篇1：托福听力2大题型答题技巧要点
托福听力2大题型答题技巧要点汇总 对话讲座这些常识要了解
托福听力对话类考前须知介绍
就对话而言，中国大陆区主要考查的两大类是：教师办公和服务咨询。对话部分长达3分钟左右，语速快，涉及2-3人，因此考生需要适应不同讲话人的口音和语调，冷静耐心，头脑清醒的应对。要做到两项注意。
首先，注意对话未正式开始时的介绍语。如，Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a professor.或Listen to part of a conversation between a student and librarian等。介绍语的信息可以使应试者将注意力缩小至某一主题，如学生咨询住宿情况、教授和学生间的可能性话题。
其次，注意对话的开头部分，快速将信息记下来。一般学生会在简单寒暄后直接讲出谈话主题。
托福听力讲座类考前须知一览
讲座部分占到托福听力内容的三分之二，所占分值70%以上，因此无疑是托福听力的重中之重。课堂讲解反映的是大学课堂的实际情景，其形式可以是老师进行的讲课的独角戏，也可以是师生间的问答。讲课部分听力材料相对较长，生词较多，大家在备考时熟记一些与大学所开课程相关的词，最好按课程分类来记。此外，托福网考是允许做笔记的，所以备考时应养成边听边记笔记习惯。由于讲课部分材料丰富，做笔记是必要的。
首先，要集中精力听开始部分，争取尽快抓住讲课主题。在正式讲课开始前，都会有一个简短介绍，如Listen to a lecture about physics.这句话给讲座提供了一个大的学科方向。大多数讲课都会以开门见山直奔主题的方式，引起大家兴趣。
其次，再抓住主题后，对可能听到的讲座内容进行积极预测。听到开场白后，就要立刻集中精力抓住其关键词和核心概念，然后迅速在记忆中搜寻相关内容信息，激活自己该领域已有知识，积极预测可能听到的信息。
再次，理清讲课展开脉络，抓住内在逻辑关系。抓住关键词和主题，并进行了积极预测，在听的过程中要做两件事：跟上演讲者思路，抓住要点做笔记。总结要点和自己的缩写记号系统。
最后，利用上下文猜测生词词义。因为课堂讲座题材广泛，并有一定学术性，所以不可避免的遇到生词。对此，做好心理准备，不要慌张，乱了阵脚。许多生词后面会有解释，即使听不懂这个词，只要听懂解释就足够了。
控诉市面上所有TPO软件之两大罪状
今天咱们要往深了聊了，你如果已经做过一些托福听力的练习，这篇不读完会吃大亏的!
咱们先来描述一下大部分童鞋做听力的流程(说的就是你)：打开TPO软件，点开一篇文章，先听一遍，做笔记(有些人可能连笔记都不做，这样真的不可取，以后详细跟大家聊笔记的重要性以及怎么记)，做题，对答案(心里骂句街)，再点开看做错了的题的解析...接下来好一点的同学会重新把文章听一遍，糊涂一点的连重听都没有这篇文章就翻篇儿了。
估计九成以上的同学都是这个流程，最后直接导致的结果就是，练了仨月，没有任何长进…三个月前一篇文章错两个，三个月后一篇文章还是错两个(再一次骂街)。其实这些同学从根本上来说思路就是错的：仅仅把TPO材料当成“练习题”。Actually, the TPO materials are much more than mere practices. Instead, we should look at them as a major LEARNING source.
从这些材料当中我们能学什么呢?首先是你的语言能力，具体来说主要是词句能力。上篇文章里强调过，你现在听力差不是因为“不会做题”，就是因为听不懂!而听不懂主要就是单词和句子。这篇文章哪怕你题都蒙对了，还有多少值得积累的单词呀?还有多少你其实完全没听懂甚至都没听到的句子呀?
比如T12L3讲意大利歌剧的那篇文章，其中有一句话：
“Opera originated in Italy, but was not confined to Italy anymore than the Italians were.”
你就算把所有的单词认识了，估计还是弄不明白后半句话是在说啥。Confine的意思是限制束缚，谁束缚谁啊?这儿的Italian是意大利人还是意大利语啊?其实这句话的正确理解是：Italians were not confined to Italy, and Opera was not confined to Italy even more so. 意大利人不局限于生活在意大利，而歌剧更是如此(直译：歌剧比意大利人还不局限于意大利)。
再比如，还是这篇文章，最后的那句话:
“If an extra-terrestrial being were to appear before us and say: “What is your society like? What is this earth thing all about? You could do worse than take that creature to an opera.”
你查了半天单词，弄明白了哦原来extra-terrestrial就是外形人E.T.的意思，但整句话呢?如果一个外星人出现在你面前问你：“你们的社会是怎样的，地球到底是怎么回事儿?You could do worse than take that creature to an opera.” 到底带它看个歌剧是好还是不好?You could do worse是啥意思?
其实很多喜欢看美剧的同学可能听过类似这样的话，两个哥们儿在聊天，聊到了另外一个朋友老王，一个人问另一个人：“老王新找的那个女朋友好看吗?Is LaoWang’s new girl friend pretty?”, 另一个人说：“He could do worse.” 这句话的字面意思是“他可以找个更差的”，“他很有可能找个更差的”，“以我对他的了解他找不了这么好的”。也就是说在这儿He could do worse应该翻译成：他找的这个已经不错了。那么刚才那句外星人的话，重新听一遍的话你会发现，他的意思是带外星人去看歌剧是个不错的方法。
我想给这篇文章起一个抓眼球的题目，于是用了“罪状”这个词。但我想表达的意思是，每个TPO App能帮你做的也只是给你所谓的每道题的解析，让你知道这道题为什么错了。但是你下次还是会做错题，因为根本上你的语言能力没有长进。单词还有多少需要积累?听句子的能力是不是还是很弱?单词即便都认识是不是照样不知道这段话在聊什么?
很多人被这些软件造成的假象蒙蔽了，觉得我把这几道题弄明白就大功告成。但是你忘了这篇文章你第一次听的时候有多懵了吗?你忘了你刚才做题好多都是蒙的吗?这么长的一篇文章，有多少值得你反复听细细积累的好东西啊!
现在市面上鲜有托福软件能做到把所有文章从头到尾讲清楚，包括单词和句子，而这都是同学们需要在长期练习中自己解决的。更有甚者，很多软件里有大量的原文文本和翻译注释都是错的。所以更需要同志们提高自身素质，慧眼不是别人给的，得靠自己练，练好了才能把这个问题看得清清楚楚明明白白真真切切...
类似这样的例子还有太多了。比如T10L1鲸鱼化石的那篇文章，里面的一个很小的句子：“Ambulocetus Natans…That’s a mouthful, eh?” A mouthful这是一个俚语，字面意思是把嘴塞满了，但其实是说这个词这句话有点拗口(有些软件这句话的解释让人哭笑不得)。你想想，咱们这篇文章万一要是出一道题: What does the professor imply when she says this: “That’s a mouthful, eh?” 正确答案应该是：She thinks this is very difficult to pronounce. 我敢说我把几个有误导性的错误选项放在边上估计你很容易就选错了。
这也就引出了咱们下次聊的话题。TPO软件(们)的第一大罪状是整篇文章从语言的角度出发解释得很不够。而第二大罪状在我看来要更严重，就是没有进一步分析这篇文章还能出什么题。一篇Conversation只能出5道题么?Lecture只有6道题么?还有哪儿能出题?什么内容你可以大致听差不多就行了，但什么内容你绝对不允许漏掉?啥内容题可以不考，但你不能不记?

篇2：托福听力考试八大题型答题技巧
1、预测题
预测题是对长对话或讲座结束后将会发生何种事情的猜测的考查。这种目有一个鲜明特征，就是在题干中经常会出现will这个表示将来时态的助动词。预测题常见的提问方式有以下几种：
What will the man do after the conversation?
What will the student include in his assignment?
What kind of assignment will the professor give?
考生在解答预测题时首先要注意，预测题有一个十分常见的情况，就是它的答案一般都出现在一篇录音材料的结尾。同时，预测题的答案在出现时一般都是由讲话人使用一个提出建议的句子来给出。因此，考生只要在文章结尾听到提出建议的句子，一定要将其中所提出的建议记下来，这往往就是预测题的答案。表示建议的常见句型：How about…/What about…/Why not…/Why don’t you…/Would you mind…/Would you please…/I have a suggestion for you./You need to…/You should…/You’d better…
2、推理题
托福听力推理题是让考生根据所听内容进行推理从而选出答案的题型。常见的提问方式包括：
What does the woman imply about the new medical research?
What can we infer from the professor’s comment on the New England system?
在做题时，考生首先需要仔细读清楚选项。因为推理题的答案一般不会在录音材料中给出，而是需要考生对材料内容进行进一步引申，得出更深层次的内容。所以，考生往往只有在读完选项之后才能知道答案对应的内容。同时，推理题虽然考查的是录音材料的细节之处，但是其考查内容还是围绕着全文主题展开的。因此在做题时，考生如果实在不知道选哪一个，那么就可以去选和全文主题最接近的选项，这样的选项大多数都是正确的。
3、重听题
重听题是托福听力题目中一种非常特殊的题型。在这种题目中，讲述人会把录音材料中的一小部分内容重新读一遍，然后让考生根据这段重新听到的内容找出符合要求的选项。在考试中，每道重听题中都会给出一个耳机的图标。其常见的提问方式为：
Listen again to part of the lecture, then answer the question.
What does the professor mean when she says this?
重听题的解题思路比较多样化。有些题目考查所重复段落的含义，有些题目考查段落中某个习惯用语的含义。考生要根据自己所听到的内容，辨别出题人想考查的到底是哪方面的内容。另外，有些重听题中虽然重复了一部分文章内容，但是必须结合重复的内容在录音材料中的上下文去推理才能得出答案。所以考试在做题时要保持清醒的头脑，如果发观从重复的内容中找不到答案，就要立刻回忆，从上下文中去寻找正确答案。
4、是非判断题
是非判断题也是托福考试改革后出现的较为新颖的题型，一般是列出很多与录音材料中所提及的内容较为相似的句子，让考生辨e究竟哪些是录音材料中提到的。以下例题是其常见的出题方式：
The professor discusses how an animal becomes a fossil after its death. Indicate whether each sentence below is a step in the process.
YES/NO
The animal dies.
The hard tissues decompose.
The soft tissues decompose.
The hard tissues remain.
是非判断题多数情况下与细节题考查的内容有类似之处，需要考生多关注录音材料中的细节之处，
资料
是非判断题的YES和NO的答案个数并不是平均分配的，但一般不会出现所有答案全是YES或者NO的情况，考生可以利用这一点，在做题时判断自己的选项是否选得合适。
5、主旨题
主旨题是以录音材料的主旨大意作为考查内容的一种题型。主旨题的考查频率非常高，几乎每篇托福听力的录音材料都会考一道主旨题，有的录音材料甚至会考两道。主旨题常见的提问方式有以下几种：
What is the main idea of this lecture?
What are the two speakers talking about?
Why does the student go to see his professor?
主旨题虽然考查频率高，但是相对来说解题难度并不大。大多数托福听力录音材料的主题都会出现在开头的1-2分钟内，有时主题的关键词或是关键词组在录音中还会被反复提及。考生只要抓住录音开头的内容，就能够解决大多数的托福听力主旨题。除此之外，解答某些主旨题必须将录音材料各段的主题加以归纳，才能够得出全文的主旨。只要考生听懂了每段话的开头几句，这些题目一般解题难度也不会很大。
6、细节题
细节题，顾名思义，就是考查录音材料中细节信息的题型。这是在托福听力所有题型中考查频率最高的一种题型，每篇录音材料平均都会考查3-4道题。这种题目考查的具体内容非常琐碎，时间、数字、回答的内容、列举的内容都能成为细节题的考查对象。要想做好细节题，考生需要对说话人提到的时间、地点、物品名称等多加留意。细节题常见的提问方式有以下几种：
When will the woman go to the lab?
What does the word “anthropologist“ mean? According to the passage, what is the most significant event in 2.000 B.C.?
Why does the critic dislike the ancient style of sculpture?
7、结构题
结构题是以录音材料的行文结构、展开顺序作为考查内容的题型，常见的提问方式有以下几种：
What is the organization of this passage?
How is the lecture organized?
What method does the professor use to develop his idea?
在实际考试中，结构题考得并不多，但是解答起来却令很多考生感觉头疼。因为任何一篇录音材料都不会主动讲出“本文是一种怎样的结构”，因此想从讲述人所说的内容中直接找到答案是很困难的。那么想解答这种题目，考生就需要在复习时熟练掌握托福听力的录音材料有哪几种常见结构，每种结构有什么特征。只有这样，在做题的时候才能够做到有针对性地听题。
8、态度题
态度题是考查说话人对某话题所持的态度的题型。这种题型考查的范围比较广泛，有些题目考查说话人对某人的态度，有些则考查说话人对某事件的态度，还有的题目会考查说话人对某观点的态度。态度题常见的提问方式如下：
What is the professor’s attitude toward the expe rt on the television programme?
在解态度题时，讲话人的语气和语调是一个非常重要的解题因素。在录音中，如果说话人突然出现声音变大、语调降低或者说话重复、结巴等现象，往往都从侧面表明了其对某一事物所持的态度。考生在听到这样的句子时一定要加以辨识。
篇3：托福听力2大重听题型细节介绍
研究分析发现，目的题有两种：一种是与主旨相关的，例如what is the purpose of the talk?这种形式已经在主旨题中有所列举;另外，有些目的题只与部分对话或讲座的内容相关此，类题目主要考察考生对语言交流的实际掌握能力，听出讲话者所呈现的目的。
部分目的题特点：
这类目的题的问题通常问的是某个短语或句子的作用
有些题目需要考生再听一次部分对话或讲座的内容
说话人通常不会直接说出自己的目的，而是用间接的表达
典型提问模式：
Why does the student say this?
Why does the student say ?
Why does the student mention ?
Why does the professor talk about?
Why does the instructor ask the class about ?
篇4：托福听力2大重听题型细节介绍
考生需要判断出说话人对讨论过的人或事的看法或感觉，主要考察考生对语言交流的实际掌握能力，听出讲话者所呈现的态度。
态度题特点：
有些题目需要考生再听一次部分对话或讲座的内容
正确答案往往不是文中的直接表述
说话人的态度通常是影响深刻、高兴、感兴趣、惊讶、焦虑等
典型提问模式：
Select the sentence that best expresses how the student probably feels?
What is the student’s attitude toward ?
What is the speaker’s opinion of ?
What does the professor think of ?
What is the professor’s point of view concerning ?

At the beginning of the century the railroads were used to haul everything. Powerful railroad barons made fortunes without having to be accountable to the public or considerable to the customers. But cars and trucks changed all of that. And by 1970, the rail industry was beset with problems. Trucks were taking all the new business. And even so the rail industry remained indifferent to customers. Also many regulations kept the rail industry from adjusting to shifting market. But in 1980, the rail industry entered the modern era when a deregulation bill was passed that allowed railroad companies to make quick adjustments to fees and practices. Companies reduced their lines by 1/3 and used fewer employees. They also took steps to minimize damage to product. And to increase their shipping capacity by stacking freight containers on railroad cars. To accommodate these taller loads, underpasses and tunnels were enlarged. The image of the rail industry has changed dramatically. Today companies are very responsive to customers and are gaining increasing market shares in the shipping industry. The railroad safety record is also strong. Freight trains have an accident rate that is only 1/3 that of the trucking industry. Trains also come out ahead of the trucks on environmental grounds because they give off only 1/10 to 1/3 the pollution that is emitted by trucks. And railroading does not wear out highways as trucks do.

This coffee can contains soil from my garden. And I prepared slide samples to show you that it is alive. This ordinary backyard dirt is crawling with microbes. Microbes is not a very specific term. There are hundreds of thousands of different species called microbes. What they have in common is that we can't see them with a naked eye. They are microscopic. Look at this slide. You should see some round cells. Those are yeasts . Yeasts are fermenters. And they are necessary for making bread, beer, yogurt and so forth. Now look for an irregular shape with hairs coming out of it. That's a mold. Molds are decomposers, and they are responsible for the decomposition mycoplastlees. You should also see some protozoa. Some protozoa, like the one causes malaria are harmful to people. A microbic that causes disease is called a pathogen. Finally you should see a lot of squiggly lines. They are bacteria. The oldest form of life on earth. Like these other microbes, bacteria are single-cells. But they are even simpler structurally because their cells do not have nuclear. So I've got about a teaspoon of soil in my hand here. In that teaspoon are about ten thousand protozoa, 200 thousand mold cells, a million yeasts, and probably a billion bacteria.

Ten years ago the eccentric cyclist peddling furiously through the first snowstorm of the year was a rare sight often captured on film for the evening news? Today however it is estimated that four to five percent of cyclists bicycle year round. The increased popularity of winter cycling can be attributed to the creation of mountain bike and its subsequent imitations. Outfitted with parts more sturdy than those of yesterday, equipped with their more stable bicycles, nothing seems to stop the new breed of winter cyclist. With streets dry and clear on most winter days, many winter cyclists wear running shoes and protect themselves from cold by wearing down-hill-skiing clothes. On wet days cyclists can wear special water-proof boots over their shoes. But for all of its popularity, there is a down side to winter cycling. Even mountain bikes can't withstand winter snow and rain without extensive upkeep. But one bicycle store owner is in the final stages of developing a year-round bicycle with an innovated complete chain cover. With bicycle chains covered, cyclists would need to clean and oil their chains only once every six months instead of once a week. Despite her invention, however, she still advises cyclists to take a taxi or bus when it snowing heavily. Not because the conditions are too arduous for bicycles but because she believes bikers can't have confidence in the people who drive cars on days of reduced visibility.

In the early 1800s, the paper industry was still using rags as its basic source of fiber as it had for many centuries. However the rag supply couldn't keep up with the growing demand for paper. The United States alone was using 250 thousand tons of rags each year. And a quarter of that had to be imported. It was clear that a new source of fiber was needed to keep up with the demand for paper. The answer to this problem turned out to be paper made from wood pulp, something that was abundantly available in north America. In Canada, the first wood pulp mill was set up in 1866 and it was immediately successful. But while wood pulp solved the problem of quantity it created a problem of quality. Wood contains a substance called lignin. The simplest way to make large quantities of cheap paper involves leaving the lignin in the wood pulp. But lignin is acidic and its presence in paper has shorten the life expectancy of paper from several centuries for rag paper to less than a century for paper made from wood pulp. This means that books printed less than a hundred years ago are already turning yellow and beginning to disintegrate, even though books printed much earlier maybe in fine condition. This is bad enough for the older books on your bookshelf but it poses a huge problem for libraries and the collections of government documents.

A recent report has shown that here in the United States, we've experienced an evolution concerning our attitudes towards the workweek and the weekend. Although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as Sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard Monday as the first day of the week with Saturday and Sunday comprising the two-day period thought as the week-end. In fact the word “weekend” didn't even exist in English until about the middle of last century. In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to have off from their jobs. This innovation became common in the United States in the 1920s, but as the workweek shortened during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the weekend expanded to two full days--Saturday and Sunday. Some people thought that this trend would continue due to increasing automation and the workweek might decrease to four days or even fewer. But so far this hasn't happened. The workweek seems to have stabilized as forty hours made up of five eight-hour days. After this commercial I'll be back to talk about the idea of adding Monday to the weekend.

I don't think I have told you about my trip to Tanglewood's music festival. When I was in college, I won a music competition and the prize was a week at Tanglewood. Anyway it is one of the world's most famous music festivals and the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It is located in the beautiful Berkshire Hills in New England. The summer musical season consists of about fifty concerts given over about nine weeks: from July 1st through the first week in September. The biggest stars on the music scene appear here. The year I went I was lucky enough to see Leonard Bernstein conducting. I understand it is sometimes hard to get tickets but of course mine were a part of the prize. If you want to sit inside the tickets are expensive. It's much cheaper to sit outside on the lawn. But it
might rain, or some nights are really cool even in the summer. Either way the sound system is excellent. So it doesn't really matter where you sit. I seem to recall that the festival got started in the 1930s. Some Berkshire residents invited a symphony orchestra to perform a few outdoor concerts. The concerts were so successful that after a couple of years somebody donated a family estate as a permanent home. After that things really took off. And the festival has gotten bigger and better every year. Attending was such a wonderful experience. I'd love to be able to go again. And I hope that all of you would be able to go too.
篇5：托福听力2大难点易错题型详解
task：How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
托福备考之独立写作满分范文：
The Influence of Television and Movies
There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.
篇6：托福听力对话讲座2大题型考点细节
托福听力对话讲座2大题型考点细节汇总整理
出题点1：开头—对应全文主旨题
这一考点基本上大家都知道，主旨题就是第一题，差不多只有三种问法：
1. What's the main purpose of the lecture?
2. What does the conversation/lecturemainly about?
3. Why does the student go to see theprofessor?
主旨题对应的句子在听力内容的开头部分，大约2-3句话。
在conversation中，一般情况下professor会先跟学生闲聊，比如问一下最近参加的某某的活动怎么样，上次考试的感觉如何等等，这些都是与主旨无关的，直到学生自己讲到I come to see you because I have a problem/question that...这之类的话，这时候就要注意听，拿笔开始记了，学生所讲到的就是全文的主旨。
在lecture中，professor一般会先回顾上节课所学的内容，会讲一大段，这些都是无用信息，完全不用听，一般是Last class we talked about/discussed/focused on...这个部分教授要么是讲得很快，要么是专业术语特别多。重点在后面，当讲到today we will continue/shift to/focus on..., 这里就要开始记录了，professor开始讲这节课要学的内容了。
出题点2：结尾—对应倒数第2、第3题
ETS非常喜欢在结尾出题，就是进度条快走到头的时候，这时候千万别松懈。美国人一贯总分总逻辑结构，开头结尾都是非常重要的。
在conversation结尾，通常学生会提到他下面要做的事，这里很容易出个题，就问学生下一步会去做什么，这里要是没听到就只能靠猜的了，不过还好，大多数情况通过推理还是能选出正确选项的。
在lecture中，结尾就没那么简单了。一篇lecture大概5-6分钟，是节选一节课的内容，所以结尾处的时候课堂还在继续，教授仍旧在讲新的内容，不像conversation学生已经跟老师说拜拜了。因此这里要多加注意
出题点3：出现强调句型or形容词最高级—对应细节题
听到professor用强调句型的时候就绝对要注意了，例如
This is the first time…
One thing important is…
You should remember/notice/keep in mindthat…
这种句型后面强调的一定是重点，考的几率非常大，必须做笔记。同样，用到形容词最高级，比如the biggest, the most important之类的词语时也很重要。这些地方一般会出细节题，就是问你一些重要的信息。没有一定出题方式，根据不同听力内容变化。
出题点4：针对上下文明显的肯定或否定回答—对应态度题
态度题一般的问法是：
What does the professor/student’s attitudetowards…?
What doesthe professor/student think of…?
问到老师或学生对于某件事的态度时，我们要去听的就是一些否定或者肯定的回答。在absolutely或者definitely这种较为绝对的词语出现的时候要多加小心。这种词往往是教授在表明自己的态度的时候用到的。但是在一些情况下，老师和学生在表明态度的时候也不会用到这些词，这就要求我们多注意一下他们对于一些observation或theory的评价了。
出题点5：跑题的内容—对应imply题
其实就是professor讲了些与本节课或本次谈话无关的东西，或者是转移话题，比如wait, why don’t we first…? 或者开玩笑说了一句什么什么话，反正是与主题不搭的内容，此处可能会考imply题。
以上就是小编为大家介绍的托福听力讲座和对话中出题点对应的不同题型细节，上述内容大家如果能够有所了解，相信在做听力时就能更为轻松地把握住出题点信息应对好各种题型了。
托福听力内容主旨题Tips
内容主旨题在一套完整的托福听力试卷里面(2对话+4讲座)占的比重很大，4篇讲座的第一题不说，连本来第一题应该是目的主旨题的对话文本也时不时被换成了内容主旨题，以至于该题型在34道托福听力题里面占了4到5题，那就是超过10%的比重了。所以对很多托福听力志在20甚至25分以上的童鞋来说，这几道内容主旨题是不能有任何闪失的。希望下面两种解题思路能够提高同学们做这个题型时的正确率。
顾名思义，假设+排除就是这个思路的两大核心，那么在做题的时候具体细化则可以分为下面几步：
i. 找出各选项关键词
分析、定位选项关键词这一步其实不单止内容主旨题，在做其他题型的题目的时候也是需要的。那么选项里面什么样的信息才能够叫做“关键词”呢?这个又可以分为三类：名词(组)、类比动词、疑问词引导从句。拿TPO24 Lecture4--金星上的盾火山的第一题举个栗子：
What is the lecture mainly about?
A. Conclusions about the surface of Venus drawn from recent observations
B. The different types of volcanoes that have been found on Venus
C. Similarities between geologic processes on Venus and
on other planets
D. New methods used to observe the surface of Venus
这里面每个选项都包含几个名词或名词词组，那么它们全部都是关键的么?这就未必了。先拿选项A说说，这里面有三个名词(组)：Conclusions、Surface of Venus、Observations。因为Conclusion后面跟了个介词About，所以Surface of Venus和Observation按照意思都是从属于Conclusions的修辞成分，Conclusion是这个选项的关键词。以此类推，B、C、D选项的关键词分别是：Types of Volcanoes、Similarities、Methods。
选项关键词还有一种情况是类比动词，即有些题型在设置上四个选项开头都是 to do sth的结构，这时候大家要留意每个动词。拿TPO29 Lecture4--纳米管和轨道电梯的第一题举个例子：
What is the main purpose of the lecture?
A. To help students understand what is required to launch a satellite
B. To describe new materials now being used to explore space
C. To describe a potential technology for space exploration
D. To show how ideas from science fiction often develop into actual technologies
显而易见，四个选项的关键词分别是Help...understand、Describe、Describe、Show。
ETS在设置选项关键词的时候经常会通过疑问词引导从句来入手，比如说上一道题里面的D选项里的“How ideas from science fiction often develop into actual technologies”。那么“How”引导的从句主要描述对象一般是一个“过程或方法”，所以这个地方我们要把它当作信息量很大的一个词组来看待--“科幻小说里面的想法如何一步步变成现实技术的过程”。其他常见的疑问词引导从句及其对应主要描述对象还有：
“What”引导的后面跟“特点或细节”
“Why”引导的后面跟“原理或由来”
“Which”引导的后面跟“选择(2个或以上选项)”
“Whether”引导的后面跟“抉择(A或B)、(是或否)”
定位好选项关键词后咱们就可以接下来做下一步了。
ii. 寻找选项破绽
很多时候ETS在设计各种听力题型(包括但不局限于内容主旨题)的时候，会“粗心”地在一些选项细节上露出破绽，一旦我们发现这些小小破绽，就可以把整个选项给排除掉从而提高做题的成功率。所以大家审题的时候需要注意选项里的两个东西：名词单复数、时间(态)。继续拿TPO24 Lecture4--金星上的盾火山的第一题举个栗子：
What is the lecture mainly about?
A. Conclusions about the surface of Venus drawn from recent observations
B. The different types of volcanoes that have been found
on Venus
C. Similarities between geologic processes on Venus and
on other planets
D. New methods used to observe the surface of Venus
B选项里面的关键词是“Types of volcanoes”。那么如果听完这篇全文后我们会或多或少记得，文章里有讲到地球上面的火山可以分很多类，而相反的，金星上面只有一种火山--盾火山，那么“Types”这里的“s”复数就把这个选项给卖了。同样道理，C选项里面有三个复数名词：Similarities、Processes、Planets。前两个貌似不好判断其原文对应的单复数，所以咱们可以欺软怕硬地先略过。至于第三个“Planets”，原文里面由头到尾出现过的星球除了地球和金星完全没有第三个，所以这里小小的“s”也把整个选项给卖了。
至于第二个选项破绽“时间(态)”，咱们可以拿TPO29 Lecture4--纳米管和轨道电梯的第一题再举个例子：
What is the main purpose of the lecture?
A. To help students understand what is required to launch a satellite
B. To describe new materials now being used to explore space
C. To describe a potential technology for space exploration
D. To show how ideas from science fiction often develop into actual technologies
其中A和D选项没有太明显的时间表达故而略过。B选项的话，可以看到里面包含了“New materials now being used to explore space”。这里的“New material”很明显指的是文章讨论的主角Carbon nanotube--纳米管，“Explore space”指的是文章里面提到的轨道电梯。这里如果如选项里面的“Now being used”所提示的话，那么稍微了解点航天和物理学科知识的童鞋会意识到，这可是跨时代的大事啊!人类现在用纳米管建成轨道电梯的话，就可以不用那么费事的每次花费巨资发射航天器进入太空，而是舒舒服服地用轨道电梯把航天器运到近地轨道零重力环境下再发射了。可是这等轰动全球的大事有听说过么?故而可以果断排除之。
与之形成鲜明对比的C选项里面的 “Potential technology” ，就说明了这项技术还没成型但有希望会被用上，明显比B选项靠谱。
接下来就是第三步：
iii. 假设选项场景
这时候我们叒要拿TPO29 Lecture4--纳米管和轨道电梯的第一题举个例子了：
What is the main purpose of the lecture?
A. To help students understand what is required to launch a satellite
B. To describe new materials now being used to explore space
C. To describe a potential technology for space exploration
D. To show how ideas from science fiction often develop into actual technologies
因为时间有问题，所以首先B选项可以排除掉了，那么先找到剩下三个选项的关键信息：
A选项--“what is required to launch a satellite”。假设如果真的主要是讲“关于发射卫星所需要的条件”的话，那么这篇文章会以并列结构展开论述，并出现出现诸如“条件一”、“条件二”、“条件三”这样的信息;
D选项-“how ideas from science fiction often develop into actual technologies”。假设如果真的主要是讲“科幻小说里面的主意如何发展成现实里的技术”的话，那么这篇文章会以直线发展结构展开论述，并出现类似“一开始是什么idea”，“这个idea如何引起外界的重视”，“外界做了什么尝试来把这个idea在现实世界里复刻”，“最后结果怎么样”这样的信息。
接下来的第四步是最简单，但是对一些同学来说也是最难的一步。
iv. 排除选项
之所以最简单，因为这里只需要基于第三步针对每个选项的假设来问自己一个问题：“真的有这种信息么?”。再加上文章刚听完，大家对文章的记忆还比较新鲜热辣，所以一般来讲对文本内容印象还是深刻的;之所以最难，因为如果一些同学基本的听力理解不达标、听记的时候走神了，从而在自己的脑记和笔记里无法勾勒出文章的结构、由头到尾讨论的主题、分段大意，在这里还是会出问题的。
总而言之，针对上面这道题而言，用了假设排除法之后，可以发现A、D选项的意思和原文出入很大。只有C选项是相对其他三个而言最靠谱的。
托福备考经验：突破听力瓶颈我是怎么做的
成绩刚出来那阵，我就写过一篇回顾总结。过了几个星期，当我浏览自己写的总结，发现这跟我第一次接触托福时看到的经验指南如出一辙。在这么长的时间里，这些经验不断地出现，但我从来也没认真地考虑过。
每次，我都会这么想：“每个人方法都不一样，别人的经验跟我有什么关系。”但有时候人就是贱贱的，非要自己作死几遍才能懂得这些明摆的道理。
当我的听力从高中听力提升到托福20分的水平，我就陷入了一个漫长的误区：记录足够的细节=听懂了文章。
翻看这段时间的草稿纸，我的所有记录都是支离破碎的，没有结构，没有主次。
虽然看起来信息量很大，但实际运用到解题中，细枝末节的单词其实并没什么帮助。在这个阶段，好不容易听懂一个单词我都很会激动地把它完整地写在纸上，一边沾沾自喜但却同时错失了随后的信息点。这种笔记方法导致的结果就是但凡涉及到文章结构，主旨的题目我都错的惨不忍睹，每当我看见主旨题的四个选项，我都会怀疑…这真的是我刚刚听的lecture吗…
在很长一段时间里，我一直把原因盲目地归结于单词，从来没想过会是文章逻辑结构的问题。尤其是听力考出了16的炸天分数，我对自己的听力水平懵逼到了极点。
学习趣事
抛开听力练习的方法，我只想谈一谈作为一个学生是如何被新东方老师成功洗脑的。
起初我并没有太在意我的听力，第一次考试听力20，还是个说得过去的分数。但就在我一心一意提高阅读的时候，听力却考出了彩蛋式的16。当我把这个分数汇报给我的班主任和听力老师，她俩陷入了长时间的沉默。人在巨大的懵逼之后，往往会选择逃避。在这次出分之后，我对听力问题都避而不谈，直到班主任533把我甩给了曹虹老师。
我从见到曹虹老师的第一眼起，就坚定地认为她很像奇葩说的马薇薇，也导致我第一堂课不停地跳戏。曹虹老师比我想象的要严厉，每次的“影子跟读”作业都让我精力憔悴。我也说不清这种“影子跟读”对听力到底有什么帮助，但高强度和高难度的练习让我在面对题目时有了一些底气。以前我总是虚得很，就算做对的题目也都是连蒙带猜，现在却空前地有理有据。
怀着这份好不容易建立的信心，我参加了TPO49的模考。华丽地考了个18。我又开始了无尽的惆怅。
考前几天，指导老师冯海燕找我谈话。推开门，冯海燕老师背对着我趴在桌上。偌大的4楼自习室，只有我和她两个人。她花了几十分钟告诉我一件事，“你的听力没问题。只是做题想太多。”这句话颠来倒去，重复了不下二十遍。在这之后，她迅速趴在桌上接着睡觉，好像刚刚都是我的幻觉。
几天后的考试，听力24。一个月后的考试，听力25。这对我来说已经是个很神奇的分数了。
后来，我在富广的电梯里看见了冯海燕和曹虹老师拎着包，站在一起。我恨不得当场跪拜一下两位神婆。
托福听力里的“别人”怎么办
备考托福的童鞋们都知道，每篇Conversation都是一男一女在对话，聊的话题多集中在学术论文、图书馆、课程注册或是校园生活类的场景。虽然场景不同会带来词汇、句子内容上的一些变化，但是基本上来说Conversation是有很明确的“套路”的。大家有没有发现，每当两人对话的时候，聊到另外的一个“别人”或者一些“别人”，经常会在这个地方出一道题。最常见的“别人”无外乎某个老师(Professor/Teacher)、某个导师(Advisor/Chair/Instructor)、同学朋友(classmate/roommate/friend/student)、甚至某个家人(Parents/Brother/Cousin)等等。
我平常上课的时候会一再强调听力文章里“例子”的重要性，但这里说的例子绝不仅限于for example/instance、such as/like之类的，决定一个东西是不是例子不能只依赖所谓的“提示词”，因为没几个例子是真会说到for example这样的话的。大家一定要从内容上出发，扩大对于“例子”概念的理解，你会发现其实某个人、某个地方、某个东西、某种动物、一个故事、一个段子、某个经历都可以当成例子，而对于这样的例子考试经常会出一道题：Why does the professor mention/discuss/introduce .X?
上过我课的同学一定有印象，我们在课上会专门练习“抓例子”的能力，每次听到例子的时候让大家养成下意识的习惯，在笔记里用 ~ 这个符号标出来，听完文章甚至在做题之前我就会问大家刚才听到了几个例子?有人在笔记里找到两个~符号，有人找到三个，接下来做题的时候你会发现大部分例子都能对应一道题，而没有考出来的我则会给大伙儿加一道例子题。
我们今天聊的Conversation里的“别人”，就是一个非常有特点的考点， 我们也把它归类到咱们的“例子”里，因为是个“人”嘛。下次听Conversation听到了老王老张老刘，可不能再忽略了，一定要用心听清楚当时聊的是什么，最好能用很少的词把这个例子涉及到的话题简单记下来(一定不能写得太多，写字太多的话会影响听本身，最好的笔记永远是字少但是信息抓得准，笔记起到的是辅助记忆的作用，不能因为记笔记而妨碍了听力本身，这样就得不偿失了)。
给大家找几个托福里比较有代表性的“别人”，咱们看看这些题都长什么样：
托福Conversation 2:
Student: The section on dialects, ‘cause…like, that’s the kind of thing that’s always sort of intrigued me, you know? … Well, especially now, ‘cause I’ve got like one roommate who is from the south and another one from New York. And we all talk like totally different, you know?
Why is the student interested in learning more about dialects?
A. she often has trouble understanding what other students are saying
B. she is trying to change the way she speaks
C. she is aware that her own dialect differs from those of her roommates
D. she spent her childhood various places where different dialects are spoken
正确答案：C
托福Conversation 2:
Student: …My chair person told me that if I did independent field research in addition to the assigned work in each course; they would count as intermediate level courses. My classmates, um, some of my classmates, did this for an easy way to meet their intermediate course requirement, but I did it to get the kind of depth in those topics I was going for….
Why does the man mention his classmates?
A. To explain how he obtained information about field research
B. To point out that many students like to do field research
C. To show that it is difficult to get intermediate-level credits
D. To emphasize his motivation to do filed research in two of his courses
正确答案：D (这道题从考点来看的话又是“别人”，又是别的同学跟自己的“对比”)
托福Conversation 2:
L: Actually, you need to return it today. That is if you want to check out those books today. That's our policy.
S: Oh, I didn't know that.
L: Yeah, not a lot of people realize that. In fact, every semester we get a few students who have their borrowing privileges suspended completely because they haven't returned books. They're allowed to use books only in the library. They're not allowed to check anything out because of unreturned books.
What is the woman trying to explain when she mentions students who have lost their borrowing privileges?
A. Why the man should not photocopy part of the book
B. The reasons for one of the library’s policies
C. What will happen if the man does not return the book
D. The reason the man has to fill out a form
正确答案：C
托福Conversation 2:
Student: Okay. Here’s what happened. Um…I think my professor really miscalculated. Anyway the syllabus was way too ambitious in my opinion. There’re only 2 weeks of classes left in the semester and there are like 6 books on the syllabus that we haven’t even touched.
Why is the professor not going to discuss the book by Jane Bowles in the class?
A. There is not enough time left in the semester
B. Not all of the students were able to get a copy of the book
C. The professor miscalculated the difficulty level of the book
D. The book was not on the course syllabus
正确答案：A
托福Conversation 2:
Secretary: I don’t know how they work over there, ‘cause they couldn’t even figure out whose information was missing. And this isn’t the first time. Seems like something like this happens every semester.
What does the woman imply about the people who work in the payroll office?
A. They did not realize that they had a problem.
B. They are rather disorganized.
C. They had tried to contact the man several times.
D. They prefer to process checks manually.
正确答案：B
有点感觉了吧?每次聊到所谓“别人”的信息的时候都是一道题。如果你能在记笔记的时候非常简单的记下这个信息的话(如果内容非常简单的话哪怕不动笔写下来，用耳朵抓住，用脑子记也可以)，肯定能帮助你做题。
当然了， 回到我前几篇文章的老套路，就是教大家去“猜题”。咱们既然已经确定“别人”是一道题了，做题的时候如果发现这个地方没有出题，那咱在精听的时候就给自己加一道。
举些例子，TPO8 Conversation 1里提到了学生的导师(chair), TPO 9 Conversation 2里提到了学生的一个教授(professor), TPO15 Conversation 2里提到的女孩的弟弟和父母，TPO 5 Conversation 1里提到了学生的室友(roommate)...还有无数这样的“别人”都没有考出来题，大家返回去重听的时候一定要重视起来。不过也别担心，只要能把提到这个别人时聊的话题都差不多听懂，这个题哪怕真考出来也难不倒大家的。
托福要靠语言能力，听懂的多自然做对题就多。咱们聊的考试套路都是辅助的工具而已。
篇7：托福听力2大难点易错题型详解
task：It has been said, ”Not everything that is learned is contained in books.“ Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
托福备考之独立写作满分范文：
Book Knowledge vs Experience
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.
篇8：托福听力2大难点易错题型详解
task：Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
托福备考之独立写作满分范文：
The Advantages of Saving Money
Everyone must work to live, but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need. What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire, I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.
By saving money, people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the future; perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition, saving money allows people to build up a larger sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can but if they spend the money right away. For example, they may be able to buy a house with their savings. Finally, the practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives.
Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives. We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot afford right now.
