短對(duì)話:
今年6月的這次聽(tīng)力考試中,就短對(duì)話而言,對(duì)話場(chǎng)景都是平時(shí)同學(xué)們?cè)跉v年真題中做得熟練、課堂上老師強(qiáng)調(diào)多的一些場(chǎng)景,不是特別難。8道短對(duì)話中,就出現(xiàn)了12, 14, 15, 16, 17,總共5題涉及到了熟悉的校園場(chǎng)景。
然而,這次短對(duì)話中無(wú)論是在對(duì)話中好是在選項(xiàng)中,仍然一如既往地重視對(duì)某個(gè)關(guān)鍵的核心詞、詞組的考核,這也進(jìn)一步體現(xiàn)了六級(jí)聽(tīng)力在新題型被大家逐步接受、穩(wěn)定之后,開(kāi)始在詞匯上繼續(xù)探索和發(fā)掘新考點(diǎn)。
以12題為例:
M: I really need to make some [wv]extra[/wv[ money. You know, I’ve practically spent my entire budget for the semester.
W: Why not check out the new cafeteria at the Market Street. I think there’s still a few opening suitable for seniors like you.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
聽(tīng)到semester(學(xué)期),senior(大四學(xué)生)可以輕而易舉地判斷出校園場(chǎng)景,直接排除C)。但這題真正的考點(diǎn)在于opening一詞。大部分考生的第一反應(yīng)是“開(kāi)口、洞、開(kāi)始……”,但這里意思是“職位空缺”。把握住這一詞,才能理解女孩建議男孩嘗試一下可能是適合大四學(xué)生的兼職工作,直接鎖定D) Solve his program by doing a part-time job.所以也提醒廣大考生,對(duì)“一詞多義”現(xiàn)象要足夠重視,尤其是越是貌似平凡的詞,越容易綿里藏刀。
不過(guò)從另一個(gè)角度來(lái)說(shuō),今年的短對(duì)話,詞匯上的確有翻新,但是在作題套路沒(méi)太大變化―――當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)選項(xiàng)當(dāng)中某一個(gè)單詞被對(duì)話明顯讀到的話,這個(gè)選項(xiàng)往往是不選的。
A) Work out a plan to tighten his budget.
B) Find out the opening hours of the cafeteria.
C) Apply for a senior poison in the restaurant.
而這樣的題目我們?cè)诮裉炜赐曛笥泻芏嗍沁@樣的,如果你的眼睛和你耳朵當(dāng)時(shí)功能是非常齊備的話,題目做起來(lái)就順利多的。
再以14題為例:
W: Hello, Professor White, I got my grade in the mail this morning, but I think there might be a mistake in my mark.
M: Yeah. I’ve got several calls just like yours. There must be a problem with a computing system. It should be straightened out in a coupleof hours.
Q: What does the man mean?
我相信,這題絕大部分內(nèi)容都是些再基礎(chǔ)不過(guò)的簡(jiǎn)單詞匯、句型,理解一點(diǎn)也不難。但考點(diǎn)就集中在be straightened out,加上straightened out連讀得很猛,考生可能聽(tīng)得一頭霧水,做題也就無(wú)從下手了。be straightened out意思是“被解決”,理解詞義之后,答案A) The errors will be corrected soon.也就無(wú)處藏身了。不過(guò),同樣,這里出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)出現(xiàn)多年的做題選項(xiàng)特征。當(dāng)你聽(tīng)到there might be a mistake in my mark中的核心詞mistake時(shí),轉(zhuǎn)而發(fā)現(xiàn)A) 當(dāng)中的errors,作為“聽(tīng)力原文中的核心詞同義替換項(xiàng)”往往就是正確選項(xiàng),所以說(shuō),依然貫穿了這一歷年來(lái)常見(jiàn)??嫉慕忸}技巧。
但同樣也有在選項(xiàng)中設(shè)置障礙的考點(diǎn)。
以13題為例:
M: I hear John left his cat in your care while he’s on vacationabroad. How are you getting along with it?
W: Well, it never comes when I call it. It spills its food and sheds all over the place. I can’t wait till John gets back.
Q: How does the woman find the cat?
女孩替在外度假的John照看他的寵物貓。但小貓要么打翻食物,要么弄得地上到處是留下的食物。一肚子的怨氣,就盼著貓主人早點(diǎn)回來(lái)把它帶走。對(duì)話內(nèi)容難度不高,但選項(xiàng)中,考生們要理解“nuisance”的意思―――“讓人惱火的事、人”,這樣C) A real nuisance.就是正確答案。
