小编:长安 141关系词在雅思听力的考试中占有非常大的比重,关系词的分类通常有以下几种:
并列关系(and, or, also, as well as, too, in addition to, besides, both, either…or…,neither … nor …);
因果关系(because, since, as, due to …, caused by …, as a result (of), therefore, so, thus);
举例(for example, for instance, such as, like, including);
转折关系(but, however, yet, while,whereas, nevertheless);
对比关系(instead, on the other hand, by/in contrast, on the contrary),etc.
1.剑11T1S1 第七题:小标题During the event -The band should use the __________ door at the back.(乐队应该用后面的______门。)
原文如下:Well, they'll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.
很多同学一听到front door就直接写了,他们说没错啊,我听到了use,也听到了door啊。但是他们忽略了两个重要的点,一个本篇观点—— “关系词”,关系词没听到当然也就没真正理解句意了;rather than这个词组是“与其…倒不如”“而不是”的含义,那么它后面接的就肯定不是答案;第二点就是忽略了door后面的后置定语at the back,那么至少文中要听到round the back才好判断句意听完整了,所以这题答案是stage。这是笔记填空题型的对比关系的运用。
2.剑11T1S3第29题:The main finding of Smolinsky's research was that class teamwork activities:
A. were most effective when done by all-women groups.
B. had no effect on the performance of men or women.
C. improved the results men more than of women.
题目意思是Smolinsky的研究主要发现是班级团队活动怎么样?
原文如下:Greg: Let me guess…the women were better at teamwork. Lisa: That's what I expected, but actually the men and the women got the same results whether they were working in teams or on their own.
当学生们一听到两人的前半句谈话时,就容易把答案锁定在A选项,因为听到woman were better at teamwork,其实重点却在but actually后面的men and women got the same results,所以这里答案是B。
在这里,我们需要认识到but 是一个非常明显的转折关系,往往其后才是表达的真正意图;其次,actually这个单词的功能我们也要留意,例如“Actually, it's just gone up to $250.”从这句话我们可以推测到前面对话内容里有数字,而且说得不对,那么actually所起到的作用是correcting。那么在以后遇到转折关系的but,however等词,要加上一个actually,因为它也是一个非常重要的词,这个转折关系词在选择题型中的运用。
3.剑11T4S1 第十题Who is each play suitable for? (这个戏剧适合谁观看?)
A. mainly for children B. mainly for adults C. suitable for people of all ages
Plays -- 10. Silly Sailor _____
原文如下:Melanie: And finally, what about "Silly Sailor"? Rob: That's a comedy, and it's for young and old.
咋一听原文,学生很快就选了B,可是正确的答案应该是C。为什么会选到B呢,并不是说学生们听不出comedy后面的并列词and,不是他们分辨不出这是并列关系,而是败在并列词的读音变化上。两个单词连读的其中一条规则是,前一个单词以辅音音素结尾,后一个单词以元音音素开头,则两个词应该连读;那么and 和old连读起来的音倒是有点像adult,特别是语速快的时候,辨音能力差的同学这道题是肯定搞混的。
因此,虽然and非常简单,但是当它的考察结合了读音时,难度又升了一个等级了。这就是并列关系词在匹配题型中的运用。
以上就是环球教育黄驰老师总结的关系词在各题型中的运用,在学习的过程中这些就是我们需要学习和积累的知识,只有自己的基本功过关了,才能以不变(知识点)应万变(题型),所以同学们还是扎扎实实地打好基础吧!
