填空题型在雅思听力考试中分布范围很广,难度变化也很大,因此要考好雅思考试听力项,在填空题型中必须有稳定的发挥。要想攻克雅思听力填空题,需要掌握一些技巧。下面留学360专家为大家详细介绍雅思听力填空题预测技巧,希望对大家的雅思听力备考有帮助。
预测是利用生活常识、学科常识、语法常识,以及对各场景的熟悉,对答案进行事先判断,能够使听力更加主动。填空题预测主要分为两种形式:
1、精确预测
精准预测主要是针对section1,由于section1的考查内容一般相对比较简单,因此可以预测到具体考点,甚至是具体答案。
例:Cambridge 5 Test 4 Section 1 Question 1, 2, 9 & 10
Present address: Sea View Guest House, 1………………..
Best time to contact is 2........................
Maximum price: 9 £........................a week
Preferred starting date: 10........................
预测:根据题目内容结合Section 1中租房场景常考信息(包括:地址,房租,日期,联系方式,时间,设施,租房者英语水平等),预测四题的答案类型分别为地址,时间,房租价格和入住日期,这样在听题时可以更有针对性。
例:Cambridge 4 Test 3 Section 1 Question 8, 9 & 10
Write NO MORE THAN ONE WORD for each answer.
The 8........................will be $320.
She needs to pay the rent by cash or cheque on a 9........................
She needs to pay her part of the 10........................bill.
预测:根据题目内容结合租房场景中考到payment经常涉及的项目(包括:应付款项,付款方式,付款期限),预测Question 8答案范围rent, deposit & bill三选一;Question9为weekly, monthly, quarterly & annually四选一;Question 10 electricity, water, gas & telephone四选一,在听题时缩小答案范围。
例:Cambridge 6 Test 4 Section 3 Question 25
Current issues of periodicals are available at both libraries, although 25........................ issues are only available at Fordham.
预测:根据图书馆场景中Journal/Periodical的常见类型(current issue and back issue),结合题目中已经提到current issue两个图书馆都有,则仅在Fordham图书馆才有的期刊类型应该为back issue, 预测答案为back, 在听题时进行检测。
录音:Student: You haven’t mentioned periodicals. Are they held at both sites?
Librarian: Current issues, yes but if you wan to look at back issues you’ll need to use the CD-ROM databases which are held here at Fordham.
小结:精确预测非常依赖于听者对场景内容的熟悉,所以说场景是预测的基础;另外适用精确预测的题目对关键词的依赖并不大。但是这种类型的题目在考试中出现频率不高,主要集中于Section 1,在其他部分只是偶尔出现;而更为常见的是需要与关键词结合使用的第二种类型:范围预测。
2、范围预测
范围预测可以预测到答案大致范围或词性范围,由于预测范围不可能缩的很小,所以要与关键词配合使用。
例:Cambridge 5 Test 1 Section 2 Question 15
Choice Cots, Good points: Easy to 15........................
读题:划出关键词:名词Choice Cots, 形容词easy,但是需要注意可能会出现同意替换。
预测:根据语法结构,预测词性为动词,因此在听录音时要重点把握动词。
录音:The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together, unlike others we looked at.
解析:Choice Cots完全匹配,用以定位;easy to转换为simple to, 再针对性的去找verb., 得到答案为动词短语put together.
例:Cambridge 4 Test 1 Section 2 Question 11
Riverside Village was a good place to start an industry because it had water, raw materials and fuels such as ........................ and........................
读题:划出关键词:名词Riverside Village, water, raw materials, fuel,这些都是不易转换的词汇。
预测:根据题目内容,预测答案为燃料种类。
录音:The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.
解析:通过完全匹配的名词Riverside Village, water, raw materials & fuels来逐步定位,有针对性的听取答案为两种燃料:coal & firewood.
例:Cambridge 5 Test 2 Section 3 Question 25 & 26
Operating video camera.
Working with other people:
--learning about
25........................
--compromising
--26........................people who have different views
读题:划出关键词:名词video camera, 动词working together, compromising。
预测:本题属并列结构,雅思的并列结构中答案与题目形式趋同,因此预测25 & 26为动名词形式。
录音:Firstly, learned how to use a camera. And also I think I really learned a lot about working together with other people. I’ve never done anything with a group before, and we had to find ways of cooperating and compromising, and sometimes persuading people.
解析:通过完全匹配的关键词camera & working together逐步定位,随后针对性的听取动名词cooperating & persuading.
例:Cambridge 5 Test 2 Section 4 Question 38
Measuring changes in the ice-cap (because of effects on sea levels and 38........................)
读题:划关键词:名词ice-cap & sea levels。
预测:本题属对称结构,and前后不但词性相同往往内容形式也相同,因此预测答案很可能为环境方面的一个复数名词。
录音:Within this general field, surveying changes in the volume and stability of the ice-cap is vital, these may have profound effects on world sea levels and ocean currents.
解析:通过完全匹配的ice-cap & sea levels来逐步定位,随后听取环境词汇ocean currents,找到答案。
