在托福听力考试中,涉及说话人态度的题目常会给考生造成困扰。想要做好态度题,下面小编就和大家分享托福听力中的说话人态度如何判断,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。
托福听力中的说话人态度如何判断?
判断态度先看语音语调
听力中升调分为两种:直升调和转升调。直升调一般表示疑问;转升调一般表示担心,忧虑,疑惑,极度怀疑。句子以升调结尾,一般来讲,大多数情况下表达如下三种情感:1 确认信息 2质疑(惊讶)态度 3 期待得到更多话题相关信息。一般来讲,出现频率的高低是:信息确认最多;其次是期待得到更多话题相关信息;再次是质疑(惊讶)态度。
特定词语也具有引导作用
Now、OK、So、Well这些词用在听力文章中的段首时,往往伴随着非常强烈明显的语调。这种情况在国外真实上课环境中也是经常能遇到的。教授在深入讲解一个话题之后,为了转换到下一话题,老师往往会用NOW这样的词去唤醒学生的注意(或者唤醒已经睡着的学生)。语调的变化往往意味着话题的转变,也意味着课程内容的变化。所以说,这类词出现的时候,往往是承上启下,开启新话题的标志。这类词之后的内容一定是至关重要,与考点直接相关的。
遇到惊讶诧异态度短语注意重听题
比较典型的此类表达有:My god, Jesus。但是事实上,这类表达在真题中出现概率并不大,考的也很少,相比而言,类似于wow和Oops这样的更加隐蔽的情感表达更容易被设题,也更容易被学生所忽略。具体练习方式,可参看我的“五遍听力法”。
从反义疑问句读法中找线索
在我们接受的传统教育中,老师往往会让学生以疑问句的方式读出反义疑问句。换言之,反义疑问句是升调结束。但是事实上,很多时候,老外也会用降调方式去说反义疑问句。我在留学期间,经常听见教授上课时用反义疑问区表达特别肯定的情感。比如:“油跟水是不相容的,不是嘛?”如果这样一句英文用降调读出来,听来就特别像是:“油跟水是不相容的,没错吧?”托福作为语言能力测试,必然会如实反映老外说话的习惯。所以当听力原文中,反义疑问句用降调说出,老师特别期待学生给出肯定的回答。
说话者单词读音拉长有玄机
教授讲课将单词拉长音的情况,大多数可以归纳为以下三种概念:1启发(鼓励)学生回答。2 自问自答。 3 表示强调。拉长音单词虽然与可能出现试题无太大直接关系,但是之后出现信息往往是与考点直接相关信息。所以长音单词是笔记内容要点的重要提示。

The winds of a tornado are the most violent and destructive ones on Earth.
龙卷风是地球上最猛烈和最具破坏性的风。
Any of you who have seen one knows very well how frightening and powerful they are.
任何看见过龙卷风的人都非常了解他们是多么令人恐惧和强大。
What's interesting about them is that scientists don't actually know exactly why tornadoes occur.
关于它们有意思的是科学家事实上并不确切地知道龙卷风为什么发生。
We do know, however, what happens when tornadoes are formed.
然而,我们的确知道,当龙卷风形成时发生了什么。
As you remember, a front occurs when cool, dry air from the north meets warm, humid air coming from the south, from the Gulf of Mexico, for tornadoes in the United States.
正如你们所记得的,当来自北方的凉爽干燥的空气遇到来自南方,来自墨西哥湾的温暖湿润的空气,会出现一个峰,形成在美国的龙卷风。
Where these air masses meet, a narrow zone of storm clouds develops, and thunderstorms, and sometimes tornadoes, occur.
在这些气团相遇的地方,一个狭窄的暴风雨云团地带形成了,还有雷暴,以及有时会发生龙卷风。
How is this violent weather produced?
这种猛烈的天气是如何产生的?
Well, a mass of warm, humid air rises very rapidly.
好,大量的暖湿空气上升非常快。
As it rises, more warm air rushes in to replace it.
当它上升时,更多的温暖空气冲进来顶替它。
This inrushing air also rises, and in some cases, especially when there is extreme thermal instability, begins to rotate.
这种冲进来的空气同样上升,在某种情况下,尤其当有极度的热不稳定性时,(空气)开始旋转了。
When this happens, the rotating air forms a tornado.
当这事儿发生时,旋转着的空气形成了龙卷风。
Even if you've seen tornadoes only in movies, you know that they can demolish buildings in seconds.
即使你只在电影里见过龙卷风,你(也会)知道它们能短时间内毁坏建筑物。
This is possible because when a tornado passes over a house, it sucks up air from around the house and so the air pressure outside the house drops rapidly.
这是可能的,因为当龙卷风经过一间房屋,它吸走了房子周围的空气,因此房屋外面的气压下降很快。
Inside, pressure remains the same.
在内部,气压保持原来(的水平)
So, air pressure inside is greater than air pressure outside.
所以,内部的气压高过于外部的气压
The result is that the building explodes outward.
结果是建筑物向外爆炸
Next, we'll talk a little bit about how new technological developments are being used to try to predict tornadoes.
接下来,我们将谈一点关于新的技术发展正在被应用于预测龙卷风。

At last month's meeting you asked me to draw up a report about the possibility of keeping the student center open twenty-four hours a day.
在上个月的会议上你们要求我起草一个报告,关于保持学生中心每天24小时开放的可能性。
I decided that the best way to assess the need for expanded hours was to talk to the people who were still in the student center at closing time.
我判断评估增加小时数的需求的最好方法是与在关闭时间依然在学生中心里面的人谈谈。
First, over the course of the two weeks, I interviewed more than fifty students as they left the student center at its regular closing time of twelve midnight.
首先,在过去两周的进程中,我面谈了超过五十名同学,当他们在通常的午夜12点的关闭时间离开学生中心时。
About eighty percent of them said they would prefer that the center stay open later.
他们中的大约百分之八十说,他们更喜欢中心保持开放更晚些。
Of the three main uses of the center—eating in the snack bar, recreation in the game room or watching TV, and studying by far the most popular late night activity is—and this may surprise you—studying.
中心的三大用途——在快餐部吃东西,在娱乐室消遣或看电视,以及学习,目前为止最普遍的深夜活动是——这也许会让你们很惊讶——学习。
Almost all of the people I talked to said that their main reason for being in the center after ten p.m. was to study in groups or to find a quiet place to study because their dorm was too noisy.
和我谈过的几乎所有的人都说,他们晚上10点之后呆在中心的主要原因是小组学习或者是找一个安静的地方学习,因为他们的宿舍太喧闹了。
Of course, many of these people used the snack bar or TV room for breaks.
当然,许多这些人使用快餐部或者电视房来休息。
My recommendation is that we ask the administration to keep the center open after midnight for studying.
我的建议是我们要求管理部门在午夜后保持中心开放用来学习。
The recreation room and snack bar can still close at the usual time.
娱乐室和快餐部依旧在通常的时间关闭。
This should meet the objection that it costs too much to staff the center from midnight to eight a.m., which I'm sure will be the first response.
这应该符合异议,就是从午夜到上午8点给中心配备工作人员成本太高,这点我肯定会是第一个反应。
