"5W"讓你提高英語四級六級聽力
例題1:CET-6,08年6月第14題:
A) The errors will be corrected soon.
B) The woman was mistaken herself.
C) The computing system is too complex
D) He has called the woman several times.
四個選項,分別告訴我們A:“這個錯誤很快會被糾正”;B:“這位女士自己錯了”;C:“計算機(jī)體系太復(fù)雜”;D:“他給這位女士打了好幾次電話”。顯而易見,最后一個選項是在敘述過程,只有前三個選項是結(jié)果,而這三個選項都透露了一個信息,就是原文一定提到了一個錯誤,B、C 在討論錯誤點,而A告訴了我們結(jié)果,我們的傾向選項應(yīng)該是A。
例題2:CET-6,05年1月第5題:
A. Janet loves the beautiful landscape of Australia very much.
B. Janet is very much interested in architecture.
C. Janet admires the Sydney Opera House very much.
D. Janet thinks it's a shame for anyone not to visit Australia.
四個選項,A:Janet喜歡澳大利亞的美景;B:Janet對建筑感興趣;C:Janet很向往悉尼歌劇院;D:Janet認(rèn)為如果人們不去悉尼是一件遺憾的事、從選項中,我們很容易得知,這個對話中的主角是個叫Janet的人,想要傳達(dá)的信息是對悉尼的感受,那么真正表示結(jié)果的是A、B、C三項,同時C剛好是A、B的交集,故而傾向選C。
例題3:看一個四級的例子,02年12月第10題:
A) She is tired of driving in heavy traffic.
B) She doesn't mind it as the road conditions are good.
C) She is unhappy to have to drive such a long way every day.
D) She enjoys it because she's good at driving.
馬上能判斷出來,對話針對的對象是she,也是我們聽題的重點,有了說話人信息,看看what是關(guān)于什么的呢?A:交通太堵,她不想開車;B:由于路況 不錯,她覺得無所謂(馬上判斷這個無所謂的對象應(yīng)該是開車);C:她很不爽是因為每天開車走很長的一段路;D:她喜歡是因為她很擅長開車。在傳播過程中, 四個選項中,都在陳述一件事,就是她喜不喜歡開車這件事。A、B都與路況有關(guān)的,A、C在傳達(dá)一種負(fù)情緒,而剩下兩個選項是正情緒。這個時候,我們無法憑 空猜一個答案,但是,卻對這道題中涉及到的問題已然掌握得差不多了。這時再去聽原文,正確率必然大大增加。
例題4:再看一個06年6月長對話的例子:
19. A) To make a business report to the woman.
B) To be interviewed for a job in the woman's company.
C) To resign from his position in the woman's company.
D) To exchange stock market information with the woman.
20. A) He is head of a small trading company.
B) He works in an international insurance company.
C) He leads s team of brokers in a big company.
D) He is a public relations officer in a small company.
21. A) The woman thinks Mr. Saunders is asking for more than they can offer.
B) Mr. Saunders will share one third of the woman's responsibilities.
C) Mr. Saunders believes that he deserves more paid vacations.
D) The woman seems to be satisfied with Mr. Saunders' past experience.
我們看這三個選項,由第21題,能夠大致推斷Mr. Saunders在應(yīng)聘The woman的公司的職位。
這樣,19題即可得出B這個正確選項,也就是有了傳播的相應(yīng)五元素,我們可以自由的思考,甚至在沒有聽原文的情況下就可以選擇出正確的答案。
例題5: CET-4,04年6月的復(fù)合式聽寫:
Today, three buildings hold the library’s collection. (S9) It buys some of its books and gets others as gifts.
S9 空需要填寫一個句子,那么由結(jié)果(effect)我們能輕松看出,前面講的是三座大樓擁有這個圖書館的館藏,S9,圖書館一些書是買的,一些書是別 人贈送的。結(jié)果傳達(dá)的是一個重要信息,S9需要的是和圖書館的書怎么樣的內(nèi)容,有了圖書館書的分布,有了圖書館書的來源,中間缺少的應(yīng)該就是圖書館圖書的 去向問題,分析到這個地方,我們句子的主謂賓成分就全了,進(jìn)而再分析,狀語成分——去到什么地方,文章通篇討論美國國會圖書館,那么圖書借書的目的地就比 較豐富,可以是美國國會(the US Congress),可以是政府(government),也可以是其他美國圖書館(other American libr,aries)和國外圖書館(foreign libraries),這個句子就很好整理成:
The library provides books and materials to the US Congress and also lends books to other American libraries, government agencies and foreign libraries.
