  咱们换个视点来谈听力,不谈语音,不谈词汇,不谈窍门,从逻辑思维这一层来分析,在单词都能听懂的情况下,怎么进步了解力。我要给我们介绍的办法是言语学中的词块法(lexical chunks),运用到听力里面,我称之为语块听力法。

  在言语学上,对语块的界说是这样的:"Chunks" refers to language that occurs in (semi-) fixed units and that we usually learn as one piece. Collocations, fixed expressions and idioms are all different kinds of chunks.(The TKT course) 听力的学习也离不开词组,孤零零地听单词只会像电脑翻译相同言不尽意,提取要害信息就愈加艰难。单个的词和词组或许能拼凑出大约的意思,可是没有构造的语句都只是词汇与词组的堆砌,堆到后边回忆紊乱,听力成灾。只要让单词成群,词组成块,运用逻辑,听力才会清晰。听起来这似乎是很大的工作量,可是假如养成杰出的思维习惯,让语块法内化,大脑便会主动对听力的语句进行切分组合,以到达迅速精确地了解。今日我将从词组和语句两方面来与我们探讨怎么运用词块法进步听力,比如取自TPO。

  1. 词组,包含固定调配,表达和习语等。

  以固定调配为例,即collocations。Collocations:words that regularly occur together。(The TKT course) 既然是固定的组合,那就请求我们堆集,除了帮助听力了解,白话写作时也是极好的资料。

  TPO4-4:

  Student: Not really. I’m worried about other two people in my group. They are just sitting back, not really doing their fair share of the work and waiting for an A. It’s kind of stressing me out, because we are getting close to the deadline and I feel like I’m doing everything for this project.

  Professor:Ah, the good old free rider problem.

  Student:Free rider?

  Professor:Ah, it’s just a term that describes this situation, when people in the group seek to get the benefits of being in a group without contributing to the work.

  Q. Why does the professor mention the ‘free-rider’ problem?

  A. To review a concept he explained in class.

  B. To give the student a plan to solve her problem.

  C. To clarify the problem the student is facing.

  D. To explain a benefit of working in groups.

  上文中“free rider”这一固定调配呈现了两遍且有命题,听力艰难有两点:1. 没注意到这个单词,不能定位题目;2. 听到的是单个的单词,不知道词组的意思。

  解题思路:根据其坐落problem前,和后边再次调配呈现,先断定 “free rider” 是词组且代指某个疑问,咱们暂时用“FR”记下,学生表达过诉苦“I’m worried about other two people in my group. They are just sitting back, not really doing their fair share of the work and waiting for an A.” 这句话没有生词没有调配,能够了解大意是其他人不干事。教师再次解说“it’s just a term that describes this situation, when people in the group seek to get the benefits of being in a group without contributing to the work.” 重申解说“term”,而且着重不做贡献。上下文翻译是搭便车者或坐收渔利者。听完发现本来咱们的思路也是一直在等教师解说单词,就会很快选出教师在给学生阐述这种景象的疑问,答案选C.

  还有几例,我们不妨自个做一做:

  They are taking credit for things they shouldn’t take credit for(接受荣誉). (Tpo4-4)

  I agree, good point. Yes, Beaux had high regard for (敬重)Sargent’s work. (Tpo19-6)

  2. 语句:简单句抑或长难句,许多都有固定的构造和逻辑关系,假如能用语块法进行处理猜测,会减少回忆容量,进步听力效率。

  TPO4-6:

  And as far as the public goes, well…there are about as many individuals who disagree with the government support as there are those who agree. In fact, with artists in particular, you have lots of artists who support and who have benefited from this agency, although it seems that just as many artists oppose a government agency being involved in the arts, for many different reasons, reasons like they don’t want the government to control what they create.

  Q: What does the professor say about artists’ opinions of government support for the arts?

  A. Most artists believe that the government should provide more funding for the art

  B. Most artists approve of the ways in which the government supports the arts.

  C. Even artists do not agree on whether the government should support the arts.

  D. Even artists have a low opinion of government support for the arts.

  “there are about as many individuals who disagree with the government support as there are those who agree.” 这句话中有很明显的调配as many...as,语块听力法就运用这种构造加以猜测,在听到as many individuals who disagree with the government support,猜测到后边会讲“disagree”的内容的话,思路清晰,内容精确。

  同理,“you have lots of artists who support and who have benefited from this agency, although it seems that just as many artists oppose a government agency being involved in the arts, for many different reasons, reasons like they don’t want the government to control what they create.” 这句话顶用的逻辑词是“although”,让步前的语块比较简单,艺术家支撑及因素,“although”呈现时根本判别后边的语块是对立,精确听出”oppose”(此处有连读artists -oppose,许多同学会听成suppose。最终还有因素解说这一语块“reasons like they don’t want the government to control what they create.”说明是不愿意支撑的,也能选出选项C。
