如何正确使用托福听力TPO材料?
面对托福听力的复习备考,相信有很多的同学会选择利用TPO来进行复习。但是听力TPO不仅仅只是用来刷题的材料,其实它还有更大的用处。小编就为大家整理了详细的内容,供大家参考。
如何正确使用托福听力TPO材料?
大家想象一下,是否自己在考试过程中会有这种经历:
单词眼睛认识但耳朵不认识,看见了反应是:哦!原来如此!
连读弱读缩读通通听成一坨,
单词反应特别特别慢,反应过来已经说了半句话了….
单词好像都听懂了,连成句子什么鬼?
诸如此类…
拿如下一句话举例:
Mangrove root systems have the ability to absorb and well trap sediments and pollutants.(TPO27.1)
一位25+的同学听这句话的内心戏应该是这样的:
Mangrove根部系统能吸附和困住沉积物和污染物,这东西在进入海洋之前会流过这些植物的根部。
但15上下的小明同学大概会是这样:
Mangrove root systems(mangrove什么东西)have the ability(有能力)to absorb and well trap sediments(大概是sediment?什么是sediment来着?)and pollutants in water that flows through them(什么流过什么….哦,sediment是沉积物!)before they enter the ocean.(什么进入海洋?)
那么这样的内心os,肯定连不成一句话的。小明同学听完这句话获得的信息是:
Mangrove有能力/沉积物/流过/进入海洋
所以小明同学在这句话中,需要解决的问题是:
Sediment不能反应延迟,并且下次能够听出trap sediment这种搭配;That flows through这种从句要听出来;对that这种从句连接词的弱读尽量敏感。
小明又在考场上遇到了这样一句话,然后小明的内心:
This gas is hydrogen sulfide(这种什么东西),rises up(上升)and mixes with(什么东西?)oxygen and the underground water(氧气和地下水)that sits in(什么东西?)the cracks(裂缝和)and fissures in the lime stone(已崩溃).(TPO16.1 LechuguillaCave)
那么小明需要解决的问题是:
gas/ɡæs/:气体(这个音小明可能是不熟悉的);mix with混合;再次反复听that这种从句连接词的弱读现象;fissure裂缝
好,那么小明同学应该如何解决这些问题?
我在教托福听力的时候,见过无数同学tpo刷过很多遍,还是10几分上不去。因为这些同学备考方式是:听文章,做题,错了,看解析,回去重听,听不懂看着文本听,哦是这样!然后这篇文章就江湖不见了,仿佛见了很多题型,其实并没什么卵用。
托福听力不考选项理解,只考一件事:是否能听得懂
其实小明和他的同学小王都是15分,但有些略微不一样,比如小明词汇相对弱,但他说之前在国外待过,或者比较爱看美剧,所以辨音会稍微强一些,但他可能不止不认识fissure,也不认识sediment,小王可能是个传统中国学生,单词强一些,辨音弱一些,但归根结底,虽然他们有些差别,但提高的本质是一样的,就是精听+跟读
为什么要跟读?
因为你在跟中国人说话的时候,一般在母语中你已经熟悉的语音现象对你不会造成影响,你可以轻松区别一二三四声。但无法区别英语中的连读弱读,比如might have弱读成might’ve.同理,外国人学中文,是不是也有一二三四声分不清的现象?那么这就需要我们把这个窟窿补上。但跟读的材料因人而异,能跟lecture的跟lecture,跟不了的跟老托partC,跟不了的跟口语task3和5的听力文本,量力而行,不要求听多少读多少,需要的是:1.坚持!坚持!坚持!如果断了不如不跟,每天哪怕实在没时间跟读10分钟也可以!2.重质不重量!不要规定什么我一定要跟读完5篇lecture,然后每句话读得别人都听不懂,如果跟不上一开始慢一点是非常正常的,一定要保证自己说的话跟原文越相近越好,把自己的发音录下来多听!现在很多软件都可以实现录音,用起来!要保证自己说的话是可以被听懂的!
那么到这步,小明是否能实现听力分数的飞跃?想太多,假设小明这篇文章精听完,然后放在一边,下一次小明听到这句话又遇见了这个fissure
the ice would expand or constrict,and that can cause big fissures,big cracks to form in the surface layers of the ice…(TPO07.4Glacial Movement)
小明内心:fissure(什么?)
但小明的同学小王有按照老师说的进行精听,并且背了一遍精听笔记,然后小王内心:fissure…好像是裂缝!那么小王就进步了。
这是听力基本功的训练,所有文章都是单词组成句子,句子组成段落,段落组成篇章,同学们需要练习的,还有分层和考点的训练,但这些都是建立在能基本听懂的情况之上!所以请同学们一定记住:不要盲目刷题,利用起来tpo,精听,复习,跟读,脚踏实地才能提高基本功!

托福听力官 方真题使用技巧
托福官 方真题材料是备考托福听力的材料。而很多同学却存在困扰,已经刷了20套,甚至30套官方真题,听力分数还是稳步不前。究其原因,是因为这些同学只是在简单地刷题,机械重复地进行这样的步骤:做题-对答案-看原文-思考片刻-恍然大悟-开始听下一篇文章,从而没有掌握正确练习官方真题的方法。
托福听力官方真题使用技巧
要知道官方真题不是题库,你曾经做过的题目绝不可能再被考到,盲目的刷题,只是了解某道题目该选什么,或是记住了文章内容或答案,对于真正的考试是没有帮助。
托福听力一直是大家托福备考的硬伤,听力不管自己怎么练基本没什么提高,其实自己练习成绩提高不明显主要是使用的资料不合适另外就是不能真实处在考试环境中。
托福听力官方真题好在哪里?
那为什么我们还要做那么多官方真题的题目呢?
做官方真题的真正目的在于:掌握托福听力文章的结构、出题思路、选项规律、解题技巧。虽然你在考场上将遇到的是从来没见过的文章,但这些文章的篇章结构,出题思路和解题技巧是和官方真题里面的题目一样的。
在练习时需要你认真分析每一篇官方真题题目,每做一篇去加深熟悉这些规律。分析的多了,才能真正掌握这些规律,最终在考试的时候熟练运用在新的题目上。
托福听力官方真题使用方法步骤介绍
第1步:正常听一篇文章的音频并完成题目;
第2步:改正错题,标注出答案对应的原文出处;
第3步:分析每一个题目的每一个选项,为什么对,为什么错;
第4步:分析原文的考点,为什么作者要在这里出题目;
第5步:分析每一个考点出现前的提示词,或重要逻辑关系;
第6步:分析这篇文章的结构,是总分总,还是总分,还是总分分等,话题转折处如何衔接;
第7步:根据原文做笔记的训练,对照练习笔记和自己最初的笔记;
第8步:摘抄词汇和短语整理场景词汇,并储备相关场景单词。

小托福词汇量及语法如何备考?
小托福考试由3大部分组成,听力,阅读及语言形式和含义。语言形式和含义其实就是涉及到语法及词汇,当然在听力和阅读部分,对词汇量及语法也是有要求的,所以这一块的备考是非常重要的,那么小托福词汇量及语法如何备考?
小托福词汇量及语法如何备考?
一、小托福语法考点
【基础的语法考点】:
1、动词时态及其被动语态
2、形容词/副词的应用
3、限定词如some/any等用法区分
4、句法结构之谓语动词和非谓语动词的判断
5、句法结构之副词/介词/连词 结构上和语义上的用法区分
6、各类从句考点,主要考查从句引导词的使用
【高阶的语法考点】:
1、倒装结构
2、虚拟语气
3、强调句型
4、独立主格
这部分所考查的知识点基本涵盖了所有初高中阶段的语法知识点。基础语法点占大部分,高阶语法点也略有涉及。同时很多题目的判断需要结合句子的理解才能更准确地判断语法形式,强调了语法的应用性。
二、Language Meaning
主要考查语境用词,即结合具体所在的上下文语境,选出符合作者表达意图的词汇和短语,这对学生的词汇量提出了很高的要求。小托福考生中有相当多是年龄较小的考生,就目前中考词汇1600,高考词汇3500的要求来看,小托福词汇量在3500-4000左右,对比下,难度立分高下,最难的还要结合了解和记忆词汇有关的短语,所以在备考的过程中,单纯的语法知识点并不能帮助学生解决所有问题,词汇量也是非常核心的因素。
三、语法涉及到的话题
以便条、邮件、公告等形式,或以学生习作、课文、杂志中节选出的较为学术的文章的形式出现。和校园生活、日常生活等息息相关。对于长篇幅的文章,涉及的话题范围较为广泛,生物、地理、历史等科目的相关内容都可能考到。
四、备考建议
1、前期阶段:夯实语法基础 + 拓展词汇并积累搭配/句型。通过多阅读原版文章,增加语言逻辑性,语言思维型,让语法和文章、理解相结合
2、后期阶段:多做题总结,不断地优化做题思路
从考试角度出发,还是要多做点题,了解考试的形式及具体考查的内容,通过做题不断地查漏补缺,通过做题不断地适应考试的节奏,以保证有限时间内的正确率。
小托福词汇量及语法如何备考就和大家分享到这里了,同学们在备考的时候要注意完善自己的语法体系,注意区别体制内考试的理论性。
