点击查看你的托福听力段位!青铜还是王者?
喜欢玩游戏的小伙伴们,对游戏段位一定不陌生。有的玩家虽然手速快,操作强,却怎么也上不了分。而有的玩家虽然操作一般,却凭借对游戏策略、大局的理解,轻松上王者。
如果托福听力有段位 ,你会属于哪位级别呢?
是英语硬实力强,啥啥能听懂但是就做不对题?还是英语基础一般,但凭借着对托福听力Lecture出题思路脉络的正确把握,听懂百分之六七十却能拿高分?
我们曾经讲过一篇关于Italian Futurism的Lecture。托福考场上Futurism也是艺术类的常客了,小编在考场上就遇到过两次。接下来我们就以这篇听力为例,给大家展示一下,不同听力段位的同学听到Lecture的内心OS是怎样的~
先我们先看一小段Lecture文稿:
Listen to part of a lecture in a theater history class.
Professor: In many ways, the early 20th century was an exciting time in European theater and in the arts and society in general. New technology, new machines like the telephone and innovations like electricity, all this had an influence on the arts and artists at the time.
In fact, it spawned an important movement we now call Italian futurism. We formally date the start of this movement to 1909, when one of its founders, an Italian writer, published a manifesto, a declaration of the movement’s ideals on purpose.
青铜段位内心OS:
futurism什么玩意?manifesto又是个啥?20世纪?对了,貌似还听到了欧洲。这篇好多生词啊,不管了先笔记记下来再说。
点评:
遇到不会的专有名词就开始发慌,同时迫切地想在纸上写下来的同学们,万年青铜属于你!托福GRE考试中数字不值钱,不值钱!千万别觉得写下来会对后面的题目有帮助,这些记下来的内容其实只是对你自己的安慰剂:记下来的永远是自己听懂的,没听懂的要么没记,要是记的是鬼画符,只会扰乱你的心情和节奏。对于这类同学,要想离开青铜的解药便是解放双手,不记笔记。
白银段位内心OS:
我知道futurism听不懂没关系,专有名词后面肯定是有解释的,原来是一个movement!
原文:Italian futurism. We formally date the start of this movement manifesto是个什么呢?
它的同义词是declaration!原文:manifesto, a declaration of the movement’s ideals on purpose.
点评:
这类同学已经摆脱了记笔记的坏习惯,遇到专有名词也不会慌乱。他们知道,在这篇听力中可能会遇到几个不会的单词也没关系,耐心期待后面的解释就对了。
对他们来说,听力就像看一幅印象主义画作,考虑的是观者对画作的整体感受,而不去关注那些细枝末节。
下面,我们再来看后面的层次:
Female Student: That Italian futurism? It was a hundred years ago!
Professor: Well, futurism doesn't refer so much to a set time as to an artistic approach, artistic ideals.
So unlike, say neoclassicism, Italian futurism didn't look to the past for inspiration. Neoclassic artists look to the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, but futurists didn't like tradition or the concept of great art and things like that.
Futurists were interested in new things, like the speed of the new technology that was coming about in the early 20th century. And the futurists wanted their art to reflect this new society that they saw all around them.
黄金段位内心OS:
专有名词neoclassicism出现了两次很重要,以ETS的尿性,应该会出【why does the professor mention Neoclassicism?】这样的目的题。
点评:
黄金段位的同学,已经开始展露主动出题的思维,还会辨别出哪些专有名词(neoclassicism)极易成为考点,而哪些专有名词只是走过场。那些出现两遍的专有名词,容易在之后的题目中作为题干出现,而且经常会考目的题。
黄金段位的同学听到专有名词出现两遍之后,条件反射的三连动作就是,模拟专有名词的发音,听第二遍的解释,主动预测出题。
事实上,如果你到了黄金段位,
那么基本上就达到了听力28+的水平了。
下面我们来看看最强王者段位的听力选手是如何表现的!
最强王者段位一边玩手,一边内心OS:
这层废话有的多啊,总结下来不就是,为了凸显futruism的特点,ETS故意拉出来neoclassicism,说它喜欢旧,然后强调futurism喜新厌旧么?ETS太善良了!
点评:
对于王者段位,他们主动抓取内容重要信息的能力已经达到了极致,他们可以轻松听出ETS的善意,迅速在脑子中无意义重复的内容的删减, 他们知道,只要下一句中没有出现转折,本质上这一句就是对上一句中信息的同义解释,因此能达到觉得Lecture里“怎么都是废话”的境界。
在王者段位同学眼里,这篇Lecture是这样的:
Female Student: That Italian futurism? It was a hundred years ago!
Professor: Well, futurism doesn't refer so much to a set time as to an artistic approach, artistic ideals.
So unlike, say neoclassicism, Italian futurism didn't look to the past for inspiration. Neoclassic artists look to the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, but futurists didn't like tradition or the concept of great art and things like that.
Futurists were interested in new things, like the speed of the new technology that was coming about in the early 20th century. And the futurists wanted their art to reflect this new society that they saw all around them.
仅仅预测出题已经不再是挑战。
对于他们来说,这个阶段的训练已经是“这篇Lecture我可不可以改成综合口语/写作?”
这种高阶的各科目联动练习。
到这里,同学们是否对自己的听力段位,有了更清晰的了解?托福听力上分其实如游戏一样,基础好,操作强,你的段位也不一定高,更关键的是你是否有“策略”,有大局观。
