托福听力里的“时间”可以怎么出题?


辛达托福代报考位提醒:到2021年4月7日官网没有释放考位,在此提醒广大考生抓紧时间报名,如果暂时没有考位的话可以提交给我们代报,广大考生注意考试时间.


 众所周知,托福听力不考详细的时刻数字,但是有一种时刻呈现方法却是高频的命题点:事物发展在两个不同时刻点的差异比照。

  辛达托福代报认为我们能够先测验回答以下例题:

  猪肉的价格平民,一直是许多市民购买的肉类选择,但是在八月份受非洲猪瘟病毒影响之后,同等金额能买到的猪肉数量变得更少了。

  问:原文暗示着关于猪肉的什么信息?

  A. 非洲猪瘟对猪肉的影响无法控制

  B. 八月份后猪肉价格比之前更贵

  C. 猪肉的替代品价格随之上升

  D. 市民将无法购买猪肉

  答案:B

  和上述例子相同,在听力的讲座里,如果原文主题的打开里呈现前后时刻比照时,标题也经常会考察我们依据原文已知内容能够揣度出的信息,因而在听的过程中笔记留意做符号并记好比照内容:

  原文描绘目标的某个特征

  呈现另外一个时刻点的比照

  【信号词:earlier/before/today/prior to 等】

  笔记符号:v.s

  前后时刻目标特征的差异

  真题演练:

  例题:

  (T32L4Q6)What does the professor imply about Irwin’s nineteenth-century biographers?

  A. They were probably envious of her success.

  B. They did not sufficiently value function in residential architecture.

  C. They did not know much about architects from the southern United States.

  D. They understood the difficulties faced by women architects.

  笔记:19c biogra’. ↓ingenuity v.s. today: praise function 1st女 receive paten

  音频分析:

  原文呈现2个时刻点的列传家对建筑师欧文的情绪描绘比照:19世纪的列传家弱化了她的规划天赋,而现在的same biographers反而会称赞她规划的功能性,后面更是提到了欧文作为美国第一个获得建筑规划专利的女人。由此比照可得出过去的列传家没有给欧文deserved credit,因而答案对应B选项。

  What can be inferred about...?

  What does the professor imply about...?

  以上两个标题方法便是典型的揣度题问法,同时也是大部分同学觉得特别无从下手的题型,关于此类题型的考察方法,我们能够从官方OG以及TPO练习题里总结出它的一些特点:

  Making Inferences Questions

  The final type of connecting information question is Making Inferences questions. In this kind of question, you usually have to reach a conclusion based on facts presented in the listening passage.

  1. 整合相关信息

  (例如不同时刻点上的相关比照、两个同类目标的比照、因果相关等)

  2. 根据原文

  虽然是隐含的信息,但是绝大部分的揣度题里,原文与正确答案选项都仅是同义替换的联系。因而,在解题过程中,必定要留意防止过度揣度或加入原文未提的主观设想。

  明白标题特点后,小牛试刀以下两道练习题看看你能不能做对:

  笔记要点:

  MT, style: veris, real v.s. earlier: emulate UK, x realism(T50L3) What does the professor imply about literature in the United States prior to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

  A. It did not yet have a distinct American style.

  B. Very few books were published.

  C. Romanticism and realism had started to combine.

  D. British authors were using realism more than American authors were.

  解析:这篇叙述美国文学的讲座里,教授讲到Mark Twain的风格是realistic,而前期的美国作家(earlier writers in the US)会模仿英国作家,以损害realism为代价,比照可揣度出在Mark Twain时期以前的美国文学作家在文体上没有自己的风格,对应A选项。

  例题 2:

  (T24L2)What does the professor imply about the rivalry between classical ballet and modern dance?

  1. Audiences have generally been unaware of it.

  2. Critics tend to exaggerate Duncan's role in it

  3. It is not as strong now as it was in Duncan's time.

  4. It increased as modern dance became more popular than classical ballet

  答案:C

  以上便是辛达托福代报给同学们总结的时刻比照考点以及揣度题的特征,期望对我们解题有必定帮助!
