Passage 2
Juan Louis, a
junior geology major,
decided to give an
informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience
and
analysis he
learned that only 2 or 3 of his classmates knew
much of anything about
geology(第30题答案,视听基本一致,定位点为only,anything).
Juan realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary
level and with a
minimum of
scientific language. As he prepared the
speech, Juan kept asking himself, "How can I make this clear and
meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or
geological principles?" Since he was
speaking in the Midwest, he
decided to begin by noting that the most
severeearthquake in
American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New
Madrid, Missouri in
1811.(第31题答案,视听基本一致,定位点since及案例)
If such an
earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the
Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would
flatten most of the
cities in the Mississippi valley. That, he figured, should get his
classmates' attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Juan
dealt only with the basic
mechanics of the earthquakes, carefully
avoid
technical terms. He also prepared visual aids, diagramming
photo line, so his classmates wouldn't get confused. To be
absolutely safe, Juan asked his roommate, who was not a geology
major, to listen to the speech. "Stop me," he said, "any time I say
something you don't understand." Juan's roommate stopped him four
times.(第32题答案,视听基本一致,定位点为举例直接引语)
And at each spot, Juan worked out a way to make his point more
clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and
perfectly understandable to his audience.
Questions 30 - 32 are based on the passage you have just
heard.
Q30 What did Juan Louis learn from the
analysis of his
audience?
Q31 How did Juan Louis start his speech?
二,
审题及利用选项推知答案
1.
审题的作用:
小对话--看选项,判断题目类型,推知解题方法。
长对话及短文--看选项,推断问题,方便运用视听基本一致原则且帮助定位。预测长对话或短文的主题。
2. 如何在完全听不懂的情况下通过选项推知答案:
一般的,当两个选项意思相近或谈论的话题相同时,其中一个可能是正确答案;当两个选项通过同义转换使得实际观点相同时,两个选项均不是答案;当两个选项话题相同且意思相反时,其中一个可能是正确答案。
例题:
2009年6月六级考试第14题
14. .A. She can help the man take care of the plants.
B. Most plants grow better in direct sunlight.
C. The plants need to be watered frequently.
D. The plants should be placed in a shady spot.
答案:D
原文:
14. M: The plants next to the window always look brown. You
wouldn't know by looking at them that I water them every week.
W: Maybe they don't like direct sunlight. I had the same problem
with some of my plants. And a little shade helps them
immensely.
Q: What does the woman imply?
解析:只看选项,CD选项相近且主语都是The plants,话题相同;BD选项话题相同且意思相反,所以选D 。
三, 新闻听力相关知识
2010年6月第一篇短文考察了新闻篇章听力。接下来简要介绍新闻听力相关知识。
决定新闻听力解题能力的主要是以下三个方面:
一,底词积累
所谓"底词",是指在
新闻英语中作为基础词的相关词汇,包括常见熟词的新闻范畴生僻词义以及专门的新闻用词。不仅要知道其含义,更要对其发音十分熟悉。
比如,
新闻听力最难的类型莫过于财政新闻,因为很多考生对于数字并不敏感,且对于财政方面的词汇积累更是有限,比如"multilateral
currency realignment"(跨国货币调整),不是学金融方面专业的同学恐怕会觉得无从下手。
类似这样的词汇很多在于日常的积累,这里举几个例子供大家参考:
毕业生就业率 graduate
employment rate
占有一个较大比例 form/constitute a large
proportion
贫富分化 polarization between the rich and the poor
社会保障体系 social
security system
危险被大大遏制了 the risk is largely contained
由于新闻词汇涵盖面很广,大家在业余时间应该去留意一下一些国家名、地名、政要名字等;大家同样也应多注意看一下CCTV-9的BizChina等财经节目以及各英语电视台的政治新闻,有助于提高财经和政治新闻方面的专业词汇量。
二,是否熟悉常见新闻结构
相对于一般短文,新闻有一些相对固定的比较常见的结构,如倒金字塔结构(最核心最重要的信息在最前面,之后一点点打开细节叙述)。最常考的新闻出题思路就是一个中心加若干细节的设题。把握住常见新闻结构的解题效率远高于盲目跟听。
三,是否能够根据自己的既有知识框架进行有效联想
几乎没有考生可以一次性听清楚新闻中的每一个单词,但这往往并不是决定这套新闻题目做的准确率高低的关键。新闻中具有大量的信息,但并不是所有信息都是有用信息。在进行有效的题目预设后,无关信息在听的过程中应该大胆放弃。遇到较难的专业词汇时,也不要慌张,通过联系上下文及开篇导语句进行词义句义猜测,千万不要顾此失彼,纠结在一个词义上而影响其他内容的听记。有效联想的练习应该落实在平时,要多注意积累,熟悉近期的国际时事,尤其政治、经济、重大科技发明等方面的事件。
新闻听力解题方案提要:
1,听前预审题。
主要通过选项猜测这篇新闻的主要谈论内容是什么。比如通过jump,
decline等词结合数字猜知这是财经新闻,通过casualty,
deaths等词猜知该新闻很可能会谈到一个事故和伤亡人数,通过政要的名字猜知可能会谈及政治时事等。审题同样可以结合
高频词汇、是否主语相同需看谓语、是否出现极端词、时态提示点等几个通用审题要点。
2,听时抓首句。
最常见的倒金字塔新闻格式决定了最常考的新闻出题思路就是一个中心加若干细节的设题。所以,首句群作为全文的开始,通常是重要信息点的罗列,必须要认真听。
3,不忘记笔记。
除了抓住首句群,
新闻听力同样要求大家能够时时做笔记,建议结合新闻结构,用分类流程图的方式快速记录新闻的要点。注意要按逻辑顺序记录,不要只记下无关堆砌的一堆词。此外,考生平时应该注意培养速记的习惯。
4,联想加回忆。
很多考生如果平时做到关心时事,那么真的在考试中遇到熟悉事情的新闻篇章也不足为奇。新闻本身就是对时事的记录,所以有的同学认为
新闻听力有道理可循有范围可押题,这在一定程度上是讲得通的。建议大家可以多登录比如yahoo
英语新闻和CRI、CCTV-9等
英语新闻媒体,做好日常积累,在考试的时候进行有效的联想和回忆,拿高分则胜算在手。
