托福聽(tīng)力其中一種題型就是態(tài)度題,想要做對(duì)它,要求大家理解說(shuō)話者的感受,是支持還是反對(duì),亦或是積極的還是消極的,傳達(dá)的是快樂(lè)還是悲傷,亦或是充滿了激情還是厭倦,表達(dá)出了肯定的態(tài)度或者是否定的態(tài)度,或是中立的態(tài)度(這種情況下,必須觀察教授的觀點(diǎn)有哪些)。通常討論有一定有爭(zhēng)議的文章,這個(gè)這么說(shuō),那個(gè)那么說(shuō),如此教授有什么態(tài)度呢?此為文章的考點(diǎn)所在。
二.態(tài)度題有什么標(biāo)志
不論其用什么形式出現(xiàn),考生所看見(jiàn)的題干最常出現(xiàn)的詞是opinion和attitude,也就是觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度是什么?所以看到題干中出現(xiàn)opinion和attitude就要注意是傳說(shuō)中的態(tài)度題啦。
三.遇到態(tài)度題應(yīng)該怎么做
觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題出題思路大致可分為兩種:
(A)在文中直接表明觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度
1.例如通過(guò)語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)判斷(上揚(yáng)表示情緒驚訝,下降通常表示懷疑態(tài)度);我們來(lái)看一道例題(TPO 22/L4,有女生插問(wèn)到professor對(duì)于”樂(lè)器僅僅為了覆蓋電影放映機(jī)的聲音而存在”這一情況的態(tài)度(問(wèn)答環(huán)節(jié)一般都是聽(tīng)力題目的出題點(diǎn)), professor在原文中有明顯的語(yǔ)調(diào)下降,甚至有點(diǎn)對(duì)于這一說(shuō)法有點(diǎn)蔑視,即刻便說(shuō)了Too bad it keeps getting printed as if it were the only reason music was used. Well, think about it… “too bad”亦體現(xiàn)出professor的否認(rèn)質(zhì)疑態(tài)度,因此答案選的是He doubts that it can fully explain why music was played.
2.通過(guò)形容詞判斷。如:
肯定態(tài)度(positive): favorable, approval, enthusiastic , supportive
否定態(tài)度(negative): disapproval, dissatisfied, objection, opposition, critical, compromising, concerned
懷疑態(tài)度(doubtful): suspicious, incredulous, skeptical, questionable
客觀態(tài)度(objective): neutral, impartial, disinterested, unprejudiced, unbiased, detached
例如TPO23/L1中問(wèn)及professor對(duì)于Antikythera Mechanism年齡的態(tài)度。Professor在原文提到the evidence makes an absolute case that this device dates back to ancient Greece somewhere between 150 and 100 B.C.E.后面在轉(zhuǎn)折詞but后繼續(xù)提到the physical evidence is conclusive.也就是”absolutely, conclusive“這些詞都體現(xiàn)出作者對(duì)于它的年齡分析是肯定的。當(dāng)然professor在陳述這些情況的時(shí)候語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)有明顯的升華,(暗示著大家這是一個(gè)出題點(diǎn),速記的時(shí)候要有敏感度)。 因此答案選的即是She is confident that the dating is accurate.
(B)間接表示觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。
有的時(shí)候,說(shuō)話人會(huì)通過(guò)委婉的方式表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),目的是為了體現(xiàn)出自己的觀點(diǎn)顯得更加公允,不偏激。這種觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度一般是通過(guò)迂回的句型表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。例如,(TPO24/L1)
I heard some great examples of this on the television program on crocodiles last week. Anyone catch it? It had a few interesting bits. But you know, uh, you have to be careful, think critically. Sometimes I don't know where these shows find their experts.
What is the professor's opinion about the television program that she mentions?
She is concerned about the accuracy of some of the information the experts provided.
She is hopeful that the class will be able to discuss it.
She thinks it was overly critical of some recent theories about crocodiles.
She is surprised that it did not include more examples of crocodile communication
從前面幾句話來(lái)看,professor覺(jué)得電視中關(guān)于鱷魚(yú)的節(jié)目是有點(diǎn)意思的。但是之后她的語(yǔ)氣有明顯的停頓(暗示出題點(diǎn)),并在轉(zhuǎn)折之后表示希望同學(xué)們仔細(xì)點(diǎn),犀利一些,想想這些節(jié)目從哪兒找來(lái)的專家。體現(xiàn)出professor對(duì)這些節(jié)目的質(zhì)疑,因此答案是A選項(xiàng),值得注意的是,此題中的C選項(xiàng)雖然有critical這個(gè)詞,但是它的意思是指“電視節(jié)目過(guò)于critical了,有悖于原文的意思,不能選。
