眨眼十月就过去了
离2019年结束只剩下两个月了!
你的雅思过了吗?
阅读努力过后,三天不读,速度下来了!
单词努力过后,三天不背,单词不认识了!
口语写作努力过,三天不练习,手生口生!
听力努力过,三天不练习,不可能听不见了!
很多烤鸭都问过小润
有没有听力提升的秘诀?
秘诀只有一个
听力是就是靠反复听
把自己沉浸在英语环境中
至于幻想考前刷题都可以听力得8
这样的美梦还是不要做了
但当然
既然是考试
它还是有一定技巧的
今天小润就给大家讲讲听力考试中的常见陷阱之偷梁换柱
“偷梁换柱”其实就是让你在听题时误以为听到了正确答案,但其实题目中主语/宾语已经变了样。
例1
Q:
Janice believes managers should()
A:
A. demonstrate good behaviour.
B. encourage co-operation early on.
C. increase financial incentives.
题目对应的原文
Tutor:
So how should managers deal with this?
Janice:
Rewards.
When an individual demonstrates the behavior the organization expects, some kind of incentive can be given.
What's important here is that this happens right at the beginning so new recruits learn the rules of the system immediately.
Also the incentive should be something the individual actually wants, and this isn't always just money.
分析
大家在听到"demonstrates the behavior the organization expects"时或许觉得与A选项"demonstrate good behaviour"非常接近。
但题干问的是manager, 原文中的主语却是individual,所以A选项可以排除。对白中的最后一句"this isn't always just money",也可以排除C选项,所以正确答案是B。
在对话涉及到两种及以上角色时,一定要谨防偷换主语,不要把A的“帽子”放到B的头上。
例2
Q:
What did Joanna’s subjects say about the audience at a performance?
A:
A. The musician's choice of clothing is linked to respect for the audience.
B. The clothing should not distract the audience from the music.
C. The audience should make the effort to dress appropriately.
题目对应的原文
Joanna:
The subjects I interviewed felt this was really important. It’s all to do with what we understand by performance as a public event. They believed the audience had certain expectations and it was up to them as performers to fulfil these expectations, to show a kind of esteem…
Supervisor:
…they weren’t afraid of looking as if they’d made an effort to look good.
分析
原文中的"made an effort to look good"与和C的"make the effort to dress appropriately"也十分相似,其实也是障眼法,主语they指代的是文中的subjects, 而C的主语是audience。
而原文中我们听到的expectations和 esteem对应A选项的respect,选项A才是正确答案。雅思听力中常常出现they/them这种代词,此时一定要先确认they指代的是哪个角色,一不留神就会被带到坑里去哦~
例3
Q:
Questions and Interruptions:
A:
- Minimise interruptions by _____ them.
题目对应的原文
Interruptions, on the other hand, can be unwelcome and you may get them for a variety of reasons.
It’s likely, however, that there’s something in your presentation that’s unclear or confusing.
So my advice is to reduce problems by reading through your presentation beforehand and predicting potential points which could cause interruptions.
You may then want to change that part of your presentation or, at least, you will be prepared if someone does interrupt you.
分析
同学们在听原文时很容易听出"reduce"和题干中的"minimise"是同义替换,紧接着后面为"by reading through your presentation beforehand",便将reading through作为答案。
其实并没有这么简单,在填空处的后面还有一个them作它的宾语,所以填空处应填动词的-ing形式,所以此处them应该指句子前面的interruptions。往后听下去会发现下一个动词-ing形式“predicting potential points which could cause interruptions”,这才能让原文和题干的宾语完全对应,所以predicting才是正确的答案词。
这类难度较大的题一般在Section3、Section4出现,该如何防止掉入陷阱呢?我们不能从只言片语出发,而是以意群为单位,听懂细节内容后再与选项进行匹配。
