2017托福聽力對話考點解析

　　很多考生在考托福聽力2往往會遇到一個問題：就是聽和記筆記不能兼顧，那么在這種情況下一定是以聽為主，記筆記為輔，尤其是對于conversation來說聽懂比記筆記更顯的重要，那么有些學(xué)生就可能要問了“一篇文章這么長，我不可能把所有的細(xì)節(jié)都記在腦海中的”。其實不然，只要我們在聽conversation時抓住其框架，并且把框架里的一些重要的要點抓住就可以了。下面筆者來給大家講解一下conversation的邏輯框架以及框架中的一些要點。

　　我們知道conversation大體可以分成2類：

　　1. Service Encounter(一般是學(xué)生和學(xué)校工作人員之間的對話)

　　2. Office Hour(一般是學(xué)生和教授之間的對話)

　　但不管是哪一類，學(xué)生都是有了問題去找對方的，那么我們首先要聽明白學(xué)生的問題是什么，學(xué)生的問題一般都是由一些信號詞引出來的：I was wondering/I was thinking/My problem is/Here is my question，等等，下面我們來看一個實例(TPO17-C2)：

　　Manager

　　What can I do for you, John?

　　Student

　　Well, I work week nights, except for Friday. I was wondering if I could switch from working the dinner service to working at lunch.

　　對應(yīng)的題目：

　　1. Why does the man go to see the woman?

　　A. To complain about customers.

　　B. To request an increase in his pay.

　　C. To ask for a change in his work schedule.

　　D. To apply for a job playing music in the dining hall.

　　那么學(xué)生的問題提出來以后就要分析產(chǎn)生這個問題的原因了，當(dāng)然這個原因?qū)W生和老師都有可能說，我們還是來看一個實例(TPO17-C2)：

　　Manager

　　That’s going to be a problem. I am afraid we don’t have any openings at lunch time. A lot of students want to work then, so it is really rare for us to have an open spot at that time of day.

　　Student

　　Oh, you see, Ihave joined this group, the University Jazz Band, and the band’s practice time is right around dinner time. You know, it is so hard to get into this group; I must have auditioned like ten times since I have been at the school, so I am...

　　Anyway, so I was really hoping to have the dinner hour free so I can go to practice.

　　對應(yīng)的題目：

　　2. What activity does the man want to be able to do at dinnertime?

　　A. Prepare for his morning music classes.

　　B. Rehearse with a school music group.

　　C. Play jazz for the faculty in the dining hall.

　　D. Eat with classmates from his music class.

　　這里學(xué)生換工作時間的原因就是學(xué)生參加了一個大學(xué)里的爵士樂隊，爵士樂隊要排練

　　原因分析完了以后一定會針對學(xué)生的問題給出相應(yīng)的建議的，就是解決問題了。我們也以一道實例來看一下(TPO17-C2)

　　Manager

　　Well, if you don’t mind working in the kitchen, we’ve got some pretty flexible hours for students doing food-prep work, anything from early morning to late afternoon.

　　Student

　　What’s prep work?

　　Manager

　　You prepare food for the cooks. You know, like cutting up vegetables for soup, or cleaning greens for salads.

　　對應(yīng)的題目：

　　3. The woman asks the man to consider a different job. What kind of work would the man have to do for the new job?

　　A. Get ingredients ready for a meal.

　　B. Clean kitchen equipment for the cooks.

　　C. Prepare the weekly menu for the dining hall.

　　D. Coordinate schedules for student workers.

　　這道題考的考點就是在給出解決方法上

　　所以總結(jié)一下，就是對于conversation而言，我們在聽完后一定要能抓住這篇文章的框架：提出問題-分析問題-解決問題。

　　那么在這個大的框架下，還有哪些細(xì)節(jié)是需要注意的呢?我們看看以下幾個在conversation中比較重要的細(xì)節(jié)：

　　1. 老師的要求：(學(xué)術(shù)話題多考)：老師對作業(yè)，論文，的要求。

　　信號詞：required，requirement，you need to, you should…

　　2. 額外信息(如果文中出現(xiàn)必考)：conversation中的額外信息就是一些其他的人，比如：Classmates, other students等，一定要聽和主角或者主題相關(guān)的信息

　　3. 語氣轉(zhuǎn)變：明顯語氣轉(zhuǎn)變，如一些語氣詞：in fact， actually， wow等
