浅谈雅思听力中代词的使用方法

　　同理Question 23. What point is made about Australian bees?

　　A. Their honey varies in quality.

　　B. Their size stops them from pollinating some flowers.

　　C. They are sold to customers abroad.

　　选项中的their和they都是指Australian bees。原文中：Australia exports native Queen bees to a large number of countries because of this. 该句是正确选项C的对应点，但是考生可能由于对export和sold abroad的同义转换不敏感而忽略该信息。而B选项对应的句子when the European Honey Bee was first discovered out in the bush……and they (European Honey Bee) were also too big to pollinate many of our native flowers here in Australia中出现了和选项中一样的单词，干扰性比较强，但主体是European Honey Bee, 和原文不符。

　　从以上例子看来，审题时理解到代词的指代意义是非常重要的，当然更重要的是在听题的时候也能够理解代词的指代。

　　例3：剑4 Test 2 Section 2

　　Question 12. Stress may be caused by

　　Question 13. International students may find stress difficult to handle because

　　这两道连续的选择题都是和stress相关的，因此在第一题的内容讲完后，原文中说道：you have to cope with all this without your usual social network. 该句话和Question 13的题干同义转换：international students转换为you, stress转换为this, handle转换为cope with, 由于定位名词stress转换成了this不容易被发现，所以考生很容易在定位上出现问题。

　　例4：剑5 Test 4 Section 4 Question 37-40, 这是一道典型的以代词来判断答案的题目，如果在听的时候注意不到代词的指向，会觉得题目讲得特别快，很难选择。如：

　　Question 38. advising on bibliography presentation _________

　　原文：Your tutors will tell you at the outset how to set out the chapters they (tutors) require but you will need to ask them (tutors) how they (tutors) would like you to organize the bibliography. 在该句中考生在听的时候需要理解到they和them指的就是前面提到的tutor才能做出正确选择，而由于语速问题，审题不全面或者整体节奏没有跟上等等原因，很多考生都非常容易在这里出错。

　　以上就是雅思听力代词使用的相关介绍。另外，还要提醒考生们关注的是，考生在听每一篇文章，不论是对话还是独白时，都可以在开头介绍处关注一下对话的双方或者说话者和听话者分别是谁，这对理解或者猜题都有好处。上文例4中的international students为说话人口中的you就能体现出这一点。
