2011年高考英語考試聽力“讀”題三原則
三、場景性原則
當我們看到高考聽力試題以一種紛繁變化的姿態(tài)出現(xiàn)在我們面前的時候,其實任何一道聽力試題一定是一種題型和一種的場景的復合之后的產(chǎn)物。我們要做的就是把復雜的東西剖開了看,從本質(zhì)上了解它,所以在高考特訓的課堂中也是從題型和場景兩個角度來講述聽力試題。而題型和場景兩者相比較,場景能在讀題過程中將長對話試題更好地串在一起。
因而,考生在讀題的過程中應該盡量發(fā)現(xiàn)試題中出現(xiàn)的線索詞,聯(lián)系課堂中講述過的場景規(guī)律來讀題,在腦海中和形成預判,等錄音響起的時候只要帶著驗證的思想去聽文章就可以了。
例3.1:2008年湖南卷第14-17題
14. What are the speakers complaining about?
A. The loud music B. The strict rules. C. The busy week.
15. When does this conversation probably take place?
A. In the morning B. In the afternoon C. In the evening
16. What are the speakers going to do next?
A. To visit the doctor’s. B. To go to their neighbor’s. C. To call the police.
17. What’s the relationship between the two speakers?
A. Husband and wife B. doctor and patient C. musician and audience
閱讀完14題,我們就能發(fā)現(xiàn)loud music這樣的線索詞,顯然這是噪聲場景,在高考聽力中噪聲通常都是由roommate、neighbor造成的。剩下的我們只要按照常識去推理就可以了。什么時間會覺得噪聲特別吵呢?晚上。之后我們也會很容易想到既然覺得噪聲吵,接下來會干什么呢?自然是去找neighbor,讓他turn the music down。再看17題,兩個人會在大半夜的討論噪聲的問題,那他們之間會是什么關(guān)系?很顯然兩人住在一起,只能是A. Husband and wife。由此,在讀題的過程中,我們就已經(jīng)把試題全部解決了。
2008年湖南卷第14-17題原文:
W: I wish those people across the street would turn their music down. It's so loud.
M: I know, darling. I just can't sleep. They are only allowed to play music up until 10:30 on week nights, and it's already 11:30.
W: I’ll have a really important meeting tomorrow morning. And I'll have to go and see the doctor in the afternoon. If they don't-be quiet soon, I'll never get to sleep.
M: We should go up to their house and ask them to turn it down.
W: Well, I really don't want to talk to them. They are not very friendly people.
M: Anyway, we can at least try. If they don't listen, we'll just pick up the phone and call the police.
W: That sounds like a good idea. Let's get dressed.
例3.2:2008年全國卷15-17題
15. Why did Jane call Mike?
A. To ask him to meet her. B. To tell him about Tom. C. To borrow his car.
16. Where will Jane be in about one hour?
A. At Mike’s place. B. At the airport. C. At a garage.
17. What can we infer from the conversation?
A. Jane has just learned to drive.
B. Jane’s car is in bad condition.
C. Mike will go to the airport.
同樣通讀題中所給的三道問題,可以了解到是這是聽力中的車壞場景。高考聽力中凡是車壞場景中只有女生的車壞,男生的車從來就沒有壞過,女生車壞的時候一定會說一句:I couldn’t start it。閱讀試題后可以發(fā)現(xiàn)題目中提及的人物只有Jane是女生,所以17題中B. Jane’s car is in bad condition.應該是正確選項。順著這樣的思路我們可以繼續(xù)推理,Jane的車不好,所以打電話給Mike,那打電話的原因顯然是C. To borrow his car。如果Jane想借Mike的車,那一個小時后Jane會在哪里呢?顯然是A. At Mike’s place.由此,通過閱讀題目,在聽題之前就可以推測出全部答案。核對原文之后,毫無懸念的又一次證明了筆者的推測。
2008年全國卷15-17題原文:
M: Hello!
W: Hello, Mike! This is Jane.
M: Oh. Hello, Jane!
W: Listen, Mike! I’ve got a real problem.
M: What is it?
W: The car’s broken down.
M: Oh, not again.
W: Yeah. I checked the oil and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all.
M: You have to get rid of it, you know.
W:I know ,I know. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I…?
M: Use my car? Yes, of course.
W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you.
M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight.
W: OK! I’ll be around in about an hour. Thanks a lot!
M: It’s all right. See you then!
W: See you!
