托福听力考点之强调

托福听力考点之强调

备考托福听力时，听力原始能力的积累是必不可少，但同时也需要提升对于文章的考点敏感度，预测文章重点。上次给大家讲解了“举例”考点，这次给大家分析一下托福听力中关于“强调”的表达。

1.语气强调

听力文本中，说话人突然语音语调上扬惊讶、重读某单词或者突然停顿，这代表说话人强调了这句信息，此处会成为出题点。

比如，TPO1 conversation1

Librarian: All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any computer connected to the university network. Student:Really？I can’t believe I don’t know that.

学生这句Really？I can’t believe I don’t know that.语气突变，成为了出题点。

比如，TPO8 lecture2

Student:It had a lot of art schools and artists who taught painting. There were, our book mentions classes for women artists. And it was a good place to go to study art.

Professor:If you want to become an artist, Paris was not a good place to go; Paris is the place to go.

教授这句Paris is the place to go中重读the这个单词，成为了的出题点。

2. 特殊词汇强调

托福听力材料中我们经常会听到那些本身含以上就有特殊含义的词汇和结构。比如：especially，‘尤其是’语义上就表示强调，所以这词后面的内容一定就是我们的考点。这种托福听力技巧可以帮助考生很好的理解考点，类似的单词还有special,、make sure、indeed、important、particular词义本身即是一种强调，所以要着重注意这些词后面的内容。

比如，TPO1 lecture1

But what’s really interesting is that there are no spaces between them, no streets in other words, and so generally no doors on the houses either. People walked around on the roofs and entered the house through a hatchway on the roof, down a wooden ladder. And it also looks like they made their tools near the fire.

教授这句But what’s really interesting is that there are no spaces between them......就成为了的出题点。

3.级别强调

级别强调包括比较级和最高级强调。比较级包括形容词副词本身的比较级，因为比较就有观点，观点就出考点，最高级更不言而喻，所以一定要特别注意那些带有级别性质的词或结构。比如：-er、-est、more、most、maximum、minimum等。

比如，TPO24 lecture1

......crocodiles can vocalize many different sounds. This is more typical of mammals than of reptiles. I mean, crocodile’s brains are the most developed of any reptiles. In that sense, they are closer to mammal’s brains than other reptile’s brains. And we know that mammals, dogs for example, dogs can vocalize many different sounds. Crocodiles have a similar level of vocal sophistication…

教授将mammal和reptile比较，此处作为出题点。
