俗话说:知己知彼,百战百胜。知道游戏规则,自然可以掌握游戏。托福听力自然也是如此。
1.对话或讲座的目的(purpose)意指其功能,是这个对话或讲座发生的主要理由。
对话中,说话人的目的是与对话的话题、说话人之间的关系以及谈话的背景相关的。
新托福考试中,关于目的的试题形式如下:
Why does the student go to see the professor? What is the mans problem?
Why is the woman concerned?
What is the purpose of the conversation?
2.谈话或讲座的目的与主题相关。新托福考试中关于目的的试题形式如下:
What is the purpose of the talk? i What is the main purpose of the lecturel What is the speakers main purpose?
3.有些关于目的的试题只与部分对话或讲座的内容相关。这些问题通常问的是某个短语或句子的作用:
Why does the student say _?
Why does the professor mention -?
Why does the instructor talk about . ? Why does the speaker tell a story about -? Why does the professor ask the class about _
4.有时考生可以再听一次部分对话或讲座的内容。之后会听到问题问及说话人的目的。例如:
Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. (You hear part oftbe lecture again.) : .
Why does the professor say this.
5. 下面是一些新托福考试中对话或讲座目的的例子:
To ask for advice
To answer a question
To compare two or more things To complain about something To define a term
To describe a process
To emphasize importance
To explain causes and effects
To give examples :
To give reasons
To introduce a new concept
To recommend a course of action
6.有时说话人会直接说出其目的:
l need advice about my paper.
Im concerned about my grade for this class.
Im applying to graduate school,and l was wondering if youd write me a
1 letter of recommendation.
了解到以上规则,是否对听力考试更加熟悉了呢?剩下拉来的事情就是操练啦!
