三,短文部分
2010年12月的短文題目延續了近年來對于普及新知識的重視。關于短文的傳統解題方法我在之前各期六級聽力的相關解題技巧講解的文章中已經多次提到,這里就不再贅述。針對普及新知識的類型文章,我這里將和大家分享一些除了邏輯詞、視聽基本一致等基本解題思路外的信息。
以該套題目第一篇短文為例——
(文章最開始的首句群出現開篇26題答案位置,選項即原文重現)Among global warming’s most frightening threats is the prediction is that the polar ice-caps will melt, raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded.Scientists agree that key player in this scenario is the West Antarctic ice sheet, a Brazil-size mass of frozen water that is much as 7000 feet thick. Unlike floating ice shelves which have little impact on sea level when they break up, the ice sheet is anchored to bedrock will blow the sea surface. Surrounded by open ocean, it is also vulnerable, (注意but的邏輯詞引導,這是第27題答案位置)but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is.(細節題,第28題答案位置,和選項幾乎相同的原文重現)Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years, a period when global temperatures probably were not significantly higher than they are today. And the ice sheet was assumed to have been stable. In geological time, a million years is recent history. The proof, which was published(提示第29題latest finding)last weekin Science, comes from a team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and California Institute of Technology who drew deep holes near the edge of ice sheet. Within samples collected from the solid substances lying beneath the ice. They found fossils of microscopic marine plants which(第29題答案位置,注意結論性的語句)suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice.As Herman Engleheart, a co-author from the California Institute of Technology says, ‘the West Antarctic ice sheet disappear once and can disappear again.’
26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage?
答案:Many coastal cities will be covered with water.
27. What did scientists disagree on?
答案:How unstable the West Antarctic ice sheet is.
28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet?
答案:It collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years.
29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest?
答案:The West Antarctic region was once a open ocean.
本文屬于地理科學類文章,涉及到全球氣候變暖、極地冰川融化等近年來很熱門的環境問題。其中包含一些專業詞匯,如West Antarctic ice sheet西南極洲冰原,ice shelf 冰架, fossil 化石, microscopic marine plants海洋微生物,等等。除了專業詞匯的困擾外,文章中出現的大數字也會在聽力放音中給眾多考生加壓。文章結尾選取的Herman Engleheart的引語,給全篇的科學實驗做出了一個結論,也就是西南極冰原可能再度融化。
在這類專業性較強的文章里,一定要聽明白文章首句群——在文章的開頭三到四句話中往往會交代這篇文章研究的領域或者提出的科學猜想,這對于解題至關重要。通常在這樣的首句群之后,文章將進行到相關的數據例證或者實驗分析,這時候,由于文章本身出題數量的限制,經常是沒有需要總結或概括的題目出現的,所以,在數據列舉和實驗分析的過程,即使出題也很可能只是細節的題目,這個時候應用視聽基本一致就變得非常簡單。文章的結尾往往很重要,通常會有結論出現。基本在所有的新知識普及型文章中,都有兩個通用的出題點——a,實驗帶來的最終結論;b,科學研究者的直接引用觀點即得出的最可能的理論和設想。所以,請大家注意如a, research/ survey/ statistics/ evidence/ studies…+ show/ reveal/ indicate…和b, scientist/ researcher/ a certain scientist’s name…+ believe/ find/ discover/ estimate…組合后方的內容,往往是答案所在的區域。
此外,請大家關注一下兩個話題近兩年在網絡上的相關文章:a,環保、新能源、新材料;b,健康和醫療新突破。
四,復合式聽寫
1, 審題。先看第一句,判斷出該篇的主題、感情基調及時態。再看單詞空格前后的單詞或短語,以此推知空格中所填單詞的詞性甚至詞義。此外還需注意句子空格前后是什么單詞,以判斷句子的起止點。
2, 速記。復合式聽寫在第一遍讀文章時,時間是比較不夠用的,所以如何鍛煉自己速記能力很重要。如departmentdept., difficultdifft, three months later 3m>, eight days ago<8d等。對于寫字慢的同學,句子不一定完全照搬,可以記下重點詞,之后憑印象和邏輯連詞成句。
3, 注意單詞拼寫。一般常考的單詞是名詞和動詞。名詞需要注意單復數,動詞需要注意時態。句子中如果遇到不會拼寫的單詞,可用同義詞替換。
例題:
2009年6月六級考試復合式聽寫第36題
English is the leading international language. In different countries around the globe, English is acquired as the mother (36)________, in others it’s used as a second language.
答案:tongue
相信大部分同學只要看了這句話,就都可以猜出在空格里填入的單詞和前面mother構成的短語意思應該是“母語”,于是填入tongue。實際上這個空格是無需聽音即可填出的。
例題:
1999年6月六級考試復合式聽寫第S1題
President Clinton later today joins (S1) ________presidents Ford, Garter and Bush at “the president’s summit for American’s future” aimed at recruiting one million volunteer tutors…
答案: former
同樣的,無需聽音,即可猜出S1空格應和presidents搭配意為“前總統”,于是填入former.
最后,祝各位考生在考試中取得滿意的成績!
