今天小编结合实例讲解托福听力的5大类常见错误原因,并讲解具体的应对技巧。
托福听力实战解题常见错误1:选项翻译错误
由于对句子成分辨识不清,导致翻译出错。举个例子:
What point do the speakers make about the background of The Dreamer?
A. It is a good example of Beaux's unusual style of brushstroke.
B. It resembles the backgrounds of other Beaux portraits.
C. Its lack of clarity emphasizes the theme of the painting.
D. It is meant to suggest that the woman is in a dark room.
这道题的正确答案为 C,正确翻译是:“缺少清晰度的背景强调了这幅画的主题”。但很多同学把这句话中的 lack 看成了谓语动词,翻译成:“背景没有清晰地强调这幅画的主题”。这和正确的翻译截然相反,导致选错。
应对技巧:
仔细研究语法,确定好词性和句子成分。
托福听力实战解题常见错误2:形近词看错
由于把选项中的形近词看混,或者把某个词看成另外一个形近词,导致理解错误。举个例子:
What is the lecture mainly about?
A. The environmental effects of heap roasting
B. The reforestation efforts in the Copper Basin
C. The process of mining and producing copper
D. Damages caused during an attempt to clean up industrial waste
有部分同学把 AB 选项中的 effect 和 effort 看混,或者把 B 选项中的 reforestation 看成 deforestation,导致理解的意思截然不同,所以选错。
应对技巧:
仔细审题审选项,二次检查。
托福听力实战解题常见错误3:没有关注单词复数
在内容主旨题中,做主语的名词的单复数有截然不同的意义。如果是复数名词,则意味着这篇讲座必须讲解多个事物或者从多角度多方面讲解某个事物,如果此篇讲座只讲解了单一事物或一个方面,则复数选项为错。很多同学没有仔细关注单复数的变化,导致选错。举个例子:
What are the speakers mainly discussing?
A. An architect from the United States and a house design she created
B. The disadvantage of houses based on a square design
C. Difficulties faced by residential architects in the nineteenth century
D. Women who had a major influence on architecture in the United States
这道题的正确答案为 A,很多同学选 D,D 选项的主语是 women,而这篇讲座只讲了一个女建筑师的事情,所以排除 D。
应对技巧:
仔细辨识单复数,结合原文综合思考。
托福听力实战解题常见错误4:由于某个关键词而选择该答案
托福听力陷阱选项中有一种迷惑性极强的选项,里面包含了原文中的某些关键词,但是整句话做了细节篡改导致似是而非。有些同学只看到关键词,没有仔细翻译整个选项的意思就做出选择,导致选错。举个例子:
What characteristic of no to the nioids helps them survive in subfreezing temperatures?
A. They maintain an unusually high body temperature.
B. A special tissue in their eyes enables them to see through ice.
C. Special proteins make their blood circulate too fast to freeze.
D. Ice crystals in their bodies are prevented from growing large enough to harm them.
这道题原文中的表述是 no to the nioids,这种南极鱼由于体内有某种蛋白质导致它们能在零度以下的水温里生存。很多同学看到 C 选项中的 proteins 直接选了 C,但是整句话中对 proteins 的解释和原文是不符的,是典型的细节迷惑型选项。正确答案为 D,对 proteins 的正确解释。
应对技巧:
了解这种细节迷惑型选项的普遍存在性,注意解题时精确思考避让。
托福听力实战解题常见错误5:对题型的解题思路不熟
由于对题型的解题思路理解不透彻,不遵守,主观排除正确答案。举个例子:
What had the man assumed about human impact on the environment?
A. That human impact on the environment is difficult to measure
B. That humans have only recently had an impact on the environment
C. That human impact on the environment is always harmful
D. That human impact on the environment cannot be avoided
这道题正确答案是 C。很多同学认为 C 选项的描述过于或者不符合事实所以直接主观排除,但是这道题的题干是一道转述型细节题,即问的是文中的男生过去认为人类对环境的影响是什么情况?C 选项确实是原文中男生的想法。
应对技巧:
仔细研究托福听力部分的七种题型,遵守相应的解题原则。
