英语四级听力备考技巧:把握条件句
四级题目中特别是Section A中的对话,有不少是通过条件句来表达建议,想法,结果和趋势等。因此,能正确理解和抓住说话者所要表达的真实意图至为重要。
条件句有两种,一是真实条件句,二是虚拟条件句。真实条件句表达的意思是直接而明显的,一般指有可能实现;虚拟条件句是间接而含蓄的。对后者应有足够的谨慎。下面两个例子可作为说明:
原文:
M: If I go to the store,will you make dinner for us tonight?
W: Bring back enough food.
Q: What will the woman do if the man shops?
选项:
A) The woman will cook.
B) He won't buy enough.
C) He'll get in a bad mood.
D) He will make dinner.
答案:A)。又如:
原文:
W: Did you see film last night?
M: I wouldn't have gone to see it if I'd known it was boring.
Q: Where was the man last night?
选项:
A) In a bar.
B) In a cinema.
C) At a lecture.
D) Unreasonable.
答案:B)。
条件句中以if引导居多,注意这种句式的表达特点。它们经常用省略的形式,如if possible,if any,if not,if so,if necessary,if needed等,听省略形式的条件句,主要应该抓住主句的基本内容,因为条件句不易听错,只要抓住了主句的基本内容,就能正确做题。
此外,表示条件的连词,除了if外,还有as long as,so long as,suppose,supposing,let's say等。
