Part A 中几个小词的把握。I thought(我愿以为), actually, really, as a matter of fact, to tell you the truth 都表示轻微或委婉的否定,根据这一点做题可以简化 很多。如A: How did your pictures at the Orientation come out? Did you get th em back from the photo shop? B: Actually, the film is still in the camera. I haven’t quite finish the rol l. 考生只须听见actually就足够了。 只有 C. The film hasn’t been processed yet. 带有否定意义并符合题意。 Part B, Part C 解题方法 1. 注意文中的疑问句,明显的语气变化和停顿。这些都是引起原文中重点部分的提示 ,也是意群转移的常见标志。 2. 注意文中非常不寻常之处, 特别是有most, unusual, special的地方,如, the tallest tree which is 80 meters; the standard weight is heavier than gold pe r weight; the place was once visited by the president 3. 注意因果。标志词 so, because, that is why.如,为什么要花巨资建造一个比黄 金还贵重的度量衡;为什么要用铝来代替铁。 4. 注意举例和对比。举例标志词有,here is, for example, one of.对比标志词有 more, better, before, earlier.最新题中的对比出现频率越来越高,所以一定要把具 体的对比点抓住并加以区分。如Wednesday上optional class而 Friday 为mid-term ex amination 5. 在选项中注意找文中的原词重复,同义词或同义词组的替换,以及同一个词的不同 词性的词的出现。而且要边听文章边看, 对解新题十分有效。如原文中反复出现shape , 答案选有shape的这个选项;文中反复出现了enormous, huge等词来形容squid,答案选 他们的同义词large.又如在electric fish中,原文出现了electricity, electrical。 正确答案为electric.但是如果出现了不止一个原词,或是既有原词又有同意替换,则应 听清楚具体问什么问题,根据问题,问什么选什么。 6. 注意某项研究的应用价值和意义,如果不能普及或没有价值,弄清楚为什么不能。 如electric fish 应用价值为有助于研究 nervous system,squid 说明人类对深海知之 甚少。通常一项科研成果不能广泛应用只有两个原因:1.economical 2.enviromental考 生可以据此猜答。 7. 如何把握开头和结尾。开头如出现 Today we are going to talk about/center on/ focus on 等词则开篇给出topic,一定要将后面的宾语记住,并在这一个talk的第一 个题中寻找有无该词的原词或同义词组的替换,以及同一个词的不同词性的词的出现。 如果有,则可以不听题目直接选上,必是topic题的答案。再此注意区分last time, th e previous time不要混淆。同理,结尾中的词应在这个talk的最后一个小题中找原词或 同义词组的替换,以及同一个词的不同词性的词的出现。
