解題思路:英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力試題中存在這樣一種現(xiàn)象:出題人為了增加試題難度,增強(qiáng)選項(xiàng)干擾性,往往會(huì)讓錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)聽(tīng)力原文中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的某個(gè)詞匯或某個(gè)信息,而正確選項(xiàng)反而刻意避免使用聽(tīng)力原文詞匯,也就是“視聽(tīng)反向”的情形。應(yīng)對(duì)這類題目,我們應(yīng)該注意抓住說(shuō)話人的語(yǔ)氣和感情色彩,聽(tīng)出言外之意。這類題目有時(shí)會(huì)考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣等句型。
選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn):類似人物意圖題的選項(xiàng),選項(xiàng)主謂賓較為齊全,選項(xiàng)可能較長(zhǎng)。有時(shí)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)開(kāi)頭很不一致,有時(shí)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)結(jié)構(gòu)很不一致。
經(jīng)典考題:
例1:2006年12月23日真題
5.[A]Tom has arranged to meet his bride Sarah in Hawaii.
[B]A double blessing has descended upon Tom.
[C]Tom was more excited than Sarah at the wedding.
[D]Both Sarah and Tom have been awarded doctoral degrees.
原文:W:Tom is very excited.Just yesterday he received his doctoral degree and in a few minutes he'll putting the ring on Sarah's finger.
M:He's really such a lucky dog!Sarah is a lovely bride and tonight they are going to Hawaii on their honeymoon.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation?
答案:B
解析:這道題的選項(xiàng)比較復(fù)雜。女士說(shuō):“Tom非常興奮,昨天他剛拿到了博士學(xué)位,現(xiàn)在馬上他又要迎娶Sarah了。”男士說(shuō):“他真是幸運(yùn)兒!Sarah是個(gè)可愛(ài)的新娘,今晚他們就要去夏威夷度蜜月了。”由此可知Tom既拿到了博士學(xué)位又要迎娶新娘,可謂雙喜臨門。而選項(xiàng)B“A double blessing has descended upon Tom”就可以翻譯成“雙喜臨門”。另外,選項(xiàng)A、C 、D中都提到了原文中出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容,但都不符合原文。
例2:2011年6月真題
16.[A]The man has decided to choose Language Studies as his major.
[B]The woman isn't interested in the psychology of language.
[C]The man is still trying to sign up for the course he is interested in.
[D]The woman isn't qualified to take the course the man mentioned.
原文:M:I'm taking this great course—Psychology of Language.It's really interesting.Since you're a psychology major,you should sign up for it.
W:Actually,I tried to do that,but they told me I have to take Language Studies first.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation?
答案:D
解析:這道題選項(xiàng)比較復(fù)雜,但可以注意到其中包含校園場(chǎng)景詞匯。男士說(shuō):“我選修了語(yǔ)言心理學(xué),真的很有趣,既然你主修心理學(xué),你也應(yīng)該選這門課。”女士說(shuō):“事實(shí)上我已經(jīng)試過(guò)了,但是他們告訴我在選這門課之前必須要先選修語(yǔ)言研究。”由此可以推斷出女士目前并不能選修男士提到的這門課。也就是選項(xiàng)D所說(shuō)的“...isn't qualified to take the course”。
