一、场景不同
雅思听力考试常考的十大场景可以分为两大类,一是生活场景,二是学术场景。生活场景主要是指与生活息息相关的场景,包括租房、购物、课外活动、旅游场景等;而学术场景则与学习生活相关联,如作业讨论、学术讲座、新生报到等场景。在雅思听力考试中,section1一般都属于生活场景,而section3则是学术场景。
比如,剑10Test1Section1是对美国自驾游的方案、路线、时长、价位等的咨询,属于旅游场景;剑8Test1Section1是关于预定音乐节的演出票的对话,属于课外活动场景;剑7Test2Section1是关于一位男士给汽车公司打电话咨询关于购买汽车保险事务的对话,是典型的银行购物场景。剑10Test4Section3是两个学生对工作实习经历的讨论;剑9Test4Section3是关于一个学生与同学交流学习心得的对话;剑8Test1Section3是关于一位学生和老师讨论其所在小组的地理实地考察方案,并且老师对方案提出一些修改意见的内容。
可见,在场景内容上,section1和section3有很大的差别。Section1多是与生活相关的对话,而section3则与学术相关。由于场景的差异,这两个部分所考查的词汇也有很大的差别,因此大家在备考中,一定要根据这两个部分常考的场景来积累词汇,避免在考试中由于词汇问题而失分。
二、录音形式不同
表面上来看,在雅思听力考试中,section1和section3的形式都是对话,但实质上这两种对话也存在很大的差异。Section1中的对话大多是两个人之间以一问一答的形式展开的,也就是我们常说的“咨询”模式。比如剑4Test1Section1是关于学生就学校组织的旅游活动向相关的负责人咨询的对话,其中涉及到了景点、路程、费用等问题,属于典型的旅游场景。下文是录音原文节选,其中M是学生,W是旅游活动的负责人。
M: What sort of places?
W: Well. Obviously, it varies, but always places of historical interest and also which offers a variety of shopping, because our students always ask about that. And then we go for ones where we know there are guided tours because this gives a good focus for the visit.
M: Do you travel far?
W: Well, we are lucky here obviously because we are able to say that all our visits are less than three hours drive.
M: How much do they cost?
W: Again it varies, between 5 and 15 pounds a head, depending on distance.
从原文中可以看出,对话中一直是学生提问,负责人在回答,这样以一问一答的形式来进行的。也就是说,对于学生的问题,大家只要抓住回答者所说的关键词,就能够准确的定位答案。
Section3中的对话通常是多个学生以及老师就某一话题或者是作业展开的对话,也就是我们常说的“讨论”模式。比如剑4Test2Section3是三个学生关于作业情况以及研究方法的讨论,是典型的作业讨论场景。下文是录音原文的节选:
W: Did you get as far as discussing which form of data collection we should go for--questionnaire or interview, isn't it?
M1: Yes, I think we should do a questionnaire. That would be so much less time consuming than organizing interviews, I recommend. Once we've agreed on the wording we only have to send it out and wait for the responses.
W: Yes...I think it probably would be quicker. But what that are the article gave us last week say about the quality of data from questionnaires?
M1:I'm pretty sure recommended questionnaires are source of highly reliable data as long as you design the questionnaire properly in the first place the data will be fine.
W: No. I'm sure it talks about drawbacks as well, doesn't it, something about the response rate and the problems you get if it is too low.
M1: Yes, but we only need data from 5 subjects, anyway.
W: Oh, I suppose so. Another drawback I remember it mentions was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected because it is limited to the questions fixed in advance by the researcher.
M1: Come on, Rose. This is only a practice. It’s not meant to be real research, is it?
W: Well, I'm sure about that.
从录音中我们可以看出,M1和W正在讨论数据收集的方法,而且在讨论的过程中两个学生产生了不同的意见,M1认为“do a questionnaire”是最好的方法,而W则不认同,并列举了两个questionnaire的缺点。也就是说,我们不能仅凭借一个人的录音确定学生们所选择的数据收集方法,而是要认真的听每一个人的观点,才能最终确定结论。
综上,虽然雅思听力section1和section3都是对话形式,但是其本质上有很大的差别,section1的对话偏向于问答形式,而section3则倾向于讨论的形式。因此在听录音的过程中,大家要注意把握录音的特点,这样才能够快速、准确的定位答案,从而提高做题效率。
