在
托福考试听力中,很多学生在改自己错题的时候,都告诉我说自己漏听了,当再放一边的时候,往往题目都可以做对,那么为什么自己会漏听这个关键的点呢,其实,是因为有一些关键的信号词,或者说考点,学生没有烂熟于心,以至于答案出现的时候,学生以为是一些无关紧要的信息,所以错过了。
最常见的信号词but或者however,我们都知道,在说话的时候but后面一般是重点,所以在听到but的时候,一定要认真,因为这可能就是考点
例题
TPO 46 lecture 1
What is the professor’s attitude about attempts to create computer-generated crowds of people?
A.She believes that the rules of birds’flocking behavior do not apply to group behavior in humans.
B.She thinks that crowd scenes could be improved by using the behavior of ant colonies as a model.
C.She is surprised by how realistic the computer-generated crowds are.
D.She is impressed that computer graphics can create such a wide range of emotions.
这道题目是一道明显的态度题,所以学生要注意在听演讲的时候,一旦出现教授表达自己对于某一个话题,理论或者一个做法,发表自己观点的时候,一定要注意听,也就是当有I出现的时候,另外,however也是观点有转折的地方的关键
对应原文
However,I am not surprised that more research is needed.The three rules I’ve mentioned might be great for bird simulations,but they don’t take into account the complexity and unpredictability of human behavior.
在听力原文里,当我们听到however和I出现的时候,就要知道后面出现的信息比较关键“more research is needed“说明教授决定需要有更多的研究,负向态度,排除c和d,再根据后面but中有提到“they don’t take into account the complexity and unpredictability of human behavior.”他们没有考虑到人类的行为,这个说明,这个研究有问题,而且不适用于人类,所以要选择A.
