托福听力新闻1+2+3法

信息来源:网络  发布时间:2015-06-26

  今天前程百利小编为大家分享的是托福听力新闻1+2+3法。大家可以参考一下这些备考经验,看看自己应该如何攻克托福听力

  英语新闻听力是英语听力训练的一个重要方法。英语新闻也是训练英语听力一个很好的素材,但是如何利用VOA BBC等新闻素材锻炼听力,在锻炼新闻听力的过程中应如何把握听力的理解以及其中的主次要方面?在我看来,听懂英语新闻其实并不难,在这里推荐大家使用1+2+3的新闻听力法来解决,即一个中心,两个重点,三个注意。

  一、“一个中心”任何新闻,无论中文还是英文,都会按照新闻事实重要性的程度由要点到细节逐步扩展,安排全文。那么新闻开头的部分,也就是我们常说的新闻导语(the news lead),就应涵盖整篇文章的主旨,听懂导语对于文章意思的把握至关重要。导语往往会包含以下几个要素:

  1.时间 (when)

  2.地点 (where)

  3.人物 (who)

  4.事件 (what)

  5.过程 (how)

  6.目的 (why)

  这也就是中文新闻中的“六要素”,掌握了这些内容,整个新闻听力的主旨就已经把握了,然后要做的就是对下文进行预测 (prediction),文章的思路也就在脑中初步形成了。

  注意:有的时候,导语并不都包含所有的六个因素,也可能只包含其中的几个关键因素,而其他因素会在后文详细阐明。

  例如:Two French newsmen held hostage for two and one half months are flying home to France.

  这一新闻导语包含了以下几个要素:

  Who:two French newsmen

  What:flying home to France

  通过以上信息,我们可以清楚的预测新闻下面讨论的是什么,比如两个法国记者是怎么被抓的,又怎么放回来的等等。如果事先可以预测出下文的内容,那么对于下文的听力也有了一定的导向性,听起来就容易很多了!

  二、“两个重点” 新闻的正文可能会很长,但是基本所有新闻的正文都可以归纳为两个重要内容:事实陈述(statement)和观点态度(attitude)。只要把所听到的任何信息点归纳到这两个内容上,那么新闻的条理性就可以轻松的呈现了。

  1. 事实陈述

  一般会以客观的形式进行新闻的描述,比如新闻相关发生的事件等。

  2. 观点态度

  在新闻中,大部分时候会出现评论的句子,这些评论可能来自当事人,专家,观察员,新闻作者等等。抓住这些评论对把握新闻的发展方向和作者的观点至关重要。

  听力中,这些评论往往都有一些提示性的词语出现,比如say, comment, think等等,帮助我们辨别该句子为观点态度。

  注意:很多时候事实陈述和观点态度在新闻正文中是穿插进行的。

  三、“三个注意”

         1. 记笔记方法:

  同样,采用分类流程图方式记新闻笔记是一个十分有效的办法。首先笔记第一行提炼导语的关键字进行总结。其次,将笔记下方分为两个部分,左边为事实陈述,右边为观点态度,练习听力的时候将这些穿插的事实陈述和观点态度分别记录在左右两栏中,一篇文章听下来,结构思路就已经相当清晰了。

  2. 扩大词汇量

  联系听力之前首先对于听力常用词汇进行熟悉可以达到一个事半功倍的效果。Special VOA节目的常用词汇约为1500个,很多词语重复率很高,这些高频词汇应重点掌握。其次,新闻报道是有关世界范围的,涵盖面广,除了普通词汇高频词汇以外,还应该掌握一些专有词汇,比如人名,地名,国家名等等,有助于我们理解听力内容。

  3. 关于缩略语和数字

  新闻中有很多时候会用到缩略语,比如世界各大组织,国家等等。应事先对于这些缩略语有一定的总结和掌握,方便练习听力的时候灵活运用。

  对于新闻中出现的数字,可以采用前面提到的数字听写方法来听写。这里就不多做解释了。另外,新闻中往往会出现一些数字有不同的读法,比如播音员把两个足球队比赛结果2:0读作two to nothing而不是读成two to zero.

  四、综合举例下面请看一段special voa的听力原文:

  Israel has begun to prepare for early elections expected in April or May. Prime Minister Ehud Barak agreed to call early elections in a surprise announcement this week. Parliament had threatened to dismiss his government and force new elections.

  Mr Barak has lost support far failing to end the violence in the West Bank and Gaza.. About 300 people have died so far, mostly Palestinians. Israel took control of those areas in the 1967 war. Palestinian protesters demand an end to Israeli occupation.

  Mr Barak is also blamed far failing to reach a final peace agreement in talks near Washington in July. Mr Barak offered Palestinian rule aver 90 percent of the West Bank and Gaza. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rejected his proposals.

  Mr Barak is a former general who campaigned for office on promises to work for peace. He heads the Labor Party. Israelis elected him to a four-year term in May of 1999. Mr Barak won a huge victory over former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

  Mr Netanyahu withdrew from politics after his defeat. But observers say he is preparing for a return. In fact, they say he could defeat Ariel Sharon, the leader of the opposition Likud Party, as that party's candidate for Prime Minister-

  Many people blame Ariel Sharon for the current situation in the Palestinian territories. The violence began in September, after he visited a holy place in Jerusalem sacred to both Muslims and Jews. With him were hundreds of Israeli soldiers and police. He said he wanted to show Israeli control over the Holy City.

  For the past several weeks, Prime Minister Barak had been seeking an emergency coalition with Likud in an effort to end the violence. But he refused to give Mr Sharon the power to veto peace efforts. Ariel Sharon is strongly disliked among Arabs for his part in Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon.

  Mr Barak will remain Prime Minister until the elections. Experts say in order for him to win a second term, he must reduce the violence in the West Sank and Gaza. They say he also needs a major peace deal with the Palestinians- The Palestinians say they want a permanent agreement, one that would create an independent Palestine with east Jerusalem as its capital.

  对于这一段原文,我们按照刚才所讲到的知识,可以简单进行分析。首先从导语中我们可以看出这则新闻的几个关键要素,即:

  who: Israel

  what: prepare for early elections

  when: in April or May.

  对于正文部分,我们可以进行分类分析,从正文讲到的,大部分新闻的正文部分基本可以分为两个部分事实陈述以及观点态度,那么我们在记录笔记的时候也按照这个思路分类进行记忆。按照这样的方法,可以清晰地回忆出原新闻的逻辑结构以及逻辑关系,并且回忆起原文的主要内容。比如这个例子中,从导语我们可以清楚地看出新闻的主要内容是什么,对于具体内容,我们进行如下分类记笔记:

  Opinions:

  Barak: call in a surprise announcement

  P: dismiss; force new election

  O: N will return; defeat Sharon

  MP: blame Sharon violence

  E: must reduce violence; a major peace deal

  Pale: permanent agreement

  Statements:

  Barak: fail to end the violence

  Fail to reach a final peace agreement

  Promise to work for peace

  Sharon: visit holy place

  Barak: seek coalition
