剑桥雅思真题点拨:题型为section3常考察的长难单选题,审题压力较大,注意尽量在前两个section挤些时间,运用到本section的审题上。内容为section3高频考察的讨论类话题,本文是两个学生关于一篇学术文章的讨论。
雅思听力单选题答题要点:
1)审题
1.1)题干主,选项辅,两者都要看。
1.2)题干关键词以专有名词为主,动词、名词其次,其他信息略看。
1.3)随看随口翻译,加深印象
2)定位答案句
2.1)几道题对应几句答案句,其余为过渡信息。
2.2)转折(but/however/while/though/although/otherwise/whereas),事实(the fact is, the truth is , actually, as a matter of fact, frankly),强调(the main XX is, it is mainly about, XX is very important/significant/central/essential/crucial)之后的信息往往与答案直接相关。
2.3)语速放慢,语调加重,升调疑问的地方往往为出题点。
3)排除错误选项
如果定位答案句失败,可以通过排除法来解答题目,常用来排除干扰选项的引导词有
Rather than/Instead of
Unlike
Plan/intend to do, be about to do
Thought
Some people think/believe
Not ...
4)答案句与选项的同意/近义转化
4.1)词义相近,如characteristic与feature,statistic与data
4.2)句意相近,并为出现近义词,但是句意表述内容相近。如:it just takes ages to go from one screen to the next, 对应the computer is very slow。
