造成后者的原因其實很簡單,就是所謂的“強讀”與“弱讀”。以but為例,正常發(fā)音是:[b?t],但考試中音頻經常為[b?t], 甚至[b?], 而且速度非???,導致眾多考生沒法識別出來。
一定記住一點:雅思聽力選擇題的套路往往是把A,B,C三個選項分別闡述一下,再轉折,接考點。所以強轉折一定要加以注意。
劍橋真題五 test4
25. What does Karin think the company will do?
A. look for private investors
B. accept a takeover offer
C. issue some new shares
分析:
TRANSCRIPT:
Obviously they have the choice of accepting the very favourable terms that another company… have given them to buy them out. Or they could decide on a bolder move and offer some new shares if they wanted. But I think they are more cautious than that and expect that they will start trying to find individuals who’d be prepared to back them with some of the capital they need.
在這里,B和C的同義置換均有所出現(xiàn)。buy out即買斷,對應B項的takeover; offer some new shares對應C項。但是下文又都予于否定,重點就在于but之后的內容。所以建議考生在聽力過程中積極識別強轉折信號詞。正確答案選A。
