托福听力的一大特点或者说难点在于听力音频素材一遍就过,考生缺乏反复研究的先决条件。这就要求大家必须把握好每个信息点来进行解题。下面小编就为大家实例讲解托福听力中通过题干关键词定位答案的高效解题技巧。
通过题干关键词定位答案托福听力是先听音再看题,因此我们要根据题干关键词,定位回我们自己的笔记、或者定位回我们对听力材料的记忆来找答案。这样的做法同样适用于组织结构题,要想把组织结构题作对首先要在听音过程中注意教授所作的比较 ; 第二要看当教授提到一些看似离题的内容时,考生要明确教授想表达的观点是什么。在托福听力的组织结构题中经常利用一个例子进行考察,考察为什么要提到某个例子。给大家举个例子:
TPO11 lecture 2
Why does the woman refer to visiting her grandparents?
A. To explain why she is interested in residential architecture
B. To explain why she knows a lot about the history of Cape Cod
C. To explain why she is familiar with Cape Cod houses
D. To explain why she enjoys visiting rural New England
本道题目所对应的原文为:Professor: Good! Of course for a Cape Cod house, it might be even more accurate to say that form also follows climate. Who knows what the climate ’ s like on Cape Cod?
Bob: Cold in the winter.
sue:and whenever I visit my grandparents, it ’ s really wet. It ’ s usually either raining or showing or foggy, and windy too,I guess because it's so exposed to the ocean?
通过学生与教授之间的一问一答,教授提的问题,仍然是与 Cape Cod houses 相关的话题。可以看出 sue 提到自己的 grandparents,it ’ s really wet 是为了例证自己的也知道 Cape Cod house,然后又通过后面 raining or showing or foggy, and windy,表明 sue 经历过这些天气,因此 sue 说到 grandparents 是为了说明自己对 Cape Cod houses 很熟悉。从本道题目中可以看出,女士说到的例子是为了证明自己的是了解和熟悉的。
