托福听力记笔记策略
托福听力记笔记策略
一、 主旨信息。
即表达conversation的目的和内容的信息以及表达lecture的主题的内容。如:
conversation:
I was wondering/thinking/ hoping …….
I wanted to ….
This is why I come by
Lecture:
I am going to talk about / discuss
Let’s focus on...
二、 重要细节。
即围绕一个主题,展开探讨的主要内容。如:
例1:
主旨:(student)I wonder if you could give me a few quick about the library?
重要细节一:(Librarian)ok, over here the section we have language, literature and art. And if you do downstairs, you’ll find the history section.
重要细节二:(Librarian)oh, I also should mention that we have interlibrary loan service ….
重要细节三:(Students)another thing I was wondering if there a place I can bring my computer and hook it up?
重要细节四:(Librarian)I am sure you’ll need photocopier too….
重要细节五:(Students)where is the collection of rare books?
例2:
主旨:now, even though it may be difficult to understand how a huge ice can move or flow, it’s really no secret that glacier flow because of gravity, but how they flow, the way they flow needs some explaining.
重要细节一:the first type of flow is called “Basal Slip”
重要细节二:the new type of movement we talk about is called “Deformation”
重要细节三:now, I’d like to touch briefly on extension and compression.
以上两个例子中的重要细节,均是围绕主旨展开的讨论。对于对话来说,重要内容比较复杂,有librarian主动陈述,也有学生进一步的追问。对于lecture来说就相对清楚得多了。根据重要细节内容,我们可以预测细节题的考查要点。当然,真正做对题目,还要抓住围绕每一个重要细节进一步展开的具体细节。
三、 具体细节。
即围绕重点细节展开的进一步讨论内容。这方面的内容比较零散,依据重点细节的内容而发生变化。但是我们在听的过程中,也可以抓住一些常规考查点或出题要点

(D) The temperature of the glacial ice
4. 比较信息
如:”a number of the Chauvet paintings have been dated by a lab to 30, 000 or more years ago, that would make it not just older than any other cave arts but about twice as old as the art in the cave of Altamira and Lascaux.”

So if the male frog could manage not to go through this freezing cycle, he probably have more success in mating.”
Q: What impact does freezing have on some thawed wood frogs?
A: It reduces their ability to recognize potential mates
7. 问答信息
问答内容,经常以重听题的形式考查。也是考生特别要注意的。
