同学们在学习雅思听力的过程中,在浩如烟海的参考书和模拟题的分析中,同义转换恐怕是出现频率最高的词之一了。那么,究竟什么是同义转换? 哪些地方会出现同义转换? 同义转换会以什么样的形式出现?
在这里,我们就以剑桥真题上的例题为例,让同学们对同义转换有一个清晰的了解与把握,从而扫除同义转换在雅思听力中给我们造成的障碍。
所谓同义转换,从科学意义解释,是指人的视觉和听觉将事物的信号传递给大脑,大脑将信号处理后,再转换与原信号意义相同的另类信号和指令。而在雅思听力中,原信号就是试卷上我们能够看到的信息,也就是题干,而转换过后的另类信号就是录音中出现的关键词和答案,我们的大脑需要做的,就是将原信号和转换后的另类信号进行识别和匹配,就像做搭配题一样。
在选择题中,同义转换随处可见。题干,正确选项和干扰项都有可能出现同义转换。尤其是选项中,无论是正确选项中还是干扰项中,都常常出现同义转换。
如剑7Test2 Section4中的Question32
题目
32 Anita feels that the findings on handedness will be of value in
A helping sportspeople identify their weaknesses
B aiding sportspeople as they plan tactics for each game
C developing suitable training programmes for sportspeople
原文
I think Matthews findings will be beneficial, not so much in helping sportspeople to work on their weaker side, but more that they can help them identify the most suitable strategies to use in a given game.
在听力原文中,题干里的be of value变成了be beneficial, tactics变成了strategies.
而正确答案B中的aid被替换成了help. 同时,对于干扰项A中的weaknesses这个单词,答案中也出现了一些相关的可互相替换的信息,如weaker side,但A选项的整体意思和听力原文中的表述不符,这也就是A选项的干扰点所在。
如剑7Test2 Section4中的Question31
题目
31 Anita first felt the Matthews article was of value when she realized
A how it would help her difficulties with left-handedness
B the relevance of connections he made with music
C the impressive size of his research project
原文
What Anita soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both observation and investigation he had done in many different sports.
听力原文中,the impressive size被替换成了the sheer volume,而关键词research project也被替换成了observation and investigation.
如剑6Test2 Section2中的Question14
14 The price of a first class ticket includes.
听力原文中,price被替换成了cost,而主动语态includes也被替换成了被动语态are included.
