Chapter 11 概括询问的考题 I 只要听到一个核心语就好
Part 3满分策略
Part 3这部分是听完十五秒左右的对话后,回答三个考题。这里共有十个对话,所以一共三十个考题,需要注意的是听力录音里对话的内容与考题只念一次。
1. 若不看考题与选项,无法将三个考题都答对。因此一定要看考题然后再听对话。针对这种情况,要反复练习在固定时间之内看完考题再听对话,这样可以熟悉这部分的考试节奏。
2. 一般而言,对话的第一句与最后一句会出现对第一个与最后一个考题答案的提示。最近考试中,在对话的最后部分将主要内容重述一次的情形很多。另外,考题的答案在对话里面依序出现的情形为70%以上。
3. 出现的考题、类型、词汇都是固定的。因此请熟悉常出现的考题与类型,并且将已出现过的考题与词汇背下来,同时通过模拟考试反复练习。
4. 在时间很紧迫的情况下,一定要一边看题,一边听清楚听力,在规定时间内填好选项,继续做下一题。

1. 概括询问的考题的特色
Part 3的考题类型为“概括询问的考题”与“仔细询问的考题”。概括询问的考 题在任何对话之下都可能出现,而且无论是什么对话,出现的考题都差不多,而且听 完大概内容后都能找出答案,提示的位置也比较明显。出现概括询问的考题时,得注 意考题的核心语。
2. 概括询问的考题需考虑的重点
u 若想知道是否为询问主题的考题,看核心语就好。
v 一般而言,在对话的前面能听到对话的主题。
w 在对话里与主题一起出现的说法几乎是固定的。
x 若在考题里出现where或who,就可以知道是询问场所与说话者的考题。若听到与场所及说话者直接相关的一两个核心词汇,就可以判断出是在什么场所、什么人。
攻略21 询问对话主题的考题
英语对话是前面出现主题,后面附加叙述。因此,若有询问主题的考题,一定要注意听对话的前半段。
请记住英语对话是先讲主题的,所以在对话的前半部分得特别专心。接着我们来学习快速判断考题是否为询问主题的方法,考试页面上有考题和选项,在此请注意看考题,不需要把全部内容都翻译过来,只要根据核心语来判断该考题是否为询问主题的类型即可。
1. 一般的对话
“在谈什么?”这类的考题就是询问主题的。在短对话里不会出现多种问题,所以“有什么问题?”这类题型也是询问主题的。
第1阶段:看考题 通过核心语来判断考题的类别
1. 若考题里看到以下的单词,就是询问主题的。
topic, discussing, talking about, speakers doing, problem, concerned
2. 对话的主题大部分能在前面听到。
What is the woman’s concern ?
A She cannot meet the deadline.
B She cannot meet Peter.
C She lost his briefcase.
D She lost the budget.
1. What is the topic of this conversation?
出现topic,所以就是询问主题的考题。答案应该在前面。
2. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
出现discussing就是询问主题的考题。请注意听对话的前面部分。
3. What is the conversation mainly about?
“主要关于什么”当然就是询问主题的考题。
4. What problem are the speakers discussing?
询问问题就是询问主题的考题。
若想找到对话里的主题,只要知道与其一起出现的说法就行。另外请记住,与主题相关的说法大部分在对话的前面出现。
