“听力多选题”

托福听力考试中，让大部分考生比较头痛的一种题型就是多选题。多选题有四选二，五选三的形式，有时甚至是五选二，不过，多选题这种题型错1个，就不得分。下面给大家分析下如何掌握听力多选题技巧。

考情分析

回顾19年的考情，多选题出现频率很高，在28道题中平均占到5-6题，也就是相当于每个篇章有一道多选题，有个别篇章（无论对话还是讲座）会出2道。

多选题实质就是对听力文本细节化的考察，且往往是对文本中并列点的考察。结合一个中文例子：

目前最主要的预防疫情方式有两种：少出门。只有阻断人与人之间的传播方式，防止交叉感染，才能有效控制疫情扩散。第二勤洗手。俗话说，病从口入，不过这次的流感病毒不仅仅会从口入，用手揉眼睛，也会带入病毒。所以经常洗手就非常重要。

Q：根据文本，当前预防疫情的最主要方式有哪两种？（Click on 2 answers）

□ 尽量不出门

□ 出门聚餐

□ 经常洗手

□ 戴口罩

很显然这道题的答案为A和C。D虽然也是预防疫情的方式，但是属于原文当中未提及的信息，所以是错的。在听力做题中，往往也会出符合个人主观，但实际未提及的信息，考生应当注意。

Answer

解析

从上面的这道中文例子，我们可知，搞定多选题的最有效方式是听辨并列信号词，并结合笔记记下并列点，笔记符号可以选择标数字或者大括号的形式，下面将展示例题的并列信号词。

并列信号一：数字

two/three/several/some

我们再来看一个例子：

What are two aspects of location that need to be considered when planning a pedestrian mall?( TPO13-L2)

Click on 2 answers

□ The proximity to the customer base

□ The number of nearby tourist sites

□ The variety of restaurants in the area

□ The access to public transportation

文本：

   Now let's start with the location. In choosing a specific location for a pedestrian mall, there are in fact two considerations: proximity to potential customers, um...that's what we would call a customer base, and accessibility to public transportation, which we will get to in just a moment.

Answer

解析

当听到two considerations时，预判会出多选题。我们要去识别并列点，关键词是proximity to potential customer和accessibility to public transportation。

在记笔记的时候，尽量运用缩写，可以记为以下形式：

近CB

public tansp

并列信号二：连接词

and, also, another, other, plus, not only… but also, first… second…

我们来看一下这道题：

How were scientists able to learn new information about Venus' surface? (TPO24L4)

Click on 2 answers.

□ More powerful telescopes allowed astronomers to see more surface details.

□ Satellites were used to get radar images of Venus's surfaces.

□ Space modules sent photographs after landing on Venus.

□ A space probe was able to locate gaps among Venus' clouds.

文本：

First of all, let me talk about how we have been able to get past those clouds. First, there were Soviet modules that landed directly on the surface and sent back some images of what was around them. Second, we did some radar imaging from satellites from above.

Answer

解析

根据信号词，first预判出题，标数字①，记下核心词S-module，再去等待第二个信号词second，再记下核心词 radar imagine。

① S-module

② radar image

总之要搞定多选题需要熟悉并列信号，预判出题。更多托福考试干货敬请关注新航道托福考试频道
