功能題很好識別,常見問法是:
Why does the professor mention X?
Why does the professor discuss X?
Why does the professor talk about X?
也就是說問教授為什么提到X,換句話就是問X和前面觀點的關(guān)系。
針對功能題的三步解題攻略:1.找音頻中的觀點(比較概括又貼合主旨的句子)2.(舉例關(guān)鍵詞提示你開始舉例),聽例子的內(nèi)容,不要狂記筆記!!!3.判斷例子和觀點的關(guān)系。
筆記則為:
觀點:XXX
↑(支持或反對觀點)
e.g. ~~(簡記哦)
一般在舉例,類比,有特殊語氣的地方經(jīng)常容易出此類題目。文章為了說明一種現(xiàn)象,會加上一個例子去解釋,從出題者的角度出發(fā),我們可以看出來,通常 idea 和 example 是捆綁說明的,如果想明確這個example的作用,自然要理解與之捆綁的idea是什么。托福聽力的特點是“先聽文章后看見題”,需要考生在聽的過程當中,對出題點進行預(yù)判斷。所以,如果在原文中聽到一個example,建議注意聽與之相匹配的idea。做題時,選項中的正確選項通常會是原文的同意轉(zhuǎn)換,而錯誤選項很容易出現(xiàn)原文原詞的陷阱,所以建議通讀整個選項句子的意思,不要因為有的選項有原文原詞就選。此類題目一定要多注意context語境,看所問內(nèi)容在原文中的語境功能,有時即使沒聽明白,但是知道在語境中的功能,還是可以做對題的。
下面我們來看一道例題:TPO 17 L4
Why does the professor first mention Proteus?
A. To explain how the octopus got its scientific name.
B. To introduce the octopus’ exceptional abilities.
C. To point out that the octopus played an important role in Greek mythology.
D. To provide an example of a mythological character that was part animal and part human.
聽力原文節(jié)選
Anyone ever heard of Proteous? Proteus was a God in Greek mythology who could change form. He could make himself look like a lion or a stone or a tree, anything you wanted, and he could go through a whole series of changes very quickly. Well, the octopus is the real world version of Proteus. Just like Proteus, the octopus can go through all kinds of incredible transformations.
解題
根據(jù)原文“Well, the octopus is the real world version of Proteus. Just like Proteus, the octopus can go through all kinds of incredible transformations.” 對應(yīng)答案B,用Proteus解釋了章魚超凡的變形能力。
以上就是關(guān)于托福聽力功能題的解題攻略介紹,簡單來說此類題型最重要的就是要找準例子與觀點的關(guān)系,明確說話人所舉例子或所說話語在篇章中承擔的功能,注意結(jié)合語境。
