·句式变化
填空题的另外一大难点就是文字答案中读出来的信息和试卷上看到的材料并不完全一样,也就是我们所说的句式变化。不过这边提醒考生们要注意的是,即使文字答案和试卷不完全相同,但是意思是一致的,因此我们的解题可以基于这个思路来。
如剑6 Test 1 Section 4的第31题
Period |
Situation |
1st-4th centuries |
Produce from the area was used to 31………… the people of London. |
Tapescripts: ... Back in the 1st to the 4th centuries AD, when the Romans controlled England, London grew into a town of 45,000 people, and what's now the East End - the area by the river Thames, and along the road heading north-east from London to the coast - consisted of farmland with crops and livestock which helped tofeed that population.
这里我们会发现,尽管定位到答案句很容易,但是答案句较长,比较难听懂,很有可能在听力过程中失去方向而失分。这题需要在审题中注意的就是词性的预测。通过题目我们可以很快的发现这道题目需要填写动词,我们会发现在听力中仅仅听到了45,000 people和feed that population两句与后面的宾语(people)有关系,那么答案自然就是feed这个动词。
还是这篇里面的第36题
17th century | Marshes were drained to provide land that could be 36………… on. |
Tapescripts: In the 17th century, theEast Endwas still a series of separate, semi-rural settlements. There was a shortage of accommodation, so marshland was drained and built on to house the large number of people now living there.
根据词性的预测,这道题中built和living这2个答案都有可能,而许多同学都选择了最后一个听到的living,而导致失分。看完文字答案我们发现意思上living这个词语在这边是不通顺的。但是考试中几乎没有很多时间来分析听到的内容(这个根本不是阅读题)。另外一个很重要的信息我们就必须把握住——空前后词。该题的空后词是on,如果关注到了这个词语,前面的built也就比较容易听到了。
总体来说,无论听力中句式如何变化,意思上是不会变的,因此建议考生根据雅思的所听即所得原则,在审题的时候我们需要关注两个重点内容:猜(每空词性)和记(空前后词)。通过这两个信息就可以比较好的听出较难的填空题了。
