托福lecture怎么听-托福听力lecture常见技巧

托福lecture怎么听-托福听力lecture常见技巧

托福lecture怎么听-托福听力lecture常见技巧1.听好开头,抓到主题词,跟随教授思路,积极猜测要听好开头,我们就要熟悉教授开篇的说话套路,有这么几种:开门见山抛出话题,回忆上节课内容,或者引出的,比如用时代背景引出,用例子引出,用同学的提问引出的。

(1) 直接展开l today we are going to be talking about…l I’d like to begin my lecture by introducing…l let’s focus on…l let’s now take a look at…(2) 问答式展开l how are companies typically structured?l Do you remember what they are?l How can you understand it?l Why does human being consider it important?有时教授就是没说明今天要讲的内容,那就边听边确定主旨。

例如TPO20-6的生物学场景lecture,在文章的开头教授先提到the state of Maine,又提到那里的天气:snow,最后才说到adaptation(文章的主旨)。

其实只要我们清楚生物学场景的主要考点:动物、植物、生物科技相关话题。

就不难推断出文章真正的主旨,2. 剖析正文的常用结构,熟悉考点位置正文有不同的展开形式。

有教授的独角戏,有教授的大部分独白加上几处师生互动,也有通篇都是互动的讨论性讲座,只不过较少。

所以我建议把正文可以分出互动和独白的两个部分,来剖析结构。

1)互动部分:第一种结构是教授提问,主动权在教授手里,课堂还是沿着教授思路往后推动;第二种结构中同学的提问打断了教授的思路,教授要去回答同学的问题,改变了原有的思路,教授会沿着同学的提问内容展开。

2)独白部分,也就是教授一个人在讲述要点,讲座中往往有好几处独白,这些独白有一定的结构特征。

So realistically he probably won't get to it until Monday afternoon. Perhaps Tuesday.Student: Really, we have to go without a stove for a whole weekend, possibly more?Supervisor: Yes, as you pointed out, this is not a dire emergency, so it's going to be handled under the normal maintenance schedule, which is Monday through Friday.

I mean, the only neighbors I really know, well enough to ask the guys next door, if you saw the state of that kitchen, you'd understand. I'm not sure I could find the stove under all the mess.Supervisor: I see. Well, we could try to set you up in one of our conference rooms in the Johnson building.Student: Really? I thought that student groups couldn't book the rooms in Johnson.Supervisor: Well, normally they can't. However, given your situation, I can try to put in a word with some people and see if we can make an exception here. There is also a full kitchen in the Johnson building, so you'd be covered there.Student: Okay. Yes. That definitely would work. Um. Do you have any idea when you know if you can make this happen or not? Because I'll need to let people know.Supervisor: Yeah, I understand people need to know what's going on. Um. Let me get back to you in an hour or so on this. Can you leave me your phone number?Student: Sure. Thanks.题目1.Why does the woman go to see the facilities supervisor?A.

托福听力对话和讲座出题点对应各题型细节精讲出题点1:开头—对应全文主旨题这一考点基本上大家都知道,主旨题就是第一题,差不多只有三种问法:1. Whats the main purpose of the lecture?2. What does the conversation/lecturemainly about?3. Why does the student go to see theprofessor?主旨题对应的句子在听力内容的开头部分,大约2-3句话。

在conversation中,一般情况下professor会先跟学生闲聊,比如问一下最近参加的某某的活动怎么样,上次考试的感觉如何等等,这些都是与主旨无关的,直到学生自己讲到I come to seeyou because I have a problem/question that...这之类的话,这时候就要注意听,拿笔开始记了,学生所讲到的就是全文的主旨。

在lecture中,professor一般会先回顾上节课所学的内容,会讲一大段,这些都是无用信息,完全不用听,一般是Last class we talked about/discussed/focused on...这个部分教授要么是讲得很快,要么是专业术语特别多。

重点在后面,当讲到today we will continue/shift to/focus on..., 这里就要开始记录了,professor开始讲这节课要学的内容了。

出题点2:结尾—对应倒数第2、第3题ETS非常喜欢在结尾出题,就是进度条快走到头的时候,这时候千万别松懈。

美国人一贯总分总逻辑结构,开头结尾都是非常重要的。

托福听力讲座中的问答环节在托福考试听力部分,讲座篇幅较长,内容由于其学科性强也更复杂,因此很多学生认为讲座中很难抓住材料的重点。

但如果细究听力讲座类材料中的特点,其实有很多地方是具有暗示性的,讲座中的问答部分就是其中重要的一类。

一、以问题引导文章的主体走向。

和阅读材料相比,对于考生来说听力材料的一大难点就是难以对材料中的整体框架、语义走向进行宏观地把握。

在阅读材料中,我们单从文章的分段中便可大致划分出观点与观点之间的界限,但是在听力文章中,我们却无法做到如此“一目了然”,只能通过对整体信息的理解和一些提示性语句来自行分段、分类,听力中出现的提问部分就往往充当着“段落、语义划分提示句”的角色。

1.1独白型讲座中的自问自答在独白型的讲座中,教授对授课的内容、顺序以及主次占着绝对的引导权,而教授经常会通过提问(虽然是自问自答这种方法来引起学生的注意,推动内容的进行。

如TPO13中关于城市规划的讲座,这段听力材料中教授介绍了步行街获得成功的重要因素(Key considerations in creating a pedestrian mall,文章分步讲述了步行街兴起的原因(社会经济背景,步行街的特点(定义,步行街成功的两大因素(location and design,而这几大要点之间就是由一个个自问自答式的问题串联起来的。

文章结构如下:兴起的原因(社会经济背景+ So what did city planners decide to do about it? (引出步行街+ Now, what is a pedestrian mall?(步行街的定义+ So what does city planner learns about making thesemalls succeed? (步行街成功的两大因素+ OK, so that's location, but what about design? (引出“design”这一重要因素+ But now what if one ingredient to this planning recipe is missing? (引出反例证明观点由此不难看出,这些问句对于掌握全文的走向有重要指导意义。

1.2 互动型讲座中的问答环节在一部分的托福听力讲座中,教授和学生之间经常会有积极的互动交流,而在这一类文章中,教授和学生双方的问题就共同影响(“暗示”了部分或全文的脉络,这些问句在很大程度上就在提醒考生接下来会听到什么内容。

如TPO11中介绍了美国最流行的民居建筑风格,以及设计风格所遵循的原则:form should follow function 。

在这篇听力材料中,文章的各个语义部分也是通过一个个问题来衔接的。

文章结构如下:Does anyone know what the single most popular style for a house in theUnited Statesis today? (引入主题+ Now why did the Cape Cod style house become so popular in the northeast?(引入form should follow function的设计理念+ Who knows what the climate like on Cape Cod?(引入气候因素对设计的影响+ Now what can you tell me about the chimney, about its location.(进一步探讨这一设计理念的现实体现二、问答中的细节、功能和态度考点细节题、功能题和态度题是托福听力考试中常见的题型,在听力考试中所占比重很大,而这几类题型的出题点也常常出现在听力材料的问答部分。

2.1 问答中的细节题“如何抓细节”,“什么是重要细节”是让很多考生头疼的问题,除了我们经常提到的例子考点、定义考点和强调考点外,在听的同时,我们还可以以问题为导向抓细节。

通过分析听力材料,我们可以得出,不论是教授还是学生的提问大都是针对某一具体观点、内容而问的,因此这一问一答中就是一个完整的细节点。

而且这些细节点往往都是非常重要的,因为如果是次要信息,教授或学生大可对此一概不提或一句带过,无需展开详述。

值得注意的是,在师生互动式的问答中,不但要根据问题记录对方的回答,还要注意回答之后提问者(多为教授对此的态度,如果是否定态度,那么考生尽可在刚才做的笔记后打叉做标记(一般这个错误的答案会出现在迷惑选项中,并且要注意否定之后马上会出现正确的答案。

“在问答中抓细节”这一方法同样适用于独白式的讲座,试想在这一类听力材料中,教授是所有内容的引导者和决定者,必定对自己所讲的内容、逻辑顺序以及重点要点了然于胸,那么教授为何要设置这种自问自答的环节呢? 无非是要引起学生的注意力,既然需要学生对这一部分多加关注那就必然是重点细节。

如TPO5的化学类文章中介绍了光谱学在现实领域中的应用。

文中教授以“What is Spectroscopy?”引出定义类细节“Well, the simplest definition I can give you is that Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and light.”,并以“ So, how do we use Spectroscopy? ”,“How and when they were made?”引出时间、方式等重要细节。

2.2 问答中的功能题功能题,要求考生听出话中隐含的意思,即言外之意,强调、提示以及更正错误等都是其中常见的句子功能类型,而问句的设置经常就起到这几种功用。

如反问句就是强调的一种重要方式,所谓反问句,即为了加重语气,突出重点而采用的形式。

我们知道如果在听力中出现“异常”情况经常是出题人故意“挖坑”,既然故意设置陷阱就经常会出题测验考生是否会被迷惑。

这些“坑”的表现形式就包括教授在提问过程中无人应答或学生在回答问题时吞吞吐吐、思维抛锚等,如TPO3 天文学文章中讲述了如何利用光谱学技术来测定天体上的化学元素,其中教授在以一种新元素为例说明光谱学技术的重要性时提问“Any guesses about what that element is? It actually turned out to be pretty common and I’m sure all of you know it.”,由此问题引出话题,但未得到学生的任何回应,因此教授进一步引导对此进行提示“ OK. Let’s try something else. Any of you happened to be familiar with the Greek word for‘sun’by chance?”这一问题就在文中明显起到暗示、提醒的作用。

2.3 问答中的态度题在托福听力的对话类文章中,交谈双方的情感态度往往是非常鲜明的,而讲座中的情感态度则相对较为含蓄,更多的考察的是教授或学生对某种理论、技术的看法,即是否相信某一理论能合理地解释某一现象,或对某一技术的未来发展前景是否看好,而这两类讲座中的情感态度经常会通过提问部分透露出来。

2.3.1学生质疑表态度在介绍某一research, study, guess, hypothesis, assumption时,经常会出现由学生提出质疑的部分,首先学生的质疑就表明了学生对此的态度,而教授对此的回应就紧接着体现了教授的态度。

如TPO4的生物学文章,教授介绍了动物特定行为“Displacement Activity” 及背后原因, 当教授以grooming 这种行为为例解释动物特定行为背后的原因时,学生对此进行质疑“Professor, isn’t it possible that animals groom because they’ve got messed up a little from fighting or mating? I mean if a bird’s feathers get ruffled or an animal’s fur, maybe it’s not so strange forthem to stop and tidy themselves up at that point”,说明学生对教授给出的解释持怀疑态度,而教授对此的回答“That’s another possible reason alth ough it doesn’t necessarily explain other behaviors such as eating, drinking or sleeping”则暗示与学生的推测相比,教授更倾向于之前的理论。

2.3.2教授自问自答表态度在很多的讲座中,尤其是在独白式的讲座中,教授经常会在讲座的结尾进行总结时就整篇文章所讲到的内容或其中的某些部分发表看法或进行评价,基于上文提到的一个目的——引起学生的注意力,这些评价和看法可能会以问答(自问自答,自问引起学生关注,自答标明态度形式出现。

如TPO 2 的心理学文章中主要讲述了肌肉活动和思维之间的关系,教授在详细介绍这一理论之后,在结尾明确提出“Are there alternatives to this motor theory —this claim that muscular activities are equivalent to thinking? Is there anything else that might account for this change in muscular activity, other than saying that it is thinking? And the answer is clearly yes. Is there any way to answer the question definitively? I think the answer is no”,用正反两个自问自答表明自己对这一理论的态度是“It cannot be completely proved or disproved”。

综合以上各点,不难看出,托福听力讲座虽然难度偏大,但并不是无规律可循的,准确把握听力材料中的问答部分对于理清全文脉络、稳抓重点是有一定的现实意义的。
