聽力中的多選題真的有這么難嗎?
請看下面一段音頻文字:
But how is that proof that the Sahara used to be a lot wetter? I mean the people who painted those hippos, well, couldn’t they have seen them on their travels?
Professor
Okay, in principle they could, Karl. But the rock paintings aren’t the only evidence. Beneath the Sahara are huge aquifers, basically a sea of fresh water, that’s perhaps a million years old filtered through rock layers. And…er…and then there is fossilized pollen, from low shrubs and grasses that once grew in the Sahara. In fact these plants still grow, er…but hundreds of miles away, in more vegetated areas. Anyway, it’s this fossilized pollen along with the aquifers and the rock paintings, these three things are all evidence that the Sahara was once much greener than it is today, that there were hippos and probably elephants and giraffes and so on.
此段音頻中學(xué)生提問,老師回答。
一般同學(xué)會在聽完后直接摘錄筆記詞 rock paiting,plants。有同學(xué)疑問為什么整段音頻這么多就只摘錄了這兩個詞記筆記。大多數(shù)同學(xué)的問題是聽的過程中不能很好的其中所蘊含的邏輯關(guān)系,將文字籠統(tǒng)的認為就是兩個核心一個rock painting 一個plants因為這兩個詞重復(fù)率比較高,完全執(zhí)行了一次機械的聽的過程。我們來細看文本分析會發(fā)現(xiàn)此段文字的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)非常清晰,如果我們能關(guān)注邏輯提示詞的話。
首先學(xué)生提問,那我們要記住關(guān)注的邏輯就是要從回答的句來看看問題有沒有得到解決。教授的回答句很籠統(tǒng)只是對學(xué)生的假設(shè)進行了贊同,贊同我們可以不用太關(guān)注,知道是贊同就可以了。當(dāng)?shù)轿恼碌牡诙湓?,but the rock paintings aren’t the only evidence我們就要給自己一個提示,這里要羅列兩個以上的東西,而托福聽力中多選題的題點對應(yīng)處往往就是在這樣的地方,所以我們圍繞rock painting這個點去聽,找到他的結(jié)束點。馬上聽到了第二個和rock painting不一樣的核心詞aquifers 如若不認識,先根據(jù)發(fā)音記錄下形狀,后面馬上聽到了兩次同位語解釋 sea和water,一樣可以理解,圍繞這三個詞聽完這個點,立馬出現(xiàn)了and,and then這樣的邏輯提示詞,預(yù)示第三個羅列內(nèi)容出現(xiàn)了,這個時候我們馬上記錄下pollen這個詞,然后圍繞pollen這個詞聽到這個核心的結(jié)束。然后老師用了anyway這個邏輯詞,采用It’s this A along with B and C的羅列句型將之前提到的三個證據(jù)再次以羅列的形式重復(fù)一遍,再加上these three things are all evidence這個點收掉整個學(xué)生所提的問題這個段落。
那我們這么分析了邏輯后,再來看下當(dāng)時所出的題目。
13.Not long ago, the Sahara had a different climate. What evidence does the professor mention to support this(3)
A. lAncient pollen
B. lBones from large animals
C. lRock paintings
D. lAgriculture in ancient Egypt
E. lUnderground water
所以從這段文字我們可以看出來,答案就是ACE我們再聽多選題的邏輯時如果能格外關(guān)注多選的邏輯提示,可以幫助我們輕而易舉的準確的拿下多選題。
