　根本介绍:

　　习语题是调查对今世英语口语，尤其是北美盛行习语把握程度的题型。习语题是托福听力中常考的一种题型，由于习语题主要呈如今平常口语种，不论是平常非正式的对话，仍是较为严厉的场合，如讲堂和会议，习语的呈现都是层出不穷的。一般来说，在新托福听力考试种，总会有1至2个习语题呈现。

　　命题方式:

　　习语题一般都是以what 最初的特殊疑问句, 一般来说问的对比直接, 例如:

　　What does the professor mean when he says this?

　　A: Henry James was one of the critics who had very few comments onWhitman.

　　B: Henry James was one of the critics who thought Whitman’s works lackedsweetness.

　　C; Henry James was one of the critics who firmly believed Whitman wasgood.

　　D: Henry James was among those who criticized Whitman’s worksintensely.

　　What does the professor mean by saying___?

　　What does X refer to?

　　剖析习语:

　　在做习语题的时分经常会碰到一些难题。其难题之一即是当几个了解的单词在一起构成短语时,其短语的全体意思与单词自身的意思则大相径庭,这便是习语的难点地点。每一种言语都有它共同的习语。一般说来,有些习惯用语从字面上看不出它们的切当意思,这是由于考生不行能从构成某个习语的字面上来懂得它的意思。另外还有些习语在不相同场合却表达不相同的意思,它们在词典上的解说是相同的,但是却有不相同的用法。所以在解这类标题的时分是需求堆集一些这方面的资料的.例如:

　　“in the pink” 是表明"身体很健康;精力充沛"的常用语。 当一段材猜中说:He is in thepink,那你就知道他必定感到身体极好。E.g. Our next door neighbor came back from the hospitalyesterday after his heart attack. And I'm glad to say he certainly looks in thepink again. 咱们的隔壁邻居心脏病发生进了医院,昨日他出院回家了。他看起来确实和以往相同健康,我很快乐。从这么的一个标题中咱们就不难推出疑问的答案了.

　　“sandwich generation” sandwich即是"三明治", generation即是"一代人"。所以,sandwichgeneration即是"既要赡养白叟,又要抚育下一代的人"。他们和夹在三明治傍边的肉相同夹在老一代和下一代当中。E.g. Older people tendto retire earlier and live longer these days. And if they don't have pensionsbig enough to live on, this means their children in the sandwich generation haveto bear the financial burden longer.老年人如今都对比早地退休了,他们的寿数也比以往长。假如他们的退休金不行保持日子的话,这就意味着他们的孩子既要抚育白叟,又要抚育他们自己的孩子,他们的经济负担时刻也就更长。实际上这句词语能够从字面上猜出其意义,捅破这层窗户纸, 答案不难得出了.

　　“under the weather”的意思是"我不太舒畅",与天气没有关系。例如: Mr. Jones, this is Sally Smith.I'm sorry, but I can't come to work today - I'm feeling a little under theweather. 琼斯先生,我是萨莉·史密斯。对不起,今天我有点儿不舒畅,所以不能去上班了。under theweather是有小毛病的时分最普遍的用法。所以在听力材猜中听到这个短语的时分就能够大约猜到疑问了, 一定是对于健康方面的.

　　解题技巧:

　　谈到习语, 没有太多的捷径, 只要熟练把握常用美国习语，精确理解其惯用语境合场合才能事半功倍.千万不要从词语的字面意思来揣摩词义，事实上，习语通常与该词的字面意思相差千里;再回答该类题型时，能够遵从这么一种逻辑：见到啥，不选啥。例如，再讲堂讲演完毕之前，教授一般会总结一下所论述的观念。教授说：To wrap up…咱们知道，wrap字面上作“包装，包裹”之意，但与up联系，即成了“总结”之意。在答案中遇到“包装，包裹”的字眼，完全能够不予理睬。例如:

　　(一)

　　Professor: I have chosen to limit this study to the reactions of Whitman’sadmirers for the simple reason that the opinions of his detractors have remainedstatic. Early critics, like later ones, violently objected to Whitman’stechnique and subject matter. Among them was Henry James, whose criticism wasnothing short of bitterness.

　　Narrator: Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer thequestion.

　　Professor: Among them was Henry James, whose criticism was nothing short ofbitterness.

　　What does the professor mean when he says this?

　　A: Henry James was one of the critics who had very few comments onWhitman.

　　B: Henry James was one of the critics who thought Whitman’s works lackedsweetness.

　　C; Henry James was one of the critics who firmly believed Whitman wasgood.

　　D: Henry James was among those who criticized Whitman’s worksintensely.

　　解析:

　　Nothing short of 是 “一点儿也不少,十分” 之意. 答案A,B将该习语强行分割开, 如将nothing 对应few, 将shortof 对应lack. 因而A,B 予以扫除. 答案C正好将词义舍本求末,也予以扫除. 答案为D.

　　因而精确答案为D.

　　(二)

　　What does big shot refer to?

　　A：Do you know Mr. Smith?

　　B：No, but I know of him. He’s a big shot in the local politics.

　　A：I’m told he’s only a yes-man.

　　B：Yes, I hate that. At present, what we want is a strong, independentleader, not a bunch of yes-man.

　　解析:

　　1. 经过上下文所议论的能够知道是在谈对于领导人的论题, 资料粗心:

　　甲：你知道史密斯先生吗?

　　乙：不知道，但我知道这人，他在本地政界是个举足轻重的人物。

　　甲：我传闻他是个和事佬。

　　乙：没错儿，我就恨这个。如今，咱们要的是强有力的、有主意的领导人，可不是和事佬儿。

　　2. 从上下文的揣度中,能够了解到big short 是指地位高有实力的这么一个人, 能够理解为”要人” 因而能够得到疑问的答案了.

　　托福代报提醒总归在做习语题的时分一定要多多堆集,依据资料的上下文去揣度.不要解说习语的字面意思, 脱离语境，制作混乱, 不精确或不完整的解说。
