英語四級聽力技巧 掌握因果邏輯
在四級聽力測試的題目中,有關原因及結果或是引起與被引起的關系比重很大,若是考生對此類問題加強認識,則對提高聽力大有裨益。 首先要掌握一些體現(xiàn)原因的詞,如because, as, due to ,on account of ,in that, so…that, such…that, now that, thanks to, owing to, result in, give rise to等等。熟悉這些詞或詞組的表達法很重要。 另外,表達先后順序通過時態(tài)上也可體現(xiàn)出因果關系。 如:M:I was very sorry to hear about Bill’s being fired. I know he was sick a lot and that he usually got to work late. W:Oh, it wasn’t that .Bill made a big error in accounting. Even though it wasn’t really his fault, his boss was very angry. Q:Why did Bill lose his job? Bill被解雇的原因是made a big error in accounting.通?,F(xiàn)在分詞表原因居多,過去分詞表結果或趨勢,當然少數(shù)的例外也是有的。 有時,這種因果邏輯型考題的正確答案是經(jīng)過對有關信息的變換,或是一種解釋性語言。這樣考生不要指望答案會跟聽到的詞句完全相同而直接挑選出它。這樣的考題是不會出現(xiàn)的。 因此,做題時,不要以原文的重現(xiàn)作為選擇的標準,而應加以理解,轉(zhuǎn)換,找出與原文整體相關 的選擇項才是正確答案。這就要求考生在聽的過程中,不僅聽表面詞句,還要開動腦筋,挖掘句子含義,并進行有效歸納。以免造成聽懂了原文的字詞,卻選不出正確答案來??忌芮凶⒁膺@一點。
