摘要:最适合反复听的听力材料是什么呢?个人见解:就是TPO。尽管很多人都说TPO其实是ETS出的不好的废题或者TPO其实比真实考试难度有所降低,但在我看来,TPO仍是所有备考资料中最最接近真实考试思路的,毕竟它是ETS出品啊!我们可以经由TPO来推敲ETS的考试思路。
Student: Cool, that’s great!(语气转变) Too bad I cannot do this from home。
Librarian: But(转折) you can. All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any computer connected to the university network。
Student: Really?! (语气转变,这种惊讶的语气比之前那种兴奋的语气更容易成为考点)I can’t believe I didn’t know that。(5) It still sounds like it’s going to take a while though, you know(强调,you know,你听听,you should know啊!因为这就是考点!这里学生说自己觉得资料太多啊,怎么办,老师的回答考到了), going through all of that information, all of those sources。(3)
Librarian: Maybe, but you already narrow your search down to articles on Dream Interpretation, so it shouldn’t be too bad. And you probably notice that there’s an abstract or summary at the top of the first page of the article you copied。(3) When you go into the databases and electronic sources, you have the option to display the abstracts on the computer screen, skimming those to decide whether or not you want to read the whole article should cut down some time。
Student: Right, abstracts!(重复,将librarian的话重复了一遍,更加说明是考点了) They’ll definitely make the project more durable. I guess I should try out the electronic search while I’m still here then, you know, just in case。(4)(接近对话尾声的部分,不要遗漏,通常会考)
Librarian: Sure, er… that computer’s free over there, and I’ll be here till five this afternoon。
Student: Thanks, I feel a lot better about this assignment now。
