托福聽力態(tài)度題更多的是考察同學(xué)們對(duì)于情緒的感知,那么下面就和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)的小編一起來看看托福聽力:態(tài)度題。
《托??荚嚬俜街改?Offcial Guide》中態(tài)度題被描述為:The second type of pragmatic understanding question test whether you understand a speaker’s attitude maybe asked a question about the speaker’s feelings,likes anddislikes or reasons for anxiety or amusement.從OG中我們不難看出,說話者想表達(dá)的或正或負(fù)的情感是我們解題的Key。
想要更好應(yīng)對(duì)托福聽力態(tài)度題,我們首先需要了解一下常見各類態(tài)度,一般可以分為肯定、否定、懷疑和客觀這四種:
肯定態(tài)度(positive)favorable,approval,enthusiastic,supportive
否定態(tài)度(negative)disapproval,dissatisfied,objection,opposition,critical,compromising,concerned
懷疑態(tài)度(doubtful)suspicious,incredulous,skeptical,questionable
客觀態(tài)度(objective)neutral,impartial,disinterested,unprejudiced,unbiased,detached
首先我們先回歸到官方指南去研究一下所給出的做題建議?!癓earn to pay attention to speaker’s tone of voice. Does the speaker sound apologetic? Confused? Enthusiastic? The speaker’s tone can help you answer this kind of question.” 不難分析,整句話的核心在于tone (語氣) 這個(gè)詞。根據(jù)官方指南上的建議,我們需要著重關(guān)注說話者的語氣來解決這類題目即關(guān)注說話者在描述某個(gè)物體或某件事時(shí)所使用的形容詞或副詞的感情色彩。下面我們通過一道真題來看一看態(tài)度題的解題秘籍。
What is the professor's attitude when she discusses the master writer seminar?
is surprised that more students do not enroll in it.
is excited because she learns a great deal from her students.
is pleased because it gives students a strong foundation in literary
theory and criticism.
is disappointed that she does not get to teach it as often as she would like
由題干單詞attitude可見,此題是一道態(tài)度題,考查教授對(duì)于他所教研究生課程的態(tài)度。分別來看A,B,C,D四個(gè)選項(xiàng),每個(gè)選項(xiàng)均有標(biāo)紅的態(tài)度詞表示其態(tài)度。在我們把某道題妥妥的歸結(jié)為態(tài)度題后,我們需要進(jìn)行一個(gè)排正負(fù)的過程。就例題而言,B和C選項(xiàng)分別出現(xiàn)了正向態(tài)度詞excited和pleased并且句意為正(好事),而D選項(xiàng)disappointed無疑是一個(gè)負(fù)選項(xiàng)(壞事),最后我們看到了A選項(xiàng)中一個(gè)熟悉又陌生的詞surprised, 大家需要注意的一點(diǎn)是surprise 這個(gè)詞宜好宜壞,需要結(jié)合整句話來判斷正負(fù)。由于本例句的A選項(xiàng)含義為“她對(duì)于很多學(xué)生沒能注冊(cè)進(jìn)這門課程表示驚訝”為負(fù)向含義,因此A選項(xiàng)的surprise為負(fù)。到此為止,我們的第一步排正負(fù)的工作順利完成。A,D選項(xiàng)為負(fù)。 B,C選項(xiàng)為正。接下來我們只要回歸原文并辨別定位句說話者的語氣就能順利的排除或正或負(fù)的一組選項(xiàng)啦~就本例題而言,回歸原文定位句“And my students, they bring so much insight to the table that it’s easy to forget who the professor is.”整句話內(nèi)容為正,因此我們可以大膽的排除A和D兩個(gè)負(fù)向選項(xiàng)后再做選擇。
