4?從提問方式看考查重點(diǎn)

(1)信息比較題:這樣的題目需要多處信息的理解,通常較難。這樣的題目大約占了四分之一。近幾年的提問方式如下:

Parcel Express needs the following details about the sender EXCEPT
Mark used to wear all the following EXCEPT
The following details are true about the new device EXCEPT
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the woman?
Which of the following is NOT needed for the Lost Property Form?
Which of the following details about the changing rooms is NOT correct?
Which of the following details is NOT correct?
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

這樣的題目中題干通常包含EXCEPT或者具有否定意義的單詞,如NOT,INCORRECT等。解題過程中,考生可以從題干中抓住關(guān)鍵詞如“wear”,“changing rooms”等,但是有些題目沒有關(guān)鍵詞可取,僅從題干和選項(xiàng)很難判斷命題人員的意圖,考生只有在聽的過程中多加留意了。

例題4(2007年真題)
O: Yes, well, we want to attract people to our club. Now, here are the changing rooms, with?showers and lockers for your clothes and things. Obviously you don’t have to leave your
clothes in the lockers, but we strongly advise you to; it’s much safer.
M: How much do the lockers cost?
O: Twenty cents, but you get the coin back when you take your things out. Right. And the tennis?courts are round here to the left.

Question: Which of the following details about the changing rooms is NOT correct?
A. There is a charge for the use of the locker.
B. Showers are installed in the changing rooms.
C. Lockers are located in the changing rooms.
D. Lockers are used to store personal belongings.

解析:A。此題考查對網(wǎng)球俱樂部更衣室相關(guān)信息的理解。題干出現(xiàn)否定,加大題目難度,同時解題所需信息的跨度加大,涉及多個句子。

(2)原因目的題:近幾年的考題中,主要以表原因的單詞來提問,如for,because,because of,why等。通常的提問方式有:

Parcels must be left open mainly for
Maggie fi nally decided to go to see a fi lm because
Why didn’t Bill want one of them?
Mr. Robinson worked for the Indian Government because of
Mr. Brown brought with him only a few things because

這樣的提問方式屬于推理題,考生可以從題干中提煉關(guān)鍵詞,在聽的過程中關(guān)注聽力錄音中出現(xiàn)的單詞是否和題干中的關(guān)鍵詞吻合,從而獲取答案。

例題5(2008年真題)
Mr.Brown (B): Yes, nurse. I think so. I followed the hospital’s advice and I’ve only brought?a few belongings with me.
N: Good, you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that: the cupboard is really?very small.

Question: Mr. Brown brought with him only a few things because
A. there wasn’t enough space in the cupboard.
B. the hospital would provide him with everything.
C. he was to stay there for a very short time.
D. visitors could bring him other things.

解析:A。這是一則關(guān)于住院時病人和醫(yī)護(hù)人員之間的談話節(jié)選。題干中表原因的“because”和聽力錄音中的“the reasons”對應(yīng)。此外,題干中的關(guān)鍵單詞“brought with”,“ a few?things”和對話錄音中的單詞“only brought a few belongings with”吻合,而且答案關(guān)鍵詞“wasn’t enough space”也是聽力錄音中關(guān)鍵詞“very small”的轉(zhuǎn)換。

(3)地點(diǎn)方位題:這樣的題目考查對話細(xì)節(jié),通常以“where”提問。近幾年的提問方式有:

Where is the meeting for new students to be held?
Where did they plan to meet?
From the conversation we know that Mark Adams comes from
Their meeting will probably take place in?

例題6(2010年真題)
B: Oh that’s terrible! How did you lose your briefcase?
A: Well, as you know, I was with my client at a meeting all morning and we had lunch together.?After lunch I went shopping and when I wanted to buy something I couldn’t fi nd my checkbook.?Then I remembered that it was in my briefcase and my briefcase was in my car.

Question: Where was Mary the whole morning?
A. At the police station. B. At a meeting.
C. In her client’s offi ce. D. In the restaurant.

解析:對話節(jié)選講公文包如何弄丟了,考查問題是Mary早晨在做什么。解答的關(guān)鍵是留意話語標(biāo)記語,如“Well, as you know”,常常伴隨停頓,后面的信息往往比較重要。

(4)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題:這樣的題目通常無需拐彎抹角,聽到什么就是什么,重在考查考生對信息的獲取能力和理解。這樣的題目大約占五分之一左右。近幾年的提問方式有:

The woman’s last inquiry is mainly concerned with
Members of the club are required to
According to the club’s rules, members can play
After Mr. Robinson returned from India, he
According to the woman, advertisements
In the woman’s opinion, money spent on advertisements is paid
Which personal detail does the man give?
What is the main purpose of the research?

例題7(2007年真題)
Offi cial: Right. This is the tennis club reception area. As a member you don’t have to register?when you arrive, but you must remember to register your guests, and you must be able?to produce your membership card if a club offi cial asks to see it.

Question: Members of the club are required to
A. register when they arrive. B. bring up to three guests.
C. register their guests. D. show membership cards on arrival.

解析:C 這是一則關(guān)于網(wǎng)球俱樂部咨詢的對話節(jié)選。正確答案中關(guān)鍵詞“register guest”和聽力錄音吻合,而且正確答案位于轉(zhuǎn)折連詞“but”后,起到提示作用。

(5)時間題:時間題屬于事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題的一種,但是考試經(jīng)常會考查關(guān)鍵時間信息的獲取,所以我們單獨(dú)列出。常見的提問方式有:
On which day does the couple always go out?
When is Eric calling back?
When is Anne available for the meeting?
According to the hospital rules, at which of the following hours can visitors see patients?

例題8(2009年真題)
M: Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from Country Holidays. I wonder if you could do some?catering for us next week. We’re having a small reception. It’s to launch our summer holiday?advertising campaign. Would you be free?
W: When exactly is it, Mr. Smith?
M: Apr.21st. That’s Thursday. Oh, sorry, no. It should be Friday.
W: Oh, yes, I can do that. Where will you be holding it?

Question: When will the lunch be held?
A. Friday next week. B. Thursday next week.
C. April 30th. D. This week.

解析:對話節(jié)選部分涉及打電話的目的和時間安排,考查的問題是午餐的具體時間。從選項(xiàng)來看,C屬于具體時間,而其他三項(xiàng)不具體,所以不應(yīng)該選C;A和B都指下周,只是關(guān)鍵詞有點(diǎn)差別,應(yīng)該是備選項(xiàng)。
