一、linking of sounds 连读现象

托福听力部分语速非常快,听起来很模糊。而实际上,这不单单是语速快慢问题,更重要的是诸如连读、失爆、重音、弱化、缩读等美音中常见的音变问题。

若是解决了这些问题,想必托福听力读得再快、再模糊,我们也能庖丁解牛、反应机敏。所谓连读,指的词与词之间交界的两个音会经常连在一起,发音时好象连成了一个较长的单词。连读有助于完整意义的表达,并使整句话具有强烈的粘着感,体现句子的整体性,充分体现美语语言的自然流畅。

二、stress 重音现象

深入剖析托福听力考试的发音,不难发现给我们造成听觉障碍的原因还在于：托福听力不是把个别词句发得字正腔圆,而是把所有单词和词组结合起来,使它们的语音连贯而形成语流,just like a river flow。如此一来,要想真正拨开迷雾,领会托福听力的含义,必须正确把握美语的节奏和旋律,而说惯了汉语的我们显然对此难以适应。

三、reduced forms 弱化现象

托福听力中的美语总给我们一种高低起伏、抑扬顿挫、轻重缓急的感觉。这是因为重读和弱化的存在。

托福听说交流中,不可能所有的词都同等重要,也不可能将时间平均分配给每一个词,否则就会令听者觉得说话人轻重不分、主次不明。因而在一句话中,必然有些词较为关键,发音响亮清晰,时间拖长,这就需要重读;有些词则相应对次要一些,发音时间缩短,同时加以弱化,这样整个句子就显得分配得当。实际上,在朗读句子的时候,只要我们注意到了弱读,重读也就自然而然地体现出来了。

四、contractions缩读现象

在托福听力中,还有一个造成应试者听觉障碍的大敌是美语的缩读现象,掌握了这种现象的规律就等于掌握了攻克托福听力的另一大诀窍。

由于托福听力中含有大量的口语素材,使得讲话人使用大量非正式的口语体,所以在发音中,不仅会把弱读的词弱读,有时会省略某些音,使说话和朗读更自然流畅,达到更加smoothly and softly的效果,这种现象称作缩读。

缩读是英美人习惯的发音方式,自有一套规则约束,绝不能任意而为;同时缩读往往被受过教育的美国人视做不规范的英语,所以正式场合不能滥用缩读。

一、 整体构成

雅思听力4部分,40题。第一、三部分是对话,第二、四部分是独白。时长在20到25分钟之间。每部分单词在800-900之间,只能听一遍,一旦走神就会错过答案。

问题已给出,考生在听之前可以先浏览将要听到的问题。

托福听力分6部分。2-3个对话和4-6个讲座。每个对话后有5个问题,讲座后有6个问题,数目固定。时长在60到90分钟之间,每段对话词数在600个左右,讲座单词数在800-1000。停顿多,对短时记忆要求高。

二、 题型

雅思听力题型丰富,常见的有四种：选择题、表格题、完成句子和问答题。选择题考查边听边读的能力,后三种考查边听边写的能力。

地图题和搭配题是属于次常考题型,地图题考查听辨方向的能力。搭配题则要听的时候阅读多个题干和选项。

不经常出现的题型,如：图画题、图示题、推理题和判断题。

雅思听力重点考查听细节的能力,很少涉及主旨。

托福听力,准确的说,只有一种题型,选择题。也就是说,托福考试中没有需要拼写答案的题目。细分为三个类型：主旨、细节题;情景理解题;整和信息题。

三、 场景

雅思听力中有两大场景：生活类和学术类,前两部分考生活,后两部分考学术。生活类场景包括：租房、谈论家乡、旅游度假以及对于一些活动的介绍。学术类包括：新生入学、介绍图书馆;作业、研究、写论文;讲座。

托福听力中也分生活和学术两类场景。但是,托福考试中绝大部分都是学术类。关于生活类的主要涉及食宿。学术类的有关于作业、论文等,在对话中出现。讲座中会出现四类话题：艺术,生命科学,自然科学,社会科学。

四、 评分标准

雅思考试的评分标准从0到9分,有半分。对18到24个题目,得5.5到6分,对25-31个题目,得6.5到7分,对32-36个题目,得7.5到8分,以此类推。7分以上算好成绩。

托福考试的分数范围大,对33-34个题目,得28到30分,对31-32个题目,得26到29分,对29-30个题目得25到27分,以此类推。25分以上算好成绩。

仅从题目数来讲,托福似乎更难。但考虑到题型,托福就比雅思简单了。大多英联邦国家要求雅思6.5到7.5分,而托福要求总分80-100,实际对听力的要求为20-25分。

一. 为什么要选择新托福?

具有挑战性自然不必说了,最重要的一点是它有用、实用。听力段子的内容非常up-to-date,更新很快,是北美校园课堂的真实再现,只要能通过这个考试,很少出现高分低能的情况。对于暂时不打算出国留学的考生来讲,在求职、实际工作方面也会有很大的帮助。

二. 新托福听力新特点

新托福考试所谓得听力者得天下其实并不夸张。和听力相关的部分占到了整个考试的50%,因为它和写作口语也关系密切。

1. 整个铲除了容易丢分的笔试小对话,使容易出错的各种语气题、习语和肯定否定回答大幅降低;

2. 允许考生记笔记,这部分练习显得尤为关键,时长平均5分钟的对话和讲座,没有笔记的帮助,无疑难度太大,尤其是针对细节题;

3. 重复信息,这样的题多半是考教授的语气和说话目的,大概有2-3题,通常问listen again and then answer the question why does the professor say this? 这种题也叫做语用题,和我们熟悉的小对话有类似之处。

4. 新托福关键的难词和术语显示在屏幕上,使考生心里踏实不少。

新托福听力考试包括两个部分,每个部分包括一个长对话和两个长段子,考试时间总共是50分钟。每个部分考17道题,答题时间为10分钟,节奏由自己控制,简单的题速度快一点,拿不准的题可以多花些功夫。平均来讲,大概每道题的答题时间是30秒左右。考题依然延续机考托福的规则,不可看,不可逆,不可改。

三. 新托福听力新题型

1. 表格判断题

2. 多项选择题

3. 复听题

4. 连线题

5. 排序题

m: i don’t know, susan, i don’t feel like i am reaching my freshman class this semester.

w: why do you say that?

m: it’s just they seem to glaze over(眼神呆滞) with noncomprehension, even when i’m talking about the basics, they are not specially motivated either. i know the class is a first year science requirement for most of them. but i’ve got to do something.

w: jean, you know jean white, she teaches physics, she just told me about how

she livens up(活跃)her classes.

m: what did she do?

w: well, basically, she takes something they are interested in, like music, and tries to relate principal of science to that. otherwise, the concepts seem to go right over their heads.

m: do you mean, for example, she’d use rock and roll to demonstrate the principles of acoustics(声学) and physics?

w: exactly, in fact, she said she had used music, and she’d used movies, especially, science fiction in her classes too.

like to getting blisters.

m: i didn’t come to san diego on spring break to talk about professor brock’s physics class.

w: i know, me neither, i was just answering your question, that’s all.

m: what question?

w: you weren’t even paying attention to your own question

m: i was just complaining about the hot sand. considering what the water’s like, i wonder how the sand can be so hot?

w: well, professor brock’s lecture on specific heat might give you a clue. water has a higher specific heat than sand.

m: then why is the sand so much hotter if water has a higher specific heat?

w: don’t you remember? specific heat is the energy need to raise the temperature of something. if something has a high specific heat, like water, it takes more energy to raise its temperature.

m: i see. so you are saying that something with a high specific heat, like water, doesn’t get hot as fast as something with a low specific heat, like sand, right?

w: right. so sand gets hot faster during the day, that’s why it’s so hot while the water’s still cool.

m: i guess you are right, i should pay more attention in class.36, what is the woman trying to explain to the man?

37, what is the man complaining about?

38, what does the woman say about the water?

那么怎样才能在托福考试当中取得理想的成绩呢?可以总结为：高分=基本实力+考试技巧。

所谓的基本实力就是要能听懂听力段子中的所讲的内容,基本实力的提高在于平时的积累。而考试技巧主要指对题型熟悉以及相应题型的出题点,这个可以在短时间里面得到很好的训练和提升。这里我们就谈谈如何在平时提升基本的听力实力。

在平时的时候可以采取听写和跟读模仿来对基本实力进行提升。听写是为了彻彻底底的清除自己的听力盲点和死角。因为有时候我们平时在听完段子后总觉得自己没有问题,对段子懂了,可是发现当我们真正要把自己听到的东西写下来的时候却发现,原来自己有很多想当然的东西居然出现了问题。这些问题考试就到包括有些词能听出音,却不知道什么意思,有些地方只有看到文本的时候才发现出现了语音现象,有些词在写的时候会突然想不起来,这些出问题的地方就是我们的听力盲点。听写是扫除这些盲点最直接有效地方法。

在听写完一个段子之后,所做的就是跟读模仿,这个训练主要是为了纠正语音语调。毕竟我们学习的是人家的语言,如果要地道,只有反复去模仿人家说话的方式。而这种模仿达到的疯狂地步就是mp3说一句,自己跟着说一句,虽然有时候可能会跟不上,可能出现只能跟得上几个单词,但是没有关系,只要反复跟读,每次哪怕是增加一个单词,那也是进步,就这样,不断跟读,直到你能完全跟得上mp3的速度。

这个时侯,你可能在句子的语调方面会得到锻炼,那么再注意语音现象,如连音、略音等,以及每个单词的发音。做到这些步骤后,往往会发现自己似乎只在过嘴和过耳,至于mp3说的什么,很多情况下并没有去想,所以这个时候,我们就要做到一心三用,即耳、嘴、脑三者同时开工。因为耳和嘴已经得到了锻炼,再加上脑,明白自己说的是什么,那么对于理解听力段子是非常有益处的。

有了基本的听力实力做保障后,我们无论遇到什么样的考试,只要出现听力,我们就可以从容应对。毕竟只有硬实力才最能说明问题。

托福听力做好笔记的两大技巧。

【技巧一】文章框架

在听文章的时候,考生应该慢慢梳理出文章的框架和脉络,知道内哪里会出现比较重要的内容,而哪里又一般不是很重要。一般笔记左边为重要内容,右边则是细节内容,而且越是往右记越是细节,当然相对来说通常也越不是很重要。基本结构是：

main idea

supporting idea

supporting idea

minor points, example, detail, etc.

main idea

【技巧二】通过信号词找到重点句

因为篇章较长,很多考生往往坚持不到听完就放弃了,所以在训练时很重要的一个技巧就是培养将文章变短变小的能力。通过确定信号词我们可以很快确定后面的内容是否重要,是否需要仔细倾听,是否可以不听,从而在避免长时间听力练习的疲劳想象。现将各种信号词分类如下：

第一： 直接提示观点、表递进关系的信号词

there are reason why

firs... second...third

what i want to talk about is...

and most important,...

a major development...

why it was so important...

a big sale

大减价。托福听力围绕学生生活的话题较多,学生总是没钱,所以一听到on sale 或者for sale,a big sale,等等大减价等总是非常有兴趣。

a: those are great sneakers, were they very expensive?

b: i never could have bought them if the shoe store wasn’t having a big sale.

a far cry from 离……差的老远,有很大的差别

the published book is a far cry from the early manuscript.

anything but 单单除……之外;恰恰不

对照习语：nothing but, 意为正是,只是,不过。

she is nothing but poor. 她很穷。

susan is anything but poor. 苏珊一点也不穷。

are you kidding? 你开什么玩笑?

类似说法：you must be kidding, you must be joking? are you joking ? you kidding? you joking? 等等, 一起记。

a: how did the game go the other night? did you team win ?

b: are you kidding? that would be a first.

around the clock 一天不间断,一天24小时不停

martha studied around the clock for her management exam.

be backed up (交通)堵了;(活)拖下来了

the subway is running behind schedule, and traffic is backed up for blocks. i don’t know if we’ll make the 7:15 show.

a: i have two esams and three papers to get done in the next couple of days.

b: how did it get so backed up?

be burned up 生气

我先后考过两次托福,第一次102分,第二次108分,在第二次考试里听力居然满分,挺惊喜的。

我真正开始投入大量时间准备托福大概有3个月。由于还在上课,每天准备托福的时间也就是4小时左右。但平时去教室的路上、坐公交、吃饭时也经常是戴着耳机听voa、《科学美国人》还有《托福高分作文》配套音频。这种零碎时间加起来平均每天也应该有一个小时,闲暇时间也经常是关了字幕看英文电影。

一般情况下,尤其是对于像我这种工科生,大学里在准备gt之前是很少会花大量心血准备英语的。记得有同学开玩笑说过,如果是高三暑假去考托福就好了。的确,没有 gt的话,大学生的英语水平通常是逐年降低的。想让逐渐降低的英语水平反弹,肯定是需要一番决心的。

做事都要遵循一个循序渐进的原则,听力的提高也不例外。如果一个英语基础一般的大学生直接用voa来练听力,那多半是坚持不下来的——过高的强度会导致大脑的罢工,非常容易走神。我开始练习听力时是用老托福的听力材料,就那种1分多钟1篇的。这套音频的语速、内容都不算太难理解,而且有对应的文章可以看,听的时候发现自己哪里跟不上了可以马上停下来看文章。如果想同时练习写作的同学可以换成《托福高分作文》配套音频听。

等到老托福听力材料已经能听懂80%,就可以提高难度了。作为面向外国人的英语能力测试,老托福的语速、连读情况和真正美国人说话自然还是有差别。而在老托福的听力材料之后,我就直接强迫自己听voastandard。这个跨度很大,主要是因为我没能找到难度居于两者之间的听力材料。voa的语速已经比新托福考试要快了,但其价值也正是如此。所谓求其上上得其上,如果把voa都能听懂,还怕托福听力吗?但果不其然,初听voa时我大脑出现了严重的罢工现象,常常没听几分钟就走神了。为了让自己集中注意力,我开始听说。
