為了讓你對(duì)托福聽力考試技巧有一個(gè)生動(dòng)的形象化的認(rèn)識(shí),以下我們通過場(chǎng)景方法向你展示一個(gè)奇妙的答題方法。
場(chǎng)景法指的是考生通過對(duì)話揭示的場(chǎng)景關(guān)鍵詞,判斷磁帶上的對(duì)話或演講發(fā)生的實(shí)際生活場(chǎng)景,再根據(jù)這一生活場(chǎng)景答題。場(chǎng)景法可行的原因在于托??荚嚨哪康?。我們前面已經(jīng)說(shuō)過,托福測(cè)試的是外國(guó)學(xué)生在美國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)和生活要用到的基本語(yǔ)言能力,所以托福聽力在內(nèi)容上永遠(yuǎn)離不了學(xué)習(xí)和生活這一主題。學(xué)生生活的圈子不大,典型的仍然像中國(guó)的5點(diǎn)式,即宿舍-教室-食堂-圖書館-購(gòu)物。而托福聽力已經(jīng)考了幾十年了,學(xué)校里的幾乎每一個(gè)角落上都被考過了。只要考生能熟悉學(xué)校里的各個(gè)場(chǎng)所經(jīng)常發(fā)生的學(xué)生生活場(chǎng)景,僅憑幾個(gè)詞就可以知道整個(gè)對(duì)話或演講的大體內(nèi)容,從而得出(甚至猜出)正確答案。
在場(chǎng)景法的后面,我們將歸納美國(guó)大學(xué)生活的各個(gè)場(chǎng)合及其典型的對(duì)話內(nèi)容。在這里,我們的先介紹一下如何利用場(chǎng)景法。
為什么要用場(chǎng)景法?
很多做過托福聽力題的考生都有這種感受:即有些對(duì)話里的詞全都聽懂而且明白單詞的意思,就是選不出答案。更離譜的是,即使讓你看文字答案答題,你也未必會(huì)有很高的正確率。為什么會(huì)出現(xiàn)這種情況呢?原因在于場(chǎng)景,即英語(yǔ)里常說(shuō)的situation。我們平時(shí)碰到有人試圖安慰心情不好的自己時(shí),經(jīng)常會(huì)說(shuō)“你不是我,你不會(huì)明白的”,就是這個(gè)道理。在托福的聽力中,“清”的肯定不是“旁觀者”,而只有“當(dāng)局者”才會(huì)最清楚對(duì)話到底說(shuō)的是什么。而要成為“當(dāng)局者”,你必須熟悉托福聽力的大學(xué)生活背景。下面的例子列舉了熟悉場(chǎng)景的重要性:
He got in and pushed the button for the forth floor.Question: What did he do?
(A) He took the elevator.
(B) He sewed the buttons on.
(C) He dropped something on the floor.
(D) He made him go upstairs.
這個(gè)單句題(現(xiàn)在的聽力部分沒有這種單句題),如果你不熟悉電梯的話,你會(huì)一頭霧水,根本不知其所云何事。但是,如果你一聽到就想到了電梯的話,那么這根本不是問題。
所以,托福的聽力中的有些題目?jī)H憑聽清楚每個(gè)單詞的字面意思是不夠的(很多時(shí)候甚至是不必要的),你還必須生動(dòng)地想象出對(duì)話所發(fā)生的具體生活場(chǎng)景。
場(chǎng)景法的魅力
例如學(xué)生入學(xué)時(shí)登記注冊(cè)的場(chǎng)景。如果你平時(shí)記住了關(guān)于register的詞匯,如registration,course enrollment form,signed by academic advisor,get the department"s approval,tables set up aIl the way around,stamp your form,approved,pay for tuition,officially enrolled,pick up identification card。
那么,即使你聽力能力較差,對(duì)話的具體細(xì)節(jié)沒能聽懂,你也能答對(duì)題。如果你不相信的話,請(qǐng)?jiān)囍鴥H根據(jù)注冊(cè)這一大學(xué)里發(fā)生的場(chǎng)景,而不根據(jù)對(duì)話的內(nèi)容,做下面兩道題。
1.When would this talk be given?
(A) At the beginning of a semester.
(B) During the mid-semester vacation.
(C) At final examination time.
(D) Just before a gymnastics event.Q
2.swheresare the students going tomorrow?
(A) To registration office.
(B) To a class reunion.
(C) To their classes.
(D) To a track meet.
第1題:該對(duì)話肯定發(fā)生在學(xué)期初。答案確實(shí)唾手可得。
第2題:既然是講注冊(cè),那肯定是去registration office。
此外了解對(duì)話內(nèi)容及相關(guān)詞句和美國(guó)的大學(xué)生活對(duì)聽力考試也有幫助。
(1)對(duì)話內(nèi)容及相關(guān)詞句
以下是我們總結(jié)的針對(duì)對(duì)話內(nèi)容的詞句,記住這些詞句有助于你對(duì)對(duì)話內(nèi)容和場(chǎng)景的判斷,從而正確地答案。即使你沒有完全聽懂對(duì)話,你也可能根據(jù)判斷得出的對(duì)話場(chǎng)景正確地答題。
