托福聽(tīng)力PartA:短對(duì)話(二)

字號(hào):

2.考點(diǎn)
    在這一部分,你將首先聽(tīng)到兩個(gè)人的對(duì)話,然后是一個(gè)問(wèn)題,問(wèn)題通常是關(guān)于第2個(gè)說(shuō)話人的comment的。下面是這一部分??嫉目键c(diǎn)。有時(shí)一道題中有不止一個(gè)的考點(diǎn)。詞匯純粹的單詞量測(cè)試,但通常不是難詞(大學(xué)四級(jí)或以下單詞)。比如題干中聽(tīng)到形容詞terrific,那么包含terrific的同義詞excellent或者very good的選項(xiàng)就是正確答案。也就是說(shuō),不僅要認(rèn)識(shí)關(guān)鍵詞也要知道它常用的同義詞。不過(guò),這種題大多比較容易。因?yàn)檫@些詞匯都很常見(jiàn)。

    W: Why are you leaving so early? The movie doesn't start till seven.
    M: I don't want to be at the traffic there. It's a nightmare on the expressway during rush hour.
    Q: What does the man mean?
    (A) He wants to go early to avoid a traffic jam.
    (B) He wants to leave the theater before the movie is over.
    (C) He doesn't know the way to the theater.
    (D) He doesn't usually get up at 7:00.
    答案是A.這里整個(gè)對(duì)話都在講時(shí)間問(wèn)題,關(guān)鍵詞是traffic(交通)。其實(shí),即使你不認(rèn)識(shí)或者不十分確定它的意思,你也可以通過(guò)don't want to和avoid之間的同義轉(zhuǎn)換選出正確的答案?,?BR>    1999年1月聽(tīng)力題
    W:If George misses one more meeting we are going to have to find one new committee secretary.M:We'd better give him an ultimatum.
    Q: What does the man suggest they do?
    (A) Remove George from the committee immediately.
    (B) Warn George that his attendance problem is serious.
    (C) Offer to help George during the meeting.(D) Telephone George to see if he's coming to the meeting.?
    答案是B.
    如果你認(rèn)識(shí)并聽(tīng)懂ultimatum是“最后通牒”的意思的話,你輕而易舉就能選出它的同義轉(zhuǎn)換warn sb about sth(警告)。而第一句同樣說(shuō)明了George是個(gè)不太稱職的secretary,但卻用are going to將來(lái)時(shí)說(shuō)明并非要remove George form the committee immediately.
