俗話說：知己知彼，百戰(zhàn)百勝。知道游戲規(guī)則，自然可以掌握游戲。托福聽力自然也是如此。

1.對(duì)話或講座的目的(purpose)意指其功能，是這個(gè)對(duì)話或講座發(fā)生的主要理由。

對(duì)話中，說話人的目的是與對(duì)話的話題、說話人之間的關(guān)系以及談話的背景相關(guān)的。

新托?？荚囍?，關(guān)于目的的試題形式如下：

Why does the student go to see the professor? What is the man's problem?

Why is the woman concerned?

What is the purpose of the conversation?

2.談話或講座的目的與主題相關(guān)。新托?？荚囍嘘P(guān)于目的的試題形式如下：

What is the purpose of the talk? ' i What is the main purpose of the lecture'l What is the speaker's main purpose?

3.有些關(guān)于目的的試題只與部分對(duì)話或講座的內(nèi)容相關(guān)。這些問題通常問的是某個(gè)短語(yǔ)或句子的作用：

Why does the student say _?

Why does the professor mention -?

Why does the instructor talk about . ? Why does the speaker tell a story about -? Why does the professor ask the class about _

4.有時(shí)考生可以再聽一次部分對(duì)話或講座的內(nèi)容。之后會(huì)聽到問題問及說話人的目的。例如：

Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. (You hear part oftbe lecture again.) : .

Why does the professor say this.

5. 下面是一些新托?？荚囍袑?duì)話或講座目的的例子：

To ask for advice

To answer a question

To compare two or more things To complain about something To define a term

To describe a process

To emphasize importance

To explain causes and effects

To give examples :

To give reasons

6.有時(shí)說話人會(huì)直接說出其目的：

“l(fā) need advice about my paper."

“I'm concerned about my grade for this class."

“I'm applying to graduate school,and l was wondering if you'd write me a

1 letter of recommendation.”

了解到以上規(guī)則，是否對(duì)聽力考試更加熟悉了呢？剩下來的事情就是操練啦！
