托福听力：段子练习之地理冒险

Good morning, class. Before we begin today, I would like to address an issue that one of you reminded me of after the last lecture. As you may recall, last time I mentioned that Robert E. Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole. What I neglected to mention was the controversy around Peary’s pioneering accomplishment. In 1910, a committee of the national geographical society examined Commodore Peary’s claim to have reached the North Pole on April 6th’ 1909 and found no reason to doubt him. This judgment was actually confirmed by a committee of the US congress in 1911. Nevertheless, Peary’s claim was surrounded by controversy. Tins was largely due to the competing claim of Doctor Frederic Cook who told the world he had reached the Pole a four-year earlier. Over the decades Peary was given the benefit of the doubt, but critics persisted in raising questions about his navigation and the distances he claimed to have covered. So the Navigation Foundation spent an additional 12 months of exhaustive examination of documents relating to Peary’s polar expedition. The documents supposed Peary’s claims about the distances he covered. After also conducting an extensive computer analysis of photos taken by Peary at the pole, they concluded that Pierre and his companions did in fact reach the near vicinity of the North Pole on April 6th. 1909. OK, today we’re going to talk about exploration of the opposite end of the world, I assume you all read chapter 3 in our text and are now familiar with the names: Emerson and Scott.

托福听力：逆向搜索的方法

(1)打开托福听力磁带听Direction,在这一时间里,考试中心不让你看选项。

(2)当Direction叫你turn the page时，快速看题目的四个选项。你可能只有1至2秒的时间，但尽量搜索那些在4个选项中重复出现的词，诸如名字，地点等等。这将在你听到这些单词的时候对你有所帮助。你甚至可能通过这些反复出现的名词和动词猜出对话的主题。

(3)当听力对话开始的时候，立即停止看试题，集中精神听题。

(4)当问题问完以后，再读一边四个选项，选出你的答案。如果你无法马上做出答案。尽量排除一些选项。然后从剩下的选项中选一个。

(5)快速仔细的涂答题纸。马上回到第2步，看下一题的四个选项。

以下是其中一个例题分析：

1999年1月托福听力部分短对话第19题

(A) Meet her in the auditorium.

(B) Schedule the meeting for a different time.

(C) Reserve a large room for the meeting.

(D) Cancel the meeting.

迅速搜索4个选项后，我们发现单词meeting在其中3个选项中重复，而在选项A中出现了与meeting形似意异的动词meet。仅从这4个选项，未听对话之前，我们可以得出两个结论：首先，对话的内容肯定与meeting有关;其次，选项A肯定不对，因为它与其它3个选项差别太大。

然后，我们看B，C和D中最大的差别在于动词schedule，reserve和cancel。也就是说，在判定对话内容与meeting有关后，在对话真正开始时，我们应该关注与meeting有关的动词。

接着，我们听到如下的对话与问题：

M: Do you know if Sarah has reserved the room for the committee meeting yet?

W: No. But if she has not we should have her try to get it at the auditorium. We will need the space.

What does the woman want Sarah to do?

对话中出现了一个你可能不熟悉的词Sarah，但是女音(W)里的代词和问题明显地提示了Sarah是个女人。对话里的男音(M)中出现的动词 reserve与选项C相同，而且女音(W)中出现了need the space。所以听完对话和问题后，我们可以肯定C是正确答案。

通过例题分析就说明托福听力技巧-逆向搜索法的好处：

(1)你能搜索到关于听力对话内容的线索。

(2)你能运用你的阅读能力和归纳能力来加强你的听力能力。

(3)当你猜到一道题目的主题的时候，你会少一些紧张和焦虑，这将帮助你关注你所需要听到的信息。
