加拿大英語(yǔ)考試托福學(xué)會(huì)這些技巧輕松搞定態(tài)度類(lèi)聽(tīng)力題

眾所周知，托福聽(tīng)力喜歡考察speaker的emotion or attitude。簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，就是考察：

1.speaker對(duì)于他人所言的直觀感受

比如，feel surprised ；feel intriguing ；feel worried等；

2.speaker對(duì)于他人所言的回應(yīng)：

比如，agree with；給出具體回答等
而同學(xué)們?cè)谧鲞@類(lèi)題時(shí)，大多都是通過(guò)“speaker語(yǔ)氣起伏”來(lái)直觀判斷的。比如：

1.speaker的語(yǔ)氣充滿(mǎn)了驚訝：uh？？？
2.speaker的語(yǔ)氣里充滿(mǎn)的懷疑：do you？？？
3.speaker的音量升高

但是，所有的態(tài)度類(lèi)考點(diǎn)信號(hào)都是從“語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)變化”里出來(lái)的嗎？當(dāng)然不是，今天我們就來(lái)講一講不屬于語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)變化類(lèi)型的情感態(tài)度類(lèi)考題，我們應(yīng)該在文章如何預(yù)判這類(lèi)考點(diǎn)？托?？荚?/a>

You know, I loved math nights, but actually, I was already one of those kids who didn't have a problem with math, which is why I ended up being a math major. I guess. I think the more relevant question is, did my parents enjoy it? But they were good sports.托福聽(tīng)力

簡(jiǎn)化一下這里的邏輯關(guān)系，請(qǐng)大家?guī)臀蚁胂耄旅孢@個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)當(dāng)中的sth應(yīng)該偏向于什么意思？

I loved math nights + I didn't have a problem with math
Did my parents enjoy it？But + sth

可以推出，Sth約等于My parents didn’t enjoy math nights as me

所以，我們做題時(shí)，應(yīng)該往相應(yīng)的情感色彩上去選，排除D，因?yàn)楦改覆⒉粦?yīng)該show much interest。并且，不應(yīng)該選到“sports-運(yùn)動(dòng)”這一本意。因?yàn)樯舷挛木鶝](méi)有講到運(yùn)動(dòng)相關(guān)話題，所以這里的sports不是本意，而是在一個(gè)詞組中的固定搭配，因此排除A和C。最終選擇是B。

最后我們來(lái)積累一個(gè)新表達(dá)：Someone is a good sport：
Someone to be good-natured or amiable despite unpleasant circumstances

結(jié)合context，父母可能并不enjoy這類(lèi)活動(dòng)，卻陪著她參加：為了自己女兒才參加的這類(lèi)活動(dòng)。

總結(jié)：回想重聽(tīng)句所在的context，通過(guò)but/however/yet推斷情感傾向。

通過(guò)result判定

小Tip：請(qǐng)大家抓取“學(xué)生提問(wèn)”，聽(tīng)清問(wèn)題后，需要pay attention to“教授如何回應(yīng)”。

接下來(lái)，請(qǐng)同學(xué)們聽(tīng)下面這份音頻的0’’-3’06’’，然后做題：

Why does the professor say this:

A. To invite the student to disagree with her
B.To encourage the student to think more about the subject
C.To remind the student that the material was already covered in class
D. To suggest that there is no single right answer to the question

分析：

why don’t you tell me是個(gè)問(wèn)句，單從問(wèn)句出發(fā)，可以有很多種解讀，沒(méi)辦法下結(jié)論。

要弄清楚“提問(wèn)人的intention”，首先需要回憶起這個(gè)問(wèn)題前面是什么，也就是學(xué)生的問(wèn)題：So, what happened? I mean, why don't we still do this now? 學(xué)生提出問(wèn)題后，教授反問(wèn)，意思偏向“應(yīng)該由你來(lái)告訴我答案”。

再往后，教授一步一步提問(wèn)：學(xué)生：為什么現(xiàn)在的人們，不像過(guò)去那樣，晚上睡兩次呢？

教授：What are some major differences between life in, say, 17th century, England and life here now?

學(xué)生：我不會(huì)像過(guò)去的人那樣，睡那么早

教授：But don't you ever start to feel tired around dusk? Darkness is one of the biological triggers of sleep which will get into a little later.

學(xué)生：會(huì)困的，但是室內(nèi)并不昏暗。Oh, that's it. They didn't have electric lights back then.他們那個(gè)時(shí)候沒(méi)有照明。（過(guò)去沒(méi)有照明，所以會(huì)在黃昏時(shí)困，因此要睡兩次；現(xiàn)在有照明，不會(huì)在黃昏時(shí)刻犯困，因此只要睡一次）

由此，在教授的一步步提問(wèn)下，學(xué)生自己得出了答案。從最終結(jié)果，反推出教授說(shuō)“why don’t you tell me”的目的是：在啟發(fā)學(xué)生，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生多想想，選擇B選項(xiàng)。

總結(jié)：重聽(tīng)題為“提問(wèn)”時(shí)，可以回憶一下這個(gè)提問(wèn)的result，從result來(lái)反推question目的。
