    　托福聽力 場景對話解析
    托福聽力真題TPO第一套的第四篇是課程場景對話。對話的整體思路和出題點分析如下。
    對話開篇
    本篇課程場景對話開篇是非典型的，屬于教授針對自己感興趣的話題找學生交談，所以第一題主旨題的答案對應開篇教授說的"Hi Mathew, I'm glad you can come in today. You've been observing Mr. Grable's third-grade class for your approaches to education paper。"學生正在聽課，第一題What is the conversation mainly about? 答案為 B. A class Matthew has been observing. Mathew正在聽的一門課程。切記，聽準開頭做主旨題。
    對話中間
    兩人展開Mathew聽課之后的感受的討論。Mathew用了一系列的積極向上的詞來表達聽課的感受，比如"amazing、 learning so much、so glad……I mean it's like the best thing ever to prepare you to be a good teacher."這里對應第二題What is Matthew's opinion about observing Mr. Grabell's third-grade class? 很明顯答案為A. It will help him become a more efficient teacher. 可以有效幫助他成為一個能干的教師。這里既符合語義重復也符合最高級強調(the best thing)筆記法。
    然后，教授提到It seems that Mr. Grable has mastered the interdisciplinary approach to teaching - the way we've been talking about in class.即課上講過一種教學法IAT，后面聽到的內(nèi)容是對此教學法的解釋。Matthew用到了舉例子的講課法，舉了教授講的天文學課程用到了mythology的知識，這里對應第三題Why does Matthew mention Greek and Roman mythology? 答案是D. To illustrate a technique used to teach a third-grade class. 為何提到舉例主體，答案為例子出現(xiàn)前面的topic，即教授提到的IAT教學法。
    接下來，Mathew談到了學生在課上學習到的主要技能，And each student chose a planet and then did research on it to write a report and make a presentation. They went to the library to do the research, then they made presentations about the planet they chose.先做research，再寫report，然后做presentation。
    教授和Mathew再次重復這個信息，符合重復原則筆記法。對應第四題What important skill did Mr. Grabell introduce to his third-grade class?五選三，答案為 B. Using books in the library. D. Speaking in public. E. Writing reports.
    對話結尾
    結尾部分，教授對Mathew 提出建議"You know, Mathew, I'd love you to talk about this astronomy unit in class on Wednesday."Mathew開始并未答應教授的建議，后來同意了教授的建議，所以最后的第五題What will Matthew probably do in next Wednesday's class? 預測Mathew接下來可能做什么的答案為C. Make a presentation to the class. 將文中關鍵詞talk同義替換為presentation。這是推斷題考結尾段的引申的典型例子。
    希望本篇解析可以起到拋磚引玉的作用，給備考托福的考生在對真題的理解上以啟發(fā)。
