托業(yè)聽力PartA:短對話(3)
    習(xí)語和短語,指的是慣用詞組或者常見的口語化表達(dá)。它在托福聽力中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn),而且比較難。原因仍然是我們平時(shí)很少練習(xí)聽力。而且口語化的表達(dá)也使一貫重視語法的中國式英語教育暴露出明顯的缺點(diǎn)。但是,你卻可以通過我們后面給你總結(jié)的托福聽力詞句精選快速地掌握這些常見的口語化表達(dá)和慣用詞組。經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的詞組比如對話中說: Kathys effort really paid off。那么選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的Kathys hard work had a positive result就是正確答案。這里考的是paid off這個(gè)短語的含義?,?BR>    1999年1月聽力題
