托福聽力態(tài)度題解題思路實例分析
實例1:托福官方??继最}4 Conversation 1
What is the man’s attitude toward his current assignment?
A.He is not confident that he will find the materials he needs.
B.He feels that performing in a play is less boring than reading one.
C.He thinks his review of the play will be more objective than the contemporary reviews were.
D.He is optimistic that he will learn to appreciate the play he is researching.
聽力原文:
Student:That’s a good idea. I’ll have a better idea of what I really think of it before I read those reviews.
Librarian:I’m sure you will be surprised that anyone ever found it radical. But you will see why it is still powerful, dramatically speaking.
Student:Yeah, it must be something about it, or the professor wouldn’t have assigned it. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
分析:正確答案是D。首先根據(jù)托福聽力按順序出題的原則,可以判斷第4題的答案應該在原文比較偏后的位置,因此找到對應筆記位置即可。其次,根據(jù)以上聽力原文,學生說的I’ll have a better idea...和I’m sure I’ll figure it out兩句話可以得知,學生的態(tài)度是非常optimistic(樂觀的)的,因此正確答案應該選擇D。本題的考察點是學生的語氣語調(diào)和評價性內(nèi)容。另外,筆者提醒考生,平時做題還要做一下錯誤選項分析,以本題為例,A選項說not confident,學生的語氣是輕快而自信的,是積極正面的,因此與原文相違背,排除。B選項中的boring雖然是評價性的形容詞,文中也確實提及過,但是并沒有將performing和reading進行比較。C選項中的contemporary reviews文中也提到了,但是是比較靠前面位置提及的,后面就再也沒提到了,并且也沒有比較過objective的問題,因此排除。
實例2:托福官方模考套題4 Conversation 2
What is the professor’s opinion of the other students in the woman’s group?
A. They try to take credit for work they did not do.
B.They did not perform well in previous courses with him.
C.They are more motivated when they are working in a group.
D.They do good work when they are interested in the subject.
聽力原文:
Professor:I know Teresa and Kevin. I had both of them on other courses. So, I’m familiar with the work and work habits.
Student:I know, me too. That’s why this has really surprised me.
分析:正確答案是D本題考查的是語意。學生在開始一直抱怨的是其他組員不配合,而當老師了解了一些情況后提到之前他也認識這兩個學生,他的了解中這兩個學生不是這樣的。所以那兩個學生是可以認真做工作的,推斷出前提是他們對這個工作感興趣。所以不僅要理解文章的語意,還要理解好上下文銜接的內(nèi)容。
綜上所述,要掌握好態(tài)度題,就一定要關注兩個點:說話人的語氣和語義。從直接和間接連個角度分析文章,每次做完題之后記得做錯題總結(jié)和對應考點分析。只要能夠做到這兩點,小編相信大家一定能攻克態(tài)度題這個難關。
