俗話(huà)說(shuō)：知己知彼，百戰(zhàn)百勝。知道游戲規(guī)則，自然可以掌握游戲。托福聽(tīng)力自然也是如此。

1.對(duì)話(huà)或講座的目的(purpose)意指其功能，是這個(gè)對(duì)話(huà)或講座發(fā)生的主要理由。

對(duì)話(huà)中，說(shuō)話(huà)人的目的是與對(duì)話(huà)的話(huà)題、說(shuō)話(huà)人之間的關(guān)系以及談話(huà)的背景相關(guān)的。

新托?？荚囍?，關(guān)于目的的試題形式如下：

Why does the student go to see the professor? What is the man's problem?

Why is the woman concerned?

What is the purpose of the conversation?

2.談話(huà)或講座的目的與主題相關(guān)。新托福考試中關(guān)于目的的試題形式如下：

What is the purpose of the talk? ' i What is the main purpose of the lecture'l What is the speaker's main purpose?

3.有些關(guān)于目的的試題只與部分對(duì)話(huà)或講座的內(nèi)容相關(guān)。這些問(wèn)題通常問(wèn)的是某個(gè)短語(yǔ)或句子的作用：

Why does the student say _?

Why does the professor mention -?

Why does the instructor talk about . ? Why does the speaker tell a story about -? Why does the professor ask the class about _

4.有時(shí)考生可以再聽(tīng)一次部分對(duì)話(huà)或講座的內(nèi)容。之后會(huì)聽(tīng)到問(wèn)題問(wèn)及說(shuō)話(huà)人的目的。例如：

Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. (You hear part oftbe lecture again.) : .

Why does the professor say this.

5. 下面是一些新托?？荚囍袑?duì)話(huà)或講座目的的例子：

To ask for advice

To answer a question

To compare two or more things To complain about something To define a term

To describe a process

To emphasize importance

To explain causes and effects

To give examples :

To give reasons

To introduce a new concept

To recommend a course of action

6.有時(shí)說(shuō)話(huà)人會(huì)直接說(shuō)出其目的：

“l(fā) need advice about my paper."

“I'm concerned about my grade for this class."

“I'm applying to graduate school,and l was wondering if you'd write me a

1 letter of recommendation.”

了解到以上規(guī)則，是否對(duì)聽(tīng)力考試更加熟悉了呢？剩下來(lái)的事情就是操練啦！
