(1)Function(purpose): For example, to determine that a speaker said sth in order to apologize, explain, clarify a point, change a topic, indicate a change of opinion, or suggest a new action.
(2)Stance (attitude): ask you how the speaker seems to feel about a particular topic. For example, to determine if the speaker feels Positive or negative, happy or sad, impressed or unimpressed, or enthusiastic or bored about a particular Topic. Also ask about whether a speaker is doubtful or Certain about what he or she is saying.
看一个例题:
Listen again——(woman) In the chapter I just read, it said that the oldest tortoise whose age can be verified to some extent is the one known as Marion’s tortoise.
(man) I read that Marion’s tortoise was 152 years old.
(woman) Actually, I think the book said it was at least 152 years old.
Why does the woman say this:“ Actually,I think the book said it was at least 152 years old.”
(a) To contradict what was in the book
(b) To indicate that she is not sure what is correct
(c) To restate what the man said
(d) To correct an error by the man
由上可见,此种题型(1)勿须理解全文,只要理解Listen Again的内容你就可以对题目进行做答。(2)需要重点关注的不是每一个单词或者一些细节信息,而是“弦外之音”,即说话人的语气、语调和态度等。(3)以往旧托福的解题技巧仍可应用,如上例。以往在小对话中有这样一种叫做Actually的题型,即在答句开头听到Actually时,必为否定第一人观点的。此题女方选手开头Actually,那么看哪个选项是否定男方的,D这个答案To correct the Error by the man即入选。
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
不要去等待幸运的降临,在你可以努力的每一分钟都做出最大的努力,你才能真正把握自己的命运。在等待中焦虑的人最后获得的永远是失望。
