大家都知道， 在托福听力中 ，得听力细节者得天下。 而细节又有很多，那么今天我们一起去看一个非常重要的细节考点。

在讲座中，因为教授有时会用一些具有震撼意义的结构或者句子表示他所想要强调的内容，这个考点就是强调！强调分为语音强调和语义强调。今天， 先为大家来简单介绍一下语义强调即：词义和句意。

TPO15-23中的语义强调

需要注意的是，信号词是提醒我们重要的内容即考点要出现了。

接下来要做的是明确强调内容出现的位置， 是在信号词的前面还是后面，我们来一起看下做题步骤：

T18L1 Sunspot 中的第四题

What was the importance of Schwabe’s observations? 

 ● They determined the age of sunspots.

 ● They established that sunspots appear in cycles. 

 ● They proved that sunspots were actually on the Sun.

 ● They showed the reason that sunspots change their shape.

译：(Then in 1843, an astronomer named Heinrich Schwabe made an interesting claim……)But there was evidence that the number of sunspots increased and decreased in a pattern, a pattern that began repeating after ten years. And that was a huge breakthrough.

解析：不难发现， 这篇的信号词是之前给过大家的， 那么还要注意的是根据做题步骤，这题的强调内容是在信号词的前面，用特定笔记符号标注强调内容即可。

T19L4.3

What does the professor say was an important discovery in linguistics?

A Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin had the same parent language

B Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin borrowed words from each other

C Proto-Indo-European was not a real language

D Most languages have several sister languages

Tips:Proto-Indo-European：“原始印欧语系”

译：These languages had so many similarities that it was concluded that they must have all come from the same source. And talk about important discoveries in linguistics, this was certainly one of them.

解析： 这题的词义强调是important，和之前那题一样，强调出现也是在信号词前面，为什么连出两题都是在前面呢， 因为真考也偏向于出这种，对于同学们的听辨和做题要求更高了
