出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)托??荚嚈谀空\心為廣大考生提供“談一談托福聽力觀點(diǎn)題的出題思路有哪些”,下面就跟著小編一起來看看吧!
觀點(diǎn)題的提問方式大家應(yīng)該非常熟悉了。例如,
what is the professor’s opinion toward...?
How does the speaker feel about sth?
What is the speaker’s attitude ?
而它的出題思路大致可分為兩種:
(A) 為在文中直接表明觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度
1. 例如通過語音語調(diào)判斷(上揚(yáng)表示情緒驚訝,下降通常表示懷疑態(tài)度);我們來看一道例題(TPO 22/L4, 有女生插問到professor對于”樂器僅僅為了覆蓋電影放映機(jī)的聲音而存在”這一情況的態(tài)度(問答環(huán)節(jié)一般都是聽力題目的出題點(diǎn)), professor 在原文中有明顯的語調(diào)下降,甚至有點(diǎn)對于這一說法有點(diǎn)蔑視,即刻便說了Too bad it keeps getting printed as if it were the only reason music was used. Well, think about it… “too bad”亦體現(xiàn)出professor 的否認(rèn)質(zhì)疑態(tài)度,因此答案選的是He doubts that it can fully explain why music was played.
2. 通過形容詞判斷。如:
肯定態(tài)度(positive): favorable, approval, enthusiastic , supportive
否定態(tài)度(negative): disapproval, dissatisfied, objection, opposition, critical, compromising, concerned
懷疑態(tài)度(doubtful): suspicious, incredulous, skeptical, questionable
客觀態(tài)度(objective): neutral, impartial, disinterested, unprejudiced, unbiased, detached
例如TPO23/L1中問及professor 對于Antikythera Mechanism 年齡的態(tài)度。Professor 在原文提到 the evidence makes an absolute case that this device dates back to ancient Greece somewhere between 150 and 100 B.C.E.后面在轉(zhuǎn)折詞but 后繼續(xù)提到the physical evidence is conclusive. 也就是”absolutely, conclusive “這些詞都體現(xiàn)出作者對于它的年齡分析是肯定的。當(dāng)然professor在陳述這些情況的時候語音語調(diào)有明顯的升華,(暗示著大家這是一個出題點(diǎn),速記的時候要有敏感度)。 因此答案選的即是She is confident that the dating is accurate.
(B) 間接表示觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。
有的時候,說話人會通過委婉的方式表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),目的是為了體現(xiàn)出自己的觀點(diǎn)顯得更加公允,不偏激。這種觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度一般是通過迂回的句型表現(xiàn)出來。例如,(TPO24/L1)
What is the professor's opinion about the television program that she mentions?
She is concerned about the accuracy of some of the information the experts provided.
She is hopeful that the class will be able to discuss it.
She thinks it was overly critical of some recent theories about crocodiles.
She is surprised that it did not include more examples of crocodile communication
從前面幾句話來看,professor 覺得電視中關(guān)于鱷魚的節(jié)目是有點(diǎn)意思的。但是之后她的語氣有明顯的停頓(暗示出題點(diǎn)),并在轉(zhuǎn)折之后表示希望同學(xué)們仔細(xì)點(diǎn),犀利一些,想想這些節(jié)目從哪兒找來的專家。體現(xiàn)出professor 對這些節(jié)目的質(zhì)疑,因此答案是A選項(xiàng),值得注意的是,此題中的C選項(xiàng)雖然有critical 這個詞,但是它的意思是指“電視節(jié)目過于critical了,有悖于原文的意思,不能選。
又如對話中:
Professor : I don’t think you should start with the case study too early unless you have made full preparation or you might find you can’t meet the deadline. However, it really is the best approach you can try to get people’s response though it is somewhat time-consuming. If you think you can spare your study time, just go for it.
表面上看來,說話人是持否定觀點(diǎn)。但轉(zhuǎn)折詞however的出現(xiàn)意味著語言重心的轉(zhuǎn)變. It really is the best approach 就是個大轉(zhuǎn)折, 說明說話人實(shí)際上是持支持態(tài)度。
