高考临近,相信不少同学的听力环节还有些薄弱,接下来小编为大家搜罗了如何听关于人物关系、职业、身份的专题,希望能够帮助大家切实提高听力成绩!
关于人物关系、职业、身份等相关方面的听力试题要求在某一特定环境下,对说话人的身份进行推理与判断。该项内容的考查多是以who或what开头的特殊疑问句,其常问方式有:
What is the man (woman)?
What’s the man’s (woman’s) occupation (职业)?
Who is the man speaker?
What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
解这类试题时,我们可根据对话内容所提供的称呼语并结合生活常识进行判断。如:听到“Dear teacher”就可判断出二者之间为师生关系;听到“My dear, darling”就可判断为夫妻或其他家庭成员(如母子、父女等)之间的关系;听到“Can I help you?”或“What can I do for you?”就可判断为服务员与顾客之间的关系。所以,在平时的学习中,熟悉特定的场景用语和关键词,这对我们更好地解答有关人物关系、对话发生地点的题目会很有帮助。常见的特殊地点用语如下:
餐馆用语:restaurant, menu, bill, order, tip, hamburger, sandwich, soup, dish, beer, soft drink等;
医院用语:hospital, take medicine, temperature, pill, headache, fever, blood pressure等;
宾馆用语:hotel, luggage, single room, double room, room number等;
邮局用语:post office, mail, deliver, stamp, envelope, telegram等;
机场用语:airport, flight, take off, land等;
车站用语:railway station, round trip, single trip, sleeping car等;
商店用语:shop, on sale, size, color, price, change等;
学校用语:school, professor, exam, course, dining hall, playground等。
请看一个实例:
What is the relationship between the speakers? (全国卷)
A. They are friends.
B. They are strangers to each other.
C. They are husband and wife.
相应的录音原文是:
W: Excuse me, sir?
M: Can I help you?
W: My name is Jane Smith. I’m a designer, looking for a job.
M: See my secretary. She will set you up with the test.
W: When?
M: Next month.
W: I can’t wait that long.
M: Excuse me?
W: I can’t wait a month. I need something sooner.
M: I’m sorry.
此题要求判断听力原文中两者之间的关系,同学们只要抓住其中的My name is Jane Smith并结合常识,则很容易判断两者的关系是陌生人,如果是朋友或夫妻关系,那用得着介绍吗?故答案为B。
请再看一个实例:
Who is the woman talking to? (北京卷)
A. A student.
B. A teacher.
C. A secretary.
相应的录音原文是:
W: Oh, Frank’s in your class? He was in my class last term. I didn’t like him at all.
M: What? You didn’t like Frank? He’s one of my best students.
W: Oh, no. Not Frank! He was always asking questions. Frank always interrupted me and the other students. He was never quiet.
M: Yes, that’s Frank. That’s why he is such a good student. He is always thinking and trying to use English. He laughs a lot. Frank doesn’t worry about making mistakes. I enjoy having him in class.
W: Not me. I love students like David. Do you have him in your conversation class this term?
M: Yes, but to be honest, David is too quiet for me. I can’t tell if he’s learning. David is so silent. He doesn’t say anything.
W: Yes, that’s David. That’s how good students should be. They have to listen to their teachers.
注意题干的提问方式,其实际是问听力原文中男人的身份。了解这一点后,听力过程中就有了很明确的方向。根据男人的第一次对话中的He’s one of my best students就可以判定男人的身份是老师,这是一场两位老师谈论最喜欢的学生的对话。故答案为B。
