雅思聽(tīng)力考試中有一些常見(jiàn)的連接詞，很多備考同學(xué)認(rèn)為這些是常規(guī)詞匯不表達(dá)具體語(yǔ)義所以常常忽略，但實(shí)質(zhì)上，這些詞是最應(yīng)引起重視的，尤其條件詞就是需要被特別關(guān)注的一類詞匯，因?yàn)檫@類詞往往意味著轉(zhuǎn)折，反義等意義，而這些意義則會(huì)是聽(tīng)力過(guò)程中最大的變數(shù)。很多語(yǔ)句的前后都會(huì)伴隨著一些“條件詞”：

　　Only if, Unless, Except for , As long as, Provided that, On condition that…

　　如果聽(tīng)題時(shí)候“分神”了,烤鴨會(huì)死得很慘!

　　例一：只有二三年級(jí)生才能使用MAC電腦嗎?

　　The third computer network that is the Macintosh computer network is reserved for the second and third year students to use only, unless you are the first year students of the Graphic Design course, who require higher quality of the output of your work. 不是,因?yàn)楹竺嬗袀�(gè)unless部分。

　　例二：是否任何事情都可以聯(lián)系你?

　　Q: May I put you into our mailing list?

　　A: Well, I’d prefer not, except for the information about the promotion you mentioned just now. 只有一個(gè)條件可以,就是except for后面的情況(別的概不接受)。

　　例三：你覺(jué)得多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間播一次廣告可以接受呢?

　　Q: How long will it be tolerate to have adverts?

　　A: Well, I’d say every quarter of an hour, as long as they don‘t last for 10 minutes each time.

　　答案絕對(duì)不是10分鐘,我的課上這個(gè)題是重點(diǎn)題也是難題!很多考生會(huì)選錯(cuò),純粹是因?yàn)榭忌�只�?tīng)到10分鐘這個(gè)點(diǎn)太清楚了,別的都很模糊,而且as long as 的條件詞特別“提醒了”考生后面的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。

　　例四：熱帶雨林危險(xiǎn)嗎?

　　There’s no need to be nervous of the rainforest, provided that you treat it with respect and common sense. Most of the animals and wildlife are gentle and harmless.

　　不要擔(dān)心進(jìn)入熱帶雨林會(huì)遇到危險(xiǎn),只要你善待自然,就可以和平共處……

　　關(guān)注各種條件詞，需要在平常的雅思培訓(xùn)聯(lián)系中就對(duì)這類詞匯施以極大地關(guān)注，并且要求廣大雅思考生不要想當(dāng)然爾，在沒(méi)有聽(tīng)完主體之前，先對(duì)聽(tīng)的內(nèi)容產(chǎn)生了先見(jiàn)為主的印象。只有集中全部的注意力，并且有重點(diǎn)的聽(tīng)，才能在雅思聽(tīng)力的過(guò)程中避免失誤。
