托福聽力:托??荚?yán)煤谜Z音語調(diào)
1)重音強(qiáng)調(diào):
聽段子時(shí),我們作為聽者,都會(huì)下意識(shí)地注意聽那些“讀音很重的詞或結(jié)構(gòu)”。因?yàn)樗鼈僩ot our attention(抓住了我們的注意力)。這就是ETS本能強(qiáng)調(diào)的突出體現(xiàn)。所以重音所在必為考點(diǎn)所在。
2)停頓強(qiáng)調(diào):
一個(gè)段子讀得好好的,突然一個(gè)停頓,過了一兩秒種后才恢復(fù)過來。這種嘎然而止的現(xiàn)象特別能引起我們考生的注意。同樣也達(dá)到了ETS get attention的目的,成為本能強(qiáng)調(diào)的又一突出體現(xiàn)。所以停頓所在必為考點(diǎn)所在。
3)清晰強(qiáng)調(diào):
該強(qiáng)調(diào)方式最具隱蔽性。因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)考生有一種奇怪的想法:認(rèn)為容易聽清聽懂的地方不會(huì)考,最會(huì)考的是那些生僻難懂之處。所以不惜花大量時(shí)間和精力去分析、猜測難點(diǎn)含義,卻忽略以致放棄已經(jīng)聽懂的地方。不要忘記TOEFL是第二語言測試,不會(huì)“沒有人性”到“專考生僻所在”。所以應(yīng)引起我們充分重視的還是那些讀得清晰的易懂之處。切記:清晰之處一樣是考點(diǎn)所在。
