雅思聽力技巧之快速識別隱含比較問題
不知道雅思聽力部分大家準備得如何了,在雅思聽力備考中,同學除了日常訓練之外,更需要掌握相關的技巧。如果你想真正提高分數(shù)的話,聽力選擇題我們要了解的知識還有很多。今天就為大家?guī)硌潘悸犃记芍锌焖僮R別隱含比較。
諸如major, majority, main, mainly等可能會用比較來進行闡述的詞匯的題目;隱含比較,即題干中未包含比較關系詞,但是選項內(nèi)包含比較的題目。并結合真題實例,進行詳細講解。首先我們來看一個例子:
例6 劍3 Test 3 Q37
Ostrich meat
A. has more protein than beef
B. Tastes nearly as good as beef
C. is very filling
思路透析:雖然題干較短,而且沒有比較指示詞,但是AB兩個選項都存在著比較,故此題依然以聽比較關系為重點。
實際做題:
原文:Ostrich meat is slightly higher in protein than beef, and much lower in fats and cholesterol. It tastes good too. A series of European taste tests found that 82% of people prefer ostrich to beef.
解題:其實答案A很明顯,幾乎是原詞重現(xiàn)。B錯誤的原因是大多數(shù)人們覺得鴕鳥肉比牛肉好吃,并不是一樣好吃。要注意在比較時經(jīng)常加入slightly這樣的副詞來修飾比較級。
例7 劍4 Test 4 Q14
On Travelite holidays, people holidaying alone pay
A. the same as other clients
B. only a little more than other clients
C. extra only if they stay in a large room
思路透析:題目要求是說獨自度假的人要付多少錢,從選項AB不難看出,此題要拿獨自旅行的人和其他人做比較了。
實際做題:
原文:
We also pride ourselves on our friendly service, particularly important for the increasing numbers of people who choose to holiday alone. Unlike almost all travel operators who happily charge large supplements for single room, we guarantee that no single client will pay more, even when only double rooms are available for them.
解題:unlike一句表示與其他旅行機構進行對比,我們保證不多收錢,注意這里pay more前面有否定詞no, 這樣會加大反應和解題的難度,多數(shù)學員聽到pay more就去選擇B了,這樣很可惜。Even一句更是強調(diào)了無論什么情況都不加錢,排除C。正確
答案為A。
例8 劍6 Test 4 Q34
Very few African lions have
A. a long mane
B. a coat with varied colors
C. a fold of skin on their stomach
思路透析:雖然題干與選項中都沒有明顯的比較關系,但是縱觀上下題目即可發(fā)現(xiàn),本文重點講的就是Asiatic lions和African lions的對比。
實際做題:
原文:
The color is more or less the same, but the appearance of the mane is different‐that’s the hair around the lion’s face and neck. The Asiatic lion’s mane is noticeably shorter than the African lion’s. Asiatic lions also have a long fold of skin on their undersides, whereas not many African lions have that.
解題:顏色more or less the same, 故排除B。African lion 的mane比Asiatic的長,排除A。通過最后一句轉(zhuǎn)折中的not many與few形成同意轉(zhuǎn)換得到答案C。此題難點在于比較的主體兩種獅子的前后順序變化要注意,并且題干中本身帶有few這樣的否定詞匯,又增加了難度。
通常隱含比較還是比較難的,因為題干里雖然無比較,但是選項里有比較的特點,而且實際聽力中又容易出現(xiàn)否定詞搭配比較表達出現(xiàn)的形式,使學生的反映時間和速度受到極大的影響,大大降低了解題正確率。希望考生能夠認真學習上述技巧,結合實際練習。
