托福听力备考:解析IBT主旨题
IBT听力主旨题特点:
在一段长演讲中,通常会有两个或以上的主要表述内容,但这些内容往往是相互关联的,它们互相补充构成一个完整的主题。
出题模式:
IBT听力主旨题的问题常常以特殊疑问词开头,例如:
Whatdoesannouncementmainlyabout?
A:Aparkinggarageclosureinholidays.
B:Problemsintheschool’sgarage.
C:Studentactivitiesonholidays.
D:Holidayemergencymeasures.

Whatarethemanandthewomandiscussing?
Whatisthetopicofthediscussion?

解题技巧:
在做IBT主旨题的时候一定要尽量把握文章的整体思路,可以从以下几个方面来进行:
1、记住谈话人语气加重所强调的人,事物或概念。
2、努力把握谈话或演讲中的关键词或短语。尤其要关注谈话人不止一次提到的词或短语。
3、从宏观上把握谈话或演讲的内容,提炼出讲话的主题。

Whatdoesannouncementmainlyabout?
A:Aparkinggarageclosureinholidays.
B:Problemsintheschool’sgarage.
C:Studentactivitiesonholidays.
D:Holidayemergencymeasures.
解析:
1.先总体把握材料提供的内容,讲的是这样的一件事:TheEastCampusGaragewillbeclodduringtheHolidaybreakfromThursday,December22,2005,10:30p.m.throughMonday,January2,2005,11:30p.m.
2.通过对材料的分析,可以了解到A为正确的答案。
3.B:Problemsintheschool’sgarage.答案过于精确。
4.C:Studentactivitiesonholidays.过于笼统,不正确。
第3页/总页数3页
5.D:Holidayemergencymeasures.过于笼统,不正确。
所以正确答案为A。
总之,在做IBT听力主旨题的时候,要把握住重点。排除过于笼统的答案,所表示的内容与谈话或演讲的核心主题脱节;和过于精确的答案,即据之一而非讲述主体。还要切记排除一些似是而非的答案和在上下文中并未被谈话人提及的答案。把握住这些要领,相信攻克IBT听力主旨题不再是一件难事
