【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
聽(tīng)女性會(huì)話者所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容。 二、聽(tīng)時(shí)抓“點(diǎn)” 有了充分的聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè),聽(tīng)時(shí)的主要任務(wù)就是抓住考點(diǎn),且掌握如下兩個(gè)原則: 1. 考點(diǎn)均勻分布,易出現(xiàn)在話輪轉(zhuǎn)換處 首先,長(zhǎng)對(duì)話后設(shè)的34個(gè)小題一般均勻地分布在對(duì)話的每個(gè)回合,極少出現(xiàn)某一個(gè)回合包含兩個(gè)考點(diǎn)的情況。這樣,我們?cè)谝粋€(gè)對(duì)話回合中找到一個(gè)考點(diǎn)后,剩余的部分就可不做詳聽(tīng),讓緊張的神經(jīng)稍做放松,有利于將精力集中于下面的考點(diǎn)。 其次,考點(diǎn)的位置多是話輪轉(zhuǎn)換的時(shí)候。具體的說(shuō),就是對(duì)話一方某段發(fā)言的開(kāi)頭和結(jié)尾部分,這也完全符合西方人的思維習(xí)慣,即在發(fā)言伊始多是開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山,而在發(fā)言結(jié)尾處又總括強(qiáng)調(diào)。 仍以2006年12月Conversation Two為例: M: Hi, Miss Rowling, how old were you when you started to write? And what was your first book? W: I wrote my first story when I was about six. It was about a small animal, a rabbit, I mean, and I’ve been writing ever since. (22題考點(diǎn)) M: Why did you choose to be an author? W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do this. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing. (23題考點(diǎn)) M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults? W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really imagine a target audience when I’m writing. The ideas e first, so it really depends on the ideas that grasp me next. (24題考點(diǎn)) M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books e from? W: I’ve no idea where the ideas came from. And I hope I’ll never find out. (25題考點(diǎn)) It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny wrinkle on the surface of my brain, which makes me think about the invisible train platform. 2. 重復(fù)率較高的詞或短語(yǔ)多成為考點(diǎn) 對(duì)話的主要內(nèi)容理所當(dāng)然會(huì)得到說(shuō)話人的強(qiáng)調(diào),而一個(gè)非常重要且明顯的強(qiáng)調(diào)方式就是重復(fù),故重復(fù)的詞語(yǔ)往往能夠揭示對(duì)話的主題。 如問(wèn):What is the news coverage mainly about? 而原文中多次出現(xiàn)rebel forces, conflict, war等與叛亂相關(guān)的詞語(yǔ),也可判斷本題答案為A) The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak. Try out 23. A) Marketing consultancy. B) Professional accountancy. C) Luxury hotel management. D) Business conference organization. 24. A) Having a good knowledge of its customs. B) Knowing some key people in tourism. C
