托业听力技巧questions and responses.docx

应答问题这部分是四个听力单元中唯一纯粹考“听”的能力的单元。它的每题选项只有三个，问题及选项皆不出现在试题本里，应试者既不需要看图，更没有阅读之处。解题的关键在于辨识其中的关键字词,这样才不需花费太多脑力，又能提高正确率。解题技巧：1 .预设可能答案(Think about possible answers in advance)平时做题目，练习举一反三，听到问题时预先想可能的回答。例： When is the meeting going to take place?看到When,便可先预想答案必定与“时间”有关，所以你可以期待标准答案会提到日期或时刻。看下列选项：a) I think the meat is too raw.b) It will happen on October 7th.c) Chicago is a nice place to live.2.题目听到的，答案不要选(Don't be fooled by what youhear)托业听力喜欢运用同音、近音、一字多义等来混淆判断，这部分也不例外。但这部分的题目与答案都简洁有力，因此只要答案选项中听到与题目相同或相近的字，有九成概率不会是正确答案。这种答题技巧在你听不懂整句大意时是非常有帮助的。以上题为例：When is the meeting going to take place?d) I think the meat is too raw.e) It will happen on October 7th.f) Chicago is a nice place to live.选项a中的meat与meeting的变化词meet同音，目的在混淆你的判断，不是答案。而选项c中的place重复问题中的take place,也不是答案。3.比对答案(Bonus: Absolutely right answers)以下为送分的选项，若出现你不用思考就可以选。分类如下:3.1 表示“不确定性/不清楚”的答案彳列：I'm not sure. /1 don't know. /1 have no idea.Let me think about it.B eats me问倒我了。3.2 表示“作确认/查询”的答案例：Let mecheck.我查查看。Let me ask someone.我问一下别人。3.3 表示“遗忘”的答案例：I forgot.试想如果某甲不论询问确切资讯、想法、感受、原因，甚至只是单纯陈述自己的想法或建议，而某乙若回答不知道、不清楚，或表示忘记了，是不是在逻辑上都说得通？因此，凡是含有上述句型的“模糊回答"(vague answer)便成为一定可以选的答案。当然，答案不一定跟上述例句完全一样，可能的变化如下：1)主语非I,而是其他代名词，如I： he/she/we/they等2)动词时态改变,如：I don't know. -> I didn5t know.3)答案也极有可能延伸，加入其他补充元素。如：Q: What is Mr. Brown's address?A: I'm not sure if I have it.
