每次雅思听力中出现一些答案和定位信息顺序调换的题让大家措手不及。
听力其实是视觉和听觉双重考验。
答案前置之所以有难度,主要因为看题时视觉指示的顺序和听录音时听觉指示的顺序发生了变化,导致大脑需要反应时间而错失答案,甚至干扰整体做题节奏。
首先我们需要知道即使出现答案前置,答案和定位信息的位移不会大幅度改变,一般都不超过一个句子。
那下面就一起来看看哪些情况容易出现答案前置吧。
情况一:出现介词
介词用法灵活,且位置在句中变化对语义的影响不大,但不留心就容易遗漏答案。
● 例1 - C7T1S4Q35
Wise men may have been trying to control wild animals with 35 _____.
视觉指令: 答案会在animals或其同义替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... use magic to control the animals ...
● 例2 - C6T4S2Q15
Will explain about arrangement for 15 _____ and fire exits.
视觉指令: 答案会在arrangement或其同义替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... he will also go through the security arrangement ...
总结:通过观察,我们发现例子中,预判空缺须填名词,且左侧都出现名词+介词的形式。遇到此类结构,需提前做好准备,有可能答案出现在定位信息之前。
情况二:所属格
所属格虽是基础语法,但结合前置考察也可能造成失分。
● 例1 - C12T5S3Q28
Why a famous person's 28 _____ is located in the library.
视觉指令: 答案会在a famous person或其指代对象/同义替换后出现。
录音原文: ... they've got the diary of a well-known politician ...
● 例2 - C12T5S1Q3
Visitors can walk in the farm's 3 _____ by the lake.
视觉指令: 答案会在farm或其同义替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... some very beautiful gardens along the side of the lake which also belong to the farm ...
总结:遇到空缺左侧出现所有格,如their, his, XXXX's 等,需提前准备,答案和定位信息可能偏移。
情况三:并列结构
并列结构前后词性一致,但也会出现顺序变化。
● 例1 - OGT4S4Q37
Sometimes had human-head masks with 37 _____ and a tattoo.
视觉指令: 答案会在masks或替换之后,但在tattoo或其同义替换之前。
录音原文: ... you can clearly see it has a tattoo and also a set of teeth ...
总结:遇到并列结构,留意前后词性一致,可通过调换并列结构的顺序造成答案位置的变更。
情况四:主被动转化
题干的主动和被动可以在录音中相互转化,结合动词的同义替换有可能漏掉答案。
● 例1 - C10T3S4Q40
Promotion Focus is good for jobs requiring 40 _____.
视觉指令: 题干主动语态,答案会在requiring或替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... where a lot of innovation is needed, a promotion focus is probably better ...
● 例2 - C12T5S1Q8
A 8 _____ (can be hired).
视觉指令: 题干被动语态,答案会是句子主语且在动词被动形式之前。
录音原文: ... I assume I can rent a helmet ...
总结:看到题干出现主动或被动语态,需要提示自己录音可能改变语态,同时加强动词同义替换的敏感度,再结合预判来进一步抓听。
情况五:定语从句
定语从句出现的答案前置的频率相对较高,但容易识别。
● 例1 - C9T2S1Q8
Priorities in choice of hall
To be with other students who are 8 _____
视觉指令: 答案会在students或其替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... I'd prefer a hall where there are other mature students ...
● 例2 - C12T5S4Q37
The word 'lazy' in this context refer to people who avoid doing tasks that are 37 _____.
视觉指令: 答案会在tasks或其替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... a rational determination not to carry out unnecessary tasks ...
● 例3 - C10T2S4Q37
Businesses may need to offer hours that are 37 _____, or the chance to work remotely ...
视觉指令: 答案会在hours或其替换之后出现。
录音原文: ... will attract and retain staff are traditional ones like flexible hours ...
总结:题干中含有定语从句,且所填答案为修饰性,提前做好准备,有可能答案位于名词定位之前。
情况六:对话角色
对话场景有时不仅需要关注回答者,也需要留意提问者提出的问题中是否出现了空缺所缺的内容。
● 例1 - C13T4S1Q6
Trainees go to 6 _____ one day per month.
视觉指令: 场景是Alex向他同学 Martha (女生)介绍一个项目,答案会由Alex所说。
录音原文:
Martha: Do you have to spend any time in college?
Alex: Yes, one day each month.
● 例2 - C13T2S1Q8
There is not always a 8 _____ with the group on these rides.
视觉指令: 场景是Jim向女顾客介绍汽车俱乐部,答案会由Jim所说。
录音原文:
Woman: And does each ride has a leader?
Jim: Sometimes, but not always. But you don't really need one.
总结:我们习惯用提问者的问题定位,回答者说的内容找答案。
对话中,提问者的问题可能已经包含答案,回答者只是确认,并未重复答案,因此不仅双方都需关注,且需留意提问者问题中和答案同词性的词,包括名词、形容词甚至动词。
以上就是答案前置的几类常见结构,希望对大家能有帮助。祝大家早日屠鸭成功!
