托福聽力推斷題如何解答

　　IBT推斷題通常出現(xiàn)在聽力部分的2個(gè)長(zhǎng)對(duì)話和4個(gè)演講中，每個(gè)長(zhǎng)對(duì)話一般包含一個(gè)推斷題，而每個(gè)演講中也又可能包含一個(gè)推斷題，所以推斷題在整個(gè)聽力部分的總數(shù)在2至4個(gè)左右。

　　出題形式：

　　通常情況下, 推斷題都是以what開頭的特殊疑問句，會(huì)對(duì)上段材料中出現(xiàn)的一些細(xì)節(jié)提出問題，例如：

　　What can be inferred about Scott Anfinson?

　　A: His work is not worthy of any credit.

　　B: He is an archaeologist with a lot of assets.

　　C: He has done a lot of noteworthy jobs on Minnesota archaeology.

　　D: He, as a great archaeologist, donated some assets to protect the local environment.

　　What can be inferred about professor’s attitude toward the book he’s describing?

　　A: He prefers coffee than tea because drinking coffee is a patriotic act.

　　B: Drinking coffee was considered patriotic at the time when British colonists ruled America.

　　C: Coffee was heavily taxed at the time.

　　D: Coffee was less popular because it offered little independence to people who loved it.

　　What will ___ probably do next?

　　What probably happened to ___?

　　What can be inferred about ___?

　　What is probably true about ___?

　　做題技巧：

　　1. 在做題的時(shí)候注意不要過渡推斷，步驟最少的推斷最接近答案。舉個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的例子：某人生病了，我們不能說他去世了，只能說他身體不適或健康不佳。

　　2. 在推斷的時(shí)候必須基于原文，尤其是涉及自然科學(xué)的知識(shí)，在某一學(xué)科某一領(lǐng)域的某一概念還未被全世界的科學(xué)家普遍接受的時(shí)候，我們不能運(yùn)用課外之時(shí)做出推斷。尊重談話人的態(tài)度和意見是做題的關(guān)鍵。涉及到人文科學(xué)的知識(shí)，中外分歧更大，我們更要拋棄自己的主觀意見，站在談話人特定的歷史角色和觀點(diǎn)上，做出符合邏輯的推論。

　　3. 注意答案選項(xiàng)中是不是又被問對(duì)象的近似概念或同義詞，有些推斷答案就是同一概念的替換或延伸。

　　舉例說明：

　　Narrator: Listen again to part of the discussion. Then answer the question.

　　Professor: Scott Anfinson is an incredible archaeologist and author whose work conducive to the discovery of the indigenous Indian tombs is thought to be a great asset to Minnesota archaeology.

　　What can be inferred about Scott Anfinson?

　　A: His work is not worthy of any credit.

　　B: He is an archaeologist with a lot of assets.

　　C: He has done a lot of noteworthy jobs on Minnesota archaeology.

　　D: He, as a great archaeologist, donated some assets to protect the local environment.

　　分析：1. 首先是正確辨別兩個(gè)詞：incredible(出色的, 驚人的)和 asset(財(cái)富)。

　　2. 通過分析A，可以了解到是對(duì)incredible 的理解。在這里頭腦一定要清晰，因?yàn)?incredible 中的in 不表示 “否定”，與incomplete(不完整的)中的in 不是一回事。特別注意該詞的構(gòu)詞法，在考試中經(jīng)常會(huì)出現(xiàn)類似的混淆構(gòu)詞方法的錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。

　　3. 再來分析B 和D，通過分析不難得出主要考察對(duì)asset的理解。美國(guó)人經(jīng)常把某人當(dāng)作asset，即 “人是世界上最大最寶貴的財(cái)富”的人生哲學(xué)的體現(xiàn)。

　　4. 綜上分析，不難得出C 為正確選項(xiàng)。noteworthy 意為 “值得關(guān)注的”，正好切合教授話中對(duì)Scott Anfinson的嘉許。

　　因此選C。
