其實雅思聽力方面的題目一共可以分為兩種,一種是選擇題,而另一種就是填空題,選擇題就是讓我們選擇字母的,其中包括單選和多選,多選題一般都是在真題當中分布比較零散,出現頻率比較低的,但是我們還是應該引起注意才對
雅思聽力多選題:
選項的干擾性
多選題常見的兩種形式是五選二和七選三。選項繁多,讀題時間短,找中心信息困難這幾點無疑是同學們做題的障礙。除此之外劍橋真題中無論是多選題的正確選項還是干擾選項都會在錄音中被提及的特點更是讓基礎較差的同學覺得無從下手。往往是聽到原詞就急于進行選擇,無法有效辨別信息,導致失分。我們來看劍五Test1Section1(以下簡稱511,以此類推)的多選題體會一下。
Question 5 and 6
Which TWO things are included in the price of the tour?
A fishing trip
B guided bush walk
C reptile park entry
D table tennis
E tennis
原文:
Customer: And what about the other things? You know, that are included in the price.
Receptionist: Oh, there are a lot of things. If you don’t want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through a national park near the hotel, and there is no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That’s an extra $12 I think. And there’s also a reptile park in town - that costs more or less the same.
Customer : No, I think I prefer whales to snakes.
Receptionist: Yeah, and if you just want to relax, you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to pay for those by the hour.but there are also table tennis downstairs and they are part of the accommodation package. Just speak to your
Guide.
總結:
以上例子中A-E均在原文中出現(已用黑體字標出),這兩道題的特點是A-E選項均在原文中出現,選項原詞出現,容易定位,但是由于干擾信息多,同學們容易陷進題目設置的陷阱。需要同學們在審題的時候能夠辨別題目中的限制性信息,例如:included,currently,presented…
答案的改寫性
改寫性,也就是我們雅思聽力經常提到的同義替換,即答案通常不會使用選項的原詞,而往往會對答案詞進行同義替換。這也是雅思聽力各種題型加深難度的慣用伎倆。例如,在723的29 和30題中。這兩道題的答案是AD。A選項中的No military use 原文中為 for peaceful use; D選項中的no nuclear testing 原文中為 prohibits any nuclear explosions. 這里no改為了prohibits,testing改為了explosions.
Question 5 and 6
Which two achievements of the Antarctic Treaty are mentioned by the speakers?
A. No military use.
A. Animals protected.
B. Historic sites preserved.
B. No nuclear testing.
C. Fishing rights protected.
原文:
Interviewer: What do you see as the main achievements of the treaty?
Doctor: Well, firstly it means that the continent is reserved for peaceful use.
Interviewer: That’s article 1, isn’t it?
Doctor: Yes…
Interviewer: that’s important since the territory belongs to everyone.
Doctor: not as important as Article 5, which prohibits any nuclear explosions or waste disposal.
總結:
本類題的特點是,選項發生改寫,可能是派生詞也可能是同義詞等,想要做好此類題需要同學們平時在學習的時候整理出遇到的聽力同義改寫,逐漸掌握更多的改寫信息和改寫規律。事實上,及時整理改寫是學習雅思聽力過程中一直需要做的工作。有利于整體雅思聽力的成績提高。
答案的概括性
除了干擾信息多和原文信息改寫之外,多選題的答案信息提供還有另外一種方式就是對原文信息進行加工處理之后再用言簡意賅的語言表達出來。也就是對原文信息作總結的形式。這里舉的例子是劍11 的test4 Section3的21/22題:
其中正確選項為:B.they had all made music recordings.
原文:I wasn’t specifically looking for artists who’d produced recordings, but this is something that’s just taken for granted these days, and they all had.
還有23&24題:
Which TWO points does Joanna make about her use of telephone interview?
A. It meant rich data could be collected.
B. It allowed the involvement of top performers.
A. It led to stressful atmosphere at times.
B. It meant interview times had to be limited .
C. It caused some technical problems.
原文:
Supervisor: Right, now you collected your data through telephone interviews, didn’t you?
Joanna: Yes, I realized if I was going to interview leading musicians, it’d only be possible over the phone because they’re so busy. I recorded them using a telephone recording adaptor. I’d been worried about the quality, but it worked out all right. I managed at least a 30-minute interview with each subject, sometimes longer.
Supervisor: Did doing it on the phone made it more stressful?
Joanna:I’d thought it might…it was all quite informal though and in fact they seemed very keen to talk. And I don’t think using the phone meant I got less rich data, rather the opposite in fact.
Supervisor:interesting…
這幾道題的共同特點就是答案選項均為原文選項的總結信息。那么在做題過程中就需要同學們首先在審題的時候能夠找出選項的中心意思,找出選項中的重點所在(題中已經用紅色標記出)。其次還要求同學們能夠在聽力過程中準確定位到與選項談論內容一致的信息。例如原文中出現的leading musicians和選項中的top performers; 還有原詞定位的Rich data. 在我們所討論的這種總結類的題型里加大難度,除了以上兩點之外還需要同學們能夠聽出其中的邏輯: “因為頂尖的音樂家都很忙,所以能讓其參與的方法就是通過telephone.”“我不認為…相反…”
