技巧
细节题应该是托福听力当中范围最广的一个题型概括了,除了主旨题,重听题,其它都可以概括在细节题的范围内,所以它的分类也特别多。今天我们先来看其中的一种,由形容词/副词引导的细节题。形容词有哪些?
比如:
interesting/interestingly,important/importantly
essential/essentially等等。
文本
FEMALE STUDENT: Actually, I asked the custodian yesterday to take a look. But he said he couldn't find anything wrong. He said that some of the other rooms have lost heat also and that if we'd come here you guys would fix it.
MALE UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE: Oh, he did? That's weird, because I would have...well, the custodians themselves are usually supposed to report any problems right away. (那就奇怪了,因为我们应该会...管理人员理当立刻和我们报告发现的问题。)
分析:当我们在听到weird(奇怪的)这个形容词的时候就要引起注意,觉得奇怪,考点就会放在怪在哪里。所以我们在做笔记的时候,如果能把两者都记下来那自然是最好的,但是如果不能同时记下来,我们首 选的是weird的内容,是什么让这个大学工作人员感到奇怪?根据后面一句的音频我们知道:管理人员理应立刻报告问题,但实际并没有这么做(即B选项所表达的意思,管理人员没有按照正确的流程)。记下来(report ×)之后可以做一个圈画的小标记作为出题点的暗示。
例2:According to the professor, what role does water play in the thermal depolymerization process?(托福听力真经5test8lecture3Q4)
A) It converts organic waste into liquid.
B) It reduces the amount of waste material that the process requires.
C) It reduces the amount of energy that the process requires.
D) It breaks apart materials at the molecular level.
●文本:
Water is an important ingredient because it reduces the amount of heat needed, which increases the efficiency of the process.(水是一个重要的成分,因为它减少了所需要的热量,提高了过程的效率。)
分析:important是形容词,所以当我们听到的时候就应该有一个警觉,后面一句话是考点,即减少热量,提高效率,那么我们也就可以非常直观地给出答案C选项(它减少了过程中所需要的能量。)
总结
形容词有很多,但是形容词所引导的细节题这一考点是不变的,所以当我们在对话或者演讲的音频中听到形容词时,就当立刻快速反应过来——细节题考点信号已经出现。锁定后面一个句子,抓出核心词汇即可找到正确答案。
