我们选取剑桥真题6Test 3 Section 4的选择题为示例:
31 According to the speaker, it is not clear
A when the farming economy was introduced to Ireland.
B why people began to farm in Ireland.
C where the early Irish farmers came from.
32 What point does the speaker make about breeding animals in Neolithic Ireland?
A Their numbers must have been above a certain level.
B They were under threat from wild animals.
C Some species died out during this period.
33 What does the speaker say about the transportation of animals?
A Livestock would have limited the distance the farmers could sail.
B Neolithic boats were too primitive to have been used.
C Probably only a few breeding animals were imported.
34 What is the main evidence for cereal crops in Neolithic Ireland?
A the remains of burnt grain in pots
B the marks left on pots by grains
C the patterns painted on the surface of pots
首先,学生们面临的第一个挑战即是:题目和选项都不短,那要如何迅速审题?其实,最根本的问题还是在于看题慢。所以,最直接的方法就是多多训练自己的阅读速度:单词的反应能力和语法的熟悉使用。然而,令学生更挫败的是:即使我看懂了题,也不代表我能听得懂、做得对。因此,考生们应当养成正确及高效地审题方法:
先看题干,再看选项。这样的操作很简单,就是让学生起码知道题目内容是什么。这样一来,实际听力时也能有目的性地筛选内容。
边看边划关键词。很多学生喜欢把听力当成阅读做,一个题干反反复复
要看好几遍。但是,听力原文是听出来的、不是看出来的,因而要养成划取关键词以作定位的做题方法。
接下来,进行本例题的解题示范。
31.题干没有很明显的定位词(关键词),但是不难分析出题目的主旨是一个问题;同时,在选项中出现了三个疑问词:when, why, where。通过他们,我们可以判断出三个选项的区别:时间,原因和地点。那么,在听题时就可以做到相应的信息筛选。
32. 题干关键词breeding animals;选项关键词:A. numbers, above a certain level; B. threat, wild animals; C. some species。
33. 题干关键词:transportation of animals;选项关键词:A. livestock, distance; B. Neolithic boats; C. only a few breeding animals。
34. 题干关键词:main evidence, cereal crops;选项关键词:A. remains; B. marks; C. patterns; surface。
以下为听力原文:
31. Good morning everyone. Last week we were looking at the hunter-gatherers in Ireland, across the Irish Sea from England. Today, we're going to move on to the period between four and six thousand years ago, known as the Neolithic period, which is when a total farming economy was introduced in Ireland.
Now, there are several hypotheses about the origins of the first Neolithic settlers in Ireland, but most of these contain problems. For instance, there are considerable archaeological difficulties about the theory that they came from England. The evidence doesn't really add up. But there are even greater practical problems about the theory that they came directly from continental Europe. For one thing, it's not clear just how sufficient numbers of men and women could have been transported to Ireland to establish a viable population.
原文中出现信号词but,后接problems,和题意相同,表明存在问题。信号词for instance,后接they came from England;信号词But,后接greater practical problemsfrom continental Europe。定位词其后考点词都是where的同义替换。所以答案选C。
32. Now, we know from modern farming that if the level of breeding stock falls below about three hundred females, the future of the species locally is at risk. So we must assume that from the beginnings of Neolithic farming the number of breeding sheep would have considerably exceeded three hundred, and the national cattle herd must have been of a similar size.
原文中出现breeding stock以及信号词So,后接the number of breeding sheepthree hundred。即是选项A的同义替换(数字)。
33. It's usually suggested that the Neolithic settlers used skin-covered boats to transport livestock. But this method would have severely restricted the range of the colonizing fleets. The sheer volume of animal transport necessary means it's unlikely that this livestock could have been brought from anywhere further than England.
原文中出现boats,后接信号词But,跟着出现limited的同义替换restricted;range的同义替换distance。选出答案A。
34. The main evidence for their presence consists of impressions on pottery, where a cereal grain accidentally became embedded in the surface of a pot before it was fired. The grain itself was destroyed by the firing, but it left an impression on the pot which could be studied and identified by botanists.
原文中出现main evidence,后接impressions(marks同义替换);信号词but,后接impression on the pot。选出答案B。
像以上这类Section 4的学术文章,信号词在解题中的作用非常大,并且同义替换也是常出的考点。因此,烤鸭们在练审题方法与速度的同时,也应该将信号词的内容和用法加以巩固,这样才能在Section 4中不被其听不懂的专业知识牵着鼻子走,而是有目的地筛选信息,选出正确答案。
