實例解析雅思聽力中的大陷阱
在上兩講中,專家重點介紹了雅思聽力考試中的同義替換陷阱、出爾反爾陷阱以及關鍵詞靠后陷阱,在這一講中,我們會歸納出另外兩種常見陷阱。
這類陷阱在雅思聽力測試中經常使用,特別是在兩人對話中出現頻繁。一般是由一人提出操作方法讓對方選擇,對方在評價后作出決定。
特別注意:should do, decide on, vote for, best bet 等提出決定的用法,以及一些表示評價的形容詞,這時要分清誰是做決定者,做決定的人的語氣一般有一定提示作用。

Put notice in .
本題答案: Newsletter。
原文錄音: JOAN: Where do you think I should put up the notice?
Where everyones guaranteed to see it.
PETER: On the caf notice board I should think.
JOAN: Hardly anyone looks at that.
PETER: Well, the Newsletter is probably your best bet.
JOAN: Good idea. Ill go and do that now.
破題密碼: PETER本來想把通知貼在notice board上,但JOAN說幾乎沒有人看,用了hardly這個否定副詞,推翻PETER的提議。接著用best bet 這個用法,最后確定用Newsletter。
否定暗示:hardly
肯定暗示:best bet

Name of design: .
本題答案: Blind Puzzle 。
原文錄音: MARY COLLINS: What have called the design? Keep it short.
JOHN BROWN: What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped?
MARY COLLINS: Too long. Just say blind puzzle, thatll do.
JOHN BROWN: OK.
破題密碼: MARY COLLINS詢問設計名稱,但提示:Keep it short。
但JOHN BROWN給出了jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped。很多考生聽到這個答案馬上暈了,但很明顯,這個答案太長,超過一般填空題的規定字數,肯定不是雅思聽力的正常答案,所以考生聽到后無需驚慌。MARY COLLINS之后也說了Too long,意味著考生們還有一次機會。最后的答案只需填寫Blind Puzzle。由于很多考生對這個詞組不熟,所以本題失分率超過半數。
否定暗示: Too long.
肯定暗示:Just saythatll do

What is Brian going to do before the course starts?
A attend a class
B write a report
C read a book
本題答案: A。
原文錄音: BRIAN:Is there anything I should do before the course, likereading or anything?
TUTOR: We prefer to integrate reading with the course, so we dont give out a reading list in advance. But we like people to write a case study, describing an organization they know.
BRIAN: Ive already done that, as my friends told me you wanted one. But would it be possible to sit in on a teaching session, to see what its like? I havent been a student for quite a while.
TUTOR: Fine. Just let me know which date, and Ill arrange it with the tutor.
破題密碼: 本題是此類陷阱中討論方式最復雜,難度系數最高的題目之一。
第一重機關:
剛開始BRIAN詢問TUTOR是否有任務要做,是否需要看書,而TUTOR回答:希望把課程和看書結合在一起,we dont give out a reading list in advance所以答案C:read a book是錯誤的。但很多考生聽到reading這個詞,就激動地選擇了答案C,很可惜。
第二重機關:
TUTOR后面提到了case study。但BRIAN說Ive already done that,由于問題是What is Brian going to do before the course starts?這意味著答案B:write a report是錯誤的,于是又有一部分同學中彈了。
第三重機關:
最后,BRIAN提出想sit in on a teaching session,而TUTOR說了Fine,表示肯定,意味著答案A:attend a class是正確答案。
朗閣海外考試研究中心分析發現本題的得分率非常低,做這類題目,就如同在跟著路標開車,回答問題就像是轉了一個彎,如果被迫要連轉兩個或者多個彎,就有可能措手不及了。出題者這樣煞費苦心地迷惑考生,真可謂是機關重重,所以考生必須針鋒相對,學會披荊斬棘,才能最終得分。
否定暗示: dont give out in advance,
Ive already done that,
肯定暗示: Fine. Just let me know.

部分對應陷阱
雅思聽力測試中為了增加難度,會連續給出幾個干擾答案,但只有一個答案是對應這道題目的。所以,如果碰到數個信息連續轟炸,考生必須看清題目,排除干擾信息。
朗閣海外考試研究中心分析認為,這種陷阱常常出現在選擇題的選項中,即出題人故意把錄音中的部分信息,作為選項給出。要破解這個難題,無非是聽懂整個句子,而不是僅靠幾個單詞的對應去判斷。在此,告誡所有考生,千萬不能聽風就是雨。

Dans neighbour was successful in business because he
A employed carpenters from the area.
B was the most skilled craftsman in the town.
C found it easy to reach customers.
本題答案: C。
原文錄音: My neighbours business was business was unusually successful, and for years I couldnt understand why. Then I realized having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius , so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as neighbour.
破題密碼: 本題難度適中,但出現了很多干擾信息,平時如果只靠只字片語來判斷答案,這類題目就很難拿分了。
題目:Dan的鄰居在事業上很成功,是因為他
原文:Then I realized having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble.
答案C:found it easy to reach customers.與聽力原文相符,所以答案C正確。
干擾信息: 答案A:employed carpenters from the area.
答案A中的carpenters 會在原文錄音中聽到,但原文中Other local carpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius譯為:其他當地木匠只可以在方圓3公里內找到工作。根本沒有提到雇傭,所以答案A錯誤。
答案B:was the most skilled craftsman in the town.答案B中的skilled會在原文錄音中聽到,但原文中so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as neighbour.譯為:無論他們的手藝多么精湛,他們都不能和鄰居做一樣多的工作,與答案B中的意思相差很大,所以答案B錯誤。
