托福聽力重聽題:送分題了解一下
托福聽力題型中的重聽題大致可分為:
1.推斷類,問法一般是:what does the professor?mean?when he says this-2.態(tài)度類,一般的問法是:why does the professor say this-意在考察考生能否理解說話人說話人說這句話的原因,目的和態(tài)度,能否明白字面以外的意思。
重聽題在大部分情況下都可以通過只聽題目來解題。 ETS通過此類題目重在考察對(duì)說話人語氣的把握,重聽題選取的情況大致可以分布在以下幾處:1.說話人語氣語調(diào)加強(qiáng)的時(shí)候2.有人提問的時(shí)候3文章結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)接處??忌诼犝犃ξ恼碌臅r(shí)候,在聽到說話人的語氣有特別的加強(qiáng)的時(shí)候就要注意,你不需要記下來這句被加強(qiáng)了的話具體是什么,此時(shí)需要做的是在腦海里留下個(gè)印象,聽出來說話人說話時(shí)候的態(tài)度是什么就可以了,然后等你回過頭來做重聽題又剛好問到這句話的時(shí)候就可以有很大的把握答對(duì)這道題目了。
接下來我們來舉幾個(gè)例子:
在TPO12-c1中有這么一道題目
(語音)Student: Yeah, I never know how much to include. You know…where to draw the line-
Professor: Tell me about it!
What does the professor mean when she says this-
A. She understands the student's problem.
B. She wants the student to explain his comment.
C. She did not hear what the student said.
D. She does not accept the student's excuse.
解釋:看這道重聽的問法是屬于推斷題,英語里tell me about it是一種很常見的口語表達(dá),表示贊同的意思,并不是字面上的"跟我講講"的意思。所以說考生如果熟悉這個(gè)英語的固定表達(dá)方式的話就可以很輕松的做對(duì)這道題目。答案選A
接下來我們來看下態(tài)度題(TPO7-L3)的例子
(語音)Student: I know people make utensils out of wood, but utensils out of tree bark-
why does the student say this -
A. To share what he knows about birch wood
B. To point out a misprint in the textbook
C. To bring up a point from a?previous?lecture
D. To request more explanation from the professor 解釋:我們能夠聽出來學(xué)生對(duì)"utensils"這個(gè)概念提出了自己的理解,然后再引出了疑問,很明顯他在請(qǐng)求professor 的解釋。另外B和C是無關(guān)選項(xiàng)我們可以排除。然后A選項(xiàng),學(xué)生這句話是圍繞著"utensils"來展開的并不是wood,所以也可以排除。答案選D
最后請(qǐng)大家注意下面例題里說話人的語氣(TPO1-L4)
(語音)Student: Oh, I see. At first I wasn't sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I get it. It's the?amount?of time it takes for them to grow, right- So it would be five months-
Professor: Umm- Oh, uh… I'm sorry but no. It has nothing to do with that.
Why does the professor say this -
A. To inform the student that his definition is incorrect
B. To suggest that the student did not do the reading
C. To encourage the student to try again
D. To change the topic of discussion
解釋:請(qǐng)注意professor 的語氣"Umm-Oh…I'm sorry but no."雖然問題的考點(diǎn)是后面那句話"It has nothing to do with that"但是如果你聽出了professor的語氣的話,你甚至可以在還沒有聽到后面那句陳述句的時(shí)候就能夠從她前面的語氣中明白她對(duì)之前學(xué)生講的這番 話的態(tài)度了。很顯然她是在糾正學(xué)生的錯(cuò)誤,所以答案選A。
