如何运用听力材料中演讲者的问题
在听力材料中,一些演讲者会时不时地利用一些问题来吸引听众的注意力,然后演讲者再自己给出答案,这种方式可以帮助听众更好地理解说话者所说的要点,所以在听的过程中,要仔细听演讲者所提出的问题并关注演讲者所给出的答案。
10
一、根据演讲者所提出的问题来答题
演讲者在演讲的过程中,会提出一些问题来吸引观众的注意力,如Why do we need...?/What can...?/Does it mean...?/What does...mean?等,所以在听的过程中一定要特别注意这些问题。
11
【示例】
听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
17.Where can you most probably hear this talk?
A.In a class of the English language.
B.In a class of the Greek language.
C.In a class of the French language.
18.How long does the class last?
A.11 weeks. B.13 weeks. C.15 weeks.
12
19.What is “the short-cut” to learn words according to the speaker?
A.Taking more courses.
B.Reading basic words aloud.
C.Learning how words are formed.
20.Why is the class popular?
A.It is not offered each term.
B.It helps to master some useful rules.
C.It’s taught by Professor Morris.
13
[听力分析]
从问题以及给出的回答“Short-cuts? Yes,for example,if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other languages...”中可推知,19题的答案为C。
14
[听力原文]
M:Good afternoon everybody and welcome to this class on English words.I hope that all of you can hear me.If not,please let
me know.I am Professor John Morris.I’ll be your teacher for the next 13 weeks.As you can probably tell,this is one of the most popular and crowded classes.Indeed,every time this course is offered,this room is very full.Why is that? Well,in order to use the English language,it’s very important to have at least a basic understanding
15
of how words are formed.Just to mention one figure and there are many,there are about 1 million words in English.If you are an English learner,you may wonder how you can possibly remember all of these words.Well,for one thing,you don’t have to.No native speaker exists who knows all of the words in the English language. Besides,there are short-cuts.Short-cuts? Yes,for example,if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other
16
languages,such as Greek and French,you’ll understand a good number of English words when you first come across them.Let me put it this way,knowing the rules will help you to master a large number of words.This is probably the NO.1 reason why this class is so popular.
17
二、根据演讲者自己对问题的回答来答题
演讲者在提出问题之后,一般都会自己给出答案,以便听众能更好地理解自己的演讲要点。如I believe that...; The answer is YES.; It means that...等。

A.They strongly believe in family rules.
B.They tend to take responsibility for themselves.

19

B.They get less attention from their parents.
C.They often have a poor sense of direction.
19.Who gets special attention in the family?
A.The first child.
B.The only child.
C.The youngest child.
20
20.What did the recent study find about later children?
A.They often did better in life.
B.They believed in family rules.
C.They followed orders.
21
[听力分析]
在听录音的过程中,根据原文中的“Middle children don’t get so much attention...”可知,18题答案为B;“The youngest child then,often gets special treatment.”可知,19题答案为C;以及“They took chances and they often did better in life.”可知,20题答案为A。
22
[听力原文]
W:Where do you come in the birth order of your family? Whether you are the first or last child in your family,or are a middle or only child? But there are different ideas about what birth order means.Some people say that the oldest children are smart and strong-willed,and they are very likely to be successful.The reason for this is simple:parents have a lot of time for that first child.They give him or
23
her a lot of attention.So this child is very likely to do well.An only child will succeed for the same reason.What happens to the other children in the family?Middle children don’t get so much attention.So they don’t feel that important.If a family has many children,the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd.The youngest child then,often gets special treatment.He or she is the baby.Often this child grows up funny and charming.
24
Do you believe this idea about birth order,too? A recent study saw things quite differently.The study found that first children believed in family rules.They didn’t take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders.Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in a family.They went out and followed their own ideas.They took chances and they often did better in life.

A
Studying abroad may be exciting, but it is a little less exciting when you face all the cultural differences in a single day.
48
When I was in middle school, I decided to make a cultural exchange in Munich, Germany during my first year studying German. The exchange included spending ten days at the home of the assigned (指定的) family to experience how German kids live and what they do and to observe the similarities and differences between that culture and the Italian culture.
49
As soon as we landed, we were greeted by the boys and girls who had been assigned to us. I was assigned to Alana, a typical German girl. When we were on the bus, we listened to some music and sang out loud, which are usually done during school trips by Italian kids. Being watched by all the German kids, we realized our behavior led to an abnormal climate for them.
50
What I feared most was that I had to face another culture all by myself.Once we arrived home, we introduced ourselves. At lunchtime, we decided to go to a restaurant in the area. Before entering the restaurant, Alana’s father, Max, opened the door first for himself, and then he let us in. The first thing I thought was how rude it was, and then I knew that German males go in rooms first to make sure the place is safe, then let the women in.
51
After dinner, we saw a soccer match between German teams, and for the first time I realized how soccer is a very popular sport, just like in Italy. Totally different from the Italian culture, at 10: 00 p.m. we were already in bed. This was my first time going to bed at that time. I rolled over in bed and couldn’t get to sleep quickly.
52
This exchange made me realize the differences between cultures and how culture shock, which is only a concept students study at school, works, but especially I learned that what seems normal to me can be something very improper in another country, even if that country is just a few miles away.

When I was six,Dad brought home a dog one day,who was called “Brownie”.My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her.One of us would walk her,another would feed her,and then there were baths,playing catch and many other games. Brownie,in return,loved each and every one of us.One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them.We always felt better when she was around.
62
One day,as I was getting her food,she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes,which had to be thrown away in the end.I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.When I looked at her and said,“Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid.I saw a tear in her eyes.
63
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet.She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pat her.Of course she’d let anyone pat her.She was just the most lovable dog.There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair.She never barked or tried to get away. Funny thing was that she would smile.This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth.Far from the truth,she loved everyone.
64
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age.I still miss the days when she was with us.
