自从老托福转变成新托福以来，听力考试就一直是考生的一个挥之不去的梦魇，个位数听力分数的惨案时有发生。究其原因，有些考生直接了当告诉笔者，他连讲啥内容都没有听懂，只知道和某个论题有关。这在听力中是丧命的，由于就算是听力的宗旨题问得也不仅仅是论题，而是大论题之下的一个分类。打个比方，一个学生在听力中重复听到memory, infant 这两个词，感受这篇文章是讲婴儿记忆力的，可是宗旨题让你选three explanations for infantile amnesia。这就无形中增加了难度。俗话说，擒贼先擒王。听一篇学术讲座的听力假如连讲座宗旨也没搞懂，再持续往下听也是徒劳。

为了让新托福考生能从容应对听力考试，咱们首要来看一下，如何把学术讲座的听力来听懂？

浅显点来说，每一个托福听力都是一个有最初有结束的讲座，只不过学术听力长度6-7分钟，是正式讲座的微缩版。麻雀虽小，五脏俱全。95%的讲座人都会在最初将他今日要讲的宗旨给抛出来，也即是说，当考生能捉住讲座人抛宗旨的语句，宗旨题也就稳操胜券了。通常来说，托福学术听力的最初的形式是多种多样的。教授使用各种形式最初，无非即是为了导致学生的注意，因此可谓是用尽了各种手段和套路。可是仅有不变的即是每个讲座人都会把宗旨放在这么一个句型结构中：Today, I’d like to talk about~~~/ Let’s begin our class by talking~~/ So today I want to talk about~~/以及将宗旨句的语速放缓，语调上加剧口气。

可是考生会问，我究竟要等多久才能听到宗旨句呢？通过概括与总结，笔者将最初按主要性分为以下三种：

1.直奔主题型:这类最初三句话以内一定有第一题的答案。这一类教授通常都归于研究类人员，没有过多的说辞。而70%以上的新托福学术听力都归于这一类最初。而直奔主题型的最初又内部分为

先回忆上一次讲堂内容，然后牵引出今日的主题

Example:

What is the discussion mainly about?

○Catherine de Medici’s entertainments

○The figures for court dancing

●The development of ballet

○The relationship between dance and meals

原文最初Sorry about the tests. I don't have them finished. They just took longer to grade than I thought they would. So . . . I'll have them for you next time. Okay then. Let's begin our discussion of the ballet. . . .

直接将今日的宗旨引出

Example：

What does this lecturer mainly discuss?

●Transcendentalism

○Puritanism

○Ralph Waldo Emerson

○Nature

原文最初：Professor: Today we'll discuss Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism . . .which is a philosophical and literary movement that developed in New England

in the early nineteenth century.

2.信息充满型:这类最初学生易遭到严重冲击，教授喜欢堆砌很多有关却与主题不符的信息在最初，等学生听到晕时再抛出主题，旨在显现自个的学术位置，多为科普类文章居多，这类最初术语颇多，就算压不到你也恶心死你。这类最初通常颇长，可能有1-2分钟的废话，考生一旦听不懂就有些想扔掉。可是考生一定要遵循“不扔掉，不扔掉”的精神，坚持到听到宗旨句。

Example：

What is the lecture mainly about?

○The process of photosynthesis

●The major types of oil traps

○A method for collecting gas

○A comparison of gas and oil

原文最初：Professor: The original source of energy is what? The Sun. Then plants use the Sun's energy during photosynthesis to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen, and they store the energy in the chemicals that the plant produces. When animals eat plants, the energy is transferred to their bodies. So then, the plants and animals die and decay, and they sink to the bottom of the sea or . . . or disintegrate into the soil and then they're covered by more and more sediment as rivers deposit mud and sand into the sea or the seas advance and retreat. Of course, it's a very gradual process . . . one that takes place over, well, millions of years. But finally, the organic material begins to transform into the hydrocarbons, and the hydrocarbons eventually become oil and gas deposits. So how does this happen? Well, at first, the oil and gas are mixed with sand and sediment but . . . as the layers on top increase, then so does the pressure. And under pressure, mixtures of oil and sand and water . . . they seep down through the layers of porous rock . . . that's usually sandstone or limestone . . . so they sink down until they reach a layer of nonporous rock, and that's where they pool because they can't pass through the nonporous rock.

Okay. Sometimes there are breaks in the layers of rocks and the breaks allow oil and gas to bubble up and . . . and eventually they reach the surface of the Earth again. So, when this happens, the gas and some oil evaporate into the air . . . but they leave a sticky black tar that appears in pools or pits on the surface. But most crude oil is found in underground formations, which we call traps.

So today, I want to talk about the major types of oil traps.In all the different types of traps, the oil collects in porous rocks, along with gas and water. And, over time, the oil moves up toward the surface of the Earth through cracks and holes in the porous rock . . . until it reaches a nonporous rock deposit . . . and the nonporous rock, remember, it won't allow the oil to continue moving. So the oil becomes trapped under the nonporous rock deposit.

3.花哨型:这种类型的最初噱头实足，之前会举出和主题无关的很多信息，然后再引导学生进入主题。比方举例，发问等等。可是这些都不主要，由于在宗旨题没有呈现之前，别的标题是不会呈现的，托福的命题次序是依照讲座听力往下走的。

Example：

What is the discussion mainly about?

○The history of the English language

●Different types of grammar

○A linguistic perspective for Latin

○Standard language in schools

原文最初：Professor: What comes to mind when I say the word grammar?

Student 1: That's easy. English class and lots of rules.

Student 2: Memorizing parts of speech . . . like nouns and verbs.

Student 3: Diagramming sentences.

Professor: Well, yes, that's fairly typical. But today we're going to look at grammar from the point of view of the linguist, and to do that, we really have to consider three distinct grammars for every language.
