Integrated Task
Q: 閱讀文章和聽力文章中共有幾種可能的關(guān)系？
A: There are three kinds of connections between the reading passage and the listening passage.
a. The listening passage that challenges the points made in the reading.
b. The listening passage that presents the reasons/ways the problem described in the reading passage is solvable or really not a problem at all.
c. The listening passage that supports the points made in the reading.
[OG, P252] [Workshop Manual, P41]
目前考的都是Contrast題目(只有考到了Solution，但也和Contrast差不多)，預(yù)計(jì)在不久的將來也不會有太大變化。根據(jù)ETS高級專員(Assessment Specialist II)Susan Hines [Dec, 2006]的說法，目前題庫中還沒有出過關(guān)于support的題目("Comparison is not available now.")，所以建議大家主要針對contrast題目進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練，偶爾也可以用朗文的光盤訓(xùn)練一下solution的寫法。有效的12個訓(xùn)練題目我會在課程中給大家列出來。
Q: 閱讀文章和聽力文章之間一般會有幾點(diǎn)相關(guān)聯(lián)？
A: "Typically the main idea will be developed with three points." [OG, P252]
Q: 文章中可不可以出現(xiàn)自己對所談問題的看法？
A: "Remember that you are NOT being asked for your opinion. You ARE being asked to explain how the points in the listening relate to points in the reading." [OG, P253]
Q: 寫作的時候可不可以照搬閱讀和聽力中的原話？
A: 總的來講，照搬原文是不可以的。關(guān)鍵詞可以不變，但是整體內(nèi)容必須被paraphrase出來，特別是閱讀材料里面的內(nèi)容。
"In English-speaking countries, you must follow the rules for citing when you use the same words of the original speaker or author. If you do not do this, it is considered a form of intellectual stealing, called plagiarism. While this may be accepted in some cultures, it is not acceptable in most English-speaking academic settings. Therefore, paraphrasing skills are important to learn." [TOEFL iBT Tips, P29]
"Restatement and paraphrasing is, of course, needed." [Susan Hines, Dec., 2006]
Q: 5分和4分的區(qū)別在哪里？
A: "A response that scores at level 4 has many of the characteristics of a 5, but it does not reflect the content of the listening passage as accurately." [Workshop Manual, P45]
Q: 高分(5分、4分)和3分的區(qū)別在哪里？
A: "The response may omit one major key point made in the lecture." [Workbook, P7]
"Response generally cannot receive a score higher than 3 if they do not address all three points and usually need to address two of the points of contrast." [Workbook, P11]
"Responses that earn a score of 3 respond to the prompt, but they are vaguer than either 4 or 5 responses. Some details might be incorrect or altogether missing and inaccuracies increase. This combination may cause the reader to be slightly confused." [Workshop Manual, P46]
