托福听力细节题的定义
托福听力考试题目类型中,细节题也是考试的重要题型。因此我们在复习备考中,也需要重点来备考这部分的内容。今天我们就重点来讲解一些托福细节题的定义。。
首先我们来了解一下托福听力细节题正确答案的特点,一般来说包括以下四点:
synonym同义词替换
paraphrase句子改写
consistent和主旨内容保持一致
objective科学客观
而相对应的干扰项特点一般是:exactly the same 有若干词和原文一样,但整体句意不同、inconsistent 和主旨内容差别太大、incongruous 信息不同步、subjective主观极端。
把握住正确选项和干扰项的大致特征对我们正确解题会大有裨益。接下来我们需要了解一下托福听力官方对细节的限定:
-important – directly or indirectly related to the main ideas-providing elaboration, examples and support-sometimes related to a long digression
我们通过官方这个定义可以发现,托福听力材料中细节的作用是展开和支持,它的意义是依附于上下文语境存在的,或是对概念的解释和说明,或是具体事例的补充,如:effects:产生了影响-- 具体影响的方面definition:给了个定义 -- 具体的例子和特征consequence:导致的结果 -- 具体的结果problem:存在的问题 -- 具体的问题
一般而言,托福听力细节题的处理有三大步骤:抓住主旨;确定细节出现的位置;理解细节前后的信息。听的过程中,我们思考和记录的不是具体数字是多少,地点在哪里,或者人名的拼写,而是思考教授举例想要说明什么,例子前后的分析都是什么。
下面我们来看几道例题。
