在上两讲中,专家重点介绍了雅思听力考试中的同义替换陷阱、出尔反尔陷阱以及关键词靠后陷阱,在这一讲中,我们会归纳出另外两种常见陷阱。
这类陷阱在雅思听力测试中经常使用,特别是在两人对话中出现频繁。一般是由一人提出操作方法让对方选择,对方在评价后作出决定。
特别注意:should do, decide on, vote for, best bet 等提出决定的用法,以及一些表示评价的形容词,这时要分清谁是做决定者,做决定的人的语气一般有一定提示作用。

Put notice in .
本题答案: Newsletter。
原文录音: JOAN: Where do you think I should put up the notice?
Where everyones guaranteed to see it.
PETER: On the caf notice board I should think.
JOAN: Hardly anyone looks at that.
PETER: Well, the Newsletter is probably your best bet.
JOAN: Good idea. Ill go and do that now.
破题密码: PETER本来想把通知贴在notice board上,但JOAN说几乎没有人看,用了hardly这个否定副词,推翻PETER的提议。接着用best bet 这个用法,最后确定用Newsletter。
否定暗示:hardly
肯定暗示:best bet

Name of design: .
本题答案: Blind Puzzle 。
原文录音: MARY COLLINS: What have called the design? Keep it short.
JOHN BROWN: What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped?
MARY COLLINS: Too long. Just say blind puzzle, thatll do.
JOHN BROWN: OK.
破题密码: MARY COLLINS询问设计名称,但提示:Keep it short。
但JOHN BROWN给出了jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped。很多考生听到这个答案马上晕了,但很明显,这个答案太长,超过一般填空题的规定字数,肯定不是雅思听力的正常答案,所以考生听到后无需惊慌。MARY COLLINS之后也说了Too long,意味着考生们还有一次机会。最后的答案只需填写Blind Puzzle。由于很多考生对这个词组不熟,所以本题失分率超过半数。
否定暗示: Too long.
肯定暗示:Just saythatll do

What is Brian going to do before the course starts?
A attend a class
B write a report
C read a book
本题答案: A。
原文录音: BRIAN:Is there anything I should do before the course, likereading or anything?
TUTOR: We prefer to integrate reading with the course, so we dont give out a reading list in advance. But we like people to write a case study, describing an organization they know.
BRIAN: Ive already done that, as my friends told me you wanted one. But would it be possible to sit in on a teaching session, to see what its like? I havent been a student for quite a while.
TUTOR: Fine. Just let me know which date, and Ill arrange it with the tutor.
破题密码: 本题是此类陷阱中讨论方式最复杂,难度系数最高的题目之一。
第一重机关:
刚开始BRIAN询问TUTOR是否有任务要做,是否需要看书,而TUTOR回答:希望把课程和看书结合在一起,we dont give out a reading list in advance所以答案C:read a book是错误的。但很多考生听到reading这个词,就激动地选择了答案C,很可惜。
第二重机关:
TUTOR后面提到了case study。但BRIAN说Ive already done that,由于问题是What is Brian going to do before the course starts?这意味着答案B:write a report是错误的,于是又有一部分同学中弹了。
第三重机关:
最后,BRIAN提出想sit in on a teaching session,而TUTOR说了Fine,表示肯定,意味着答案A:attend a class是正确答案。
朗阁海外考试研究中心分析发现本题的得分率非常低,做这类题目,就如同在跟着路标开车,回答问题就像是转了一个弯,如果被迫要连转两个或者多个弯,就有可能措手不及了。出题者这样煞费苦心地迷惑考生,真可谓是机关重重,所以考生必须针锋相对,学会披荆斩棘,才能最终得分。
否定暗示: dont give out in advance,
Ive already done that,
肯定暗示: Fine. Just let me know.

部分对应陷阱
雅思听力测试中为了增加难度,会连续给出几个干扰答案,但只有一个答案是对应这道题目的。所以,如果碰到数个信息连续轰炸,考生必须看清题目,排除干扰信息。
朗阁海外考试研究中心分析认为,这种陷阱常常出现在选择题的选项中,即出题人故意把录音中的部分信息,作为选项给出。要破解这个难题,无非是听懂整个句子,而不是仅靠几个单词的对应去判断。在此,告诫所有考生,千万不能听风就是雨。

Dans neighbour was successful in business because he
A employed carpenters from the area.
B was the most skilled craftsman in the town.
C found it easy to reach customers.
本题答案: C。
原文录音: My neighbours business was business was unusually successful, and for years I couldnt understand why. Then I realized having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius , so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as neighbour.
破题密码: 本题难度适中,但出现了很多干扰信息,平时如果只靠只字片语来判断答案,这类题目就很难拿分了。
题目:Dan的邻居在事业上很成功,是因为他
原文:Then I realized having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble.
答案C:found it easy to reach customers.与听力原文相符,所以答案C正确。
干扰信息: 答案A:employed carpenters from the area.
答案A中的carpenters 会在原文录音中听到,但原文中Other local carpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius译为:其他当地木匠只可以在方圆3公里内找到工作。根本没有提到雇佣,所以答案A错误。
答案B:was the most skilled craftsman in the town.答案B中的skilled会在原文录音中听到,但原文中so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as neighbour.译为:无论他们的手艺多么精湛,他们都不能和邻居做一样多的工作,与答案B中的意思相差很大,所以答案B错误。
