托福聽力重聽題：聽懂“言外之意”

　　從ETS官方對(duì)重聽題的設(shè)置來(lái)看：重聽題，往往在問(wèn)speaker某句話的言外之意，這一點(diǎn)也是重聽題的難度所在，不僅要聽懂那句話，還要理解語(yǔ)境，所以正確選項(xiàng)為accurately describes the speaker’s real meaning, purpose, or position。

　　常見的提問(wèn)方式有：

　　Whydoes the professor mention this…?(功能)

　　Whatdoes the student/professor imply when she/he says this…?(推斷)

　　Whatdoes the man/woman mean when she/he says this…?(態(tài)度)

　　我們可以得出，重聽題考查考生：

　　1.考生從文章整體去揣測(cè)某句話的潛在原因

　　2.考生應(yīng)理解某一句話的功能

　　3.考生需要理解某句話所暗示的內(nèi)容

　　4.通過(guò)speaker的語(yǔ)氣和語(yǔ)境去揣測(cè)其真實(shí)含義

　　5.考生需要理解speaker對(duì)于某個(gè)議題的立場(chǎng)

　　分析完題目設(shè)置，讓我們來(lái)看一下錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)的特點(diǎn)：

　　1.Can incorrectly describe the speaker’s real purpose. For example, if the professor says something tointroduce a topic, the wrong answer choice might say that the professor saidsomething to give an example of the topic.

　　打個(gè)比方：

　　TPO17L4：

　　Why does the professor say this?

　　A. To point out an error.

　　B. To illustrate a point.

　　C. To propose an explanation.

　　D. To correct a misunderstanding.

　　解析：

　　(重聽內(nèi)容)So the octopus has the ability tomimic both the color and the texture of its environment. And it’s truly amazinghow well it can blend in with its surroundings. You can easily swim within afew feet of an octopus and never see it. 教授說(shuō)的這段話知識(shí)為了強(qiáng)調(diào)章魚的與環(huán)境融合這個(gè)特點(diǎn)。并不是在解釋什么，也不是在更正之前的錯(cuò)誤。

　　2.Can incorrectly describe the speaker‘s meaning. For example , if an idiomatic is given, an incorrectanswer choice might give the literal meaning of the speaker’s words

　　TPO3L1：

　　Whatdoes the professor imply when she says this?

　　Thereis disagreement about the idea she has presented.

　　Shedoes not plan to discuss all the details.

　　Hernext point may seem to contradict what she has just said.

　　Thepoint she will make next should be obvious to the students.

　　解析：

　　(重聽內(nèi)容)It goes without saying，單從字面上理解，很多學(xué)生的第一反應(yīng)是“它一句話都沒(méi)說(shuō)就走了。。。”答案驚人，目瞪口呆，但是通過(guò)上下文我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，這里professor的意思是接下來(lái)要講的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)很明顯了，不需要再解釋了。

　　綜上所述，要做對(duì)重聽題，不僅要聽懂句子，也要結(jié)合上下文理解。
