省时高效,轻松攻克雅思听力时态关
说到雅思听力中的时态问题,同学们可能会“望而生畏”。一个在中文中没有的概念,在英语里却有16种时态区别。对于这两种语言上的差别,看都看不过来,更不用说听了。不过大家也不用太过担心,在雅思听力当中的时态考点,只考3种区别,也就是过去,现在,将来3种时态。简单地说,考点就在于“过去有的”,“现在已有”,“将来会有”,大家只要把3种时态相关信号词掌握即可。
下面举两个例子
例1:剑桥真题8,test3,section 1的第9-10题。
Which TWO facilities in the district of Devon Close are open to the public at the moment?
A.museum
B.concert hall
C.cinema
D.sports centre
E.swimming pool
当看到这个题干的时候,大家就应该注意到,题目的考点即时态,关键词“at the moment”也就是选择与“现在”相对应的选项。
录音原文如下:
Man:Why’s that part of town so popular?
Woman:Well,there’s a big scheme to improve the district,and it’ll soon have the best facilities for miles around.
Man:What sort of thing?
Woman:There is a big sports center under construction,which will be very impressive when it’s finished.In fact the swimming pool’s already opened ahead of schedule,and it’s attracting a lot of people.
Man:What about cinemas:are there are any in the area?
Woman:The only one closed down last year,and it’s now in the process of being converted into a film museum.The local people are trying to get a new cinema added to the scheme..
Man:I think I hear something about a plan to replace the existing concert hall with a larger one.
Woman:Ah,that’s due to start next year.
加粗部分就是相关的时间考点词,如果注意到考点词,大家可以很容易地把“过去有的”和“将来会有”的选项排除,选择“现在已有”的B,E选项。
例2:剑桥真题8,Test 2,section 3,Question 21
Where in Australia have Asian honey bees been found in the past?
A.Queensland
B.New South Wales
C.Severl states
观察题干,大家可以发现时态考点词“in the past”,即所选答案应该是对应
“过去有的”。
录音原文:
Anyway,my current research involves trying to find a particular type of bee,the Asian Honey Bee,and finding out whether there are any of them around in various states of Australia.We discovered a few of them in Queensland once and eradicated them.Now,we’re pretty keen to make sure that there aren’t any more getting in,particularly to New South Wales and other states.
注意听”once”和“Now”这两个信号词,就很容易把正确答“Queensland”,即A选项听出来。把混淆信息“New South Wales and other states”即B,C选项排除
通过这个两个例子,大家也应该注意到,不论是部分还是第三部分,不论生活场景还是学术场景,时态都作为一重要考点。而区分时态,不需要太过纠结于动词变化上的一些细节,比如到底是did,还是had done,还是has done。因为一个具体动词的词尾变化,或者had,has这样的助动词,在念的过程都可能弱化,导致听不到答案。大家更应该注意的是将中英文融会贯通,主动去听像我们中文表达中的一些表示时间的状语,比如now,past,future,last,next等,和描述事物存在性的形容词,比如used,existing等。希望大家在做题的时候能多多积累整理,攻克雅思听力中的时态关!
