托福听力精要(2)

2) 对一般疑问句回答题型。该类题型在 托福 听力中不断涌现。一般疑问句在英文中又被叫作Yes or No question,这是因为对这类问题的回答只有两种可能性,要么是yes, 要么是no, 此外别无选择。在实际做题时,此类题型的解题方法和技巧非常简单,那就是如果你听不懂第二个人说的话,你就按照否定第一人的问题去回答,于是你就会得到正确的答案。我常举这样一例:

  A: I need to see a dermatologist. You are familiar with Dr. Smith. Do you recommend her?

  B: I have been seen by her a few times, and the best I can say for her is she has some interesting magazines in her waiting room.

  此句是九五年八月改题之后的一套题的第三十题,事实证明这一点的确很难,要想解决该题,很多同学的实力都达不到。但如果你能运用该题型的技巧,也就是:在对一般疑问句进行回答时,第二人说的话听不懂,只要否定掉就可以的话,你仍然可以得到正确的答案。这种感觉真是让人喜出望外。看看这道题的四个选项,找一找这样的感觉吧!

  讲了半天,可能同学还是没有认识到这个题型的重要性。事实上,这种题型还可以进一步推广,即当第一人除了说一个一般疑问句之外,还可以说出一个观点,一个建议,如果第二人说的话,你还是觉得不识庐山真面目时,不妨也采用这样的做题方法。

  此类题型的例句举不胜举,再看几例,体会体会:

  a) Did you meet the new teacher yesterday?
  
   I’ve been sick for 3 days.

  b) Have you read this month’s issue of Inquiry?

   What journal is that?

  c) Did you ask Shirley to go to the dance with you?
 
   She is away at a conference until tomorrow.

  d) Were you able to get your own locker at the Gym?
 
   They’re temporarily out of them. I’ve to check again next week.

  e) Do you think Janet will spend a week in the country with us?
 
   Only if she can tear herself away from her books.

  f) Should I buy this exercise record for Linda for her birthday?
 
   She already has the cassette.

  g) Will you come to my poetry reading next week?
  
   I’ll be out of town then.

  h) Have you heard who won the election?
 
   I missed the news and haven’t had time to read the paper.
