雅思聽力選擇題難題解析

　　一、重要性

　　雅思考試中選擇題并不是一個(gè)重點(diǎn)考題，但是選擇題確實(shí)一個(gè)必做不可的題目。由于選擇題并不需要填寫單詞，因此對于那些苦于單詞拼寫的同學(xué)，選擇題就是他們的救命稻草了。

　　二、難點(diǎn)及應(yīng)對

　　閱讀速度

　　由于雅思考試需要邊聽邊做，因此在內(nèi)容開始之前將試卷通讀一遍是非常重要的，但是由于考試的時(shí)間是有限的(每一個(gè)section前只有30秒)，如果當(dāng)需要讀的信息比較多的時(shí)候可能沒有辦法讀完。

　　如劍7 Test 2中的第31-35題

　　Questions 31-35

　　Choose the correct letter, A, B or C.

　　Left and Right Handedness in Sport

　　31 Anita first felt the Matthews article was of value when she realised

　　A how it would help her difficulties with left-handedness.

　　32 Anita feels that the findings on handedness will be of value in

　　A helping sportspeople identify their weaknesses.

　　B aiding sportspeople as they plan tactics for each game.

　　C developing suitable training programmes for sportspeople.

　　33 Anita feels that most sports coaches

　　A know nothing about the influence of handedness.

　　34 A German study showed there was greater ‘mixed handedness‘ in musicians who

　　A started playing instruments in early youth.

　　B play a string instrument such as the violin.

　　35 Studies on ape behaviour show that

　　A apes which always use the same hand to get food are most successful.

　　B apes have the same proportion of left- and right-handers as humans.

　　C more apes are left-handed than right-handed.

　　這邊的5題一共有將近200個(gè)單詞，在短短的30秒鐘內(nèi)全部看完確實(shí)有非常大的難度。這時(shí)建議考生要采取“丟車保帥”的方式，也就是抓住中間的最重要的信息，而將其他的次要信息省略不看。對于單選題來說，題干極其重要，往往我們需要通過題干來定位到每一題，我們要記住，雅思考試中答案是按照順序讀出來的，也就是“順序原則”，所以選擇題的答案往往都在題干之后讀出來。因此在審題的時(shí)候?qū)⑺械念}干全部過一遍就非常重要了。這也就是我們可以找尋到的第一個(gè)方法——略。

　　第31題的題干的意思是Anita開始覺得Matthews的文章非常重要，是當(dāng)她意識到……的時(shí)候。下面我們來看看這邊的文字答案。

　　Tapescripts:

　　My topic is handedness - whether in different sports it is better to be left- or right-sided or whether a more balanced approach is more successful. I‘m left-handed myself and I actually didn‘t see any relevance to my own life when I happened to start reading an article by a sports psychologist called Peter Matthews. He spent the first part of the article talking about handedness in music instead of sport, which I have to say almost put me off from reading further. But what I soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both observation and investigation he had done in many different sports and I felt persuaded that what he had to say would be of real interest. I think Matthews‘ findings will be beneficial, not so much in...

　　這邊作者先介紹了一下自己的情況，也就是"left-handed"，這里和選項(xiàng)A比較相近，但是此時(shí)并沒有讀出題干來，因此我們完全可以排除A這個(gè)答案。(根據(jù)我們上面提到的順序原則)接下來，作者提到了"Peter Matthews"這個(gè)人，并且提到了music，也就是和B很相近，此時(shí)他的態(tài)度是"almost put me off"，這個(gè)和題干中的"of value"矛盾，也就是這個(gè)也不是答案。此時(shí)我們已經(jīng)可以很順利的選到正確答案C了。——將錯(cuò)誤的信息全部排除，剩下的就一定是正確的答案。

　　當(dāng)然此題可以通過同義詞互換做出來，也就是這邊標(biāo)注了答案的地方:"sheer volume"和C選項(xiàng)中的"impressive size"是類似的意思。但是很多同學(xué)會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，這個(gè)詞比較難聽懂。也就無法很快的找到答案了。

　　干擾信息

　　往往選擇題給答案的時(shí)候，不會(huì)這么容易讓我們聽出錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng)，也就是會(huì)將錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)讀的非常像正確的。導(dǎo)致許多同學(xué)在聽力中出錯(cuò)誤。

　　下面我們看到上面題目中第35題的文字答案：

　　Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by ‘fishing‘ ants from ant hills. The studies show that apes, like humans, show handedness - though for them right- and left-handedness is about equal, whereas about 85% of humans are right-handed. Studies showed that apes consistently using the same hand fished out 30% more ants than those varying between the two.

　　這道題最大的難度不是聽出"fished out 30% more ants"是和A選項(xiàng)的"more successful"是同義詞互換，而是很多同學(xué)會(huì)將前面的"right- and left-handedness is about equal"誤認(rèn)為就是B選項(xiàng)的"same proportion of left- and right-handers"，而導(dǎo)致選錯(cuò)答案。也就是我們上面剛剛提到的需要排除錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)即干擾信息。這就是我們所說的做選擇題的另外一個(gè)思路——剔。

　　總的來說，選擇題主要是由于審題時(shí)間不夠，建議各位考生，除了要盡力提高閱讀速度以外，找到重點(diǎn)信息是非常重要的，換句話說就是省略掉不需要細(xì)讀的信息——略，然后由于選項(xiàng)并沒有詳細(xì)的研究，因此在聽題的過程中聽到答案的時(shí)候不要過于快速的下筆選擇，而是應(yīng)該注意分辨出干擾信息，剔除掉錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng)——剔，這樣正確的答案就離我們更加接近了。
