托福听力真经总纲

对话部分的结尾考点规律总结 结尾原则可以说是对对话类考点的一种规律总结。它无关精听能力，没有明显的信号词，却屡 屡在考试中出现，想掌握好这个考点就一定要先知道有这样的考查规律存在。 结尾考点是指，在对话主线内容已经结束之后，对话本身并没有结束的时候，这部分看似与主 题无关的内容，往往会成为考点。判断结尾考点的出现，要注意以下两点：一是，对话的主线内容 结束，比如问题得到了解决，找到了理想工作，获得了对方的许可等等，而这个时候另一方还在给 出一些其他方面的建议，或者是相关的内容分析。这个时候这部分内容往往会成为考点。二是， 大家在感觉对话似乎已经结束的时候，要抬头看一眼进度条。如果它还没有走完，甚至还剩余很长 的一段的时候，就一定要提高警惕，保持高度的注意力，这个部分基本会出题。例题精析 例 3. What does the woman offer to do for the student? A. Save a copy of the book for him as soon as it comes in. B. Order more copies of the book. C. Call the computer store across the street. D.

He is embarrassed that he did not think of it himself. B. He suggests that the information be posted in the store. C. He apologizes for bothering the woman. D. He is annoyed that the woman did not tell him sooner. 1. 例题精讲 ● 这两道题均出自于同一篇对话的结尾部分。本文的主线是学生去找书，而这时候书籍已经找 了的――在对面的书店。 ● 但是职员并没有停止对话，而继续说了“Check across the street. I’ll bet they have it. But if not, come back, and I’ll help you find it somewhere else. I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK?”即：如果对面的书店没有的话，她可以帮忙打电话问其他书店。所以第 3 题的答案为 D。 C 为干扰项，错误。 ● 第 4 题的答案位置反而在第 3 题之前，当听到书在对面的书店有售之后，学生说：“Are there signs up anywhere?” 和“Maybe they should put some up. It could have save us both some time.”这些都指向答案为 B。 ● 总结：一是在结尾原则中，尽管对话的信息量不大，但是还是可以出 1―2 题的，这在对话 部分一共只有 5 题的情况下，占比并不低。二是这个例子也说明了对话考题的乱序规律，所 以一定要准确地记录每一点，这样才能对应到相应的题目，选出答案。 2. 2. 考点词总结 bet [bet] v. 打赌 sign [sa??n] n. 迹象；符号；记号；手势；指示牌 听力原文 例 Student: Hi. Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science? By, uh, by Stephen Wolfram. Clerk: OK Student: …uh,I couldn’t find it. Clerk: OK. Let me look it up on the computer for you. Who would you say the author was? Student: It’s a Stephen Wolfram. Clerk: OK. Let’s see… Hmm… no, it’s not coming up. Hmm… I am not seeing it. Student: Um…hmm. Clerk: This is for a course here at the university, right? Student: Yeah,It’s assigned reading for a class I am taking. Clerk: It’s for the semester, right? You are not buying it in advance for next year or anything. Student: No, no. It’s for a class I am taking now. Clerk: Hmm… Student: Oh, oh, you know what? Um, it’s for a graduate class. Would that maybe make a difference? I mean,I am an undergraduate, but I am just taking this one class in the graduate department, so…Clerk: No, no. I don’t think that’s it. That shouldn’t make any difference. But, hmm… let me see… maybe it’s just…it could be that whoever that entered it misspelled the title or the author’s name, so I can’t find it on the computer and I can’t tell if it’s sold out. But if it’s sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so. Student: Well, uh,I was hoping to get it sooner because we already have assignments and you know,I mean,I guess I can get it from the library. Clerk: Right, of course. But I am trying to check. If we’ve ordered more, then that back orders information should be in the computer too. Let’s see… back order… Wolfram,Stephen..,. no, no. I am not seeing it. I am sorry. We just don’t seem to carry it. Student: Uh-huh. Clerk: This is odd though. What is…what’s your professor’s name? I could try searching for his or her classes in the database.That might help Student: Um…OK. It’s professor Kayne. Clerk: K-A-N-E? Student: No. It’s professor Kayne, K-A-Y-N-E. He’s in the computer science department. Clerk: Oh. It’s for a computer science course, is it? Student: Yeah. Clerk: Well, that must be it. Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer bookstore. Student: Are there signs up anywhere? Clerk: I don’t know. Student: Maybe they should put some up. It could have save us both some time. Clerk: Yeah. Well, anyway, I’ll bet that’s the problem. Check across the street. I’ll bet they have it. But if not, come back, and I’ll help you find it somewhere else. I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK? Student: OK. Thanks a lot. Bye. Clerk: Bye
