料，许多年来一直都保持固定，即关于咨询报名一个俱乐部的话题。考生完全可以利用一点时间将这段材料熟记于心，到考场上就会和听到的试音内容达到十分默契的地步，甚至清楚下一句是什么内容，这对增强自信心是有一定帮助的。只要信心有了，听力取得优异的成绩就又增加了些胜算。
总之，考生对待听力试音部分的态度不应该是可有可无的，而是要充分重视，为马上开始的正式考试做好全面的准备。最后，祝所有考生在1月8日上午进行的听力高考中取得理想成绩，迎来2024年高考的“开门红”。
附上近几年听力试音材料原文：
Hello. International Friends Club. Can I help you?
Oh, hello. I read about your club in the paper today and I thought I'd phone to find out a bit more.
Yes, certainly. Well, we're a sort of social club for people from different countries.
It's quite a new club—we have about 50 members at the moment but we are growing all the time.
That sounds interesting.
I'm British actually, and I came to Washington about three months ago.
I'm looking for ways to meet people.
Er, what kinds of events do you organize?
Well, we have social get-togethers, and sports events, and we also have language evenings.
Could you tell me something about the language evenings?
Yes. Every day except Thursday we have a language evening.
People can come and practise their languages—you know, over a drink or something.
We have different languages on different evenings.
Monday—Spanish; Tuesday—Italian; Wednesday—German; and Friday—French.On Thursday we usually have a meal in a restaurant for anyone who wants to come.
Well, that sounds great. I really need to practise my French.
OK. Well, if you can just give me your name and address, I'll send you the form and some more information.If you join now, you can have the first month free.
