踩坑不可怕!天天踩坑才可怕!托福听力这些坑踩过?如何避过托福听力误区?
你是不是托福听力分数久练不涨?可能是没有注意这些坑。
一、生词干扰
What does the professor say about bacteria that grow around hydrothermal vents?
A. They are able to withstand higher temperatures than all other organisms.
B. They are not as resilient as bacteria that live in glacial waters.
C. They must have small amounts of sunlight to survive.
D. They use hydrogen sulfide as their primary nutrient.
基础词汇及核心词汇做到听背同步,背诵时注意跟读,同时了解词汇常用语境;常考学科词汇及真题词汇通过词性结构和背景知识来记忆,比如hydrothermal= hydro(水)+ thermal(热),通过这种方法背诵词汇,赶走信息理解道路上凶恶的拦路虎。
二、漏听信息
4. 走神及外界干扰
解决方法
需要进行规律的精听练习,根据自身情况做断听跟读或影子跟读,同时适当进行倍速训练,尤其注意模仿连读、吞音、弱读等易漏点,来有针对性地提升语音敏感度。
三、长句抓取
四、翻译误差
What is the main purpose of the lecture?
A. To compare active habitat selection with passive habitat selection.
B. To show that most habitat preferences in animals are learned.
C. To compare the habitat requirements of several bird species.
D. To examine the consequences of habitat selection by animals.
结合出题规律,上题中的选项B的正确解释应该是2.去展示大多数动物对栖息地的倾向是后天习得的。
五、过度联想
原文:
Student: She’s away this semester. I have to beg her to give me extra time on this project. I haven’t even received a grade in the class yet. And these classes are prerequisites for other classes in the major. I really need to see those books so I can finish up this project and get back on the course to graduate on time.
Librarian:Everybody has special circumstances.
Student: Two hours? One hour? I promise to be careful. I just need to look at a few pages with a strong magnifying glass.
对应题目:
What does the woman mean when she says this: Everybody has special circumstances.
A. She has been in a similar situation herself.
B. She will help the student solve his problem.
C. She has often heard this kind of story from students.
D. She thinks the student should try to understand her situation.
同学们解题时需注意充分参考原文,还原原文场景,学会换位思考,站在说话人的角度来思考,并且充分比较各个选项,避免过度脑补。
六、技巧欠缺
The man expresses reservations about the suggested topic for his term paper. What is the professor's attitude toward the man's reservations?
A. She thinks the man has demonstrated the necessary background in statistics.
B. She thinks the man should choose a topic he is more comfortable with.
C. She thinks the man should ask another student to help him understand the statistics.
D. She thinks the man's worries are unnecessary.
七、背景缺失
如果考生对常考知识不熟悉,则会在理解层面遇到障碍。比如考试中出现木星(Jupiter)的形成理论,若同学们对gas giant(气巨 星)、Hydrogen(氢)、Helium(氦)等一些基本知识没有概念,那无疑是在起跑线上摔了一跤。
解决方法
当然,托福备考七分靠实力,三分靠技巧,还有九十分靠练习。针对以上七大易犯错误,同学们要注意,坚持用对的方法练习,最 终拿到理想的分数。
