暗示题的问句常常是以特殊疑问词开头的特殊疑问句, 例如: what, why…
(一)
Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.
Professor: Lengthy digressions on the role of coffee in the empire and exile of Napoleon---one of the deposed emperor’s last requests was for coffee…
What does the professor mean when he says this?
A: Napoleon asked for coffee when he was deposed.
B: Napoleon was served a cup of coffee before his death.
C: Napoleon loved coffee even to the last minute of his life.
D: Napoleon was removed from the emperor’s seat because he drank too much coffee.
解析:
该段材料的大致意思是拿破仑临终前的最后请求竟然事要一杯咖啡, 教授的潜台词即是: 生命不息, 咖啡不止, 这位伟人当然是 “咖啡党”的忠实成员.
答案C 为正确选项.
答案A: 弄错了要咖啡的时间, 坚决排除.答案B: 拿破仑确实是喝了咖啡(也有可能要了没喝着), 但教授的暗示意思呢?挖掘 “言外之意”才是正理儿, 予以排除.
答案D: 拿破仑是因为咖啡喝太多才退位的吗?教授的话被完全曲解, 坚决排除.
该题正确选项应为C.
(二)
Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.
Professor: Although that’s a theoretical danger---none of our monkeys showed any untoward side effects---that could occur.
What does the professor imply?
A: In theory, the Parkinson’s patients could die from the injection of the virus.
B: The Parkinson’s patients injected with the virus may suffer from annoying symptoms but in reality such danger was not seen.
C: The monkeys in the research are healthier normal one.
D: Even though there is a potential danger, the research has to be continued.
解析:
该段材料的大致意思是: 教授说: 尽管试验中的猴子被注射后没有一只表现出令人不安的症状, 但是理论上(多巴胺分泌太多而导致病人危险的)可能性还是有的. 换一句话说, 这种可能性在现实生活中还没有表现出来, 现在有的只是一种潜在的危险.
在IBT听力中暗示题考察的就是考生对 “言外之意”的追查能力.但在做题时请注意不要goes too far, 谈话中没有暗示的部分要坚决予以排除.
分析答案A: 教授没有暗示病人会因此而 “死”, 不正确.
答案B 应为正确选项.
答案C: 离题三尺, 教授没有任何言语暗示试验猴比正常猴类更为健康.
答案D: 前半句正确, 后半句谬误. 虽然教授在其后的谈话中表示试验仍在继续, 但题干中的这句推导不出这个结论来.
该题的正确答案应为B.
(三)
Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.
Professor: With his book, Coffee: A Dark History, Anthony Wild is bound to make you think twice about your morning cup, and with good reason.
What does the professor imply?
A: It’s a good book to read when you get up in the morning.
B: It’s one of his favorite books.
C: It’s a book that everyone should read.
D: The book is likely to arouse your interests in the issues related to coffee.
解析:
本题是考察考生对morning cup 的理解. 美国人的习惯是早上起来就喝咖啡提神. 那么, 教授说, 如果你早上起来看了《咖啡的苦难史》这本书的话, 对于咖啡这种东西必会有理由多思考思考的.
潜台词即是: 这本书有可能点燃你对咖啡的深思.
答案A: 教授是让你思考咖啡的事儿, 而不是让你花费大好光阴进行晨读. 不正确.
答案B: 教授的话中没有显露他的偏好.不正确.
答案C: 显然教授的本意不会事让人人都来读这本书. 予以排除.
该题的正确答案应为D.
在做暗示题的时候要多多注意一些干扰选项, 比如过度判断, 完全扭曲或误判断谈话人的原意, 符合生活尝试但谈话人在段落中没有提及的知识, 对题干进行复述，没有挖掘话语中的“言外之意” 等等, 这些都要注意, 排除这些干扰的选项, 正确答案很容易就选出了.
