托福聽力考試中的送分題

　　托福聽力題型中的重聽題大致可分為：1.推斷類，問法一般是：what does the professor mean when he says this-2.態(tài)度類，一般的問法是：why does the professor say this-意在考察考生能否理解說話人說話人說這句話的原因，目的和態(tài)度，能否明白字面以外的意思。

　　重聽題在大部分情況下都可以通過只聽題目來解題。 ETS通過此類題目重在考察對說話人語氣的把握，重聽題選取的情況大致可以分布在以下幾處：1.說話人語氣語調(diào)加強的時候2.有人提問的時候3文章結構轉 接處。考生在聽整篇聽力文章的時候，在聽到說話人的語氣有特別的加強的時候就要注意，你不需要記下來這句被加強了的話具體是什么，此時需要做的是在腦海里 留下個印象，聽出來說話人說話時候的態(tài)度是什么就可以了，然后等你回過頭來做重聽題又剛好問到這句話的時候就可以有很大的把握答對這道題目了。

　　接下來我們來舉幾個例子：

　　在資料12-c1中有這么一道題目

　　(語音)Student: Yeah, I never know how much to include. You know…where to draw the line-

　　Professor: Tell me about it!

　　What does the professor mean when she says this-

　　A. She understands the student's problem.

　　B. She wants the student to explain his comment.

　　C. She did not hear what the student said.

　　D. She does not accept the student's excuse.

　　解釋：看這道重聽的問法是屬于推斷題，英語里tell me about it是一種很常見的口語表達，表示贊同的意思，并不是字面上的"跟我講講"的意思。所以說考生如果熟悉這個英語的固定表達方式的話就可以很輕松的做對這道題目。答案選A

　　接下來我們來看下到道態(tài)度題(資料7-L3)的例子

　　(語音)Student: I know people make utensils out of wood, but utensils out of tree bark-

　　why does the student say this -

　　A. To share what he knows about birch wood

　　B. To point out a misprint in the textbook

　　C. To bring up a point from a previous lecture

　　D. To request more explanation from the professor 解釋：我們能夠聽出來學生對"utensils"這個概念提出了自己的理解，然后再引出了疑問，很明顯他在請求professor 的解釋。另外B和C是無關選項我們可以排除。然后A選項，學生這句話是圍繞著"utensils"來展開的并不是wood，所以也可以排除。答案選D

　　后請大家注意下面例題里的說話人的語氣(資料1-L4)

　　(語音)Student: Oh, I see. At first I wasn't sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I get it. It's the amount of time it takes for them to grow, right- So it would be five months-

　　Professor: Umm- Oh, uh… I'm sorry but no. It has nothing to do with that.

　　Why does the professor say this -

　　A. To inform the student that his definition is incorrect

　　B. To suggest that the student did not do the reading

　　C. To encourage the student to try again

　　D. To change the topic of discussion

　　解釋：請注意professor 的語氣"Umm-Oh…I'm sorry but no."雖然問題的考點是后面那句話"It has nothing to do with that"但是如果你聽出了professor的語氣的話，你甚至可以在還沒有聽到后面那句陳述句的時候就能夠從她前面的語氣中明白她對之前學生講的這番 話的態(tài)度了。很顯然她是在糾正學生的錯誤，所以答案選a。
