说到雅思听力中的时态问题,同学们可能会望而生畏。一个在中文中没有的概念,在英语里却有16种时态区别。对于这两种语言上的差别,看都看不过来,更不用说听了。不过大家也不用太过担心,在雅思听力当中的时态考点,只考3种区别,也就是过去,现在,将来3种时态。简单地说,考点就在于过去有的,现在已有,将来会有,大家只要把3种时态相关信号词掌握即可。
下面举两个例子
例1:剑桥真题8,test3, section 1的第9-10题。
Which TWO facilities inthe district of Devon Close are open to the public at the moment?
A. museum
B. concert hall
C. cinema
D. sports centre
E. swimming pool
当看到这个题干的时候,大家就应该注意到,题目的考点即时态,关键词at the moment也就是选择与现在相对应的选项。
录音原文如下:
Man: Whys that part of town sopopular?
Woman: Well, theres a bigscheme to improve the district, and itll soon have the best facilities formiles around。
Man: Whatsort of thing?
Woman: There is a big sportscenter under construction,which will be very impressivewhen its finished. In fact the swimming pools already opened ahead of schedule, and itsattracting a lot of people。
Man: Whatabout cinemas: are there are any in the area?
Woman: The only one closed down last year, and its now in the process of beingconverted into a film museum. The local people are trying to get a new cinema addedto the scheme。.
Man: I think I hear somethingabout a plan to replace the
existing concert hall with a larger one。
Woman: Ah,thats due to start next year。
加粗部分就是相关的时间考点词,如果注意到考点词,大家可以很容易地把过去有的和将来会有的选项排除,选择现在已有的B,E选项。
例2:剑桥真题8, Test 2, section 3, Question 21
Where in Australia have Asian honey beesbeen found in the past?
A. Queensland
B. New South Wales
C. Severl states
观察题干,大家可以发现时态考点词in the past,即所选答案应该是对应过去有的。
录音原文:
Anyway, my current research involves trying to find aparticular type of bee, the Asian Honey Bee, and finding out whether there areany of them around in various states of Australia. We discovered a few ofthem in Queensland once and eradicated them. Now, were pretty keen to makesure that there arent any more getting in, particularly to New South Wales and other states。
注意听once和 Now 这两个信号词,就很容易把正确答案Queensland,即A选项听出来。 把混淆信息New South Wales and other states即 B,C选项排除
通过这个两个例子,大家也应该注意到,不论是第一部分还是第三部分,不论生活场景还是学术场景,时态都作为一重要考点。而区分时态,不需要太过纠结于动词变化上的一些细节,比如到底是 did, 还是 had done, 还是has done。因为一个具体动词的词尾变化,或者had, has 这样的助动词,在念的过程都可能弱化,导致听不到答案。大家更应该注意的是将中英文融会贯通,主动去听像我们中文表达中的一些表示时间的状语,比如now, past, future, last,next等,和描述事物存在性的形容词,比如 used, existing等。希望大家在做题的时候能多多积累整理,攻克雅思听力中的时态关!
