具体地说,我们在听力部分利用介词时主要体现在两个环节上,第一是审题,第二是听题。当我们在做雅思听力题目之前审题的时候,我们通常都先会找名词、形容词、动词来做关键词,事实上部分介词也可以给我们审题带来很大的帮助。从而,在考生听录音找答案的过程中,就可以更有把握地根据预审的内容来对信息进行定位,找到正确答案。
一、单个介词

4、方式与手段:
剑桥6 test 3 Q35

注意: 这道题by前面的单词是pulled过去分词形式,审题是判断by后面需要填写人的身份或是机构名称,也可能是具体的方式,比如:
Confirmation written by答案:e-mail
剑桥7 test 1 Q35
Wise men may have been trying to control wild animals with. 答案:magic
注意:本部分的介词雅思考官会在录音中进行替换卷面上所看到的介词不会在录音中出现。比如第二题,考生重点听的是用什么方法来控制野生动物,正如录音所说:they believe they could use magic to control animals.
二、介词短语
真题演练:
1、剑桥 2 test 4 Q10
Workman to call between .and.. 答案:1pm 5pm
2、剑桥 2 test 2 Q15
Students need a front door key between and.. 答案:8pm 7am
注意:betweenand.在听力录音中会被换掉,简单地替换一般是from ..to,但考官会采取较难的替换方式。比如上述第一题的录音内容是:
AGENT: Well, you tell us your preferred times?
PAUL: The best time is about 1.00.
AGENT: I have to check that with him. And if he cant make it then, what would be your second preference?
PAUL: Any time up to 5pm would be fine.
第二题的录音内容是:
To the front door which you have just come through here from the street. This door is closed and locked at 8pm every night and opened again at 7am.you will need your key if you are coming back to the college between those times.
我们从录音的内容中可以看出,听力考官对录音做了很大的改动。但是站在做题的角度上,考生只需要知道这个题要填写的是时间,并且填写时间的顺序要和原文一致,不可颠倒就可以了。一句话,考官考察什么,考生听什么。
3.剑桥5 test 5 Q24
Listening to British students language because of: normal speed large amount of
答案:slang
注意:本题目需要考生了解amount of 后面要填写不可数名词,以免因为单复数丢分。并要掌握此类的计量短语结构,比如:lots of ,a number of 等等,并理清楚单复数。
4、剑桥6 test 1 Q32

从made of 可以判断要填写某种材质 答案:metal ; leather
5、剑桥5 test 3 Q34
Glass designed to be utilized for. cannot be recycled with other types of glasses 答案:cooking
从上述的分类和实例中,我们可以看到介词在雅思听力中的重要性。考生在审题过程中应对介词加以重视,这样就会更进一步地看出试题的考点,提前有所准备。因此,自己在做题的过程中,才能更加准确地找到答案的准确位置,不会因为速度快没有反应过来,也不会受到录音中信息的干扰从而漏题,做错题最终导致失分。
