(1)严格控制时间:由于两道题之间的间隔时间只有15秒,严格控制好时间成为通向成功之路的重要因素之一。考生最好在未开始听正式考题前抓紧时间把第一题供选择的4句话先看一遍,带着问题听,力争主动。应争取在10秒种内选出答案,抽5秒钟先看下一题的4个备选答案,做到开头主动,处处主动。 (2)万一其中一题未听清楚,切勿慌乱:应稳定情绪,将猜出的那个句子的字母涂黑(将印有A、B、C、D字母你认为正确的一个椭圆形中的字母涂黑),千万不要空着。迅速先看下一题4个供选择的句子答案,然后认真听下一题。 (3)应特别注意:正确答案与听到的那句话不仅意思最接近,而且语法词汇和声音都可能很相似:但是,如果供选择的其中一句话在某一些方面与听到的那句话个似,而意思却不尽相同时,那么,它肯定不是正确答案。 (4)应把注意重点放在听到的句子和看到的句子(A、B、C、D中其中一句)意思相同或相类似这一点上:切勿只因其中某句话在语法、词汇或声音与听到的句子相类似而上当。 (5)应抓住重要字眼:在遇到供选择的4句话都较长,要在规定时间内念完4句话再听录音,时间往往来不及。因此,抓住每句话的重要字眼(动词、名词、形容词),重复的部分可略去不念,把握住每句话的基本意思,对选择正确答案非常关键。 (6)熟悉托福听力中常用成语、片语:托福听力中使用的成语、片语不少。它们一般由很简单的词(通常是一个不及物动词和一个介词或副词)组成。它们往往离原词义较远,有的还不止一个意思,有的意思甚至我达10个左右(例如:Pick up——捡起、拿起、购买、收集、派(车、船)接(人)、增加、学会、恢复(健康)、挣钱等。熟练掌握常用英语成语、片语,对听力取得较好成绩有重大意义。(请参考刘毅编的《托福600分成语》) (7)熟悉听力考虑常见句型:托福听力Part A的考题中涉及的句型类别繁多,不易逐一归纳概括。不过,常见的句型有:1)否定句,2)感叹句,3)反意疑问句,4)比较句,5)虚拟句,6)带成语的句子,7)带数字的句子。下面是近年托福听力试题中Part A常见的句型: 1)否定句: Voice: Actually I don't think Jane is busy now.
