很多中国学生都会觉得托福的听力很难,原因可能有很多:
不习惯美式发音,平时少听native speakers讲话,少听录音带,词汇量和知识面跟不上,口语不好等原因。
口语不好也会影响听力?! 当然会!托福的听力很大一部分是对话,都是一些日常用语,如果口语不好当然听不懂。 所以,托福听力材料也是最好的口语学习材料。要想提高听力,光死听死没有用的,还要注意分析听力原文。学习口语表达方法,多阅读,多方面结合才能有正在的提高。"潇潇语言实验室"现推出"托福口语听力篇",希望对大家有点帮助。每集都是根据历届的托福真题编写。有编号的句子都是托福听力原文,一些补充例句也是托福原文。
每集的句子摘自同一套托福听力题。
学习英语靠得是平时得认真积累,别放弃呀!----潇潇
1. I picked up the receiver, dropped the coins in the slot, and dialed the number I wanted. 这个句子是关于打投币公共电话的。
Slot -缝隙。这里是指投币口。 Receiver就是电话的听筒。
2. Virginia's going to take all her required courses this year.
Required courses -必修课 required 是require的过去分词。在这里作为形容词来用,意思是"被要求的",也就是学校要求学生必修的课。
选修课是elective.
e.g. I have 9 required courses and 3 electives this semester.
我这个学期有9门必修课,3门选修课。
I hope I can take a few electives next term.
3. Not only is Cheryl a good swimmer, but she's also a promising musician and a great photographer.
Not only did I forget my train ticket, but I also forgot my passport.
Not only was Ellen there, but Wanda and Dale came too.
Not only…but also.不仅。。。。而且。。。
Not only +倒装语序, but also + 陈述语序
4. My pen's out of ink. - 我的笔没有墨水了。
Be out of something = 用完了一样东西
另外一个托福原句:
The bookstore is out of lined notebook paper.
Lined 是指纸张有线条的。
类似的结构run out of something.
I just ran out of supplies.(托福原句)
举一反三:We are running out of money/water/time. 我们的钱/水/时间就快用完了。
