托福听力往往是模仿课堂中的一些讲座或者讨论日常化的语言决定了口语试插入语是少不了的。 甚至有的教授每句都出插入语。长长短短的停顿有时会让句子听起来支离破碎， 但同时有些停顿也是重要的信号提醒我们考点的出现 名词解释 语气 转折等等。下面前程百利小编为大家分享一篇听力文本段子的批注，让大家感受一下托福听力中的插入语。
Professor
Okay, uh, so last time we were talking about the expansion of the railroad (话题出来了第一句一定要挺清楚!)in the nineteenth century—why it was so important in the development of thesouthwestern United States. (论点就是 railway important)
Uh, we talked about acouple of things(重要提示
下面有列举): the railroadbrought about land speculation, and development of lands for timber and farmingand—well, and this is what I wantto talk about today(回顾结束 3点中阐发一点)—the railroads brought tourists. Theytraveled by train, viewing the landscape, and uh, came to get a taste ofwhat the “Wild West”(重读强调) was like. In the past 100 years, a whole tourismindustry has grown up around this idea. And uh, just like(开始打比方了
要注意)…ranching, orgold mining, it helped to integrate the Southwest into the economy of the restof the country…uh, tourism helpedintegrate the “culture” or life in the Southwest into…well, well kind of into the minds of the rest of thecountry. And large-scale tourism couldn’t have happened without theexpansion of the railroad.
So,(总结前面啰啰嗦嗦的一段
是重点中之重点)the railroad brought tourists, and tourists brought somechanges that I think are really interesting.Uh, the thing abouttourism that you should know first (听到序数词激动了), and this hasbeen determined by sociologists…sociologists say that tourists look for the familiar(这句听到下面几句必然是解释性的句子). Mosttourists don’t go someplace looking for new things. They go looking for thingsthey already know something about. Tourists will have some sense of the cultureof a place—maybe based on a stereotype or a generalization—but but(连结巴都用上了就是为了提醒你注意)that’s what theyexpect to see. And places that—deal with tourism, create things knowing this—they create what tourists are looking for.(后面的重点出现
用了N个波折号
表示间断
其实也是在提醒你注意考点啊) Take the Grand CanyonRailway(举例子了)…any of you been on it? (开始准备互动
自问自答一下) Well,this is a train that takes tourists to the GrandCanyon, and while you’re on the train, you see fake shootouts and gunfights.Now, the railroad running to the Grand Canyonwas never actually robbed. But tourists have this idea that this was whatthings were like in the “Wild West,” you know, gunfights and trainrobberies, and the tourist railway wants to make them happy. There’s a greatterm for this…(这里的停顿明显就是让你记下来那个术语的)it’s called stagedauthenticity. (慢读强调
术语出来了
In other words,(又开始解释了还是和上面同一个意思让你再听一遍同一种意思的明摆着有考题) people go to theGrand Canyon to see this fantastic natural landscape but they also want to geta sense of what it was like there during the real “Wild West.” Well, therailway knows this, so they try to re-create some of that cultural history. And,oh, and we also see this at the Grand Canyonwith the creation of Hopi House. Haveany of you visited Hopi House? (自问自答之后
开始向学生发问了)
Student A
I went there last year.
Professor
Could you tell the class whatit was like?
Student A
Yeah…it’s kind of a, a biggift shop…where they sell traditional crafts—jewelry, pottery... stuff likethat. And supposedly it’s really made by Hopi people, the people who livethere.
Professor
Anything else? What about the architecture?(其实就是引诱学生讲建筑
这里一定有题)
Student A
Oh, right. It’s an unusual building…it’s supposed to look like a real Hopi building, I think. (作为例子照应上文
又给了教授自问自答的机会)
Professor
Good, I noticed the same things.
(搞了半天还是自己想说) NowI’m not saying Hopi House is a fraud—the stuff they sell really is made by Hopiartists--but it’s still an example ofstaged authenticity. (这句话也有不流畅连贯的地方 but念得很长很重) Something I bet you didn’t know (讲重点了)…the Hopis never actuallylived in, or even near, the Grand Canyon. There was another Native Americanpeople who lived in the Canyon, known as the Havasupi [hah-va-SOOP-ee]. But the tourist company that ran theplace—it was called the Harvey Company—decided to hire the Hopi instead of theHavasupi. Can anyone guess why? (提出问题等教授解答再做笔记)
Student B
Were the Hopi better artists?I mean, did they make better things?
Professor
Not really. (自问自答准备开始记)The way Iunderstand it, the people at the Harvey Company were very good at making money, and they figured that theHopi people and the Hopi crafts wouldsell better to the tourists. (原因很目的都出来了
接下来是解释)So they built HopiHouse, and hired the Hopi people to work there and uh, one of those people, uh, (再次举例)a famous Hopi potter, was hired by the Harvey Company andshe worked to rebuild, or or kind of restructure, the Hopi pottery. It’snot sure whether this was her own doing or whether she was instructed to dothis but… archaeologists working at ancient sites in the Southwest uncovered potteryand she started copying the same style.
And, well there’s some debate about that/…whether (又结巴了) it was her idea or whether she was told to do it.
Either way, before you know it Hopi pottery was changing. It’s, it’s (又结巴了结尾有点)another case of the contradictionsof staged authenticity—certainly the Hopi pottery you buy there is real.I mean, (前后貌似矛盾
所以又要提醒你
他要解释一下)it does representthe pottery of the Southwest. Butthe Hopi people are not the traditional inhabitants of the Canyon, and theirart gets affected by the tourist market—the the Harvey Company basically changed history to make money.(最后一句是大实话的总结)
大家看到了吧 !基本上插入语后面总有重点出没的一定不要忽略：打结巴、 断断续续的插入语 ，这是ETS 拯救考生的善意啊!好了以上就是今天小编为大家分享的托福听力中的插入语，相信大家一定有所感悟，希望能在备考的路上助大家一臂之力。最后，小编预祝大家在托福考试中取得好成绩。
