雅思聽(tīng)力單選題技巧
選擇題是雅思聽(tīng)力眾多題型中最常規(guī)的,也應(yīng)該是中國(guó)考生最熟悉的題型。雅思聽(tīng)力題中,選擇題有三個(gè)選項(xiàng),一般出現(xiàn)在section2或section4。然而,選擇題的正確率要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于靈活多變的填空題和地圖題。究其原因,還是因?yàn)闇?zhǔn)備工作沒(méi)有做足,以及關(guān)鍵信號(hào)詞沒(méi)有識(shí)別出來(lái)。下面的兩點(diǎn)技巧能夠非常有效地幫助考生攻克這一失分題型。
雅思聽(tīng)力單選題高分技巧一:Prediction
預(yù)測(cè)是十分重要的一環(huán)??忌梢栽诳脊僭试S打開(kāi)試題冊(cè)后,迅速瀏覽整套題的題型結(jié)構(gòu)。建議考生將處在section中間位置的選擇題提前讀一下,因?yàn)槲覀冎?,位于一個(gè)section開(kāi)始位置的題目是有時(shí)間提前讀題的。如果沒(méi)有提前讀題進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè),正確率一定會(huì)大打折扣。那么怎樣進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)呢?
最有效的方法就是劃出關(guān)鍵詞。關(guān)鍵詞有兩種,一種叫做”高調(diào)詞”,如比較顯眼的專有名詞,人名,數(shù)字甚至是引號(hào)。以下是幾個(gè)例子:

22. The ‘Study for Success’ seminar lasts for____.
分析:題干中,課程名稱既用了大寫又加了引號(hào),顯而易見(jiàn)是所謂的”高調(diào)詞”,所以考生可以毫不猶豫地等待音頻中的原詞重現(xiàn)。 ☆ 劍橋真題五 test 2:
14. What does Dan say about the town of Rivas?
分析:題干中,Rivas是個(gè)明顯的專有名詞,應(yīng)該是一個(gè)地名??荚囍薪ㄗh考生將這個(gè)詞默讀一下,熟悉其發(fā)音,便于聽(tīng)時(shí)定位到這個(gè)詞。 ☆ 劍橋真題五 test 2:
15. What problem did the charity face in August 2000?
分析:這是一道以數(shù)字和月份為關(guān)鍵詞的題目。
另外一種叫做”低調(diào)詞”,即常見(jiàn)的實(shí)詞名詞,形容詞,動(dòng)詞等。相比而言,后者被同義置換的概率要高?!?劍橋真題四 test 3:
23. In the seminar the work on writing aims to improve
A. confidence
B. speed
C. clarity
分析:這道題目中錄音文本提到一句: … techniques to write clearly. 在此,clearly明顯地為clarity的paraphrase, 這是副詞與名詞間替換的典例。
雅思聽(tīng)力單選題的高分技巧二:留心強(qiáng)轉(zhuǎn)折信號(hào)詞
所謂強(qiáng)轉(zhuǎn)折信號(hào)詞,不外乎but, however, yet. 只要是出現(xiàn)這類轉(zhuǎn)折詞,尤其是but后面的內(nèi)容一定是考點(diǎn)。這也是幫助考生突破階段性瓶頸至關(guān)重要的一點(diǎn)。而許多考生在備考的過(guò)程中并未重視這一考點(diǎn),或者說(shuō)在聽(tīng)的過(guò)程中沒(méi)能夠抓住這一考點(diǎn),原因是什么呢?
造成后者的原因其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單,就是所謂的“強(qiáng)讀”與“弱讀”。以but為例,正常發(fā)音是:[bʌt],但考試中音頻經(jīng)常為[bət], 甚至[bə], 而且速度非??欤瑢?dǎo)致眾多考生沒(méi)法識(shí)別出來(lái)。一定記住一點(diǎn):雅思聽(tīng)力選擇題的套路往往是把A,B,C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別闡述一下,再轉(zhuǎn)折,接考點(diǎn)。所以強(qiáng)轉(zhuǎn)折一定要加以注意?!?劍橋真題五 test4
25. What does Karin think the company will do?
A. look for private investors
B. accept a takeover offer
C. issue some new shares
分析:
TRANSCRIPT:
Obviously they have the choice of accepting the very favourable terms that another company… have given them to buy them out. Or they could decide on a bolder move and offer some new shares if they wanted. But I think they are more cautious than that and expect that they will start trying to find individuals who’d be prepared to back them with some of the capital they need.
在這里,B和C的同義置換均有所出現(xiàn)。buy out即買斷,對(duì)應(yīng)B項(xiàng)的takeover; offer some new shares對(duì)應(yīng)C項(xiàng)。但是下文又都予于否定,重點(diǎn)就在于but之后的內(nèi)容。所以建議考生在聽(tīng)力過(guò)程中積極識(shí)別強(qiáng)轉(zhuǎn)折信號(hào)詞。正確答案選A。 ☆ 劍橋真題五 test4
26. How does the tutor suggest the company can recover?
A. by appointing a new managing director
B. by changing the way it is organized
C. by closing some of its retail outlets
分析:
TRANSCRIPT:
Sometimes there is a simple fix such as changing the guy at the top. If they truly are cautious, then I suspect they will seek to shut down some of their shops. But a more ambitious approach, and one which I think would have more chance of success, would be to alter how they’re running things-the management layers and processes.
顯而易見(jiàn),聽(tīng)力文稿中三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有所提到,changing the guy at the top對(duì)應(yīng)A項(xiàng),即換掉頭兒;shut down some of their shops即關(guān)掉部分零售店,對(duì)應(yīng)C項(xiàng),但but之后的內(nèi)容才是我們應(yīng)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的對(duì)象。另外注意選擇題中paraphrase非?;钴S,所以三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有所替換,同時(shí)but后有較長(zhǎng)的插入語(yǔ)成分,注意辨析,正確答案選B。
以上就是對(duì)雅思聽(tīng)力單選題的兩點(diǎn)建議,細(xì)細(xì)來(lái)看知識(shí)點(diǎn)并不少,不管是單選還是多選,都適應(yīng)這一原則。小編希望考生們?cè)诼?tīng)力考試的過(guò)程中緊扣這兩個(gè)要點(diǎn),定能攻克下選擇題這一難關(guān)。
