雅思听力想要获得高分,既要不断的练习,也要掌握一定的技巧与规律。留学网雅思栏目为大家带来2016雅思听力之遇到连词要注意,希望大家能有所收获!
谈及连词and,相信同学们对于这个单词的熟悉程度绝对不会亚于上篇文章里所介绍的介词of。简单来说,它是一个连词,用法非常之灵活,主要用来连接两个或两个以上的单词、短语甚至句子。and的用法主要有两种,一表并列,二表顺承。现在就让我们一起来感受一下这两种用法在雅思听力的解题环节中所起到的重要作用!
1.并列:
According to George Bernard Shaw, men are supposed to understand 31., economics and finance. (C5-T1-S4)
相信同学们在一开场就看见section4的题目时,内心一定是拒绝的。但在这道题目里,and就发挥了非常大的作用。同学们可以观察一下and的前后,会发现已给出的两个单词都有一个共性,即都是学科名词。那么根据and表并列的特点,我们可以推断出,此处空格需要填的也必定是一个学科名词。于是在这时候,同学们就可以开始搜索出脑海内所有与学科名词相关的单词,悉心等待着这个单词的出现。而这道题所对应的音频A man is supposed to understand politics, economics and finance,也确确实实证明了我们的预测。
2.顺承:
原文: Woman: Well, you pay a 250 joining fee and then its 450 -- oh no, I m sorry, it s just gone up by 50, sorry about that-it s now 500 for the annual subscription fee.
在此段原文里,大家可以看到,这道题目的答案500是在定位词the annual subscription fee出来之前被先行念出的,所以稍不留神,同学们就有可能错过正确答案。因此在这种情况下,and的顺承作用就显得非常关键!在and出来的那一刻起,我们就要知道,上面部分的内容已经结束,下面部分的内容即将开始,需要我们打起十二万分的精神去细心听题。
由上述例子可见,连词and能够帮助我们提前预测出填空题的词性,同时也能引导我们顺利跟上音频的步伐。但是,同学们请注意!雅思听力酷爱挖坑,其中最乐此不疲的一个环节就属同义替换大法!作为出现频率如此之高的一个单词,and自然没能逃脱魔爪。在听力真题内对其进行的各种替换也着实增加了考试的难度系数!因此,为了让同学们对and的各种替换有所准备,我们今天就来简单总结一下它的几种主要替换形式。
例1. Cardboard, coloured pens and a 25 (C4-T4-S3)
原文: and coloured each one in using different colours, then you thread a piece of string ... So we'd need some string as well.
此道题目中, and=as well
例2. as sports 13............and equipment on floor 1-3 (C9-T1-S2)
原文:The first three floors have a huge range of sports clothing as well as equipment
此道题目中,and=as well as
例3. All managers need to understand their employees and recongnise their companys 28................... (C7-T1-S3)
原文: Well, managing people means you not only have an understanding of your employees, but youalso recognize the culture of the organization.
此道题目中,and=not onlybut also
4.The Castle Road library has books on sociology, together with 22.and other resources.
原文: But the Castle Road site has books on the sociology of education and a collection of textbooks and teaching resources covering most of subjects taught in secondary schools.
此道题目中,and= together with
由上面的几个例子我们可以看到,and可以被多种形式进行替换,就比如题目里所出现的as well; as well as; not onlybut also以及together with所以当同学们在考试中遇到连词and时,一定要做好它可能会被同义替换的心里准备哦!那么下面,mission来了,请同学们利用今天学到的知识,做一做下面的几道练习。
