1. 遞進和并列
聽到這類詞時他們前后的詞匯都不要忽略,但要把重點放在后面的詞匯上,因為這類詞本身就表示同一事物意思的遞進和增補。表示遞進和并列的詞匯包括and/besides/moreover/inaddition等等。
例如,你會看到題目:To open an account, you should take___ and a letter ofenrolment.
你會聽到錄音:In addition to this, most banks ask you to bring your passport andyour letter or certificate of enrolment.
2. 比較和對比
聽時要注意表示比較和對比的詞匯,基本詞匯是as...as..., than, in contrast/bycontrast.提醒大家的是,有一些詞本身就是表示比較的含義的,單純看詞形是不知道比較關(guān)系的,這類詞要重點掌握,往往是考點,他們包括overrun,outstrip,exceed,outdo,outweigh,surpass,ratherthan等,甚至beat都是用來表對比的。
例如,
1). 你會看到題目:More cans are produced than nails or _____.
你會聽到錄音:It outstrips the production of nails or paper clips.
2). 你會看到題目:一個物體填空題,填各部分名稱,并給一個簡單介紹。題目:____at base.
你會聽到錄音:It‘s thicker at bottom.
3). 你會看到題目:School B wins school A in_____.
你會聽到錄音:School A outdoes school B in swimming while school B has itsstrength,it beats school A in basketball.
3. 轉(zhuǎn)折和否定
聽時要重點聽這類詞后面的話,因為這些詞暗示考生說話者下面要講的是全新的信息,與剛才提到的內(nèi)容是不同的,所以才否定,才轉(zhuǎn)折,這類詞后面的信息是考察重點,這類詞包括However,but,yet,onsecond thoughts,on the other hand以及No, not really。尤其不要忽略表達否定意義的單詞如,rarely,seldom, never, little, few, scarcely, hardly等。
例如,你會看到題目:She ordered ____for lunch.
你會聽到錄音:No,on second thoughts, I’ll have a cheese and tomato sandwich.
