Although much has been done by researchers like O’Malley, Bacon, Richard, there is still some argument about what are listening comprehension strategies, how they can be classified, and what, as well as how they can be taught in class. This article is intended to contribute some ideas to these controversial fields of research on Listening Comprehension Strategy.\;For the theoretical aspect, the writers of this article venture a system of strategies, which is based on the well-established cognitive classification of learning strategies, and at the same time includes those strategies characteristic of listening comprehension.\;For the practical aspect, in order to find out on what strategies students need more training, a survey has been conducted on how students (first year and second year non-English majors) make use of listening comprehension strategies in the process of listening comprehension. By analyzing the students’ response to the survey, the writers of this article find that both first year and second year students are weak at using listening comprehension strategies. Of the 25 strategies, only 8 strategies are within the students’ command. This is explained as a result of lack of training in class. The writers appeal for more strategy-consciousness on the part of English teachers. The writers also find that the most serious problem in strategy using lies in discourse strategies, the difficulty of which often goes hand in hand with that in reading comprehension. And the training of discourse strategies is predicted by the writers of this article to be the most difficult part of listening class.\;展开更多

To optimize regional industrial structure and to select and determine scientifically the spatial development strategy of regional industries are the central themes to be solved for the research on regional comprehensive development in the developed regions. This paper proposed the basis for optimizing regional industrial structure, and the main factors of selecting and determining the regional leading industries. Based on this, the paper puts forward the leading industries and the spatial development strategy in Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou area in the future ten or more years. Combined with the situation of Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou area, the paper also discusses some problems of locating superior developing axis to benefit the rational distribution of regional productive forces.展开更多

Four different states of fixed mass, variable mass, fixed slope and variableslope were set to simulate real-time working conditions, respectively. A comprehensive electric commercial vehicleshifting strategy was formulated according to the identification results. The co-simulation results showed that,compared with the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm, the proposed algorithm could identify the real-timevehicle mass and road gradient quickly and accurately. The comprehensive shifting strategy formulated had thefollowing advantages, e.g., avoiding frequent shifting of vehicles up the hill, making full use ofmotor braking downthe hill, and improving the overall performance of vehicles.展开更多

We also know that, it comprises one major section of the standard and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) tests. Taking into account its importance and the problems which EFL learners have answered them, I get motivated to uncover some of the test-taking strategies which they employ to answer multiple-choice reading comprehension questions when dealing with familiar versus unfamiliar topics. To get a better conclusion, I choose 20 advanced male and female candidates whose English proficiency is at an acceptable level and at least at the same age level, and they major in English language from different colleges and universities. They are given two reading comprehension passages (familiar and unfamiliar), each one with five final questions and allotted time to answer the questions. Two main instruments in this study are a retrospective think-aloud protocol and a semi-structured interview. The results of the reading comprehension tests and interview part revealed that advanced learners' high scores in the familiar topic were not because of their strategy use but because of their high linguistic and background knowledge on the topic. I also concluded that the number, kind, and sequence of strategies employed, were greatly dependent on the degree of testees' familiarity on the topic. In other words, test-takers used more strategies to compensate for their lack of linguistic knowledge.展开更多
