三、听力技巧:
(1)研读选项关键词,判断对话主题
•预测对话内容,建立心理预期
•为对话中出现的一些生词、专有名词做准备
关键词:
•中心名词、主要动词、形容词、副词
•不同选项都包含的词以及语义相同的词
(2)分析选项语法结构,判断提问方式
•选择题出题的基本原则是,每个备选项都可以完整地回答对应的题目的问题。
•选项的句法结构。
是动词、名词(数词)、形容词选项,还是介词选项?是because、that等引导的从句选项?是独立的句子选项?是背景辨认题、事实细节题、原因推理题、观点态度题、行动计划题等等?
•选项针对的对象:男的、女的。
(3)第一句话中的核心词揭示答案
•判断话题、场景
•首句很重要(寒暄过后)
•该词的重现、该词的同义替换、该词能得出的自然结论
例题:
[A] At a fair.
[B] At a cafeteria.
[C] In a computer lab.
[D] In a shopping mall.
W: I see. Well, there’s plenty to look at again this year. I’m sure you’d have to walk miles to see each stand.
M: That’s true.
W: Er…, would you like a coffee? Come and sit down for a minute. No obligation.
M: Well, that’s very kind of you. But…
W: No, please, is this the first year you’ve been to the fair, Mr. …?
Q: Where did the conversation take place?
(4)语义强调处常设考点
说话人表示意外、强调等强烈语气的地方,常常会出题
例题:
[A] Handling customer complaints.
[B] Recruiting and training new staff.
[C] Dispatching ordered goods on time.
[D] Developing computer programs.
M: What was the most difficult part of your job?
W: Probably handling angry customers. We didn't have them very often, but when we did, I needed to make sure they were well taken care of. After all, the customer is always right.
Q: What does the woman say was the most difficult part of her job?
(5)正确答案应该与对话主题一致
•如果面对可能充当答案的两个选项无法做出判断,可以根据对话的主题进行选择,选择与对话主题一致的选项。
