新托福口語中的各個詞的分量不盡相同,有的起著關鍵的作用;段落是由句子構成的,然而同一段落中的各個句子的分量也是不盡相同的,今天小編給大家帶來了托福口語語速如何把握,希望能夠幫助到大家,一起來學習吧。
托福口語語速如何把握
一般而言,對于關鍵詞和關鍵句應該慢讀,做到充分理解,牢牢把握;而對非關鍵詞和非關鍵句應加快閱讀速度,留出多于時間,用以反復閱讀重點句或歸納總結。例子如下:
例1:
A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seems so ordinary that the people in the society think they are not significant.
在讀的過程中我們很容易找到關鍵詞,如:cultural anthropology, the special and strange aspects of life, but, anthropologists, interested, ordinary, significant。這些關鍵詞反映了此句的主要信息:"許多人認為文化人類學就是研究特殊而奇怪的社會現象,但人類學家有時還對一些人們認為不重要的、看起來很普通的生活現象感興趣。"通過分析關鍵詞,我們又發現"but"這個具有轉折意義的連接詞,它向我們顯示了此句的后半句才是整個句子的核心部分,它提示我們閱讀時應更加留心閱讀后半句的關鍵詞,提煉關鍵信息。因此,我們可以很肯定地確認此句最重要的意義應該是:"Anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life so ordinary that people don’t think they are significant."并且也可以很肯定地預測,如有下文,也一定是就后半句所反映的核心信息繼續論述,而不是前半句的。這樣,在閱讀時,我們就會把目光把注意力更加有目的地集中在后半句的關鍵詞上,而對那些附加修飾、說明的部分,如:修飾people的a lot of 、in the society就可以快速閱讀,甚至略去不讀,因為它并不影響我們對中心意思的理解與把握。
例2:
Smell and Memory
Scientists are producing an increasing number of findings on the links between smell and memory. The most prominent scientist in this field is Dr. Alan Hirsch, a US neurologist who specializes in the treatment of patients who have lost their sense of smell or taste. He believes that the memories that certain smells bring back to people are not actually as important as the emotions that are associated with the smells. He also argues that our minds filter these emotions in a positive way, making past times seem better than they perhaps were.
首先,我們注意到這個段落的題目是"Smell and Memory",我們從題目中還得知了中心思想。因此我們可以得知本段主要論述的應是smell and memory之間的聯系,由此找到了關鍵詞語"the links between smell and memory"(在段首),而能說明它們之間關系的句子又是最后一句。所以,這個段落的核心信息是:"Some smells remind us of a previous thing in a way that is better than the real experience."由此判定,本段的首尾部分都需細心地、稍慢地閱讀,而對"最著名的;專門治療何種病人的"這樣相對次要的句子就可以加快閱讀速度。
托福口語:間接轉述的技巧
1.間接轉述(Indirect Speech)
口語復述的實質是將聽到的和看到的話語用自己的話以口頭方式再轉達出來。“直接引述”是直接引用說話人的原話,而要用自己的話把別人的意思轉述出來就稱為“間接轉述”。托福口語考試中一般應采用“間接轉述”的方法:針對特定問題,用自己的話把讀到、聽到的對話內容或演講內容再重復出來。對考生來說,這當然是一個更高層次的要求。因為,首先要聽得懂、讀得懂別人的觀點,其次才能在此基礎上進行加工處理,變為自己的語言再陳述出準確意思來。這時候,“善于把別人的東西據為己有”就不再是一個“惡劣的行徑”了。此時此刻,它將轉化為一個極為有效的、甚至是高效的手段,以此來達到“借雞下蛋”的目的。
請看下面幾例:
例1:My mother said: “I’m so tired that I don’t want to cook. Shall we eat out tonight?”
My mother said that she was so tired that she didn’t want to cook and she suggested that we should eat out that day.
例2:Tom said: “I’ve already seen the film.”
Tom said that he had already seen the film.
間接轉述應注意以下幾點規則:
⑴ 在轉述的引語前一般要用連詞that:(如例1、例2所示);
⑵ 要根據意思改變人稱(如例4所示);
⑶ 當要轉述的言語為連貫的話語時,應用go on(繼續),continue(接著),add(補充)等,以及各種引述動詞,如:note(指明),remark(談及)
⑷ 間接轉述不是重復原話,因此,時態要有所變動。一般來講,現在時變為過去時,過去時變為過去完成時。指示代詞、地點及時間狀語也要作必要改動。這種改動大致可參照下表進行。
2.釋義、意譯(Paraphrasing)
Paraphrase (to express in a shorter or clearer way what someone has written or said) 就是用你所知道的,或者對你來說較容易的詞匯、短語、以及語法去解釋那些較為難懂的語句。
3.概述(Summarizing)
Summarize (to make a short statement giving only the main information and not the details of a plan, event, report, etc.) 就是用簡練話語概括描述一篇材料的中心思想。
