命题手法一:难词干扰 特征:常见于短对话。由于篇幅构不成难度,短对话中常出现生僻词、超纲词等,使考生费解。 攻略:难词都是浮云,与判断答案没有关系,换言之,听不懂可直接忽略。 例题:No.11 11. A) The serious accident may leave Anna paralyzed. B) The man happened to see Anna fall on her back. C) The injury will confine Anna to bed for quite a while. D) The doctors therapy has been very successful. 答案:C 原文:W: Did you hear that Anna needs to stay in bed for 4 weeks? M: Yeah. She injured her spine in a fall and a doctor told her to lie flat on her back for a month so it can mend. Q: What can we learn from the conversation? 考完后很多考生反映spine一词没听懂,它表示脊柱,确实较有难度。但是,解题的真正线索在于男生说的doctor told her to lie flat on her back for a month,意为:医生告诫她要卧床休息一个月,故C confine Anna to bed for quite a while(她得在病床上待一段时间)为正解。可见,spine这个词纯属打酱油,起作用无非是提升考生紧张指数,而与答案直接相关的语言内容倒是颇为简单。考虑听力总是英语考试中压力相对较大的部分,因此命题者通常不会安排听力题考超纲词理解,这种考题倒是阅读题中的常客。考生做听力题时要学会抓大放小,放弃个别听不懂的部分,多利用上下文的语义连贯性推测对话要旨。 |
