托福听力中笔记记得好不好直接关系到答对题目的个数，所以笔记很重要。笔记怎么记这个问题一直困扰着许多的同学。今天前程百利小编以一篇生物类的文章为大家举例讲解托福听力生物类的笔记应该怎么记。在本文中小编不仅教大家怎么记而且还可以为托福听力生物类积累背景知识。
A common response to seeing an ant inside your house is to stomp(跺脚，践踏，重踏) on it. But if you crush a member of the ant species Tapinoma sessile, you might catch a whiff (一点点)of a strange smell—a smell that reminds some people of blue cheese, rancid (adj. 腐臭的;令人作呕的，讨厌的)butter or rotten coconut. In fact, the smell is so noticeable(显而易见的) that the insect’s common name is the “odorous house ant(香家蚁).” And many people call it the coconut ant.
本段主要说的是蚂蚁被踩死后会有味道，所以有一种蚂蚁被称为“香家蚁“。所以在记笔记时ant为重点 ，这个名词是一定要记录下来的，然后蚂蚁怎么样，它怎么了。这就是记笔记的重点。
In an effort to figure out why people have these reactions, researchers enlisted(征募) visitors at an event called the North Carolina Bug Fest. One-hundred-forty-three volunteers smelled smushed ants and were asked to identify the scent from four choices: blue cheese, rancid butter, rotten coconut or just other. Although Web sites overwhelmingly call the smell rotten coconut, almost 40 percent of the human judges picked blue cheese and about 25 percent picked rotten coconut. More than 30 percent went with the choice of other.
这段的主要内容是不同的人群对蚂蚁的味道有不同的定义，自愿者中40%人认为是蓝奶酪味。本段笔记的重点就是数字数据部分，什么人，有多少人认为老鼠是什么味道。可以采取人，数据，味道，记笔记。
The scientists then analyzed the chemicals responsible for the ant odor, as well as the smelly chemicals in blue cheese, fresh coconut and coconut buried underground for three days. It turns out that the chemistry of the ants’ scent is indeed similar to that of blue cheese and rotten coconut. But not to fresh coconut. And the researchers note that the Penicillium microbes that turn coconut oil rancid are also involved in the production of blue cheese. The study is in the journal American Entomologist.
本段主要说的是经过研究表明蚂蚁身上的味道和叶子的味道比较相似，但是不是新鲜椰子的味道。所以记笔记时要注意but后面的内容，很容易考细节题，一般转折后面的内容才是重点。
The researchers also noted that the most common write-in candidate as a description for the ants’ aroma was “cleaning spray.” And one little girl told them that the ants “smelled exactly like her doctor.”
还有人称这种蚂蚁为抗菌清洁器，这里比较容易出推断题，这么称呼蚂蚁是因为蚂蚁的味道比较好闻，所以也是笔记的重点，要看cleaning spray是贬义还是褒义。
好了，以上就是前程百利小编为大家整理的托福听力生物类笔记法。相信大家一定有所收获，希望能在备考的路上助大家一臂之力。最后，小编祝大家在托福考试中取得好成绩!
