造成后者的原因其實很簡單,就是所謂的“強讀”與“弱讀”。以but為例,正常發(fā)音是:[b?t],但考試中音頻經(jīng)常為[b?t], 甚至[b?], 而且速度非常快,導(dǎo)致眾多考生沒法識別出來。
一定記住一點:雅思聽力選擇題的套路往往是把A,B,C三個選項分別闡述一下,再轉(zhuǎn)折,接考點。所以強轉(zhuǎn)折一定要加以注意。
劍橋真題五 test4
25. What does Karin think the company will do?
A. look for private investors
B. accept a takeover offer
C. issue some new shares
分析:
TRANSCRIPT:
Obviously they have the choice of accepting the very favourable terms that another company… have given them to buy them out. Or they could decide on a bolder move and offer some new shares if they wanted. But I think they are more cautious than that and expect that they will start trying to find individuals who’d be prepared to back them with some of the capital they need.
在這里,B和C的同義置換均有所出現(xiàn)。buy out即買斷,對應(yīng)B項的takeover; offer some new shares對應(yīng)C項。但是下文又都予于否定,重點就在于but之后的內(nèi)容。所以建議考生在聽力過程中積極識別強轉(zhuǎn)折信號詞。正確答案選A。
