托福听力“重听题”出题套路解析及答题技巧分享

上次，我们讲解了高分必备的并列关系与比较题型，很多同学掌握后，对并列和比较的判断都精准了很多。但是最近上课，又发现很多同学都都会在重听题上犯错，很多同学反应完全不知道重听题要从哪里入手，感觉每道题思路都不一样。今天我们就来详细说说重听题。一般重听题都出现在篇章的最后，一般一场听力考试中，会出现3-4道重听题，重听题是没有顺序的，出题位置可能在篇章的任意一个位置。其问题形式一般有以下几种类型：

- What does the professor imply when he says this? - Why does the student say this? - What does the professor mean when she says this? - What can be inferred from the student when she says this? - What does the woman mean when she says this?

从OG官方分类上，重听题属于pragmatic understanding questions的一种，意思是考察对某一句话作用的理解，或者对说论人态度的理解。所以，重听题不是一种题型，而是两种题型：功能题和态度题。所以在解题时，我们要同时思考重听句是满足了某个句子功能？或者表达了说话人的某种态度？只要思考这两个方面，这个题就迎刃而解。

接下来，我们分别看一下功能型重听和态度型重听的答题注意事项。

托福听力功能型重听题

功能型重听题考察的是某句话在语境中的功能作用。一般常考的功能有：解释举例，建议，鼓励，强调，指出错误，例证等。此外，我们在听音频时，也会有一些考点提示我们可能会出重听题：如特殊问答，特殊语气等。当我们听到类似考点时，就要警惕这里会出题。

例题1：21-L4-Q6

[audio mp3="https://www.testdaily.cn/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/getvoice-3.mp3"][/audio] Why does the professor say this: A. To influence the students' opinions about Alice Neel's work. B. To suggest that Alice Neel created her best paintings late in her career. C. To reinforce the fact that Neel's work was not appreciated. D. To show that Alice Neel's situation was similar to his own.

答案：?

重听句：And I guess you might say, she experienced difficulties as an artist. She was in her 70s, before she had her first major solo exhibition. 重听句的意思是：Alice Neel艺术生涯比较坎坷，直到70岁才有了第一场个人展。通过重听句语境，我们可以知道，后一句70岁才有个人展是对前一句艺术生涯坎坷的具体解释。所以这个题考察的是句子功能中的解释功能。 此外在听音频时，我们也要关注意音频中的重音，如：70s, first, solo, exhibition. 因为重听题经常会有一些语气提示。而往往重读这种强烈语气，实际上表示的就是一种特殊强调。所以从这里的重读和放慢语速，我们要预测到，这里可能会出重听题。结合考点和句子功能，这个题的答案应该是【C】

例题2：7-L1-Q6

[audio mp3="https://www.testdaily.cn/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/getvoice-4.mp3"][/audio] Why does the professor say this? A. To help students understand the meaning of a new term B. To indicate that his point is not related to the main topic of the lecture C. To emphasize one element of a play over all others D. To begin to summarize the main points of the lecture

答案：?

重听句：This is the inciting incident. It sets off the plot of the play. 重听句的意思是：这就是诱发事件，诱发事件促进戏剧情节的发展。这句话首先给了一个专有名词，然后对这个专有名词的含义进行解释，让我们了解专有名词的含义。所以it set off the plot of the play是解释功能。 另外，这句话里也包含语气，教授说set off the plot of the play语调是有起伏的，听我们听到语调起伏时，要注意可能会有重听题。所以这个题的答案是【A】

例题3: 71-C1-5

[audio mp3="https://www.testdaily.cn/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/getvoice-5.mp3"][/audio] Why does the man say this: A. To find out where the student got her information B. To inform the student that she has misunderstood something C. To signal that he needs more time to think about the student's problem D. To admit that he does not know how the delivery process works

答案：?

重听句：Wait, who said something about delivery? 这个题需要结合上下文语境，前面学生说在宿舍没有等到有人送货上门，然后出现重听句，老师问：是谁说的这个配送方式呢？然后后面解释，是需要学生自己去排队取的，而不是送货上门。所以联系上下文语境，老师提出的这句话是在提出学生的错误。所以这个题的答案是【B】

托福听力态度重听题

态度重听题，指的是重听句包含说话人的态度。一般来讲，态度包含积极，消极，中立，广为接受/有争议，困惑，激动等。相关信号词包括：

●惊讶：Really；I couldn’t believe…… ●支持/赞扬：great；that’s exactly what I mean；Fabulous; Magnificent; Excellent; Terrific; Awesome; Amazing; Fantastic; Incredible; Outstanding，masterpiece ●反对：think carefully, critically, but, too bad, it’s a good …，but…; ●委婉拒绝：Sounds great, but…/ Sounds like fun, but…/ that’ s tempting, but… ●可惜：what a shame/ that’s too bad./ I’m sorry to hear that/ tough luck等

接下来，我们来看例题。

例题1: 22-L3-Q6

[audio mp3="https://www.testdaily.cn/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/getvoice-6.mp3"][/audio] What does the professor mean when she says this: A. Pleistocene rewilding has been tried before without success B. Pleistocene rewilding should be tried with just a few species C. Pleistocene rewilding has already been thoroughly researched D. Pleistocene rewilding is another form of human

答案：?

重听句：If you think about it though, the core problem with this sixth mass extinction is human interference. Pleistocene rewinding is based on good intentions, but you know, it probably would just be more of the same thing. 这个重听句的意思是：Pleistocene rewinding可能出发点是好的，但是它可能和以前没什么区别。要想理解这句话，我们必须要知道上下文含义，知道“以前”是什么样子的。结合上一句内容：第六次大灭绝的核心问题就是人类干序。所以我们知道，PW虽然是好的，但也是一种人为干序。这个题还结合了语气+转折考点，but you know这个地方，教授有非常强的语气。还是我们一直强调的，语气强烈的时候，特别容易出重听题。所以这个题的答案是【D】

例题2:16-L2-Q6

What does the professor imply when he says this A. He will not write a term on the blackboard B. The students do not have to take notes C. The situation was described in the reading D. The students can easily guess what he means

答案：?

重听句：Composers, after all, had to earn a living, and those who were employed in the services of a specific patron, well, I don't have to spell it out for you. 这个重听句稍微有一点难度。重听句的意思是，作曲家毕间是要生活的，那些被赞助商雇佣的作曲家的名字，就不用我说了吧。一般来讲“不用说”表达的态度是不重要，或者比较简单，学生都知道。所以很多同学会认为B是答案。但是一种过度推断，不重要和记笔记不能够进行同义替换的，两者不是一个概念，音频中完全没有笔记相关的信息，所以是不能选的。同时也要结合教授说这句话的语气，这个题的答案是【D】
