用20秒预测填空题
在雅思听力考试中,填空题至少会有30个。很多学生看到填空就发怵,原因有很多,比如单词不会写,不会听数字等等。如果听到单词了,但是不会写,或者是完全不会听数字,这是最基本的工作没有做。今天我要讲的不是怎么去打基础,而是一个很实用的考试技巧——利用20秒的读题时间预测要填空的词性。如果泛泛而谈大家也许不会明白我在说什么,现在举例说明。
例1
剑桥4,Test1, question12:The metal industry was established at Riverside Village by 12 who lived in the area.
一看到who,我们就知道空里要填一种人。所以,尽管你听到很多东西,或者听到很多单词你都不懂,不要害怕,你不用懂你听到的那些话在讲什么,你只用竖着耳朵听一种人,写下这种人就可以啦。
例1中,你会听到Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here, …显然,这一长句话中就出现了local craftmen是一种人,所以这就是答案。同样的方法去做剑桥3,Test2,question29: written by 29 who say candidates tend to be truthful.
