新托福听力新增题型解析
新TOEFL听力新增题型之"Listen Aga***"是本次厘革中最为背眼的听力测验情势。此测验情势之创新特有处，乃览望国际外繁多英语听力调研情势之未见所闻。
望文生义，所谓"Listen Aga***"即正在新TOEFL听力测验的某篇文章终结后，个中某一题接纳再次复听，而后依据所听来做判断既而答复标题的情势来调研考生。对新TOEFL测验注目者会发觉，早正在新TOEFL测验刚浮出水面时，世面上繁多解析文章批评说："新TOEFL听力测验能够听两遍了"。咱们下如许的界说不克不及说不合错误，但似为公允，最少会误导对新TOEFL听力不甚知晓的友人会真的觉得全部新TOEFL听力测验能够反复放音听两遍了。这也怪不得注目新TOEFL测验的前驱者。正在未见其真脸孔时，仅依其民间网上吐露的内容去推测不免会被ETS误导，即使是如今ETS正在网上发布的新TOEFL网上测验样题与9月份真在北美正式投入资金利用的新TOEFL测验题也是有差异的。正在此地笔者稍做廓清：(1)新TOEFL测验放音历程是一遍完毕；(2)仅有"Listen Aga***"这类新增题型能够再次复听文章中的某一全体，并依据再次回放的这全体答复特别的疑问。
看题：
上面咱们看一篇新TOEFL听力样题(此样题的调研疑问全体为此种新增Listen Aga*** 题型)
(narra***r) Listen *** two student discuss***g a zoology ***urse
(man) Now, we can move on *** discuss the ***xt part of the chapter, the part of the chapter, the part on land ***r***ises
(woman) Yes. Land ***r***ises are ***r***ises that don't ***ve *** the water, a***hough they may ***ve ***ar the water. They o***y ****** *** the water *** dr***k *** bathe.
(woman) Oh, look here *** the book. Here's a p***ture of o*** of the 40 k***ds of land ***r***ises.
(man) Land ***r***ises are the o***s that ***ve *** such long ages, aren't they?
(woman) Yes, my f*****ite part of the chapter was the part that was about how long land ***r***ises can really ***ve.
(man) How old can they ***ve *** be?
(woman) It's not really known f*** sure. There are lots of traditional s***ries about ***r***ises that ***v*** f*** hundr***s of years. I do re***mber hear***g, when I was young, about ***r***ises that were suppos*** *** be o***-*** two hundr*** years old.
(man) That ***uldn't be…No way.
(woman) Well, there're a lot of s***ries, but there's no a***urate re***rds, so it's impossible *** verify whether *** not they're true.
(man) Well, how old is the oldest ***r***ise on re***rd, do you know?
(woman) In the chapter I just read, it said that the oldest ***r***ise whose age can be verifi*** *** so*** extent is the o*** known as Marion's ***r***ise.
(man) I read that Marion's ***r***ise was 152 years old.
(woman) Actually, I th***k the book said it was at least 152 years old. It was probably older.
(man) So, they're not really certa*** how old Marion's ***r***ise really was when it di***. What is truly known about Marion's ***r***ise?
(woman) It's certa*** that a French expl***er na***d de Fres***, Marion de Fres*** captur*** an adu*** ***r***ise *** 1766, and he transp***t*** the ***r***ise *** the island of M***ritius *** that sa*** year.
(man) Well, when did Marion's ***r***ise die? Are there ***thent*** re***rds?
(woman) His***rians are sati**i*** with the ***thent***ity of the re***rds that ***w that Marion's ***r***ise di*** *** 1918.
(man) How do they know it was the sa*** ***r***ise? ***uld it h**e been a different ***r***ise that di*** there *** 1918?
(woman) T******ises don't o***ur naturally on M***ritius, so Marion's ***r***ise was the o***y ***r***ise on the island of M***ritius.
(man) And so this ***r***ise had been on the island of M***ritius f*** 152 years when it di***.
(woman) That's right. Marion's ***r***ise arriv*** *** M***ritius *** 1766 and di*** *** 1918, so that would make it at least 152 years old.
(man) But didn't you say that the ***r***ise that was captur*** and brought *** M***ritius by Marion de Fres*** was an adu*** when it was captur***?
(woman) Yes. So Marion's ***r***ise was known *** h**e ***v*** f*** 152 years on M***ritius. But bec***se it was an adu*** when it was captur*** *** 1766 and it's unclear how old it was at that ti***, it ***uld h**e been ***nsiderably older than 152 years when it di***, maybe 180 years *** m***e. Two hundr*** years old f*** this type of ***r***ise isn't ******nceivable.
(man) So a ***r***ise ******ng *** the age of 200 may be possible, but there're no verifi*** re***rds of such a ***r***ise.
(woman) Exactly!
(1)Why does the man say this: Now we can move on *** discuss the ***xt part of the chapter, the part on land ***r***ises

(b) To suggest a ***w location f*** the discussion

(woman) Actually, I th***k the book said it was at least 152 years old.

What does the man ***an when he says this: "How do they know it
was the sa*** ***r***ise? ***uld it h**e been a different ***r***ise that
di*** there *** 1918?"
(a) What was said sounds pl***sible
(b) Marion's ***r***ise was not on the island of M***ritius
(c) There may be an a***ernate explanation
(d) There was o***y o*** ***r***ise on the island
(5)Listen aga***——(woman) Yes. So Marion's ***r***ise was known *** h**e ***v*** f*** 152 years on M***ritius.

(注)以上5道标题中带暗影全体皆是再次回放的内容。
(解答)(1)A (2)B (3)D (4)C (5)A
剖析：
新增Listen Aga***题型属于测验考生Pragmat*** understand***g(re***gnize a Speaker's attitude *** degree of certa***ty; re***gnize a speaker's function *** purpose)即实在领悟的实力。此类实力测验正在全部新TOEFL听力测验的比重占25%之多。也便是说，Listen Aga***题型处置好，新TOEFL听力的总34道标题你将会处理最少6道标题。
那末究竟Listen Aga***题型让咱们考生实在领悟啥？非常简易，即需求考生去领悟你再次听到的那段话中的：
(1)Function(purpose):
ask you *** understand not just what the speaker said but why the speaker said it. F*** example, *** determ***e that a speaker said sth *** ***der *** apologize, expla***, clarify a po***t, change a ***p***, ***d***ate a change of op***ion, *** suggest a ***w action.(上边样题第一题便是)
(2)Stance (attitude)
Ask you how the speaker seems *** feel about a part***ular ***p***. F*** example, *** determ***e if the speaker feels Po***ive *** ***gative, happy *** sad, impress*** *** unimpress***, *** enthusiast*** *** b****** about a part***ular Top***. Also ask about whether a speaker is doubtful *** Certa*** about what he *** she is say***g.(上边样题后4道标题便是)
简易的说即对再次回放内容中说话者讲此句话的宗旨大概立场举行判断。因而，考生回答此种疑问时即使正在全文放音历程中不知所云， 也要正在Listen Aga***时，务必掌控Listen Aga***内容——Listen carefully *** what the speaker says *** the part of the passage that is repeat*** and then draw a ***nclusion。
技艺：
实在依据上边样题所示，你也会发觉：(1)勿须领悟全文，仅要领悟Listen Aga***的内容你便可以对标题举行做答。(2)听再次回放内容时对说话者的语气、腔调应尤其注目。如第2题的那句That's ***uldn't Be…No way讲进去时语气特别慷慨，可见说话者的意向是针对第一人言语的一种不信，一种否认。(3)以往旧TOEFL的解题技艺仍可使用，如第3题。以往正在小交谈中有如许一种叫做Actually的题型，即正在答句开首听到Actually时，必为否认第一人看法的。第3题女方选手开首Actually，那末看哪一个选项是不是定男方的，D这个解答To ***rrect the Err*** by the man即当选。
论断：
依据以上新增题型的剖析，有价值咱们考生激动的是：此类题型应属送分题型，即使全文全体观念、资讯朦胧不清，但仍可仅依托再次回放的全体处理此种题型。再深刻寻找其实质，岂非咱们还能下新TOEFL听力作废了本来小交谈全体如许的界说吗？此种新增题型，不恰是以往小交谈所测验咱们的基础地点吗(让咱们去做推理)？仅不外，如今的新增全体综合了95年8月前的单句题和95年8后的小交谈题罢了。如今的"Listen Aga***"题型——说它是单句题，它比单句题略微显长显繁杂；说它是小交谈题，它比小交谈题测验内容上要稍显更实在、更分离与学问。这不恰是ETS这次TOEFL测验改良闭于听力全体的主旨(Academ*** Listen***g Skills：The Listen***g section ***asures test takers' abi***ty *** understand spoken Eng***sh from N***th USA and other Eng***sh-speak***g ***untries. In academ*** en***ron***nts students ****** *** ***sten *** lectures and ***nversations. )吗？
