新托福聽力推斷題，是就聽力段落的某些細節給出結論或做出比較，某些時候是就某一個詞進行推理判斷。
出現位置:
新托福聽力推斷題通常出現在聽力部分的2個長對話和4個演講中，每個長對話一般包含一個推斷題，而每個演講中也又可能包含一個推斷題，所以推斷題在整個聽力部分的總數在2至4個左右。
出題形式
通常情況下, 推斷題都是以what 開頭的特殊疑問句, 會對上段材料中出現的一些細節提出問題, 例如:
What can be inferred about Scott Anfinson ?
A: His work is not worthy of any credit.
B: He is an archaeologist with a lot of assets.
C: He has done a lot of noteworthy jobs on Minnesota archaeology.
D: He, as a great archaeologist, donated some assets to protect the local environment.
What can be inferred about professor’s attitude toward the book he’s describing?
A: He prefers coffee than tea because drinking coffee is a patriotic act.
B: Drinking coffee was considered patriotic at the time when British colonists ruled America.
C: Coffee was heavily taxed at the time.
D: Coffee was less popular because it offered little independence to people who loved it.
What will___ probably do next?
What probably happened to ___?
What can be inferred about___?
What is probably true about___?
新托福聽力推斷題做題技巧:
1. 在做題的時候注意不要過渡推斷，步驟最少的推斷最接近答案。舉個簡單的例子：某人生病了，我們不能說他去世了，只能說他身體不適或健康不佳。
2. 在推斷的時候必須基于原文，尤其是涉及自然科學的知識，在某一學科某一領域的某一概念還未被全世界的科學家普遍接受的時候，我們不能運用課外之時做出推斷。
尊重談話人的態度和意見是做題的關鍵。涉及到人文科學的知識，中外分歧更大，我們更要拋棄自己的主觀意見，站在談話人特定的歷史角色和觀點上，做出符合邏輯的推論。
3. 注意答案選項中是不是又被問對象的近似概念或同義詞，有些推斷答案就是同一概念的替換或延伸。例:
(一)
Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.
Professor: Scott Anfinson is an incredible archaeologist and author whose work conducive to the discovery of the indigenous Indian tombs is thought to be a great asset to Minnesota archaeology.
What can be inferred about Scott Anfinson ?
A: His work is not worthy of any credit.
B: He is an archaeologist with a lot of assets.
C: He has done a lot of noteworthy jobs on Minnesota archaeology.
D: He, as a great archaeologist, donated some assets to protect the local environment.
分析: 1.首先是正確辨別兩個詞: incredible (出色的, 驚人的) 和 asset (財富).
2. 通過分析A, 可以了解到是對incredible 的理解 . 在這里頭腦一定要清晰, 因為 incredible 中的in 不表示 “否定”, 與incomplete(不完整的)中的in 不是一回事.特別注意該詞的構詞法,在考試中經常會出現類似的混淆構詞方法的錯誤選項;
3. 再來分析B 和D, 通過分析不難得出主要考察對asset的理解.美國人經常把某人當作asset, 即 “人是世界上最大最寶貴的財富”的人生哲學的體現.
4. 綜上分析, 不難得出C 為正確選項. noteworthy 意為 “值得關注的”, 正好切合教授話中對Scott Anfinson 的嘉許.
