  Part A:短對話(Short Conversation

  考試當天你將會碰到如下的答題提示:

  DirectionsIn Part A you will hear short conversations between two people. After each conversation you will hear a question about the conversation. The conversations and questions will not be repeated. After hear a question read the four possible answers in your test book and choose the best answer. Then on your answer sheet find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen.

  1.基本策略

  你所聽到的directions叫你先聽問題再讀選項然後決定選那個選項。對有些人來說這沒有問題,但大部分人發現先讀選項對做題很有用。這一技巧我們稱之為逆向搜索法。下面是逆向搜索法的具體步驟:

  打開磁帶聽Direction,在這一時間裡,考試中心不讓你看選項。

  Direction叫你turn the page時,快速看題目的四個選項。你可能只有12秒的時間,但儘量看那些在4個選項中重複出現的詞,諸如名字,地點等等。這將在你聽到這些詞的時候對你有所幫助。你甚至可能通過這些反復出現的名詞和動詞猜出對話的主題。

  當對話開始的時候,立即停止看題,集中精神聽題。

  當問題問完以後,再讀一邊四個選項,選出你的答案。如果你無法馬上做出答案,儘量排除一些選項,然後從剩下的選項中選一個。

  快速仔細的塗答題紙。馬上回到第2步,看下一題的四個選項。

  逆向搜索法的好處:

  你能得到關於對話內容的線索。

  你能運用你的閱讀能力和歸納能力來加強你的聽力能力。

  當你猜到一道題目的主題的時候,你會少一些緊張和焦慮,這將説明你關注你所需要聽到的資訊。

  2.考點

  在這一部分,你將首先聽到兩個人的對話,然後是一個問題,問題通常是關於第2個說話人的comment的。下麵是這一部分常考的考點。有時一道題中有不止一個的考點。詞彙純粹的單詞量測試,但通常不是難詞(大學四級或以下單詞)。比如題幹中聽到形容詞terrific,那麼包含terrific的同義詞excellent或者very good的選項就是正確答案。也就是說,不僅要認識關鍵字也要知道它常用的同義詞。不過,這種題大多比較容易。因為這些詞彙都很常見。

  19991月聽力題

  W Why are you leaving so early The movie doesn't start till seven.

  M I don't want to be at the traffic there. It's a nightmare on the expressway during rush hour.

  Q What does the man mean

  (A He wants to go early to avoid a traffic jam.

  (B He wants to leave the theater before the movie is over.

  (C He doesn't know the way to the theater.

  (D He doesn't usually get up at 700.

  答案是A.這裡整個對話都在講時間問題,關鍵字是traffic(交通)。其實,即使你不認識或者不十分確定它的意思,你也可以通過don't want toavoid之間的同義轉換選出正確的答案。

  19991月聽力題

  WIf George misses one more meeting we are going to have to find one new committee secretary.MWe'd better give him an ultimatum.

  Q What does the man suggest they do

  (A Remove George from the committee immediately.

  (B Warn George that his attendance problem is serious.

  (C Offer to help George during the meeting.D Telephone George to see if he's coming to the meeting.

  答案是B.

  如果你認識並聽懂ultimatum最後通牒的意思的話,你輕而易舉就能選出它的同義轉換warn sb about sth(警告)。而第一句同樣說明了George是個不太稱職的secretary,但卻用are going to將來時說明並非要remove George form the committee immediately.

  (2)習語和短語

  習語和短語,指的是慣用片語或者常見的口語化表達。它在託福聽力中經常出現,而且比較難。原因仍然是我們平時很少練習聽力。而且口語化的表達也使一貫重視語法的中國式英語教育暴露出明顯的缺點。但是,你卻可以通過我們後面給你總結的託福聽力詞句精選快速地掌握這些常見的口語化表達和慣用片語。經常出現的片語比如對話中說: Kathy's effort really paid off.那麼選項中出現的Kathy's hard work had a positive result就是正確答案。這裡考的是paid off這個短語的含義。

  19991月聽力題

  M Did you see the diamond ring Bill gave to Linda

  WI sure did. It must have cost him an arm and a leg.

  Q What does the woman imply about the ring.

  (A Linda didn't like it.

  (B Bill lost it.

  (C It was very expensive.

  (D It was very small.

  答案是C.cost a fortune的意思一樣,cost one an arm and a leg都是形容很貴。19991月聽力題

  MDid you watch that comedy special on TV last night I don't think I ever laughed so hard.

  WDon't even talk to me about it. The only night I really wanted to watch something and we had a power failure in my building.

  Q What does the woman mean

  (A She's upset that she missed the television program.

  (B She doesn't think the television program was funny.

  (C She doesn't like talking about television programs.

  (D She watched the television program at a friend's house.?答案是A.這裡,重要的是認識並聽懂power failure是停電的意思。

  (3)虛擬語氣

  比如,對話中出現了If I had known……I would have,答案應該是didn't do something.這個題型的變化很小,考來考去就是一點虛擬語氣。

  19991月聽力題

  W Hey Larry. Wanna meet a few of us for coffee in a little while

  MHmm. I would if I weren't so far behind in this reading I'm doing for history.

  Q What will the man probably do

  (A Continue to read.

  (B Meet the woman at the library.

  (C Make some coffee.

  (D Go out with some friends.

  雙重否定之下,只有A是正確答案。

  19991月聽力題

  WThe museum exhibit that our professor recommended just closed. Last day yesterday.

  M Oh. I was really looking forward to seeing it.

  Q What does the man mean

  (A He is pleased the exhibit has closed.

  (B He has already seen the exhibit.

  (C He is disappointed the exhibit has closed.

  (D He already knew the exhibit had closed.?答案是C.

  同樣,過去式的助動詞was揭示了這是個虛擬語氣。

  (4)順序問題

  所謂動詞順序,指的就是動作的前後關係或者過去,將來等時間段已經發生或者可能發生的動作。這裡,要注意諸如no sooner than hardly…… whenat firstin the morning等表示時間的短語,因為它們揭示了動作的前後關係。

  19991月聽力題

  M Can I get a ridesintosthe office with you tomorrow

  W Another day would be fine. But I got to be downtown for a meeting first thing in the morning.

  Q What does the woman imply

  (A She'll drop the man off on the way to work.

  (B The man can ride downtown with her.

  (C The man will have to leave earlier than usual.

  (D She can't give the man a ride.?答案是D.

  這裡,序數詞first thing和動作got to be downtown說明了另外動作發生的不可能性,即我不能帶你

  19991月聽力題

  W I hope you like the novel I lent you. I wasn't sure whether it was the kind of book you would be interested in.

  MYou know I had the same doubt at first. But once I started I simply couldn't put it down.

  Q What does the man mean

  (A He doubts the woman will like the novel.

  (B He hasn't started reading the novel yet.

  (C He enjoyed reading the novel.

  (D He'll lend the woman the novel after he has read it.?答案是C.

  這裡,過去完成時had the same doubt和過去式started,以及表示時間的詞(短語)at firstonce揭示了已經做過的動作,即閱讀過這本小說

  (5)比較

  對於比較問題,你聽對話時耳朵應該對諸如better……than等比較級敏感一點,當然還有than這個詞。

  19991月聽力題

  W My brother is coming this weekend and I thought three of us could go out to dinner Saturday night. Any suggestions

  M It's up to you. I don't know the restaurants around here that well. So you know a better place to go than me.

  Q What does the man mean

  (A He already has plans for Saturday night.

  (B The woman should decideswheresto cat Saturday.

  (C The woman should ask her brother for a suggestion.

  D He will make a reservation at the restaurant.?答案是B.

  這裡,第二個人最後用比較級結束了這個對話,可謂推卸可能出現的飯不好吃的責任。你比我清楚哪兒更好,其實就等於你自己找地方吧!。1

  19991月聽力題

  W Well if you are seriously considering buying a car I'm trying to get rid of mine. All it needs is some new paint.

  MThanks. But most used cars end up being more trouble than they are worth.

  Q What will the man probably do

  (A Buy a car from the woman.

  (B Help the woman paint her car.

  (C Buy a new car.

  (D Look for a less expensive car.?答案是C.

  這裡,第一個人說如果你考慮買車的話,我的可以賣給你。第二個人用了一個“thanks”禮貌地回絕了,並用比較級more trouble說明了不賣他的車的理由,當然第二個人希望買輛新車。否則就不好意思了。

  (6)語氣

  語氣題,在聽力的短對話中出現得最多,也比較難。比如如題目中A說: They don't know the news yet. B說:They don't?就這麼多。這時題目問what does B imply?答案是:He is surprised that they don't know the news.對付這類題目最好的辦法就是多練些題目,同時體會說話的語調,來判斷是肯定語氣還是否定語氣。

  19991月聽力題

  MHave heard the news The manager posted this month's work schedule.

  WShe did Where

  Q What does the woman ask

  (Aswheresthe manager is.

  (Bswheresshe will be working this month.

  (Cswheresshe can find the work schedule.

  (Dswheresthe man heard the news.?答案是C.

  第二個人的第二個問“where已經肯定了“she did posted this month's work schedule”。只是不清楚“where she posted this month's work schedule”,而不是選項D中的“where the man heard the news”

  (7)相似發音

  一些音近的詞,如題目中有remember一詞,答案中的干擾選項中有number member這兩個詞,聽起來有點像。如果聽的時候不是很仔細,就容易出錯。對付這類題目的方法是熟悉出題的思路,如你知道音近是託付出題的一個考點,那就在心裡有根弦,這樣陷阱倒反成了很明顯的標誌,然後知道這類題目通常的答案是用一個短語來解釋一個詞如上面講的這道題,答案選一個包含有。not forget.短語的選項,而那些含有音近詞的選項都是錯的。請看下麵一道例題:

  M That's an awfully heavy sweater for a day like today.

  W Well I'm going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of this morning. And you know what the air conditioning is like in there.

  Q What does the man imply

  (A No one will be able to see what he is wearing.

  (B It is cool in the lecture hall.

  (C He expects the weather to change later in the day.

  (D The weather is heavily polluted today.?答案是A.選項CD都出現了與sweater音近的詞weather.其中選項D更容易讓考生混淆,因為它裡面含有heavilytoday與對話中的第一句很像。

  (8)地點(場景)

  地點,考一些常見的動作的發生的地點,這個又叫場景題,主要是看對各個場景的熟練程度。

  W I need the receipt for the book insgroupsto exchange it.

  M All right. Here you are.

  Qswheresdoes the conversation most likely take place

  (A In a bookstore

  (B In an apartment

  (C In a classroom

  (D In a library?答案是A.

  這裡,第一個人的話有兩個詞,receipt(收據)和exchange說明了他們應該在商店裡。名詞book也證實了這個答案。
