語(yǔ)速

搭配題的語(yǔ)速往往較快，并且每題的答案出現(xiàn)的位置較近，因此很有可能在聽(tīng)力的過(guò)程中聽(tīng)漏信息。提醒考生在平時(shí)的練習(xí)中應(yīng)該刻意去練習(xí)對(duì)于語(yǔ)速較快的內(nèi)容的把握。值得我們注意的是在搭配題中，題干信息往往并不是很多，并且會(huì)在聽(tīng)力材料中讀出來(lái)。

如劍7 Test 1 Section 2的文字答案：

When it comes to our tents, these are equipped to the highest standard. We really do think of every essential detail. From an oven and cooking rings fuelled by bottled gas, to mirrors in the bedroom areas. If you don't want to cook indoors, you can borrow a barbecue if you ask in advance for one to be made available, and there's even a picnic blanket to sit on outside your tent. Inside, a box of games and toys can be found, and children's tents can be hired if required. All tents have a fridge, and if you want to spend the day on the beach, for example, ask for a specially designed PS Camping cool box, which will keep your food and drinks chilled. There are excellent washing facilities at all our sites, with washing machines and clothes lines in the central areas, along with mops and buckets in case your tent needs cleaning during your stay. All sites have a cafe and/or a shop for those who'd rather ‘eat in’ than dine at a local restaurant.

這里每一個(gè)答案之間的間隔很小，在聽(tīng)力過(guò)程中很有可能會(huì)聽(tīng)漏而導(dǎo)致失分。這邊需要把握住的就是題干信息，通過(guò)這題我們可以很清楚的發(fā)現(xiàn)，題干信息基本上都是名詞的內(nèi)容，而在文字答案中這些信息并沒(méi)有任何的變動(dòng)。這步我稱之為：定。

同義詞互換

當(dāng)能夠合理的定位到信息點(diǎn)后，同義詞互換就是我們最終需要去找到的信息。

如劍6 Test 1 Section 2 13-15的文字答案：

... Yes, we've increased the leg-room between the rows. This means that there are now fewer seats but we've sure audience will be much happier. And we've installed air conditioning, so it won't get so hot and stuffy. We already ha a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and now there are twice as many, which we hop will meet demand. Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts. The two we used to have were very small and slow. They've now gone, and we've got much more efficient ones. ...

和上面一篇一樣這邊的幾個(gè)定位詞——seats, wheelchair和lift不難找到。通過(guò)這幾個(gè)詞語(yǔ)我們也能順理成章的找到答案詞語(yǔ)——fewer, twice, gone，通過(guò)同義詞互換答案也很快出來(lái)了，分別是——數(shù)字減少C，2倍A和替換E。

Tapescripts

Some of you may be interested to know that the library is offering specialised training sessions on writing a dissertation. Obviously this is not relevant to those of you who are undergraduates; it is just for postgraduates. Your department will discuss the planning stage of the dissertation - i.e. what you're going to do - with you and we will focus on the structure of it. However, the training will also include some time on the computers. I realise most of you know how to organise files but we can show you the different ways to run data programmes. Your tutors will tell you at the outset how to set out the chapters they require but you will need to ask them how they would like you to organise the bibliography because it varies depending on your subject area. When you've got something together the trainer here will took through the draft version for you to see if it's OK. And, one final point, for those of you who have registered from abroad, we can offer individual sessions on dissertations if you feel you need them. If you require language lessons then they are available from the International Centre next to the Law Department.

這個(gè)題目審題并不是很困難，首先3個(gè)選項(xiàng)譯為：導(dǎo)師，圖書館員工和其他。4道題的定位點(diǎn)并不難，但是由于文中將library staff同義轉(zhuǎn)換為trainer/training，而且語(yǔ)速也非?？欤瑢?dǎo)致在聽(tīng)到此題的時(shí)候，很難把握信息。最終只好放棄。

總的來(lái)說(shuō)，搭配題在考試?yán)锩嫠闶潜容^難的一種類型，由于語(yǔ)速以及陷阱比較隱蔽，導(dǎo)致丟分很多。因此，議考生在做這種題目的時(shí)候要做好譯（選項(xiàng)的翻譯），定（題干的定位）和換（聽(tīng)力時(shí)的同意互換），做對(duì)這些難題也不是不可能。
