先上原文：
Narrator
Listen to part of a lecture in a music class.
Professor
Today we are going to do something a little different. In the past few classes, we’ve listened to traditional music from around the world and we’ve talked about the characteristics of these music, what makes these styles distinctive, what kinds of instruments are used. And you’ve talked about what sounds familiar to you and what sounds strange. And many of you found some of what we’ve listened to very strange indeed.
Well, today I want to start talking about western music and I am going to start in ancient Greece. But, now here’s the part that’s different. We’re not going to talk very much about the actual music. Instead, we are going to talk about what the Greeks believed about music.
Now, there are some very good reasons to approach the material in this way. First, well, we don’t have very much ancient Greek music studied. Only about 45 pieces survived…uh…these are mostly records of poems and songs. And we are not sure how well we can reproduce the melodies or rhythms, because they were apparently improvised in many cases. So we really don’t know all that much about what the music sounded like.
What we do know about - and this really is the most important reason I am approaching today’s lecture the way I am - is the Greek philosophy about music and its continuing influence on western attitudes toward music.
Now, if we’re going to understand the philosophy, we have to first understand that music for the Greeks was about much more than entertainment. Yes, there was music at festivals and we have sculptures and paintings showing people listening to music for many of the same reasons that we do. But this isn’t the whole story.
The important thing about music was that it was governed by rules, mathematical rules. And for those of you who are also studying music theory, you’ll see that it is in fact highly mathematical.
Um…and for the Greeks, the same mathematical principles that govern music also govern the universe as well as the human character, the essence of personality. People’s characters were believed to be very sensitive to music. If you started playing around with the rules, you know, messing up the mathematical order, you could do serious harm. That’s why music was considered so powerful. If you knew the rules, it could do great good. But if you broke them, you could do great harm to the character of the listener.
So, we have this Greek idea that music is directly related to human character and behavior.
The philosopher, Plato, talks about this in the context of education. For Plato, music is an important element in education, but only the right kind of music. That means the kind of music that builds the kind of character a good citizen or a future leader would need. Yes. For Plato, there is a kind of music that instills the qualities of leadership, just as there is a kind of music that makes a person soft and weak.
Now, Plato has very specific, very conventional kinds of music in mind. He is not fond of innovation. There were musicians in Plato’s day who were experimenting with different melodies and rhythms. A definite no-no for Plato. He thinks that breaking with tradition leads to all sorts of social problems, serious problems, even the breakdown of the fabric of society. I am thinking back now to when I first started listening to rock ‘n’ roll and I remember my father saying it was a bad influence on us. I think he would have gotten along well with Plato.
Anyway, I don’t need to tell you what I think about Plato’s ideas about innovation, do I? Though I have to say it’s interesting that the same arguments against new music and art are still being made. Perhaps like the Greeks, we recognize, and maybe even fear the power of music.
这是一篇经典的艺术类的文章，在TPO听力中难度也算是中上了。那么哪些内容该是我们重点注意的呢?
1、文章的主旨
听力lecture中文章的主旨是必考题，每篇lecture都会有一道。
记住这些短语today,we gonna talk about last week,we talked about blablabla. However....
后面的就是答案，这是我们应该注意的地方。
2、教授列举理由、特性、方法的地方
这里要记下来reasons。比如Why should we blablabla? First或者there are three reasons blablabla当一听到这些标志词语的时候，就应该记下后面关键的点。
3、教授强调的地方
这也是一定会出题的地方。如同每学期期末考试之前，学生们都会央求着老师划重点。什么是重点，就是老师上课强调的地方。ETS出听力题目的目的是为了模拟实际上课的情形，以及考察学生去美国听课的能力。所以教授强调的内容，也就是ETS出题者强调的内容。废话不多说了。注意这些短语Most important， What you should know is blablabla.
4、教授解释概念的地方
教授先提出一个名词，或者某人的一个看法，然后解释这个概念或者阐述他的看法。这也是出题的重点。常见标志性词语：that means 见文章中绿色的地方。
5、教授举例子的作用
教授举例子的细节不需要记忆，但是例子的作用是ETS常考的地方。见文章中橙色的地方。
6、教授自己的观点
这种题目的出题概率仅次于文章的主旨题，而且往往和重听题放在一起考。需要注意的短语很简单，基本都是I think之类的。
7、文章的结尾
由于可以看到时间条，当听力文章快要到结尾的时候最需要注意。
下面看看这篇lecture后面的题目
Q6 what is the main topic of the lecture?
Q7 what two reasons does the professor give for approaching the
lecture material as he does? Click on 2 answers
Q8 according to the professor, what did the ancient Greek believe
about music?
Q9 according to the professor, what was Plato’s attitude toward
music?
Q10 why does the professor mention rock’n’roll music?
Q11 why does the professor say this?
可以看到题目的答案都在之前的重点里面，所以掌握了重点，就掌握了听力考试。
其他的重点还有两种事物的不同点，相同点，学生提出问题的解答等等。这些都会出现在ETS的考题里面。
练习方法：仔细分析TPO里面每一篇的出题点和出题思路，找准关键词。当你这样做了10个TPO之后就会发现，你可以自己去命题了。
好了，以上就是前程百利小编为大家整理的用事实说出托福听力的重点在哪?的相关内容。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，小编预祝大家在托福考试中取得好成绩。
