托福听力解题技巧有很多,其中有一种抓住听力考点词的技巧可能许多同学并没有听说过。这种技巧是什么?又该如何使用?下面小编就结合一些真题实例,为大家讲解托福听力抓住考点词的解题技巧。
听力考点词是在听力理解的每一道题目中,命题者所设计的最重要的原文与题目中重叠使用的词语。当然,这里的重叠包括原词重现,同义替换,反义词驳斥等现象;根据表述内容,也可以解读为原词重现,句式类重现,抽象概念具体表述和推测表述重现等。在听力过程中,如果考生可以识别及记录原文考点词的表述含义,即可轻松在选项中找到明确答案,反之,则题目应答无法完成。下面举例说明听力考点词的重要和强大,ETS发布的TOEFL Practice Online(TPO)第23套练习中,可以看到,在Conversation 1中第5题的命题考点与TPO 4中Lecture 4第5题的考点词设计一致,对比如下:【TPO 4 Lecture 4 Question 5】答案选项:Even artists do not agree on whether the government should support the arts.原 文:The arguments both for and against government funding of the arts are as many and as varied as the individual styles of the artists who hold them.【TPO 23 Conversation 1 Question 5】答案选项:To assure the man that the event has the support of the French department.原 文:But the French Department is funding this, on the condition that we do all the legwork.
