2017託福聽力考試雙選題解題技巧

託福 閱讀(8.61K)

導語:雙選題在託福聽力中並不是一種題型,什麼考點都能出,常常出現於主旨題,句子功能題,態度題,細節題中。初聽文章時仍按照每種題型下的重點來把握資訊和解題。下面由YJBYS小編告訴大家託福聽力考試雙選題的解題技巧,歡迎參考!

2017託福聽力考試雙選題解題技巧

雙選以細節題中最多,主要考查:

• 特徵 (features, characteristics)

• 原因(reasons, factors, causes)

如何鎖定雙選題的資訊點?

雙選多選答案的分佈:可能集中於一句話or一段話中,也可能貫穿分佈於整篇文章中。

雙選經常帶有明顯的並列提示詞,提示詞hin重要,幫助鎖定雙(多)選資訊。有時提示詞不明顯,需要參考具體題型解法,參考如but類的其他重點提示詞。

雙選題如何計分?

需要選對兩個選項,才能得分。

雙選題的正確率高嗎?

• 完美錯過正確答案的很少,

• 最多的情況是選錯1個。

那雙選題如何選對2個答案呢?

分為初階抓並列提示詞,進階抓對比形容詞,高階練就排除選項的火眼金睛。

  一、初階:

從並列提示詞入手,抓點得分。哪些屬於並列提示詞呢?並列提示詞對於文章和段落結構起到很好的承託作用。我們先來欣賞一段散文,一起找一找裡面的並列提示詞。

讀書樂

人們常把求知勤學叫作“寒窗苦讀”,而我大不以為然。讀書之樂,不一而足;苦誠有之,樂亦無窮也。我雖年方十六,卻也已讀了十多年的書,自謂讀書有三樂”。

·一曰釋疑之樂。人是萬物之靈,是已知萬物中唯一有思想的生靈。既然有思想,就不免對紛繁複雜的大千世界生出許多疑問來。然而一個人的思想是有限的,不可能解決所以的疑問,有疑而不解,豈不令人遺憾?“丈夫當日知其所亡”,這就是必須藉助於讀書了。讀一本書,就像有幾十個,幾百個幾千個人在幫你開啟心中的疑惑。有時一個令你百思不得其解的問題卻通過讀一本書而被輕而易舉地解決了,於是鬱結在心頭的疑問煙消雲散。

·二曰啟思之樂。“書籍是人類智慧的鑰匙”,如果把人的創造力比作一座蓄水池的話,那麼書就是洩水的閘門了。歷史上有很多創造發明正是受了書的啟發,例如當年青黴素的發現者弗萊明,正當他在苦苦尋找一種新型抗生素時,他偶然讀到了幾十年前的一本關於抗生素的書,裡面提到了一種能消滅細菌的黴菌,不久以後,青黴素問世了。當然對於我們大多數的人來說,讀書或許還談不上什麼發明創造,但仍極具啟迪作用。比如讀《世界之謎》,書中的一連串的問號把你帶到了一個無比美妙的未知世界,由此你的智慧得到了啟迪和發展,這不是讀書的妙處嗎?

·三曰神遊之樂。這世界的確是太闊大了。大至宇宙,小至原子。遠的不用說,就連我們所生活的世界各地的佳境名勝,在人短暫一生中游歷殆盡也是不可能的。這時,書又成了一種最理想的交通工具,上天入地極大至微,只要是人類思想所及的地方,他便能帶你暢遊一番。佳境在目,歌聲若聞,山水皆伸手可及,這又是讀書一樂。

當然,讀書之樂不止這三種,又如正己之樂,知理之樂,可謂不可勝數也。誠然,有樂也必有苦,然苦能生樂,又何苦之有?

都找到了嗎?這篇文章中的並列提示詞就是起始段的“三樂”,以及二三四段的“一曰釋疑之樂,二曰啟思之樂,三曰神遊之樂。”如果託福聽力題目這麼容易的話,我們就要偷著樂了。實際考試考點會稍作設計,沒有這麼容易判斷,BUT,一般在要出雙選題的地方,也會像這篇文章一樣,有比較明顯的總領句,如there be結構:There are several reasons;或省略there be:Two changes took place.然後下面再分述2-3個理由/變化。我們需要抓住的正是there be後面的“一曰,二曰,三曰”。可託福聽力中可不一定有“一二三”,那我們就來看一下There be後列舉的幾種正常與非正常開啟方式。

1)“First”列舉後必跟第二點並列

正常開啟:Second

非正常開啟:now, OK, Next, And, also, the important aspect

最常見的分述方式就是列舉了,說話人為了使自己的語言也有邏輯性,往往會在總領句後用first來表述第一點理由,我們首先抓住這一點。比如31-1中解釋教授講課順序的理由時:“Now, there are some very good reasons to approach the material in this way. First, well, we don't have very much ancient Greek music studied. Only about 45 pieces survived e are mostly records of poems and songs.” 隨著敘述的推進,說話人可能忘記用計數表示列舉,而改用其他代表說話邏輯的詞來引出第二點理由“What we do know about - and this really is the most important reason I am approaching today's lecture the way I am - is the Greek philosophy about music and its continuing influence on western attitudes toward music. ” 雖然從結構上來說好像並不對稱,但事實上應該被我們採用為答案。

鎖定這兩處並列提示詞,我們看到題目時,就可以鎖定答案了:

What two reasons does the professor give for approaching the lecture material as he does? 【Click on 2 answers】

A. we have a limited idea of what ancient Greek music sounded like

B. the Greek philosophy of music influenced western thought

C. Greek music shared many characteristics with other types of ancient music

D. Greek melodies were admired by musicians from other countries

2)“One is” 後面必出現第二點並列

正常開啟:the other is

非正常開啟:夾雜混淆視聽的其他並列詞,而隱藏考點並列詞

有同學提問說:既然有無用的並列詞,那筆記應該怎麼記呢?

• 答:在看到題目之前,凡並列詞都需要記錄,格外注重自問自答/師生問答。

比如:22-3中的一題

According to theprofessor, what are the two main goals of Pleistocene rewinding? 【 Click on 2 answers】

A. To restore some evolutionary processes that ended during the Pleistocene epoch

B. To help prevent the extinction of certain species of megafauna

C. To increase populations of native animal species in the western United States

D. To create a living laboratory where animal interactions can be observed

就是採取正常引入方式:“Now, the advocates of Pleistocene rewilding cite two main goals. One is to help prevent the extinction of some endangered megafauna by providing new refuges, new habitats for them. The other is to restore some of the evolutionary and ecological potential that has been lost in North America.”

而32-4中的這題就“不太正常”:

According to the professor, what interior features of the house Irwin designed were especially beneficial? [Choose two answers]

A. Circular rooms with windows in the ceiling

B. Floors that were easy to clean

C. A large, spacious common area

D. A single-fireplace system that heated the entire house

其中有提示詞提領的地方比較好判斷“Yeah. The rooms inside the house were also hexagonal, six-sided. Hen. So one important thing was that the rooms were arranged around a chimney in the center of the house, which could provide heat for the whole house through flues, uh, small air passageways into each room, as opposed to having a fireplace in every room, which would require more cleaning and make the air inside the house dirtier.“

而另一處答案點則隱藏在後面的一處師生問答處

“Professor:OK. Think about cleaning. What part of a room is usually the hardest to clean? sweep with a broom.

Student:Oh! The corners. Because in square or rectangular rooms, the corners are at 90 degree angles. It’s hard to reach all the dust that gathers in the corners. But if Irwin's rooms were closer to a circle than a square, it would be easier to reach all the dust and dirt with a broom. Right?

Professor:Exactly.”

  二、進階:對比型雙選

解題關鍵:對比形容詞

在聽到有對比形容詞的時候,如Traditional- unconventional,如Large-small ,往往代表兩種性質相反的事物A,B,就會出現考察這兩種事物A,B特性的`雙選題。如27-3中的一題,Compared to small animals, what disadvantages do large animals typically have? Click on 2 answers

A. large animals require more food

B. large animals have fewer offspring

C. large animals use relatively more energy in digesting their food

D. large animals have greater difficulty staying warm

題幹中就出現“small animal”和“large animal”的明顯對比,而原文中則通過“fewer”“more”的數量對比來引出考點:“Biologically speaking, sauropods shouldn’t have been successful. Large animals like elephants, say, they require much more food and energy and have fewer offspring than smaller animals.”

  三、高階:無明顯提示詞,練就排除易混選項的火眼金睛

這種情況下的雙選即無明顯提示詞,選項答案點在原文中分佈也相對分散,給我們的判斷造成了很大的困難。這時,除了在聽文章時要通過我們在細節題中所提到的其他重點提示詞來提煉資訊,更需要在解題時通過選項中的“蛛絲馬跡”,來幫助我們排出正確選項,提高答題的正確率。

比如32-C1中的這題:

What does the woman suggest the man should do to have the best chance of selling his book to the bookstore? [Choose two answers]

A. Ask his professor if the same book will be used next semester

B. Sell the book back as soon as the buyback period begins

C. Make sure the book is in good condition

D. Bring the original sales receipt with the book

我們暫且不看原文,而從題乾和選項所呈現的事實中來判斷。這篇提問男生如何才能有“best chance”向書店賣出他的書(此處是二手書),best chance就限定我們一定要選出一個“機會最大”的選項,也就意味著要有比較的可能性,才有最高階。逐個看選項:A.問教授是否下學期還會用同樣的書。做題時可以自問:如果下學期還用一樣的書,男生的機率就最大了嗎?相比較其他同學賣二手書的同學,他有何優勢呢?並沒有。再看B.趁回購期一開始就來賣。這裡就具備了比較的條件,時間“先”“後”,比別人早來,可以更快賣出書。C呢,書儲存得很完好。此處的比較是書的狀態“好”“壞”的對比,有對比,就有突出的可能。比別人書的狀態好,就能更快賣出。所以C也說得通。D.附上書的發票。這個可以是buyback的一個必須條件,但體現不出差別,因為別的同學也可以把發票帶來。
