(二)听说不分家,听力文本照用不误
此处需要说明的是此处的听力文本并非托福口语综合部分的听力文本,而是听力单项里的听力文本。听力单项里的对话以及涉及到商业,心理学,生物的讲座(商业,心理学,生物是口语综合题考查重心)都是非常好的备考托福口语的素材。相信任何一位有经验负责人的听力老师都会给你布置的一项听力作业是精听精读,那么在精听精读的过程如果遇到好的词组,句子,甚至是例子何不摘录下来,形成自己的语料库,这样不仅上文中提及的益处可以尽收囊中,还可以加强对听力部分的实力,何乐而不为?
示例如下:
TPO 17 Lecture 4 Biology (Octopus)
原文截取:Well, let me back up here a second. Anyone ever heard of Proteous? Proteus was a God in Greek mythology who could change form. He could make himself look like a lion or a stone or a tree, anything you wanted, and he could go through a whole series of changes very quickly. Well, the octopus is the real world version of Proteus. Just like Proteus, the octopus can go through all kinds of incredible transformations. And it does this in three ways: by changing color, by changing its texture, and by changing its size and shape. For me, the most fascinating transformation is when it changes its color. It’s a normal skin color, the one it generally presents, is either red or brown or even grey, and it ’s speckled with dark spots. But when it wants to blend in with its environment to hide from its enemies, it can take on the color of its immediate surroundings: the ocean floor, a rock, a piece of coral, whatever.(172)
利用这段文字,我虚拟了一本书,可以用来回答所有与书相关的题目。
The book named Undersea World.
It introduced me into a brand new world. You know, I was totally overwhelmed by richness of undersea world, especially the chapter about octopus. It says the octopus is the real-world version of Proteus, a god in Greek mythology who can go through a series of transformations. Just like Proteus, the octopus can go through all kinds of incredible transformations. Wow, it’s really amazing.
