雅思考试听力瓶颈之迷失在烟雾中
·是否常常不知试题的发展进程,连下笔的机会也没有?
·是否经常漫无目的,上下求索,无法确定答案?
·是否有过一题遗漏,大脑空白,而后满题皆漏?
·是否知晓雅思听力的出题特征及考察点?
如果对于最后一问的答案是“NO”,则前三问的答案很有可能全部都是“YES”!雅思听力考试的瞬间性和暂时性导致很多学生感觉做题过程很“糊涂”,一个个英文单词就像一个个烟雾弹一样,让人听得不知所以然。
例1:
Customers who recommend PS Camping to friends will receive … …
A. a free gift
B. an upgrade to a luxury tent
C. a discount
(选自Cambridge 7 Test1 Section 2 Question 16)
原文:
There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer, you’ll be kept informed of special offers, and your friends can benefit from ten per cent off their holiday, or book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, we’ll send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.
答案:
原文中ten per cent off their holiday和book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one都是不同程度的干扰,正确答案是a thank-you present所对应的C。
难点:
录音中听到的内容与若干错误选项中的内容貌合神离,通常仅仅是局部文字一致,但非正确答案所在。
例2:
Which THREE things can the general public do to help the charity Pedal Power?
A. organize a bicycle collection
B. repair the donated bikes
C. donate their unwanted tools
D. do voluntary work in its office
E. hold an event to raise money
F. identify areas that need bikes
G. write to the government
(选自Cambridge 5 Test 2 Section 2 Question 18-20)
原文:
Also, you could help by contacting the voluntary staff at our offices. They’ll be able to suggest activities you could organize to bring in funds for us.
答案:
这是一道多选题,E选项虽然没有出现与原文答案出现处相同的文字,但意思完全对应,选项中的event和money分别就是原文里的activities和funds,因此是正确选项之一。
难点:
录音中听到的内容与正确选项中的内容貌离神合,往往与选项中出现的文字不完全一致,但却是正确答案所在。
于是乎,考生必须在做题的过程中有的放矢,知道自己需要什么,学会把握重点。雅思考试横扫大陆已二十载,面对空洞的认知和沉闷的练习,“题型特征”的把握能帮助考生在茫茫题海中把握规律,有迹可循。
