托福听力重听题出题思路实例讲解 简单题型保分也要学技巧
重听题出题方式介绍
重听题意在考察考生能否理解说话人说这句话的原因,目的和态度,能否明白字面以外的意思。大致有两种典型的提问方式:
· What does the professor imply when he says about this?
· Why does the student say this?
另外,重听题的出题点常在文章明显语气变化处,或者话语转换处。
重听题解题思路实例分析
官方真题Official1-L4为例
Student: Oh, I see. At first I wasn’t sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I get it. It's the amount of time it takes for them to grow, right? So it would be five months?
Professor: Umm? Oh, uh… I’m sorry but no. It has nothing to do with that. Why does the professor say this
A. To inform the student that his definition is incorrect
B. To suggest that the student did not do the reading
C. To encourage the student to try again
D. To change the topic of discussion
这道题的出题点在professor 的语气处。“Umm?Oh…I’m sorry but no.”
主要解题思路如下:
1)解释说明:解释说明题多出现在教授提出一个大家不认识的单词或者不熟悉的现象之后,直接解释或者通过问题来引出解释。
2)纠正错误:重听题中的纠错多表现于教授对于学生所说的内容的纠正。
3)举例论证:重听题中学生或者教授会用自己的故事或经历来表示支持所表达的观点。
官方真题Official7 Lecture1为例:
Professor: This is the inciting incident. It sets off, the plot of the play.
文中教授先提出一个专有名词,第二句是对专有名词inciting incident的解释。
官方真题Official1-L4为
Student: Oh, I see. At first I wasn’t sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I get it. It's the amount of time it takes for them to grow, right? So it would be five months?
Professor: Umm? Oh, uh… I’m sorry but no. It has nothing to do with that.
Why does the professor say this
A. To inform the student that his definition is incorrect
B. To suggest that the student did not do the reading
C. To encourage the student to try again
D. To change the topic of discussion
解析:请注意虽然问题的考点是后面那句话“It has nothing to do with that”但是如果你听出了professor的语气的话,你甚至可以在还没有听到后面那句陈述句的时候就能够从她前面的语气中明白她对之前学生讲的这番话的态度了。很显然她是在纠正学生的错误,所以答案选A。
题型总结
重听题是比较简单的一类题型,考生要在平时积累单词的基础上要多听多练习。相信大家在熟练掌握了以上内容之后,重听题的正确率就可以大大提高。
2020托福听力练习:物质奇异状态的奥秘
"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics with one half to David J. Thouless and the other half to F. Duncan Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter."
Göran Hansson, secretary general of the academy, this morning. All three new Laureates were born in the U.K. and went on to U.S. institutions. Thouless is emeritus professor at the University of Washington. Haldane is at Princeton. And Kosterlitz is at Brown University.
"Professor Nils Mårtensson, the acting chairman of the Nobel Committee, will provide some introductory remarks on the Nobel Prize in Physics:"
"This year's Nobel Prize recognizes important discoveries in the field of condensed matter physics. And today's advanced technology, take for instance our computers, rely on our ability to understand and control the properties of the materials involved. And this year's Nobel Laureates have in their theoretical work discovered a set of totally unexpected regularities in the behavior of matter, which can be described in terms of an established mathematical concept, namely that of topology. This has paved the way for designing new materials with novel properties. And there is great hope that this will be important for many future technologies."
Following the announcement, Haldane joined in by phone to talk about the discovery.
"And at the time I felt it was of scientific interest and mathematical interest and very fascinating, as a consequence of quantum mechanics that we hadn't guessed at. But I didn't think it would ever find a practical realization. But if something is actually possible it'll eventually, with material science, any kind of unexpected possibilities will lead to some concrete realization."
"And these materials would have a possibility that information, either electronic or in other versions, could travel in one way around the edge of the system without the possibility of the information in the signal being disrupted by impurities or bends in the path. And so this aspect of things at least has a theoretical possibility of having great practical implications in subjects like the dream of building quantum computers. So it's taught us that quantum mechanics can behave far more strangely than we would have guessed. And we really haven't understood all the possibilities yet."

2020托福听力练习:驯化家猪或含野生祖先基因
The standard story told about domesticating wild animals goes something like this:humans selected individuals with a desired trait—docility, for example and bred those animals together to produce offspring even more docile than their parents.
Eventually the breeders created a genetic bottleneck that separated domestic animals from their wild relatives.
And they brought their livestock along as they spread across Europe and Asia.
But now a group of scientists has demonstrated that the story is far too tidy—at least when it comes to pigs.
Pigs were domesticated from wild boar at least twice, in Anatolia in present day Turkey and in the Mekong Valley in China, both about 9,000 years ago.
They arrived in Europe about 7,500 years ago.
For this study, researchers focused on European pigs.
They evaluated more than 600 genomes from European and Asian wild boars and domesticated pigs.
And they found that, in Europe, the story of a bottleneck separating domestic from wild animals does not fit the genetic data.
Rather, the model that does fit indicates that there was a frequent flow of genes from wild European boars into the domestic population.
In other words, boars and pigs kept finding ways to get together.
The most likely scenario for the development of the modern pig genome includes gene flow from some species of European wild boars that are now extinct.
But their genes live on, on the farm.
The research is in the journal Nature Genetics.
The authors hope this study will prompt the use of genetics to evaluate the domestication history for other species, including dogs and horses.
They say the incorporation of contemporary and ancient DNA into these modeling scenarios will help elucidate the timing of the domestication of plants and animals and, “ultimately substantially enhance knowledge of this fascinating evolutionary process.”
