托福听力一遍听懂复杂长难句技巧指点
和谐英语网为同学们整理了托福听力一遍听懂复杂长难句技巧指点,供考生参考学习。
1)反问句
Isn’t that just for when you need help with writing/, like an essay or research paper? (TPO24-C2)
同学们一听就会知道是个问句,以及会听到writing、research paper这些词,但会感觉开头有点快,这一点主要因为发音快导致不易辨认清楚。本句其实是Isn’t just for sth.这种反问句句式,在听的方面主要是区分isn’t that和is that的发音;在理解上就要注意反问句所表达的偏强调的意思。
2)强调句
But actually, it was a physicist/ who came up with a method that was a breakthrough. (TPO15-L3)
这句话较简单,主要是同学们容易听懂了仍然不清楚这是强调句型it was sb. who…,而这个句型基本上是初中语法知识,但你看,作为用得少的典范,就容易反应不出,即使它再简单。
3)插入语
So the original hypothesis/ that the stones found with sauropods were gastroliths/, even though it hasn’t been supported/, has helped us to make new hypothesis/, which may eventually lead to the answer. (TPO27-L3)
这句话比刚才的难度要大,首先要判断出that引出同位语,指hypothesis,所以从the original hypothesis到gastroliths是主语,根据我们上一期文章提到的抓“核心主谓宾”的方法,要有意识抓谓语动词。接着听到even though,这个时候就要召唤语法预判能力了,因为even though固定搭配“虽然…但是…/即使…也…”,所以even though引导的都是让步从句,我们仍然要抓主句,也就继续等待刚才“the original hypothesis…gastroliths”主语部分之后的谓语动词出现,此后我们听到has helped…确定谓语动词。到此为止,主干部分已经清楚So the original hypothesis…has helped us to make new hypothesis。最后which引导定语从句修饰new hypothesis,较简单。
另外本句要注意听出hasn’t been supported, has helped的否定和肯定,否则逻辑仍会混乱。本句语法成分较多:同位语,插入语,定语从句,但相对最难的是插入语。
4)被动句
It was presented in the works of well-known Greek philosophers/ as early as the fourth century B.C.E. (TPO21-L1)
本句如果第一遍没听懂,则要在精听中的第二遍听主干,也就是核心主谓宾:It was presented…再在第三遍抓里面的细节,也就是其他介词引导的部分;其中注意连读works of,as early as;本句为大家也用得相对较少的被动句句式。
5)倒装句
Only after the site at Gonur-depe was excavated/ were archaeologists able to identify it/ as coming from Gonur-depe. (TPO28-L4)
本句首先听听前半部分有明显的停顿were,那么迅速判断only after…were是明显的倒装句。事实上本句很多同学看都不一定看得懂,这就考查语法功底的扎实程度了。
