2012年PETS三級聽力難點精講(3)
十一、觀點態(tài)度題型
對話中對話者對他們談論的人或事持什么觀點或態(tài)度往往含而不露,考生只能根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容的關鍵詞、上下文甚至語氣、語調(diào)的內(nèi)涵意義并利用邏輯思維能力來進行判斷,才能對傳遞的信息進行比較深層次的理解。具體表達觀點、態(tài)度時,可能出現(xiàn)的模式有:間接表達式,不明說贊成或反對;反問否定式,常委婉地表示質(zhì)疑和反對;委婉謝絕式,先表示肯定、贊成、謝意等,隨后說出真實看法;看似否定實為肯定式,如why not, I can’t agree any more 等。
常見的提問方式有:
How does the man/woman feel about...?
What does the man/woman think of...?
What does the man/woman say about...?
What does the man/woman mean?
十二、地點方向題型
這種類型的考題主要考查學生對對話地點及人物去向的判斷。其中既有直接提問的,也有間接提問的。
常見的提問形式有:
Where does the conversation probably take place?
Where is the woman going?
Where are the two speakers?
在這類考題中,選項大部分是表示地點場所的名詞,同時需注意這些名詞前的介詞,如in a bank, in a dining-room, at the airport, at home, on the desk, on the floor等,這些介詞對判斷場所非常有幫助。另外,考生應集中注意力去捕捉那些“關鍵詞”,抓住了“關鍵詞”,做題就容易多了。以下是一些??嫉牡攸c及相關詞,也就是剛才提及的“關鍵詞”,需重點記憶:
學校(school):required course, elective course, quiz, professor, thesis, make-up, credits, master, dormitory, department, lecture, essay, bookshelf, application form, entrance.
